I don't feel at all surprised that this valley has a lord...... Strategic points are battlegrounds, and I know that places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so others know them too. So in order to survive, everyone will want to grab that place as their base...... The Afghan guerrillas are not stupid, they know how to save themselves, and besides, we have been here for months...... It would be strange if the Hijeo Valley was still borderlands at this time.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" At this time, Hassan walked into the camp headquarters with a dusty Rajir.

"Hmm, you're back?" When I saw Ragil, I couldn't help but perk up, casually brought him a glass of water, and asked, "How is it?" What does Pesul mean? ”

Pesul was the leader of the guerrillas who occupied the valley of Chigio...... From Smith, I know that they are a force of thousands...... This was obtained on the basis of the intelligence network of the American side, in fact...... The Yankees have long since deployed many intelligence agents in Afghanistan because of their Cold War relationship with the Soviet Union......

This is actually very normal, if the Soviet Union wants to control Afghanistan, then the United States must dismantle Taiwan in Afghanistan, and even the reason why former Afghan Prime Minister Amin will be "solved" by the Soviet Union is because he is pro-American...... In other words, it is very likely that the Soviet Union was forced by the United States to send troops.

That's why Smith will always have a lot more intel than we do.

But for unknown reasons, Pesul's guerrilla detachment did not receive assistance from either American or Chinese bases. This compelled me to send Ragil to the valley of Higio to contact Pesur.

"Battalion commander!" After a few mouthfuls of water, Rajir gasped and shook his head and said, "Pesur refuses to cooperate with us......"

"Oh!" Although I could guess the result from the expression on Ragil's face when I saw him, I still reluctantly asked, "Is it because of weishenme?" ”

Hassan interjected: "Did you tell him that we won the battle?" Did you say that it was we who twice pushed back the sweeps of the Soviets? ”

"Got it!" Ragil sighed. "Actually, Pesul already knew this. But he still stuck to his ideas...... They refuse to cooperate with us. Nor will we accept our assistance! ”

"His idea is ......" Rajir continued after a pause: "He thinks that this is Afghanistan's own war and does not need to be interfered with...... And ......"

"And what?" I asked.

Ragil glanced at me and continued: "He said...... Both the Americans and the Chinese have their own interests, so their help is not credible...... It is even very likely to become a scourge of Afghanistan, the most sensible thing to do...... It is stupid to rely on the Afghans themselves to drive out the aggressors, and it is stupid to rely on others, and they will all have to pay the price in the future! ”

I couldn't help but smile wryly when I heard this. This Pesul saw it very clearly...... But I didn't hide that I came for profit, and I made it clear to Hassan on the first day he joined us!

"This old stubborn!" Hassan couldn't help but scold: "If it's good for everyone, then why should Weishenme refuse?" ”

Hassan actually thinks the same way as me...... That's why Hassan has been able to work closely with us, if not at all.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Hassan said, "Do you want me to talk to Pesul......

I shook my head: "Rajir has made it very clear, and it won't change anything if you go again...... If there is a change, I'm afraid I'm the only one who will go on a trip! ”

"Battalion commander!" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping hurriedly stopped: "This matter should be considered in the long run...... Pesul is still hostile to us, and the Soviets have been targeting you recently...... I think it's better to send someone else! ”

"I'm afraid I can't send someone else!" "First of all," said the instructor, "Pesul was the leader of the partisans...... If we send someone else, we will make Pesur feel that he looks down on him, and secondly, the battalion commander now has a certain prestige in the guerrillas, which means that the battalion commander speaks in front of Pesul...... So I think the battalion commander really has to go in person! ”

"But this ......" Zhao Jingping still couldn't rest assured.

"I'll be fine!" I said: "As the instructor said, now we already have a certain prestige among the partisans, and if Pesur dares to openly act against us...... It is likely to arouse the disgust of other guerrillas and even the Afghan population. A force ...... If again an enemy of the USSR. Isolated by the guerrillas and the common people...... So do they still have a foothold in Afghanistan? ”

Zhao Jingping thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he no longer objected!

I didn't tell anyone about this operation...... In fact, I didn't tell anyone else. The guards didn't bring any of them...... It's not because I have the courage to go into the Dragon's Lair alone, but to create the illusion that I'm still at the base...... The guards have been following me all the time, and there are no less guards...... That pretty much meant that I was still at the base, and the Soviet spies who had infiltrated the base would probably have thought I was just rarely going out.

So what I brought out this time, in addition to the necessary interpreter of Saheid, were a few trusted guerrillas under Hassan, including Ragil...... Since he had been to the Higio Valley and had dealt with Pejer, he was of course very suitable to be the guide and facilitator of this diplomacy.

So we set out with twenty guns and ten mules......

To be honest, I was still a little worried when I walked down the road...... The reason is that there are only twenty of us, and these members are all Afghans except Saheid...... What's more, since I came to this shijie, I have never left my soldiers to act alone...... This makes me feel inexplicably insecure.

In this respect, I don't know if my soldiers depend on me or if I depend on my soldiers...... Thinking about it later, I felt that it was not really a question of who relied on whom, but that I habitually regarded the troops under my command as my own hands and feet, and was used to directing them to overcome one difficulty after another.

But fortunately, the disguise at the base seems to have worked...... There was no movement on the part of the Soviets, and they didn't even know that I was in Afghanistan.

But what surprised me was...... When we arrived at the Higio Valley, two guerrillas saluted us and said: "Welcome from China, our leader Pesur has been waiting for you for a long time!" (To be continued......)
