Chapter 403: Preventing the Tragedy from Happening
If you want to solve the people's problems well, the first thing is to eat, and if the people are left hungry, then no matter what kind of rhetoric there is, no matter how loud the slogans are propagated, the people will not support them.
As a superpower, the people of the United States have long since solved the problem of food and clothing, and they are so rich that they will have nothing to blame other countries and say that they are not democratic.
Now, Gorbachev has tried all kinds of ways to solve domestic problems, and he can even sit down and negotiate with his opponents in the Soviet Union.
Gorbachev had long wanted to negotiate, and he would quickly withdraw all the Soviet troops here, which would save a lot of expenses.
And now, Gorbachev's eyes on Mhammad give him a good impression, this war is wrong, without this war, the two can even be good friends.
"I'm sorry." Mhammad said: "We have just enough food in our country, and the areas you mentioned are our main grain producing areas now, but our food, in addition to eating ourselves, also has to supply our friendly neighbor Afghanistan, so we really don't have extra food for the time being." ”
If you want the people of northern Afghanistan to support the Afghan Free Government, you need to let them improve their quality of life, through guò mining, some people have already become rich first, and at the same time, they must also be allowed to have food to eat, and most of the grain from these main grain producing areas, except for Pakistan's own use, has been transported to the mountainous areas of northern Afghanistan, where the grain production is too low to eat for themselves.
In later generations, the Afghan tribes were chaotic and there were many tribes, which was also the reason for the continuous war in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union was gone, and they were still fighting for their own interests.
And now. Under the impetus of Mhammad, this side is completely different from history, the Free Afghan Army is very strong, there is no second force to compete with them, and at the same time, the Afghans are rich. When they have money, they all come out of their own mountain villages, communicate with each other, and the estrangement disappears.
Some even went to Pakistan and worked in those newly opened factories, which greatly promoted national integration, and when the Soviet Union was gone, a new Afghanistan. It will be a strong backing for Pakistan.
Now Mhammad does not have the spare forces to export grain.
Hearing Mhammad's words, Gorbachev felt a sense of loss, the West is not that it does not sell him grain, the key is that he has been on credit, and when he gets credit, he will not sell it to him, and if he wants to buy it, he must first fill in the previous hole. Therefore, he can only find a way from other countries.
"There is a lot of fertile land in your country. How can there not be enough food for yourself? Mhammad asked.
In fact, this problem is of course known to Mhammad, the management of collectivized farms has discouraged the peasants, and the grain has been harvested and the harvest has failed. It doesn't have any effect on them, so their food production has not been high.
Don't work, mix. It's still a day, who wants to work? People are inert, and the system of big pot rice is an ideal system, which cannot be developed in practice at all. Isn't that what Huaxia is all about? When the contract is re-contracted to the households, the grain output of the year will be bumper, and every household will have surplus grain.
"That's a big problem for us." Gorbachev said: "I also hope that we can solve this problem as much as possible." ”
Before he came to power, Gorbachev was in charge of agriculture and was valued by Andropov, but now, when he really started, he realized how difficult it was to perestroika!
"I Jianyi, you can go to Huaxia to have a look, Huaxia is a large country with a large population, they are now through reform and opening up, can perfectly solve the food problem, and now the country's economic strength has begun to develop rapidly." Mhammad said.
The normalization of Sino-Soviet relations began during the Gorbachev era, but alas, it was already 89 years by then. Gorbachev visited China, becoming the first Soviet leader to visit China since 59.
Now, the time is only 86 years, and Mhammad can take advantage of this opportunity to promote it when it is time to promote it, which will be of great benefit to China.
For a long time, the biggest threat to China was the Soviet Union in the north, and from Outer Mongolia, the armored clusters of the Soviets could be driven to Beijing in two days. Therefore, most of the Chinese army is placed in the north, defending this terrible polar bear.
If relations with the Soviet Union are normalized, then the threat from China will be gone, and more armaments can be reduced, and at the same time, the focus will be shifted from the army to the navy and air force.
Mhammad is powerless to move the whole history forward, he can only guide it at the right time.
Sure enough, hearing Mhammad's words, Gorbachev said: "I have already begun to think about this issue, and I also hope to go to Beijing to have a look, but now there are still some problems in China that need to be solved." ”
Gorbachev has not yet fully gained the support of the military, and there are some opposing voices.
"I think you can follow the same path as Huaxia." "After our plan is carried out, you can disarm and cut out some of the disobedient troops," Mhammad said. In this way, sufficient funds can also be freed up to continue the reforms within your country. ”
In order to compete for hegemony with the United States, the Soviet Union maintained a strong army in order to achieve its own strategic goals, and at the same time, military expenditures accounted for too large a large proportion of total expenditures, which was also the main reason for the economic development of the Soviet Union.
This proposition put forward by Mhammad is actually beneficial to the Soviet Union, and it is also very much in line with Gorbachev's mind, killing birds with one stone, Gorbachev immediately nodded: "Well, such a method can be adopted!" ”
Those disobedient armies should be cut! The whole country can only have one voice, and that is its own orders!
Gorbachev was very satisfied with this meeting, this Mhammad, no wonder he was able to lead the Afghan guerrillas and achieve such great results, this guy is full of bad water, and the yin people have not discussed. Thinking of the strategy that Mhammad gave him, which could bring down the tough Marshal Sokolov and others, Gorbachev felt that this time the gains were great.
The two sides left, and Mhammad returned to Pakistan, where he immediately set about the assignment of an expedition to the Soviet Union.
"Mr. President, we have no plans to introduce nuclear reactors from the Soviet Union, and besides, the Soviets are our enemies, will there be any changes in the middle?" Musha'f asked.
The two sides have been fighting for so many years, and now, they are still in confrontation, introducing technology from each other and building nuclear power plants.
"yes." "I didn't plan to import nuclear technology from the Soviet Union, and now we're just investigating," Mhammad said. ”
Mhammad is worried that he cannot directly tell Mushaaf that the Chernobyl disaster is about to come, and Mhammad has an obligation to prevent this incident from happening from the perspective of all mankind.
"We sent some people over to focus on the safety performance of the Soviets' nuclear reactors." "In particular, Kiatelov, the chief engineer of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, tried to make a fool of him and remove him from the post of chief engineer," Mkhamad said. ”
Mhammad knew very well that the first person responsible for the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was Kiatelov, this guy, who was originally an ordinary engineer at a thermal power station, was transferred to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant because the background was hard enough.
If they had followed the safety rules in full, the Chernobyl disaster could have been avoided.
Therefore, Mhammad sent people to investigate this time, and he also had to get down the chief engineer of the other party, so that only in this way could the accident be avoided.
This was the only time that Mhammad acted not in his own interests, but in the interests of the Soviets.
"Yes." "The Minister of Industry will personally lead the team, and two of our nuclear experts will go to the Soviet Union together," Musha'f said. ”
"Well, it has to be fast." "We're running out of time," Mhammad said. ”
Running out of time? Musha'af wondered again, what does it mean that time is running out?
"Report, the U.S. ambassador asks for a meeting." Just then, the secretary came over and reported to Mhammad.
U.S. Ambassador? Mhammad wondered, at this time, what is the other party doing here?
"Ask him to come in." Mhammad said.
Musha'f went out, leaving only Mhammad alone, and the sun was already shining in the west, and the whole room became golden and shining through the guò screen.
Soon, Arnold, who looked anxious, walked into Mhammad's office, looked at Mhammad who was sitting there to work, Arnold said: "Mr. President, it is a pleasure to see you, I would like to know, where did you go this morning?" ”
This sentence was asked by Hammad's heart, and he was furious, how dare the other party interfere with his whereabouts?
"I'm out to inspect." Mhammad said: "What, is there something wrong? ”
"Mr. President, our agents on the Soviet side have intercepted a secret piece of information, and they have told Washington that this morning, the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, had a meeting with the President of Pakistan, that is, you, on the border between Afghanistan and Turkmenistan, so I would like to confirm with you whether you met with Gorbachev this time, or if this was a misinformation."
Mhammad's eyes were like a torch, what Soviet agents, what intelligence could the Americans find inside the Soviet Union? At most, those people of theirs rely on some Soviet-issued newspapers and the like to obtain information, and it is impossible for them to have access to top-secret information.
Not agents on the Soviet side, but on Pakistan's own side, there are spies from the Americans! (To be continued......)
