In October in Afghanistan, the weather has turned cold, the leaves of the trees have begun to turn yellow, and everything is bleak. However, as the most important capital of the country, Kabul Palace Garden has always been full of rare plants and trees, so even though the outside is full of autumn colors,
The flowers are still blooming here and are so beautiful.
King Zahir Shah of Afghanistan and Queen Umara took their four children for a walk in the garden. From a distance, they saw 16-year-old Princess Diyana sitting under a green Himalayan spruce tree.
Sitting on a chair in the atrium, reading a book quietly.
Zahir Shah sighed in his heart. His sister was indeed breathtakingly beautiful. At least in the past few years of studying in Europe and returning to China, Zahir Shah had never seen a girl as beautiful as his sister.
Diana has a perfect oval face, skin so delicate that not a single pore can be seen, eyebrows that are neither thick nor light, just right, a pair of big watery eyes that speak volumes, deep and clear, and a tall and delicate nose.
A moderately sized mouth, fresh and moist, full red lips, everything is just right.
Zahir Shah was moved in his heart and asked his wife to take the children to play. Then he walked to Dianna alone and asked with a smile: "What? Are you still watching "The Predator"?"
Diana raised her head, with a trace of confusion in her eyes. She was obviously immersed in the book and couldn't extricate herself: "Yeah...the exciting story, coupled with the realistic photos, makes people feel like they are there personally.
...Brother, you said we
Why are there no great heroes like An Yi? Look at the Soviet troops currently blocking the north and south of Kabul. They were defeated by An Yi's army a few months ago, but when they met us, they immediately became arrogant again.
Why is there such a big gap in comparison?"
Zahir Shah pulled up a stool and sat down opposite his sister: "Diana, our situation is different from that in China... You haven't read the third volume of "Songhu Heroes" and
In the fourth volume of "The Great Wall War of Resistance", in the face of Japanese aggression and threats, An Yi and the army he commanded
There are times when the team is powerless... The situation in China is similar to our current situation in Afghanistan. Warlords are divided and fight on their own. What the Japanese army could not get on the battlefield, they got at the negotiation table. In the end, they were forced to
For example, the Anjia army was defeated without defeat...
"Our situation is the same. Although our family has unified Afghanistan in name, in fact, it only requires each tribe to surrender to us. The actual management of the place is still the mullahs of each tribe and mosque. Our financial sources are mainly from
We opened and controlled the National Bank, as usual
The customary monopoly on the sheepskin and fruit trade brought us huge profits to pay for the huge national financial expenditure, but in fact our control over the local areas was very weak. We were like a piece of loose sand, facing the threat of the Soviets
, unable to form a fist, that’s why we have come all the way to this miserable situation today!
"However, Dianna, this may not be an opportunity for us. Tribal leaders and mullahs have always been a stubborn force hindering our progress in Afghanistan. In fact, we all know that Habibullah, the 'Water Bearer's Son', was ousted from power.
Many reforms of former King Amanullah
is correct. For example, he established a parliament, carried out compulsory education regardless of gender, changed the clothing habits of turbans and veils, and compulsory military service. His ideas were progressive. However, because these reforms touched the interests of tribes and mosques, Amanullah
Only then will he leave Afghanistan sadly.
"Now, every time the Soviets conquer a place, they establish a Soviet and hand over all rights to the government. A large number of tribal leaders are liquidated and massacred. The power of mosques and mullahs is almost completely eradicated. As long as there is a strong force at this time
, help us get rid of the hateful Soviets, then our Afghanistan will become a truly unified country. Dianna, are you willing to help brother?"
Diana asked with some confusion: "Brother, why does it involve me? You don't know what the situation is here. Even women have to cover their faces when going out, let alone interfering in national affairs. I can help
What are you busy with?"
Zahir Shah hesitated to speak, but thinking of the sharp deterioration of the war on the front line, he had to bite the bullet and said: "Diana, I wonder what you think of An Yi?"
Princess Diana is a little confused, but she still tells the truth:
"Judging from the photos published in the two books, he is a very handsome man, especially the perseverance and courage revealed in his bones, which is very touching. Moreover, after watching "Model Camp", I went to
Yu Shufang found many news reports about him. This person is not simple.
Shan, who was only in his early thirties, had already captured Annan from the French, fought a great victory in Central Asia, and brought more than six million square kilometers of land under his control. This man could be described as a proud son of the emperor.
It’s not an exaggeration at all, I think there will be many women who like him!”
"So...what about you?"
Zahir Shah asked.
"I!?"
Diana pointed at herself: "How is this possible? We are so far apart, I am in the southwest of the Pamir Plateau, and he is on the far coast of the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles apart...Brother, you
What are you thinking about?"
"I said if...of course, just if, you have the opportunity to marry An Yi, would you be willing?" Zahir Shah asked pretending to be joking.
Dianna thought seriously for a moment, with some shyness flashing across her face:
"I think...I think I would like it. I read in the newspaper that he is versatile. He not only plays the accordion well, but he is also very good at composing lyrics and music. Many beautiful songs were composed by him and spread throughout the world.
of the entire Chinese world. In addition, he is also a successful military strategist and rich man.
A rational investor and manager, he is also an educator. Compulsory education is implemented in all areas under his control. Even the French and Soviets are no match for the army he leads... When I was reading just now, I
I’m still wondering, does such a nearly perfect person have any shortcomings?”
Zahir Shah was very happy: "As long as you are willing, just be willing!"
Diana looked at her brother in confusion: "Brother, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"this--"
Zahir Shah hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Diana, my brother wants to propose marriage to you..."
Dianna panicked: "Brother, I told you, I will not marry Samidak. He is my cousin. Getting married is very detrimental to future generations. In addition, although Samidak
He studied in the UK, but he didn't learn the British gentleman's standards at all. I heard that several girls who served him were fucked to death by him. I don't want to marry that devil.
....”
Zahir Shah was startled, and then he remembered that in the middle of the year, his fifth uncle Valery Shah had mentioned this matter to him, but he refused at that time on the excuse that Diana was not yet sixteen years old.
, later the matter came to Dianna’s ears, and she cried out not to marry Samidak. Now that Samidak is being reused and leading the troops to fight in Kalabagh City, Dianna must have thought that she wanted to use him.
Let her win over the general's heart.
"Diana, where did you think you were?"
Zahir Shah shook his head quickly: "I also know Samidak's quirks, how can I push you into the fire pit? It's not Samidak, but another person!"
Diana looked at her brother timidly: "Who is it? I have to agree first, no matter who the other party is, I have to be willing to do it! After my father passed away, my mother also died of depression and illness. Now there are only two of us, brother and sister. You can't
Bully me, otherwise I will commit suicide and go to my parents to sue you..."
"An Yi!"
In Dianna's expectant eyes, Zahir revealed a name.
"ah!?"
Diana was so surprised that she couldn't help but smile: "This... how is this possible? I have never even met him. How could he propose to me?"
"No, no, no, Diana, you are mistaken!"
Zahir Shah said quickly: "It's not that An Yi is proposing to us, but I am going to introduce you to him to see what his wishes are."
Facing Dianna's aggrieved look, Zahir Shah explained: "Diana, although it sounds a little cruel, my brother hopes you know one thing. The marriage of a royal princess has always been beyond your control.
There are too many transactions. Now Afghanistan has reached a critical juncture of national subjugation. If
Without external intervention, Kabul would fall within less than a month... At that time, we would either become prisoners of the Soviets and be paraded through the streets like monkeys, and finally die in humiliation, or we would be like Oman.
Like Noura, she fled to England in despair and lived on the charity of others.
"My sister, you are a girl, especially a beautiful girl. You must be very aware of the tragic fate of a princess whose country is ruined and her family is ruined. Now there is only one opportunity to change Afghanistan, and that is to invite the powerful Anjia Army in the north.
Heading south, from Turkmenistan
Kush (now Kushka), Mukele, Charshanga, Termeiz in Uzbekistan, Etiva in Tajikistan, Lower Pench, Moskovsky went south. As long as General An Yi is willing to send troops
, these Soviets are like chickens and dogs, completely vulnerable.
"Diana, actually I didn't think about this. It was the proposal of King Uncle Hashem and the strong support of King Uncle Mahmud and Ahmed, so I had to consider it. Now our country and the entire
The family has reached a critical moment of life and death. I used to expect the British to take action.
However, according to the latest intelligence, Japan has challenged Britain and sent troops to attack British colonies in Southeast Asia. The British fleet in the Strait of Malacca has been completely wiped out. Now that the British have no time to take care of themselves, how can they still have the energy to take care of us? Therefore, we
We can only choose to save ourselves!"
Diana was stunned. There was so much information in her mind that she couldn't react.
Zahir Shah stood up, lowered his head and said to Dijana:
"Sister, please consider your brother's words carefully. If you don't marry An Yi, there is a high possibility that you will marry Samidak. Our 'Mushahiban' family has a tradition of marrying your cousins.
Even I married your cousin Umala. Thinking about Samidak's violent tendencies, I feel worried for you!"
"elder brother!"
Dianna stood up: "Stop talking, as long as An Yi is willing and Diana is willing to marry him, I'm afraid that he will look down on me, a foreign girl. I heard that he loves his two wives very much. This matter
It’s not something we can do just by thinking about it.”
"yes!"
Zahir Shah turned his head and looked to the north: "I don't know what the situation is like with Uncle Hashem... I hope there will be no problems..."
