Chapter 675: It's better to put it together
Almost all of the leading members of the Afghan National Resistance League are gathered in Pakistan, and they come from nearly 30 different forces, covering almost all ethnic groups and regions in Afghanistan.
Of course, not all of these resistance forces are worth mentioning, in fact, there are less than five or six that can control the right to speak in them, such as the peasant alliance and the former warlords from the north, the ultra-national forces in Kandahar in the south, and the religious student alliance from the man.
These forces can control the right to speak, on the one hand, they have a large enough territory to provide enough troops, and in addition, they also have a very powerful gold lord's father.
For example, the CIA is the backroom behind the Northern Alliance and the warlords, the Saudi Arabians are behind the religious student alliance, and the extremist ethnic groups in the south are supported by people in Pakistan.
As for the Shadow Company, he has nothing to support, he is just a supplier of weapons and a training provider for these forces.
Shadow directly followed the South African model, cooperated with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Agency, established a large training camp in Quetta, Pakistan, and then opened a training school here to provide various professional military technical training for various forces.
Whether you are a ruffian, a former professional soldier, or a farmer who has just put down his hoe, as long as someone pays enough for tuition, you can get a green school uniform made of extremely ugly references to the basketball vests of later generations made by the local textile industry in Pakistan and a prototype, ah no, a schoolbag made of second-hand Type 55 grenade bags.
In addition, there is also the aluminum lunch box ordered, although it is thoughtfully affixed with a Pakistani flag, but the words printed are Chinese characters.
The training camp is held every three months, and the basic subjects include infantry skills and tactics, civil engineering, demolition, fighting, etc., although the level of the members is uneven, and the learning ability is strong and weak, but under the excellent education level of the instructors of the Shadow Company, the students can still graduate smoothly.
And this is inseparable from the two magic weapons in the hands of the instructors, whips and rice spoons, disobedient students will first have no food to eat, not allowed to sleep, if there is confrontational behavior, then eat whips, if this is not enough to make the other party progress, then the instructor will sacrifice the last trick, call parents!
These students may not be afraid of others, but their respective leaders will definitely be afraid, so once such a situation occurs, then the guy who is called the parent is bound to suffer, and if he does not die, he will have to shed his skin, so the Afghan villagers would rather be trained to die or live in the training camp than dare to call the parents.
Moreover, in fact, the graduation level of the training camp is still very broad, that is, the villagers are qualified to shoot three shots on the standard chest target of 100 meters in a lying position, dig a pit that can hide in adults is considered to be qualified in civil engineering, and if they can not let the explosives explode in their hands, they are considered qualified for blasting.
Only God knows how much combat effectiveness the trainees trained in this way can have, but what does this have to do with the training camp, anyway, what the Resistance Alliance needs is a cannon fodder who can shoot, then these are enough!
In addition, the Shadow Company has a military staff board of former generals and colonels from the army who will conduct military planning for the paid resistance, including how to pick targets, how to launch attacks, etc.
And now, they are contributing to a joint action of the entire Afghan resistance.
And the first step in planning is to give the plan a nice name.
In Japanese police film and television dramas, you can often see a group of *** people who are troubled by the name of the special search operation composed of major cases, and this situation is also in military operations, such as now, for this name, everyone also wants to break their heads.
The financiers of Saudi Arabia want to make this name sound sacred, what *** sword, the spear of Allah, the CIA advisers feel that it should have something to do with time, it is better to call it the August storm, the Afghan villagers are not highly educated, so they are more superstitious, and they want to call the landslide, the earth moving, the big collapse, the cataclysm.
In the end, the two sides failed to convince each other, and as a last resort, the big financiers of Saudi Arabia could only propose that it was better to combine everyone's names.
Thus, the August Storm Allah's Sword Cataclysm was launched.
In fact, there was no specific plan for the operation, because when the time comes, everyone will fight whatever they want, and they will not pick a target, and tens of thousands of resistance organizations will rise up in various places to echo each other, and the whole family will be in a wave of tricks against the Soviets.
According to the Resistance's vision, this wave of action was bound to be echoed, and civilians from all over the country would join it, and once a chain reaction was created, the Soviets would be exhausted and exhausted, and the resistance would be able to easily retake the city and drive the enemy out.
Considering that the resistance forces do not yet have an obvious leader, several major resistance forces have even agreed that the first to enter Kabul will be the caliphate.
As soon as the plan was drawn up, the Resistance began to prepare, the first thing to empty was the Shadow Company's reserve warehouse in Quetta, where the Resistance transported about a million rounds of ammunition and 6,000 rockets, in addition, there were about 10,000 halal-flavored individual rations, which were actually compound grain energy bars, and better individual rations Afghans really couldn't afford to eat.
But those grain bars can be used as a substitute for food rations like scones, which are very much needed by the guerrillas who have to travel through the mountains.
And the Saudi side, which pays for this, is also quite interested, because of the poor combat effectiveness and image of the Saudi army, therefore, the military needs this modern-looking thing very much to equip the troops, because in this way, at least on paper, the combat effectiveness of the Saudi army is improved.
Within a few weeks, the weapons and ammunition would enter Afghanistan through various channels and then be distributed to the armed forces everywhere.
In addition to this, the Americans have also recruited a group of mercenaries with Middle Eastern characteristics, hoping to help the Afghans improve their combat effectiveness.
In short, all parties were preparing for the day when the operation would be launched, not only for the Afghans, but also for the Soviets.
The pervasive Soviet intelligence services also knew about the operation for a long time, and even had photos and locations of the training camp in their hands, but because they were too deep into Pakistan, the Soviets did not send out to bomb them.
But the Soviets were ready to fight back against the attacks that the national resistance was about to launch.
