Soviet Union 1991

Fourth update

"You probably didn't prepare any big news or surprises for me this time. Lubyanka seems to be very busy recently. Even Kryuchkov, who is preparing to start his retirement life early, has reappeared in the building, not to mention The Foreign Intelligence Service." On the way to the Chancellery of the Federal Republic of Germany, Yanayev suddenly raised this question to Vladimir, implying that he had seen his actions.

Vladimir shook his head calmly, "Of course not. Recently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still investigating the remnant parties involved in the Caucasus rebellion, and the KGB is still responsible for spreading negative news about Eastern European countries. If this trivial matter is what General Secretary Yanayev is referring to, Big news."

Yanayev looked at the crowds on both sides of the street and said to himself, "This is no small matter, Comrade Vladimir. This is the first step to plunge Eastern Europe into war. Those idiots in Western Europe will fight for themselves Paying for the plunder, the Eastern European countries will be lost forever. As long as the economic downturn persists, the social level of Eastern European countries will not improve. Coupled with the secret operation of the KGB, it will be a matter of time before revolution breaks out. "

Yanayev held his chin, his expression calm, as if what he said was just an insignificant matter, rather than a big plan to affect the situation in Europe.

"At that time, we can support the anti-Western European forces in Eastern Europe, which are not necessarily socialist countries. As long as the scope of the Iron Curtain is pushed back to the borders of Central Europe, we will win."

With the current influence of the Soviet Union and factors left over from history, it is no longer possible to be pro-Soviet. The only thing that can be done is to plant seeds of hatred against Western countries among the people of Eastern Europe. The prerequisites for all this depend on the influence of the Soviet Union. After the economic recovery in 1991, it seemed that the Soviet Union shifted the focus of trade to the relatively stable Eastern European countries. After all, Europe had already declined, but Asia showed prosperity. situation.

The car stopped in front of an exquisite building next to the Spree River. When the car door opened, Yanayev saw a number of high-level officials from the German government waiting for his arrival.

President Herzog stood in front of the lobby of the Federal Chancellery and watched Yanayev walking towards him. What kind of surprises will this man who has had more confrontations than cooperation during his term of office bring to Germany?

He threw all unrealistic thoughts behind him and stepped forward to shake hands with Yanayev and say hello, "Welcome to Berlin, General Secretary Yanayev. We sincerely hope that the friendship between Germany and the Soviet Union will last for a long time." Keep."

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

Herzog's interview was not the most important. Yanayev's battlefield was the negotiation with Cole. Obviously he also revealed that the Soviet Union was coming to Poland. Since everyone has a common goal, then The only thing left is to discuss how to proceed.

In the conference room where the German Chancellor received foreign guests, Kohl had been waiting for Yanayev for a long time. When the other party arrived, he immediately got to the point without any delay.

"Regarding the issue of Poland, I think General Secretary Yanayev and I have already made a general judgment." Cole said without any concealment, "Germany has been unwilling to cooperate with Poland recently on the refugee issue. , Not only that, Kwasniewski even encouraged other Central and Eastern European countries to resist German policies, which made Berlin feel very passive. "

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 will definitely threaten the Soviet Union’s strategic space, am I right?”

Yanayev crossed his arms, wanting 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 was very accurate. Cole did not have the will to cooperate. How could he give up the deployment of anti-missile systems in Poland. This is the lifeblood of ensuring political security in Western Europe. Germany is not stupid enough to replace the refugee problem with a barrier of survival.

This was just a negotiation in which both parties were wasting time. Cole thought he was plotting against Yanayev, but in fact Yanayev was also plotting against Cole.

"Of course, this is why I visited Berlin. I hope that both sides can work together on this issue and force Poland to abandon its policies. This is also to safeguard our interests, Prime Minister Kohl."

Yanayev opened his palms, and Vladimir handed a document into his hands very appropriately. Yanayev put the document on the table and said word by word, "This is our attitude towards cooperation. Is it sincere enough? With a symbolic donation of five million US dollars from the Soviet Union, we hope to help the people of the former East Germany improve their one’s own living environment.”

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

Cole reminded Yanayev, "Also, I want to know when the Soviet troops will be able to withdraw from German territory. We have been waiting for almost six years from 1989 to now!"

"Since Germany has waited for six years, it won't mind waiting until the end of this year, right? The disarmament operation is almost complete. I guarantee that after next year, there will be no more Soviet soldiers on German territory."

Yanaev was polite, but he was sneering and mocking Cole in his heart. If he wanted to prevent a Soviet soldier from being seen on German territory, he might as well just split East Germany and West Germany again, and then he wouldn't see any.

"Of course I don't mind." Cole was a little overjoyed. He had even prepared for a protracted negotiation with Yanaev, but he didn't expect Yanaev to give in as soon as he arrived.

Just as Kohl opened his mouth to continue speaking, the chancellor's assistant rushed into the meeting room, ignoring the obstruction of security personnel from both sides, and shouted to Kohl, "Oh no, Chancellor Kohl, East Germany, East Germany has erupted into a massive demonstration!"

"What?"

Hearing the news, Kohl stood up from his seat in a hurry. Of course, dealing with the emergency at this time was more important than the negotiation, so he said to Yanaev, "Sorry, General Secretary Yanaev, I think our negotiation will have to wait until next time." (To be continued.) m.
