"Brother Zhang, I've been waiting for you so long, counting the days every day, and I'm finally looking forward to you today!" As the general adviser of the Jalalabad army, Duan Qirui was very enthusiastic about Zhang He's arrival.

You must know that Zhang He's arrival was not a single person, or a small group of instructors and advisers, but a force of nearly 2,000 troops with an infantry brigade, a cavalry brigade and an artillery brigade as the main force. These people are all Central Asian faces, 100% believe in the Green Religion, and they are specially drawn from the fighters of the Central Asian Military Region. It is also China's most direct support for Nashrullah Khan!

The situation in Jalalabad is a bit volatile, and the arrival of Tagil has made Nashrullah's original hostility. The storm blew into the front-line army, and when Duan Qirui inspected the army these days, he felt that there was a sharp edge on his back!

It was uncertain, Zhang He and his team finally arrived, and Duan Qirui, and even the Chinese instructors and advisers in the entire army, were all relieved. Since the tense situation in Jalalabad came, Duan Qirui secretly ordered all the instructors and advisers in the army to be cautious, not to go out at night, and not to go to quiet places, as if the entire Jalalabad army natives were taken as a precautionary object.

But now that the two thousand people have arrived, the people of Jalalabad will dare to shout again, and Lao Tzu will destroy him with a wave of his hand! ――How happy Duan Qirui's heart is at this moment. The arrival of these two thousand people is in the form of a needle of the sea god, not to greatly relieve the pressure on him, Ma Tianli and even Nashrula, but to directly solve this pressure.

Zhang He also smiled and said politely: "Brother Duan has been tired these days. Zhang He was born in 1854, twelve years older than Duan Qirui. However, both of them have the same military rank and rank in the Central Asian Military Region -- brigade commander and major general. Zhang He joined the army too late, enlisting at the age of 27. The two had also met several times before at military district meetings. That's why it's called brothers. "Brother, don't blame my brother for walking slowly, the road in Afghanistan is too difficult. Brother, I work day and night. I want to come early to help my brother! ”

Duan Qirui is from Hefei, Zhang and Jiangxi, if it is put in the mainland, such a 'distance' will definitely not bring friendship. But in Central Asia, they seem to be very close emotionally, and they have a good impression of it.

Zhang He joined the army at the age of 27, frank and straightforward, and dared to act, but it took him three years to enter the military academy, and he was already thirty years old when he entered the officer class. And Duan Qirui joined the army at the age of sixteen. Served as a soldier in the Luzhou garrison regiment. Three years later, he was admitted to the Huai'an Army Command College, and after graduating two years ago, he was assigned to Xinjiang. Then he was selected for the crash course of the Northern Xinjiang Army Military Academy, and was promoted to captain squadron leader at the age of 24. Along the way, there are not too many than Zhang and Shuntan.

With a round of age difference and equal status, Zhang Heneng did not feel jealous of Duan Qirui, but the two had a nodding friendship, which was also the reason why Zhang He was able to reach the position of major general step by step. Open-minded and straightforward.

After the two exchanged politeness. Zhang He said: "How is the fight going during this time, I received a telegram from the embassy the day before yesterday, and there are a lot more king's troops on the opposite side than some time ago!" "Although the two attacks failed, the troops lost a lot. The army remained on the defensive, but Habibullah Khan took power in the capital, Kabul, and controlled the state treasury, the state army, and the arsenal. Moreover, in order to win his trust, the British also sent a lot of arms to India. Habibullah Khan had an army of 10,000 in just two months. and named the capital garrison, with Amanullah as its commander.

Speaking of which. Duan Qirui was depressed and sentimental, "Who said no, we are reinforcements, but the national army over there also has reinforcements." With Habibullah's newly recruited 10,000 troops in Kabul, the entire Afghan army rushed over. In the past few days, troops have arrived every day, and there are still a large number of munitions, and the first division of the King's Army, which was disabled by me before, recovered in a few days! ”

Then he lowered his voice and said: "It's also a shame that the other side has been increasing reinforcements these days, which makes Jalalabad feel pressured and dare not make a big move." Otherwise, I don't know if I can see my elder brother. "Duan Qirui has a squad of guards under him, if Jalalabad's people really do it, Duan Qirui would rather die in battle than be captured as a bargaining chip. Now with China's prestige, except for a major general who has been arrested, it is a great shame. "So, brother, I really thank you, brother! You are saved from a great disaster! ”

With the arrival of 2,000 Wehrmacht troops with the name of 'mercenaries', none of this is needed. Zhang He just said suspiciously: "Soldiers from Afghanistan? Even if there are more people, it shouldn't be useful! "Duan Qirui used more than 5,000 people to attack more than 10,000 people of the Afghan King's Army before, and with the rotten quality of the Jalalabad Army, the combat effectiveness of the Afghan King's Army on the opposite side can be imagined.

"No matter how bad it is, it's a veteran. Although the combat effectiveness is poor, no matter how bad it is, it is better than the new recruits. Afghanistan here is different from us, we all recruit new recruits to train first, and if you don't come out of the new barracks, you can't be a real soldier. What about them here, the recruits who have been brought to the army are purely ordinary people, and if they don't practice for two months, they won't be useful at all! ‘

Zhang He naturally knows about this, what kind of tatters does Jalalabad look like? To engage in the general training of recruits in the Wehrmacht, it is necessary to have money to afford it. Duan Qirui's 5,000 men, at least two-thirds of whom came from the nobles and religious leaders of Jalalabad, were basically a group of small warlords who fought with great sacrifice. If it weren't for Duan Qirui's good cannon play, and he concentrated all the artillery fire when fighting, he would not have been so easy to hit the king's army in the previous two battles, and the casualties were so small.

On the way to Zhang Helai, he received many telegrams from the embassy, and he knew a lot about the inside affairs of the Jalalabad army. The conversation turned around this unsolvable knot. It is good to learn the Chinese method, which can control the power of the army very well, but it is very expensive. Besides, with Nashrullah Khan's character, if his subordinates were able to train tens of thousands of recruits, they would definitely directly set up new troops instead of directly supplementing the departments below. It's a difficult problem to solve! Unless Nashrallah takes full control of Afghanistan on that day, he will bring the military from private to national.

"But now that our team is here, it's much easier. If you and I work together, we will launch a large-scale offensive together, and take down the opposite side directly in one go! Duan Qirui had a cruel smile on his face as he spoke. Rasul Yar, Ghani, Achraf, Fazal. Hardy's group of bastards made him angry with his stomach a few days ago, and now, he has to ask these grandsons to pay off their debts! With 2,000 elites in hand, which of these bastards dares not to fight hard? The Wehrmacht bulldozed him first!

Duan Qirui didn't want to continue to consume like this, he planned to take down Amla on the other side directly at the cost of some casualties in one go. It's just that these 'casualties' must be placed on the head of Jalalabad. He was going to force Rasul Yar, Ghani, Achraf, Fazar. Hardy and the others are desperate, and happy to see them disobey orders not to do their best.

"If there is revenge, you will take revenge. We still need to take care of a group of natives?! "Zhang He is very happy with Duan Qirui's approach, and the National Defense Force will do it." I will order all the troops to get ready, and we will have a meeting tomorrow, and we will take Amla in these two days. ”

"That's it!" In just two sentences, the matter was finalized, and at the same time, I don't know how many people's lives were finalized. This is the gap between strength and weakness, and it is also the reality of the most red fruit.

At this moment, in the barracks of the Jalalabad army, Rasur Yar, Ghani, Achraf, and Fazar, who were hated by Duan Qirui. Hardy and the others were dispersing very unhappily, and after getting the news that a 2,000-strong 'mercenary' had suddenly arrived, everyone knew that the general trend had gone! The dominance of the matter has been transferred from their hands to Duan Qirui's hands!

Rasul Yar, Ghani, Achraf, Fazal. Hardy and others also have to fight each other on weekdays, and even in this process, there are many scenes of joining forces with Duan Qirui to suppress their opponents. But that all changed with the turmoil in Jalalabad. The China represented by Duan Qirui has changed from a towering backer to an object of extreme vigilance. Thus began Duan Qirui's 'suffering', Rasur Yar, Ghani, Achraf, Fazar. Hardy and others formed a united front, and although they had infighting with each other, they had the same attitude towards Duan Qirui. So much so that the hundreds of instructors and advisers sent by the Central Asian Military Region were all trembling during this period.

The forces behind them are also afraid that their actions will attract China's anger, so the safety of Duan Qirui and others during this period has not been violated in the slightest. But no one could have imagined that China would be so fast!

In less than a month, the Central Asian Military Region completed the formation of the 'mercenary' unit and rushed to help.

The 2,000 people led by Zhang He entered Afghanistan under the sign of 'hiring'. Although soon the whole world will know that these 2,000 people are China's regular troops. But a skin for concealment is still very necessary.

Caught off guard, Rasul Yar, Ghani, Achraf, Fazar. Without waiting for Jalalabad's instructions, Hardy and the others took the initiative to sit together and discuss the next difficulties. Some advocate confrontation to the end and resolutely resist China's erosion; Some advocated obedience because they were simply not strong enough to resist the regular Chinese forces. No one can say anyone, and the result is unhappy.

Those who advocate compromise despise hardliners; Those who advocate toughness despise the weakness of compromisers as betrayal!

"Commander Ashraf, this is a meeting notice from the headquarters, please arrive at the headquarters on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning for a meeting!" In the evening, notices of the meeting were sent to those who were eligible! (To be continued.) )
