Kabul, the capital of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, the residence of Prince Akbar, in a secret room, several middle-aged people gathered here. Colonel Niu Zhiyang, the representative of the Empire's * Military Intelligence Agency, watched with a smile on his face. These middle-aged men are all high-ranking generals of the Afghan army, subordinates of Prince Akbar, and they are being called together today precisely to overthrow Dost. The reign of Muhammad Khan.

In Dost. When Muhammad Khan was imprisoned by the British in India, Akbar served as the chief of the Barakzai tribe and led his men to fight against the British. Although he was eventually defeated by the British, this gave him a great deal of influence within the Barakzai tribe. Especially in the army, there are many of his subordinates. This is his brother Schelle. Ali can't compare to the horse.

However, because of Prince Akbar and Dost. The differences of opinion between Muhammad Khan made Dost. Muhammad Khan no longer intends to pass the position of the emir to Prince Akbar. He liked Scheer even more. Prince Ali, so, for several years, Prince Akbar's power in the army has been hit. But even so, Prince Akbar had his own influence in the army.

For example, more than half of the troops who remain in Kabul are under the control of Prince Akbar. Among the army being drafted, many generals are also Prince Akbar's henchmen. After all, the Kingdom of Afghanistan has already sent a large number of troops to defend against the invasion of the Chinese* army. To ensure victory, Dost. Muhammad Khan sent many of his loyal generals out. This directly made Prince Akbar's coup d'état much more likely to succeed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Dost. Muhammad Khan is already old. His thinking can no longer keep up with the development of the times. his foreign policy. Now it turns out to be undoubtedly a failure. The Kingdom of Afghanistan could not continue to follow the British, otherwise. When the Chinese come to Kabul, Afghanistan will be destroyed. Prince Akbar said loudly to his supporters.

Everyone nodded their heads one after another, if they were very interested in Dost at the beginning. If Muhammad Khan's foreign policy was not yet much of a disagreement, they now feel a great threat as the front continues to be defeated. After all, they are all nobles of the kingdom, and if the kingdom is destroyed, then their interests will be greatly affected.

"Shel. Ali that guy. Just know to bewitch Dost. Muhammad Khan. The current kingdom of Afghanistan has reached the most critical moment. As the eldest son of the emir, I can no longer watch the kingdom go on like this, I must find a way to save it. So I hope you can help me. If you succeed, you will all be the heroes of the kingdom! Prince Akbar looked at the crowd.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you need us to do, you can give the order directly! We are all loyal to you! A burly middle-aged man said. In his opinion. If Schelle. If Prince Ali becomes the emir, none of them who are close to Prince Akbar will end well. In this case, it is better to fight to the death.

"Good. Ladies and gentlemen. I am ready to launch a coup d'état in Kabul to replace Dost. Muhammad Khan, become the new emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan! Prince Akbar said word by word.

Even if these people are already prepared. But when Prince Akbar made it clear that he wanted a coup d'état, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. It's a head tied around the waistband of your pants. If you don't do it well, you'll have to fall to the ground.

"Now the army in Kabul. More than half of it is in our hands, and if we launch a surprise attack, we will have a good chance of winning. Prince Akbar said.

These middle-aged people are all generals in the army, and they naturally understand this truth. If there is a surprise attack, then there is a real good chance that they will take Kabul. However, a coup d'état does not mean that the Kingdom of Afghanistan can be surrendered. Even if Prince Akbar becomes an emir, how do they need to deal with the attacks of the Chinese?

"Your Royal Highness, after we have gained the right to rule Afghanistan, how should we deal with the Chinese who are attacking?" Someone asked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to one person. This general is a Niu general from the Chinese Empire! Prince Akbar said with a smile.

"Good evening, everyone!" Colonel Niu Zhiyang's face was facing a smile.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Prince Akbar's coup d'état was supported by the Chinese Empire, or that His Royal Highness the Prince colluded with the Chinese Empire. Either way, it doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is that as long as the coup is successful, then the Chinese Empire will not destroy the Kingdom of Afghanistan, and their interests will be preserved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've decided. When I become the emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, I will change the foreign policy of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. The Chinese Empire is already the hegemon of the world, and the Kingdom of Afghanistan can only achieve peace and greater development if it is effectively loyal to the Chinese Empire. Prince Akbar said. In his opinion, the disparity in strength between the Kingdom of Afghanistan and the Chinese Empire was too great. The Chinese Empire was able to crush the Kingdom of Afghanistan to death with even a little finger.

Everyone nodded their heads again and again, and there was no shame in their allegiance to the Chinese Empire. After all, the Chinese Empire is now equivalent to the hegemon of the world. Historically, these tribes living in the Kingdom of Afghanistan have also offered their loyalty to the Central Plains Dynasty.

"Also, when the war is over, the Chinese Empire will support the Kingdom of Afghanistan to become a great power in the Muslim world, and even, one day, I will become a caliph! When the time comes, everyone will be the important ministers of the dynasty! Prince Akbar made a promise.

All were bright-eyed, and the caliph was the supreme ruler of the Muslim world, and was now the sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Of course, it was very difficult for the emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan to become the caliph of the Muslim world. However, if there is the support of the world's number one power, then everything can happen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Chinese Empire, I would like to officially declare to you that we are very optimistic about Prince Akbar, and that Prince Akbar is the ruler that the Kingdom of Afghanistan really needs. Moreover, the Chinese Empire will fully support Prince Akbar to become the emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, and in the future, the Kingdom of Afghanistan will also become the spokesperson of the Chinese Empire in the Muslim world! Colonel Niu Zhiyang also expressed his position.

Colonel Niu Zhiyang's words can be said to have given everyone a reassurance, and they can be relieved to know that Prince Akbar is really colluding with the Chinese Empire. The prospects, then, of a coup d'état are undoubtedly very rosy.

The generals present expressed their loyalty to Prince Akbar.

After that, Prince Akbar issued an order for everyone to go back and prepare their troops, and move on time tomorrow night to capture the royal palace and abolish Dost. Muhammad Khan, meanwhile, killed Sher. Prince Ali, completely cut off the troubles.

On the night of September 19, 1854, Kabul, the capital of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, was under curfew. Because of the defeat of the front-line army, the entire area north of the Hindu Kush fell under the control of the Chinese* army. Both the British Army and the British and Indian Forces chose to flee back to Kabul through the Hindu Kush Mountains. Now, they are trekking through the mountains. Similarly, Chinese* troops are rushing to Kabul.

In order to ensure the stability of Kabul, Dost. Muhammad Khan ordered Kabul to be under a curfew from now on. No one was allowed to roam the streets without a pass issued by the royal palace, and if caught by the patrolling army, he would be executed as a dangerous person.

Inside the Royal Palace, Dost. Muhammad Khan is working with his most beloved son Sher. Prince Ali talks.

"The situation is now very dangerous for us, even though the British claim that they will fight a battle to defend Kabul when they retreat to it. A large number of British* troops were to arrive from India. However, I don't believe it. There's a good chance we won't be able to hold Kabul! "Dost. Muhammad Khan was a little lost, and his life could be regarded as ups and downs. finally became the emir of the Kingdom of Afghanistan again, but I didn't expect it to end like this.

"Father, what should we do?" Shea. Prince Ali was also a little anxious. He's trying to curry favor with Dost. Muhammad Khan was a good hand, but when it came to dealing with national affairs and leading troops into battle, he was far from being a match for Prince Akbar.

"Tomorrow morning, you go to India! In any case, we have to leave a way back for the Barakzai dynasty! "Dost. Muhammad Khan said.

"Father, why don't we go to India together! Wait for the British to win the Chinese, and then we will come back! "Shel. Prince Ali said.

"It can't be! Unless I hold Kabul, the British will not treat you well. Even if I die in Kabul, it's worth it. Only then will the British continue to support you! "Dost. Muhammad Khan's eyes were full of pity.

Shea. Prince Ali nodded, he didn't want to wait for death in Kabul, if he could escape to India and wait for the end of the war, it would be the best!

"Bang! Bang! The sound as crisp as fried beans suddenly sounded.

"What's going on?" Dost. Muhammad Khan's face turned pale.

"Boom!" The sound of shells exploding was heard inside the city of Kabul. (To be continued......)
