Middle East Storm Chapter 754 China?Or the UK?

At noon on September 9, outside Kabul, the Dragon Army position.

Feng Yuxiang is checking the deployment of the Afghan army on the opposite side through the artillery observation mirror.The city is located in the eastern part of Afghanistan, at the southern foot of the Hindu Kush Mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides, at an altitude of 2000 meters, surrounded by mountains in a U-shape. City, the north bank is a new city.Due to this special geographical condition, as long as the Afghan army deploys enough troops on the surrounding mountains and controls the main commanding heights, it will be difficult for the dragon army to directly attack the capital. Under such terrain conditions, his armor The troops could only enter through the opening on the west side of the city, but the Afghans concentrated almost all of their direct-firing artillery and mines there. If they attacked by force, it would be no different from suicide.

"Old Song, what do you think we should do now?" Feng Yuxiang looked at the adjutant Song Zheyuan and said.

"The current situation is very unfavorable to us. Such an urban offensive and defensive battle requires an absolute superiority of troops and strong artillery support, but now we have neither of these, and the road is impassable, so that the follow-up troops and artillery cannot arrive in time. Although We have almost 12 troops in hand, but we are afraid that we will lose too much in the brutal street fighting. In my opinion, we might as well use Charikal's method again."

"What! Are you crazy?"

"This is a last resort. We drag on here. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, even if we don't die in the hands of the Afghans, we will face great trouble. We can only fight!"

"go out!"

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"You get me out!"

"We can't hesitate any longer!"

"Get out! I'm thinking about it again."

"Yes!"

One day passed, and since noon, Feng Yuxiang urged his troops to drive the infantry unit composed of temporarily captured Afghan men, and launched ten attacks on the Afghan government army positions, but almost every time he paid a heavy price. After paying the price, he was driven back. This is a city with a history of hundreds of years. There are a large number of ancient fortifications and forts on the hills around the city that can be used. As long as there are bullets and supplies, the Afghan army can be stationed here for ten years.

Feng Yuxiang has already lost 3 people. In fact, the loss of [-] Afghans is nothing to him, but it has a great deterrent effect on the Afghans. The mountain of corpses and blood on the battlefield has already caused the Afghans to start commotion Now, Feng Yuxiang understands that if such an attack is carried out one or two times, his troops may mutiny.

Feng Yuxiang paced back and forth in the headquarters in a hurry, Song Zheyuan came in with a disheartened face and said, "Commander-in-Chief, give an order, now we have to use chemical weapons, and it will be bad for us to delay."

Feng Yuxiang contemplated for a while, then shook his head, "This weapon can be used against small cities in Afghanistan, but Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan, so it must not be used rashly. We... we should call the emperor for a ruling."

Beijing, Old Summer Palace, Forbidden City.

When Xu Shichang, Wu Peifu and others came, Guan Xuqing was reading a book under the eaves. He casually glanced at the telegram Feng Yuxiang sent from the front, and immediately became angry. With a "snap", he threw the book on the ground and said angrily: Anyway, Feng Huanzhang is also a general that I value very much. How did he go through so many troubles in fighting a small Afghanistan? The last time I used chemical weapons against Charikal, I haven’t settled for him yet, but this time I will use them again against Kabul ,Is he crazy?"

Xu Shichang hurriedly took two steps forward to comfort him and said: "Please calm down, the terrain of Afghanistan is complex and the climate is dry, which has greatly affected the operations of the Dragon Army. Unlike India's plain operations, our tanks, chariots and artillery It is difficult for weapons to reach the front line, and armaments and supplies can only be transported by horse-drawn carts, and our nearest military airports are all on the western border of India, it is difficult to carry out a real cluster attack, and the cavalry in Afghanistan are elusive, and infantry cannot stop them from effectively The attack, the hired Afghan cavalry is a bunch of stragglers, so..."

Guan Xuqing listened quietly, took a look at the military map of Afghanistan from Wu Peifu's hand, and then his face softened a little, and said: "If you can't make a strong attack, you can outsmart it. There are many ways to fight. Can the enemy fight hard? Now that Kabul is at stake, and the Afghans are not fools, it is absolutely necessary for us to use psychological warfare. loan!"

"twitter!"

Guan Xuqing suddenly thought of something, and said: "I heard that Zhang Zuolin has tricked that inexperienced Afghan princess into a trick. You can think of a way to start with that princess. Remember, the siege is the next step. It’s about attacking the heart.”

"twitter."

Afghanistan, Kabul.

This day was definitely the most anxious day for Prince Mahmud in his life. He prevented the Afghan people from resisting the enemy's attack ten times, but he couldn't feel the joy of victory at all in his heart. Looking at the soldiers injured in the war , but became more and more heavy, can I hold on to Kabul?He himself did not have the confidence to answer this question.The reason why the enemy's repeated attacks failed was because of Kabul's solid city defenses and the unique impact advantage of the Afghan cavalry, but once the enemy invaded the city, these advantages would disappear, and Kabul would even be bloodyly cleaned.But there are countless Afghans looking at me behind my back, and I can't give up no matter what.

The thought of the British made him gasp. The British officer Fraser said beautifully, saying that the British army would march westward in a big way to help the Afghans resist Chinese aggression. Not at all, but then again, the British were beaten badly by the Dragons in the Indian War, would they risk fighting the Chinese again for a little Afghanistan?Won't!

Just when Mahmud was thinking wildly, an unexpected guest came suddenly. This person was the Chinese female officer who escorted the princess back to China a few days ago.When we met for the first time at the airport, Mahmud felt that this woman was unusual and her identity was secretive. He never revealed anything about himself. Unexpectedly, I was planning to investigate again when I had a chance, but I was busy with the defense of Kabul these days, so I forgot about it.

"Hello, dear prince! First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Jin Bihui, a captain-level agent of the Chinese Security Bureau. This time, I have something very important to discuss with you." The Chinese female officer finally showed her real identity.

"Jin Bihui?" Mahmoud recalled, but had never heard of this name. "Miss Jin, I haven't had a chance to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for escorting Mayisa back to China safely. Recently, it was an eventful time in our Kingdom of Afghanistan. I don't have time to entertain you. Please forgive me." Mahmoud said a hidden needle.

Jin Bihui smiled lightly and said: "You are too polite, Your Majesty the King, it is my blessing to serve you and the Afghan people. I am here to convey the opinion of the imperial military."

"Oh?" Mahmud immediately became vigilant, and had vaguely guessed the other party's intention, so he said calmly: "Although the current situation is very unfavorable to Kabul, I, my king, and all the Afghan people will definitely Hold on until the last minute, we will use all our strength to drive the invaders from the land of Afghanistan."

Jin Bihui smiled, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Aggressor? I'm afraid the prince has not yet identified who is the real invader. Excuse me, for many years the British have been rampant on your land, robbing your resources, oppressing your people, you Why ignore it?"

Mahmud frowned and said, "Because we are friends..." But this was a bit lacking in confidence.

"What a friend, but our Chinese definition of a friend is not like this at all. If you are friends, the British shouldn't hide in their own defense zone at this time, watching Afghanistan fall into the siege of war , if you are friends, they should spare no effort to help you, but the British side only provided you with a little munitions, not even as much as ours. Then again, if China wants to be your enemy , will it be easy to send your daughter back to China? Will it still provide you with so many strategic materials?"

"Hmph, so China is the party of justice?" Mahmud said with obvious sarcasm.It is false to say that it is not in a hurry. Although Kabul is still in the hands of the Afghan government forces, no one can guarantee that it will be in whose hands for a minute. In order to stick to the honor of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, Mahmud these two days He had secretly executed hundreds of nobles and officials who proposed to surrender, and if he continued like this, he was really afraid that there would be a large-scale rebellion in the country, and he was afraid that even if he wanted to be a puppet of others, it would be impossible.

"Yes!" Jin Bihui raised his voice and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of our country is willing to send troops to help the Afghan government stabilize the domestic situation and eliminate the British and French invaders. As long as the Afghan government can adopt a friendly attitude, the dragon army outside the city will immediately stop attacking and fight with Afghanistan. The people rushed to the British and French bases together to wipe out the foreign forces entrenched in Afghanistan once and for all. In addition, the Imperial Army Ministry has made a resolution to form the Afghan Corps from the Indian garrison to go to Afghanistan at any time to help your country stabilize the domestic situation.”

The muscles on Mahmud’s face were trembling, and his heart was inevitably moved. Afghanistan is a weak country, and a weak country cannot have dignity in front of a strong country. The original British government was only forced to admit that Afghanistan had gained political Independence on the ground, but that is only a formality. The British garrison in Afghanistan continues unabated, and it holds the lifeline of the Afghan economy. For Afghanistan now, it is meaningless to obtain any form of independence. The top priority It is all about finding a path that is most beneficial to the country among the big countries.

Middle East Storm Chapter 755 Fate is in the hands of a few

Mahmud said with a sneer: "You are helping our country to wipe out the British army. You just want to replace them in Afghanistan and become the new colonial ruler of Afghanistan, right?"

Jin Bihui smiled and said: "You can understand it this way, but there is an essential difference between the two. The emperor of the empire meant that Afghanistan, like India, would join the Greater China Federation, and it would be under the protection of the empire's wings forever. You can see Looking at India now, after the fall of the Nehru regime, India’s economy has developed rapidly with the support of the empire. In just two or three years, the economy has surpassed the pre-war economic level, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Afghanistan is the channel connecting the Far East and the Middle East , Geographical location is very important, once you join the Greater China Federation, I believe the development prospects are even much better than India."

Mahmoud's mind has been shaken, but on the surface he still deliberately put on the majesty of a prince, and said with a cold face: "Joining the so-called Greater China Federation is nothing more than making Afghanistan lose its national and national freedom. Even if I agree, my The people will not agree!"

Facing this stubborn old man, Jin Bihui didn't mean to be angry at all. He still smiled and said: "Dear Prince, you are well versed in politics. The current situation is that no matter whether you and your people agree or not, it will not change the situation in Afghanistan. The fate of being completely occupied by the dragon army, does the slogan you preach to lead the Afghan people to fight to the last drop of blood make sense? There are two paths before you, one is to be included in the sphere of influence of the empire like India , flourish from now on, and will not be harassed by foreign races again, and second, the country will be destroyed like Japan, and the entire country and nation will disappear from this earth!" At the end, Jin Bihui's tone was already extremely stern.

Mahmud secretly took a deep breath. He still has lingering fears about the destruction of Japan in World War II. At the beginning, he never thought that the Chinese emperor would have such courage to completely wipe out a country and race. No, Afghanistan does not want to be the second Japan now and in the future!

Jin Bihui's tone softened again and said: "I think anyone with a brain would not choose the road of Japan, even your heroic Afghan people are not willing, even their lives are lost, so what about national freedom?" .China is one of the most powerful countries in the world today. Britain is just an old economic power. The Victorian era has long since ended. You should be very clear that many Sino-British wars in modern history have ended in the failure of the British. " Having said that, Jin Bihui moved his face closer to Mamood's side, and said in a low voice: "Prince, the greatest law in this world is neither nation nor country, but money. Whoever has money can rule the world, and whoever Can turn the clouds upside down, Afghanistan has been impoverished for hundreds of years, and the people live a life of starvation. Will this situation continue? No. In this world, only China can make the Afghan people rich and give the Afghan people Provide long-term and stable protection, unless you personally do not want to accept such an outcome, and I believe that all Afghan people are willing to accept it.”

Mahmud was about to speak, but Jin Bihui didn't give him a chance at all, and continued: "Furthermore, His Majesty the Emperor has made a promise that after joining the Greater China Federation, the current Afghan government will still be retained, and you can still be your uncle, even It will also be reused by the empire. Where to go, I hope you must think about it, for the life and death of all Afghans, for your king, and for your beautiful and lovely princess."

Mahmud was moved by the opponent's eloquence, soft and hard. If he had to choose between the two backers of Britain and China, he would certainly choose the latter, but only because of the Chinese female agent in front of him. The words can't completely reassure him. Could this be a trick of the Chinese, who first offered all kinds of attractive conditions to make the Afghan government submit, and then adopted a bloody policy of repression and massacre after successfully seizing the Afghan regime?As a military de facto figure in Afghanistan, Mahmoud had to think carefully about this.

Jin Bihui seemed to see Mahmud's worry, so he said: "The prince seems to be a little worried, right? You don't quite believe my words?"

Mahmoud blushed and said, "This is a major issue that concerns the fate of all Afghan people. Of course I have to be cautious. You have said very well, but do you have any practical ways to turn what you said into reality? "

"Of course." Jin Bihui smiled: "If you and your king don't believe it, there is a best way to solve this problem."

Mamood raised his eyebrows and said, "What way?"

"The marriage of two countries!"

"I do not quite understand you……"

"If you marry your beautiful and lovely princess to His Majesty the Emperor, then all the unresolved problems will be solved."

"What? What did you say?" Mahmoud suddenly became manic. He couldn't believe it was true. Marriage to the Chinese emperor was something he couldn't even think about. Jin Bihui said such words, It made him feel that the other party was deliberately teasing him, and said with a sullen face: "Miss Jin, I respect you, and I hope you can maintain the minimum respect for me. This doesn't seem to be the time to joke."

Jin Bihui laughed and continued: "Do I look like I'm joking? You should think about it, when the two countries were at war, why did the imperial agents capture your princess to India and release it back safe and sound? Why did they give it to you?" Is it all a coincidence that my daughter wears an incomparably exquisite dress?"

Mahmud's heart was pounding, could it be true, could it be true?The emperor of China is the most powerful figure in the world today. Is it really possible for his own daughter to be his wife?If that is the case, Afghanistan will be closely tied to China's interests from now on, and the fate of Afghanistan will undergo a qualitative change.But at this moment, he was still unwilling to believe Jin Bihui's words, so he tried his best to hide his inner excitement, saying: "I would rather believe that this is not true, that the majestic emperor of the Chinese Empire would be willing to marry an Afghan princess? Anyway, I don't believe it. And...and...I have always loved my daughter the most, and I must ask for her opinion on this matter. "

"Father, you don't need to ask for my opinion. As long as His Majesty the Emperor of China is willing, I will naturally." While speaking, Ma Yisha was already wearing the exquisite red gauze worn by the queen of ancient Egypt, and walked in slowly. "Miss Jin has explained everything to me. It's all true. It depends on what you want."

Ma Mood was stunned for a moment, his mouth was wide open, unable to speak. It turned out that the Jin Bihui in front of him appeared to be escorting the princess back to the country, but in fact he had already persuaded the princess. Falling into the mist, maybe this is a trap, but the temptation of this trap is too great, no matter who you are, you can't help being tempted!He looked at his daughter for a while before saying: "Mayisha, if this is true, would you like to go to far away China?" Mahmud is still a little worried.

Mayisa didn't hold back at all, and said generously: "I am willing, it is the honor of every Afghan girl to be married to His Majesty the Great Emperor of China, and through our marriage, the Afghan people can live a happy life from now on. , to make our nation richer. China is a responsible big country, and the Chinese emperor is a reasonable monarch, who is many times better than those hypocritical British people."
