Chapter 739: Three Goals

@@@@@@

A huge explosion rose from the barracks on the west side of the palace, and black mushroom clouds rolled up with waves of blood. Bricks, sand, stumps, and blood continued to roll down from the black clouds, and the blast of air swept hundreds of squares. This is the lethal effect of a 500kg aerial bomb caused by a ghost car dive bomber (1200 hp air cooled), and the terrifying power completely shatters the confidence of the Amanullah Guards. At the same time, the airspace above the airport in the north was also very busy, and a Yun-9 had just landed and unloaded its soldiers, and then rose from the ground, converging and flying northward in the sky. ""The fastest update, full text hand-typed

When two planes of soldiers roared into the city and rushed to the palace with 11 captured Soviet BT26 tanks, it was announced that Kabul had changed hands again after nine years.

The news of the successful landing in Kabul was quickly sent by radio to the Andijan substation of the Northwest National Defense Communications Center, and then along the national defense communications cable that cost hundreds of millions of yuan to build into Urumqi and Baotou, and finally to the Ministry of National Defense in Xishan, Beijing. At this time, it was already afternoon in the city of Beijing, and the crisp telephone ringing broke the dullness and brought the presidential palace, the Ministry of National Defense, and even the entire country into the whirlpool.

When Yang Qiu and Wang Zhengting jointly arrived at the War Conference Room of the Ministry of National Defense, it was already full of people. Ignoring the saluting soldiers around them, the two immediately grabbed Song Ziqing, didn't even pay attention to the overflowing excitement around them, and asked, "How is the situation?" Was there any success? "Baidu Search" "See the latest chapters."

Song Ziqing was also excited, no soldier wanted to die of illness, and when another military era kicked off, he couldn't stay calm anymore. The hanging left hand clenched into a fist, and after saluting the president and the prime minister, he raised his chin slightly: "Report to the president, at 5:17 a.m. Afghanistan time, the commando team successfully landed at the airport. At 5:50 a.m., the airport is basically in control! Seven o'clock sharper finished on the siege of the palace, twenty minutes before the telegram said. Amanullah and their families are all in our hands! ”

"Well done!"

The report was written neatly and clearly, so that Yang Qiu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and raised his right hand into a fist above his head. The officers in the room were all infected by this action, and they high-fived each other and applauded loudly. It was an Eben-Emar victory! Its significance not only proves that after 26 years of development, the National Defense Force has initially possessed the ability to coordinate overseas operations as accurately as a machine, but also allows China to once again regain the initiative in the situation in Afghanistan!

Many people don't understand why tiny Afghanistan is so important and why people are so reluctant to give up. In fact, just look at the map of Asia and you will understand how important this country is known as the crossroads of Asia! To the north is the dividing line between China and the Soviet Union for hegemony, to the south is the oil-rich Ganges plain of India, and to the weak but oil-rich Arabia. To the west are Turkmenistan and the Caspian Sea. To the east is China! It is no exaggeration to say that this is the true heart of Asia, and whoever controls it has the right to freely choose its Asian strategy! For mainland countries like China and the Soviet Union, this is a strategic place that must be contested!

Now, the initiative is in Beijing! Nader Shah's defection and Amanullah's arrest mean that Afghanistan's two most influential real power factions are in one fist, no matter who wants to meddle in Afghanistan in the future. We must weigh China's influence.

"As of now, a total of two gliders have been lost, and two more have been damaged when they were towed away on landing. The assault battalion suffered a total of 37 casualties, of which 13 were killed. A total of 323 Soviet soldiers were killed. 1,197 people were captured, 287 Amanullah puppet troops were killed, and 3,154 were captured! "Deputy Chief of the General Staff Zhu Depei stood in front of the map. The first "company commander" of the National Defense University relied on his own efforts and talents after 25 years in the army. Finally knocked on the door of the General Staff. His voice was loud and could be heard clearly from every corner: "The vast majority of the puppet army in Kabul at present has laid down their arms, after ensuring the safety of their person and family members. Amanullah has promised to persuade his troops to surrender to us. Now the Northwest General Command is seizing the time to transport troops to Kabul, and it is expected that all three regiments will be transported by sunset, and the total number of garrisons in Kabul will reach 20,000 in three days!

The airborne battalion captured more than 50 artillery pieces of various types, 221 machine guns of various types, 11 tanks, as well as three planes and a large number of weapons and ammunition in the arsenals of the Soviet army and Amanullah, and the preliminary estimate can make an infantry division hold out for at least a month! Judging from the telegrams sent back by the reconnaissance planes, the Soviet troops deployed near the Hindu Kush Mountains have responded, and at least one regiment is on the way back to help, and the air force is already bombing and intercepting them. The Soviet forces in Kunduz and Baghlan are still being pinned down for the time being, and the Soviet forces in Kandahar and Herat have not yet reacted. ”

"This regiment must be defeated!" Zhang Xiaozhun next to him shouted: "The Afghan Northern Army and the Asian Brigade have begun to attack Baghlan and Kunduz. The news of the fall of Kabul will certainly reach Moscow tomorrow at the latest, and Stalin will certainly order reinforcements. Only by eating this regiment will Amanulla's puppet army be demoralized, and unless two divisions of the Soviet army in Kunduz and Herat can fly over, they will only be able to watch Nadir Khan ascend to the throne. ”

Yang Qiu nodded.

Speaking from the heart, at the cost of only 37 casualties in exchange for Kabul, in exchange for the initiative to grasp the crossroads! This special airborne operation can already be recorded in the history of world warfare, even if the future Eben Emar Fortress Assault Battle, both in scale and strategic significance will be incomparable. Seeing Chen Guofu, Gu Weijun and Wang Zhaoming walking in, he beckoned them to sit down, then took a breath to calm his heartbeat, returned to his usual calm tone, and asked, "When will Nadir Shah and Amanullah come?" ”

According to the plan, Nader Shah would go to Kabul the morning after tomorrow to announce his inauguration as the new king, and then fly to Beijing in the afternoon. Amanullah's family will fly to Beihai first, and when Nadir Shah is gone, we will take him to Harbin for a temporary stay. ”

Song Ziqing said the plan. Although Amanullah was arrested, his identity is still very sensitive, and he can deter all factions in Afghanistan if he is in the back of his head, and anyone who has a backbone in his head can immediately pull him out and re-support him.

"Have you figured out what's next?" A faint voice swept away the excitement. The victory had passed, and the rest of the matter was more critical, so Yang Qiu looked at Yue Peng, chief of the General Staff. When the latter saw his gaze, he immediately replied: "The Soviet Union will definitely not be reconciled, this is no longer as simple as military defeat." Behind the German-Italian intervention in Spain was the acquiescence and support of Britain, France and other countries, indicating that everyone began to curb the expansion of GCISM. Before that. The only way Moscow can ensure an unimpeded export of the revolution is Afghanistan, Iran, and the Indian Ocean. Now that Kabul is under our control, it is equivalent to cutting off the safest road, and if they don't take it back, then it will be a joke to talk about starting a world revolution.

So I think that Stalin will definitely react violently! However, they have only a total of more than 500,000 troops in the northwest, and the rest are still in Chelyabinsk and the Urals, where it has begun to snow, and even if the number of additional troops is not large. So until next spring, there will be no big problems with the North-Western Frontier. We should use this time to take advantage of the opportunity for Germany, Italy and Britain to co-opt us. Secure Nader Shah's throne as soon as possible, so that the USSR has no excuse to interfere. In this way, if they continue to stay in Afghanistan, it will become aggression, and we can also justifiably take the resource highway to Afghanistan to increase troops, and put on a posture bent on cutting off the Soviet Union's southward movement and opening up the Persian route. ”

In the past few years, because of identity and other issues, Wang Zhaoming has not had the opportunity to be involved in the national strategic meeting, but since he became the vice speaker. The gradual rise in status, coupled with Yang Qiu's deliberate connivance behind his back, continued to increase the number of KMT seats in the cabinet, and also made him the chairman of the Economic Committee of the National Assembly. Only then did he squeeze into the seat of the General Staff. When the Guoshe family was dominant, he knew that his voice was weak, but there were some things that he still had to ask clearly, so he thought about it and said, "Brother Zi'an." Is it really going to be a war with the Soviet Union in Afghanistan? Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's development has not been smooth due to backward education and foundation, and now it has finally reached the harvest period, and the foundation has been solid. In addition, this year has been growing by more than 13% for four consecutive years! At the best time for the country's development, wouldn't it be boring to go to war rashly? ”

Yue Peng looked at him meaningfully, and he had always seen Yang Qiu's little by little increase in the strength of the Kuomintang. For the sake of the long-term development of the republic, he has always remained neutral in this regard. But because of the previous estrangement between the two parties, he was not stupid enough to say his true purpose, and only replied: "The purpose of helping Nader Shah regain the throne this time is not only to support the Afghan government that is inclined to us, but also to contain and counterattack the Soviet Union's infiltration into our northwest in recent years!" It seems to me that we will not be able to escape this war with the USSR, as long as Krasnoyarsk is in our hands for a day, the East Siberian tundra will not be completely part of the USSR. Stalin knew, Moscow knew, so they were always worried that we would take the opportunity to swallow the tundra. Moreover, now that the internal contradictions in the Soviet Union are serious and the Great Purge has been deeply hurt, Stalin will certainly seize the opportunity to divert the contradictions and demonstrate his wisdom and leadership by restoring the territory of the former Tsarist Russia. So there is no way to escape this battle! Since you can't escape, you naturally have to prepare first. Afghanistan has an important geographical location, and if it is seized first, it can ensure that the communication channel between the Soviet Union and Japan will be cut off, and if there is a real war, it can be broken one by one. ”

There are true and false words, and those who know the core secret at the scene know that he did it on purpose. Because Yang Qiu's original intention was to use the loss of Afghanistan to create the false impression that China wanted to build an encirclement of China's Afghanistan in the Persian Gulf, and induce Stalin to make a mistake and take the initiative to go south. Only in this way can we break through the shackles of the Sino-British Qingdao Maritime Security Agreement and send troops to Saudi Arabia in the name of defending oil. Of course, deliberately facing the northwest is also to induce Japan to move south, because only when a serious conflict breaks out between China and the Soviet Union will Japan take this step.

Roosevelt withdrew from the Philippines to connive at Japan because he needed Japan to go south to deal with China and Britain and break the Versailles system to hurt the United States. Yang Qiu also needed Japan to go south to deal with Britain and the United States and clear the obstacles in his path. And Nagata Tetsuyama also knows in his heart that Japan has become a pawn, and what he wants to do is to fight for the last glimmer of hope for Japan's survival before completely defeating China and the United States! Two of the most prominent politicians on both sides of the Pacific, Japan's most sober brains, have quietly become entangled at this moment.

And all of this is for the three secrets that are still buried in the deepest part of Yang Qiu's heart.

Fight for control of the Asia-Pacific, for control of the Southwest Pacific, for control of the Indian Ocean!

Therefore, Yang Qiu glanced at Yue Peng, then at Wang Zhaoming, and after his eyes lingered on the faces of the two for a while, he turned to Gu Weijun and Wang Zhengting: "Shaochuan, you are responsible for contacting Britain, the United States, Germany and France, and when Nadir Shah arrives in Beijing, you must be treated with the highest standard, and a press conference will be held to show our firm support!" In order to get countries to recognize Nader Shah's kingship as soon as possible, recognize the legitimacy of the new Afghan government, and do not be afraid of deals, at this time, making some concessions will not affect the overall situation. Rutang, after you go back, you will immediately convene a ministerial meeting, so that everyone can mobilize and win public opinion to our side as soon as possible. Let the people know the importance of Afghanistan! Let everyone understand that we are doing this to defeat and contain the enemy. ”

After speaking, he twisted to Song Ziqing again: "Ziqing, you also immediately draft an order." This year's veteran rehabilitation work was immediately halted, and soldiers who had left before had to report back during the year. In addition, another 10,000 trucks were mobilized to Kashgar and the 103rd Division was ordered to garrison Andijan. Contact Mei Sheng again and tell him that from now on, the China-Arab Resource Highway must be taken over by the Northwest Theater of Operations! Inform Yan Baohang of them and pay attention to the movements in Japan! ”

"My opinion is that next year's defense budget should be raised to 7 billion just in case, and then ten new infantry divisions will be formed with veterans demobilized this year, which will be merged into the 16th Army and the 17th Army."

"No matter what Stalin chooses, we must be ready!" …… (To be continued.) )
