Chapter 55: The Holy War to the End???? Afghanistan is a landlocked country located in Southwestern Asia, situated at the heart of the Asian continent. Its location has different definitions, sometimes it is considered part of Central Asia or South Asia, and even classified as part of the Middle East (Western Asia). It shares significant religious, linguistic, and geographical ties with most of its neighboring countries.

  Two-thirds of Afghanistan's territory is mountainous and traffic is inconvenient. Agriculture is the main economic pillar, but arable land accounts for less than two-thirds of cultivated land. The population is 29 million, making it one of the poorest countries in the world.

  At the same time, Afghanistan is a country with diverse cultures. Due to its geographical location at the intersection of East and West, it has an important geostrategic position, connecting South Asia, Central Asia and West Asia.

  In 1979, the Soviet Union launched a war aimed at establishing a pro-Soviet government in Afghanistan.

  Born into a wealthy family, the young Muslim idealist Ben Laden joined thousands of Arab youths in the early 80s to go to Afghanistan and fight against the Soviet troops that had occupied Afghanistan since 1979.

  At that time, he secretly received support from the United States and captured the later famous AKS-74U on the battlefield.

  There Ben Ladan saw the suffering of local people and understood that the essence of this Afghan war was a product of contention between two superpowers.

  So, there, Ben Laden had an irreconcilable conflict with the United States, and yesterday's intimate allies became enemies. Terrorist attacks against the United States were also staged continuously around the world.

  On September 11, 2001, the myth of American security was shattered. On October 7, 2001, a US-led coalition launched a war aimed at removing the Taliban regime that harbored al-Qaeda.

  From October 7 to December 24, 2001, the United States and its allies deployed nearly 80,000 troops on the periphery of Afghanistan, with about 50,000 US military personnel, five aircraft carrier battle groups, four amphibious ready groups, and more than 500 combat aircraft.

  In the meantime, special forces were also dispatched.

  Through military action, the United States overthrew the Taliban regime and basically destroyed al-Qaeda's network in Afghanistan.

  But Laden, through the military means he learned from America, using the advanced weapons previously obtained from America, united all forces that could be united and launched a holy war against America, causing heavy casualties among American soldiers and putting great pressure on the US authorities.

  The US put Bin Laden on its most wanted list with a $5 million bounty on his head, launching a global manhunt for him.

  While Zhang Hang and his men were trying every means to extract some useful information from Zhao Zilong's mouth, in a building under the desert floor of Afghanistan, the holy warriors were sitting there leisurely confronting their enemies, plotting one conspiracy after another.

  "Report to General Abruscia, our informant has just obtained important information that the Hunter School's special training on the Amazon River has been brought forward. Almost all developed and developing countries around the world have signed up, and this time, many Asian countries with relatively weak forces have also registered for the special training." An Arab man reported to his superior.

  This man, known as the Abruzzo General, was an elderly Arab with thick eyebrows and a long beard, sunken eyes, and a tall and thin build. With his stiff facial expression, if not for the occasional flash of white light in his beady eyes, one would have thought they had encountered a real-life modern-day zombie.

  Abruzzi may not have a lot of cases with the CIA, but you absolutely shouldn't look down on him because of that. Otherwise, by the time you're dead, you won't even know what happened. According to intelligence, he was also involved in planning 9/11 and made many constructive suggestions, deeply respected by their highest leader Ben Laden.

  Moreover, due to his generosity and kindness, he has a very high reputation among the Arab people. The US authorities have sent special forces to capture him many times, but he always managed to escape one step ahead.

  There are six reliable assistants around him. Every time Abruscia plans a plan, he will hand it over to these six people for implementation.

  The two main assistants standing beside him are MaiMaiTi and Azaqi. MaiMaiTi is fluent in English, French and German, while Azaqi is fluent in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and has a quick mind.

  "Firstly, I must correct one of your mistakes. Our influence in Asia is not weak, the rabbit does not eat the grass at its burrow's edge, this is a truth. In this land of Asia, it would be extremely unwise to show off our strength too much and stir up large-scale conflicts. Our attacks aim to destroy America and Israel, we do not want to provoke other troubles. Our great leader has loyal followers in Egypt, Lebanon, Pakistan, and Kashmir among others. His "Islamic Holy War Organization" fighters, apart from launching attacks around the world, are also secretly dispatched to North Africa, Chechnya, Tajikistan, and even Bosnia and Herzegovina to "fight"."

  After correcting the misunderstanding of his subordinates, General Abruzzi's low and hoarse but majestic voice sounded again: "Maimaiti, is the information accurate?"

  "Extremely reliable! The Hunter School issued an international notice, citing the frequent occurrence of international terrorist attacks, and brought forward the special training time by three months."

  Buybuyti replied.

  "What terrorism attack, this is a holy war! This is the holy war launched by our great leader Laden! And it's just giving America a little lesson, don't be so arrogant, showing off its military power everywhere in the world. Moreover, this is not the end, the fight will continue until they are completely eliminated!"

  Abruzzi's low voice suddenly became somewhat sharp: "And this damn Hunter School, under the banner of anti-terrorism, brings together special forces from all over the world for special training. It's really eating too much and finding nothing to do. Alas! Our warriors who die in their hands every year are not two hundred but one hundred and fifty. If we let it go on like this, our warriors scattered all over the world will eventually be exhausted. No, we must think of a way to destroy this damn Hunter School!"

  Abruzzi is right, although they have the support of a large number of Muslim civilians, but those who can be called warriors and have combat effectiveness are really rare, and even fewer are warriors who can be trusted to carry out important tasks!

  Although the great leader had already noticed this problem with his extraordinary vision and established a training camp in a desert within Afghanistan to train qualified warriors for jihad, if the number of qualified warriors trained by the training camp could not keep up with the consumption, it would be an absolute nightmare for them!

  "General, it's not easy to take down the Hunter School. You might have overlooked a crucial issue - they are all well-trained, well-equipped and extremely powerful special forces. Our soldiers will be taken out before they even get close to them. Fighting them would be suicidal!

  Mu Mu Ti looked up with wide eyes, shrugged his shoulders and spoke his true thoughts: "Besides, I recall you just mentioned not wanting to provoke a large-scale conflict. Attacking the Hunter School is no different from declaring war on the world!"

  "What you said is not wrong. However, sometimes intellectual superiority can make up for the gap in strength. Our warriors are all elite fighters who are extremely loyal to us, and each one of them is precious, how could I risk their lives! Moreover, Hunter School is located in South America, not within Asia's territory, so we can go all out."

  Abruzzi paused, looked at MaiMai and continued: "In this world, although money is not omnipotent, there are very few things that cannot be done with money. Money can make ghosts grind mills, which is also a truth! There's no need for us to take action ourselves, we can ask those who want money but don't care about their lives, the desperate fugitives, to launch a moth-to-flame attack on the Hunter School. Wouldn't that be perfect?! I believe if we add some of what they call 'mercenaries' in between, it would be even better! Haha."

  "But, General, those mercenaries consider themselves to be noble, and in their eyes we are terrorists. I'm afraid they won't accept our money." After hearing General Abruzzia's words, Mai Mai nodded first, but still raised the only doubt in his heart.

  "What a self-proclaimed noble guy! I spit on that! They are just a group of people who have lost their military dignity and honor, do not owe allegiance to any country or individual, only care about money in their eyes, use their military skills to complete tasks without scruples. For them, whoever pays is their mother, as long as they get enough money to satisfy them, they will be more obedient than your own dog, and die for you in battle.

  At the same time, in order to make these people survive better and solve the troubles of employers, there are specialized institutions in the world that provide communication services for both parties. They use local connections to give these institutions a name, and then become a legitimate company. If you go to such a company, I think the final result will not disappoint everyone. Because they only take money to do things, as for your background, they are too lazy to care."

  "General is wise!" Maite's eyes lit up.

  "Buyantai, you go to Europe and the Americas, don't be afraid to spend money, get things done well, let the mercenaries use their skills to the fullest. Also, recruit some willing martyrs for the holy war, make them human bombs, and when the time comes, have them mix in with the troops, and let those self-proclaimed elite special forces meet their end together." Abu Rusi's eyes were cold and detached, a hint of a smile playing on his lips: "To use the Americans' own words, this is what they call 'total war'!"

  Looking at Bai's eyes, which were filled with doubt once again, Abusiya patted his shoulder and said calmly: "Trouble yourself to use that clever brain of yours to think in reverse. Our goal this time is the Hunter School and dealing with the Americans, but I think the special forces there will definitely not stand by idly. So, in fact, the special forces from all over the world are our enemies. Think about it, if we were to turn back time by ten years, wouldn't these mercenaries have been just like them? We've already let them live for ten more years and given them a large sum of money, they're not at a loss!"

  "Yes, General!" Upon hearing Abrosia's words, Mai Maiti suddenly became full of energy.

  Birds of a feather flock together!

  "Ah, Azizi, contact those professional mercenary groups in Asia. Don't be afraid to spend money, just find people who have been soldiers, fired guns and been on the battlefield. Also, be extra careful with your movements, don't let the National Security Agency or Intelligence Bureau catch wind of you. After 9/11, the big shots are catching our people all over the world, don't get caught in their crossfire, there's still much to be done! " Aburushia turned to another Arab man beside him and said.

  "Yes, General!" Azha nodded in response.

  "General, rest assured! They want to catch us, but they're far from it. This year, we may not dare say anything else, but our skills in disguise and hiding have been practiced to perfection.

  Buybuyti smiled and said: "Tomorrow we'll set off, General, just wait for our good news!"

  "Great! If you complete the task this time and come back, I will definitely ask our great leader to grant you the honor of taking a photo with AKS74U."

  The AKS-74U is their leader Osama bin Laden's trophy, captured during the Afghan war, and it comes from a superpower, so it has a symbolic significance of victory. The ultra-large magazine with 45 rounds also implies determination to fight to the end and kill more infidels. This AKS-74U and its 45-round ultra-large magazine spread all over the world along with Osama bin Laden's carefully made video tapes, greatly stirring up the emotions of terrorist elements.

  Whether it is said to be a symbol of victory or a determination to fight to the end, in short, when it appears on the screen with Ben Laden's provocative language, no one can deny that the emotions of the entire Muslim people are instantly ignited and become unprecedentedly high!

  Taking a photo with him is not only an honor and encouragement, but also a symbol of being recognized by the great leader. Being recognized by the leader means being recognized by the entire Muslim community. For them, its significance and motivation are undoubtedly unprecedented!

  So Buyukti and Azhaqi, upon hearing this, were as if injected with a stimulant, their eyes shining brightly: "We vow to follow the leader to death, and carry out the holy war to the end!"

  "May God bless you! Get ready to go!"
