Chapter 815: Make Afghanistan Rich

The British seemed to be holding their breath and were silent. Just when the whole world thought that China and Britain would fight for a while, there was a conflict in Afghanistan, Habibullah's younger brother Nashrula Qinwang stood up and publicly demanded that Habibullah step down, Habibullah's adventurous policies and political tendencies jeopardized the interests and sovereignty of the entire Afghan Kingdom, and when China stood up for Nashrulah, the British fell silent.

At this time, the talents of the whole world suddenly realized that the previous 'silence' of the British was not a refusal to admit defeat, but an admission of defeat!

After seeing this, China immediately accelerated its 'operation' in Afghanistan, insisting on not abdicating in Habibullah, and even on the premise that this abdication was based on the succession of his son Amanullah, and also used force to arrest Nashrula, Nashrullah immediately fled to Jalalabad, where with the support of the local feudal forces and the support of China, called himself the emir!

The Afghan civil war has broken out!

No one will win the final victory for Habibullah, and Nashrullah Khan has a huge China behind him. He quickly assembled an army of more than 5,000 men in Jalalabad, paid high salaries, armed with Chinese guns, and commanded by Chinese instructors and advisers. This army can only be regarded as the worst militia by the standards of the Chinese Defense Forces. However, in the Afghan civil war, the performance was excellent, winning the first two battles, and eliminating the direct threat of the king's army to Jalalabad in just one month.

But if you want to counterattack Kabul, it is not enough to rely on 5,000 men.

"If you want to defeat Habrabi in the short term, your honourable Great Khan, you have to work closely with Young Afghanistan. Don't worry about the opposition of those nobles and religious leaders. How you have always had such a mentality, even if it was not long before you finally ascended to the throne of Afghanistan. You will also only become a puppet in the hands of nobles and religious leaders.

A qualified politician will not mind fighting between the political forces under his command. Because their struggle means that the supreme power of balance and adjudication is yours personally. On the contrary, it is the people under him who are ironclad, which will make the superior a real headache. "Ma Tianli, China's ambassador to Jalalabad, is trying to convince Nashrulabad in front of him.

Everyone knows that Green Christians are not popular in Chinese politics, and Ma Tianli, as a Green Christian, can climb to the position of ambassador abroad, in addition to the religious background of Afghanistan, his personal ability is also unquestionable. Before becoming ambassador to Jalalabad, Ma Tianli was the director of the Religious Affairs Bureau in Saihai Province [a large area of land west of the Caspian Sea]. He is also the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs. Now it's a step up again!

Having dealt with religious leaders and tribal nobles in Central Asia for a long time, Ma Tianli was well aware of the ignorance of these people. In the whole of Afghanistan, he admired Mahmoud the most. Berg. Tagil, the founder of Young Afghanistan, since Mahmud. Berg. Tagil told the truth that the traditional education of the Green Religion is not knowledge, and knowledge must include modern natural and social sciences.

This sentence made Ma Tianli a confidant of Tagil. It's a pity that he panicked, how can such a person with no defects in brains, ideas, and talents be Afghans, and not Kazakhs, Tajiks, and Uzbeks? If he is in China's officialdom, he will definitely be a high-level talent and power in Central Asia and King Liang, which is in great need!

Mahmod. Berg. Tagil is forty-two years old. Born in Ghazni, Afghanistan, to an aristocratic family. Father Gulam. Muhammad was a prominent figure in the aristocratic regime of Adam Khan, known for his calligraphy, painting, and poetry. Tagil was the pen name he used to publish his poems, which later became the name of his son, Mahmud. Berg. Tagil's name too. In 1884, Ghulam lost the struggle for power of the Afghan aristocracy. He was forced into exile, first in Iran and then in Syria.

In Syria, Tagil received a rigorous education. He has mastered a variety of foreign languages and has shown great talent in poetry writing. As he grew older and more experienced, Tagil became more influenced by the Young Turks. I started to care about social issues. His interest in poetry also began to turn to political essays. In his first book "Travels on the Three Continents", he used smooth and touching writing to express his love for the mountains and rivers of the motherland; The reasons for Afghanistan's backwardness are explored. This book occupies an important place in the formation of Tagil's thought.

Year 1892. Twenty-seven-year-old Tagil is married to a Syrian girl.

In 1901, Tagil learned that his father's political rival, Abdul. When King Rahman died, he decided to return to his homeland. In 1903, he came to Kabul. The new king of Afghanistan at that time was none other than Habibullah. After taking office, Habibullah Khan began to learn from the West and tried to change the situation of Afghanistan's isolation and backwardness, which was exactly in line with Tagil's wishes. Therefore, he repeatedly suggested to Habibullah Khan that he should absorb the ideas and advanced technology of the dish to reform the internal affairs of Afghanistan and accelerate the secularization of Afghanistan. Under the influence of Tagil, Habibullah Khan really began to carry out some modernizations, such as installing telephones, building radio stations, building bridges, etc. Tagil was also appointed director of the State Translation Bureau, responsible for introducing progressive ideas and science and technology imported from abroad, and became one of the king's main advisers on reforms. However, the main interest of Habibullah Khan's reforms was placed within the court, and a large amount of very limited funds were wasted on the "modernization" of the royal family's food, clothing, housing, and transportation. This made Tagil feel that it was not enough to rely on the king alone to implement reforms, and he began to use his position as director of the translation bureau to carry out a wide range of enlightenment propaganda among the Afghan people.

In 1905, Tagil founded the magazine "Bright News" and served as its editor-in-chief. In this journal, Tagil published a large number of editorials and opinion pieces, arousing the patriotic spirit and national pride of the Afghan people, attacking the aggressive policies of the British imperialist countries, and demanding the complete independence of Afghanistan and the modernization of Afghanistan. There is also a considerable mention of China, but the sense of hostility is thin, because the Chinese military intelligence agency is behind the creation of the magazine by Tagil.

Tagil has been cautious in publicizing and commenting on political life in the country, keeping Bright News as a legitimate propaganda tool as much as possible. However, with the increasing corruption of Habibullah Khan's government and the mediocrity and lewdness of Habibullah Khan himself, Tagil criticized Habibullah Khan without naming him in several articles, which made Habibullah Khan very angry, and the relationship between the two suddenly became tense. Habibullah even claimed that if Tagil dared to attack the king again, he would seize the "Bright News" and sentence Tagil to death. Then the time came to the point of Anglo-Argentine contact, and then the "Bright News" was directly shut down for criticizing Habibullah Khan's foreign policy, and Habibullah did not do anything to Tagil himself. In the northwest region of India, in Central Asia, and in Persia, the "Bright News" will forever be recorded in the history of the Green Religion in the future, and this magazine has played an important role in disseminating and introducing modern scientific and cultural knowledge in the whole process of secularization of the Green Religion in Central Asia.

Tagil's years of efforts in Afghanistan have brought around him a large number of people with lofty ideals who are determined to change the face of poverty and backwardness in Afghanistan. Liu Xian does not want Afghanistan to remain a hotbed of 'extremist' groups in a hundred years, but to change this, it is better to make Afghanistan rich than to use the bloody method of 'killing' and eradicating religious forces. Although Afghanistan does not have oil in the Middle East, it itself is a miracle of the world's metal mineral reserves, and the entire Afghan territory is buried with metal resources that make the whole world tremble!

As long as Afghanistan embarks on the road of exploitation and utilization, even if it sells ore, it will make Afghanistan from a poor and remote country to a rich oil.

And as long as Afghanistan becomes rich, there will be no hotbed for extremism. Just like the group of rich people in the Middle East in later generations, many of them also support extremist ideas, but at most they use money and spirit, except for pulling lamps, they have no armor to go into battle.

And why is the extremism and organization in Afghanistan a headache for countries around the world, and is it not because of the complex geography of Afghanistan? If you change to another place, you can push it down with a bang as long as you make up your mind. The hazard is not at all on the same level. Not to mention the geographical location of Afghanistan is so important.

This land as a whole is located at the intersection of West Asia, South Asia and Central Asia, belongs to the Central Asian countries, connects the East and the West, connects Central Asia, West Asia and South Asia, and has long been called the "key" to the South Asian continent in history, and its strategic position is very important.

A large part of India's many foreign invasions in history have been from Afghanistan or through Afghan soil! Its geographical advantages have been confirmed by thousands of years. This is also the reason why the British have repeatedly aspired to dominate Afghanistan.

Nashrallah is not a very talented person, and the words 'ambitious and talented' are the most appropriate to describe him. But Zhida's talent is not equal to brain-dead, and what Ma Tianli said is very reasonable. And Nashrullah prides himself on having the support of China, and the nobles and religious leaders of Jalalabad do not dare to really lift the table, no matter how much they oppose it. He had an elite guard of 100 Chinese soldiers and 200 Afghans by his side, and the Chinese embassy not far from his palace was also a hundred Chinese soldiers. This force will at least keep him safe!

The worst-case scenario is to lose the support of the local forces in Jalalabad, but Nashrula still has Chinese behind him, with money, guns and cannons, and it will not take long to pull out an army that has not been weak after running out. What else is he afraid of?

The people in high positions are not afraid of chaos among the people below, but they are afraid ......that the people below are monolithic, and the nobles and religious leaders of Jalalabad are not monolithic.

"Puppet!"

"Furnishings!"

"Balance and ruling!"

Words were tumbling in Nashrula's head, and Ma Tianli looked at Nashrula, whose face was gradually becoming stern, and laughed in his heart. (To be continued.) )
