Yurid went out, and Kusey looked at the large-scale military map on the wall, still thinking.

On the surface, this incident has nothing to do with Iraq, but Kusai always feels that in later generations, Afghanistan in turmoil is not in Iraq's interests.

Now, the Taliban organization that later generations, which has not officially come into people's sight. If he starts to make arrangements in Afghanistan now, he should have many opportunities.

I think about this a little bit too much. What I need now is how to deal with the problems of the Soviet Union and Pakistan.

If the Soviet Union really fights with Pakistan, then there will be no benefit to both sides. There is no final conflict of interest between Pakistan and the Soviet Union. This is just an unexpected event. The two sides have been in border friction for several years, but they have not fought because both sides are relatively restrained, but this time, it is obvious that the situation is a bit out of control.

For Pakistan, the key point they need to be prepared for is that India behind them, Pakistan and India are the mortal enemies. If they see a war on Pakistan on the Western Front, it is not difficult to guarantee that India will have any new ideas.

Kashmir region is always a powder keg.

For the Soviet Union, what the Soviet Union now needs is to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, and the Soviet Union has no money to continue investing in that bottomless pit. Therefore, the most reasonable plan for ending the war between the two sides is.

But those who were stirring up the water behind, Kusai also knew that the water was very deep, and those people were the ones who truly controlled the power of the Soviet Union. They controlled these key departments and sang against Gorbachev in this kind of thing.

So, how would Gorbachev take the initiative? Will he throw out his new set of theories of thinking and start a wave of ideological errors?

Perhaps Iraq mediated from it and let both sides end the dispute? This idea suddenly appeared in Kusai's mind.

………

"What's going on in this incident?" Gorbachev stared at General Yazov, the Minister of Defense in front of him. He still trusted the person he personally promoted. However, the current tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan made him very annoyed.

In fact, before and after the entire incident, Yazov was able to guess the general situation, which must have been a deliberate action. The entire incident, the taste of artificial director was too strong.

But can he say it directly because the people below were dissatisfied with the General Secretary's decision to withdraw troops and took a small move? In this way, I don't know how many people in the military will be affected. Last time, because at the meeting where Gorbachev wanted to withdraw troops, Yazov said nothing, and many people in the military said behind his weakness. This time, if he tells his inference to the General Secretary, there will definitely be a group of people who are unlucky, and those people's dissatisfaction with him will be even more powerful.

Yazov knew that although he became the Minister of Defense, he was not able to call the wind and rain. Behind him, some hidden forces could still give this army a great influence, and they could manipulate some middle-level personnel in the military. This has long been a huge network of relationships.

Can you break it? Yazov knows that his energy is not enough.

"From this incident, there is a greater possibility of misunderstandings." Yazov said: "Although we often fly in the border areas of Afghanistan and sometimes have some friction with the Pakistan Air Force, there has not been a fierce confrontation. The cause of this incident was that an An26 transport plane was shot down by the Pakistan Air Force. It is very likely that our plane had trekked and entered Pakistani airspace. Because now, all the wreckage of the plane announced by Pakistan are in Pakistan. However, more than 30 people on the plane died innocently, and the relationship between the two air forces will be immediately tense. They both took off fighter planes and cruised. There is no specific line in the air. Therefore, flying over to the other side's airspace will happen inadvertently, and thus, it is possible to cause air confrontation between the two sides."

Gorbachev's shortcomings are that he has never served in the army, so he is not familiar with these things at all. Under Yazov's description, this time it turned into an accidental event. Some misunderstandings occurred between the two sides, and then the gun went off, and it became more and more serious. That's it.

According to the attitude of the previous General Secretary, the Soviet Union was powerful. Even if it was the fault of the Soviet Union, it would be said that it was the other party's mistake. Moreover, it must be found enough face. The Soviet Union will never suffer any losses.

However, for the newly appointed general secretary, he always likes to say verbally, that is, reform, but as a result, economic reform did not see any results, and the glory of the army was first eliminated.

So, Yazov just tried his best to explain the cause of this incident to Gorbachev, but he did not provide any advice on how to deal with the current problem.

Although, from Yazov's own thoughts, since Pakistan dares to shoot down its own fighter jets, it is necessary to let the Pakistani people know that it is a price to go against the Soviet Air Force. Moreover, to attack the Pakistani Air Force is telling the United States not to attack Afghanistan!

However, obviously, General Secretary Gorbachev definitely does not want this incident to make a big deal.

"Is that true? So, since that's the case, we need to communicate to avoid this kind of thing from happening again and affecting our withdrawal plan." Gorbachev said.

"General Secretary," at this time, Yazov finally began to put forward his own opinions: "In this situation, if we are still taking action to withdraw troops, we will show our weakness, which is very unfavorable to the maintenance of our morale. Even if we want to withdraw troops, we must obtain an advantage over Pakistan before we can withdraw troops. Otherwise, the military will show weakness to the outside world and will only have a counterproductive effect on our Soviet image."

"Is that true?" At this time, Gorbachev looked at Yazov, and he stared at Yazov intently.

Yazov was stared for dozens of seconds and finally said, "General Secretary, you must know that only by gaining the support of the middle and lower-level military personnel is truly supported by the military. It is not that if the Minister of Defense has changed, the army will be controlled. If our army comes back like this, there will probably be a large number of military personnel who will be dissatisfied."

"I only know that the army must obey national interests. The army must obey the construction of our country. A false name is useless." Gorbachev said: "If we did not launch the Afghan war incorrectly, then the current domestic situation will not deteriorate to this point. Our country's war machines are very powerful. But what is the use for improving the living standards of the people? Now the people need to queue up for an hour to buy bread. No matter how many aircraft and missiles we make and occupy more land, what is the use? The people will be dissatisfied with their current situation! We have invested tens of billions of rubles just for a false name? For a dream of fighting for hegemony? What's the use of tens of thousands of soldiers? You said, is it useful to fight for hegemony when our country cannot solve the life problems of the people in our country?"

Hearing this, Yazov finally spoke: "Yes, General Secretary, withdrawing troops from Afghanistan is the right choice."

"Then find a way to solve the current problem," Gorbachev said: "We cannot magnify the situation, we must resolve the dispute peacefully."

A peaceful solution, but it is not easy to lose face to the Soviet military. This is not an easy choice. If the Soviet Union directly sends people over, then it is just a bow. This is not possible. However, finding an intermediary to discuss is a good choice.

Who is the middleman looking for? This person must have a good relationship with the Soviet Union and Pakistan. In his mind, Yazov remembered that he came and asked Kusai Abdullah to go. This person had a very good relationship with the Soviet Union. He ordered a large number of arms from the Soviet Union, allowing the Soviet military-industrial enterprises to develop steadily. If he had not ordered a heavy aircraft cruiser, the Varyag on the ship might have been stopped by the General Secretary. Moreover, when the nuclear power plant malfunctioned, it was Iraq that extended a hand of friendship and provided selfless assistance to ensure that the aftermath of the nuclear power plant was completed quickly and efficiently, without any worse situation.

As for Pakistan, both sides are in the Islamic world, and they have similarities in many places. The relationship between the two sides is also very good. For example, the Super Seven Fighters equipped by the Pakistan Air Force were imported from Iraq. This kind of fighter jet has caused losses to its own air force.

Who would have thought that Iraq has done better in some areas than the Soviet Union? The equipment imported by Iraq from the Soviet Union is all that Iraq cannot produce by itself. However, if it cannot produce by itself now, it does not mean that it will not be able to produce by itself in the future. Iraq has been catching up.

"We can find Kusai Abdullah of Iraq to complete the peaceful settlement of this incident." Yazov said: "We have to make our military believe that it is Pakistan who first expresses peace sincerity to us, and they need to apologize to us."

Looking for Kusai Gorbachev, thinking of that young man from the Middle East, is not bad, he is a very good candidate!

"We will deal with this matter immediately, so that our air force will restrain itself and stop patrolling the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan." Gorbachev said: "If something similar happens again, let General Gromov return to Moscow immediately."
