Chapter 475: The Soviet Union Invades Afghanistan
In Hokkaido, it's late at night.
The troops are all ready to set off, the tanks have a dull rumble and can be started at any time, and the helicopter gunships are also ready to take off at any time to seize the most critical mountain pass checkpoints, and fighter planes are also on standby at any time.
Even Andrey's MiG-25 fighter unit was on standby, they were waiting in the flight preparation room in full flight suits, and they would take off as soon as the order was given.
Tonight, a fierce battle is expected, and the Americans must have anticipated their own actions, and they will have to buy time with the most stubborn resistance, and their reinforcements will be behind them, and the front-line troops must be able to withstand them.
The U.S. Air Force's most advanced F-15 fighter is in a state of collective lying down because of engine problems, and only the Navy's Tomcat fighter is the biggest threat, and their MiG-25 fighter unit will face the Tomcat formation.
Time passed little by little, and everyone's emotions changed from excitement to confusion, what's going on? Hasn't the order been given yet?
There was no radio interference, all communication was quite smooth, there was no sound of battle in the distance, and just like that, the night passed uneventfully.
They were all very strange, they didn't know what was going on, why did they no longer carry out the action they had planned? This is already ready to fly!
"The order was issued by the superiors, the operation was temporarily canceled, and all units strictly abided by the confidentiality regulations and were on standby at any time."
Action cancelled? Such a big military operation is actually canceled when it is said to be canceled? What's going on?
Andrei took off his flight suit, returned to his dormitory, and turned on the radio, where the voice of a Hokkaido radio station was heard.
"We strongly condemn the aggression of the Soviet Union, which brazenly launched a war of aggression against Afghanistan, openly challenged international norms, and invaded a sovereign country, which will inevitably be defeated, and we pay a silent tribute to the dead President Amin."
What the? Hearing the news, Andrei couldn't believe his ears, no, it's an imperial cemetery, and it took so much energy for him to move the Moscow high-level to stop the conquest plan for Afghanistan and focus on the Far East, which is a fire pit, but I didn't expect that I really jumped into it?
Andrei pinched his face vigorously, thinking it was a dream, this is terrible! Will the Soviet Union go back to the old ways?
Andrei was worried, he wanted to return to Moscow immediately, but no, he was now the commander of the flying regiment of the MiG-25 interceptor regiment at the front, and he had to carry out tasks at the front.
At the same time, since the Soviet Union has begun to take action, it is absolutely impossible to withdraw and continue to leave Afghanistan in a mess, in short, this is a big trouble.
Now Andrei is aware of the seriousness of the Afghan problem, and on the other side of the planet someone is applauding it.
"Well done." Nathan looked at Emily in front of him and said, "Our CIA is really the world's first-class intelligence agency, no matter what difficult task it is, it can be done." β
Emily was also very excited: "This matter, it has to be that Amin to die, we never dreamed that Amin would actually shoot a Soviet diplomat, he was too bold, now it's okay, the Soviets will never suspect that we did it, and now Amin is also dead, and there is no proof of death." β
After receiving Nathan's prompt, the CIA entered a state of emergency operation, and the agents lurking in Afghanistan also took action, but it was not easy to create a sensational bombing, and it took them half a day to modify the heavy truck.
As a result, news came from the Afghan presidential palace that Amin actually shot the Soviets directly, and asked people to send the bodies back to the embassy, which was great, they stared at the car, rushed into the embassy and exploded, this effect, bargain, a lot of people died at the moment.
Will the Soviets be able to swallow this breath? What will the Soviets do? Sure enough, the Soviets, who were thunderous, went straight to it.
On the evening of the same day, the Soviets mobilized hundreds of transport planes to directly send their most advanced Alpha special forces to Kabul International Airport and Baghlan Air Base, the capital of Afghanistan.
Then, they went directly to Kabul and occupied the Afghan summit organs, the Ministry of National Defense, the radio station, etc., and less than 14 hours after Amin shot the Soviet diplomat, he was dragged out of the bed and in the presidential palace, and gave him a peanut.
Killed Amin, crushed the resistance of the Afghan government army, and at dawn, B. Karmal had already been put to power and declared that there had been a coup d'Γ©tat in Afghanistan, Karmal issued a statement inviting the Soviet army to maintain order, so, just after dawn, six divisions assembled on the border between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan launched a pincer offensive against Afghanistan in the east and west.
The three divisions of the Eastern Route moved south along the Termez-Mazar-i-Sharif road; Three divisions of the Western Route moved south along the Kushka-Herat road. Their goal was to join Kandahar within a few days. Completed the occupation of major cities and transportation arteries in Afghanistan, and took control of key border areas between Afghanistan and Pakistan and Afghanistan and Iran.
The Soviets acted quickly, apparently ready for a long time, and sent their own side on fire!
If only one Soviet diplomat had been shot, maybe the Soviets would have been able to hold back and solve the Hokkaido problem first, but half of the embassy was blown up, how could they endure this breath, and the Soviet army of 80,000 people was killed violently!
This foot stepped into the fire pit of Afghanistan, and if the Soviets wanted to get rid of it again, it would be impossible, they did not have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist.
Finally, history has been turned back on its own track!
The CIA has been closely monitoring the situation, and everything that happened in Afghanistan was quickly transmitted back to the United States and to Nathan, looking at Emily's excitement, Nathan said: "Yes, this time, as long as the Soviets step into Afghanistan, they will be the same as we were in Vietnam, and they will never be able to pull out again, so they can only fail." The CIA still has a lot of tasks, and I hope that the CIA will seize the time to contact those who oppose the Soviet Union, secretly sell weapons to them, and encourage them to oppose the Soviet occupation. β
"Okay, I understand." Emily said.
Seeing Emily turn around to leave, Nathan suddenly remembered something: "You are in the CIA now, what is your position?" β
The news I got was too timely, and I am afraid that I got it with President Carter, how much authority does Emily have?
Looking at Nathan's questioning gaze, Emily said, "Deputy Director." β
