Chapter 135: Rumors
If the Soviet side really just wanted to try...... Then I'm probably going to believe it.
After all, negotiations ...... Obviously, it is also a small thing to fight big, send a Eugenya to tell me this, even if we kill Eugenya, there will be no loss to the Soviet army...... In other words, there is one less translator! But if that happens...... The stakes are great, and the Soviets can be said to have wiped out the Higio Valley without much effort...... A non-aggression pact is almost the absence of our threat! It is even possible to develop a strong ally...... Of course, this depends on what the Soviet army does in the future, but I believe that the Soviet army will seize this opportunity anyway!
So it's almost enough to say...... This is beneficial to the Soviet army!
But......
What is their real purpose?
This question bothered me for two days...... After thinking about it, he even took this matter out and discussed it with Zhao Jingping's staff for a long time...... No one knows what the Soviet army wants to do!
Then we quickly learned what the Soviets wanted to do......
"Battalion commander!" On this day, while I was stunned by the map in front of me, Hassan ran in and reported: "I heard...... The Soviets came to negotiate with us...... It is said that the legal status of the Higio Valley is recognized, and that a non-aggression pact should be signed with the valley...... But rejected? ”
"What?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but jump up as if I had been pricked by a needle: "Where did you hear this news?" ”
I have not released the content of the conversation after meeting Eugenya, because I am worried that it will affect the morale of the military...... In the face of such a big interest. It can be said that in the face of the death threat of the Soviet army, the Soviet army is not only willing to let us go, but even provides supplies and help...... There will definitely be many guerrillas who are tempted by such a good thing, so it is inevitable that there will be extraneous complications, and I have never talked about the content of the negotiations!
"I listened to Ragil!" Hassan replied: "It has spread in the troops, saying that it is ...... The Soviet female soldier who came a few days ago is talking to you about this! But you refused...... Is this true? ”
My face changed and I asked, "What else is the sound of the words coming from outside?" ”
"Hassan...... was a little embarrassed, but I mustered up the courage to go on and continued, they said...... The Chinese soldiers are not here for the interests of Afghanistan at all, Chinese for their own interests...... I only hope that Afghanistan will fight as hard as possible with the Soviet Union. So I don't want peace in Afghanistan...... That's why. That's why the Chinese rejected the peace talks of the Soviets! ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but look at the instructor...... Now we finally know what the Soviets are doing, that is, using this so-called "negotiation" to divide us Chinese and the Afghan guerrillas!
I must admit that this is a sinister and vicious move...... No matter how good the personal relations between the Afghan guerrillas and us Chinese soldiers are, even if the guerrillas have comradeship with us Chinese soldiers, it is useless...... Because the Afghan guerrillas also understand one thing: soldiers serve their own country, so they are usually called brothers. But in the face of national interests, they will still choose their own country without hesitation!
This would have been quite normal. It is also what every soldier should do. But it was used by the Soviets...... They did this through a series of means, such as an armistice, negotiations, and rumors...... Come and tell the Afghan guerrillas that the Chinese military is now selling out the interests of Afghanistan for the sake of China's national interests!
"What do you think?" I asked Hassan.
"I think ......," replied Hassan, "there must be something else going on here." Maybe a trick of the Soviets! ”
"Hmm!" I frowned and nodded, just because Hassan would think this way doesn't mean that the partisans would think so...... The plan before the Soviet Union was a three-hundred-and-one plan...... We still have the support of Afghan commanders at the grassroots level, but now ...... I'm afraid that even the grassroots commanders are on the opposite side of us!
Other words...... If this is not handled properly, there is a good chance that the Afghan guerrillas and the Chinese army will be pitted against each other in the Shigio Valley...... Then stop this battle!
It wasn't until then that I realized what I had done wrong...... At that time, when negotiating with Yugeya, he should have brought Hassan or a few other Afghans to participate in the negotiation, so that there would be witnesses...... It is not so that only we Chinese know the truth now, but it is reasonable and cannot be explained!
But then again...... This is also where the Soviets are clever, sending Eugenia to find me by name...... And it was not stated in advance that it was a negotiation, so naturally only a few guards were brought along, so naturally there was no witness...... In fact, I believe that even if there is a witness...... Eugene will also find an excuse to break up the Afghans!
"Battalion commander!" The instructor reminded him: "Now we should immediately convene a meeting of the cadres to explain this problem clearly!" ”
"Hmm!" I nodded...... The seriousness of this matter is no longer just a matter of military morale, but even a matter of separatism, and the best way to do it is to do a good job in the ideological work of the grassroots cadres, so that they will not be tempted by rumors and fall into the hands of the Soviets!
But what I didn't expect was ...... This was only the first step for the Soviets......
Just when I was about to give the order to convene a meeting of the cadres, there was a burst of fierce artillery outside!
"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jing's tone changed dramatically and shouted at me from the walkie-talkie: "The Soviet army has attacked again...... This time, the offensive was quite fierce, and the offensive was launched simultaneously on the No. 2 and No. 14 mountain passes, and also in the two directions of the mountain pass and the mountainous area! ”
When I heard this, my heart sank...... The Soviets had the timing just right, and it could even be said to be deliberate...... Because their rumors are spread from the bottom, and this kind of spread is not good for our Chinese soldiers...... Therefore, it will take a certain amount of time to reach the ears of our Chinese soldiers, and it is precisely because of this...... That's why rumors can spread among the guerrillas before we know it.
And then...... By the time the rumors slowly spread to our Chinese ears...... It is even possible that there were Soviet spies closely monitoring all movements, just waiting for the rumors to reach our ears and to have a meeting to explain them...... The Soviet army will start fighting!
Thereupon...... We didn't even have a chance to explain! Or rather...... Even if you have to explain, then it is much more difficult to explain clearly! (To be continued......)
