This time to set up a platform for the Russians, East Africa was not stingy, and successively sent enough arms to Afghanistan to arm 30,000 people, which is not a small amount, because Britain is currently stationed in Afghanistan with 30,000 or 40,000 troops, and the Afghan authorities have surrendered, so they withdrew some of them, but there are still about 30,000 people.

These 30,000 do not include the Indian servants, which are the British own son army, although this son seems to be very unhuman at home, but the British do not pick on their own people.

The British Army usually looks pitiful, it also depends on who it is compared with, and the funding is compared with its own Royal Navy, which is naturally a drop in the bucket, but compared with the armies of other countries in the world, the British Army also has a platoon, at least at the same level as several top powers in terms of weapons and equipment, so the British Army is pretending to be poor and is also a stupid son of the landlord's family, and the treatment of the armies of other countries may not be as high as the British.

Therefore, the British Army was ridiculed for its poor level, and it could also join forces with France to wrestle with Tsarist Russia in the Crimea, so there is no problem in fighting auxiliary, as long as it is not led by itself, just like the Boer War in the previous life, the Afghan war has lost face.

Because of East Africa, the first Boer War that was supposed to take place was gone, and Ernst did not know if the British and Boers would come again, and the Orange Free State, which had just been incorporated into Cape Town, was still in the honeymoon period of marriage with the British, and East Africa had no way to intervene.

However, the Boer War, Ernst thinks that it will happen again, after all, the British rely on sweet words, but their hands have already reached into the pockets of the Boers, which is like an old scumbag deceiving a simple little girl who does not want to be responsible.

Together with the Boers who returned to Orange from the Transvaal Republic, the overall strength of the Orange Free State is still strong, after all, the Boer base in Cape Town is relatively large, and Ernst drove out the Boers in the Transvaal Republic in the first place, which can be regarded as planting a mine in Cape Town.

……

Ilya looked at the Afghan resistance army that had suddenly become "rich", and his heart was indeed mixed, happy that the equipment was now sufficient, although it was a little backward, but it could still be used, and the worry was that the financiers behind Afghanistan did not provide much ammunition.

Looking at the sentimental Elijah, Mula asked, "Mr. Elijah, now that the equipment is sufficient, why don't you look very satisfied?" ”

Ilya shared her worries with Murati and said, "Although the weapons are sufficient, how can the problem of ammunition be solved?" You can't just fight a wave of war! In that case, even if they win, there is no ammunition replenishment, and the British can still successfully counterattack later. ”

Murat was not too worried, and he said to Ilya: "There is no ammunition, we can rely on seizure, and we can make gunpowder by the earthen method, and if we shoot it accurately, we can save some money." ”

Compared with the Tsarist Russian army, which was accustomed to a prosperous life, the Afghans were not picky eaters, and the problem of gunpowder was not big, that is, guns could also be made by hand, so they carried out large-scale manual repair of guns in East Africa.

Because it is free support, it is naturally impossible for East Africa to check the gun problem for Afghanistan, let alone repair it, although East Africa has this ability, but Ernst believes that the Afghans do not need it.

Iljah also thinks that there is some truth in the seizures mentioned by Murati, because in addition to the front-loading flintlock pistol, the most common weapon provided by East Africa is the British Enfield, which happens to be the same as the British army.

"And we can make gunpowder weapons by hand in Afghanistan, the British don't have this ability, and their weapons and supplies must be transported from the rear, so we can find a way to swallow these weapons and supplies."

Ilya also felt that this plan was very reliable, the British invasion of Afghanistan, said that it was not much better than going over the mountains, through Khyber, Gulham, Bolan Pass, etc. before entering Afghanistan, which shows the complexity of the terrain in Afghanistan, so it is definitely not a simple matter for the British to transport supplies from India to Afghanistan, not to mention the high cost and high risk.

Thinking of the desperate mountain roads in Afghanistan, Ilya said excitedly: "Leader Murati, you are a genius, we can use the advantage of the terrain to ambush the supply lines of the British, which is definitely very beneficial to your recovery of Afghanistan." ”

Murat had a different opinion: "No, our primary target is still Kabul, only when the flames of war in Kabul are rekindled, the Afghan righteous people who are dissatisfied with the British invasion will take action, if it is just a small fight, it will not hurt the British." ”

Ilya said solemnly: "Are you sure that your goal is to choose Kabul directly?" Kabul is not easy to fight, we have only accumulated so many troops who can use firearms in the past few months, what if they are exhausted? ”

"However, we still want to drive the British out of our land as soon as possible!" Murat said firmly.

As for fighting with the British for too long, Murat is not at ease, Murat is not worried about the British, but not at ease with his partner - Russia!

The British colonization of Afghanistan was indeed the primary problem, but Murat did not think that Russia was a good bird either.

And the Russians are more verbally supportive, if it weren't for the support of the "patriotic" rich businessmen, the resistance groups would not even have weapons, and the Russians would send a few people to try to make Afghanistan and Britain fight to the death, and then the British and Afghanistan will pick peaches after both defeats! Afghanistan is on the border of Russia, so it has to be guarded against.

Murat is still a bit far-sighted, he does not have a very good impression of Britain and Russia, and he also knows that it is not possible to rely on the strength of others.

Of course, in order to prevent Ilya from displeased, Murat added: "Of course, when we concentrate most of our forces on Kabul, we can also instigate our brothers in the south to attack the British supply lines. ”

However, Murat was a little worried, and after knowing that Murat wanted to attack Kabul, Ilya felt that this method seemed to be quite good!

Don't get me wrong, Ilya thinks that it is good not to say that it is good for Afghanistan, but good for his career, which is still related to Ilya's mission.

Ilya was ordered to make trouble for the British, not necessarily to help the Afghans win, because the Russians did not believe much in Afghanistan's ability to defeat the British, especially when they were too focused on the Ottoman Empire to take care of Afghanistan.

To make trouble for Britain, the problem in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, must be the most noticeable, and the problem in Kabul will soon be known in the country.

If you follow your own plan and attack the British supply line, although it is more secure, it is not conducive to your own fame!

Regardless of whether the Afghans attack Kabul succeeds or not, as the head of the area near Kabul, Ilya can add a strong resume to his resume, and maybe he can be promoted and transferred back home.

After all, the task is to find trouble, not to defeat the British, and there is no greater trouble than attacking the Afghan capital, and you will earn it anyway.

So Ilya immediately changed his words and said: "Leader Murati, you are right, Kabul is the political center of Afghanistan, and only by attacking and recovering there can it be more inspiring, so we still take the recovery of Kabul as the primary goal, and other things can be put aside for a while." ”
