Chapter 159: Afghanistan (2)

At this time, I couldn't help but feel a big headache...... It's too abrupt to talk about Afghanistan before, you must know that people in this era are very closed to information, there is no Internet and no media, right? Therefore, in addition to the foreign names known to Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, North Korea, and Japan, which has fought in the war, I am afraid that I have never even heard of the name "Afghanistan", but I can say that the Soviet Union will be held back by Afghanistan......

But fortunately, my head turned quickly, and with a frown, I replied, "Well, that's the case...... Actually, I don't know a lot, but I've listened to 'Voice of America' a lot during this time, and sometimes I hear a little bit of news about this! ”

"Oh!" Commander Zhang couldn't help but nodded, it is not surprising that the Voice of America will talk about the situation in Afghanistan, because the political situation in Afghanistan has been turbulent repeatedly in the past year, and the relationship with the Soviet Union has also had occasional frictions, and the United States will naturally pay attention to this point.

"What did you say...... And what about the Soviet Union being held back by Afghanistan? Commander Zhang then asked suspiciously: "Do you think the situation in Afghanistan will change greatly?" ”

From Commander Zhang's words, I know that he is actually concerned about Afghanistan, and it is even very likely that he is also listening to the 'Voice of America'...... At this time, it is really difficult to understand the international situation, even if there is TV, there is no international news to watch, there is no way, reform and opening up has just begun!

I remember that there was a song in modern times, and there was a lyric that was: "In 1979, it was a spring, and there was an old man who drew a circle on the shore of the South China Sea......

In other words, while we were still fighting on the front lines, we were already starting to carry out economic reforms at home. That's what I said before. If you go to war with a small country. A big country can develop its economy while fighting.

It's just that reform and opening up have just begun. So we still have very few access to foreign information...... Especially those of us who are ordinary people.

So I regretted opening this topic a little, but now that I have said it, it is impossible not to say it, so I have to bite the bullet and say, "Commander...... I haven't heard all of them, but sometimes I hear that Afghanistan's prime minister came to power and that prime minister came to power, and it seems that the Soviet Union is playing tricks behind them......"

"Hmm!" Commander Zhang nodded: "The Soviet Union has had a long history of ambitions for Afghanistan, and it has been operating for decades, and now it basically controls the Afghan army, intelligence agencies and secret police. The purpose of the USSR...... It is to develop Afghanistan into its satellite state! ”

"That's right!" I pretended to remember at this point: "But what is the name of a prime minister who recently came to power......"

"Hafizzola. Amin! ”

"Yes. That's this Amin! I said, "I heard that this prime minister doesn't listen to the Soviet Union very much!" ”

"Yes, there is such a thing!" Commander Zhang replied: "The Soviet Union refused to invite him to visit Moscow several times, and strongly demanded that the Soviet Union recall its ambassador, making it clear that it wanted to break away from the control of the Soviet Union!" ”

"Oh!" I pretended to have come to my senses.

Actually, I really don't know much about this matter, I just heard a lot of anger from the old man, and then looked up the history of the Afghan war on the Internet when the United States was fighting Afghanistan.

I remember the old man said this sentence back then: "If it weren't for the fact that the Soviet Union couldn't take care of Afghanistan, the devil would not have been so easy to solve!" ”

I really don't agree with the old man's words, and the reasons for this are...... Vietnam is backed by the Soviet Union, and China is backed by the United States! If the Soviet Union's aid to Vietnam increases, in order to achieve some kind of balance and containment, then the United States will naturally increase its aid to China......

But now...... As soon as the United States saw this, China would be able to firmly control Vietnam with its own liliang. Of course, the aid is less than it can be.

From this point of view, it is really not clear whether it was a blessing or a curse for the Soviet Union to be held back by Afghanistan.

"Huh. Why am I talking about it? Commander Zhang said with a wry smile: "Tell me what you think......

"I don't have any ideas!" I said, "I'm just fooling myself...... I occasionally heard a little wind on the radio, and I thought...... At this time, the Soviet Union and Afghanistan were so tense that on the one hand, the Soviet Union did not want its decades of business in Afghanistan to come to naught, and on the other hand, the new prime minister was clearly out of control...... And if anyone fanned the flames in this......"

"Fanning the flames?" Commander Zhang couldn't help but ask a little strangely, "What is the ignition method?" ”

"It seems like the Soviets did that before, didn't they?" I said, "If you encounter a disobedient prime minister, send someone to assassinate him, or overthrow him in a coup d'Γ©tat...... So I think the current prime minister of Afghanistan must be worried about this, if we let out some more rumors, saying that the Soviet Union is going to unite with someone to launch a coup d'Γ©tat to kill him......"

"Oh!" Commander Zhang couldn't help but suddenly realize what he said, and then stood up with a bang, walked back and forth in front of me for a few steps, and after stopping, he nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's a good way, and it will intensify their contradictions at once...... Moreover, this rumor can also be said to be reasonable, even if the Soviet Union did not have this intention, it would not be clear if it had a hundred mouths...... You, how did you come up with the idea? ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, where did I think of this...... In fact, at this time, the Soviet Union was planning to kill Amin, but history made Amin aware that he had executed the opposition first, so the Soviet Union had to send troops to invade ...... Now I'm just using another method to remind Amin.

And this step is completely necessary...... The reason is simple, if the Soviet Union succeeds in using the opposition to overthrow the Amin regime, then Afghanistan will be controlled by the Soviet Union again, and there will be no need for the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan again!

That's when I got a little confused...... That's how history develops, if I hadn't given Armin a wake-up call, wouldn't Amin have been able to detect it in advance? Or just go in the other direction......

"But ......" then Commander Zhang hesitated and said: "After all, Ah Ming has not been in power for a long time, and he is still fledgling...... Originally, it would be beneficial for our country to continue to develop like this, but now Amin is forced to tear his face with the Soviet Union early...... Is it a blessing or a curse......"

Commander Zhang's worries are justified, you must know that Amin himself is anti-Soviet, and the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, so Amin has invisibly become our ally...... So let a fledgling ally fight the Soviet Union, or if it was a complete loss, the Soviet Union would take this opportunity to control Afghanistan more tightly.

"Commander Zhang!" I said, "I don't think there's anything to worry about...... The reason is that the people of Afghanistan are fierce, and the contradiction between Afghanistan and the Soviet Union is not in essence the contradiction between Amin and the Soviet Union, but the contradiction between the Afghan people who are unwilling to submit and unwilling to be controlled by the Soviet Union...... It's good for us, no harm! ”

"Makes sense!" Commander Zhang couldn't help but nod his head again and again, and then looked at me with some surprise and said, "I can't see it, I didn't expect this wisdom...... If I didn't know what kind of person you were, I thought you were a conspirator! ”

I couldn't help but sweat when I heard this, what kind of conspirator am I...... I just happen to know a little bit about this history.

"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" Then Commander Zhang said to me with a straight face: "No matter how this matter develops in the future, only you know, I know...... Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" I replied very simply, "We didn't talk about anything today!" ”

I'm not a fool, and of course I know that this is not a trivial matter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it will affect the fate of a country or the relationship between two countries, so of course I will not talk nonsense.

"Good!" Commander Zhang nodded: "Then ...... next I'll give you three days off and let you get together with your old comrades! ”

"Gathering with old comrades?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this.

"Huh? Didn't I say that? Commander Zhang smiled embarrassedly: "Look at my memory...... Your troops are back, right here at this base! ”

"What? Our troops...... Coming back? "I can't help but be a little confused when I hear it, will I still not know if our troops are back?

"Oh!" Commander Zhang explained with some embarrassment: "I'm talking about the 40th Division...... That is, your original troops! ”

"What? The 40 Division returned from the front? Right at our base? ”

"yes!" Commander Zhang nodded: "A group of border guards who have been newly trained have already gone to the front line, so they have replaced a group of troops on the front line, and now the 40th Division is training at our base, and they have been back for more than a month......

"Commander Xiexie!" I hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Commander Zhang, because I knew...... If it weren't for Commander Zhang's deliberate arrangement, the 40th Division would not have been so coincidentally at this base where we are located.

Later I realized that I was so thankful that I was wrong...... Commander Zhang's transfer of the 40th Division to our base for training was not because of me, but because of other profound meanings.

But at this time, where would I think so much, a heart has already flown out of the clouds.

Commander Zhang didn't explain, just smiled and said, "Go ahead!" Take the soldiers with you, go back to the old army to see, Zhang Fan will stay here for a few days, you won't have an opinion! ”

"Of course...... No comments! I couldn't help but blush, I didn't know how to answer, I just looked at Commander Zhang hahadaxiao.

After explaining to Zhang Fan, I stepped into the jeep and asked the driver to drive to the camp...... If it were in modern times, I wouldn't be as excited as I am now about meeting a friend, but now it's different, and the reason is ...... What I want to see now are comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms who have lived and died together on the battlefield! (To be continued......)
