Dominate South Asia

Chapter 39 Huge Quagmire

"We just met yesterday. My first impression on Second Lieutenant Mhamad was very profound." Ball said, "You are a real warrior. We in the United States support warriors like Second Lieutenant Mhamad the most." ”

After speaking, Ball stretched out his hand and shook hands with Hamad.

The two hands were held together tightly, with smiles on their faces, as if they were friendly old friends.

It wasn't until two minutes that the two separated their hands. Hamad put his hand on his back and shook it twice hard. Holy shit, it hurt! This guy's hands are so strong!

At the same time, Ball on the opposite side also made the same move, with his hands behind his back, as if his mouth was still twitching.

"Come, Mr. Power, please sit down." Mushaaf said to Power with a smile, as if he didn't see anything.

When Ball turned around and took his seat, Hamad could see that the guy's hands were a little swollen. It seemed that his hands were stronger.

"We don't need to chat." Ball said: "I came here this time after receiving an order from the president. We have just developed the Stinger missile, and its performance is not very stable. I'm sorry that it cannot be provided to the Afghan guerrillas." Type anti-tank missile, complex to operate, afraid of swimming The guerrillas cannot control it. However, our CIA has obtained 300 RPG-7 through secret channels and can provide them all to your guerrillas. The RPG-7 can penetrate the main armor of the Soviet tanks and can also kill the deer. Beat it from the sky."

It is undeniable that the RPG-7 is a mature and simple weapon. This weapon can be seen in every war. However, this thing is only used in large quantities. As for the results, it cannot be compared with the poison. Compared with thorn.

RPG-7 is an uncontrolled rocket-propelled grenade. After being launched, it is in the process of inertial flight. Whether it can hit the target depends on the shooter's experience and the rest is to pray for God's blessing. To use the most familiar analogy, this thing is almost like clicking on a flying monkey.

To shoot down a Hind, you have to fire dozens of rockets. If you just fire rockets, forget it. The key is that after the shooter launches, if you can't shoot down the helicopter, you can only be killed by the helicopter. The helicopter is The natural enemies of infantry are as simple as an eagle catching a chicken.

Hamad was not willing to risk human lives to pay for it. Three hundred RPG-7s showed little sincerity.

"Mr. Ball, do you know what this war is happening in Afghanistan now?" Mhamad asked Ball.

After hearing Mhamad's question, Power said without hesitation: "The Soviets ignored international norms and brazenly invaded a sovereign country. This is a violation of the United Nations Charter. The international community has expressed extreme opposition to the Soviet Union, and Afghanistan The people, despite the strength of the Soviet Union, resolutely took up arms to defend their homeland. We in the entire West express support for the Afghan people. The guerrilla war of the Afghan people is just."

After hearing this, Hamad shook his head: "Mr. Power, politics is dirty, no matter how sacred it is, why doesn't your country support those wars in Africa?"

"Second Lieutenant Hamad, watch your words." Mushaaf said. Although Mushaaf is higher than the Ball in front of him in terms of military rank, Ball represents the United States, especially now. Ball is directly responsible to the President of the United States, reporting on the situation here and asking for support weapons. This person must not be offended. In order to support this guy, Pakistan even allowed this guy to open a bar on the street.

Hammad immediately lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Power, my words are not intended to offend the dignity of your country. I just want to say that the war in Afghanistan won the support of the Western world because of the Soviet Union. In essence, this is the Western The war with the Soviet Union was fought only through the hands of the Afghan people. Am I right?”

This was the first conversation between Ball and Mhamad. This meeting shocked Ball so much that more than ten years later, when Mhamad had become the overlord of one party and the United States As they drifted apart, Ball still attached great importance to Hamad. He was a powerful opponent with keen political insight.

Hamad is not only a soldier, but also has absolute political talent.

"For the Western world, as long as it helps the Afghan people and wins this war, it will win a victory against the Soviet Union." Mhamad said: "It is for this reason that I will be sent to Afghanistan. Help train the guerrillas there. However, this view is not entirely accurate. The meaning of the war in Afghanistan is far more than just defeating the Red Soviet Union. It has a deeper meaning!"

Mhammad glanced at Bauer. This guy was looking at him with a pair of glowing eyes. Mhammad couldn't help but feel satisfied in his heart. I don't believe that you can't be fooled.

What Mhamad relied on was not political sensitivity, but the knowledge of future generations.

The war in Afghanistan completely impoverished the Soviet Union, and poverty leads to change. Gorbachev wanted to reform, but it turned out that if he wanted to reform the economy, he had to reform politics first. This reform destroyed the Soviet Union. .

Without the war in Afghanistan, although the Soviet Union was destined to collapse, it would definitely have been able to survive for a few more years.

Even Musaaf was looking at Mhammad with spiritual eyes, waiting for Mhammad's next words.

"Afghanistan will be a huge quagmire. The Soviet Union, a giant, has put its feet into this quagmire and will not be able to get out. They will sink deeper and deeper. In the end, not only will they be unable to pull their feet out, It will also sink his entire body into it. This huge giant will gradually consume his energy in this quagmire. When he is exhausted, that is when he disappears." Mhamad made the decision. A vivid metaphor.

Hammad knew he had succeeded in persuading Ball.

Mhamad did not speak, and neither did Mushaaf. Both of them were thinking about the new ideas brought to them by Mhamad, a low-level second lieutenant officer.

"Now, the biggest threat to the Afghan guerrillas is the Soviet doe. During my guerrilla battle in Afghanistan, I constantly encountered the threat of the doe. In order to eliminate this threat, I will take risks. Entering the helicopter base in Jalalabad and killing the helicopters there, in order to continue the fight, the Soviets could only mobilize new helicopters from the country. The cost of a Hind was Five and a half million U.S. dollars, the loss of these dozen Hinds is more than 60 million U.S. dollars. How much crude oil must the Soviet Union export to replace these losses?" Mhamad said: "Such a tactic can only be carried out. Once, the Soviets will strengthen the defense of the base, and we will not have a second chance. If we have the Stinger, we can continuously kill the Soviet helicopters and cause the Soviets heavy losses."

"Modern war is all about the economy. When the Soviet Union's financial resources are completely consumed by the war in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union will find that the money it should have bought bread was used to build aircraft and was consumed. The citizens of the Soviet Union They will be dissatisfied with their current situation in life, and the Soviet Union will fall into a terrible dilemma. All this depends on how much damage the Afghan guerrillas cause to the Soviets on the battlefield in Afghanistan," Mhamad said: "We need. Stinger, requires TOW anti-tank missile.”

It seems that the effect of his deception was good. Hamad finally said to Ball: "Your Excellency, please tell our most trusted president, the Afghan guerrillas need Stinger and TOW anti-tank missiles. Your country only needs We only need to provide weapons, but the Afghan guerrillas dedicated their blood and lives for the same goal, to bring down the Soviet Union!”

"I will convey all these words to the president." Ball said: "You also know that our United States is a democratic country. To export these weapons, we must pass the votes of those in the congressmen. Sometimes the president is also very embarrassed."

"Mr. Ball, didn't you just say that the stinger is not mature yet?" Mhammad said.

Bauer found that his conversation with Mhamad had been following the other person's train of thought. In fact, he didn't originally come today. He just saw Mhamad last night and wanted to talk to Mhamad. De continues to communicate in depth.

"Second Lieutenant Hamad, we will talk about this later. Let's talk about the beautiful Ayesha next to you." Bauer said.

Ayesha? Did this guy know that Aisha was taken in by him for one night? The CIA is indeed all-pervasive.

Coming out of the headquarters, Hamad felt very relaxed. Although Ball wanted to ask the President of the United States for instructions, Hamad felt that the President of the United States should agree. Reagan, who was an actor, was very important in defeating the Soviet Union. expected.

When walking out of the headquarters, Mhamad stopped for a moment. Under the big tree on the street, a girl was standing there. When she saw Mhamad coming out, she had a smile on her face. .

"Aisha?" Mhamad saw the girl and immediately shouted: "Why are you here?"

"I forgot to tell you, the radio station is on vacation today and I don't have to go." Ayesha said, "I saw you coming in here in the room, so I have been waiting for you outside."

The guest house in the military area is not far from here, and Hamad did it for convenience. Who would have thought that this girl would see it.

Ayesha naturally took Mhamad's arm and said, "I'm hungry."

Hungry? Hamad said: "Okay, let's go drink milk tea."

Walking on the streets of Peshawar, Hammad felt the unique fragrance of the girl around him, which kept pouring into his nostrils. This feeling was like first love.
