Chapter 1897 Bold Idea

Hearing the analysis given by Bao Zixuan and the confidential documents in front of him, beads of sweat began to flow from Hoffman's head! After so many years in the army, he has never been so worried; even in the face of war or any emergency, he has never been so worried.

It’s such an embarrassing situation today! It involves the core interests of hundreds of thousands of people, and they are also soldiers who protect their homes and the country. As the highest commander of the army, how could he remain indifferent!

However, the other party's analysis is very reasonable, at least he can't find any reason to refute it. Although the confidential document in front of him is just a photo, from the format and other aspects, it can be concluded that it comes from the West German Ministry of Defense. The habits of German soldiers,

It is really difficult for outsiders to imitate it; as the Minister of Defense of East Germany, I have seen many documents in this format.

The possibility of counterfeiting is not very high, let’s analyze it from another angle; even if he is the decision-maker of West Germany, he will not allow East Germany to retain too many troops; after all, it is a hidden danger!

As for not recognizing that East German soldiers had fought for the country, it is understandable; indeed, as Bao Zixuan said, so far many World War II veterans have never enjoyed the treatment that a retired soldier deserves. If West Germany’s finances do not allow it,

Why should we pay compensation to a group of African natives who followed the famous German general Vorbeck during World War I?

This shows that in their eyes, the German soldiers during World War I fought for the country; even the indigenous troops were their own people. But the soldiers of World War II, even pure Germans, would not be recognized. East German soldiers may be better than the soldiers of World War II.

If it's worse, how can you enjoy the treatment of retired military personnel?

Hoffman thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Bao's words are very reasonable. I wonder if I can ask you for help. Let's see if there is any good way to resettle the East German soldiers!"

If soldiers want to integrate into society, they need an adaptation process; especially the East German soldiers during the Cold War, their nerves were always tense; they didn't know when war would come, let alone whether they would suffer a nuclear attack.

Basically every day I think about how to fight and defeat the enemy; to increase my own survival probability.

It is impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to suddenly take off their military uniforms to engage in security work; besides, there are not that many jobs in Germany! But apart from security, many people do not know how to do anything else; then there is only one possibility - unemployment!

The merger of the two Germanys requires a digestion process. There are so many things going on, how can it be possible to take care of other things, let alone the unpopular East German soldiers.

Except for the man in front of me, no one can really help.

Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said: "About ten years ago, Heiyun Group began to cooperate extensively with East German companies. Therefore, I don't know much about East Germany, but I still know some basic conditions."

"With the current economic strength of East Germany, it is simply impossible to support the disbandment expenses of hundreds of thousands of troops; it is even less possible to afford various welfare guarantees after retirement!"

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have fought for our country and nation, are we to watch them become impoverished and impoverished? They may suffer from alcohol, violence and other problems in the rest of their lives.

Tell the worst case scenario first, and subsequent matters will be much easier to handle!

As the Minister of Defense, I have seen too many retired soldiers give up on themselves. It is okay that the number is small, but if hundreds of thousands of people are involved, the entire country is likely to fall into civil strife. Germany was finally unified and will never allow this to happen.

Of course, Hoffman knew what the boy in front of him wanted to express. If something went wrong, there would be a monster. If he had nothing to ask for, he wouldn't go around in such a big circle, let alone invite him to meet!

But now, except for Bao Zixuan, other companies have no ability to accept hundreds of thousands of people; they have no money to pay the so-called compensation! As for what the other party wants, of course they understand; otherwise, the Minister of Defense will be too incompetent!

Hoffman thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Bao, I am a soldier, and you studied science and engineering. If you have any questions, you can talk about it. East German soldiers should not be treated unfairly; but there are some things that cannot be stopped at all.

"But the necessary compensation must not be less."

"As for what you want, I am very clear about it; selling some weapons and equipment is not impossible; everything is for the sake of national stability. At the same time, I hope that Heiyun Group will recruit as many retired soldiers as security personnel as possible."

Hearing the other party's initiative to sell weapons and equipment, Bao Zixuan immediately had an idea. At this moment, he had the initiative, and at the same time, he had new ideas about obtaining weapons and equipment from East Germany.

Bao Zixuan said very seriously: "General Hoffman, you and I both know that after reunification Germany is dominated by West Germany, and the same is true for weapons and equipment."

"West Germany uses NATO-standard weapons, while East Germany uses typical Soviet-style weapons. The weapons of the two sides are simply incompatible, and when logistical support cannot be met, West Germany will never take the risk of using Soviet-style weapons."

This is also true, and the Germans did exactly that!

East Germany's large-scale weapons are not from the same system as the equipment originally used by West Germany; daily maintenance is not only complicated, but also consumes huge amounts of money. For the newly unified Germany, various tasks are complicated and money is used.

There are so many places.

After the reunification of Germany in its previous life, on the one hand, it massively reduced the armed forces of the East German People's Army, and on the other hand, it put these East German weapons and equipment on the shelves. The weapons and equipment originated from the Soviet Union and were very popular, and they were quickly sold out.

Among them, the procurement of naval weapons is particularly prominent; although three Kony-class corvettes were delisted and dismantled, 16 Passim-class corvettes were packaged and sold to Indonesia, and became the

The main and best missile boats of the country's navy were also sold to Poland in 1991, becoming the absolute main force of the Polish navy. The minesweepers were decommissioned in 1991 and sold to Indonesia and Uruguay respectively.

The naval ships from East Germany, except for a few auxiliary ships, were all removed from the German armed forces in 1991. However, these ships were soon taken over by their next owners and became the main force of other countries' navies; they continued to fight.

service.

Unlike the East German navy ships, which have been taken over, the East German air force fighter jets seem to have fallen into a situation where no one cares. Before the reunification, the more than 300 MiG-21 series were already on the verge of being difficult to operate. After the reunification of the two Germanys,

150 of them found a home in museums, while the others had to be forced out of active service and could not escape the fate of being dismantled.

Similarly, the MiG-23 series fighters of the East German Air Force did not escape the fate of being dismantled. Only 24 MiG-29 fighters had different endings. These fighters began to serve in the East German Air Force in 1988; after reunification,

After serving in the German Air Force for more than 10 years, they were sold to Poland at a very low price. Even in the 20th century, Poland still could not let go of these second-hand fighters from East Germany.

East German Army equipment, except for some old weapons that were dismantled, was mostly purchased by other countries and gained a second life. Among them, the Finnish Armed Forces became the main buyer of East German Army equipment, introducing a total of 97 vehicles.

T-72 main battle tanks, 140 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, 72 2S1 122mm self-propelled howitzers, and nearly 400 towed howitzers; including D-30 122mm grenades and M-46 130mm cannons.

In addition, Sweden has also purchased 500 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, and Greece has also introduced 350 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles. Of course, the BMP-1 introduced by these NATO countries have been upgraded in accordance with NATO standards!

The most annoying thing is that the Americans received 86 T-72 tanks, 21 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, 15 BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, 27 armored personnel carriers, 11 2S1 self-propelled howitzers, and 9 2S3 self-propelled howitzers.

Howitzers, 1 D-30 howitzer, 2 D-20 howitzers, 2 BR-70 rocket launcher systems, and 4 BM-21 rocket launcher systems. Of course, it is not to equip the troops, but simply to study the weaknesses of Soviet-made weapons and equipment, and then

Implement countermeasures.

How could it be possible not to get a share of such a huge cake? Moreover, Bao Shaofu had already planned to eat all the weapons and equipment in one bite before other forces could react.

If you were alone, you would definitely not dare to have such an idea; but with the Rothschild family and various Arab countries in the Middle East behind you, the matter is a different matter.

As long as it is done well, NATO countries will never take any advantage!

Bao Zixuan said very seriously: "You can sell all the current East German weapons and equipment to me, secretly of course; announce to the outside world that all weapons and equipment must be destroyed, and it was proposed by the Soviet Union; the purpose is to prevent the Soviet Union's advanced weapons from being mastered by the United States and NATO.

"

"When the time comes, feel free to destroy and dismantle some old weapons and equipment; I will make arrangements to ensure nothing goes wrong."
