Soviet Union 1991

Third update

Cole has also been in a state of distress recently. He has to deal with conflicts in three aspects. The West German people are dissatisfied with the refugees entering Germany, the East German people are dissatisfied with the refugees sharing benefits with them, and the refugees believe that they have been discriminated against. dissatisfied. √In short, a lot of social problems are placed in front of Cole. He must not only appease the refugees, but also handle the affairs between East Germany and West Germany.

The last information submitted by the German FBI to Cole showed that recently more and more people in East Germany are dissatisfied with the actions of the authorities. In particular, people in the former democratic countries of East Germany believe that accepting refugees is harming the interests of East Germany, especially It was a response to Kohl's placement of most refugees within East Germany.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Local people began to clash with the refugees. Some were even soldiers of the People's Army of the former East Germany. They organized local people to storm the refugee camps. If it were not for the intervention of the Federal German police, East Germany would have been in chaos by now. The Soviet Union also chose to pay a state visit to Germany at this time with a very black sense of humor.

The atmosphere in the office of the Prime Minister's Office was very delicate. Herzog stood by the window, looking at the green ivy on the east and west walls, struggling with how to explain East Germany's problems to Kohl.

"The Soviet Union chose this time for a state visit not to engage in economic exchanges and cooperation with us. It is probably because they have spotted Poland's recent actions and want to join forces with Germany to deceive the other side." Cole decided to use the Soviet visit as a breakthrough point to confront Herzog. K said, "It is true that Poland's recent actions have caused dissatisfaction in several countries, not only Germany, but also France and the United Kingdom. I think it is time for Kwasniewski to have a clear understanding of who is right. Poland’s real problem.”

Herzog reminded Cole, "Kwasniewski? I remember this guy is much smoother than Constantinescu. He knows very well who can get more benefits from him. Let's think the other way around. I wonder if Poland’s recent actions have any hidden meaning?”

"Do you have any hidden meaning?" Cole frowned and threw the newspaper in front of Herzog. "You think Poland has a hidden meaning in targeting us like this?"

"Don't forget, the British Economist magazine once said of Kwasniewski that he maintains good relations with the richest countries in the world and skillfully handles delicate relations with Eastern European countries. In other words, To put it bluntly, this is an extremely cunning old fox. If we use refugees as a demand to force Eastern Europe, then Poland can also use refugees as a demand to threaten them. Force Germany. When Germany can no longer support it, Kwasniewski will immediately jump out to bargain with Germany and show that he is willing to accept a certain number of refugees, but the condition is that they must join the EU and NATO. If they do not join, , Poland will continue to watch the show from the sidelines. Will the overwhelmed Germany be able to maintain its previous arrogant attitude?

Herzog spread his hands and said to Cole, "This is Kwasniewski's trick. Otherwise, why would Austria desperately send refugees to Germany? Isn't there some ulterior purpose behind it?"

"I will make Poland look good!" Cole woke up and realized that the other party had actually set up such a trap waiting for him to jump. Once this precedent is broken, a series of Eastern European countries such as the Czech Republic and Slovakia will follow suit. In the end, the EU will just have a group of lagging behind.

What's more, now that the UK has jumped out of the EU framework, France has remained idle, and only Germany is the main force in accepting refugees.

"There is also the recent East German issue. Although this matter is not under our control, if the relationship between the East German people and the refugees is not properly handled, I am worried that it will cause social unrest. This month, there has been the seventh outbreak There were large-scale conflicts between East German residents and refugees, and there were even two occasions when East German residents attacked refugee camps in an organized and planned manner, resulting in more than a dozen refugees being injured, and the perpetrators were not yet caught.”

Herzog reminded Cole, "So with this visit of the Soviet General Secretary to Germany, it is time for them to withdraw all remaining military supplies from Germany. If East German residents or refugee organizations seize those arsenals, it will What are the consequences?"

Cole shook his head and said that Herzog was a bit unfounded. "These uneducated refugees still want to break out a war within Germany. Do they know how to drive tanks and fly fighter jets? Even if those T8O and Su-22 In front of these people, they can only use these heavy weapons The weapons were disposed of as scrap metal. Moreover, in response to previous conflicts, Germany had mobilized part of its army to implement martial law in East Germany. If the police could not control the situation, the army would intervene. Of course, this was just a precaution. I hope it will never happen. Don’t point the gun at the people.”

But Cole forgot one thing. A large number of East German residents were disbanded and understood the power of the people's army. These retired soldiers who were unable to find jobs after the great changes in 1989 angrily targeted them. Refugees competing for social benefits.

"So no matter what method is used, the Soviet Union must withdraw all its soldiers from Germany within these two years, otherwise we will take compulsory deportation measures."

Cole stared at the location of the Soviet garrison marked on the map, his patience exhausted. If he could wait slowly for the Soviet Union to withdraw from East Germany before, now he has lost patience. The concentration of Arabs now concentrated in East German refugee camps had begun to destabilize society.

Just when the atmosphere in the room became silent, the Prime Minister's assistant came in to inform Kohl, "General Secretary Yanayev's special plane has arrived at Berlin International Airport, and the Foreign Minister is now receiving the Soviet General Secretary at the airport."

"Okay." Kohl stood up, straightened his collar, and said to Herzog, "Let's stop this meeting, President Herzog. You still need to go to the entrance of the main building lobby to receive the Soviet delegation."

"But the person who really negotiated with him is you, Chancellor Kohl." Herzog patted Kohl on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You must listen to my advice. I have a hunch that there may really be an accident in the eastern region. Recently, we must keep an eye on East Germany. The European Union... is already a little shaky. Even we don't know how long it can last."

"Don't worry, President Herzog." Kohl gave him a thumbs up and said to him, "As long as I am here, there will be no chaos in eastern Germany."

Looking at Kohl's receding back, Herzog said to himself, "I hope so..." (To be continued.)8
