USSR 1991

He put all unrealistic thoughts behind him, stepped forward and shook hands with Yanayev to say hello, "Welcome to Berlin, General Secretary Yanayev, we sincerely hope that the friendship between Germany and the Soviet Union will last forever Keep."

"Of course, this is also the wish of Moscow's top management. I hope that the boat of friendship between us will not be like it was during World War II." Yanayev replied with a smile on his mouth, but the content was slightly mocking.

Herzog’s reception is not the most important thing. Yanayev’s battlefield is in the negotiation with Kerr. Obviously, he also said that the Soviet Union is coming to Poland. Since everyone has a common goal, then Only to discuss how to do it.

In the conference room where the German Chancellor received foreign guests, Kohl had been waiting for Yanayev for a long time.After the other party arrived, he didn't procrastinate, and immediately cut to the point.

"As for the Polish issue, I think General Secretary Yanayev and I have already made a general judgment." Cole said without any concealment, "Germany has been refusing to cooperate with Poland on the refugee issue recently. , Not only that, Kwasniewski even encouraged other Central and Eastern European countries to boycott Germany’s policies, and Berlin felt very passive about this.”

Yanayev did not speak, he waited for Cole to continue, "As for the Soviet Union, everyone knows that Kwasniewski has been negotiating with the United States to deploy an anti-missile system, and once the anti-missile system is established, It must have greatly threatened the strategic space of the Soviet Union, am I right?"

Yanayev crossed his arms, trying to see what Cole was going to say next.He had generally heard from the beginning that Cole had no desire to cooperate.He just wanted to use the Soviet Union to put pressure on Kwasniewski on the refugee issue.

Yanayev's guess is very accurate. Cole really has no willingness to cooperate. For him, how could he give up the deployment of the anti-missile system in Poland.This is the lifeblood of Western Europe's political security.Germany is not stupid enough to replace the refugee problem with a barrier of existence.

This was just a negotiation where both sides were wasting time. Cole thought he was calculating Yanayev, but in fact Yanayev was also calculating Cole.

"Of course, this is also the reason why I visited Berlin. I hope that on this issue, the two sides can move at the same pace and force Poland to abandon its own policy. This is also to safeguard our interests, Chancellor Kohl."

Yanayev spread his palms, and Vladimir handed over a document to him very appropriately.Yanayev put the document on the table and said word by word, "This is our cooperative attitude, is it sincere enough? The symbolic donation of US$500 million from the Soviet Union, we hope to help the people of the former East Germany to improve themselves living environment."

"Thank you General Secretary Yanayev for your kindness, but these millions of dollars are just a drop in the bucket. The East German people need far more funds than what you have provided."

Cole reminded Yanayev, "Also, I want to know when the Soviet army can withdraw from German territory. From 1989 to now, we have been waiting for almost six years!"

"Since Germany has been waiting for six years, they don't care about waiting until this year is over, right? The dismantling operation is almost complete. It is guaranteed that after next year, there will be no Soviet soldiers on German soil again."

Yanayev was polite on his lips, but he was sneering and mocking Cole in his heart. Since he wanted to see no Soviet soldiers on German soil, it would be fine if East Germany and West Germany split again. You are equal to one. out of sight.

"Of course I don't care." Cole was a little overjoyed. He had even prepared negotiations for a protracted war with Yanayev.

Just as Cole opened his mouth to continue, the Prime Minister’s assistant rushed into the conference room, ignoring the obstruction of the security personnel on both sides, and shouted at Cole, “It’s not good, Chancellor Cole, East Germany, East Germany broke out There was a massive demonstration!"

"what?"

Hearing the news, Cole quickly stood up from his seat. Of course, dealing with emergencies is more important than this negotiation at this time, so he said to Yanayev, "Sorry, General Secretary Yanayev, I think Negotiations between us will have to wait until the next time."

Chapter 683 All for Germany

Such a demonstration broke out during General Secretary Yanayev's visit to Germany, which was really beyond Kohl's expectations.This is a comprehensive demonstration in East Berlin. They stand on the site where the Berlin Wall was built in the past and put up banners to protest the policies of the Federal Government of Germany.It seems that these demonstrators specially selected Yanayev to demonstrate when he visited Berlin, which made Kerr a little embarrassed to step down.

"Let the refugees get out of Germany." "The people of East Germany do not welcome them." "The German chancellor is a traitor to Germany." A series of complicated slogans were listed, but without exception, they were aimed at a series of policies of Kohl. .To be precise, it is targeting Merkel's refugee policy.

However, Yanayev showed a calm expression, and indifferently looked at everything that happened in Berlin with the mood of watching a theater. Anyway, the other party was not coming for him, and what happened in Germany now had nothing to do with him.Even sat in the restaurant very leisurely, sipping coffee, and then paid attention to the development of the situation in Germany.

"Comrade Vladimir, I need you to do something, but according to your ingenuity, you must have already established a bridge with that person." Yanayev pointed out that Vladimir was behind the scenes. He didn't even suspect that the top executives of the remaining Western Army Group were already Vladimir's people.According to his resolute means, how could he miss the opportunity to counterattack.

Vladimir took Yanayev's words, and he said without hesitation, "Yes, Admiral Matvey Prokopyevich Brakov is still waiting for us on this land. "

"Yes, although I'm not interested in how you know Admiral Brakov." Yanayev put down his coffee and said to the "future general secretary" sitting opposite, "It's just that my identity is not appropriate now. I have a private meeting with Admiral Brakov, so I need you to do it for me. Tell Admiral Brakov."

Yanayev's eyes met Vladimir's.However, what he said made Vladimir's heart skip a beat.

"Tell him to be patient and keep waiting because great changes are coming."

Cole was in a state of desperation, and his thoughts on negotiating with the Soviet Union were disturbed. He ordered the Berlin Police Department to immediately mobilize all staff to suppress this people's riot.The police chief said helplessly, "But so far these East Germans have not done anything excessive. The Constitution grants them the right to march and demonstrate."

Distraught, Cole stood up and pointed to the chief of police's chest after hearing this, and said word by word, "The Constitution also gives us the power to suppress riots. If you don't do it, let me get out of this position." Fuck off, I think there are a lot of people who want to be in this position who are willing to do these things. Do you understand what I say?"

"I'm sorry, Chancellor Kohl, I know what to do." The Berlin police chief quickly apologized to Kohl.

"Listen, if it weren't for the fact that the General Secretary of the Soviet Union was visiting Berlin, I really didn't want to take care of this shit. At that time, the whole of Berlin, oh no, the whole of Germany, and especially East Germany had to keep me safe. If it happened Any accident, I think a lot of people will have to get out of their seats."

After Kerr's order was conveyed, the police in Berlin acted quickly and dispatched police forces to suppress the intensified demonstrations. According to Kerr's wishes, these people will be sent to the police station and locked up until Yanayev's death. The visit ends.

The streets are full of former East German residents holding slogans, some of them are retired veterans of the East German People’s Army. When they learned that the People’s Army was disbanded in 1989, these soldiers were dismissed after receiving a meager salary. Veterans who can only do some simple labor because of discrimination, now have to face the impact of unemployment and refugees. Unbearable, they put on their previous military uniforms and take to the streets to ask the government for an explanation.

In the parade in East Berlin, you can see such a group of downcast but still rigorous soldiers. Although their blue-gray military coats are a bit worn out, they still walk firmly on the street. The banners they pull up are also Be unique.The slogan of the parade is written stroke by stroke in rigorous German.

No one can take away our dignity.

The East German People's Army has become a thing of the past, they can no longer defend their homeland.

But loyalty is glory.

However, at the end of the street, the police force is ready to arrest all the people who are making trouble on the street. They don't want any accidents during Yanayev's visit to Berlin.After confirming the orders from their superiors, the policemen with riot shields began to march towards the crowd, forming the first defensive phalanx, followed by policemen with batons and riot guns, ready to attack those rioters who dared to attack.

When they saw the troops waiting in full battle, the speed of the parade slowed down. Obviously, none of them expected this scene.The other party also used a loudspeaker to persuade all East German residents who were demonstrating to go home, otherwise they will be severely punished.

Just when everyone was hesitating, a gray figure stood out from the crowd, and then the second, third, and fourth, all of them were wearing the uniforms of the former East German People's Army. Holding hands, they formed a human wall and stopped in front of the federal police.These people used to be the executioners who were hated by the East German residents, but now they have become the steel shields protecting the East German people.

The People's Armed Forces of East Germany, which once made West Germany tremble, can only use this situation to protect their homeland.But no one took a step back. "Everything is for the safety of the workers' and peasants' regime" has become a thing of the past. Now they are no longer military personnel, and they stand up just to protect their relatives and homes from being trampled on.

"We are loyal to our motherland, even if we die with honor!"

The first person spoke, and the voice continued to spread in the quiet street, which was more sonorous and powerful than the tweeter on the opposite side.

"Will you choose to be a group of slaves submitting to tyranny, or a group of heroic East German citizens!"

The second person spoke, and there was an unbearable commotion in the crowd.

"The German people will never submit!"

As soon as the words fell, people kept passing by them, and the instigated demonstration crowd rushed towards the police.

"Fight for Germany!"

Chapter 684 Angry People, Cold Weapons

Vladimir secretly went to the headquarters of the Western Army Group stationed in Zuo Sen behind Yanayev's back. There were some things he needed to tell General Brakov personally.Because he is the key to the success or failure of the entire German plan.

When Vladimir's car stopped at the entrance of the command headquarters, he couldn't believe his eyes until he confirmed from the few Russian letters that this was the headquarters of the group army.

A somewhat dilapidated building lay in front of him, and the hammer and sickle logo had long been corroded by the wind and sun. If it weren't for the soldiers standing guard at the door still wearing Soviet uniforms, Vladimir would almost have thought it was a An abandoned building.

Vladimir showed his credentials to the soldiers, who saluted him and let him into the headquarters.

Walking into the interior of the headquarters, Vladimir felt what it means to be dilapidated. No one would believe that such a place was the office building of a certain Soviet general.

Empty corridors, blocked offices, and a weird musty smell in the air.Guided by the reception staff, Vladimir came to General Brakov's office.

"Minister Vladimir, please sit down." Brakov warmly invited him to sit down.Vladimir looked around this office, and it was the only one that was clean and tidy.

"This is not at all like the office of a Soviet general." Vladimir said jokingly, "In my impression, they all live in a magnificent villa, not a place full of spider webs."

Brakov smiled wryly and shook his head, "Comrade Vladimir, you don't know the current situation of the troops stationed in Germany. Apart from maintaining basic expenses, the soldiers have no chance to change facilities. According to What the DoD folks are saying, we're all going to be evacuated from the land anyway, do we need to add something new? The whole building is out of clerical staff, we really don't have anyone here except for a few essential ones gone."

"Thank you, General Brakov." Vladimir said with a slightly apologetic tone, "Thank you for persisting for so long in such an environment."
