While the whole world was fascinated by the brutal fighting in Kursk, no one noticed the humble underground workers thousands of kilometers away in this region of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Note that the underground workers here are in no way complimentary, because in the eyes of the Soviet authorities, these underground workers were all enemies of the Soviets and a source of instability in the Caucasus. Of course, these sources of instability did not emerge out of nowhere, and in fact these troublemakers were much older than the Soviet Union and Communism, dating back a thousand years.

Beginning in the seventh century AD, the Arab conquerors introduced YSLJ to the North Caucasus, and this belief soon became an integral part of the region's national identity. Of course, the spread of this faith was slow, accompanied by conquests and the footprint of blood. From the 8th century to the 16th century, YSLJ's footsteps advanced to the Chechen front. Of course, it must be added that in the south of Chechnya, both Georgia and Armenia have always adhered to the orthodox Orthodox faith.

Let's put it this way, in the Caucasus, ethnicity and religion can be said to be in a hodgepodge of customs, habits and ideologies are crowded together, especially after the founding of the Soviet Union, with the absolute dominance of Marxism-Leninism, it is like pouring a scoop of water into a pot of hot oil that has smoked!

Of course, Russia, represented by the Soviet Union, did not pour water into the oil pot after the First World War, as early as the Tsarist period, Tsarist Russia carried out more than one water splashing operation in the region. At one time, Tsarist Russia was ready to vigorously support the Orthodox Church, trying to replace the YSLJ faith, which was spreading more and more rapidly. However, this blunt and reckless action did not work well, and the local indigenous tribes instead saw YSLJ as a tool to jointly resist the invasion of Tsarist Russia. In the case that the soft means did not work well, the rough tsar naturally stretched out the bloodstained iron fist in his robe. Violence and scorched-earth policies were used against the local inhabited indigenous populations.

However, we also have to say that in those days, it was not only Tsarist Russia that was ugly, but also Britain, France, and the expanding United States used similar methods. Even Ottoman Turkey is included in this list. At that time, the Turks did not regard the natives of the Caucasus as relatives. Opposite. Fueled by religious extremism, Turkey is even more cruel and cruel.

The historical origins are not yet finished, as we all know that after the end of World War I, four empires collapsed, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Tsarist Russia, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire. And what is more painful is that the Caucasus has more or less something to do with these four empires. So he was immediately swept into the circle of right and wrong.

For example, in the civil war of Tsarist Russia, the White Army and the Red Army fought very vigorously in the Caucasus. It's just that neither the White Army nor the Red Army are loved by the local natives who believe in YSLJ, and the Red Army's belief is Marxism-Leninism or atheism. This is worse in the eyes of Muslims than infidels. In their view, the Red Army was a "disbeliever", prisoners in hell, the so-called kafir.

It's just that the White Army is much more stupid than imagined, Anton. Considering his troops as conquerors of the Caucasus, Denegin constantly stirred up ethnic and religious tensions in the region, and even used scorched earth tactics at one point, and naturally Denegin and his White Army were beaten to pieces by the local Muslims and the Red Army.

Of course, the Red Army was not much smarter, because the Red Army was openly hostile to the YSLJ. Rude treatment of local ethnic and religious traditions, especially the implementation of a military communist confiscation policy in the region. All means of production and subsistence are brought under the control of the state. This seriously harms the interests of the local tribal chiefs, and naturally water and fire are incompatible.

However, one thing that the Red Army is better than the White Army is that the White Army is a skinny camel and has to come out to pretend to be forced, so it will naturally be hanged and beaten. And the Red Army is the newly rising sun, which is stronger and stronger the more you fight. From 1918 to 1922. The Red Army ruthlessly crushed all rebellions in the Caucasus with an iron fist and the barrel of a gun.

It has to be said that the methods of the Red Army, although a little more simple and crude, were indeed effective. In addition, it should be mentioned here that Stalin was really ruthless in dealing with his native countrymen.

During World War II. In the absence of any reliable evidence, Stalin accused the inhabitants of the North Caucasus (especially Chechnya, Ingushetia, Karatsa, Balkar, Kalmyks and Tatars in the Crimea) of treason and collaboration with the Nazis to exile the population of the aforementioned regions to Siberia and Central Asia, and even to outright imprisonment and execution.

About a third of Chechens died in this national purge. The most famous of these was Operation Pea, which began in February 1944. During the first week of the operation, 478479 Chechen and Ingushetia residents were relocated to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

In fact, Stalin's aim was very simple: to solve complex ethnic and religious contradictions by means of population war. During his years in power, the Kremlin cracked down on the YSLJ, severed ties between the YSLJ in the Soviet Union and overseas religious institutions, and strictly forbade Muslims from making pilgrimages to Mecca. Under the command of Steel, the Caucasus closed mosques, drove out mullahs, destroyed monasteries, and killed lamas.

Stalin's approach was undoubtedly brutal, but it curbed the development and spread of religious extremist ideology, and sometimes the quick way to cut through the mess was impersonal, but it worked, and the stability of the Caucasus was unquestionable during the years of steel. Of course, all this steel was ruined by a fool who sold his reputation, and the big trouble in Chechnya after the collapse of the Soviet Union was largely caused by that fool pretending to be a virgin. Remember the name of this fool, his name is Khrushchev.

Of course, in this historical time and space, Stalin did not have the exclusive power that he had in history, and he was driven home in 1940. So in the Caucasus, all races are still living carefree.

In fact, carefree is also nonsense, because whether it is Stalin, Lenin or Trotsky, they are basically the same in one respect, and that is that they are all believers in Marxism. They do not believe in any gods, and they are willing to curb these religions through administrative means.

Throughout the twenties and thirties, whether Catholic, Orthodox, or YSLJ, the development of the Soviet Union was regressive. At one time, Lenin was ready to demolish all the Orthodox churches, preparing to completely destroy this faith in the Soviet Union. It's just Li Xiaofeng's persuasion. and under international pressure, the mentor dispels this idea.

Of course, this is not to say that the Orthodox Church is safe, in fact its mission is quite restricted, both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the KGB are keeping an eye on them, and if there is any sign of disturbance and unpleasantness, it is shouting and killing.

This is true of the Orthodox Church, not to mention the YSLJ, in the opinion of the Bolsheviks. Orthodoxy is bad, and YSLJ is outright evil. As a result, the Politburo issued a strict prohibition order, closed and destroyed all mosques in the country, and beat the mullahs and tribal chiefs in turn. Moreover, at Stalin's suggestion, the clan network of local tribes was completely destroyed, and residents of different nationalities and religions were mixed together, and strict religious control was imposed. and encourage mutual whistleblowing.

In this regard, Li Xiaofeng is also happy to see it. Since Steel is happy to be a wicked man, let him do it. Anyway, throughout the thirties, Li Xiaofeng pursued a policy of pushing the boat along the river, and he still cared about the Orthodox Church, as for other religions. He didn't even bother to pay attention.

However, what Li Xiaofeng didn't expect was that in this complex soil, there were already many bad signs thriving. The destruction of human nature and the brainwashing ability of extremist religious ideology are super awesome. Moreover, there are many in the history of the Caucasus, and blood feuds are passed down from generation to generation, even if the mighty Red Army destroyed most of the resistance. But there are always some fish that slip through the net!

Dudayev was one such fish, who escaped across the border to Turkey in the early twenties, after the Red Army destroyed his father's clan with machine guns and artillery.

In Turkey, Dudayev came into contact with the most radical and extreme Salafi (Wahhabi) sect in the YSLJ, and under his influence, Dudayev began to transform into an ethnic and religious extremist. He was full of separatist fantasies and extremist pathologies, and he was constantly thinking about recovering his homeland and taking revenge.

However, throughout the thirties, Dudayev did not make much progress, and he tried to cross the border and return to his hometown more than once. But under the close surveillance and surveillance of the NKVD border guards, every time Dudayev took advantage of the excitement and returned home, and the only result he achieved in a decade-long effort was to kill dozens of border guards. At the same time, the like-minded people he developed were wiped out even more. In a recent effort, his eldest son was shot dead by the NKVD, and he himself was blinded in one eye.

"This revenge will definitely be avenged!" While drinking (this is a serious violation of religious rules), Dudayev shouted at the foreign guests, "If you give me enough weapons, I will pull up a thousand people in no time, no!" Armed with 10,000 men, the custody will turn Georgia and Ameria upside down! ”

Dudayev has said similar words many times, and every time he meets with foreign friends, he never tires of repeating this slogan. Last time, he got 10,000 marks and a dozen guns from the Gestapo. It can be seen that not all foreign friends are easy to fool.

In fact, Dudayev's requirements are not high, if a foreign friend can fool more than 10,000 marks and a dozen guns, so many countries in the world, take turns to fool again, and are afraid that something big will not happen?

Of course, with Dudayev's cultural level, he doesn't know how many countries there are in this world, let alone how many of them will be interested in his ambitions.

It's just that this time it was completely beyond Dudayev's expectations, this time there were not only dates, but also big and sweet. Learvine replied with a smile: "I would like to express my sympathy only on behalf of the British Empire for the plight of you and your people. How to improve the living conditions of Muslims has always been a concern of the empire. At present, the empire is willing to do everything possible to help Muslims achieve a better living environment, and it also expresses strong anger at regimes that engage in religious persecution and ethnic cleansing. ”

Dudayev was a rough man and had no interest in Lear's official speech. He is only interested in practical things, he really doesn't want it, and it's not worth the money for this meal of mutton at noon today!

Fortunately, it was not the first time that Learwin had dealt with such turtles, and she knew very well that these guys were both earthy and greedy, and could not understand the meaning of the support of the British Empire. So she quickly got down to business: "The Empire is willing to provide you and your clan with supplies, money, and munitions, and can also send military advisors to train your troops......"

Dudayev's eyes lit up immediately. Like every turtle, he almost drooled, and he asked with a pig-like face, "Then how many weapons and funds can you provide?" ”

"What a turtle!" Learvin sneered in his heart, but replied with a smile on his face: "Weapons and funds are not a problem, but I heard that you have been in contact with Nazi Germany before?" ”

When it comes to those "stingy" Germans, Dudayev is also unhappy for a while, wasting a lot of his saliva and time, but only giving him a little something, expecting him Uncle Dudayev to use this bit of rags to drag the Russians back, do you really think he is called Hanako?

For Dudayev, who has milk and is a mother. Turning the face and not recognizing people is a necessary skill. Anyway, the Germans are far away from him, what can they do with him. Since the British have a higher weight, it is necessary to abandon the Germans.

"It's definitely a rumor!" Dudayev swore to heaven, "How can my brothers and I be complicit in the Nazis, this is Chiguo's slander and slander!" Isn't it the rumors made by those damned Ingushetia, those damned infidels who always lie and cannot believe every word they say! Trust me, good friend of the UK. Dudayev will never have anything to do with the Nazis, I can swear to Allah! ”

Let's talk about it. Dudayev seems to be going to swear by the sky, of course, this set of procedures is very familiar to Liervin, she has seen many people who are more shameless than Dudayev, and it is really the first time she has seen such a clumsy acting skill as Dudayev.

After Learwin's apology, the next thing was naturally the guest of honor. Soon the two sides came to an agreement. MI6 will provide Dudayev with 50,000 pounds of financial support and will also give him a hundred rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition.

This price is not ordinarily high, and it also makes Dudayev regret it again and again: "If I knew that the British were so rich, then I should have been ruthless!" ”

Are the British wronged? At least not Learwin, at a time when his subordinates were questioning why they were giving so much money and support to a turtle. Li Erwen replied lightly: "This is the key reason why I am the leader, and you can only run errands." As for the money? The wool comes out of the sheep! ”

The so-called wool comes out of the sheep is actually very simple, and the British Empire is now a very big and dilapidated house, which is leaking everywhere, and it is stormy. It is true that they cannot afford to spend a lot of money on a turtle like Dudayev, but what if the British Empire does not spend money?

The British found one source of wealth, no, it should be two. The biggest financiers were the American imperialists, and the British, in the name of supporting the underground resistance in Western Europe, received a lot of money from the United States. Some of it was indeed given to the underground workers in Western Europe who resisted the Nazis. But the other part was secretly sent to Iran, and then transferred to religious extremists who hated the Soviet Union, secretly supporting their growth.

As for Learvin's statement that the wool comes from the sheep, it is another source of funds - Saudi Arabia. After Saudi Arabia discovered oil in 1938, it was no longer on the road of the oil boss's tyrant. When black gold made this barren and backward country rich overnight, like all nouveau riche, the oil princes wanted to show off.

How do you show off your money? Houses, cars, and girls are low-end, and the truly ambitious oil bosses are waving money and doing a big job - to make the whole world listen to Allah!

The Saudis, egged on by the British, embarked on a path of ideological export, began to support their brothers and relatives in a big way, and began to spread the teachings of Wahhabi schools widely. This is also known as wool coming out of the sheep. For the British, it's the Arabs who pay for it anyway, why not, anyway, there aren't many Muslims in the British Isles, so let the Russians have a headache!

This was a very cheap trick, and this trick was exactly what Liervan came up with, and her advice to Churchill was that in order to defeat the Nazis for the time being, we should not openly confront the Soviet Union. But soft confrontation and covert intrigues are indispensable. In the core region of the Soviet Union, it is difficult for us to do anything for the time being, but in the border areas of this country, there are a large number of national, religious, ethnic and border disputes, and provoking these contradictions and making the Soviet Union exhausted and drawing its attention is a good way to reduce the pressure on the empire!

Churchill agreed with Learwin's strategy, and believed that it was very much in line with the Empire's usual balancing measures, and that there was probably no other country in the world that could compare with the British Empire. Moreover, it is inexpensive to do so, and as long as it is done properly, it will definitely buy more time for the empire to recuperate.

Learvin was the commander-in-chief of this operation, taking the real money contributed by the United States and Saudi Arabia to open the way, she visited the large and small tribes on the Soviet border one by one, and soon succeeded in igniting a small flame, which really meant a spark...... (To be continued......)
