USSR 1991

The East German airport ushered in the busiest moment, and the People's Republic Army occupied the airport.They deployed a large number of anti-aircraft weapons here to protect the Il-76 transport planes that landed in a continuous stream. After the rear door was opened, the tanks that drove out from the belly were all T72 or T80 tanks without exception.The USSR almost recreated two new armored regiments for them.

The generosity of the Soviet Union was purposeful. They entered East Germany under the pretext of maintaining peace and stability, but in fact they were only preparing for the attack on Berlin.However, the Soviet Union did not choose to deploy directly around Berlin, just to create an illusion for the United States to prevent the other side from encroaching on East Germany.Both the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States now believe that the Soviet Union is only protecting the German Democratic Republic Army, which has declined to the point where it cannot attack, but they do not think that this is to accumulate strength for Berlin's counterattack.

The small actions of the Soviet Union could not escape the eyes of the United States. President Mario felt that the conditions were ripe now, so he called Yanayev himself, and he wanted to find out what the other party's intentions were.

"The Soviet Union has deployed a large number of fighter jets and mechanized troops in East Germany. Can you tell me that this is to create a situation that splits Germany?" President Mario unceremoniously accused Yanayev, "You are an aboveboard interference. The internal affairs of a country, General Secretary Yanayev. This is a blatant violation of German sovereignty."

Yanayev never cared about Mario's innocuous accusations. He retorted, "Compared to the Soviet invasion, the United States' ambitions are even greater. Stationing in Berlin is not only famous, but also uses newspapers. Slamming us as a red threat to the peace of Europe. But in fact you have always wanted to keep Germany in the hands of the Americans."

Over the past few days, European reports have been overwhelmingly describing the United States as the savior of Germany, while describing the Soviet East German peacekeeping force as an invading evil army.Yanayev doesn't care about this. After all, it is not a day or two to be scolded as an evil regime.

"And we have always disliked talking around the bush, President Mario. We both know what the other wants, and it would be simpler and clearer to say it directly."

Yanayev said coldly, "Don't you mean, how do we carve up this EU giant? If the German economy itself is hit hard, then Europe's good days will come to an end. You and I both hope that the EU can In decline, at least the common interests are the same.” What Yanayev didn’t say was that the only point of difference was that the United States hoped that Western Europe would die together with the Soviet Union.

"In that case, then at the negotiating table the day after tomorrow, shouldn't we discuss how to divide up the German cake?" President Mario said blatantly, "In fact, this time is very different from the Potsdam Proclamation in history, but we have This part of Berlin."

"The Soviet Union only stationed a part of its armored forces in Berlin, and did not intend to interfere in Germany's internal affairs. The rest was left to the German Democratic Baath Party and the Federal Government of Germany to negotiate and resolve on their own. The Soviet Union has no time to interfere in Germany's internal issues. This is my concession, the White House Are you satisfied?"

"This... this is the request of the Soviet Union."

Yanayev's generosity was obviously beyond Mario's expectations, or he originally thought that Berlin would become a state of splitting the two Germanys, but now it seems that the situation seems to favor the Federal Republic of Germany.

Yanayev originally did not intend to restore the state of division, or the East German issue is just an imprint of the Ukrainian model.The German people are tired of being divided, so of course he cannot carve up and control Germany with the United States.What's more, the Soviet Union no longer regarded East Germany as the first line of defense for attacking Europe.

"Yes, that's what the Soviet Union requested. A peacekeeping force is stationed in eastern Germany. They don't interfere with the economy, their internal affairs, or other issues. Everything is left to Germany to decide on its own."

The generosity of the Soviet Union was beyond the expectations of the Americans, and they didn't know how to continue the speech they had prepared.This is equivalent to ceding a lot of initiative to the Federal Republic of Germany.

President Mario knew that he didn't need to continue talking. He had almost gained all the benefits in this war, so he hung up the phone after talking casually.

After hanging up the phone, Yanayev also breathed a sigh of relief, and his goal was achieved.The power to decide the cake of the Federal Republic of Germany is not in the hands of Yanayev, but in the hands of the German Democratic Baath Party.The role played by the Soviet Union was only the umbrella of East Germany, and the instigator who hid behind the scenes and manipulated everything.

Germany has entered the era of proxy conflicts. Yanayev has long ignored the ideological conflicts during the Cold War. What he has to do is to give He started a backyard fire.Pro-Soviet forces have been cultivated everywhere.

This time it was only an East German problem.

Next time there will be Scotland, which is arguing about separation, and all separatist forces will be the targets of the Soviet Union.

Yanayev narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Xiou, it's time for you to be overwhelmed."

7Chapter 16 No Prussia After East Germany

For the next negotiations in Berlin, the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Government of Germany announced a 72-hour ceasefire in preparation for the next peace talks.The venue for the peace talks is the Reichstag in Berlin. The war in the past few days has not yet spread to this area, and the Reichstag has remained relatively intact.

The representatives sent by the Quartet this time are German Chancellor Kohl, German Democratic Baath Party leader Jonishkis, US National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, and Soviet foreign relations advisor Primakov. to a key figure in this German crisis.And this time the talks will largely affect the course of German history.

This is also the first time Primakov has set foot on the land of Berlin. The distance from Berlin International Airport to the Reichstag is full of armored vehicles and soldiers patrolling back and forth. Primakov even saw a few M1A1 tanks Deployed at the crossroads, sitting on it are American soldiers talking and laughing.

Although the war ended briefly, the martial law in Berlin still did not end.This negotiation is related to the peace process in Germany, and no one dares to neglect it.Before arriving in Berlin, Primakov had already had a secret conversation with Colonel Jonishkis about the peace talks.

"The Soviet Union has already made a series of measures, including preparations for war, so this peace talk is just a formality. There will be a real war going on next. This time, we must take Berlin." Phone Riprimakov's voice was a little flat, but what he said made Jonishkis excited.

"The time of the attack will be set on the night after the end of the first negotiation. The formation of Su-34 bombers will cover the attack of the German Democratic Republic. Air defenses on the Berlin side. Then it's handed over to your ground armor, Colonel Jonishkiss. This is a Soviet black ops, and we won't recognize what we did in Berlin if you don't take Berlin the next day , we will never send a peacekeeping force to rush in, so your chance is only a day or two."

Jonishkis replied firmly, "Everything is going according to plan, Comrade Primakov. Berlin will be in our pocket. The capture of Berlin will not end the war."

"Yes, take Berlin and complete the final step in the liberation of East Germany."

When the car stopped at the entrance of the Capitol, Primakov recovered from his contemplation.At this time, the car door was opened, and he walked out, just in time to see the magnificent building in front of him that was heavily wrapped by tanks and armored vehicles, and suddenly seemed to have returned to the defense of the Empire State Building.

Primakov shook his head, dismissing such unrealistic thoughts, and walked towards the gates of the Reichstag.

The leaders of the other three parties have all arrived at the Congress Hall and are about to hold a grand meeting.After the war broke out, the Capitol had ceased operations, and it happened to be used as the venue for the four-party talks.

Madeleine, the US Secretary of State, behaved unusually plainly. During the private discussions between President Mario and the Soviet Union, the other party did not show the idea of ​​resuming splitting Germany, which made Madeleine breathe a sigh of relief.

If the Soviet Union only wanted to station troops in Germany to protect the newly born pro-Soviet regime, then they would be able to take the initiative in the next negotiations.After all, the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany are on the negotiating table to put pressure on the German Democratic Baath Party. With the Soviet Union standing by, the United States can completely dominate the situation.

After entering the four-party negotiation, Madeleine gestured to Cole with her eyes, telling the other party that pre-emptive negotiations can be carried out.Cole coughed lightly, and put forward the conditions of the Federal Republic of Germany for restoring order.

He stood up, holding the manuscript and speaking seriously.

"Regarding the recent situation in East Germany, the German Federal Government has passed a unanimous resolution. We are willing to put forward the following conditions for reaching an agreement. First, all former East German soldiers who participated in the German Democratic Republic will let go of the past, and at the same time restore your pensions to be equal to those of the Bundeswehr. Recognize all the honors of the retired soldiers and officers of the East German Democratic Army. At the same time, improve the welfare benefits in East Germany, and promise not to weaken any welfare expenditures."

In Primakov's view, these are small profits.The German Democratic Baath Party does not see this interest.They have already occupied half of the country, and their appetite has naturally increased.

However, after Cole put forward these conditions, he quickly transferred to their requirements.

"Our demand is that the German Democratic Republic be disbanded immediately. We will not allow a remaining armed force to appear on German soil in addition to the Bundeswehr."

Colonel Jonishkis listened to Cole's speech with a blank expression. To him, this was like a joke. Let the German Democratic Republic disband?The reason why Jonishkis can sit here to negotiate is largely due to the army behind him, which is the real capital for negotiations between East Germany and the federal government.To agree to the impertinent request of the federal government now is simply a dream.

"All the Western Army Groups of the Soviet Union that have not been evacuated will be withdrawn from German soil immediately. The time limit given to you is one month. We don't want to see a German civil strife with the Soviet Union behind it. If the Soviet Union If you think one month is too short, then we will let the Bundeswehr force you to evacuate."

When it came to this, even Madeleine raised her head slightly. It was not a wise choice for Cole to make this request at the negotiating table.

On the issue of his request for the withdrawal of the Soviet Union, Cole also gave Primakov a special look, with mixed emotions of resentment in his eyes, as if he was reprimanding the other party for turning Germany into what it is now.However, he didn't have any extra emotions towards Cole's accusation, and he still held a cold-eyed attitude. Anyway, the protagonist of this talk is not the Soviet Union, and no matter how many Cole's demands are, he has nothing to do with him.

"Third, you don't have any decision-making power on refugee issues and religious issues. This is an internal issue of the Federal Republic of Germany, not East Germany. All you need to do is to accept them, not exclude them. Ban East Germany Carry out any anti-religious campaigns, and any act of organizing people to attack refugee camps is strictly prohibited."

For the sake of his own reputation, Cole didn't care about the feelings of the East German people at all, so much so that he himself forgot that the conditions and demands were not directly proportional.

Jonishkis still endured, patiently listening to Cole's long speech and those excessive demands.Although he couldn't resist the urge to shoot him in the head.

"The Federal Government of Germany has absolute dominion over eastern Germany. The people of East Germany are not allowed to carry out any assembly demonstrations to protest against German policies, let alone expel refugees in private or destroy mosques. Violators will be sent to prison for promoting fascism .Of course, let alone the so-called German and Prussian spirits, understand what I mean?"

Primakov had turned his head away to look elsewhere, he couldn't listen anymore.This is not a peace negotiation, it is completely making demands on the loser as a victor, and I don't know where Cole's self-confidence comes from.What's more, East Germany has not yet completely failed.The German Democratic Republic still maintains considerable combat effectiveness.

When it came to this, Colonel Jonishkis couldn't bear it anymore.The Prussian spirit is the spiritual pillar of the German Democratic Baath Party and even the entire East Germany. Now the emphasis on abandoning the Prussian spirit is simply a betrayal of East Germany.

Colonel Jonny Kiss stood up, and all eyes were on him.

He didn't care about other people's eyes at all, but pointed directly at Cole, and said to him unceremoniously, "Do you know the biggest difference between the East German government and the Federal German government?"

"You have inherited nothing more than a veneer of the Iron Cross, but you are actually an incompetent, spiritually castrated army."

"Although the East German People's Army did not inherit the Iron Cross, it has inherited all the pride and glory of the Prussian spirit! When the Federal Republic of Germany emphasizes that it inherits German orthodoxy, please remember this sentence."

"After East Germany, there will be no Prussia!"

7Chapter 17 The German Confederation

Jonishkis glanced at the people around him, and finally focused on Cole. He said unhurriedly, "Do you want to hear the conditions of the German Democratic Baath Party?"

Cole made a gesture of all ears.Primakov could not hide a smile on the corner of his mouth.The counterattack of the German Democratic Baath Party has finally begun.

Madeleine noticed Primakov's expression, she wanted to remind Cole to be careful, but it was too late.Jonishkis counterattacked very quickly.
