Afghanistan is a multi-ethnic country, and many of the ethnic groups in the north are important ethnic minorities of the Soviet Union in Central Asia, and it is precisely for this reason that our leadership has complained about your hardline policy, because your actions in Afghanistan may detonate the Soviet Union's ethnic policy in Central Asia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Serov said frankly with his hands outstretched, "Cross-border peoples are so difficult to deal with. ”

"It seems that many Soviet leaders are afraid that I will be too cruel to the minorities in the north?" Amin wanted to defend himself, but immediately saw Serov, who was lighting a cigar and smoking violently, with a disapproving look, "That's because they think, I don't think these cross-border peoples have anything to do with the Soviet Union, they don't have Soviet nationality, and this kind of people are time bombs." It's just that I have to act as equals, and in fact our policies are already equal. ”

Forehead? Amin looked at Serov for a while and didn't know what to say, this KGB chairman is really? Very rare frankness, simply frank and terrible, even the ethnic minorities in their own country are reasonable alternatives.

"I'm just talking about Afghanistan, how to use the relationship between these ethnic groups to achieve the goal of establishing a unified government, with the current basic conditions in Afghanistan, it is very difficult to solve it independently, and if you want to increase the success rate, there is only one way, to reorganize the armament and transfer the contradictions abroad." Serov said coldly, "In other words, Pakistan must be attacked." ”

"Attack Pakistan? But Pakistan is stronger than us, and its population is larger than ours. Amin was stunned for a moment and then smiled gently, "Comrade Serov, so much foreshadowing is just to let Afghanistan attack Pakistan and get rid of this pro-sister country, by the way, China's current relationship with the United States seems to be getting more and more harmonious, does the Soviet Union want to pick a pro-American country to knock it?" The idea is good, but using Afghanistan as a gun is not in line with the friendly relations between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan. ”

Many people think that China is currently at war with Vietnam, which is a great disrespect to the Soviet Union, and this kind of rhetoric abounds within the socialist camp, so it is not difficult to understand that the Soviet Union wants to seek a breakthrough from another place.

However, as Amin said, Afghanistan is no match for Pakistan in terms of population and area, and it is difficult to attack Pakistan with the strength of Afghanistan itself, so why risk being a pioneer for the Soviet Union?

"Isn't that good for Afghanistan? You must know that because of the Durand Line issue, Pakistan has occupied more than 100,000 lands in Afghanistan, and wherever they live, they are all the main ethnic groups of Afghanistan, and half of the population of the main ethnic group of one country is under the rule of another country, which is a huge insult to the leaders of any country. But Comrade Amin doesn't seem to care! Serov's eyelids rolled and he looked at each other with a look of intent.

This time it was Amin's turn to be silent, he did not know that half of his people were under Pakistani rule, which, as Serov said, would be a great shame for any leader. Moreover, there are voices in Afghanistan itself that want to regain territory, especially among Amin's own people, the Pashtuns, the main ethnic group in Afghanistan, this voice of retaking territory is the strongest.

Due to the problem of the British Empire's border demarcation, the Pashtuns were divided, the Pashtuns are not a minority, the Pashtuns occupy forty percent of the population of Afghanistan, and are the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan, not only that, but the Pashtun language is also the official language of Afghanistan, and the modern state of Afghanistan is also built by the Pashtuns.

You must know that the Russian Empire, which left a strong impression of expansion, in its expansion policy towards its neighbors, also selected the corners of the minority areas to occupy, either not swallowing them, or eating the entire nation in one bite. The method of demarcation of the border by the British was completely shocking. It is hard to believe that when the borders are drawn, they dare to hurt the main ethnic group of a country. Divide the region where the main ethnic group of a sovereign state lives in two halves. It may be possible for countries with colonial policies to do this, and the British mainland is an island and is not afraid of backlash. The problems that remain are entirely borne by Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Amin, who has become the No. 2 person in Afghanistan, usually doesn't want to do this problem, because he still has a lot of things to solve, but now Serov's remarks directly exposing the scar made Amin silent, and that heart-rending feeling swallowed his entire body.

"It seems that you haven't forgotten the existence of the Durand Line, even Daoud doesn't dare to be weak on this issue, if you don't solve the problem of the Durand Line, Afghanistan will always be divided, you must know that the current population of Afghanistan's main ethnic group is less than half, and the total population proportion is not enough to implement great nationalism, and if you want to give benefits to ethnic minorities for ethnic equality, the bearing capacity is not enough, this is a dead knot that cannot be untied." Serov walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "A capable leader, when you encounter this kind of mess, you don't know how to start for a while, right?" ”

Amin is not a weak-willed person, absolutely not. But the issue of the Durand Line is like a spell that wraps around every Afghan leader. Serov, of course, knew this, and later generations of Afghanistan, which had close ties with Pakistan's bases, did not dare to declare that they would abandon the Durand Line on this issue, no matter how much Pakistan coerced and lured. Not to mention the fact that Afghanistan and Pakistan are now pro-Soviet and pro-American.

"Afghanistan is no match for Pakistan, and that will pull our country into the abyss." It took a long time for Amin to get rid of the painful feeling, and said in a heavy and painful tone, "We can't beat them, their military strength is stronger than ours." ”

"Military? The entire Warsaw Pact has 95,000 tanks, 45,000 armored vehicles, and our five major tank bases do not need to start work at full strength, and they can arm a China every year. You tell me that the military is insufficient, and if you open the world map, will any pro-Soviet country say that it is not strong enough military? Egypt, Iraq, Syria, allies of the Soviet Union in the Middle East, more than 8,000 tanks, a million troops. Southeast Asia's Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Indonesia add up to two million troops. Today you are telling me that Afghanistan is not strong enough military? Yes, among the friendly countries of the Soviet Union, Afghanistan's army in the early 100,000s is indeed relatively weak, as if it is only stronger than Angola and South Yemen, and about the same as Sudan and Ethiopia. Serov's tone was not arrogant, but the content of his mouth was arrogant enough.

In the military academies of the Soviet Union, there were military cadets of all colors and civilizations, and guerrillas from dozens of countries and hundreds of regions on five continents. The Soviet Union's military-industrial complex supported the combat effectiveness of the armies of dozens of countries, including the army, navy and air force, from tanks to warships to fighter jets, surface-to-air missiles, and ballistic missiles.

In all the hot spots, there are Soviet-backed armed forces, some of which have successfully seized power, and some are still persistently resisting, and today's Soviet Union has almost completely non-existent light industry, and all of them have been transferred to Eastern Europe and other allies to concentrate on the development of heavy industry and agriculture.

As of this year, the Soviet Union has outnumbered the United States by 30,000 to 23,000 in terms of nuclear warheads, and has established a comparative advantage over the United States in terms of the number of nuclear weapons. For two years, the Soviet Union was consolidating the regions that had been digested so far. Every year, the KGB sends tens of thousands of cadres abroad to guide the elimination of the best experience and exterminate the local anti-Soviet forces.

Amin also knew that the intelligence services of Afghanistan, which had been taught by the KGB of the Soviet Union, had played a huge role in cleaning up the resistance in various places. However, he was still unsure about Pakistan and tentatively asked, "How many weapons can the Soviet Union provide as support for Afghanistan?" ”

"After the end of the Turkish War, the Soviet Union disarmed 150,000, and the remaining equipment was sold to the Middle East, but it can still arm 100,000 soldiers in storage, and there are currently about 140,000 Afghan soldiers, plus the weapons I gave you are 240,000, I can help you expand the army to 300,000." Serov said indifferently, "This does not require the Soviet Union to increase production capacity." ”

"But Pakistan has 600,000 troops, and 300,000 troops are only half of Pakistan's." Amin shook his head and said, "If Afghanistan and Pakistan go to war like this, we still can't win." Even if the Afghans revolt help us to attack, the chances of victory are not great. ”

"If you expand your army to 500,000, everybody knows you're going to attack Pakistan. Tripling the army in the name of a domestic rebellion is the greatest limit. Serov dismissed Amin's request, saying, "And I'm not prepared for Afghanistan to fight alone." ”

"Can the Soviet Union form a coalition with Afghanistan?" Ah Ming's eyes lit up and he asked in disbelief, whether this kind of idea was too international, which made him a little unbelievable.

"Don't get me wrong, we can send a large-scale military advisory team to help Afghanistan stabilize the country, but we can't do it ourselves, otherwise the war will definitely become prolonged if the Americans take action. The relations between the USSR and the Americans were mutually watchful, and the decisive force was your friends in Afghanistan, the Indians. Serov denied the possibility of sending troops directly.

Relations between Afghanistan and India have always been very good, as both countries have territorial disputes with Pakistan.

"Did we do it first, and India went to war from the south to support us? Amin touched his chin and began to deduce how much success rate and how many losses there would be once the war started. The Arab-Indian alliance sounds good. (To be continued.) )
