From Arms Dealer To King of War

 Chapter 1406 The Changing Kandahar

What P·B did was like adding dirt to the grave of the Afghan regime in Kabul...

Chauga took away the Afghans who hated the Taliban the most, and the government forces around Kabul suddenly lost their barrier.

Boss Qiao cleared the way for the Taliban to take over Kabul, and at the same time gathered grassroots political forces in Kandahar that could compete with the Taliban.

 72 days. Only 72 days later, Kabul was occupied by the Taliban.

Afghan President Ghani rushed to Kandahar by helicopter, and then, under the protection of the British, flew to Europe on Boss Joe's plane.

Boss Qiao seems to be relaxed during this period, but in fact he is very busy.

  20 Super Tucanoes conduct high-frequency sorties to protect the retreating NATO soldiers and civilians in various places by attacking extremist elements similar to YSL branches in Afghanistan.

The two combined battalions were split. With Kandahar as the core, they slowly expanded outward in companies along the surrounding roads, building security and supply points one after another.

 Soldiers in the combined battalion suppressed the extremists who were ready to move, providing the Taliban with a relatively harmonious environment in the south, allowing them to accelerate the pace of integrating forces within Afghanistan.

 But these are simply not enough…

 Huge investment in manpower and materials can only stabilize some areas, and the Taliban are far less powerful than they boast.

When it came to the distribution of benefits, the Taliban immediately fell into the quagmire of a small-scale civil war.

The ownership of Aqiong Khan has not yet been finalized, but small-scale fighting has occurred around Kabul.

This is all related to a bunch of greedy bastards!

Jorga thought that the evacuation from Kabul was a mistake in the Pentagon's decision-making, but at this stage, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated the **** of those people.

In order to cooperate with the Pentagon's accounting, Boss Qiao did not hesitate to sign the supply list of military bases in Afghanistan.

Those things were supposed to be transported to Kandahar. However, the U.S. arms transfer plan was stopped more than halfway due to the deterioration of the internal situation in Afghanistan.

Huge amounts of arms thus became untraceable…

So far, the Taliban have not only received a huge amount of basic arms sponsored by NATO from the government forces, but also some of the advanced arms left behind by NATO. Their troops have been upgraded several levels in a row, turning from guerrillas into a regular army.

The Taliban simply could not digest these excess arms. In the context of their urgent need for funds, they naturally flowed into the market.

Peshawar, Pakistan, has suddenly become an advanced individual arms distribution center in the Middle East. As for the heavy firepower, it was resold to other places by a large group of people like Aaron and Sumani.

 Most of the funds obtained by the Taliban eventually went into Boss Qiao's pocket...

 Because only through Boss Qiao can the Taliban use the money to obtain supplies from the outside world at relatively fair prices.

P·B has actually become an important logistics support for the Taliban in stabilizing the situation in the short term, but most people working in Kandahar do not agree with Tali.

This situation is both funny and awkward, but it actually exists.

So much so that the ‘Mayor of Kandahar’ sent by the Taliban did not dare to say that he was a member of the Taliban. On the contrary, Judge Rashid performed extremely dazzlingly.

This guy used a set of tough methods to improve the security situation around Kandahar greatly.

Those "security police" riding motorcycles and carrying RPGs on their backs may behave amateurishly and roughly, but they do act "fairly and impartially" to a certain extent...

Two people were fighting in the street. The security police came up and beat them up, then forced them to hug each other and reconcile.

　　A thief who stole someone else's things would be beaten up if they caught him. Then he would be sent to a heavy labor construction site and asked to work to compensate the person who had been stolen from.

 Another issue is their attitude towards drug addicts. Currently, the problem of drug abuse among men aged 15 to 45 in Aqionghan is extremely serious.

When these security police catch drug addicts, they first beat them up severely. If the drug addicts can survive, they are sent to the solar power plant construction site in the southern desert to work on flattening the desert. They can only leave when they stop taking drugs.

Chauga watched Rashid's "chaos" all the way, and despite the criticism of many people, he stabilized the public security situation in Kandahar that should have been corrupted, and at the same time took away the blame for the public security that should have been borne by P·B.

The United Nations came with an observer team and a steering group. They could not question the choices made by Boss Qiao in Kandahar, so they began to look at Rashid or the Taliban's actions with a critical eye.

Judging from the results, the emergence of Rashid and even the Taliban has greatly improved the security in Afghanistan. There are no military leaders setting up cards for extortion along the way, there are no hundreds of criminal cases every day, and theft has almost disappeared...

 But according to the standards of United Nations professionals, the process by which Rashid and his colleagues obtained the results was completely unreasonable.

Chauga is a supporter of using heavy codes in troubled times, but he will never refute the political correctness of the United Nations for Rashid...

 After United Nations officials proposed systematic training for Rashid and his deployment, the Taliban security police, who were seen as violent and unprofessional in the eyes of Kandahar people, were immediately replaced by a group of smiling little black police officers.

Those enthusiastic Taliban security police were sent to the military base and began a long training process.

Boss Qiao's decision to cross a river and demolish a bridge to pick fruits made Rashid feel like he had eaten a fly. P·B gained a good reputation and at the same time completely stabilized the security issues around Kandahar.

When the chaotic affairs around Kandahar finally made some progress, Qiaojia walked out of P·B's management area...

After watching the last transport plane send away the last batch of NATO soldiers, he had the NATO part of the Kandahar Air Base opened.

 A military base the size of a small town is purely used for military purposes, which is extremely uneconomical in Boss Qiao's opinion.

 After NATO withdrew, a large number of contractors followed suit, and the vacant commercial facilities in the base were rented out to people from Jialiang Trading.

P·B itself has experience in commercializing military bases. Up to now, four military bases in Iraq have been transformed into trade centers, and they are still the most important logistics channels in Iraq.

Chauga is preparing to repeat this approach in Kandahar and Spinbuldak to commercialize military bases.

The P·B station is still a restricted area, but other areas will be converted into commercial areas and storage areas.

Jialiang trading people will fill these areas with goods. As time goes by and the trade routes mature, they will withdraw from direct transactions and hand over these businesses to the locals, who themselves will return to the role of suppliers. .

The Kandahar base under restructuring was noisy, but Boss Qiao, who was walking inside, was in a surprisingly good mood.

 Because Monica came to Kandahar with a heavyweight humanitarian medal for outstanding contributions issued by the United Nations.

 She was accompanied by Gemma Alexander, Princess Emina, Princess Charlene...

Except for Monica, in addition to sending blessings to Boss Qiao, everyone else also has to take charge of the protection of women's rights around Kandahar.

The most important one is to ‘bomb’ Justice Rashid, correct this guy’s machismo, and win some freedoms and rights for Afghan women.

Every time he saw the 'genius' Rasheed being bombarded by several high-ranking female leaders, Qiao Jia was particularly grateful for his wisdom.

With the current situation in Afghanistan, it is unrealistic to blindly refer to European and American standards. With productivity so lagging behind, when it comes to women’s liberation, let alone men, even local women have objections.

Boss Qiao's position is there. There are some things he can do but cannot say. There are some things he can shout loudly, but the specific implementation is light.

However, women’s issues are also an important criterion for the outside world to choke the Taliban’s neck. Boss Qiao must support these female adults...

Without Rashid, he would have had to bear this crime himself.

Boss Joe has done nothing else these days. He works in Monica's room at night and takes this radiant woman around during the day, setting an example by conveying his ideas to the people around the base...

 There is no point in locking women at home. Letting women give up their sack-like gadgets and take a few steps out openly not only shows the man's broadmindedness, but also fits the character and habits of the actual controller of Kandahar.

Monica enjoys the current feeling because she has boss Joe’s spare time all to herself.

Boss Qiao also enjoyed it very much, but this enjoyment did not last long and was interrupted by news from the outside world...

Moussa Suleiman, who came to Afghanistan with 200 million US dollars to "pay off his debts", received news that the drug lords in the Golden Crescent region were going to hold a collective meeting in the border city of "Zaranji" near Iran. , determines the development of Golden Crescent in the next few years.

And Boss Qiao finally broke away from the complicated basic affairs and returned to his favorite job...

The ongoing turmoil in Aqionghan continues, but Boss Qiao has been brewing a punch for a long time and finally found a place to release it...
