"Buzz, buzz." A Steyr heavy truck was driving in the mountains in northern Afghanistan. The driving wheels of the rear double axles were pressed softly. Obviously, it was also overloaded here. Just look at the ore on it, it was probably forty or fifty tons.

The mountain road only allows one car to drive, so when you see the cars coming from the opposite side, you will be waiting in the right position. If you want to reverse the car, you will be able to turn the car empty. This is the rule here.

When the car was gasping and climbing up a hillside, the driver got off from it. Although he was wearing the common robe here, the lines on his face had obvious characteristics as a North Caucasian, which was a Soviet man!

"Shostako, this trip is good, how many tons have you pulled?" A car came over from the other side, and an Afghan man got out of the car and asked him.

In Afghanistan, the Soviets and Afghans can live in peace, which is simply unimaginable. Even if the superiors quietly negotiate, the lower part is still facing a great enemy, and here, both sides seem to be good friends.

Shostako, whose real name is Ivanov Shostakovich, was a soldier of the Soviet Special Forces. During a battle, his squad was abandoned by the above and died to his last man. Finally, when he woke up again, he found that he was rescued by the Afghans in a hospital in the Panjshir Valley.

He should feel lucky that it was not Osama's troops who fought him, but the gentle Durani's.

Afterwards, after recovering from his injuries, Shostakovic also integrated into life here. He taught the soldiers here to use Soviet weapons, including the captured tanks and armored vehicles, but he would not go to the battlefield again. If he confronted his country's army, he would not be able to do it for the time being.

At the same time, the Afghan government also gave him great autonomy. Later, he contracted such a heavy truck to earn freight. After working for more than a year, the car was repaid.

Compared to the Soviet system, he liked it more, at least he didn't have to worry about food and drink, and he was also very rich.

"Forty-five tons," Shostakovic said: "This time I pulled a little more, so I have to pay more attention when going down the mountain."

He said, turning on the faucet. Every car running in this mountainous area has been renovated and has a large water tank in it. The pipeline has been paved and the water will be poured directly on the brake drum. While watering, it will go downhill so that when the brake is pressed, it will not overheat.

The hillside is just a waste of fuel, and this downhill is downhill. If you are not careful, there will be a serious accident. Shostakovic is careful.

When we drove out of the mountains, it was already evening. After eating in a small shop on the side of the road, Shostakovic was preparing to travel overnight and to go to the steel mill in Pakistan tomorrow to transport the ores.

Just as he finished his meal, he saw several people driving an off-road vehicle to his car.

"Shostakovic?" A man in Afghan Free Army uniform got out of the car.

"Well, it's me." Shostakovic said.

"Congratulations. You can return to the Soviet Union." The visitor said: "The Soviet Union negotiated with our government and we decided to release all prisoners of war."

Returning to the Soviet Union? Shostakovic shook his head: "No. I won't leave, I'm doing a good life here."

When returning to the Soviet Union, you have to queue up to buy a bun, not just money can buy it. If you return to the Soviet Union, even if you forged the identity of a prisoner of war, what can you do? You'd better live here! He even planned to change his beliefs and find a wife here.

"Shostakovic, you have a more important task." The visitor said: "Please come with us."

"My truck," Shostakovic said, "I still have ore to transport."

"Don't worry about your truck. If you need it, we can give you a new truck at any time." The visitor continued.

I got on the off-road vehicle and headed towards Islamabad while galloping on the mountain road.

What's the matter? Who is looking for me? What's the mission? Shostakovic is very strange.

After entering Islamabad, the convoy continued to advance and entered a building in the city center.

After the notice, the car waited for a while before driving in, and waited in the room next to it for half an hour. Finally, Shostakovic was taken to a large office.

A young man walked towards Shostakovic and said, "Shostakovic, I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have been busy with my affairs and have never seen you. I finally saw you this time. The war will eventually go away. Only after experiencing the war can you know the preciousness of peace. You are a witness to the friendship between our Afghanistan and the Soviet Union."

What the other party said made Shostakovic feel a warm current in his heart. He gave up on his superiors, and at the same time, he did not completely betray his motherland. The positioning given to him by the other party is a witness to the friendship between Afghanistan and the Soviet Union, and it is an explanation that he can accept.

Who is this person? He is very young, but the momentum emitted by the other party's every move is definitely a big shot, and he is in the capital of Pakistan. Is it?

Shostakovic felt inexplicably excited: "May I ask, are you Pakistani President Mhamad?"

"Yes, it's me," said Mhamad. "This time, the Soviet Union applied to us to release prisoners of war, and all the Soviets could return to their motherland."

"I'm not a prisoner of war," Shostakovic said. "I don't want to go back to the Soviet Union. I like it very much. If I can, I even hope to be a member of Afghanistan or Pakistani nationality."

Shostakovic never treated himself as a prisoner of war. Prisoners of war were called prisoners of war when surrendered. At that time, he was injured and unconscious, and he did not surrender at all. He was not a prisoner of war.

"Oh? Why do you like this?" asked Mhamad.

It is quite rare for a Soviet man to fall in love with this land.

"There are abundant minerals here, and you can get wealth through your own labor. Moreover, the food here is sufficient and there are no restrictions. I like this system very much," said Shostakovic.
