Chapter 31: The Secret Mission (Part II)
In fact, the reason why our country is willing to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan is because the country has gone. In 91, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Chechen rebellion made our country even worse. ”
"I don't want to belittle the Chechens, but their nation still retains the characteristics of a primitive society, their birth rate is seriously too high, and they don't like to engage in production, which makes the overall economic development of Chechnya lag behind the whole country by at least ten years, the level of education is pitiful, and the religious extremism makes it look not like the Soviet Union, but like Afghanistan under the Taliban regime." In 1991, on the eve of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the average unemployment rate in the entire Soviet Union was only a few percent, while the unemployment rate in Chechnya was more than 30 percent. Such a state of affairs makes the Chechens reckless to take risks once they are instigated. ”
Fengyinglou nodded, whether it was the Soviet Union before the collapse or Russia after the break, in ninety-one years, it was facing internal and external troubles. The region of Chechnya is not as big as Beijing, China, but in such a small piece of land, there are many warlords, who advocate force and do not engage in production, and the criminal activities in the surrounding areas, such as stealing oil products, kidnapping and extortion, counterfeiting currency, and forging checks, have never stopped, and they have become the main source of economic resources in this region!
But Russia really can't give up Chechnya.
Although it is only a small land, it is the choke point in and out of the Caucasus, and it contains a large amount of oil underground, through which the pipeline from Central Asia to Europe must also pass through, and since the end of the seventies, the export of energy to the international market has been the backbone of Russia's economy, and once Chechnya is allowed to become independent, Russia will face a catastrophic blow.
It was also because of strategic considerations that in 1994, Russia, which had just experienced the collapse of the Soviet Union and the pain of economic collapse, was forced to go to war against Chechnya, which had not yet fully recovered. At that time, Russia's Defense Minister Grachev confidently said that as long as an airborne battalion was sent, the Chechen armed forces could be dealt with in a few days. As a result, he forgot that several years of turmoil had greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Russian army, and that in just 12 months, thousands of Russian soldiers and more than 20,000 civilians had been killed in the fighting.
This is an internal worry, and the external problem is that for the sake of the strategic consideration of global hegemony, the US Government has been secretly funding the Chechen rebels, has been putting pressure on the Russian Government on diplomatic occasions, and has deliberately lowered the price of oil, undermined the balance of payments in Russia's international market, and made the money in Russia's treasury so pitifully small that it is even overstretched to fight a Chechnya the size of Beijing City, let alone pay astronomical war reparations to redeem the soldiers who were captured by the Afghan army during the invasion of Afghanistan.
"In 1997, Andrew's father was transferred from the army missing list to the dead list, and from that time on, I knew that my government had abandoned them."
Faced with the fact that his colleagues are probably still imprisoned in Afghanistan, in a secret concentration camp, the government has put them on the list of "killed", but there is not much anger on Afman's face after being betrayed by the state, "In the face of this change, I was very angry at first, and I kept appealing and protesting, and the Minister of National Security personally received me." He only asked me one question...... If it is unfair for the country to abandon veterans who obey orders to fight for the country, then in order to save these veterans, it is not even more unfair for the soldiers who are still fighting on the front line of counter-terrorism and are also serving the country to send a large amount of money to the Taliban government, and finally the military supplies purchased with this money are transported to the Chechen insurgents? ”
Hearing this, even Fengyinglou couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart. It is an iron law that a sovereign country must abide by, otherwise connivance will only make the arrogance of terrorists more and more arrogant. As early as the end of the 80s, if the Soviet Union had not adopted a laissez-faire attitude on the Chechen issue and had extinguished the flames when some radicals with ulterior motives fanned the flames, how could it have evolved into what it is today?
The Taliban government openly supports al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda blatantly supports the Chechen rebels. For the sake of the very few lives. If you finance your own enemies. But as a result, more people are in danger of their lives...... This kind of behavior. Who can tell if it's right or wrong?!
This series of international situations. This is a complex mix of historical backgrounds. It turned out to be such an irresolvable dead knot!
Wind Shadow House finally understood. "You guys are doing it privately!"
"That's right. The state has its own sufferings. I can understand that. Until eight years later. They only announced the death of Andrew's father. I believe before that. They have been trying to use money. Redeem the prisoners of war. It's just that the country's financial resources don't allow it. But anyway. I must not look at my brother on my back. It is obviously carrying out a national mission. After being captured. To be in a prisoner of war camp. The second half of his life! ”
Kovman said in a deep voice: "I quit my job in the army. Look around for comrades who once fought side by side in Afghanistan. Eventually I
For a whole year. Twenty-seven like-minded brothers were found. We worked for two whole years. They infiltrated into the terraterrorist training camp. Do whatever it takes. Gather useful intelligence for us. Ultimately put the goal. Identified in the mountainous region of Tora Bora. ”
"As for Andrew......" Kovman sighed and said: "Two years ago, I determined the location of the concentration camp and returned to my homeland, hoping to get military support, but the international situation facing Russia made it impossible for my country to risk sending special forces for a group of prisoners of war ten years ago, and my experience as a military instructor in al-Qaeda made me lose the most important trust in the eyes of the government. Andrew of the Signal Flag's trainee told her what I had done over the years. ”
Wind Shadow Lou looked at Andrew's lowered face, an indescribable pity and respect, slowly flowing in the depths of his heart. He has been with this girl for a few months, how could he not know that Andrew's character is soft on the outside and strong on the inside?
probably knew that Kovman would definitely refuse her participation, so Andrew did not ask anyone for instructions, not even apply for discharge, so he left Russia quietly and directly as a trainee member of the "Vympel" special forces, and in the archives of the Ministry of Defense, he was engraved with the mark of deserter and even treason!
It was because he was already homeless and had no country to rely on that Kofman was forced to accept Andrew, let her disguise herself as a man, and stay in the al-Qaeda terrorist training camp, one of the most dangerous places in the world. Perhaps it was because of the isolation that there was no one to trust, to rely on, except for Kovman, when the AC130
A finger gently picked Andrew's chin, making her raise the tear-stained face, and in the moonlight, the necklace with the birch leaf pendant on the neck of the Wind Shadow Building, in an instant, brightened Andrew's eyes, making her face that was still pale just now rejuvenate with amazing brilliance. It was in the tension and anticipation that her breathing almost stopped, that Kazekage lowered his head and gently left a kiss full of encouragement and apologies on her forehead.
At this time, Andrew, give her a little sunshine and it will be bright, she looks similar to three years ago, only Lei Hongfei and Hai Qingwu could rely on, and Fengying Lou had a desperate desire for friendship and warmth? When Wind Shadow Lou reached out and hugged her into his arms again, feeling the familiar body temperature, and listening to the low and powerful heartbeat in Wind Shadow Building's chest, Andrew suddenly cried out loud with a "wow...... She really, really thought that she would be able to be hugged like this by Fengying Lou in this life and enjoy his care and tenderness.
Don't say anything about the junior special forces, and don't say anything about the "Vympel" special forces, Andrew is just a girl under the age of sixteen.
Wind Shadow Lou stretched out his hand and gently patted Andrew's shoulder, comforting this girl who was usually very strong, but he would always be inadvertently provoked to cry, while turning his head, looking at Kovman, and said: "I think, with your identity as an al-Qaeda, plus the group of people around you, you should know the current hiding place of Amirali, the No. 3 leader of the East Turkistan Organization who withdrew into the mountains together, right?" ”
Wind Shadow House followed behind Matusses and searched for ten days, but unfortunately the Tora Bora Mountains were too big, they fought on foot, and the radius of action was limited, and now Wind Shadow House could not determine the hiding place of Amirali, in fact, before knowing the secret of Kovman, Wind Shadow Building's only clue was to see if he could use torture to extract confessions and dig out the information he wanted from the mouths of those East Turkistan terrorists in the cave.
Kovman was nodding, he had been lurking in Afghanistan for several years in order to rescue his comrades, and of course he knew everything about it.
With a wave of his hand, Feng Yinglou interrupted what Kovman wanted to say later, and said directly: "I can cooperate with you to rescue the prisoners in the prisoner of war camp." And the condition is that afterwards, you must tell me where Amirali is hiding. Everyone takes what they need, and they don't owe each other! ”
Kovman smiled, he really smiled, Fengyinglou was much easier to persuade than he imagined, first, of course, because Fengyinglou was a smart person and understood the truth that in this case, cooperation would be mutually beneficial. Second, and most importantly, he didn't say it, but his movements when he faced Andrew, his expression, and his eyes already revealed too much, too much concern.
"No problem, after we withdraw to a safe position, I can even lead some people to make a little movement in the mountains to help you attract the attention of the enemy, and at that time, it will be easier for you to attack."
"Smack!"
Kazekage and Komman stretched out their palms and slapped together in the air. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters, support &UC e-book&! )
