Soviet Union 1991

Update 3

On the way to Yanaev's office, Vladimir's hurried footsteps attracted passers-by to stop and watch. At the same time, they were secretly guessing what kind of shocking news this frequent visitor to the Kremlin would bring.

Vladimir put the telegram on the table, his face a little solemn.

"What's wrong?" Yanaev put down the documents in his hand and asked calmly. He has become very calm about any sudden situation, or immune to it.

"The attack on Berlin is not as smooth as we imagined. The German Democratic Republic Army encountered huge resistance. This is the feedback from the front line. The Berlin offensive has fallen into a stalemate. And the German Democratic Republic Army's offensive force has almost been exhausted. In other words, the German Democratic Republic Army may eventually fail."

Yanaev opened the envelope in front of him, quickly scanned the contents of the telegram, and fell into deep thought with his chin in his hand.

"Why do I feel that the Bundeswehr can finally hold the overall situation this time?" Yanayev said in amazement, holding the telegram from the Foreign Intelligence Service, "I thought the German Democratic Republic Army should be able to capture southern Berlin in one go, but I didn't expect it to be stuck between Tempelhof. It seems that East Germany's luck has run out. The Bundeswehr and a group of militias fought at such a level, it's embarrassing to say it out."

The performance of the Bundeswehr in the German Civil War surprised everyone, especially those military observers from other countries. After watching it, they shook their heads and sighed, saying that the Federal Republic of Germany was going to be finished, and the orthodox Prussia was in East Germany.

Comrade Vladimir said, "The bomber formation that took off from Zossen failed to break the last line of defense after a series of attacks, and now the soldiers on the eastern defense line are moving to the south. Once the transfer is successful, Berlin will become a tug-of-war, which is a bad situation for us."

The remaining armaments of the Western Army Group have all been supported by the German Democratic Republic Army. The Soviet Union can no longer provide any support. There were not many fighters that could carry out combat missions at the beginning. The Federal Republic of Germany has now mobilized all its air forces to attack the ground forces.

It seems impossible to take Berlin in a short time, and what Jonishkis lacks most now is time. Rudolf Scharping, who saw this, used the tactic of procrastination to slow down the offensive of the East Germans.

"What should we do?" Comrade Vladimir was waiting for Yanayev's final decision. If they don't think of a way, the efforts they have made from the beginning will fall short. If they could not take Berlin, it would not be a real victory for East Germany. Their goal was to destroy the Chancellery, which symbolized oppression and dictatorship, and represent the liberation of the German people.

"It is time for the Soviet Union to intervene in the German civil war by force." Yanaev said calmly, as if he was talking about a question that had been carefully considered.

When this sentence came out of his mouth, Vladimir's mouth twitched. He even didn't believe his ears and repeated what Yanaev had just said.

"You mean, intervening in Germany's internal affairs by force? General Secretary Yanaev, what's the difference between this and telling Berlin openly that we were the ones who planned the East German incident? And if things go wrong, it will provoke NATO to declare war on the Soviet Union directly. At that time, not only will we not be able to open a gap in East Germany, but we will be in a very passive situation."

"Of course."

Yanayev said, "This is to maintain peace in Europe, just like when they interfered with the Bosnian regime. In this land of Europe, force is reason, and missiles are justice. And the troops sent by the Soviet Union are not regular troops, but "peacekeeping" troops, but they are under the banner of maintaining humanitarianism."

"Peacekeeping troops... Is this a replica of the South Ossetia model?" Vladimir did not expect Yanayev to have planned a retreat long ago. For him, whether the East German troops captured Berlin was no longer the point. Yanayev had already made preparations for both situations to realize his plan.

"Blame the Soviet Union for tearing its face and fighting? When the NATO joint combat forces took action within the member states, did they take into account the Soviet Union's feelings?" Yanayev snorted coldly. Morality and power go hand in hand. Before NATO blames the Soviet Union for its actions, it should also look at what kind of stuff it is.

"We will send the 336th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade to board ships and enter the German waters to put pressure on the Federal Republic of Germany on the grounds of maintaining regional peace. If NATO has not taken action by then, Germany will be completely finished. Because they are more cautious than us in this move. They want to strike the Federal German government, but they don't want the ** army to form an absolute advantage. So for them, both sides have to carry out blood transfusion support policies. The purpose is to suppress Germany's position as the leader of the European Union."

"But if the Soviet Union is allowed to exert pressure openly, the situation will be different. President Mario will definitely seize this opportunity and adopt the same policy, such as sending troops to the German border, both to support the Federal German troops and to ensure that Germany will not fall. So it is obvious what the final result will be."

"The final result is that the two sides are back at the negotiation table." Yanayev said, "And after getting permission from the East German authorities, we openly deployed armored troops to the three northeastern states of Germany to carry out peacekeeping. This should be a big loss for Kohl."

Vladimir frowned and asked, "Then what about Berlin? For the German Democratic Renaissance Party, won't their efforts be in vain?"

"In vain? This is just a short-term avoidance. The Berlin negotiations are just to give the German Democratic Renaissance Party time to mediate with the other party. When the Soviet peacekeeping force in East Germany really enters the northeast of the Federal Republic of Germany, do you think Kohl still has a chance to win?"

Vladimir didn't say anything this time, or he had nothing to say.

Yanayev chuckled, but he had other plans in mind. "Of course, it would be even better if the peace talks could break down. Because then they would not be facing the incomplete and incomplete army they are facing now, but the German Democratic Republic Army armed to the teeth by the Soviet Union."

"The real German steel torrent." (To be continued.)
