As a multi-ethnic army, there are still various contradictions within the Soviet army, for example, Armenia and Azerbaijan are feuding between the two countries, but the Soviet army will have soldiers from these two regions, and even serve together.

In addition, the Buryats, the Tatars, the Mongols, and various nationalities, there will always be a little friction, and when stationed, these contradictions are easily covered up by tedious military training and manual labor, but Afghanistan is in a war zone, there is no military training, and there is no endless tolerance, and the Soviet soldiers will enter a state of war after they wake up.

This kind of long perseverance is very painful for the Soviet soldiers, coupled with the imperfection of the personnel rotation mechanism, many Soviet soldiers have not even returned home after coming to Afghanistan, they can only rely on writing letters to their families to solve the problem, but the letters have to be reviewed, so they can only report good news and not bad news.

In fact, the top brass of the 40 Group Army also understood, but this was the case, and it was impossible for the Soviet Union to send more troops, and it was already the bottom line to ensure the existence of the 40 Group Army.

Now the Soviet army in Afghanistan has to face roadside bombs, rocket artillery, and suicide drones every day, especially those remote Soviet bases, and they have cultivated a tacit understanding with their Afghan compatriots.

Every morning, the Soviets would be woken up by the mortars of their fellow countrymen, and by noon, when they saw the rockets fall, they knew it was time for lunch, and in the evening, after watching the self-detonating drones whizzing to pieces by anti-aircraft guns, or falling into a valley and exploding into a fireball because of the poor handling skills of the Afghan villagers, they knew it was time for dinner.

And when they go out, passing by bridges, curves, and fields, they will either be attacked by cold guns or bombed by mines, so the Soviets have developed the habit of taking planes without taking the ground and turning around when they see a curve. ap.

Even some Soviet soldiers complained in private, saying that they were like the invaders under siege.

And in such a situation, it is not surprising that some soldiers from the Tajikistan region made some small moves.

Two Soviet soldiers from Tajikistan did not hand it in after picking up the leaflets, but hid them privately, and then, while going out shopping in the town, the two men actually exchanged their own sabers and water bottles for fifty dollars from the owner of the grocery store in the town.

Although the money was not much, it gave the two soldiers a taste of sweetness, and they spent a lot of money in the town, and even found Tajik workers for an in-depth exchange.

For various reasons, there are many Tajiks in this part of Afghanistan, and the north is basically the world of those people, so it is not surprising that there are such workers, and even workers from the Warsaw Pact can be found in Kabul, who also greatly relieves the pressure on the army soldiers.

But here's the problem, after Guan Bao's friendship, the Tajik soldier felt that the two were very compatible, and he wanted to live here every day, but the salary was limited, so he couldn't help but have other ideas.

At the beginning, he just secretly collected the bullet casings that the soldiers had shot, and this thing was also wanted by the Afghan villagers, because their handicraft workshops could reload bullets, Afghanistan was a poor place, and the local villagers' gun-making level was also very good.

Therefore, the craftsmen of the reloading bullet fellow are still very relaxed!

But the number of bullet casings is also limited, after all, the Soviet soldiers in the base do not fight every day, and if he deliberately collects bullet casings, he will also be noticed by others.

He doesn't want to be shot, he just wants to make money and be happy with his little sisters!

So, he set his eyes on his comrades' things, boots, bayonets, razors, radios, whatever he wanted, he sent them there.

After going there a few times, the soldier was stopped by the woman's family, who decided not to let the two marry because they saw that the soldier was so diligent.

This news is great news for the Tajik soldier, after all, he is the first benefactor, so there is nothing wrong with locking the bus!

But he didn't have money or anything

So, you can't marry a girl home with your lower body alone!

Seeing that his sweetheart was worried, this guy didn't stop doing it, and when he was eating, he stole the battalion commander's gold pocket watch, and then took it as a token of love.

And after stealing the gold watch and noticing that no one had found out about his bad intentions, this guy began to work on the facilities in the base again, the generator, the sapper's shovel and bicycle, also stealing, anyway, whether it was useful or not, he even stole two bags of rice and half a fan of sheep from the kitchen.

Until one day he was blocked by the company commander who checked the sentry, when this guy stuffed a twenty-pound gasoline drum in his bag, carried the bed board of the warehouse on his shoulder, and was about to run out of the gap in the camp.

The company commander didn't know what to say about this guy, the company's flashlights, batteries, and other messy sundries were all cleaned by this guy, and now he is eyeing the replacement bed board.

But fortunately, this guy is a little measured, he didn't resell weapons, and even his own rifle and bullets were put away properly, so there was no severe punishment, nothing more than a small black house confinement.

And those Afghans are not guerrillas, or some greedy local gentry, who sell the Soviets' sundries to ordinary civilians at a high price, even dare to charge the price of ten chickens for a flashlight, and even exchange the stolen bicycles of the engineer company for two acres of water.

In view of this situation, the Soviets did not punish the Afghans in any way, but only returned the wealth they had exchanged for to the local villagers, which was regarded as a wave of blood for the local tyrant squire.

But there was a first and a second time in this situation, the Tajik soldier was timid and did not dare to sell guns, which did not mean that others did not dare to sell them, and there was a case of arms theft in the Soviet troops stationed in the four northern provinces, and a soldier stole a PK machine gun and sold it to the locals for five thousand dollars.

Behind these events, it is inseparable from the Shadow Company, they recruited a lot of locals, to do business in various parts of Afghanistan, relying on the CIA's huge amount of exchange, the Shadow Company successfully used the crowbar of capital to knock on the doorhouse of the Soviet troops in Afghanistan, and began to do whatever they wanted.

This made the KGBs in Kabul very mad, after all, the other side was not to smuggle arms, or to disgust the Soviets, because the stolen guns and ammunition were even hidden in the homes of the locals!
