It may also be that India will act first and Afghanistan will assist. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWho can say for sure? In any case, as long as one of Afghanistan and India makes a move, the other country is likely to cooperate. Serov seems to remember that when he first went to India, he had already planted nails in India, nails that were enough to make India angry.

India in this time and space was far more pro-Soviet than it was in history, because India annexed Bangladesh. Moreover, the strength of the Communist Party in China has increased considerably. For the peace believers in Bangladesh, the Hindus naturally want to dismantle the other party's faith, but given that Hinduism in India itself is relatively rare, and it is a more backward religion than peace religion, there is no possibility of success at all. Serov is very disdainful of peace religions, but there are always exceptions, for example, when he was in India, he felt that compared to Hinduism, peace religions are actually quite good.

Since Hinduism did not have this ability, it was the ruling Communist Party of West Bengal that eventually rushed forward and carried out some of the methods used by the Soviet Union against Bangladesh, promoting atheism, public ownership of land, and state ownership of enterprises.

It is also because Bangladesh was quietly annexed by India, which caused a huge decline in India's image, especially the relationship with the peaceful Christian countries plummeted, and in this case, India's move to move closer to the Soviet Union became more and more obvious.

If we do not consider the combat effectiveness of Indian soldiers, India's weaponry and scale at this time should be second only to the United States and the Soviet Union in the world, and the degree of advancement is much higher than that of China now. The MiG-27 and T72 weapons commonly equipped by the Soviet Union entered the Indian army.

Having said that, although the combat effectiveness of the Indian army is poor, in a worse than bad world, do not forget that Pakistan is even worse in combat, and the USSR would have surpassed the United States in the weapons of the ground forces. India still has a clear advantage over Pakistan, and the only problem is that India still has to guard against China and cannot do its best.

As for the alliance between a peaceful religious state and a Hindu country, it is very normal to fight another peaceful religious country. Religion cannot resolve all disputes, and the government must also refer to the national interest. In the seventeenth century, in order to resist the enemy Holy Roman Empire, France allied with the Ottoman Empire several times and attacked the Holy Roman Empire from the east and west.

Amin, as the number two man in Afghanistan now, thinks the same way. Moreover, the central government of Afghanistan does need to expand its army to deal with disobedient local tribes. This is also an intrinsic need in Afghanistan itself. So it's very good for Afghanistan.

"It would be great if India could be on our side." After thinking about it for a long time, Amin decided that as long as India took action, it would be a good thing for Afghanistan to shoulder the strategic offensive mission of the Soviet Union and at the same time regain its own lost territory. Both reassuring the Soviets and expanding Afghanistan's own interests.

This shows that the number two in Afghanistan has agreed, and the number one person is more obedient. will not hinder Serov's ideas. But what? Serov glanced at Amin and said, "I don't really want to interfere in the struggle between the people's faction and the banner faction, Comrade Amin, but I suggest that the contradictions within the party should not be eliminated physically, and I have not found any difference between the two factions at all." As for the struggle outside the party, what do you want to do, I guarantee that the Soviet Union will never ask. There are things that do not tolerate mercy. ”

The struggle between the people and the banner faction was much more incomprehensible than the struggle between Stalin and the Trotskyites in the Soviet Union. At least the struggle in the Soviet Union was first and foremost a struggle between the construction of socialism in one country and the struggle of the revolutionaries in the world. There is not even the slightest difference between the two factions of Afghan opinions, and they are simply competing for power.

"I just kept the leaders of the banner faction away from the political center, and I never meant to kill them." Armin patted his chest and assured, "The struggle within the party will not be by means of physical annihilation, I can guarantee that." ”

Can you guarantee it? Serov didn't press on, hoping that Amin would do what he could say. The fate of the banner faction of the Afghan People's Party, if it was in the Soviet Union ten years ago, was the fate of the Shelepin group, and important tasks were sent abroad as ambassadors. This is how Amin treated the Afghan banner leaders.

However, I believe that if Amin wants to get the support of the Soviet Union to expand the army in a short time, there should be no big moves. Because Afghanistan without Soviet support is absolutely incapable of recovering lost territory, and as Amin said, Afghanistan cannot defeat Pakistan.

On the one hand, the Durand Line plan is to give the main ethnic group of Afghanistan an outlet, improve the legal status of the Afghan People's Party, and regain lost territory is very important for every country, and it is an excellent thing to boost the prestige of the ruling party.

The most important example was the Soviet storming of Constantinople, which gave great prestige to all members of the Presidium of the Central Committee at that time. Since then, the Soviet Union has been rampant in the Mediterranean, and has established absolute superiority in the Eastern Mediterranean, and has had a greater impact on Syria, Egypt, and Libya, and Egypt's betrayal of the Soviet Union has not happened.

The Soviet Union, which occupied Constantinople, established the Soviet Grad, had a greater impact on Eastern Europe, removed all geographical obstacles, and at the same time greatly changed the situation of the Warsaw Pact, and established absolute superiority over NATO, all from that moment.

For a long time, Amin's main job was to suppress the Pashtuns in Pakistan and establish his own authority, which would certainly not be done for a year or two, so Amin naturally had no time to play with the Soviet Union.

Serov's proposal has huge benefits and sequelae for Afghanistan, and the two consequences go hand in hand, and Amin must swallow it even if he knows it, this is not a conspiracy, but a very obvious conspiracy.

Serov and Amin spent five days in Sochi, on the Black Sea coast, where they discussed various aspects of Afghanistan. This includes issues of local tribes, religions, and ethnic minorities. When should we be tough on cleaning, when should we be fair, and how to deal with various problems. As long as it happened in the USSR and Eastern Europe, Serov gave an answer. It did not happen in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and he showed Amin some archives from Middle Eastern countries.

"As far as the USSR is concerned, of course we want all our neighbors to be stable, and if the country is unstable and at the same time pro-American, my job is to find a way to clean up the country. These two conditions cannot be allowed to occur in a neighbouring country at the same time. While looking through the archives, Serov said to Amin, "Iran currently meets the conditions of being pro-American, and I hope that he will always have a stable political system and not cause trouble for us in the Soviet Union." ”

It was also a warning to Afghanistan that if Afghanistan fell into chaos and affected the Soviet minorities in Central Asia, it could lead to Soviet military intervention. This is not a wonderful thing, in just a few years, Turkey's economy has regressed, and the domestic environment has become more and more conservative, all of which are the consequences of the Soviet attack. I believe that no one in the neighboring countries of the USSR wants to come a second time.

The Pahlavi dynasty in Iran, on the one hand, strengthened the military and police forces of the shah, and on the other hand, it never took the initiative to provoke the Soviet Union. However, in recent years, the situation in Iran seems to have become more and more unstable, and the United States has fooled the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in history.

If the Soviet Union can create the false impression that Iran will be pro-Soviet after the revolution, maybe the Americans will not be able to help but come forward to fight another war, but after all, this is something that has not happened in history, and no one knows whether it can succeed or not, maybe the Americans will continue to play dead.

"Teacher, you really taught me a lot of things this time, blindly being tough really can't solve the problem, diplomacy and the fate of the country are also very important." Amin is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, otherwise he would not have been born at the bottom to get the opportunity to study in the United States, he understands that the Soviet Union is the biggest problem facing Afghanistan, and this visit to Moscow is probably clear about the bottom line of the Soviet Union.

The goals of the two countries are not completely identical, but it is not difficult to find common goals, for the Soviet Union Pakistan is a stumbling block to the south, for India Pakistan is part of the British division of India, for Afghanistan Basstan is the enemy to occupy its own territory. For Iran, it is better to say that the Shiites in Pakistan and Iran are not friends, if not enemies, if not enemies.

On the last day, Serov and Amin set out on a yacht to see the beautiful scenery of the Black Sea. Serov, who grabbed the fence with both hands, faced the sea breeze, "Many people think that our Soviet Union is domineering, which is true, but at this stage we only have this way." If one day the United States admits defeat, the Soviet Union disintegrates the greatest threat. Naturally, there is no need for a huge military force, and now the garrisons of many countries will also be withdrawn. At that time, we no longer needed garrisons to consolidate our influence, and we would not have found a way to find so many hot spots. ”

"I hope that day will come sooner and the world will be free of confrontation sooner." Amin said this from the perspective of his own country, Afghanistan has a military base set up by the Soviet Union.

If the United States admits defeat in the Cold War and admits defeat, the shrinkage of the Soviet Union's military power is inevitable. Serov and Amin's week-long conversation was the first important leader in the Soviet top to extend an olive branch to the Afghan strongman.

The next day Amin departed for home, while Serov continued on to Sovietgrad. (To be continued.) )
