Chapter 39 The Huge Mire
"We only met yesterday. The first impression that Lieutenant Mhamad gave me was very profound." Ball said: "You are a real warrior. We in the United States support warriors like Lieutenant Mhamad the most."
After saying that, Ball reached out and shook hands at Mhamad.
The two hands were tightly held together, and the two of them had smiles on their faces, as if they were very friendly old friends.
It was not until two minutes before the two of them separated their hands. Mhamad put his hands on his back and shook them twice. Damn, it hurts so much! This guy's hand is so strong!
At the same time, Ball on the opposite side also made the same move, with his hands behind him, as if his mouth was still twitching.
"Come on, Mr. Ball, please sit down." Mushahav said to Ball with a smile as if he had seen nothing.
When Ball turned to sit down, Mhamad could see that the guy's hands were swollen. It seemed that his hand was stronger.
"We don't have to chat." Ball said: "I came this time and received the order from the president. The Sprig missile was just developed by us. The performance is not very stable. I'm sorry, it cannot be provided to the Afghan guerrillas. The Tao-style anti-tank missile is complex in operation and is afraid that the guerrillas will not be able to master it. However, our CIA has obtained three hundred RPG-7s through secret channels, which can be provided to you. The RPG-7 can penetrate the main armor of the Soviet tanks and can also beat the female deer down from the sky."
It is undeniable that the RPG-7 is a mature and simple weapon. This weapon can be seen in every war. However, this thing is just a large amount of use. As for the results, it cannot be compared with the stinger.
RPG-7 is an uncontrolled rocket-boosted grenade. After being launched, it is in an inertial flight process. Whether it can hit the target, besides having the experience of a shooter, the rest is to pray for blessing from Allah. If you want to use the most familiar example, this thing is similar to a Sky-Sky Monkey.
To shoot down a female deer, you have to shoot dozens of rockets. If you just fire a rocket, it's fine. The key is that when the shooter launches, he cannot shoot down the helicopter, and he will only be killed by the helicopter. Helicopters are natural enemies of infantry, as simple as an eagle catching a chicken.
Mhamad was unwilling to fill in the life of his human beings, and he had no sincerity in 300 RPG-7.
"Mr. Ball, the war now happens on the land of Afghanistan, do you know, what does that mean?" Mhamad asked Ball.
Hearing Mhamad's question, Baul said without hesitation: "The Soviets blatantly invaded a sovereign state regardless of international norms. This is an act of violating the UN Charter. The international community expressed extreme opposition to the Soviet Union. The Afghan people, without fear of the Soviets' strength, resolutely took up weapons and defended their country. Our entire West expressed support for the Afghan people. The guerrilla warfare of the Afghan people is just."
Mhamad shook his head: "Mr. Ball, politics are dirty. Don't say so sacredly. Why don't your country support those wars in Africa?"
"Lt. Mhamad, pay attention to your words." Musha Af said. Although Musha Af is superior to the Ball in front of him, Ball represents the United States, especially now, Ball is directly responsible to the US president, reporting on the situation here and asking for support weapons. This person must not be offended. In order to support this guy, Pakistan even allows this guy to open a bar on the street.
Mhamad immediately lowered his head: "Sorry, Mr. Ball, my words have no intention of violating the dignity of your country. I just want to say that the Afghan war won the support of the Western world because of the Soviet Union. In essence, this is a war between the West and the Soviet Union, and it is only carried out through the hands of the Afghan people. You said, am I right?"
This was the first conversation between Ball and Mhamad. This talk brought great shock to Ball, so that more than ten years later, when Mhamad had become a hegemon and gradually drifted away from the United States, Ball still attached great importance to Mhamad. This is a powerful opponent with keen political insight.
Mhamad is not only a soldier, but also has absolute political talent.
"For the Western world, as long as you help the Afghan people and win this war, you will win a victory against the Soviet Union." Mhamad said: "It is precisely because of this reason that I sent to Afghanistan to help train the guerrillas there. However, this view is not completely accurate. The significance of the Afghan war is far from defeating the red Soviet Union. It has a deeper meaning!"
Mhamad glanced at Ball. This guy was looking at him with his glowing eyes. Mhamad couldn't help but feel satisfied in his heart. I don't believe in fooling you.
Mhamad relies not on his political sensitivity, but on his knowledge from later generations.
The Afghan War completely defeated the Soviet Union when it was poor, and when it was poor, it wanted to change. Gorbachev wanted to reform, but found that if he wanted to reform the economy, he had to reform politics first. This reform destroyed the Soviet Union.
Without the Afghan War, although the Soviet Union was destined to collapse, it would definitely last for a few more years.
Even Musha Af was looking at Mhamad with a divine look, waiting for Mhamad's words below.
"Afghanistan will be a huge quagmire. Since the Soviet giant put his feet into this quagmire, it will not pull out again. They will sink deeper and deeper. In the end, not only will they not be able to pull out their feet, but they will also sink his entire body into it. This huge giant will gradually consume his energy in this quagmire. When he is exhausted, it is when he disappears." Mhamad made an image metaphor.
Mhamad knew he had successfully told Ball.
Mhamad did not speak, and Musha Av did not speak. Both of them were thinking about the new ideas that Mhamad, a low-level second lieutenant, brought them.
"Now, for the Afghan guerrillas, the biggest threat is the Soviet female deer. This time I was in the guerrilla battle in Afghanistan, I was constantly threatened by the female deer. In order to eliminate this threat, I ventured into the helicopter base in Jalalabad and killed the helicopters there. In order to continue fighting, the Soviets could only mobilize new helicopters from the country. The cost of a female deer was 5.5 million US dollars. The loss of these dozen female deer was more than 60 million US dollars. How much crude oil had to be exported in the Soviet Union to exchange for these losses?" Mhamad said: "This tactic can only be carried out once. The Soviets will strengthen the defense of the base. We will not have a second chance. If we have a stinger, we can continue to kill the Soviet helicopters, causing heavy losses to the Soviets."
"Modern warfare is the economy. When the financial resources of the Soviets were consumed completely because of the Afghan war, the Soviet Union would find that the money they should have bought bread was used to build aircraft and consumed. The Soviets would be dissatisfied with their current living conditions. The Soviet Union would fall into a terrible dilemma. All of this depends on how much damage the Afghan guerrillas caused to the Soviets on the battlefield in Afghanistan." Mhamad said: "We need stingers and pottery anti-tank missiles."
It seems that his deception is effective. Mhamad finally said to Ball: "His Excellency Ball, please tell your most trusted president that the Afghan guerrillas need stingers and pottery anti-tank missiles. Your country only needs to provide weapons. The Afghan guerrillas contribute their passion and life. We drag down the Soviet Union for the same goal!"
"I will tell the President all these words," said Ball. "You know, we are democratic countries, exporting these weapons, and passing the votes of those in the parliamentarians, and sometimes the president is in a difficult position."
"Mr. Ball, didn't you just say that the stinger is not mature yet?" said Mhamad.
Ball found that his conversation with Mhamad was always following the other party's ideas. In fact, what he didn't use today was just that he saw Mhamad last night and wanted to continue to have an in-depth exchange with Mhamad.
"Lt. Mhamad, let's talk about this later. Let's talk about the beautiful Aisha beside you." Ball said.
Aisha? Did this guy know that Aisha was taken in by herself for a night? CIA is indeed omnipresent.
After leaving the headquarters, Mhamad felt very happy. Although Ball was going to ask the US President for instructions, Mhamad felt that the US President should agree that Reagan, who was born as an actor, had great expectations for defeating the Soviet Union.
When he walked out of the headquarters, Mhamad stopped for a moment, and under the big tree on the street, a girl was standing there, and when she saw Mhamad come out, she had a smile on her face.
"Aisha?" Mhamad saw the girl and immediately shouted: "Why are you here?"
"I forgot to tell you that the radio station is on vacation today, so I don't have to go." Aisha said, "I saw you enter here in the room and I have been waiting for you outside."
The guesthouse in the military region is not far from here, and Mhamad is also for convenience. Who would have thought that this girl would see it?
Aisha naturally took Mhamad's arm: "I'm hungry."
Hungry? Mhamad said, "Okay, let's go and have milk tea."
