USSR 1991

"Our first request is that Germany should be changed from a federation to a confederacy. The presidium of the confederation is composed of two people, each of whom belongs to East and West Germany. The term of office is four years. During the four years, each person takes turns to serve as the chairman of the presidium for six months. The members of the presidium are directly elected by the people, of which the Federal Republic of Germany elects members of West Germany and the German Democratic Republic elects members of East Germany. The Presidium nominates the Chancellor of the Confederation, which is approved by the Parliament. The Chancellor of the Confederation is responsible for appointing the ministers."

The corner of Cole's mouth twitched. This request was more ruthless than what he had made, and it directly changed the political form of Germany completely.This means that Germany will no longer be a complete country, only unified in name only.

However, Jonishkis ignored the other party's reaction and continued to speak on his own.

"Then the constitution is to be amended. The new constitution should stipulate that the German Confederation is composed of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic; there is a two-member presidium, consisting of one representative from East and West Germany, and the members of the presidium are directly elected by the two political bodies. .”

The atmosphere at the scene became very awkward. Madeleine asked Primakov for help, hoping that the other party could stand up and stop Jonishkis, but Primakov did not take any action.He looked at the embarrassment of the other party with the corner of his mouth curled up, as if he wanted to tell them that all of this is your own fault.

"Parliament adopts a bicameral system. It consists of the House of Representatives and the House of Peoples. The House of Representatives has 42 seats elected by East and West Germany. The House of Representatives has a chairman and a vice-chairman, which belong to East and West Germany. The chairmanship is held by East and West Germany. The representatives take turns, and the chairman and vice-chairman rotate every six months. Members of the House of Representatives are elected in half from East and West Germany. The House of Peoples has 1 seats and is composed of 1 representatives from East and West Germany. Members of the House of Peoples are elected by East and West Germany respectively The rotation of the chairman and vice-chairman is the same as that of the House of Representatives. At the same time, East and West Germany do not interfere in each other's internal affairs, and both East and West Germany have the right to conduct their own foreign activities independently and independently as countries, and the Confederation government unconditionally agrees with various independent decisions of East and West Germany."

This is already a confederal country, which means that the German government can only maintain unity in name, but in fact East Germany has gained great autonomy.Cole, whose face was already pale, would absolutely not allow such a situation to happen.

"The last demand is the release of the former East German leader Krenz in a Berlin prison and the recognition of East Germany's rightful place in history."

One of the purposes of releasing Krenz is that the German Democratic Baath Party needs to gather a group of cohesive political figures, whether it is Lafontaine or Krenz, they are all within the scope of the Baath Party.Doing so would be tantamount to touching Prime Minister Kohl's backlash.He especially hated left-wing parties, especially those with communist leanings grouped together under one party.Every demand of Jonishkis, in his view, is a provocation to the German Federal Constitution.

"When you say that, it means that our negotiation has completely broken down, doesn't it?" Cole folded his arms and watched Jonny Kiss' performance. Now the negotiation between the two parties is considered to be in a precarious state.The atmosphere of drawing swords and bows is likely to mess up this hard-won peace conference.

Madeleine stood up and tried to ease the atmosphere, "I think West Germany and East Germany can both make concessions and renegotiate, and there is no need to make things worse. Isn't it? After all, everyone still has room for negotiation."

Only Primakov did not take any action, and East Germany's actions have always been in his expectation.He believed that no matter what Cole did, the end result would be a bad one.What's more, the other party made such an excessive request.

"I have sworn to the people of East Germany that we have the right to decide our own future. A Germany without refugees, mosques, and the oppression of the Federal Government of Germany. The conditions I put forward are the wishes of the people of East Germany. Conditions. The request I made is the request of the East German people. It is not me who is negotiating with you Chancellor Kohl, but the entire East German people, who are representing their own future!"

Jonishkis propped his hands on the table, fixed his eyes on Cole who was sitting opposite, and said through gritted teeth, "We will never hand over our future to someone like you, absolutely not! This is Our demand! Either agree, or let Germany return to the state of division!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone understood that there would be no results in this negotiation.Jonishkis' tough approach has made all the difference.

"I don't think there is any need to continue this negotiation." Cole shook his head and said with a sneer, he would never take a step back.Even further threatened Jonishkis, "When the Bundeswehr liberates East Germany, please remember that it was your own misconduct that destroyed East Germany."

Jonishkis countered, "Then, please remember Prime Minister Kohl's words, we will turn East Germany into your Moscow, your Stalingrad, and your Kursk! Even if there is only the last East Germany left A soldier, we will fight to the end. East Germans, will never take half a step back!"

This time the meeting ended in an unhappy situation. Although Madeleine made a request to temporarily suspend the meeting, everyone knew that the hope of continuing the peace talks was very slim.The only possibility is that the two sides tear their skins apart and start a war again.

Before leaving the Capitol, Madeleine stepped forward two steps faster and caught up with Primakov.She stared at the other party with a complicated look, and said in a deep voice, "Advisor Primakov, you already knew that there would be such an ending, didn't you? Sitting at the negotiating table from the very beginning, the Soviet Union has predicted This negotiation will end without a problem. That's why you will always act as an outsider at the negotiating table."

Primakov did not speak, but smiled as he continued.

"In other words, the German Democratic Renaissance Party didn't take this negotiation seriously. They just wanted to test the attitude of the federal government. In any case, their ultimate goal is to establish a confederal state." Made The more Lin went on, the clearer her thinking became, and the more thorough her understanding of the Soviet Union's conspiracy.

At first, she thought that the German Democratic Baath Party just wanted to represent the three states of East Germany in the political elections of the Federal Republic of Germany. She did not expect that the other party would actually try to amend the constitution and change the entire country's system.If it is said that the actions of the Federal Republic of Germany were not instigated by the Soviet Union, no one would believe it.

"That's why the Soviet Union asked for absolute non-interference in Germany's internal affairs, because you are the planners of this change. Turning the Federal Republic of Germany into the Confederate Germany is a really subtle move."

After listening to Madeleine's chatter, Primakov frowned impatiently, and said softly, "Are you done? I'll leave now, I have other things to do."

Primakov took two steps forward, then he stopped, turned around and said to Madeleine, "One more thing, even if it was planned by the Soviet Union, the series of changes in Germany after that have nothing to do with us. It doesn’t matter. The people of East Germany will eventually liberate Germany. This is an unchangeable fact. No matter how Cole tries to counterattack, he will end up in failure in the end.”

Madeleine looked at Primakov as if she were looking at a mighty red bear.The opponent just squinted his eyes, and he could feel the oppression from the Red Empire, "I'm just looking forward to whether the frustrated Bundeswehr will attack the East German army rashly, or are they trying to shake the Soviet armored force?" strength?"

The sudden wind blew the hem of Primakov's clothes flying. He turned his head sideways and remained motionless, but Madeleine felt a frightening majesty.

Primakov chuckled and said slowly, "At that time, we will let them feel what a real red torrent is."

Chapter 748 Berlin, we are back

"During the talks held in the Reichstag yesterday, neither East Germany nor West Germany could reach an effective agreement, the peace process in Germany will be delayed. According to the US Secretary of State Madeleine who participated in the peace talks, the German Democratic Baath Party There is a big dispute between Germany and the requirements of the German Federal Government. Both parties are trying to include the three northeastern German states into their own territory. The leader of the German Democratic Renaissance Party, Jonish Kiss, emphasized that there is a relatively large gap between the two parties. There are big differences, and no agreement has been reached for the time being.”

This news has cast a haze over everyone's minds. The postponement of peace negotiations means the continuation of the war. It seems that there is still a long way to go before the end of the war.

The breakdown of the peace talks means that the two sides are shrouded in the cloud of war. Even President Mario is always paying attention to the situation in Germany. At this time, East Germany is like a powder keg that may explode at any time, waiting for a certain time to wipe the guns. Fire escape.

Yanayev stood in front of the TV, quietly watching Madeleine's frustrated and annoyed expression at the Berlin meeting.Primakov had already called Yanayev before, and generally reported the situation in Berlin.

"As we expected, the negotiations have failed. Our infantry vehicles and tanks to support East Germany have also arrived, and now we are short of the US defenders stationed in Berlin. As long as we can distract them to the greatest extent, we will It can create an opportunity for East Germany to counterattack Berlin."

Intelligence misleading has always been the German Democratic Republic's forte. They know how to let the United States detect a large amount of wrong intelligence, which will cause certain interference to the opponent's judgment of the war situation.

The Soviet Union also needs to continue to spread false information, such as transferring air forces to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania or entering Saxony, leaving Brandenburg as a weakly defended vacuum.When the net is cast down, the fish will naturally take the bait.

Through observations in the past few days, the U.S. military has received a large amount of reconnaissance intelligence. According to the intelligence, Soviet fighter jets are deployed in Schwerin and Dresden. Only a small number of Su-34 fighter jets have been deployed at the Zuo Airport, which is closest to Berlin. bomber.Berlin, which the German Democratic Republic was desperately trying to capture, has now disappeared. The armored divisions responsible for the offensive are gradually moving away from Schwerin and Dresden. They are concentrating their forces on the northern and southern fronts. On the other hand, it seems that the German Democratic Baath Party has lost interest in Berlin.

Drones flying quietly over East Germany brought back a lot of hard-to-find intelligence for the United States, including the movements of East German troops, as well as the deployment of Soviet naval infantry brigades and airborne troops.

Through the analysis of these intelligence, the U.S. military sent the news to the German Federal Ministry of Defense that the German Democratic Republic may now plan to attack the Federal Republic of Germany in the direction of Dresden or Schwerin at the same time.Since they can't take down Berlin, they will naturally have to win more state capitals to make up for the strategic losses of East Germany.Moreover, as a "peacekeeping force", the Soviet Union was only willing to provide equipment support, and seemed unwilling to allow ground forces to participate in this comprehensive operation.

After receiving the news, the U.S. Strategic Command decided to bypass the high-level federal government and communicate directly with the German Minister of Defense on the phone.The United States needs to gain the right to operate on German soil.But Cole is only willing to let them be stationed within the limits of Berlin.

"Minister Scharpin, their goal is to capture the rest of the cities, and then put political pressure on the Federal Government of Germany. The intelligence obtained from our reconnaissance plane can show that after the Soviet Union's logistical supplement, the current Democratic Republic Army has With a stronger military strength, facing the Federal German government with weak ground armor, it is entirely possible to occupy the federal state through flat push." ​​Minister Perry directly reported the unfortunate news to the German Minister of Defense at the US Strategic Command, Although this news sounds a bit hurtful.

"And what's worse now is that the Bundeswehr has a serious shortage of tanks, right? Even if the entire US Second Armored Cavalry Regiment is put on the battlefield, it's only barely keeping the Bundeswehr."

This time, what Perry said was true. Although the United States invested in an armored cavalry regiment, it would be useless if it fought on multiple fronts.

Minister Scharpin remained silent. Cole had always emphasized that the U.S. military cannot intervene in this internal dispute in Germany, but now it seems that if the U.S. military does not intervene, the Bundeswehr is not an opponent of the German Democratic Republic at all.It may be taken away by the opponent's steel torrent without even deploying.

The grim situation in Germany and Cole's order produced contradictions and conflicts.

"Now Germany can only be saved if we both work together. Minister Scharpin, you don't want to see the Bundeswehr lose in a mess. After all, the Battle of Berlin was stopped after the order to fight to the death. If there was another all-out war, the ending might be completely rewritten."

"Even the Bundeswehr has noticed that you are no match for the Soviet armored forces." Minister Perry's serious words sounded more like sarcasm.

"So what do you want to do?" Charpin asked, he couldn't believe that the other party was here to mock him after saying so much.

"Cooperation, the Bundeswehr can only cooperate with the U.S. military to give full play to their respective advantages. U.S. armored force support can alleviate the shortage of some tanks, and we also have strong artillery support. Although the German Air Force has suffered losses, it still retains Most of the combat power is just right for air cover strikes in joint operations."

The U.S. Department of Defense’s intimidation was very successful, and the already jittery German Ministry of Defense could only finally agree to a joint operation by the U.S. Army. As a result, the armored cavalry regiments that were originally concentrated in the Berlin area were quickly transferred to Erfurt and Hamburg for garrison. The verdict is that East Germany is very likely to give up the central battle plan, but to launch an offensive on the northern and southern fronts at the same time, forming a cornering trend, and rushing towards the Federal Republic of Germany.

Therefore, the M1A1 of the US military should not continue to be consumed in Berlin, but should be transferred to other areas for deployment.

The German Democratic Baath Party made a series of pre-war preparations for the next tough battle, such as suddenly dispatching a large number of intelligence investigation teams to investigate the movements of the Bundeswehr.Or suddenly announce that the former Pomeranian and Saxony states are on emergency alert, anyway, the Bundeswehr will think that East Germany is preparing to carry out combat plans here.

Their first step was to provoke the Bundeswehr on the border.For example, Schwerin conducted war maneuvers, and the German Democratic Republic even drew artillery fire to the border of the former Pomeranian state.

The German Democratic Republic issued an order to the Bundeswehr stationed on the border. Some of them got separated during the exercise, hoping to let the troops enter the state of Hamburg for search.The Bundeswehr would certainly not believe such nonsense, and decisively rejected the search and rescue mission.But it deepened their doubts.

It's just that they increasingly believe that the East German Democratic Republic Army is very likely to attack on the southern front and the northern front.

Scharpin also quickly withdrew the remaining troops from Berlin and stationed them in Hamburg and Erfurt to prevent a sudden attack from the other side.

It's just that the Bundeswehr has not realized that the tanks that were transferred out of the Berlin area openly returned to Berlin secretly, diverting the main force of the German-American coalition forces, and they are making final preparations.

War is imminent.

Their ultimate goal is to liberate Berlin.

"The plan to divert the U.S. military was successful, and their armored units began to move in the two directions we predicted, including the Fifth Artillery Hell Field Squadron."
