The streets of Kabul at this time are not the kind of general peaceful and religious countries in the impression, only from this city there is no difference from China in this era, and the Soviet Union will not only provide weapons, but many things will become people's livelihood facilities, and no matter how bad it is, there will be a few more high-rise buildings.

"Why a headscarf, really!" Valya pursed her lips and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Obedient, this is the country of Moose and Lin, and I don't want to do this, but it's better to respect the local customs until there is no solution!" Serov's eyes glared and frightened his hairy sister. In the Soviet Union, under the strong control of the State Security Council and the NKVD, the crime rate was kept down to an extremely low state, but this did not mean that this was the case in all countries. Not to mention countries like Afghanistan, even the current United States is also this virtue.

In later generations, Serov once thought that the public order in the United States should only become bad in the new century, but he went to the United States once and realized that the public order in the United States in later generations had already improved. The current American society is the most chaotic time, compared to the current United States, the American security complained about by later generations of keyboard politicians is like heaven, and it is not too much to describe it as a shot to you with a disagreement.

"Let's go to the embassy first, and the other fighters will wait at the liaison site!" Holding his conservatively dressed wife, Serov considered whether to make a bus, but after thinking about it for a while, he forgot it, not because there was a problem with the bus system in Kabul, but because he was afraid that he would not find the way.

"Isn't that Rada? Why do you think the state always bails out foreign countries, and can't we save these things to give benefits to our own workers? "A lot of things in Kabul, even the model of the buses, are indistinguishable from those in the Soviet Union, and while the two were talking, a fire truck with a Czechoslovak aid came whizzing by.

"No way, we can't just use tanks to prove our strength, right?" The KGB is doing a lot of the protection work of foreign aid teams. He also knows a little bit about it, but he doesn't know much. After all, he has a lot of things to do, and it is impossible for him to keep an eye on a certain piece of business every day.

Kabul in this era had a modern transportation service system at this time. At the university, students wore Western-style clothes, and young boys and girls interacted relatively freely. Women were able to work in fields such as medicine, and education was valued as a great force for equality. If you get into school and get good grades. You will have the opportunity to go to university and even study abroad, so that you can become a middle-class person and live a comfortable life. Education has a sacred value. Most hospitals provide a wealth of guidance for young mothers in the care of their postpartum babies. About half of Afghans have access to some level of health care.

On the street to the Soviet embassy, Serov and his wife also saw schoolchildren in red scarves getting out of school, an Afghan system of boy scouts divided into two parts, men and women, although not combined. But there were also many forms of Young Pioneers in the socialist countries at this time, and of course the things of education were not quite the same.

If you look at it just from the way you see it in Kabul. It would not be wrong to say that Afghanistan in this era is more advanced than China. Since the Soviet Union was first founded, it has taken an attitude of assistance to Afghanistan, and after several decades, there has finally been some progress. In at least a few cities in Afghanistan, people are no worse off than in other countries.

But at the Soviet embassy in Kabul, Serov couldn't laugh anymore, and KGB agents here told him that only 17 percent of the city's population was live, or more than four-fifths of the population, was religiously controlled. So at best, he sees a corner of Afghanistan. Fortunately, Afghanistan's economy has only deteriorated and is not out of control.

Actually, according to Serov's perception. The Soviet Union cannot be wrong about its treatment of Amin, although this man has a skill. But the drastic Stalinization policy was right at the head of the religious forces that were strong here. Coupled with Amin's own history of studying in the United States, the Soviet Union had doubts, of course, in the end, it must be said that in the Soviet Union's decision to attack Afghanistan, two people around Brezhnev played a very important role, one was Ustinov and the other was Andropov, and one of these two people was the Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union. The other was the chairman of the National Security Council at the time, and both powerful departments advocated invasion, which eventually led the Soviet Union into this quagmire.

"Without half a million mobile troops, this country must not be touched!" In the embassy, it took two hours to read the report on Afghanistan that had been sent to me. Serov made this assertion. There are only two ways to deal with guerrilla warfare, one is to rely on mobilizing the masses to eradicate the soil of guerrilla warfare, but this method is only effective in the country. The other is to throw in more force than the country can resist at one time, and it is useless to wage guerrilla warfare at this time, because the regular army kills much faster than the guerrilla army grows.

The question is that once something happens in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union cannot use either method, so should the Soviet Red Army mobilize the masses in Afghanistan to contain the guerrillas? Isn't that a joke? As for the second option, Serov was already disappointed with the road from Uzbekistan to Afghanistan when he came, and he also knew why the Soviet Union only used 100,000 men to fight, not because the Soviet Red Army was overconfident, but because the transportation on the border with the Soviet Union in the north could only supply 100,000 troops.

"What for?" Valya, who had removed her headscarf, had just taken a shower, and as soon as she came in, she saw her husband muttering to a report that, with what she knew about her husband, he must be planning something shady.

"Open up the territory on the map!" Serov glanced back at Valya and naturally closed the report on the table. If we don't get involved in Afghanistan, based on the current development process, in the end, the Soviet Union is likely to face that kind of embarrassing situation, that is, let Afghanistan go and eventually send troops to solve the problem, and even if it does not send troops at that time, it may see Afghanistan become a religious country, and no matter which option it takes, it will not be a good thing to treat the Soviet Union.

Afghanistan became more and more anti-Soviet in the late seventies, and in the final analysis, it was influenced by a large country, that is, Iran next to it, and after the Iranian revolution, it had a huge impact on the surrounding area. This can be seen from the fact that Saddam Hussein received the support of all the Gulf countries when he attacked Iran. However, Serov could not prevent this from happening, because although Iran is anti-American and anti-Soviet, its anti-American nature is even stronger, and if Serov prevents the Iranian revolution from happening, it will be tantamount to helping the United States, and this matter must not be done.

If given a choice, Serov would rather attack Iran than Afghanistan, at least the Soviet Union still had an internal presence on Iran's side, and there were nearly 10 million Azerbaijanis in northern Iran. Now it is only a slight deduction, and he understands the dilemma faced by the Soviet Union in history, and so many countries in the south of the entire Soviet Union are not simply who to choose and who not to choose. There was a lot of entanglement in this, and there were enough reasons for the USSR to stand still.

Take a few countries next to the Soviet Union, such as Azerbaijan in the north of Iran and Uzbeks in the north of Afghanistan, both of which are ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union. On the contrary, the problems on the Turkish side were much easier to solve, at least at the beginning of the century, the Turks killed all the Armenians, so that the Soviet Union had no scruples about Turkey, and the Soviet Union did not have Kurds in the country, so they were not afraid of losses.

A completely pro-American country like Turkey is not difficult to deal with, completely pro-American? Serov, who was in the chair, sat up suddenly, as if he had grasped something. Isn't there a country next to Afghanistan that is completely pro-American and regards Afghanistan as its own backyard......

"Pakistan!" Serov's eyes lit up and he slammed his fist on the table. In fact, Afghanistan has access to the sea in history, before Britain and Afghanistan signed the Durand Line, and even earlier, Balochistan was part of Afghanistan, and the kingdom of Afghanistan at that time had a coastline, unlike now it is a landlocked country.

Serov, who was in high spirits, opened the map and looked at the locations of Afghanistan and India, made an outflanking gesture with both hands, and said in a low voice, "A big country with a good voice can't even handle a small Pakistan?" I've dug you a hole, but I can compensate you somewhere else......"

"Done?" Valya knew at a glance that her husband had come up with a solution to the problem.

"It's over, as long as we do a good job of the southbound route, we will be invincible!" Serov stood up and kissed his wife, and said very excitedly, "What are you looking for me!" ”

"Oh, there's news from outside, Afghan Prime Minister Daoud heard that you came to Kabul and wants to entertain you!" Valya touched the ring on her hand, the ruby on it sparkled, she remembered this person, the ring was given to Serov by Daoud in Azerbaijan, and finally to her own hand.

"The Red Prince, huh? The news is pretty fast! However, our prince is not doing well now, and it seems that there is some conflict with His Majesty the King, so let's go and see! Serov grabbed the woman's hand and whispered, "Don't look at it, I'll use it to pave the ......floor in a month."

The woman's love for gemstones is really speechless, but it reminds Serov of one thing, because he has a friend who is an online shopping enthusiast and lets him know that Afghanistan seems to be a country with very good gem resources, which is much faster than extracting natural gas and non-ferrous metals.
