USSR 1991

Imitating the resistance to fascist aggression, the flag was planted on the topmost building of the Capitol.

This great and honorable mission will be accomplished by the German Democratic Republic Army.

Chapter 759 Germany is not worthy at all

The scene where the soldiers of the German Democratic Republic planted the flag on the top floor of the Reichstag was filmed by the war reporters present.In the news screen, a black eagle symbolizing Prussia fluttered in the wind on the flag, as if it was about to spread its wings and soar into the sky.

The capture of the Reichstag meant that the troops guarding Berlin had all failed, and West Germany was a success or failure.

At the same time as the Reichstag fell, so did the Chancellery of the Federal Republic of Germany.The garrison troops surrendered directly to the attacking soldiers without even resisting. They have seen that the situation is over, and no matter how hard they struggle, it will be futile.

The last is the "Destroy Wolf's Lair" operation. In addition to occupying key facilities, the No.40 Airborne Regiment also finds the highest command and captures the top leaders of the Bundeswehr.This is the key to this raid.

At High Command in Berlin, soldiers stormed General Henry's room and seized the Berlin campaign commander, who had lost any resistance.The walking dead Henry was already an empty shell. The failure of the Battle of Berlin was too much for him. Coupled with the command of the headquarters not to retreat, he lost all thoughts of survival.

The Chancellery, which symbolizes the rights of the Federal Republic of Germany, has fallen, and the "Wolf's Lair" of the Berlin Campaign Command has also been destroyed. The Bundeswehr has no reason to continue fighting in Berlin.

When the battle report from the front line reached the command room of the German Democratic Republic, everyone couldn't help applauding. Jonishkis covered his exhausted face with his hands, but the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably. After a month of fighting, they finally ended the damned battle and took Berlin.

The first thing he did was to call the Kremlin's phone number and report the good news to Yanayev.

"Yes, General Secretary Yanayev, we have captured Berlin." Colonel Jonishkis took a deep breath, "Everyone thought the war was over, but in fact the war has just begun."

The military contest ended with East Germany's complete victory, but the political and diplomatic war without gunpowder has just begun.

Yanayev smiled. Colonel Jonishkis would choose to know himself after the war, which shows that he has realized that the next road of the German Democratic Baath Party will be more difficult.That's why they chose the Soviet Union to be their political backer.After all, East Germany was only occupied Berlin, and the Bundeswehr and the U.S. Cavalry did not suffer heavy losses. They could counterattack at any time and take back Berlin.

"Generally speaking, the reason for the failure of the Federal Republic of Germany this time is insufficient preparation and excessive underestimation of the enemy, while the East German army just seized these two points, so they won a big victory. But I think they will not Make that mistake again." Yanayev said what Dhonishkis had in mind.

He continued, "You have been seriously injured, but the German Federal Republic can accumulate strength to launch a counterattack at any time, not to mention that there are Americans behind them. Your situation is not as bad as usual, Colonel Jonny Kiss. ​​So Now do you think the presence of Soviet peacekeepers in East Germany is still a violation of sovereignty?"

Jonishkis knew very well that the German Democratic Baath Party would be nothing without the huge arsenal provided by the Soviet Union.Not to mention seizing Berlin, even the three states of East Germany couldn't handle it.

"We need the Soviet peacekeeping force now, General Secretary Yanayev. It is not a force like the naval infantry brigade that cannot move quickly, but a real armored force. As long as the Soviet Union intervenes in the situation in Germany, the Americans are fine, the Federal Neither the Wehrmacht nor the Wehrmacht dared to act rashly. Didn’t they? That’s why we need your support, and no one wants to see East Germany come to an end, do they? You’ve put so much effort into it.”

Jonishkis, in turn, used East Germany to blackmail Yanayev, but he obviously didn't accept this.Yanayev just said to him very calmly on the phone, "Of course, we spent a lot of effort in East Germany. But Colonel Jonishkis doesn't need to use this thing to blackmail me. The agent is not suitable , we can change it. But the German Democratic Baath Party, can we change it?"

The tone was very flat, but there were many murderous intentions in the words. He warned Jonishkis, "Although we are already grasshoppers on the same line, you still have to figure out one thing. We are a community of interests. For you, East Germany is something you can’t get, but for us, the German Democratic Baath Party is not necessarily indispensable. So I hope East Germany can understand its own environment.”

Speaking of this, Yanayev also half-jokingly said, "Of course you can also try to get in touch with the Americans, but I guarantee that the other party will only keep the Federal Republic of Germany. In their eyes, you are just abandoned children."

After Yanayev finished speaking, there was only awkward silence on the other end of the phone.The speech of the Soviet leader was like enlightenment, and it was a blow to Jonishkis, who was immersed in the joy of victory.Only when he woke up did he realize that East Germany has become a puppet in the hands of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet weapons were used, and the logistical support was also from the Soviet Union. Except for the soldiers who fought desperately on the front line, all the lifelines of the German Democratic Baath Party were in the hands of the Kremlin.A little idea that just emerged in Jonishkis' heart was immediately strangled to death by Yanayev in the cradle.

Yanayev has always used the policy of carrots and sticks. The big stick has been used, and then it is natural to throw a carrot to the opponent.

"However, our 76th Airborne Division is already on its way to Germany, and it will reach the sky over Berlin in three hours at the latest. They will deploy their defenses at the forefront of Berlin and act as a barrier to maintain the entire city. As long as the Soviet troops take the lead , the Bundeswehr has no reason to attack. Of course, if they dare to attack our peacekeeping force, it is equivalent to declaring war on the Soviet Union. There are only a handful of countries in the world who dare to declare war on the Soviet Union.”

Yanayev paused and said slowly, "But I believe there must be no name of the Bundeswehr."

This is why Yanayev dared to uphold the capital of the German Democratic Baath Party openly. A country with strong military strength and comprehensive national strength dared to deal with any opponent who tried to provoke them.

Yanayev's method is to use an eye for an eye, blood for blood.Any country that dares to take advantage of the Soviet Union must end up with heavy losses.They have the combat capability to launch globally, even if they hide in Antarctica, they still cannot escape the range of Satan's intercontinental missiles.

It is by virtue of bloody means and terrifying strength that the Soviet led by Yanayev can become a frightening red devil again.Especially for those countries that wanted to step on them before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the final ending was not very good, and of course there are worse things waiting for them.

The Federal Republic of Germany is just a signal, and the counterattack of the Soviet Union is yet to come.

Even if the redification of Europe can only become a distant ideal, Yanayev will set NATO's backyard on fire and have no time to care for himself.What the East German rebellion ignited was just a powder keg.The Soviet Union will continue to add gunpowder to Germany until it explodes.

So it is very important to keep the spark of the Democratic Baath Party, otherwise Yanayev will not bet the airborne division on this meaningless land.

Jonishkis hesitated. He asked Yanayev, "Is it enough to send only one airborne division? Although the Battle of Berlin suffered heavy losses, the Bundeswehr still has at least three to four divisions of ground troops. Berlin going."

Faced with Jonishkis' questioning, Yanayev felt a little amused, but he still replied seriously, "I know you have every reason to question the combat level of the 76th Airborne Division, but I assure you, This is one of the elite units of the Soviet Union, and to be honest, I think it is a waste of money to put it on the battlefield in Germany now."

What Yanayev said was the truth. After watching this civil war that was almost at the level of World War II, his image of the Bundeswehr was extremely poor.

"I really hope that the Federal Republic of Germany can remember this. To put it bluntly, the Soviet elite troops are not prepared for them at all. Our troops are prepared to conquer the strongest army in the world."

"In our eyes, the Federal Republic of Germany is not worthy of being the Soviet Union's opponent."

Chapter 7: Pushing Germany into the Fire Pit

"Lack of people? Lack of equipment? I don't care. Before I get back to Berlin, I don't care how many troops you have, they will be drawn from other places to re-form a fortified force to attack Berlin. Berlin must give me Come back, if you don't get it back, Minister Scharpin, you just wait for the Bundeswehr to change blood! That's it! And I'm busy now, don't make trouble for me at this time, I have to explain to all the people in Germany, Why was the Battle of Berlin so miserable! I can’t say that our army is a bunch of trash, they can’t even fight a decent war.”

The microphone fell hard on the landline, and Cole blurted out a curse.

Berlin has fallen. No matter how unwilling Cole is to accept this fact, this is an unchangeable ending.The situation was completely reversed in just six hours, and the war that could have been won as long as it persisted was completely changed because of Cole's recklessness.He bears the unshirkable responsibility for the fall of Berlin.How to face the German people next is what he should consider more.

After hanging up the phone, Cole opened the curtain and looked down. A large number of reporters had gathered outside the interim prime minister's office.They all wanted to intercept Cole before he went to the TV station, asking what the other party's plans were for the Federal Republic of Germany after the fall of Berlin.After all, he had vowed to the people at the beginning that Berlin would never fall.

Cole fell into deep thought. In another hour, a press conference will be held, and he will have to explain to everyone the fiasco of the Battle of Berlin.After all, when the German Democratic Republic planted the flag of the Prussian Eagle on the top floor of the Reichstag, it was broadcast live to tens of millions of people across the country.

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Cole's thoughts. He picked up the phone, and the chief of staff to the Prime Minister told Cole that the White House had urgently called Germany to discuss something important.

"Come on over here, I'll talk to him." Cole said calmly.Now he doesn't care about anything but Berlin.If he can't win Berlin, he is a historical sinner in Germany.

When President Mario's voice rang from the other end of the phone, Cole suddenly had a sense of foreboding.It seems that something unfortunate is about to happen next.

Sure enough, the White House originally wanted to take advantage of this crisis.

"NATO is willing to send joint combat forces into Germany to put down the rebellion, including the US aircraft carrier battle group to blockade the ports of East Germany, and then send four armored divisions to attack Berlin, Dresden and Schwerin, and completely wipe out the German Democratic Republic Army. What do you think, Chancellor Kohl? With the current military power of West Germany, it is almost impossible to take back Berlin in a short time, unless with the help of NATO joint forces."

"What about the conditions?" Cole didn't believe that the United States would be so kind, and there must be an ulterior deal hidden behind the aid.This is why Cole has always refused to engage in in-depth cooperation with the Americans.

"The condition is that Germany must give up the leadership of the European Union." President Mario stated his purpose, "To hand over the leadership of the European Union to France is our only requirement."

The request made by the United States can be said to be brazen, and it is not an exaggeration to add insult to injury or take advantage of the fire.However, he obviously underestimated the determination of German Chancellor Kohl.

"I reject this request." Cole replied very simply, "With all due respect, President Mario. Let us hand over the position of the leader of the European Union. You don't even have to think about it. It is simply impossible. The European Union is our European Union." Humans, it will not have anything to do with the United States. We will not give up the core of our position because of this issue."

Cole had long expected that the White House would take advantage of the fire, so he insisted that he would never let go, and wanted to hand over the EU from him?The U.S. has not yet reached the point where it can make things worse.

President Mario took a deep breath and said slowly, "Are you really unwilling to hand over the position of the European Union to France? Only in this way can Germany free itself to deal with internal affairs. Look at the current Germany, which is about to return to Forget the divided state during the Cold War. Don’t forget that the German Democratic Republic is supported and abetted by the Soviet Union behind it.”

There was an added layer of threat in the tone.

"So what?" Cole, who was not afraid, immediately retorted, accusing the White House of being nosy, "No matter how serious the problem in Germany is, it is an internal problem in Germany, and there is no chance for an outsider to intervene. If you want to get involved, you have to look at yourself Do you have this ability. President Mario, an armored cavalry regiment is already the bottom line of my tolerance, please stop trying to provoke my patience. Otherwise, I will let you get no benefit at all."

"If nothing else, I'm going to hang up. I'm very busy right now, very busy."

After saying this, Cole hung up the phone decisively, leaving only a busy message for President Mario.He said a damned old fox disdainfully, turned and walked out of the prime minister's office, closing the door behind him.

Next he needs to admit his mistake in front of the whole nation, and that his recklessness has ruined Berlin.Kohl is going to suppress Merkel's matter and make it a secret between them.After all, Merkel is his favorite successor to the Democratic Party, and he does not want to lose his excellent career because of being involved in this incident.

Holding the microphone in his left hand, Mario was stunned for a few seconds by the busy tone coming from the phone, and then shrugged helplessly.Said to Sandy Berger beside him, "It seems that your plan does not seem to be very effective, Berger consultant. Cole directly rejected our request. It seems that the Federal Republic of Germany does not intend to compromise with East Germany. Carry on the war to the end."
