"The main ethnic groups in Afghanistan account for about half of the total population, but in fact these people are likely to be unable to handle it. Afghanistan is a multi-ethnic country. Many northern ethnic groups are important ethnic minorities in Central Asia. It is precisely this reason that our leadership has complained about your tough policies, because your actions in Afghanistan may trigger the Soviet Union's ethnic policy in Central Asia." Serov spread his hands and said frankly, "Cross-border ethnic groups are so difficult to deal with."

"It seems that many Soviet leaders are afraid that I will be too cruel to the ethnic minorities in the north?" Amin originally wanted to defend himself, but immediately saw Selov igniting a cigar and smoking hard. He said with disapproval, "That's because they think that I don't think these cross-border nations have anything to do with the Soviet Union. They do not have the nationality of the Soviet Union. These nations are all time. But I have to show an equality. In fact, our policies are already very equal."

Well? Amin looked at Selov for a moment and didn't know what to say. Is this KGB president really? Very rare honesty, it's simply terrible. Even the ethnic minorities in his own country are reasonable choices.

"I'm talking about Afghanistan. How to use the relations of these ethnic groups to achieve the goal of establishing a unified government. With the current basic conditions of Afghanistan, it is very difficult to solve independently. If you want to increase the success rate, there is only one way to rectify the arms and transfer the contradictions abroad." Serov said coldly, "In other words, you must attack Pakistan."

"Attack Pakistan? But Pakistan's strength is above us and its population is greater than us." Amin was stunned and then smiled gently, "Comrade Selov, so many preparations are to allow Afghanistan to attack Pakistan and eliminate this sister country. By the way, China's current relationship with the United States seems to be getting more and more harmonious. Does the Soviet Union want to choose a pro-American country to beat it? The idea is good, but using Afghanistan as a use is not in line with the friendly relations between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan."

Many people believe that China is currently fighting with Vietnam, which is extremely disrespectful to the Soviet Union. There are many such remarks within the socialist camp. It is not difficult to understand that the Soviet Union wants to seek breakthroughs from another place.

But as Amin said, Afghanistan is not a rival to Pakistan from its population to its area. It is difficult to attack Pakistan with the strength of Afghanistan itself. Why should we take the risk of being a pioneer for the Soviet Union?

"Is this not good for Afghanistan? You should know that because of the Duran Line issue, Pakistan has occupied more than 100,000 Afghan land, and wherever it lives, the main ethnic group of Afghanistan is. Half of the population of one country is under the rule of another country. This is a huge insult to the leaders of any country. But Comrade Amin doesn't seem to care!" Shelov's eyes rolled up and looked at the other party with a look of a sensation of fire.

This time it was Amin's turn to remain silent. He also knew that half of his national population was under the rule of Pakistan. As Selov said, it was a huge shame for any leader. Moreover, there were voices in Afghanistan that wanted to regain territory, especially among Amin's own nationality and the Pashtun people, the main Afghan ethnic group, the strongest voice in regaining territory.

Due to the issue of the British Empire's border demarcation, the Pashtuns were divided. The Pashtuns were not ethnic minorities. The Pashtuns accounted for 40% of the Afghan population and were the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan. Not only that, the Pashtuns are also the official language of Afghanistan. The modern Afghanistan countries were also constructed by the Pashtuns.

You should know that the Russian Empire, which left a strong impression of expansion, also chose ethnic minority areas in the expansion policy of neighboring countries to occupy them, either not swallowing them or eating the entire nation in one bite. The British demarcation method was completely shocking. It is hard to believe that when demarcating the border, it dared to hurt the main nation of a country. Divide the area where the main nation of a sovereign state survives in half. There may be countries with colonial policies that can do this. The British mainland is an island and are not afraid of backlash. All the problems left are borne by Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Amin, who has become the second-ranked figure in Afghanistan, usually doesn't want this problem because he has a lot to solve, but now Selov's statement that directly exposed the scars made Amin silent for a moment. That heart-wrenching feeling swallowed his entire body.

"It seems that you have not forgotten the existence of the Duran Line. Even Dawude dares not be weak on this issue. If you do not solve the Duran Line problem, Afghanistan will always be in a state of division. You must know that the population of the main ethnic groups in Afghanistan is less than half. In this case, the total population ratio wants to implement large nationalism. If you want to give benefits to ethnic minorities, you will not be able to bear it. This is a knot that cannot be solved." Selov walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "A capable leader, if he encounters such a mess, he doesn't know how to start for a while, right?"

Amin is not a weak-willed person, absolutely not. But the problem of the Duran Line is like a curse, circling every Afghan leader. Shelov certainly knows this. Later generations of close bases to Pakistan rule Afghanistan, and they dare not declare to give up the Duran Line on this issue, no matter how Pakistan threatens and tempts it. What's more, Afghanistan and Pakistan are now pro-Soviet and the other pro-US.

"Afghanistan is not a rival to Pakistan, which will pull our country into the abyss." It took a long time before Amin got rid of the heart-wrenching feeling and said in a heavy and painful tone, "We can't beat them, their military strength is stronger than us."

"Military power? The entire Warsaw Pact tanks are 95,000 and 45,000 armored vehicles. Our five major tank bases do not need to be fully started. One China can be armed every year. You tell me that the military power is insufficient. If you open the world map, will any pro-Soviet country say that it is insufficient? Egypt, Iraq, Syria, more than 8,000 tanks, and a million troops in the Middle East. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Indonesia in Southeast Asia, a total of two million troops. Today you tell me that Afghanistan's military power is insufficient? Yes, among the friendly countries of the Soviet Union, the army of Afghanistan with a little over 100,000 is indeed relatively weak, as if it is stronger than Angola and South Yemen, and similar to Sudan and Ethiopia." Selov's tone was not arrogant, but the content in his mouth was indeed arrogant enough.

The Soviet military academies were filled with military cadets of all colors and civilizations, and guerrillas from dozens of countries and hundreds of regions. The Soviet military-industrial enterprises supported the combat effectiveness of dozens of countries, covering areas including the army, navy and air force, from tanks to warships to fighter jets, ground and air, and ballistics.

In all hot spots, there are armed forces supported by the Soviet Union. Some of these armed forces have successfully seized power, while others are still fighting. Today, the Soviet Union has almost no light industry at all. All have been transferred to Eastern Europe and other allies to concentrate on developing heavy industry and agriculture.

As of this year, the Soviet Union's comparison with the United States on nuclear warheads was 30,000 to 23,000, and it has established a relative advantage over the United States in terms of the number of nuclear weapons. For two years, the Soviet Union has been consolidating the area that has been digested. Every year, the KGB has sent tens of thousands of cadres abroad to guide the removal of the *** experience and drove away the local anti-Soviet forces.

Amin also knew that the intelligence department in Afghanistan was taught by the Soviet KGB and played a huge role in clearing the resistance from all over the country. However, he was still unsure of the situation in facing Pakistan and asked tentatively, "How many weapons can the Soviet Union serve as support to Afghanistan?"

"After the end of the Turkish War, the Soviet Union had dismissed 150,000 troops, and the remaining equipment was given to the Middle East, but those under seal could still arm 100,000 soldiers. Currently, about 140,000 Afghan soldiers, plus the weapons I give you are 240,000. I can help you expand your army to 300,000." Selov said calmly, "This does not require the Soviet Union to increase its production capacity."

"But Pakistan has 600,000 troops, and 300,000 troops are only half of Pakistan." Amin shook his head, "We still can't win if Afghanistan and Pakistan go to war. Even if there is an Afghan uprising to help us attack, there is no chance of winning."

"If you expand your army to 500,000, everyone knows that you are going to attack Pakistan. Double the army in the name of domestic rebellion is the biggest limit." Selov denied Amin's request, "And I am not ready to let Afghanistan fight alone."

"Can the Soviet Union form a coalition with Afghanistan?" Ah Ming asked in disbelief. Is this idea too internationalist, which made him feel a little unbelievable.

"Don't get me wrong. We can send a large-scale military advisory group to help Afghanistan stabilize the country, but we cannot take action personally, otherwise the Americans' war will definitely become long-term. The relationship between the Soviet Union and the Americans is mutually monitored, and the decisive force is your Afghan friends and Indians." Selov denied the possibility of sending troops directly.

Relations between Afghanistan and India have always been very good because there are territorial disputes between the two countries and Pakistan.

"We are the first to start India's war from the southern front to support us? Amin touched his chin and began to deduce how much success rate it will be and how much losses it will be if the war begins. The A-Indian alliance sounds good. (To be continued.)
