Chapter 739 Three major goals

A huge explosion rose from the barracks on the west side of the palace, and black mushroom clouds rolled upwards with blood waves. Bricks, sand, stones, and blood kept rolling down from the black clouds, and the explosion waves swept hundreds of square meters. This was the killing effect of the ghost car dive bomber (1,200 horsepower) with a 500kg bomb. The terrible power completely shattered the confidence of the Amanula Guard. At the same time, the air above the airport to the north was also very busy. A Yunjiu had just landed and unloaded the soldiers, and then rose up again, gathered with the fighter jets hovering in the sky and flew north.

One or two... There were more and more soldiers at the Kabul airport. When they roared into the city and rushed to the palace with the captured 11 Soviet bt26 tanks, it was announced that Kabul would change hands again nine years later.

The news of the successful landing of Kabul aircraft was quickly sent to the Anjiyan branch of the Northwest National Defense Communication Center through radio, and then followed the defense communication cables that cost hundreds of millions of yuan to enter Urumqi and Baotou, and finally transferred to the Xishan Ministry of National Defense in Beijing. It was already afternoon in Beijing at this time, and the crisp phone ring 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 arrived at the combat conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, there was already a lot of people. Without caring about the soldiers saluting around, the two of them immediately grabbed Song Ziqing, and didn't even pay attention to the excitement around them, and asked: "How is the situation? Has it been successful?"

Song Ziqing was also excited. No soldier was willing to die of illness. When another military era began, he could no longer remain calm. He clenched his left hand and saluted the president and the prime minister. He raised his chin slightly: "Report to the president, at 5:17 am Afghan time, the commando successfully landed at the airport. At 5:50 am, the airport was basically controlled! At 7:00, the encirclement of the palace was completed. The telegram twenty minutes ago said that Amanula and their families were all in our hands!"

"here you go!"

The report was simply and neatly and clearly stated, which made Yang Qiu unable to control the excitement in his heart, and he raised his fist with his right hand over his head. All the officers in the room were infected by this action and cheered each other with high highs. This was an Eben Emarl-like victory! Its significance not only proved that after the development of 26, the National Defense Forces had initially possessed the ability of mechanically accurate overseas coordinated combat, but also allowed China to regain the initiative in the Afghan situation again!

Many people don’t understand why the small Afghanistan is so important, and why it makes people linger and never give up. In fact, just stare at the map of Asia and look at it for a few more times. It is how important this country known as the crossroads of Asia! To the north is the dividing line for the battle between China and the Soviet Union, to the south is the rich and flowing Indian Ganges Plain, and to the weak Arabia with oil resources. To the west is the Turkmenistan and the Caspian Sea, and to the east is China! It is no exaggeration to say that this is the true heart of Asia. Whoever controls this will have the right to freely choose the Asian strategy! For mainland countries like China and the Soviet Union, this is a strategic place that must be fought for!

Now, the initiative is in Beijing! Nadirsha's surrender and Amanula's arrest mean that the two most influential power-oriented factions in Afghanistan are in one fist. No matter who wants to interfere in Afghanistan in the future, they must consider China's influence.

"...As of now, two gliders have been lost, and two have been damaged when they were towed. The assault battalion has suffered a total of 37 casualties. Among them, 13 of them have been killed. A total of 323 Soviet troops have been killed and 1,197 have been captured. 287 Amanula puppet troops have been killed and 3,154 have been captured!" Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu Depei stood in front of the map. The first "company commander" of the National Defense University has relied on his own efforts and talents after 25 years of joining the army.

Knock on the gate of the General Staff. His voice was loud and he could hear clearly in every corner: "At present, the vast majority of the puppet troops in Kabul have laid down their weapons. After ensuring the safety of their personal and family members, Amanula has agreed to persuade his troops to surrender to us. Now the Northwest General Command is hurrying to transport troops to Kabul. It is expected that all three regiments will be transported by sunset. In three days, the total number of troops in Kabul can reach 20,000!

The lack of heavy equipment that we were most worried about has been initially resolved. The airborne battalion seized a total of more than 50 cannons of various types, 221 machine guns, 11 tanks, three aircraft and a large number of weapons and ammunition in the arsenal of the Soviet army and Amanula. It is initially estimated that an infantry division can last for at least one month! From the telegrams sent back by the reconnaissance plane, the Soviet army deployed near the Mount Hindu Kush has responded, and at least one regiment is on the way back to aid, and the Air Force is bombing and intercepting them. The Soviet army in Kunduz and Bagland is currently temporarily restrained, and the Soviet army in Kandahar and Herat has not yet responded."

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

Yang Qiu nodded.

To be honest, exchange it for Kabul at the cost of 37 casualties and the initiative to control the intersection! This special aircraft landing operation can be recorded in the history of world wars. Even if the future Eben Emar Fortress assault battle occurs, it will be incomparable in both scale and strategic significance. Seeing Chen Guofu, Gu Weijun and Wang Zhaoming walked in, he waved his hand to signal them to sit down before taking a breath to calm down his heartbeat, regaining his usual calm tone, and asked: "When will Nadirsha and Amanula come?"

"According to the plan, the morning after tomorrow, Nadir Sha will go to Kabul to announce his new king, and then take a plane to Beijing in the afternoon. The whole family of Amanula will fly to the Beihai first. After Nadir Sha will leave, we will take him to Harbin for temporary residence." Song Ziqing said the plan. Although Amanula was arrested, his identity is still very sensitive. It can shock the various factions in Afghanistan in China. Anyone who has a rebellious mind can immediately pull him out and support him again.

"Have you thought about the next step?" A faint voice swept away the excitement. Victory has passed. The rest of the matter is more critical, so Yang Qiu looked at the Chief of Staff Yue Peng. When the latter saw the gaze, he immediately replied: "The Soviet Union will definitely not be willing. This is no longer as simple as military failure. Behind Germany and Italy's interference in Spain is the acquiescence and support of Britain, France and other countries, which shows that everyone has begun to curb the expansion of GCism. Before this, Moscow can ensure smooth revolutionary export channels, the only way to Afghanistan-Iran-Indian Ocean. Now that Kabul is controlled by us, it is equivalent to breaking the safest path. If they do not take it back, then it is a joke to talk about launching a world revolution.

So I think Stalin will definitely react fiercely! However, they have only more than 500,000 troops outside the northwest, and the rest are still in Chelyabinsk and Urals. Now it has started to snow in these places, and even if the number of troops increases will not be large. So until next spring comes, there will be no big problems in the northwest frontier. We should use this period to take advantage of Germany, Italy and Britain to win over us, and confirm the throne of Nadirsha as soon as possible. Let the Soviet Union have no excuses to interfere. In this way, if they continue to stay in Afghanistan, it will become an invasion. We can also legitimately take the resource road to increase troops to Afghanistan, and put on the stance of being determined to cut off the Soviet Union's southward and open up the Persian channel."

In the past few years, due to identity and other issues, Wang Zhaoming had no chance to be involved in the National Strategic Conference, but since he became the deputy speaker, his status has gradually increased. In addition, Yang Qiu deliberately indulged behind his back, and he continued to increase the Democratic Party seats in the cabinet. He also let him serve as the chairman of the Congress Economic Committee, so he squeezed into the General Staff seat. When the State and Society were dominant, he knew that he had a weak voice, but some things still need to be asked clearly, so he thought about it and said: "Brother Zi'an, do you really have to fight a war with the Soviet Union? After the founding of the People's Republic of my country, our country's development has been lagging behind in education and foundation. Now it has finally reached the harvest period and has laid a solid foundation. In addition, the growth rate has exceeded 13% for four consecutive years! It is the best time for the country's development, wouldn't it be boring to start a war rashly?"

Yue Peng looked at him meaningfully, and he always saw Yang Qiu's increasing strength of the Democratic Party little by little. For the long-term development of the republic system, he has always remained neutral. But because of the previous two parties, he was not stupid enough to express his true purpose, and only replied: "The purpose of helping Nadirsha regain the throne this time is not only to support the Afghan government that tends to be inclined to us, but also to contain and counterattack the Soviet Union invaded our northwest in recent years! In my opinion, we can't escape this battle with the Soviet Union, as long as Krasnoyarsk is in our hands for a day, things

The Permafrost Area in the Berry is not entirely owned by the Soviet Union for a day. Stalin knew that Moscow knew, so they were always worried that we would take the opportunity to swallow the Permafrost Area. What's more, now that the internal conflicts in the Soviet Union are serious, the great purge has hurt a lot. Stalin will definitely seize the opportunity to divert the conflict and use the restoration of the former Tsarist Russian territory to demonstrate his wisdom and leadership. So this battle cannot be escaped! Since it cannot be escaped, we must naturally prepare first. Afghanistan's geographical location is important, and grabbing it first can ensure that the connection between the Soviet and Japanese countries is cut off, and once the war begins, it can be defeated one by one."

These words are true and false. Everyone present who knows the core secrets knows that he did it on purpose. Because Yang Qiu's original intention was to use the loss of Afghanistan to create an illusion that China wanted to build a China-Afghanistan-Persian Gulf encirclement, and induce Stalin to make mistakes and take the initiative to go south. Only in this way can we break through the constraints of the Sino-British Qingdao Maritime Security Agreement Treaty in the name of defending oil and send troops to Saudi Arabia. Of course, deliberately confronting the northwest is also to induce Japan to move south, because only when a serious conflict broke out between China and the Soviet Union will Japan take this step.

Roosevelt withdrew from the Philippines to condone Japan because he needed Japan to go south to deal with China and Britain and break the harm to the United States of Versailles. Yang Qiu also needed Japan to go south to deal with Britain and the United States and clear the obstacles on his way forward. Nagata Tetsuyama also knew in his heart that Japan had become a pawn. What he had to do was to win the last glimmer of hope for Japan's survival before completely failing and turning to China and the United States! The two most outstanding politicians on both sides of the Pacific, Japan's most sober brain, had actually been quietly entangled at this moment.

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

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

So Yang Qiu glanced at Yue Peng, then looked at Wang Zhaoming, and then stayed on the faces of the two, then turned to Gu Weijun and Wang Zhengting: "Shaochuan, you are responsible for contacting countries such as Britain, the United States, Germany and France. After Nadirsha arrives in Beijing, you must treat it at the highest standard. A press conference should be held to express our firm support! In order to enable all countries to recognize Nadirsha's identity as king, recognize the legal status of the new Afghan government, and do not be afraid of transactions. At this time, making some concessions will not affect the overall situation. Rutang, after you go back, you will immediately convene the ministerial meeting to let everyone 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 curb the enemy."

After saying that, he turned to Song Ziqing again: "Ziqing, you will also plan an order immediately. All veterans' restoration work will be stopped this year, and soldiers who left before must come back to report within the year. In addition, 10,000 trucks were mobilized to Kashgar and ordered the 103rd Division to garrison Anjiyan. Contact Mei Sheng and tell him that from now on, the Sino-Arab Resources Highway must be fully taken over by the Northwest War Zone! Notify Yan Baohang and others and pay attention to Japan's movements!"

"My opinion is that just in case, the defense budget for next year will be increased to 7 billion, and then ten new infantry divisions will be formed with veterans who have been demobilized this year, and merged into the 16th Army and the 17th Army."

"No matter how Stalin chooses, we must be prepared!"
