The Soviets wanted to play tricks, how could they possibly come up with peace talks? Moreover, he sent someone from the Afghan government side, who knows if the person who came to deliver the letter was mentally ill.

No one believed it, it was ridiculous, but when the news reached Mhammad's ears, Mhammad thought it was likely to be true, because the Soviets really didn't have any tricks up their sleeves now.

If it continues to fight, it will only change the form of the war and use large-scale ballistic missiles to attack Pakistan itself, but in this way, the scale of the war will be expanded, and the war on this side will be even more rotten, and the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Gorbachev, really does not want to fight anymore.

If Gorbachev withdraws his troops now, then the army will not be able to turn against the sky, and no one else will say it, Marshal Sokolov will have to whisper in Gorbachev's ear every day.

Only when Sokolov was taken by Gorbachev could there be hope for the withdrawal.

And now, Marshal Akhromeyev, who is the main battle, has been replaced by Gorbachev, and the new Marshal Ogarkov was opposed to using troops in Afghanistan at the beginning, and he was able to come to Afghanistan entirely because of Gorbachev's relationship, and the two should have the same idea, so it is really possible to have peace talks.

However, after negotiating with the other party, Mhammad felt that he did not need to come forward for the time being, after all, he was the president, and the other party was just a marshal, which was a matter of face.

Mhammad simply ordered Jalalabad to pay close attention to this matter, and if the other side has any intention of further peace talks, then he can conditionally agree, after all, the current Afghan Freedom Party government. What is most needed is to recuperate and consolidate the fruits of the present war.

Cities need to be rebuilt, governments need to expand their departments, countries need to function normally, and they still have a lot to do. It is easy to fight a war, but economic construction is even more difficult. After all, fighting a war is nothing more than destruction.

Three days after the news reached Pakistan, in the building of the Afghan Liberal Party government in Jalalabad, the emissary came again, this time with another man wearing a local robe and covering his face. When the other party came in, he took off his mask, and all of a sudden, everyone was surprised, it was a Soviet!

"Hmph, Soviets, how dare you come! I, Osama, hate the Soviets the most. On the land of Afghanistan, I saw one killing the other. Osama's voice was grim.

"War will not solve the problem. In the end, all issues must be put on the negotiating table, and war is just a process, and killing cannot change history. The man faced Osama, who was full of murderous intent. Said coldly.

"Osama, don't be rude, we are now the legitimate government of Afghanistan, we have to abide by the law and abide by international norms. Since the other party is here to negotiate, we must respect their legitimate rights and interests and personal freedom. Durrani said, "Excuse me, are you under Marshal Ogarkov?" ”

In the past, it was a guerrilla, but now it is a regular army, and it must look like a regular army, and it can't be full of killings.

"I'm Ogarkov." The visitor said, "I have come this time to negotiate with you. ”

Ogarkov! Everyone was shocked, even Osama's eyes widened, he didn't expect that this Soviet man would dare to come in person!

Although Osama is very violent, he respects the strong, this person dares to come to his side to negotiate, full of courage, such a person, Osama admires, and, since it is a peace negotiation, then Osama really can't do anything to the other party, on the contrary, he has to protect his safety.

"You may be seated." "We also want to see the day when all disputes can be resolved peacefully, after all, too much of our Afghan blood has been shed," Durrani said. ”

In later generations, when the war ended, more than 1.3 million people died in Afghanistan, and more than 5 million people went into exile and became refugees.

Therefore, if the two sides can end the dispute and settle it peacefully, it is not a good way, and the pursuit of peace often requires greater courage than the pursuit of war, and agreeing to peace talks will face all kinds of accusations.

The other party came here secretly because this matter must be kept secret, and the other party's country must also refuse peace talks, how can the powerful polar bear be willing to fail!

As for the peace talks, the majority of the military must not be made known, otherwise, Ogarkov knows that now even Gorbachev cannot completely guarantee his status, and if Sokolov knew that he had made peace talks, he would definitely say in front of Gorbachev that he was a traitor to the Soviet Union. Therefore, this peace talk must be secret, and at the same time, there must be enough people to come over before the other side agrees, for the sake of the Soviet Union, Ogarkov can only come in person.

The attitude of the other party is quite friendly, and Ogarkov knows that this is a good start.

"The Soviet Union must withdraw all its troops from Afghanistan, this is our firm belief and will never change." Osama said.

The other side wants peace talks and wants to cease fire, but there are still Soviets in those occupied areas, and this is something that the Afghan Free Government cannot tolerate, and Afghanistan's affairs are to be resolved by the Afghans themselves, and there is no need for Soviet interference at all.

"That's what we mean, too." Ogarkov said: "Even our general secretary does not want to fight on the battlefield in Afghanistan anymore, and the final situation will definitely be that we will withdraw from Afghanistan." However, please understand that the situation in the Soviet Union is complicated, and the Soviet army has already paid a great price, and if we withdraw our troops directly, we will not be able to account for it at home, and the military will lose self-confidence as a result.

If you want the other side to agree to the peace talks, you have to show enough sincerity, and Ogarkov feels that he has said enough to even damage the reputation of the Soviet military.

The reputation of the military is reflected on the battlefield, and now, the situation on the battlefield is so unfavorable, and the reputation of its own side has long been lost, and Ogarkov values real interests more.

The country needs to be reformed, the army needs to be reformed, and we don't need to consume strength here and drag down the economy of the whole country! War here is pointless.

Ogarkov continued: "So, now we can only maintain the status quo in order to give an account to the country, and when the time comes, we will gradually withdraw our troops. Now, both sides are staying in their respective defensive areas, not invading each other, reducing friction, I don't know what you think? ”

"You said for a long time, none of this has anything to do with us, I know that our army is now in full swing, we have captured many large cities in the north, and we will continue to capture more cities, these, we do not rely on negotiations, but on our own strength." Osama said: "You come over now and say, let's make peace with each other, don't fight for the time being, how can we believe in your sincerity, in case it is your delaying tactics, gradually accumulate strength, and when the opportunity comes, launch a large-scale military operation against us again?" ”

Osama hit the nail on the head.

God knows whether the Soviets wanted real peace talks or a chance at détente.

"I'm here on my own." Ogarkov said: "I am the supreme commander of the Soviet Union in charge of the direction of Afghanistan, if it is a delaying tactic, why should I risk my life to come in person?" At most, I'll just send my adjutant over, I don't need to come in person. I have come with all the sincerity, including the sincerity of the General Secretary, is it not enough? Do I need to go to Pakistan and meet with the President of Pakistan? ”

"No, you're not qualified enough, if you want to go, it's your general secretary who can go." Osama said.

"You!" Ogarkov was furious, these people, did they really think that the USSR was afraid of them? The Soviet Union just didn't want to drag down the country because of Afghanistan, and if the country had implemented its own plan to develop precision-guided weapons, it would have been able to put an end to these guerrillas with only a few troops!

Ogarkov is also a veteran of World War II, and when he fought, these imps in front of him had not yet been born!

"I'm sorry, General Ogarkov." Just then, the woman next to her spoke.

Ogarkov knew that in the leadership of the Afghan Freedom Party, there was a woman named Dana, who had come from fighting with Mhammad, and in the government, she was a relatively objective person.

"This matter is very important, you want to maintain our status quo now, and the two sides will not invade each other, but there will be no detailed contract to sign, just a verbal agreement, so we have to be careful." Dana said: "From my personal point of view, I very much agree that we can maintain peace, but we are responsible for the whole party, the whole country, so we need to think about your issue very carefully, for example, we are now in Jalalabad, which is Kabul, if you really want to show non-aggression, why don't you withdraw your troops and leave only the troops of the Afghan puppet government?" ”

No one thought that Dana, who had never understood military affairs, would now come up with an idea that would make everyone applaud.

Haven't you been talking about keeping the peace, maintaining the status quo, and non-aggression against each other? Then just show your sincerity! (To be continued......)
