    Unknowingly, during an inspection trip, the commander of the military region who had been controlled by Yuri was replaced. The Red Police spy who had been transformed into his appearance became the commander of the Far East Military Region's more than 100,000 troops.  people.  The news was passed back to Qi Yiming's office, and Mo Xiantong, the staff member responsible for coordinating the work, put a checkmark on Novozlov's name with a red pen.  The whole list is very long, with the name in the front and the nationality in the back. Some of the names will be familiar to future generations - Nazarbayev (Kazakhstan), Karimov (Uzbekistan), Orchi  Butt (Mongolia)¡­

    This is a chart of power manipulation drawn up by Qi Yiming. The people in it are either powerful local figures in the Soviet Union, military leaders, authorities in the republics or leaders of pro-Soviet countries, and even some will be released in the future.  The politicians of Guangming were also replaced in advance by Qi Yiming.

    This approach can certainly play a certain role, but unless it is the kind of regional and national dictator who enjoys huge authority, some places such as Mongolia, where power is not concentrated enough, only replace one person. If his political views cannot be more widely accepted,  Without the support of political circles, he cannot even stay on the throne of power.  Therefore, how to use these hidden stakes is a very particular matter. Qi Yiming does not intend to let them do anything that will benefit China and harm his country. He only needs them to support China openly and covertly, which may not necessarily reach the level of Nanyang Kingdom.  , but there is still a lot of room for operation.

    Mo Xiantong handed the list to Qi Yiming. Qi Yiming glanced at it briefly and said: "This is really a big project, and it will only trouble Jacqueline and Yuri."

    Jacqueline is a lone hero who can penetrate into all kinds of dangerous places, even under heavy guard.  And Yuri's ability can stabilize those politicians before they are replaced, and then successfully complete the swap.  However, Qi Yiming was also a little helpless. The two heroes were not at odds with each other. He had already received the report last night. Jacqueline beat Yuri up and even broke two of his ribs.

    He wouldn¡¯t punish Jacqueline for this kind of thing. He knew that Yuri, a bald man, was really annoying sometimes. In addition, the two people¡¯s natural alignments didn¡¯t match, so it was normal for them to cause a little trouble.  Qi Yiming was considering that if something like this happened in the future, someone else could lead Yuri, or let Jacqueline charge into the battle and Yuri take the lead, so as to avoid unnecessary chaos after the two of them faced off.

    In February of this year, the Soviet Union completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan, but the Najibullah puppet regime that remained in Afghanistan completely lost its ability to control it.  The government forces still have a certain influence in the capital of Kabul in the north, but more places are controlled by armed factions of all sizes. At this time, the mujahideen group that originally resisted the Soviet army is on the verge of collapse. In the Red Alert  With the support of al-Qaeda, Omar led the Taliban to sweep through the southern region and established a force with 50,000 regular troops and widespread support from the people.

    Omar¡¯s Taliban not only fight against government forces, but also against jihadists.  Because some jihadist forces had armed conflicts with the Taliban before, Omar declared that any faction that did not abide by the laws and commands of the current Taliban government was an illegal armed force and was also a target of the Taliban.

    At first, some people thought that Omar was a paranoid act of rejecting other "just forces", but then the facts told everyone that the Taliban and other jihadist factions are not of the same magnitude at all. As long as the Taliban takes action, no jihadist faction can  Can be blocked.

    Omar used high-ranking officials, generous salaries and various other benefits to win over a group of jihadists. They lurked among other armed forces and informed the Taliban through special methods. Therefore, when the Taliban determined to attack them, these armed forces basically had no choice.  Any chance of escape was wiped out.

    This tactic also caused many jihadist armed forces to become turbulent and intimidated. Some leaders believed that there was a mole in their team, so they carried out purges and investigations, which also caused a large number of conflicts and mergers. In this way, these small-scale  The jihadist forces have become even more vulnerable.

    However, in the northern region where the Taliban is relatively weak, Massoud and a group of Tajiks, Hazaras, and Uzbeks united some Tajik forces who were unwilling to obey the Pashtun-dominated Taliban and established the Northern Alliance.  Because the Northern Alliance is closer to the Kabul area, they have not yet started a direct confrontation with the Taliban. Instead, they are making full efforts to conquer Kabul and occupy the capital, thereby gaining legitimacy.

    Today's Kandahar has not seen gunpowder smoke and flames of war for a long time. People here seem to have forgotten that the country is still in the midst of a civil war. I don't know when the soldiers patrolling the streets with guns have also changed to wearing black short-sleeved shirts.  HLICF text police.

    The Taliban has governed Kandahar and other southern areas for almost a year, allowing the local economy and society to recover and develop to a certain extent.  Omar has certain economic and governance talents. He issued a series of policies to encourage the development of industry and agriculture, andA number of collective farms and collectively owned factories were opened to recruit people who had fled or lost their livelihoods to work.

    In order to liberate productivity, Omar opened most of the professions to women. In the previous great purges, any die-hards who opposed Omar's religious and social policies had been eliminated. Therefore, all the policies he implemented after that, even if some people were dissatisfied with them, had no control over them.  He kept his mouth shut tightly, not daring to speak nonsense, for fear of being arrested by the Kandahar secret police and then dying inexplicably.

    The scale of the prosperous Kandahar is also expanding, and some people have begun to build more modern buildings, adding some new colors to the originally very Islamic city.

    The recovery of the economy has given many Afghans hope. Other jihadist groups are getting stronger, but no one can tell what will happen after they come to power. Only the Taliban can protect the country and the people and restore economic vitality after taking control of the territory.  , has been recognized by ordinary people.  Because the areas under the Taliban are relatively safe and easy for people to survive, many people, with their families and on camels, fled to the areas controlled by the Taliban, far away from their war-torn hometowns. The population of Kandahar increased by 40% in one year.  There were so many refugees, and other nearby cities also diverted many refugees there.  A larger population naturally pushes the Taliban forward.

    Naturally, it is not enough to have the ability to govern without the ability to protect one's own political achievements. What is truly respected by the outside world is the Taliban's regular armed force.

    Omar is nominally the supreme commander of the Taliban armed forces, but in fact, except for the 36-member "Supreme Holy Guard" which he personally commands and is based in Kandahar, he has entrusted all other regular troops, including the Holy Guard composed of Red Alert soldiers, to  Professional general.  These professional generals are basically Red Police soldiers, and there are also a small number of Afghans who have surrendered or been recognized by Omar.  They all have one more prominent feature, that is, they are extremely loyal to Omar, and they are all devout Muslims.  In such an atmosphere, the atmosphere of the army appears to be very rigorous and religious.  However, this trend of thought also makes the military's combat effectiveness and morale extremely high.

    The Taliban armed forces are basically light infantry with heavy firepower such as AK4E and a few mortars. They are mainly composed of base militia and other jihadists recruited by Omar and newly recruited locals.  Although not very well trained, their morale and discipline are impressive.

    This is due to the ideological and political construction system of the army established by Omar. In fact, this thing is a political commissar system of the red country. However, in the Taliban army, the political commissar is not called political commissar, but called Mu'anzin, which means auxiliary.  Mu Anjin's lowest position is the company level, which is the same as the political commissar and the same level as the military commander.  They basically do not intervene in military command, but are responsible for the psychological construction and ideological work of combatants.  Mu'anzin presided over daily prayers, held regular sermons, and strengthened the soldiers' faith in Allah and their loyalty to the Taliban and Omar.

    In this process, an inevitable result emerged, that is, Muzans described Omar as a saint sent by Allah to save Afghanistan from the disaster. Only by listening to Omar's teachings and following Omar's footsteps can we be saved.  .  This kind of deified statement itself has a certain market, so it became very popular in the military for a while.

    This approach will not have any negative effects in the short term, but if Omar begins to become sluggish in his old age like many leaders, it may also cause great consequences.  However, although Omar worked hard to stir things up in Afghanistan, there was always a rope behind him that was held by Qi Yiming, who was thousands of miles away in the capital.  Qi Yiming didn't know if the Red Alert spies had ever acted stupidly, but even if they had, he had ways to avoid things he didn't want to see happen.

    Omar¡¯s strong military has naturally attracted the attention of many foreign forces. The CIA of the United States had contacted the Taliban before, but because of its arrogance, Omar castrated the contact person.  This naturally aroused the anger of the Americans, but it was obvious that no force capable of replacing the Taliban would emerge in the short term. The Americans had to swallow their teeth and choose to support the Taliban again, even sending money and goods.  .

    From the perspective of the United States, the Taliban can be an excellent means to contain the Soviet Union.  The Soviet Union has withdrawn its troops, but its influence still exists in Afghanistan. If the Taliban can liquidate the puppet regime and completely drive out the Soviet forces, then the Soviet Union will really lose everything.  The United States was keen on doing anything that would cause obstacles to the Soviet Union, so it would not miss this opportunity.

    Similarly, countries such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have also given certain support to the Taliban.  But, not surprisingly, a player relatively new to the international political scene is one of the most ambitious in the sponsorship game.
