Soviet Union 1991

"French President Chirac expressed close concern about the Soviet Union's plan to establish a ballistic missile base in Serbia. President Chirac said that France would strongly condemn and protest against the Soviet Union's actions. The French government spokesperson also stated that it would not rule out the use of force to prevent ballistic missiles. The construction of missile bases. The above is reported by AFP.”

"The German Chancellor stated at a previous press conference that the Soviet Union's actions in Serbia were destroying the peaceful environment in Eastern Europe and posing a major threat to the strategic environment of the entire Europe. Germany has currently reached a preliminary consensus with France, a non-NATO military member. , will not tolerate the Soviet Union's continued provocation of NATO allies in Eastern Europe, and will implement a new round of strikes and retaliatory measures against Serbia. The above is reported by the German Press Agency.

The two news releases were almost three hours apart. The unanimous "Joint Statement" between France and Germany conveyed a message to everyone that the two countries would unite to deal with threats from Eastern Europe. Shortly after the news was released, Croatian President Tudjman made a surprise visit to Germany, preparing to seek assistance from Germany.

"President Tudjman, I think you understand the recent developments in Serbia, right? The Soviet Union will deepen economic and military cooperation with Serbia, which is an attempt to turn Serbia into an outpost of the Soviet Union. I think this will be very important to Croatia. , is definitely not good news," Prime Minister Cole said. With a hint of threat, "As a breakaway country of Yugoslavia, Serbia dreams of re-merging you into the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and re-establishing a Yugoslav union. So once Serbia regains its military strength, it will unintentionally challenge you again under the instigation of the Soviet Union." Start a war and conflict.”

"I know." President Tudjman answered honestly, and showed an anxious look. "This is why I suddenly visited Germany. Once Croatia falls into the threat of war again. It must not be the same for Germany. What good news.”

"That's simply bad news." Prime Minister Kohl felt a lingering fear when he thought about dealing with the red threat from Eastern Europe again. He tried his best to get rid of those lingering red ghosts and nightmares.

"So we plan to establish a NATO military base in Croatia. We will deploy strategic bombers to deal with the Soviet threat to ensure the security of Eastern Europe. I think Croatia will not refuse such conditions, right? Of course as compensation, we will assist the Croatian Army with a batch of New tanks and fighter jets will help Croatia build a modern armed force as soon as possible.”

The conditions proposed by Cole did make Tudjman a little excited. A modern armed force is Tudjman's pursuit. The current Croatian Army has eight Guards brigades and three infantry brigades, but there are very few heavy weapons. In the original Yugoslav War, although Germany provided some of the former East German armored weapons to Croatia, it was in the face of the Serbian national armed forces supported by the Soviet Union. Just the poor guy whose record was improved by the tank troops.

"T72M tanks, T55 tanks, and a small number of M84 tanks. These are the remaining materials that have not been processed after the merger of East Germany. We will give them to you unconditionally. There are also 24 MiG-21 fighter jets and Mi-24 15 helicopters. As long as you agree to the conditions for the NATO joint force to deploy strategic bombers in Croatia, we will selflessly donate this batch of arms to the Croatian Army and your newly established Air Force.”

Anyway, the German Air Force did not have long-range strategic bombers, and Cole's approach was just to take advantage of the generosity of other NATO countries. Just to cover for their own purposes.

"I agree to your request, but I hope that NATO can keep its promise and help Croatia resist Serbia's attack." Tudjman nodded. Obviously this deal was a very good deal for Croatia, and of course he agreed to all President Kohl's requests, including the establishment of a NATO military base to counter Soviet actions in Serbia.

"So happy to cooperate, President Tudjman." Cole showed a smile of successful conspiracy. He, who was always thinking about scheming against the Soviet Union and its allies, finally got a chance on this issue. As for the life and death of Croatia, he will not care about it. It would be best if both France and the Soviet Union exhausted their strength, leaving him as the only powerful country in Europe.

"Happy cooperation, Prime Minister Kohl." Zituman also responded with a friendly smile.

News of the deployment of strategic bombers in Croatia to deal with the Soviet threat reached the ears of French Prime Minister Chirac. The president's face immediately darkened. This was completely different from the previous script. Is it not that France and Germany united to instigate the border conflict between Croatia and Serbia? Why did it become a plan to deploy strategic bombers in Croatia?

Chirac felt that he had been manipulated by Cole, and French Prime Minister Alain Juppé also believed that it was unwise for German Chancellor Cole to change the terms of the deal without authorization. It is hoped that the French President will reject the conditions proposed by the Germans.

"Everyone knows that the German military has never had such a thing as a strategic bomber. In other words, if strategic bombers are deployed in Croatia, the main tasks will still be borne by the British and French air forces. In other words, most of the final funds will still have to come from France. Or it can be divided into British finances. Cole’s ability to use the generosity of others to achieve his own ulterior strategic purposes is really wonderful, but does he regard the leaders of other countries as fools?”

President Chirac said angrily, "France needs to adopt a tough non-cooperative attitude and warn the Germans not to try to make small moves behind our backs. France does not have the patience to expose the conspiracy of its allies. Even if it is to deal with a common European threat, Germany should not Always make your own plans.”

Chirac did not believe that Germany would actively participate in the thankless act of deploying strategic bombers. At most, he would shout a few words from the sidelines and watch the French being disgraced by the Soviet Union.

"So we have to make Germany nervous once before he will realize the seriousness of the matter." After listening to President Chirac's complaints, Prime Minister Juppe said softly, "Hasn't Germany always supported Croatia? Then we will relax our attitude towards Serbia. sanctions, and even pretended to offer an olive branch to Serbia, which made German Chancellor Kohl nervous. Don’t forget that France is an important political force that can influence the situation in Europe. No matter whether it is a member of NATO or the Soviet Union, no one should think about it. Take advantage of France." (To be continued.)
