Soviet Union 1991

Main text Chapter 841 Franco-German Alliance

The suppression of refugees only temporarily diverts the public's attention from the German economy, but does not actually completely solve the problem of domestic economic weakness. Throughout Europe, countries are hoping to divert people from the unemployment problem caused by the economic crisis and contradictions, and are trying to use other methods to divert contradictions and crises.

France adopted the method of suppressing the Gaddafi regime in Syria to divert domestic conflicts. Mario sent troops to Iraq to overthrow the Saddam regime, while the Soviet Union turned to seek economic exchanges among South Asian countries to improve its own shortcomings. To put it bluntly, It is better to use oil and heavy industrial products to earn foreign exchange, and then import light industrial and agricultural products from East Asian countries. Generally speaking, the method behind the five gangsters is that you cheat me, I cheat you, and then together they cheat small countries with no background.

After Krenz came to power, the first thing he did was visit French President Chirac. Everyone realized that this might be a slogan for Germany to declare war on France. When Germany was in trouble, France not only did not lend a hand to help, but instead wooed the United States and the Soviet Union behind the scenes to expand the power of its Mediterranean alliance. On this issue alone, I can't tolerate it anymore.

The Elysée Palace was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Everyone thought that Krenz was visiting Paris to punish the enemy. Some people even prepared to watch the show from the sidelines. The United States also hopes that the rise of "right-wing" forces can more effectively curb the expansion and development of the Soviet Union. Even if Krenz is a former Communist Party member, the White House can tolerate acquiescence.

Seeing Krenz's arrival, Chirac forced a smile on his lips, but he was thinking about other things in his heart. He thought that Germany would be in chaos for a while, but he didn't expect that the leader who had just taken office couldn't wait to show off his excellent political skills.

"We congratulate Chancellor Krenz on becoming the new federal chancellor."

Although France has sent a congratulatory message before, it still has to promote its proposition again on this occasion.

"Not the new Prime Minister of the Federation."

Krenz shook his head and emphasized calmly, "I represent the Chancellor of the German Republic."

The Federal Republic of Germany has become history. Krenz's first signal for Germany's drastic reforms was to change the country's name. Although some members of the National Assembly strongly opposed it, the bill was still passed with a weak number. On the one hand, the German Democratic Renaissance Party has a dominant position in the number of members of the National Assembly. According to principle, even the Speaker of the National Assembly is a person with military power. On the other hand, Berlin is full of swordsmen of the Democratic and Republican Army. Even if they refuse, they still have to consider the cold blade hanging around their neck.

Compared with 1933, history is always surprisingly similar.

"The reason why I chose to visit France first is because there are still some unresolved historical issues between France and the Federal Republic of Germany. Now I am here to resolve these historical issues."

Cold sweat broke out on Chirac's forehead. In fact, it was not afraid of Cole's accusation. The Federal Republic of Germany seemed powerful but was controlled by a group of harmless guys. And who was Krenz in front of him?

A monster who threatened to expel Muslims when he came to power, a man who even issued a decree to expel refugees immediately after his inauguration speech. His presence even scares the Arab world.

"It's not about the Mediterranean Union. In fact, I'm not interested in that thing of yours. If you think that creating a Mediterranean Union can defeat the EU, then I don't mind giving it a try. And the EU has not been dissolved yet. Why do you think the Mediterranean Union can be ambitious enough to replace the EU?”

In fact, Krenz did not want to dissolve the EU, but instead raised the threshold for joining the EU. The agreement he reached with Yanayev only refused to include Eastern and Central European countries into the organization. Now Germany has to spend its energy to support a group of lagging guys. Only a fool would do this. As long as Germany regains its strength, it will still include Eastern Europe into the EU's power bloc.

Chirac simply made a wrong bet. He overestimated France's own influence and underestimated Germany's strength.

"I am standing here today and do not intend to go into details on other matters. I just want to hear France's views on forming an alliance with Germany."

Franco-German alliance?

Chirac's view of Krenz is a bit strange. Aren't France and Germany an alliance that has always stood on the same front?

"The alliance I am talking about is further deepening cooperation. To be precise, it is cooperation between major European countries. It is no longer limited to a small circle."

France was the only country outside NATO and the Soviet Union, while Germany firmly took over the anti-Soviet banner and became the leader and main force of NATO's European power.

However, the resurgent German Democratic Renaissance Party, as an evolution of the original German Communist Party, has an unclear relationship with the Soviet Union. This is also the reason why Yanayev tried to form the Triple Alliance.

After the anti-Soviet White Left was kicked out of power, the rise of the pro-Soviet regime meant that Yanayev saw hope of forming a European alliance.

Krenz said, "France and Germany should further deepen their cooperative relations and jointly deal with possible threats. The current world situation is no longer an era of European wars. The trend of globalization means that our enemies do not only exist in this ancient land. Continent exists on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.”

After being cheated by the Soviet Union and the United States several times behind their backs, Germany finally realized where their problem lies. On the surface, the two sides maintain an alliance relationship, but in fact, the United States only regards the weakened Europe as a cannon fodder that can be sacrificed. Instigating the fight between Western Europe and the Soviet Union not only failed to gain the upper hand, but also lost the last line of public opinion.

Krenz's eyes were full of expectations. This was the biggest change since he came to power. There is no bottom line between capitalists, especially when it comes to issues of interests. Germany, which is more concerned about the Soviet Union than floods, still put down its posture in the face of economic interests and consider the issue of unity.

"Europe should unite to jointly deal with the threat from superpowers. Especially the threat of non-military means is more terrible than the direct military threat."

Chirac frowned. Isn't this a cliché? He asked casually.

"Preventing the Slavs from attacking? The Cold War is over, and there is no need for us to continue to dwell on this issue. France adheres to the Charles de Gaulle policy and will never participate in any confrontation between international organizations. So it is meaningless to negotiate on this topic. We will not return to NATO in a high-profile manner."

Krenz shook his head.

"No, I'm talking about the Americans." (To be continued.)
