Chapter 567: A New Job!
Although the huge benefits made Morgan understand Shepard, it does not become a reason for Shepard to escape responsibility, after all, the CIA is a huge organization, and it is responsible for other departments at the top, so if you want the CIA to carry this pot for them, it is definitely not enough to pay for it.
"So, what else do we want us to do, a coup d'état or an assassination?"
"Don't do that, do what you do best!"
"What do you mean?"
"Meaning, you're going to run for me next! Or can you go and explain to the Intelligence Committee for me why Chad's *** changed people, causing our thirteen million investment to go down the drain?"
"Well, in fact, it's not a waste, Habré's family made an unknown amount of 13 million by looting people's fat and ointment, and now the family has run away a few, and the rest have been beheaded by Chadians, so the money is useless!"
"Are those still two different things? Young man, if you do something wrong, you have to pay a price, and if you change my agent, a daring fellow like you, I will send him to Greenland to catch Soviet spies, and I can't catch the kind that will not be allowed to come back!"
Greenland is located at the junction of North America and Europe, connecting the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, because the whole island is cold all year round, it is a typical polar climate, so the population is not large, and it is not an important military stronghold, so naturally there are no Soviet spies, so to catch Soviet spies there, in disguise, is to exile Mobei, or go to Siberia for labor reform, go there, it means that the career has come to an end.
"So, what's the most important thing? The Soviets called?"
"Almost, I want you to go to Saudi Arabia!"
"Saudi Arabia?"
"That's right, Saudi Arabia!"
When it comes to Saudi Arabia, Shepard's first impression is that those big dog princes with a piece of cloth on their heads, compared with them, the so-called born in Rome is nothing, after all, the Romans may also become mules and horses, but the big dog princes, even if they are down, can still be rich.
Going out with 20 luxury cars and private jets, gilded elevator toilets, and raising lions and tigers as pets, it can be said that when it comes to the stereotype of Saudi Arabia, it is impossible to say in a day.
However, Shepard is not going to Saudi Arabia to serve the prince, this kind of good thing is not his turn, he is just a contractor expert in a whole team, and he is responsible for it, that is, to eat, drink, drink and eat.
As for what the team is going to do in Saudi Arabia, this matter has to start with a small incident that happened in 1979, and as for what it is, it is, of course, a small thing in Afghanistan, the nightmare place that the Soviet big brother will never forget in his life!
Since the Khrushchev era in 1954, the Soviet Union has been supporting Afghanistan vigorously, not only helping Afghanistan develop agriculture, but also building a large number of infrastructures, and then in 1973, the former Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, known as the Red Prince, Daoud, staged a successful coup d'état to turn the country into a republic.
But Daoud's subsequent reforms failed to help the country become rich and powerful, but rather offended all sectors of the country, from traditional rural Afghanistan to the Soviet-backed Afghan People's Party.
In 1978, the April Revolution broke out in Afghanistan, and the pro-Soviet Afghan People's Democratic Party (DPP) of Taraki came to power, ready to unswervingly let Afghanistan continue to follow the socialist road.
Although such a path is not wrong, but compared to his predecessor Daoud, Taraki, who served as the first leader, is quite radical, how radical, he is ready to complete the work that the Soviet Union has completed in 60 years in five years.
During the Daoud period, there was a lot of opposition in the country because of various unrealistic radical policies, and Taraki also learned from Stalin's purge, which led to a large-scale armed rebellion in Afghanistan, and Taraki could not put down the rebellion, so he could only ask the Soviet Union for help.
However, after considering the complex social environment in Afghanistan and the influence of deep-rooted religious beliefs, the Soviet Union rejected the request to send troops, and only provided a large amount of arms and food to the other side.
But what the Soviet Union did not expect was that
Not long after he returned to Afghanistan, Taraki was betrayed by his own government's second-in-command, Hafizollah Amin, who first eliminated Taraki while he was still discussing with the Soviets how to eliminate him.
Amin was not welcomed by the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union originally tried to unite with Taraki to bring down Armin first, but unexpectedly, Amin took the lead and killed Taraki.
The Soviets naturally refused to give up on this, because if Amin just carried out a coup d'état, as long as he did not threaten the Soviet strategy, then a little disgusting place, just endure it, but this guy also tried to resist the patriarchy of the Soviet big brother, prevent the Soviet Union from manipulating the intelligence agencies and secret police in Afghanistan, and prevent the Soviet Union from controlling its army, which really annoyed the Soviets.
Because the geographical location of Afghanistan is extremely important, involving the Soviet Union's southward strategy, taking Afghanistan, the Soviet Union can continue to control the ****, in order to control the Middle East and the Indian Ocean, threaten the Middle East oil-producing areas and encircle Europe in a roundabout way, and echo with its Pacific strategy.
And then, Amin was even more emboldened, and began to hook up with the Americans when there were Soviet troops stationed in the country, pulling and pulling, everything before, the Soviet Union could still endure it, but with such an obvious betrayal, the Soviet Union really couldn't bear it. Look at the book
Subsequently, under the order of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Senior Officer of the Soviet Army, General Akhromeyev, formulated several operational plans for invading Afghanistan, and then, Brezhnev, who was the Central Committee of the Soviet Union at the time, approved one of them, and the Soviet Union sent 100,000 troops to overthrow Amin and re-establish a stable pro-Soviet government in Afghanistan.
Subsequently, on December 27, 1979, the Soviet Union dispatched the 154 task force composed of various special forces elites to drive T62 tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns on the Shilka River to easily blast open the Dalarumman Palace where Amin was located, killing Amin, and then, the Soviet armored cluster that had been waiting for the border for a long time entered Afghanistan, and a tragic war broke out that no one expected!
After the outbreak of the war, the opposition of various countries swept like a wave, and even many Arab countries that belong to the same cultural circle spontaneously began to donate money and materials to support the Afghans and invaders in the fight, including the rich Saudi Arabia.
And the most active in aiding Afghanistan is, of course, the United States, the eternal adversary of the Soviets.
