The place where Colonel Bond of the United Kingdom, Colonel Rothenburg of Germany and Colonel Gingrich of the United States met separately was the best Royal Hotel in Kabul. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Rothenburg and his German GIs were frequent customers here, and Rothenburg himself was familiar with the Indian manager of the hotel, and after the latter greeted him, he chartered the terrace restaurant on the top floor of the hotel overlooking the streets of Kabul, where the meeting was held.

"Let's talk in English." Colonel Rothenburg knew that he was not very fluent in German and that the Germans might not understand it, so he suggested that everyone speak English.

"Okay."

"It's better to speak English."

Both Colonel Bond and Colonel Gingrich nodded reservedly in agreement.

"So let's first define today the principles of cooperation between Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom in Afghanistan." Colonel Rothenburg was much older than the other two, and he also paid for the dollar for the terrace restaurant, so he consciously played the big brother of the three.

"The contradictions between our three countries outside Afghanistan cannot be brought to Afghanistan." Colonel Rothenburg spoke American English and smoked a corncob pipe with the finest Cuban tobacco. "Because none of us wants the Soviets to take full control of Afghanistan and then march from Afghanistan to India, do we?"

"Of course." Colonel Bond nodded, then glanced at Colonel Gingrich, who looked more like a reactive English gentleman than himself.

"I agree." Colonel Gingrich had an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care much whether Stalin's Red Army would liberate the Indian people.

"Okay, that's good!" Colonel Rothenburg nodded in satisfaction. This is a good start, and if the British, American, and German spies in Afghanistan fight to the death, things will be difficult to do.

"And we should be working together, right?" Rothenburg took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "The situation in Afghanistan is very critical right now, the Soviets have committed 200,000 troops, and they are also supported by the Uzbeks and Tajiks in northern Afghanistan. So we have to step up our aid, we have to give more weapons to the Afghans...... German, American and British weapons. And to do that, we have to work together and get to know each other. ”

Colonel Bond and Colonel Gingrich also nodded their heads. Britain, the United States and Germany have given Afghans less than 20,000 guns of various kinds, as well as a small amount of light artillery. These weapons may be able to arm 2 lite infantry divisions, but in the face of the attack of 15 Soviet divisions, it is obviously not enough. Not only is it not enough to fight regular warfare, but even guerrilla warfare is not enough.

Since it is not enough, it is necessary to increase the intensity of assistance, and if it is necessary to provide vigorous assistance, trouble will come. Because Colonel Rottemberg from the United States did not have much German ammunition in his hands, and there was no very smooth channel to get weapons into Afghanistan. Although Colonel Gingrich from Britain has a lot of American arms in his hands that can be used to support Afghanistan, he should not block other forces willing to block the Soviet Union's conquest of Afghanistan, otherwise if the Soviet Union sees through the truth, the villains will be done by Britain. As for James in Germany . Colonel Bond, although not short of British munitions, but how to transport these munitions into Afghanistan is a headache for him. Airlift is one way, but the cost is too high, and the distance is too far, and the efficiency of transportation is really not high.

Seeing that Colonel Bond and Colonel Gingrich agreed with him, Colonel Rothenburg smiled and proposed, "How about we arrange a meeting once a week from now on, and we can discuss the issue of communication in person?" ”

Bond and Gingrich didn't have any opinions, and the weekly three-way meeting was set.

And then James. Bond said again: "In the current situation, Kandahar and Kabul will fall in 1-2 months, unless we British directly send troops ......"

"It's impossible, it's impossible for your British Empire to go to war with the Soviet Union." Colonel Gingrich replied in the negative.

"Then we can only do guerrilla warfare," said James. "The Afghan government must also leave Kabul...... How about going to Peshawar in India? ”

Colonel Gingrich shook his head and said, "No, you can only go to the Panjshir Valley, which is close to the mountains of Kashmir and the terrain is very difficult and easy to hide. ”

Located northeast of Kabul and part of the Hinduku mountain range, the Panjshir Valley is high and deep and inhabited by many tribes who know only Allah and the tribes, not Marx and the Soviet Union. In addition, the altitude of the area is very high, and the climate is very cold in winter, and heavy snow will block the mountain roads, making it difficult to pass. It was a good place to act as a counter-revolutionary base.

"Is it possible to build an airfield there?" Colonel Rothenburg of Germany asked.

"It's not easy, it's not easy for your German weapons and equipment to be transported there." "Your planes can take off from Iran and drop arms into the mountains of central Afghanistan," Colonel Gingrich said. ”

"Colonel Bond," Colonel Rothenburg asked James as he took two puffs of his cigarette. Colonel Bond, "Do you think we can airdrop weapons and ammunition?" ”

"This ......" is under the pseudonym James Brown. Bond's Val T. Schellenberg thought for a moment, and then asked, "So can our British weapons and ammunition be transported into Afghanistan through Balochistan?" ”

Balochistan is also a lawless place where only Allah and tribes are known, and there is no country. It's about the depths of a mountain ravine in southeastern Iran, southern Afghanistan, and west of the Indus Valley. The total area is larger than Afghanistan, there is basically no government governance, and the practice is tribal politics, which the British began to enter 100 years ago and now has a certain foundation.

"I think so," replied Colonel Gingrich, "but a part of the weapons and ammunition must be paid to the tribes there...... Of course, they wouldn't want that bomb vest. ”

"Ah, Colonel Gingrich, I remembered you mentioned the bomb vests, and we need to run some guerrilla warfare training classes."

James. At this time, Bond suddenly proposed to start a class. "I believe there must be many people in Afghanistan who are willing to fight for the tribe and Allah, but they don't know how to resist a strong opponent like the Soviet Red Army, and we need to teach them more effective tactics and combat skills," he said. ”

Of course, YSL Saint Seiya also needs to be trained, although the tribal warriors of Afghanistan have long honed their combat skills in the harsh environment. But this time they were not facing an ordinary enemy, but the strongest Bolshevik Red regime in the history of mankind, and the Bolsheviks led by Stalin, the father leader.

Long before the Red Army marched into Afghanistan, Stalin recognized the danger of the reactionary forces in Afghanistan and ordered a group of young Bolshevik cadres from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan who were proficient in Uzbek and Tajik to enter Afghanistan with the Soviet Red Army.

Their task is to help the Afghans to progress, first and foremost, of course, the Uzbeks and Tajiks in Afghanistan.

In northern Afghanistan, where ethnic Uzbeks and Tajiks live in large numbers, many schools for training revolutionary cadres have now been hastily erected. A large number of young people from the poor middle peasants of the Uzbek and Tajik ethnic groups, who have been oppressed for a long time, have been recruited into these schools and trained to turn around and become masters.

"Comrade Stalin, the South Asia Bureau has so far established 15 cadre schools in Afghanistan, where more than 1,100 Uzbek and Tajik progressive youths are being trained......"

Inside the Kremlin, the General Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Third International, Georgi. Dimitrov was reporting to Stalin - this seems to be a bit of a reversal of the hierarchy, since the Soviet Bolshevik Party was theoretically a section of the Third International, and therefore Dimitrov should have been Stalin's superior. However, since the founding of the Third International, the "Soviet Bolshevik Party" has been a supreme party.

So Stalin, the head of the section of the Third International, could have ordered the boss of the Third International to do things. And helping Afghanistan to build a proletariat **** was the task that Stalin gave to the Third International.

In Afghanistan, Dimitrov's method was to start a study for revolutionary cadres, recruiting many poor young people of Uzbek and Tajik ethnicity who could not read a few words, and letting the cadres in the Soviet Union who could speak Uzbek and Tajik to teach the revolutionary truth.

"Only 1,100 people?" Stalin smoked his carved pipe and looked dissatisfied. "Isn't it a little less?"

"Comrade Stalin," Dimitrov said, spreading his hands, "we don't have so many teachers, and most of those Afghan youth are uneducated, and it is difficult for them to understand the truth of GCISM......"

"What does this have to do with education?" Stalin waved his hand and said, "As long as those people can help us fight the feudal forces in Afghanistan, it is better not to be educated in reactionary forces!" ”

"But the truth of GCISM ......," Dimitrov said with embarrassment.

"What's the truth?" Stalin raised his eyebrows, "Willing to follow the party and dare to fight against the reactionary feudal superstitious forces in Afghanistan is the last word!" ”

Stalin himself was in charge of the national work of the Soviet Union, and of course knew that those compatriots who believed in Allah were not easy to deal with, and he also knew the importance of eradicating feudal superstition.

Stalin added: "Tell the South Asia Bureau not to ask too much, that will detach us from the masses." The training of local cadres in Afghanistan must be accelerated, and 30,000 people will be given to me within 3 months! In addition, the Afghan People's Party, the People's Army, and the Government of the Afghan People's Republic should also be formed as soon as possible, and the leaders of the Afghan Party, government, and army could first appoint Uzbek and Tajik cadres with Soviet nationality to the post.
