Chapter 105

In the news Hall of the Ministry of defense of Afghanistan, the reporters who were called in were crowded with the originally very spacious hall. This is not a regular press conference, but a temporary initiative of the Ministry of defense, saying that there is important news to be announced.

The appetite of the reporters under the stage has been hanging up for a long time, and everyone is talking about what it is. If there were no big news, the Afghan Ministry of defense would not hold a press conference in a big way. The current war is obviously not conducive to the government forces. It's humiliating to hold a press conference at such a time.

The clock on the wall is ten o'clock, and the scheduled time for the press conference is up. The spokesman of Afghanistan's Ministry of defense walked up to the front desk with a smile on his face. He was wearing a gorgeous military uniform and was in no hurry to sort out the manuscripts in his hands. When everything was ready, the spokesman finally announced the start of the press conference.

The spokesman standing on the stage first said two small things, and then got to the point. I saw him take the prepared manuscript and read it word by word“

"It has been confirmed that in a recent armed operation of the Soviet army, the figure of hafizola Qasim Wardak, the No.1 illegal armed man who has been occupying the pagman area, was found. After a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, hafizola Qasim Wardak and his cronies were forced to jump off the cliff and die. Afghan government forces and Soviet forces have begun to salvage bodies in the rivers near the crossfire area

After reading the long speech, the spokesman of Afghanistan's Ministry of defense remembered that many media had raised their hands to ask him questions. Because of the unfavourable situation in the war, the spokesman seldom has such confidence. He glanced at the reporters below. He planned to give the opportunity to ask questions to several usually unfriendly media.

”That lady over there“

He pointed to a well-dressed woman, a reporter from an American media, who was always in trouble at press conferences. The microphone was passed to the female reporter, who stood up with a smile and politely said to the spokesman:

"Hello, spokesman, I'm from the associated press. My question is, are you sure hafizola Qasim Wardak has been killed?"

The spokesman suddenly felt that something was wrong. What's the matter? Is the information wrong. Is it hafizola kassim waldak's double who died? No, absolutely not! The Russians don't have to. Although the spokesman thinks so in his heart, his face remains unchanged. Even if hafizola Qasim Wardak is not dead, he must be regarded as dead. Otherwise, the Afghan government and the Afghan Ministry of defense will lose their face.

"We are sure that he is dead!" The spokesman said firmly.

”Can you explain what happened to this picture“ All of a sudden, the smiling female reporter took out a big picture from the folder and held it in her hand over her head to show it to the reporters around.

The picture was clear and the spokesman saw it at a glance. In the photo, hafizola kassim Wardak is sitting on the ground holding a newspaper of the date of the day to the camera. The position of the date is circled with a red line, clearly marked. The spokesman was already a little at a loss. Reporters around found that the news conference was full of changes, and raised their cameras to record the unexpected situation.

”How do you explain this photo“ When the female reporter saw that the spokesman had not responded for a long time, she repeated the question again.

”I don't know the authenticity of the photo in your hand. I can only say that hafizola kassim waldak has many doubles, and the person in the photo may be a doubles“ The spokesman strongly denied it. In his heart, he had already cursed the Soviet Union.

"If you don't think the photo in my hand can convince you, I have a video of hafizola kassim waldak, in which he personally proves that what you said is a lie“ The female reporter then took out a video tape from the bag and showed it to the reporters present.

For a moment, the reporters sitting at the bottom were in an uproar. It was just a slap in the face. The Afghan government and the Soviet Union had just announced their brilliant achievements. In a flash, they were attacked by the pagman forces on the spot. Is there anything more dramatic than that?

Now the spokesman of the Ministry of defense of Afghanistan has nothing to say. The other side's hands are bursting with evidence continuously. However, he only knows that hafizola Qasim Wardak was buried on the cliff, but he has no evidence at all. He is dead without proof. Looking at the reporters who raised their hands to ask questions excitedly on the stage, the spokesman's heart was already overwhelmed. Without saying a word, he turned and strode out of the press room. The reporters gathered around to prevent the spokesman from leaving. The security personnel on the scene were desperately trying to stop the reporters. The hall was in chaos.

In less than an hour, the farce of the press conference immediately appeared in the news of mainstream media all over the world, and the contents of the video began to be made public. In the video, hafizola confirmed that he was still alive with several newspapers published that day. In the video, he admitted that he was indeed attacked by the Soviet army, but he was not dead, just injured. He also showed the wound. It can be seen that the bullet only hit the leg and did not hurt the bone, so it did not matter. In the video, he called on the people of all ethnic groups in Afghanistan to unite against the Soviet aggressors.

This farce made hafizola kassim Wardak, who was already a little-known, become a red man among the Sheng fighters. In the days after that, more and more small groups of Sheng fighters rushed to the pagman area and asked to join hafizola's team. This was something hafizola had never thought of at that time.

Now the whole world is watching the jokes of the Soviet Union. Even in this case, the Afghan government and the Soviet government are still stiff lipped, refusing to admit the authenticity of the video, and blindly emphasizing that it is only the substitute of hafizola Qasim Wardak. But behind the scenes, the president of Afghanistan, babulak kalmyer, has gone to Brezhnev, general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party.

All of a sudden, the 103 airborne division became the target of public criticism in this incident. The Soviet Ministry of defense and the Afghan Ministry of defense vented all their anger on the commander Xie Miao. If Xie Miao's backstage was not hard enough, the KGB would probably have arrived in Afghanistan by plane, rushed into his office and arrested him back home for investigation.
