Seeing that Persul was not speaking, I added another sentence: "If you don't believe it... you can ask Rajer, or any Afghan guerrilla team trained at a Chinese base..."
"I believe in you, dear guest!" Persour interrupted me: "I see sincerity in your eyes, and I also know that China is fighting with Vietnam, and the relationship with the Soviet Union is very tense...
”
"What else are you worried about?" I asked.
Pessel was silent for a while before nodding slightly and said, "You convinced me at this point that I can accept your assistance, but I do not want to receive your training, and I will not agree to let you build in the Sigeo Valley.
Base…What do you think?”
Persour is very smart, so that their guerrillas can get supplies without worrying about being influenced by us... It seems that he is still very cautious about us, foreigners.
I originally wanted to refuse, but then I nodded and replied, "One word is certain!"
This made Saheed, who was the translator, look at me with an incredible look, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.
In fact, it was not only Saheed who couldn't believe it, but even Persul was surprised by this, let alone the staff under my command.
"Battery Commander!" When I returned to the base and talked about the results of this negotiation, Scar immediately expressed his objection: "How can there be such a good thing... They take all the advantages, and we can't even get a hair...
Isn’t this for free to send them food and equipment?”
"Yes, battalion commander!" Zhang Zuoliang also said from the side: "How can you agree to such conditions? Besides, the base is not close to the Xijieo Valley... We will give them equipment and supplies along the way, which is exhausting.
Not to mention it, we have to worry about the interception of the Soviet army... This is to make the soldiers risk their lives!"
Others also expressed their objections, saying that it was really unfair to agree to this condition. Not only did they pay for equipment and supplies... Maybe they would even have to pay for their lives, but only Zhao Jingping and instructor didn't say anything.
"What do you think?" I asked Zhao Jingping and instructor.
Zhao Jingping replied: "My idea is... the purpose of our coming here is to arm the Afghan guerrillas. Persour is also an Afghan guerrilla team, and it is also a very powerful resistance force, so we provide equipment for it.
There is no problem with losing money business. Because we have national interests in it... But! I think the battalion commander's idea cannot be that simple..."
The instructor smiled and said, "I said Xiao Yang... don't keep it aside, tell everyone..."
"Staff Officer Zhao is right!" I said to everyone: "Our thinking... cannot stay at the time of war in China, nor can we habitually treat guerrillas as our enemies, thinking that giving them equipment is a loss of money for business
…”
"Battery Commander!" Hassan asked, "Then...what are we building a base in Afghanistan? Should we change places?"
"That's what I'm going to say next!" I smiled and said, "Think about it...what should we do first if we were to build a base in Chigeo?"
"What should I do? Build fortifications!" Scar replied without thinking: "Because it is a base, and such a large base... it is impossible to avoid the eyes of the Soviets. So it must be used
The terrain constructs fortifications and also stores ammunition to avoid being surrounded by the Soviet army!”
"That's right!" I said: "If you want to establish a base in Xigeo, ammunition and food reserves are very important, otherwise... the Soviet army would just cut off our supply line and siegeo valley with heavy troops.
Then even if the Sigeo Valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it won’t last long!"
"What does this have to do with us transporting supplies to the Xijieo Valley?" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but wonder.
"Think down..." I said: "If we want to quickly store large quantities of ammunition in the valley and build various fortifications...what is the most difficult?"
"Oh!" Zhao Jingping seemed to understand a little when he heard this: "The most difficult thing is supply!"
"Yes!" I said: "The Ger'o Valley is not close to Peshawar, it is more than 30 kilometers away, and you must take a mountain road. At present, there are only two mountain roads leading to the Ger'o Valley... This is far from reaching
The requirement to supply the Sigeo Valley, so... what we have to do now is actually to prepare for entering the Sigeo Valley!"
"Oh!" After hearing this, the soldiers suddenly realized.
"But the battalion commander!" Hassan said: "If Persor insists on not letting us enter the Sigeo Valley, then it will not be..."
"He can!" I said: "Pesul cannot be considered a soldier strictly, but a thinker... His theory does make sense, but it is out of reality. The battlefield is a place of reality...
...If he continues to stubbornly maintain his thoughts and refuses to cooperate with us, then he will have only one result... being eliminated by reality!"
"The battalion commander means..." Hassan asked.
"The Soviets would not let Pelsour develop!" I said: "Everyone knows that the Sigeo Valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the guerrillas are allowed to develop like this, it will only allow the guerrillas to grow in the valley.
It will become increasingly difficult to deal with in the future... The reason why they survived until now is entirely because we destroyed the Soviet Union's sweep the previous two times! So... we just need to wait and wait for Persour to ask us for help. Or
They would rather die in battle than ask for help... But no matter which one it is, we can successfully enter the Sigeo Valley in the end... Of course, this has to be based on the fact that we have many mountain roads leading to the Sigeo Valley.
Because this also means that we can invest a large number of troops and supplies into Xigeo in the shortest time... This is something that no one can compare with us!"
"Oh!" The soldiers completely understood.
But I added a sentence later: "Let's take a step back... If Persour is lucky enough to resist the attack of the Soviets, then they will be seriously injured. And the supply is in our hands...
Will they still have the right to disagree at that time?"
The soldiers couldn't help looking at each other when they heard this... No one of them expected that I would have so many backs, and this backs seemed a little insidious.
Actually... if it was not a last resort, I wouldn't want to use the last move... After all, Persul is a respectable old man. Although he is too ideal and does not see clearly what the essence of war is, I have to do so.
Prepare.
There is only one reason... the battlefield is realistic!
