Chapter 507: Reorganization of the Army
Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. In those years, the first troops of the Soviets, on transport planes, arrived directly in Kabul and quickly took control of the city.
The victory was so simple that the Soviets thought that Afghanistan was already in their pockets and that the strategy of going south to the Indian Ocean had seen the light of day.
It's a pity that for ten years, the original momentum has long been gone, and here has become the second Vietnam, in which the Soviets are deeply trapped and almost dragged down.
Despite the fierce fighting in the mountains, the city was almost able to be controlled by the Soviets and puppet government forces, so Kabul did not suffer much damage during the ten years of war. And now, Kabul has welcomed a new guest.
A convoy drove into Kabul, all of which were 8*8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, which looked similar to the BTR infantry fighting vehicles of the Soviets from the outside, but looking at the logo painted on the body, it was from the Free Afghan Army, and the noise of the engine was even less.
This infantry fighting vehicle is a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle developed on the off-road chassis based on Mercedes-Benz in Pakistan.
Although Osama was very bold and did not take the Pakistani-made Jetta car issued by the government, after all, it is not peaceful now, and if there is a sniper ambush along the way, they may suffer a dumb loss, and when the time comes, the puppet government will definitely not admit that they did it.
Riding in such a sturdy infantry fighting vehicle, moreover, it is all the same, and the sniper will not know which one they are riding in, and in the event of a situation, in addition to being able to drive on the road, but also to be able to quickly cross the road in the field. It's easy to run or fight, but not Jetta.
So, they are on this infantry fighting vehicle.
It's sturdy and durable, but it's not enough comfort. When she got out of the door, Dana's face turned pale.
"Dana, are you alright?" Osama asked Dana how much she cared for the rest of the group.
"It's fine." Dana said, "Let's go." ”
"Welcome to Kabul." At the entrance of the government building, the president of the puppet government, Najibullah, was already waiting here, looking at this mighty motorcade with complicated eyes.
"Kabul is our capital." "We were very happy to see the Soviets evacuate," Durrani said. We in Afghanistan will be united again as a prosperous, strong and democratic country. ”
Welcome? The Liberal Government is not a guest, and will soon be the master here!
"It's a pleasure to meet you." On Najibullah's side, Suakishtmande, chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, said that he was an old man in his fifties, smiling and shaking hands with everyone as if he were an old friend.
The government building is still the same as it has been for the past ten years. As the war in Afghanistan continues, there seem to be bullet holes in the walls from the time of the Soviet invasion. Although it was painted once, it was not covered.
"This is our home." As she walked, Dana said, "We finally saw the Soviet invaders leave, and we finally won." ”
This sentence, said in front of these puppets of the Soviets in front of him, is simply a naked slap in the face. However, Dana was completely motivated, and she remembered that she was just a country woman, and as a result, her husband took refuge in the Soviets. betrayed the guerrillas, and he stood on the side of the guerrillas, and finally let his husband be killed by the guerrillas.
Right and wrong, Dana is very clear, and she can't forget the night that changed her fate, the man who drove the big truck of the Soviets, the man who has repeatedly performed miracles and is now the president of Pakistan.
She could already feel Osama's favor, but unfortunately, in her heart, she could never forget that it was Mhammad who took her on the road of revolution! If it weren't for him, he might have been killed by the village elders as a traitor's wife.
And after that, Dana did everything, although it was to drive out the Soviets, more than that, I am afraid it was for the sake of Mhammad.
Now, at last, there is victory, and Mhammad has not been seen for more than a year.
There was a look of disappointment on her face, and in an instant, she regained the image of that capable woman, she was already the prime minister of Afghanistan!
Enter the conference room and sit back down.
"We are here mainly to reach an agreement on the plan we have discussed." Dana said, "I've done it all over again. ”
After the withdrawal of the Soviet Union, Afghanistan will form a transitional government, consisting of the Afghan Liberal Government and the Republican Government. Among them, the president is Durrani, the vice president is Najibullah, the prime minister is Dana, the deputy prime minister is Ahmed, the defense minister is Khwaja, the economy minister Osama... Of all the posts, half of the seats are held in the Republican Government, most of which are deputies, with only the Minister of Health and the Minister of Education holding the main posts.
On the surface, it seems that the two sides are in coalition government, but in the detailed rules, the position of the deputy is greatly weakened, and almost all matters need to be applied to the main office and signed before it can take effect.
"These are all in transition, and in five years, we will have a general election to determine the new full leadership." Dana finished reading the agreement and continued.
In fact, the general election or anything is just a joke, the liberal government firmly controls the country, especially the army, and the army of the liberal government is completely controlled by the liberal party, in this case, the election is just a formality.
"We have no objection to that." Najibullah said that the two sides had been arguing about these details for a long time, and in the end, Najibullah compromised, after all, the Soviet Union's retreat had become a fact, and the republican government did not have enough strength to fight the Free Army, so it had to accept the status quo.
"Okay, then let's talk about the second question, that is, the existing army of the republican government, after careful consideration, in order to maintain the popular riots that may arise in the future merger of governments, our troops should be reorganized, our free army should be reorganized into the Afghan government army, and the existing army of the republican government will be reorganized into a police force, and your army will be responsible for maintaining law and order, and it will definitely be able to bear the heavy burden."
Army! Although the two sides merged to form a coalition government, as long as the army still exists, there will still be a source of conflict, so the free government has put forward a proposal to let the puppet government's army be reorganized into a police force!
Hearing this, the faces of everyone in the puppet government, including President Najibullah, immediately turned gloomy.
Police force! What does the police force have? Truncheon? Police self-defense pistols? Airplane cannon or something, that's absolutely no more.
It's almost like making them give up their weapons! Many of the current puppet government troops have blood on their hands, and they have suppressed the guerrilla rebellion with the Soviet army.
Now, if they give up their force first, they will be liquidated.
Such conditions must not be agreed!
"In my opinion, our army should be reorganized into an army." "They are all soldiers, not policemen, they are not trained, and our original police are enough to maintain law and order," Suaki Stemande said. ”
Osama shook his head: "No, the original policemen have long become bandits, many people are secretly enriching their pockets, and even in some remote areas, they are all doing smuggling business, the original police force cannot be trusted, it must be disbanded and reorganized, and your army must be reorganized into a police force, so that it can bear the task of maintaining law and order." ”
"If you want to maintain law and order, your Free Army is more capable, why don't you reorganize into a police force?" In the opposing camp, an old guy finally couldn't stand it, even if he took a deputy position, now even the original army has to be reorganized, which is too deceitful!
"Lao Tzu's troops are used to fight." At this moment, Osama stood up, stepped on the chair, and looked coldly at these officials of the original Afghan government, tearing his face and revealing his original cruelty.
Osama's favorite thing to do during his time in the guerrillas was to skin the lackeys of the Soviets! Now, these people in front of you should skin themselves!
Seeing Osama like this, Dana couldn't help frowning, Mhammad confessed that only by maintaining peace can he not give the West an excuse to intervene, otherwise, the Soviets are gone, and the Americans will step in again, it will be even more troublesome. But now, it seems that Osama is trying to stalemate the current negotiations.
As if he was a plague god, Osama looked coldly at the puppet government in front of him.
"Osama, don't think we're unprepared!" Suakishtmande said: "Someone! ”
Sure enough, it was a Hongmen banquet, and from outside the door, a large group of officers and soldiers of the puppet government rushed in, holding their guns and looking at these people coldly.
"Najibullah, what's going on?" Durranny said, "Are you going to kill a few of us?" ”
Of course Durranny is not afraid, the person in front of him should have a long brain, so he has to know that if something goes wrong with Duranney, they will all have to be buried.
"Suaki Stemande, what's going on?" Najibullah asked. The panicked expression showed that he didn't know the situation either.
"President, what's in it for us to form a coalition government with them?" Suakist Mander said, "It's better to take this opportunity and kill them all!" Their main forces are all in Jalalabad, and as long as we take over the Soviet weapons, we can suddenly strike and crush their troops! (To be continued......)
