Babylonian Empire

Finally, the order is issued, shoot down the opponent!

If you don't do it again, it will be even more troublesome when he drops the bomb. Compared with the president, the civilians will of course pay attention to the president first.

In the earphones came the sound of the radar warning receiver. Badal knew that he was in a very dangerous situation now, but his own bomb was about to be dropped, so he had no choice but to continue flying steadily.

An R-27 missile flew out from under the wing of the MiG-29. This radar-guided missile started its first actual combat launch over Afghanistan. However, it did not expect that its target was itself. friendly forces.

At this point, their distance was 35 kilometers.

Badar was counting down in his heart. There were still five seconds before he could press the button in his hand. After pressing the button, he dropped the bomb. He made an emergency evasion, and then fled to the mountainous area in the north, where he , he can go to Persia in the west under the protection of guerrillas.

However, when he counted to three, there was a violent explosion sound from behind. He pressed the button ahead of time, but there was no response at this time. He operated his fighter and tried his best to move towards the The direction of the presidential palace fell past.

Even if it crashes, it will land over the presidential palace!The fuel carried by the plane itself, together with the bomb, will blow up half of the building of the Presidential Palace, and this time, it was not in vain.

However, he didn't succeed. In the next second, his fighter plane exploded into a fireball in the air, and after that, he didn't know anything.

The wreckage of the Su-22 landed on the open space in front of the presidential palace. It was a close call. If it was only a second later, the presidential palace would have been scarred by now.

Although the presidential palace was not harmed, the impact this time was even worse. This is a very unacceptable event!

Defecting by flying a plane is already a vicious incident, and your own pilot flying a plane to bomb the presidential palace of your own side is the most vicious of villains. This incident cannot be concealed below, because many people have witnessed it. This incident, especially among the few Western journalists who remained in Kabul.

This war was originally considered unjust by the West, but now, there has been a defection of the zhèngfǔ army. Therefore, it has given the West a good excuse. The Soviets should have withdrawn their troops from Afghanistan long ago.

Moscow.

When Gorbachev heard the news, a central committee meeting was being held. After he finished the meeting, he immediately called the Minister of Defense, General Yazov and others.

Chapter 997 Satisfactory Solution

"The Afghan Air Force bombed the presidential palace. This is a very serious incident. It shows that the Afghan Air Force has begun to be divided by the Afghan guerrillas. We must take strong measures to prevent this division." Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov said Well, anyway, the image in the president's mind has shrunk. Nikolai doesn't care if President Gorbachev just says a word, he wants to tell the truth and express his thoughts.

"Really?" Gorbachev said, "As elites in the army, how did they get bought by the guerrillas? Can the guerrillas treat them better than the army?"

The guerrillas hid in caves every day. Without the support of external forces, they would have collapsed long ago. Therefore, it was impossible to give a large amount of money to instigate the pilots. Although Gorbachev was not a soldier, he , it is quite clear to see the problem.

Speaking of this, Gorbachev's eyes were fixed on Nikolai, watching how Nikolai answered himself.

"This person is a rebel who entered the army, but the senior leadership of the Afghan Air Force was blinded." Nicholas said.

Up to now, he is still sophistrying that he does not want to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. Gorbachev then asked: "So, under the current situation, can our army win victory in Afghanistan?"

"Yes!" Nicholas said very bluntly: "As long as we mobilize another 29 troops to enter, mobilize [-] MiG-[-] fighter jets, gain air supremacy over Pakistan, and suppress the guerrillas who smuggled weapons from Pakistan." , the final victory must belong to us."

Hearing what Nicholas said, Gorbachev gradually became angry. He suppressed his anger and said in a calm tone: "So, how long do we need? How much budget do we need?"

"Two years, 200 billion rubles." Nikolai confronted each other without any compromise.

"The war in Afghanistan has been going on for nearly nine years. Our direct investment has already amounted to 500 billion rubles. Our indirect losses include the resettlement of wounded soldiers and the pensions of soldiers who died in battle. They should have been invested in production and construction, but instead The production of ammunition at full capacity will exceed 1000 billion rubles.” Gorbachev said: “Now, our country is in debt every year, and we can’t even supply enough bread on our shelves. Should the people save money and save money for the army to carry out such a war that has nothing to do with us? Do we need to invest another 200 billion rubles? Do we have to take out all the funds for exporting oil and throw it in Afghanistan to burn? drop?"

Hearing this, Yazov lowered his head. He knew that what the president said is actually very correct. The Soviet Union, this huge empire, has entered its old age, and it is difficult for them to accept the termination of this war emotionally. , However, this is indeed a correct choice of the Soviet Union.

It's just that under this huge empire, a group of people with real power are unwilling to end this war. They want to continue fighting in Afghanistan for the sake of that false name and for the so-called powerful empire.

"However, even Pakistan is underestimating us now. When they saw that we were about to withdraw their troops, they took the initiative to invade the airspace of Afghanistan. Under such circumstances, if we withdraw our troops, it will only show our cowardice." Nicholas said.

Now, Gorbachev is convinced that there must be something hidden about the conflict with Pakistan this time, but he has no evidence that General Gromov in Afghanistan is not his cronies.

"General Secretary, an urgent document from the Iraqi side." At this moment, the secretary hurried in.

What Gorbachev wanted to say about removing Nicholas from power and sending him to the Dnieper River to retire in retirement, he hadn't said anything yet, so he had to swallow the words for the time being, and then picked up the document.

After glancing at it, he immediately frowned, and gradually relaxed it after he finished reading.

The military has concealed one thing from itself. Two Su-22 fighters actually defected to Pakistan!

The fighter plane that bombed the presidential palace was only reported because it could not be covered, while the two Su-22 fighter planes were completely ignored. These things are very representative when they are connected together. xìng.

In other words, the Afghans have begun to feel extremely disgusted with the Soviet garrison, not only the guerrillas, but even the zhèngfǔ army, this trend has begun to surge.

The invasion of Afghanistan was originally thought to be a piece of fat, but the current situation is a bitter fruit.

Defection, or even defection, means that if the Soviet army continues to be stationed there, it will face more dangers, which in turn strengthens Gorbachev's idea of ​​​​withdrawing troops from Afghanistan.

Only withdrawing troops is their most correct choice. Afghanistan, this is purely a bottomless pit.

Looking further down, he was more satisfied, because, at the invitation of the Soviet Union, President Qusay of Iraq personally dispatched to Pakistan to strive for peace between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

However, the Pakistani zhèngfǔ was very tough and rejected President Qusay's so-called apology from the Soviet Union. When the negotiations were about to reach a deadlock, the defection of the fighter plane occurred.

Although Pakistan did not agree to the Soviet Union's request, Pakistan finally agreed to return the two Su-22 fighters to the Soviet Union.Although the two pilots applied for political asylum and were protected by Pakistan, it was a good result that Pakistan agreed to return the fighter plane. If it hadn't been for Qusay's persuasion, it would never have been possible. Sent to the United States for research.

Pakistan's initiative to return the fighter plane is considered a gesture, and it also represents Pakistan's actual actions to achieve peace between the borders of the two countries.

Moreover, with this statement, it is possible to block certain people's mouths, restrain one's own air force, and prohibit friction on the border.

At the same time, carry out the withdrawal plan, gradually withdraw your own troops, and stop this meaningless war!Looking at Nikolai, Gorbachev knew that there was power behind Nikolai, but he must complete this plan. All of this is for this country!

... The increasingly tense situation in Afghanistan has brought the world's attention to this place. However, the preconceived impression is naturally that the Soviet Union is wrong, and it is the Soviet Union's aggression that triggered this series of disputes.It is gratifying that this matter has not developed in a worse direction. The Afghan side, including the Soviet Air Force, has begun to avoid areas close to the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The most worrying situation is that the Soviet Union may attack Pakistani military bases ,Did not happen.

There are indications that the Soviet Union is already preparing to withdraw its troops.

Near I-S-Rambah, Mount Shakbari.

Now, it is the end of 87. There was a heavy snow a few days ago, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.

Just in this season, the small mountain park on the top of the mountain welcomes many visitors.

This mountain is called the Friendship Mountain because it is the place where many foreign leaders who visit Pakistan plant commemorative trees.Since Premier Zhou Enlai planted a tallow tree here on February 1964, 2, which symbolizes the friendship between China and Pakistan, many Chinese leaders who visited Pakistan have come here to plant commemorative trees to express the deep friendship of the Chinese people to the Pakistani people.

On the treetops, there were still countless white snowflakes. Qu Sai looked at these trees, many of which had grown thick.

"President Qusay, it's a pity that it's winter, otherwise, you should have planted a tree here." President Zia-Haq said.

"Yes, but I believe that the friendship tree between Iraq and Pakistan has already been planted in our hearts." Qusay said.

Speaking of this, President Zia-ul-Haq smiled: "Yes, like China, Iraq is our closest friend to Pakistan. This article will be written into our constitution."

"In order to enhance our friendship, and at the same time, for the convenience of our trade, I propose to build a railway from Baghdad to Islamabad. What do you think?" Qusay asked.

Build a railway?President Zia-ul-Haq knows that the convenience of transportation will promote the development of the economy on a larger scale, so the construction of the railway is very beneficial to Pakistan, but now the Pakistani government is required to provide funds to build a railway The railway, because there is no budget, I am afraid it will be very difficult.

Because Pakistan has been secretly funding the cause of the liberation of the Afghan people, Pakistan's national expenditure is also very large.

"We in Iraq can provide a guarantee for low-interest loans from Arab commercial banks, and the repayment will be repaid year by year from the income of the railway after it is put into operation. What do you think?" Qusay asked.

Loans to build roads, and then rely on buying road money to repay debts, this is a common method used by later generations of Eastern powers. This method has led to rapid development of railways and highways in Eastern countries, but later, it became a bit deformed.
