In the wee hours of the morning, the silence of the Kremlin was broken by the rapid ringing of the telephone, and Comrade Stalin picked up the phone wrapped in his pajamas, his face slowly gloomy.

Kabul is lost!

The news was so unexpected that it could be said that there was no warning. This made him faintly regret the purge of the intelligence department, you must know that the defection of Ivanmir and Kuibyshev made him carry out an unprecedented purge of the intelligence department and the secret police and internal affairs forces around him, so it extended his distrust of various departments, and the number of people related to intelligence who he signed and shot alone was as high as 150,000! Because of this, the intelligence network that has taken more than ten years to cultivate has been paralyzed, and Yezhov is keen on power after coming to power, and he is not working as steadily as Ivanmir, resulting in him now being like suffering from cataracts, and he can only see the light of the outside world, but he can't see clearly.

But even if there is only a bright light, he knows the important surnames of Afghanistan. Now it's time to drop Kabul, what about later? Kunduz, Kandahar and crucially Herat! In order to control Afghanistan, he ordered the widening of the roads from Herat to Kunduz and Kabul, and now these roads are now accessible to trucks, which can make it easier for the Soviet army to move, but he didn't expect Kabul to be lost! If the Chinese [***] team intervenes, they can use these roads to quickly move south to Iran and open up the China-Persian Gulf land route! Thinking of the heat between China and Germany during this time, even people like him felt a chill down their backs. Suppose there is a secret deal between China and Germany, will this be a harbinger?

This assumption really made him break out in a cold sweat! The loss of Afghanistan is equivalent to the loss of the strategic node of the south, and it is a far heavier blow to Moscow, which has always wanted to push GC International to the world and launch a revolutionary movement with the surname of the world, than the defeat of Spain! If Iran is lost again because of this, everything from the Caucasus to the Caspian Sea will be surrounded! Plus Turkey, supported by Britain and France, deliberately connived at Italy and Germany.

A chilling picture slowly emerged from his mind.

"Based on what is currently available, it is believed that the Chinese Aerospace Forces were involved in the military operation in Kabul and provided air transport for the rebels in the north, as well as 40 bombers and about 80 combat aircraft to provide air cover. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Amanullah has been arrested, and the Afghan army is facing a situation of fragmentation. Although our pilots deployed in Kunduz, Kabul and other places tried their best to resist, many comrades still died. ”

Three hours later, at a military meeting of the Kremlin's Politburo, the Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, Marshal Voroshilov, briefed the commissioners on the situation in Kabul. But he did not dare to say that his plane lost the airfield without even making a take-off reaction, and could only beautify the enemy's attack that suddenly caused it to have no time to react, and the heroic Soviet pilots did their best to spill blood in the sky.

The sight of only a handful of people, including Kalinin and Motolov, in the empty conference room, sent chills down the hearts of the participants as they worried about the situation in Afghanistan. However, Stalin ignored this "emptiness" and would not admit that he had done wrong, even if he secretly regretted it in his heart. Kalinin, one of the few people who did not have to worry about being purged, looked at the distance on the map that was more than a hundred kilometers deep, and asked in a deep voice: "Comrade Marshal Voroshilov, how did the rebels enter Kabul?" ”

This question everyone wants to know, is it a dereliction of duty or a deliberate defection to the enemy? Otherwise, how could a depth of more than 100 kilometers without even a little warning? Even if the plane flies over, the noisy engine sound will definitely alarm the garrison troops. Voroshilov, whose back was covered with sweat, said in a low voice: "Comrade Chairman, it was the enemy who first took control of the airfield, and then increased troops to Kabul by plane. ”

"Dereliction of duty! This is a gross dereliction of duty! Comrade Yezhov, didn't you get a little bit of information before? Could it be that both our aviation and the army are asleep? Motorov was unhappy with such an explanation.

Yezhov, who finally had the opportunity to attend the Politburo meeting, was full of cold sweat in his head, hated Motolov to death in his heart, and secretly wondered if he would find an opportunity to get some evidence to "clean" him too. Stalin was also very angry, the intelligence department did not react at all to such an important matter, which shows how much it has been eroded! You must know that with so many aircraft assembled and such a large number of troops mobilized, some flaws will be exposed. But he didn't want to discuss this now, the fire of the pipe flickered on and off, and his words were very slow: "The question of Comrade Yezhov will be discussed later, the important thing now is Afghanistan!" China's dispatch of troops to help the Afghan rebels is a premeditated military operation! Just like what Germany and Italy did in Spain, a crime against our GC revolutionaries! It is a sin that strangles the great Soviets. Afghanistan is the birthplace of the vast proletarian revolution in Central Asia, and now it is facing loss, which will pose a serious threat to the cause of GCISM in Central Asia, India and Arabia! So the question now is, what are we going to do, how are we going to break the blockade and the stiflation? ”

In a word, it was equivalent to pronouncing Yezhov's death sentence, which frightened the latter so much that his face was pale and trembling, and he couldn't even speak. The people next to him were secretly happy! "The time for the death of this vicious dog has finally arrived!" If it weren't for the fact that we were talking about a major event related to the survival of the Soviet Union in Central Asia, I am afraid that some people would have applauded and celebrated. But the next two inquiries also made everyone a little stunned, because since the expulsion of Tonotsky, Stalin has rarely asked for the following opinions. The fact that everyone is now being asked for their opinions on Afghanistan shows that the situation is indeed very serious.

"General Secretary, my opinion is that there must be no compromise!" It was Shaposhnikov, one of the only three remaining generals in the army after the rebellion, and an officer capable of being promoted to marshal. He continued: "Afghanistan is different from Spain, and it is not only about the revolutionary cause, but also about the security of our country in Central Asia! The Arabs, the Iranians and the Chinese are colluding with each other, and if we lose Afghanistan, they will inevitably fall in full swing to China and Britain, and even the Caucasus will be threatened. So my opinion is to immediately send additional troops to Afghanistan and nip the rebels in the bud. ”

"But Amanullah has been arrested, and if we continue to send troops, will China also send an army?" Kalinin looked cautious.

Indeed, the arrest of Amanullah made Moscow very passive, and Stalin did not want to go to war with China and even world imperialism now, because the Second Five-Year Plan was slow and the Soviet Union was not fully prepared, otherwise he would not have been tied back to supporting the Spanish National Army. His original intention was to support Amanullah as a puppet and hide behind the scenes, but now it doesn't work.

The conference room suddenly fell silent, and everyone knew that if troops were sent, it would inevitably be an all-out confrontation between China and the Soviet Union. It is undoubtedly a fool's dream that a 4,000-kilometer-long front is impregnable, and once a full-scale war breaks out, it will inevitably be a battle for hegemony in Asia! Even Stalin did not dare to make a decision lightly, and after a long silence he spoke: "Comrades! This is the most serious national security threat since the establishment of the Soviets, and Afghanistan has a bearing on the success or failure of the revolutionary cause and the security of Central Asia, so we must thwart the imperialist conspiracy! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that Stalin already wanted to fight. Many people wanted to stop it, but when they saw Yezhov's pale face, they didn't dare to say anything more when it came to their mouths. Fortunately, Stalin did not have a fever in his head and continued to arrange: "Comrade Motorov, you must go and expose the Chinese conspiracy to the world as soon as possible, so that the proletariat of the whole country and the whole world can see clearly the face of imperialism." Comrade Voroshilov, the army must be ready and ready for a big battle! We must not allow the enemy to play with us, and if necessary, we can mobilize the forces of the whole country to the East, and we must tell every commander and soldier of the Red Army that we must dare to use armed forces to protect the Party and the state, to defend the cause of GC-ism, to have the courage to sacrifice, to defend the territorial integrity of the great Soviet with blood and life, and to thwart the enemy's plots. ”

After Stalin finished deploying the work in Afghanistan, his eyes swept Yezhov, who was sitting next to him, and he snorted coldly in his heart, and turned to Beria: "Comrade Beria, from now on, you will temporarily replace Comrade Yezhov's work, there are a large number of reformed reactionaries in Kazakh, Turkmenistan and other regions of Central Asia, so you must take your work seriously, their collusion will pose a serious threat to the frontiers, and any negligence is a crime against the Great Soviets." ”

Yezhov's pale face suddenly turned black, and he knew that he was completely finished this time!

While the Kremlin is rushing to deploy countermeasures, the situation in Afghanistan has sharply deteriorated for them!

On October 28, three days after Kabul changed hands, the Soviet and puppet armies that had returned from the Hindu Kush Mountains and Kunduz were routed, while the Kabul airport had taken off and landed more than 1,377 sorties, with a total of 1,102 tons of supplies and 30,000 soldiers being sent here.

On the 29th, Amanullah announced his surrender and abdication in Kabul, and Nadir Shah announced that he would succeed as the new king of Afghanistan, and promised the world that after the stability of the Afghan regime, a constitutional monarchy would be implemented, and the country would be handed over to the tribes and people to jointly govern. At the same time, he also announced an amnesty for the opposition and soldiers who were willing to lay down their arms without any accountability. Finally, he also announced that he would immediately visit Yanjing and seek help from friendly countries in China and even the world for the next step of restoring the country's economy and stability.

As soon as the news came out, Siye shook! Tens of thousands of troops loyal to Amanullah defected, the northern defensive line that had been held for nine years collapsed overnight, and the Soviet army fully retreated to Kunduz, Termez, Kandahar and Herat. The Afghan coalition under the personal command of Mei Sheng, led by Fei Wenhua and Park Eun-sung, broke through the Baghlan defense line in less than 24 hours, and regained the Hindu Kush defense line, known as the Kabul barrier.

By November 5, all but four areas where the Soviets were stationed had been liberated, and the tribes and local governments had sworn allegiance to the new king.
