Chapter 991: Mediation

readx;

Yured went out, and Qusay looked at the large-scale military map on the wall, still in thought. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}

On the surface, this incident has little to do with Iraq, but Qusay always feels that in the future, an Afghanistan in turmoil is not in Iraq's interests.

Now, the Taliban organization that called for wind and rain in later generations has not officially entered the sight of the white spoon, and if he starts to lay out in Afghanistan now, he should have many opportunities.

Thinking about this, it is still a bit much, and what is needed now is how to deal with the problems of the Soviet Union and Pakistan.

If the Soviet Union and Pakistan really fight to the death, then it will be of little benefit to both sides. There was no ultimate conflict of interest between Pakistan and the Soviet Union, it was just an unexpected incident, the two sides had been engaged in border friction for several years, but there has been no fight, because both sides are more restrained, but this time, it is clear that the situation is somewhat out of control.

For Pakistan, what they need to guard against, the focus is on India behind them, Pakistan and India, are mortal enemies, if they see Pakistan on the Western Front, it is not difficult to ensure that India will have new ideas. {{}}

Kashmir has always been a powder keg.

As for the Soviet Union, what the Soviet Union needs now is to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, and the Soviet Union simply has no money to continue to invest in that bottomless pit, so ending the war between the two sides is the most reasonable plan.

It's just that those who are muddying the water in the back, and Qusay also knows that the water is very deep, and those who are in the back are the ones who really grasp the power of the Soviet Union, and they control these key departments, and in this kind of thing, they are against Gorbachev.

How, then, would Gorbachev pick up the trick and throw out his theory of new thinking, thus starting a wave of ideological errors?

Perhaps, Iraq will mediate and let the two sides end this dispute? The idea popped into Cusai's head. {{}}

......... "What is going on with this incident?" Gorbachev stared at Defense Minister General Yazov in front of him, and he still trusted this person he had personally pulled up, but he was very annoyed by the current tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

In fact, before and after analyzing the whole incident, Yazov was already able to guess the general situation, it must have been a deliberate action, and the whole incident had too much flavor of being a director.

However, can he say that it was a small move taken because of the decision of the general secretary to withdraw troops? Last time, because at the meeting at which Gorbachev was going to withdraw troops, Yazov did not say a word, and he had already let many members of the military say that he was weak behind his back, and this time, if he told the general secretary about his inference, there would definitely be a group of people who were unlucky, and those who were dissatisfied with him would be even more serious.

Yazov knew that although he became the Minister of Defense, he was not able to call for wind and rain, and behind the scenes, some hidden forces were still able to exert great influence on this army, and they were able to recruit some middle-level members of the military, which was already a huge network of relationships. {{}}

Will it be able to break it? Yazov knew that his energy was not enough.

"Judging from this incident, the possibility of misunderstanding is greater." Yazov said: "Although we often fly in the border areas of Afghanistan, sometimes there is some friction with the Pakistan Air Force, but there has not been a fierce confrontation, the cause of this incident is that an An-26 transport plane was shot down by the Pakistan Air Force, it is very likely that our plane got lost and entered Pakistani airspace, because now, the wreckage of the plane announced by Pakistan is all in Pakistan area." However, if more than 30 crew members on board are innocently killed, relations between the air forces of the two sides will immediately be strained, and both sides will take off fighter planes and go on cruises, and there will be no specific line in the air, so the incident of flying over the other side's airspace will happen inadvertently, and as a result, it is possible for the two sides to have an air confrontation. ”

Gorbachev's disadvantage was that he had never served in the army, so he was not familiar with these things at all, and under Yazov's description, this time it turned out to be an accidental event. There was some misunderstanding between the two sides, and then the rifle and the fire intensified, and that's it.

According to the attitude of the previous general secretary, the Soviet Union was strong, and even if it was the fault of the Soviet Union, it must be said that it was the fault of the other side, and moreover, it was necessary to find enough face to do so, and the Soviet Union would absolutely not suffer a loss.

However, as for the newly appointed general secretary, he always liked to say that he wanted to carry out reforms, and as a result, the economic reforms did not see results, and the glory of the army was first lost.

So, Yazov only tried his best to explain the cause of the incident to Gorbachev, but he did not give advice on how to deal with the current problem.

Although, from Yazov's own thoughts, since Pakistan dares to shoot down its own fighters, then it is necessary to let Pakistan know that there is a price to be paid for going against the Soviet Air Force. Moreover, to strike at the Pakistani Air Force is to tell the United States not to fight the idea of Afghanistan!

Obviously, however, General Secretary Gorbachev absolutely did not want this incident to make a big fuss. {{}}

"Really? So, in this case, we need to have a communication to avoid this kind of thing from happening again and affecting our white spoon withdrawal plan. Gorbachev said.

"General Secretary," at this time, Yazov finally began to put forward his opinion: "In the present situation, if we are still proceeding to withdraw our troops, it will show that we are weak, and it will be very detrimental to the maintenance of our military morale, even if we want to withdraw our troops, we must only withdraw our troops after gaining an advantage over Pakistan, otherwise, the military will show weakness to the outside world, and the image of our Soviet Union will only have a counterproductive effect." ”

"Really?" At this time, Gorbachev looked at Yazov, and he looked at Yazov intently.

Yazov was stared at for dozens of seconds, and finally spoke: "General Secretary, you must know that only by gaining the support of the middle and lower echelons of the military can it be regarded as truly gaining the support of the military, not that if the Minister of Defense is changed, the army will be mastered, and if we come back like this, I am afraid that a large number of military members will be dissatisfied." ”

"I only know that the army must be subordinated to the interests of the state, and the army must be subordinated to the construction of our country. Gorbachev said: "If we had not started the war in Afghanistan by mistake, then the situation in our country would not have deteriorated to the way it is now. Now that the people have to wait in line for an hour to buy bread, what is the use of building more planes and missiles and occupying more land? The people will be dissatisfied with their white spoon status quo! We invested tens of billions of rubles, just for a false name? For a dream of hegemony? We have lost tens of thousands of soldiers, so what's the use? You say, when we can't solve the problems of the people's lives in our country, is it useful to compete for world domination? ”

Hearing this, Yazov finally spoke: "Yes, General Secretary, the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan is our right choice. ”

"Then find a way to solve the current problem." "We can't let the situation escalate, we want to settle this dispute peacefully," Gorbachev said. ”

Settle peacefully, however, not to let the Soviet military lose face, this is not an easy choice, if the Soviet Union is directly sent in the past, then, it is bowed, this is not possible, however, to find a middle to talk, it is a good choice.

Who are you looking for in the middle? This entry, must have a good relationship with the Soviet Union and Pakistan, Yazov turned in his mind, and remembered an entry, let Qusay-Abdullah go, is the most suitable, this entry, and the relationship with the Soviet Union is very good, ordered a large number of arms from the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet Union's military industrial enterprises have been developing steadily, if he did not order a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, then the Varyag on the slipway, maybe it has been stopped by the general secretary, and, when the nuclear power plant fails, It was Iraq's friendship and selfless assistance that enabled the aftermath of the nuclear power plant to be completed quickly and efficiently, without a worse situation.

As for Pakistan, both sides are in the Iran-Ran world, and they have many things in common with each other, and the relationship between the two sides is also very good, for example, the Pakistan Air Force is equipped with Super Seven fighters, which are imported from Iraq, and this kind of fighter has made its own Air Force suffer.

Who would have thought that Iraq would have done better than the Soviet Union in some areas? The equipment that Iraq imported from the Soviet Union was all that Iraq could not produce itself, but the fact that it cannot produce it now does not mean that it will not be able to produce it in the future, and Iraq has always been catching up and surpassing.

"We can go to Qusay-Abdullah in Iraq to complete a peaceful resolution of this incident." "We have to make the white spoon military think that it was the Pakistani side that first sent us the sincerity of peace, and they need to apologize to us," Yazov said. ”

Looking for Cusay? Gorbachev remembered that the young man from the Middle East, yes, he was a very good candidate!

"This matter, go and do it immediately, let our White Spoon Air Force be more restrained, and stop patrolling close to the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan." Gorbachev said: "If something like this happens again, then let General Gromov immediately roll back to Moscow." ”
