Soviet Union 1991

The third update

There is an unwritten ceasefire line between Potsdam and Berlin, where both sides have stationed a large number of troops. Including the elite 76th Airborne Division of the Soviet Union and the 7th "Revenge" Armored Division of the German Democratic Republic. The Federal Republic of Germany deployed the 1st Armored Division and the Special Operations Division here, forming the forefront of the war conflict.

Any disturbance will cause a bloody conflict here, so both sides adhere to the principle that the other side will fire first and stay where they are. Waiting for new instructions from their superiors.

A river lies between them, and this river flowing to Lake Plauer in the east of Potsdam happens to be a natural ceasefire line. The coalition forces of East Germany and the Soviet Union are stationed on the east side of the river, and the Federal Armed Forces are stationed on the west bank of the river. Both sides are eagerly waiting for each other's actions. The large number of armored forces deployed near the river bank brought a silent and cold breath to the combat troops. The smell of rust mixed with gunpowder and sulfur emitted by the steel tracks became the only company of the soldiers after nightfall.

At night, the entire ceasefire line would be filled with thick fog, hiding both sides in the darkness. No one would be stupid enough to turn on the lights and become the target of the other side's concentrated fire. Occasionally, when the flares were raised, they would see the outlines of armored vehicles or T80 tanks, which only flashed between lightning and fire, and then disappeared into the darkness again.

However, the other side became very lively today, so much so that the top leaders of the Federal Armed Forces thought that the other side was preparing to attack. But they were surprised to find that all the tanks were retreating and slowly retreating from their shooting range. And the two headlights that lit up in the dark were as creepy as the eyes of bats, and they dissipated in the thick fog with some unwillingness. Only a mess of slightly crushed marks were left on the soil.

The troops that were originally planning to attack at any time disappeared, and in the end, the memory of the front-line soldiers was only the two terrifying headlights of the tanks, which were as frightening as silent and stealthy ghosts.

The commander wanted to take advantage of the situation to cross the river and pursue the retreating East German army. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, just when he was about to apply to the Supreme Command, the Supreme Command sent him disappointing news.

The Command ordered all the attacking German troops to withdraw, and the federal government accepted the ceasefire agreement of East Germany.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the ambitious Wehrmacht generals who wanted to make achievements.

Looking at the empty opposite bank, the commander sighed, and there would be no result if he continued. In the end, he could only reluctantly issue the order to retreat.

"Withdraw."

All the troops could only follow the commander's approach and retreat. When they were told that they did not need to continue fighting, everyone was relieved. What they thought in their hearts was that they finally did not have to face the damn Soviet army. Almost everyone pessimistically believed that once they faced the Soviet armored forces, they would only be crushed.

"I hope this is the last tense situation in Germany. God, I don't want to face those damn Soviet soldiers for a moment, never."

This is the thought in the minds of most of the Federal Wehrmacht soldiers. The "little Soviet Union" East Germany brought them too much fear. As for the real Red Empire, they dared not even think about it.

In the foreign guest reception hall in Bonn, Berlin, Dobrynin was sitting opposite Madeleine. He had just received a call from the Kremlin, and the other party told him that the handover of American prisoners of war was completed very smoothly. The Soviet Union really kept its promise and handed over all the people to the US government, and everything was done in secret.

After Madeleine hung up the phone, she turned her head and saw Dobrynin looking at her with interest. She smiled, nodded to the other party and said, "Thanks to the Soviet Union for showing mercy, the American prisoners of war survived."

"It's not that we showed mercy, but we should thank the United States for its kindness. If you hadn't intervened, we don't know how long this battle would have lasted." Dobrynin picked up the wine glass and shook his right hand gently. The red wine under the candlelight also exuded an attractive luster at any time.

He raised his goblet politely and said, "Cheers to our victory."

"Cheers."

The glasses of Madeleine and Dobrynin touched each other, and the crisp collision sound was mixed with a happy smile of conspiracy. After drinking the wine in the glass, Dobrynin deliberately asked the other party, "What preparations does the White House have next? I think the Berlin co-trusteeship policy alone should not be enough to satisfy your appetite of harming others and not benefiting yourself."

The Berlin co-trusteeship is just a product of compromise between the two parties. In fact, the US government has no substantial return. For the United States, it is not enough to just win back a game strategically.

"In the eyes of Dobrynin's consultant, is the image of the White House so bad?" Madeleine retorted.

"In your eyes, doesn't the Kremlin also symbolize dictatorship and oppression?" Dobrynin smiled and counterattacked. He made a silent gesture, indicating that the other party should not speak first, "Wait, let me guess what the White House will do next."

"American capitalists were able to plunder Germany's wealth through short selling and recover losses from Germany. I think financial capitalists such as the Goldman Sachs investment bank in the United States are already ready to take the plunge and attack Germany? After all, this war not only cost Germany The loss of three eastern states also caused serious economic losses, which is intolerable to Cole. Moreover, the negotiations in the Eurozone have also entered a critical period, and he will never allow any trouble at this time."

Dobrynin picked up the fork, placed it in front of Madeleine, smiled and said, "This is your knife."

"I think investment banks will vigorously promote high investment and high returns in the financial industry, making the Kohl government strongly encourage investment in a series of financial products in order to restore prosperity as soon as possible. However, the real root of Germany lies in the manufacturing industry, which urgently needs funds. However, German manufacturing companies were unable to obtain effective loans and thus went bankrupt.”

He picked up the fork on the table again and shrugged at Madeleine, "This is your fork."

After saying this, he added, "Perhaps you can also implement anti-dumping measures against all walks of life in Germany, increase import and export tariffs on German-made products, and further destroy the German economy. The Federal Republic of Germany's economy is like the The steak is left to be slaughtered. Am I right? Secretary Madeleine."

She was about to speak but was rejected by Dobrynin, "Shh, you don't have to rush to refute my point of view. I know that as Secretary of State, you never ask about these things, but you have to be clear. The Soviet Union is also watching Germany. Just one piece. We are just worried that our allies will stretch their hands too far and cut into our cake.”

"Wait a minute, I heard what Advisor Dobrynin said, are you planning to stop our actions?" Madeleine did not allow any mistakes in the tasks assigned by the White House.

"Of course we are not going to stop you. In fact, we very much welcome you to do this. Oh, by the way, it is best to drag Poland into the water. After all, if Germany does not find a country to vent its anger, it will feel that it may not be able to step down. And Isn’t Poland the best scapegoat? What do you think of this crime of secretly supplying weapons to East Germany?”

Madeleine was stunned for a moment. Previously, the White House had planned to pour sewage on Poland and the Soviet Union. Now it seemed that the other party's words were meant to warn her that they had already prepared.

"Don't worry, the Soviet Union has got its own satisfactory answer. No matter what happens next, we will just choose to stand by and watch."

"How would you like to express our pleasant cooperation for the second time?" Dobrynin swung the wine in his glass and looked at the slightly tipsy Secretary Madeleine in front of him.

And Madeleine also picked up the wine glass very wisely and said, "Cheers and happy cooperation."

“A pleasure to work with.”

After drinking the last glass, Dobrynin stood up, smiled and said to Madeleine, "Our conversation is over. Enjoy the dinner, Madam Secretary."

It is always easier to finalize some shady secrets at the wine table than at the negotiation table. Dobrynin is a believer in Uskinov's law. Then he just needs to go back to Moscow to watch the show.
