Chapter 219： Afghanistan

Afghanistan has never stopped in modern times. The sadness of Afghanistan lies in its geographical location, which is on the main traffic road between east, west, north and south. Every powerful country wants to hold this traffic in its hands and make it its own territory.

As for the woolly bears in the north, a large area of ​​​​the country is in high latitudes, and they hope to go south. At the beginning, Tsar Peter the Great once set a goal for his descendants: to advance south to Constantinople and India , rule there, rule the world! When Russia has free access to the Indian Ocean, it can establish its own military and political **** all over the world!

In the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Tsarist Russia and Britain nearly fought a war for Afghanistan. After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union, after healing the scars of World War II, also began to look to the future. In the 1950s, Afghanistan and Pakistan had serious disputes over the Pashtunistan issue, and war between the two countries was about to break out. The Soviet Union found an opportunity to express its firm support for Afghanistan's position on this issue, and suddenly pulled Afghanistan into the arms of the Soviet Union.

Unfortunately, although the relationship between Afghanistan and the Soviet Union entered a short honeymoon period at that time, this was not a country that was easily manipulated by others.

The Soviet Union planned a coup and wanted to put up a puppet. However, it will soon be discovered that the situation in Afghanistan cannot be solved by a puppet. The contradictions in Afghanistan are too complicated. Only the Soviet Union personally occupied Afghanistan to solve it!

According to history, the real war will not be launched for two years. But now, wily politicians are starting to plan ahead.

Andre, who came from later generations, knew that this was a bad move. Now, since Andrei has been able to have a relationship with the top management, the benefits must be explained clearly, even if it makes Andropov unhappy!

This is just a daily routine, and it was not discussed at the ********. Andropov was only used to test Andrei's strategic insight, and he did not expect that Andrei would think more deeply. .

"Right now, our relationship with Afghanistan is a bit stiff. The deterioration of the situation in Afghanistan has caused our concern. I think the situation in Afghanistan will definitely become more and more unfavorable for us." Andre said.

Andropov is very satisfied. Although Andrei is in the Far East, he still pays attention to more places, such as South Asia. Andrei has noticed the problem in Afghanistan!

"Andrei, how do you think we should deal with the Afghan problem? If there is a situation that goes against us, should we use our force to solve the Afghan problem, just like the island countries are now?" Andropov asked.

The Soviet Union successfully occupied the northern part of Hokkaido, which made the Soviet high-level very excited. Therefore, when the military needs to intervene in the internal problems of Afghanistan, this has begun to be considered within the high-level.

"No, absolutely not." Andrei's words surprised Andropov for a while.

"The situation in Afghanistan is different from that of the island countries." Andre said, "The people of the island countries, the Yamato people of the main ethnic group, are very servile. As long as we beat them, they will obey us incomparably. You see now, We have occupied Hokkaido for a few months, and the islanders in our territory honestly accept our rule without any fart. However, Afghanistan is different. There are many tribes in Afghanistan, with prominent contradictions, the biggest Push The population of the Tu ethnic group does not account for half of the population of the entire country. Such a country is inherently unstable, and the people there are also inherently belligerent. We will succumb to foreign forces, and if we use Hokkaido-like means to solve the Afghan issue, we will definitely fail.”

Andrei said with certainty. After these words were finished, he looked at Andropov. At this time, the old man's face was uncertain.

We cannot use force to solve the Afghan issue, otherwise, we will fail!

If it were another person, a young man in his twenties, who said that he would lose in Afghanistan, then Andropov would definitely think that this is a lunatic, the Soviet Union, with tens of millions of troops! The power that makes the whole world tremble fights an Afghanistan, but still can't take it down? Will it fail for sure?

However, it is Andre who is speaking. This young man has shown amazing talent. In terms of tactics, he can fly fighter planes and participate in front-line air battles. In terms of strategy, his proposal to attack Hokkaido from Kushiro has proven to be the most correct. The choice, let the Soviet Union occupy the northern part of Hokkaido at the least cost!

Is it really that hard to fight Afghanistan?

"The biggest factor limiting us is logistics." Seeing that Andropov disagreed, Andrei continued: "We are attacking Hokkaido from the sea now. The four eastern islands of Hokkaido and the northern Sakhalin Island, The Primorsky Krai in the west is our territory, and it is easier for us to attack from any direction. But what about Afghanistan? Pakistan in the east, Iran in the west and south, we can only attack from the north, and there, It happens to be a mountainous area. The mountainous area is a good place to fight guerrillas. As long as a small group of Afghans is active there, it will cause considerable trouble to our logistical supplies, and air transportation of supplies can not provide enough supplies. The cost of combat has increased significantly.”

In later generations, the United States also has Pakistani bases that can be used, while the Soviet Union can only use it from the north, where the long Hindu Kush Mountains are limited by logistics. The Soviet Union's troops entering Afghanistan have always been ten. With a scale of around 10,000 people and a huge army, it simply cannot exert its advantages.

Andre knew that he had to do his best not to let such a thing happen! Although my current strength is still very small, I must do my best!

The first step to reversing history is to convince Andropov in front of him. Ustinov and others all support this plan.

"And, if we want to go south, we don't necessarily need to go from Afghanistan." Andre said: "After all, we have three routes to choose from."

At the beginning, Peter the Great envisioned three routes for Russia to go south for his descendants: one was from the Black Sea through the Bosphorus in Turkey to the Mediterranean Sea; the second was from the South Caucasus through Iran to the Persian Gulf; the third was From Central Asia via Afghanistan to the Arabian Sea.

Afghanistan's route is the shortest, but the most pitiful.
