Considering that most of Afghan weapons and equipment are purchased from China by the United States, if the US government stops supplying our funds, it almost means that our entire Afghan opposition will be affected, even our base. This will also affect my country's foreign exchange earnings, and the "unity" mentioned by Smith does require the participation of our Chinese base... The Chinese base also trains several guerrilla teams, right? If we don't participate and don't cooperate, then this " "Unity" was simply impossible to talk about. So I reluctantly organized a meeting with Smith, a meeting composed of guerrilla leaders.
Of course, unlike last time,... Smith won't have the mentality of seizing power like last time. In fact... Colonel Smith can be said to have no capital to seize power at all. The reason is that after the last battle, I
It can be said that many guerrillas were saved... These guerrillas naturally also included some guerrilla leaders, and the reason why they were trapped in the Soviet army was almost in danger of their lives was entirely because of Colonel Smith's wrong plan.
I was the one who rescued them. After all, my prestige in the guerrillas was far superior to Colonel Smith... Although he was still a colonel and a US colonel, I was also a battalion commander and Chinese battalion commander...
...But the guerrillas don't care about that much. All they want is people who can lead them to survive and let them defeat the Soviet army...
So... if I really want to seize power, I will still be the same as my power, and Smith has no chance at all.
Colonel Smith also saw this very clearly. Just like the moment I walked into the conference room, almost all the guerrilla leaders in the conference room stood up and saluted me... Smith was not a fool, of course he knew at this time
The situation is so naturally I am happy to be on par with me.
"Dear leaders!" Smith warmly invited me to sit next to him and stood up and said, "This meeting... was decided to be held after I discussed with Battalion Commander Yang..."
I couldn't help but feel a little funny when I heard this. Smith actually emphasized before the meeting started that he had already discussed it with me... Last time he wanted me to hand over the command power. It was really a turnaround!
"The purpose of this meeting..." Smith continued: "It is to hope that all the leaders can unite to fight against the Soviet invaders..."
"Col. Smith!" A leader quickly interrupted Smith: "I think it's good for us to fight like this... Afghanistan is full of mountainous areas, which is not suitable for large-scale combat by large forces, not to mention our weapons
The equipment is much worse than that of the Soviet Union. This means that we can only fight guerrilla warfare. When fighting guerrilla warfare, small troops need to act independently... If we unite and defend it with the Soviet army, it will be destroyed by the Soviet army!"
It should be said that what the leader said is somewhat reasonable. When fighting guerrilla, it is naturally necessary to break the whole into pieces. If the whole is turned into pieces, all the living forces are gathered together. Then it just gives the Soviet air power the opportunity to exert.
.
but……
"What we mean by joint combat does not mean the formation of all guerrillas together to fight!" I said: "Because our equipment, troop strength and strength are very different from the enemy, so the current combat method is
It is definitely the main focus of guerrilla warfare. So...even if we unite, there will not be much change in form and now. Your territory is still yours. The difference from before is... After the alliance, each guerrilla team will
Conduct information sharing, unified action plans and coordinated combat that echoes each other... For example, I have encountered such a thing before... The two guerrillas did not share information, but they happened to sneak attack the same place, and the enemy
There was no sneak attack, but the two guerrillas fought in the dark and suffered heavy casualties. What's worse is... The two guerrillas with hatred destroyed each other, attacked each other, etc. This would undoubtedly cause a great deal for our guerrillas themselves.
Loss! The purpose of our alliance... is to reduce such losses!"
Listening to my words, the leaders nodded in agreement... Smith also nodded to me. There was a bitter smile on his lips that was almost unpredictable.
I know the meaning of this wry smile... He lost the battle, so his prestige among the guerrilla leaders plummeted, so no matter how reasonable what he said, no one would be willing to listen, but my situation is exactly the opposite.
!
"Battleman Yang!" At this time, a leader stood up and bowed to me and said, "If you say this... the united forces will only benefit and not harm our guerrillas. Of course we agree! But... who will do it
What about the big leader of this alliance?”
As soon as they finished speaking, they were talking in the conference room... Smith and I also exchanged glances, knowing that the most difficult step was finally here.
It is obvious that if this problem is not handled well, it will cause disputes among the guerrillas at the worst, and at the worst, it will cause the guerrillas to turn against each other and become enemies and fight in battle... Just like Colonel Smith's previous attempt.
Seeing that we didn't say anything, a leader soon stood up and waved and said, "I think... this big leader is of course the leader of the strongest and most powerful guerrillas..."
There was a booing sound soon in the conference room, and later I realized... the leader who just stood up and talked was the one with the most soldiers...
"I think!" another leader stood up and said, "In modern wars, many times, are fighting wealth, so I think this big leader should be the richest leader!"
Then there was another boo... It turned out that this leader was actually a big poison. He accumulated a lot of wealth by selling drugs and weapons. Later, he heard from Smith that he had tens of millions of dollars in his account in the Swiss bank just
Deposits...
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned... I have always thought that the Afghan guerrillas were very poor, but now it seems that not all guerrillas are very poor!
"I think!" Then another leader stood up and said, "The big leader wants to command various guerrillas to fight... Of course, the smartest, the most educated person should be the one who is the one who has the best knowledge..."
There is no doubt that the leader has the highest education... Not by surprise, I later learned that this guy is a college student who graduated from Kabul University... Afghanistan is a poor country, and being a college student is definitely worthy of pride, but I
I don't think that college students can become big leaders.
So everyone just fought with each other, not only did they not let anyone else, but they also tried their best to find out the other party's shortcomings... Of course, Hassan was the only exception, he seemed to be experiencing this big deal.
The leader was not interested at all.
When I talked about this with Hassan afterwards, I realized that Hassan actually knew that this alliance or alliance would definitely not succeed, or even if it succeeded, it would just be named... For such a famous leader...
So what if you become a leader? Which guerrilla team will really obey your orders because you are the big leader?
Hassan saw this thoroughly, but the other leaders did not have such foresight... From this point of view, I chose Hassan and I really chose the right choice!
"Let's do it!" I looked at Smith, waved my hand to calm the guerrillas and said, "I'll make a suggestion... The problem of this big leader is because there is no suitable candidate now, and who can I keep it in the future.
Let's do it...it's up to the military merits... Let's set a time. In a year, the position of the great leader will be... Of course, there will be rewards and punishments. We should have to formulate a few more items
Alliance discipline, such as guerrillas cannot attack each other, they must temporarily put aside their grudges and go against the outside world, etc. What do you think?”
Smith thought about it and said, "I think this method is good... Everyone is equal. As long as you don't target your own people and fight the enemy tenaciously on the battlefield, you will have a chance to become the leader!"
Seeing that the leaders had been fighting for a long time but didn't make a decision, and my plan did give everyone a fair chance, they nodded in agreement.
Actually, I thought about this plan in advance... I don't want the alliance to develop Smith in the end, so I guided the alliance in a positive direction... I'm telling them that I want to be the big leader
If it is, then it is useless to attack yourself, and it is useless to engage in assassination. The only way to give yourself extra points is to fight the enemy on the battlefield...
Of course, because there is no big leader, it is still impossible for us to do "information sharing", "cooperation in cooperation", and "mutual support" like a real alliance... Don't say anything about mutual support, just fear which guerrilla team
If the Soviet army attacks other guerrillas, they will applaud!
But at least... I think there will be much less disputes within the guerrillas after such regulations.
"That's it!" Smith nodded with satisfaction and said, "As for registration of military merits and punishments, Battalion Commander Yang and I are jointly responsible for... Do you have any different opinions?"
Of course, these leaders will not have any opinions on this... Just kidding, our two bases can be said to be their parents of food and clothing, and they are also the contributors of the establishment of this alliance. Besides... This is a matter of registering military merits.
We should do it with the "third parties"... although this "third party" is actually not a third party anymore.
So the first alliance of the Afghan guerrillas was established like this, but this so-called alliance in my heart... only four words are used to describe it, that is... a piece of loose sand!
