Soviet Union 1991

Text Chapter 746: There is no Prussia after East Germany

For the upcoming negotiations in Berlin, the German Democratic Republic Army and the Federal Government of Germany announced a 72-hour ceasefire to prepare for the subsequent peace talks. The location of the peace talks was set at the Reichstag Building in Berlin. The war in the past few days had not spread to this area, and the Reichstag Building remained in relatively intact condition.

The representatives sent by the Quartet this time were German Chancellor Kohl, leader of the German Democratic Renaissance Party Jonishkis, US National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, and Soviet Foreign Relations Advisor Primakov, all of whom participated. to the key figures in this German crisis. This time's talks will greatly affect the historical process of Germany.

This is also Primakov’s first time setting foot on Berlin. The stretch from Berlin International Airport to the Reichstag is full of armored vehicles and soldiers patrolling back and forth. Primakov even saw a few M1A1 tanks. Deployed at a crossroads, American soldiers were sitting on them talking and laughing.

Although the war ended briefly, martial law in Berlin still did not end. This negotiation is related to Germany's peace process, and no one dares to neglect it. Before arriving in Berlin, Primakov had had a secret conversation with Colonel Jonishkis about the peace negotiations.

"The Soviet Union has already made a series of measures, including preparations for war, so this peace talk is just a formality. There will be a real war next. This time, we must take Berlin." Phone call Riplimakov's voice seemed a little flat, but what he said made Jonishkis excited.

"The attack time will be set on the night after the first negotiation. The Su-34 bomber formation will cover the German Democratic Republic's attack. At the same time, the MiG-29 fighter squadron will also take off from the direction of Dresden and Schwerin in advance to strike. Berlin's air defense facilities will be delivered to you later. Ground armored forces, Colonel Jonishkis. This is a black operation by the Soviet Union. We will not admit what we did in Berlin. If you cannot capture Berlin the next day, we will never send peacekeeping troops in rashly. So your chance is only one or two days.”

Jonishkis replied firmly, "Everything is going according to plan, Comrade Primakov. Berlin will be in our possession. This war will be over only when Berlin is captured."

"Yes, capture Berlin and complete the final step in liberating East Germany."

Primakov didn't come back from his thoughts until the car stopped at the door of the Capitol. At this time, the car door was opened, and when he walked out, he saw the magnificent building in front of him that was heavily wrapped in tanks and armored vehicles. Suddenly, he seemed to have returned to the battle to defend the Empire State Building.

Primakov shook his head, putting such unrealistic thoughts behind him, and walked towards the gate of the Reichstag.

The leaders of the remaining three parties have arrived at the Congress hall and are about to hold a grand meeting. After the war broke out, the Capitol had ceased operations and was used as the host venue for the four-party talks.

US Secretary of State Madeleine behaved unusually calmly. In the previous private discussions between President Mario and the Soviet Union, the other party did not show any intention of resuming the division of Germany, which made Madeleine relieved.

If the Soviet Union only wanted to station troops in Germany to protect the newly born pro-Soviet regime, then they would be able to take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations. After all, the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany were at the negotiating table to put pressure on the German Democratic Renaissance Party. The United States was fully able to dominate the situation while the Soviet Union stood idly by.

After entering the four-party negotiation, Madeleine signaled to Cole with her eyes, telling the other party that preemptive negotiations could be carried out. Cole coughed slightly and put forward the conditions of the Federal Republic of Germany for restoring order.

He stood up, took the manuscript and spoke seriously.

"Regarding the recent situation in East Germany, the top leaders of the German federal government have unanimously decided that we are willing to put forward the following conditions for an agreement. First, all former East German soldiers who joined the German Democratic Republic Army will not be blamed, and at the same time, your pensions will be restored to be equal to those of the Bundeswehr. Recognize all the honors of retired soldiers and officers of the East German Democratic Army, and at the same time improve the welfare benefits in East Germany and promise not to reduce any welfare expenditures.”

In Primakov's view, these are nothing more than petty profits. Only the German Democratic Ennahda party looks down upon this interest. They already occupied half of the country, and their appetites naturally grew.

However, after Cole proposed these conditions, he quickly moved on to their demands.

"Our demand is that the German Democratic Republic Army be disbanded immediately. We do not allow any other armed forces besides the Bundeswehr to appear on German soil."

Colonel Jonishkis listened to Cole's speech expressionlessly. To him, this was like a joke. Let the German Democratic Republic Army disband? The reason Jonishkis is able to sit here and negotiate is largely due to the army behind him. This is the real capital for negotiations between East Germany and the federal government. Agreeing to the federal government's outrageous request now is a pipe dream.

"All the Western Army Groups of the Soviet Union that have not yet been evacuated will evacuate from German soil immediately. The time limit given to you is one month. We do not want to see a civil strife in Germany with the Soviet Union behind it. If the Soviet Union If you think one month is too tight, then we will let the Bundeswehr force you to evacuate."

When saying this, even Madeline raised her head slightly. It was not a wise choice for Cole to make this request at the negotiation table.

On the issue of his request for the Soviet Union to withdraw its troops, Cole specifically glanced at Primakov, with mixed emotions of resentment in his eyes, as if he was blaming the other party for turning Germany into what it is now. However, he had no unnecessary emotions towards Cole's accusations, and still had a cold-looking attitude. Anyway, the protagonist of this meeting was not the Soviet Union, and no matter how many demands Cole made, it had nothing to do with him.

"Third, you have no right to decide on refugee issues and religious issues. This is an internal issue of the Federal Republic of Germany, not an internal issue of East Germany. All you have to do is accept them, not exclude them. Ban East Germany It is strictly forbidden to carry out any anti-religious movement and organize people to attack refugee camps.”

For the sake of his own reputation, Kohl didn't care about the feelings of the East German people at all, so much so that he himself forgot that the conditions and demands he proposed were not proportional at all.

Jonishkis still held back and patiently listened to Cole's long speech and excessive demands. Although he couldn't resist the urge to shoot him in the head.

"The Federal Government of Germany has absolute control over eastern Germany. The people of East Germany are not allowed to carry out any mass demonstrations to protest German policies, let alone privately expel refugees or destroy mosques. Offenders will be sent to prison for promoting fascism. . Of course, let alone the so-called German spirit and Prussian spirit, do you understand what I mean?”

Primakov had turned his head and looked elsewhere. He really couldn't listen anymore. This was not a peace negotiation, it was just making demands of the loser as a victor. I don't know where Cole got his confidence. What's more, East Germany has not yet completely failed. The German Democratic Republic Army still maintains considerable combat effectiveness.

When he said this, Colonel Jonishkis couldn't bear it anymore. The Prussian spirit is the spiritual pillar of the German Democratic Renaissance Party and even the entire East Germany. Now emphasizing the abandonment of the Prussian spirit is simply a betrayal of East Germany.

Colonel Jonishkis stood up, and all eyes were on him.

He didn't care about other people's eyes at all, but pointed directly at Cole and said to him unceremoniously, "Do you know the biggest difference between the East German and Federal German governments?"

"You have merely inherited a semblance of the Iron Cross, but are actually an incompetent and spiritually emasculated army."

"Although the East German People's Army did not inherit the Iron Cross, it did inherit all the pride and glory of the Prussian spirit! When the Federal Republic of Germany emphasizes that it inherits German orthodoxy, please remember this sentence."

"After East Germany, there will be no Prussia!"
