Soviet Union 1991

First update

In order to create conflicts between the people of eastern Germany and the federal government of Germany, the People's Armed Forces of the former East Germany dug up past events from their adulthood when the two Germanys merged in 1989. The KGB bribed the editors-in-chief of several large newspapers in the five eastern German states and asked them to publish anti-German federal propaganda that had been prepared by the Soviet Propaganda Department in their newspapers.

It mainly focuses on the history of the East German People's Army, and the title of the article is also very sensational, "How We Fell from People's Heroes to Butchers."

The East German People's Armed Forces must have enough bargaining chips if they want to negotiate with the German government. The East German People's Armed Forces need a sufficient mass base. At this time, signs of anti-refugees and violence in the five eastern states have become more and more intense. Next, they only need to Act as a driving force behind the scenes and add fuel to the fire once, and the East German People's Army will be established again with the support of the masses.

The article cited a very classic case, the 1989 East German People's Army shooting and killing of Berlin residents crossing the border. With the collapse of East Germany, the barbed wire and concrete walls that originally straddled and divided Berlin were torn down, but orders from top military officials at the time were to shoot any defectors who tried to cross the Berlin Wall to reach West Berlin. Later, during the judge's trial, the sentence "preserving personal integrity to avoid indiscriminate killing of innocent people is the glory of human rights and freedom" became the main theme of the article's criticism.

The answer given by the newspaper was absurd, nakedly absurd.

"Because East Germany has fallen, no matter how the despicable and shameless Federal Republic of Germany blames a passing regime, no one will say that he is spreading rumors. On the contrary, the people will think that this is the original truth. However, the reality is like World War II This is how German generals wrote their memoirs. All the glory belongs to the Wehrmacht, and the defeat and massacres are all the fault of the SS.”

"This is the most disgusting motto I have ever heard. A judge, a judge who regards the law as the highest criterion, would actually say such ridiculous words. If you are an ordinary person, it is understandable to think so. But what reason does a judge have to be like this? Do? As for human nature, according to this theory, all soldiers who have been on the battlefield should be judged. Isn’t it shameful to say this from the moral high ground? It is the duty of soldiers to carry out orders when the country falls. Since it is a treasonable crime to stop them by shooting if you don’t listen to the warning, yes, that’s right. Socialism is a loser, so no matter how much you slander us, no one will stand up and shout for us.”

But there is one thing I want everyone to remember, a scandal about the free world.

The U.S. Army carried out genocide when they occupied the Philippines, ordering the execution of all people over the age of 10 and able to bear arms, and throwing thousands of people into concentration camps. No one went to trial.

During the Laogenli Village Massacre in the Korean War, more than 400 civilians were exterminated. At that time, Captain Ernest Medina became the only person to face criminal charges. He was sent to a military court for trial but was later acquitted.

The U.S. military used napalm bombs and Agent Orange to kill and injure a large number of innocent Vietnamese civilians during the Vietnam War, and no one went to trial.

This is the most disgusting story I have ever heard, or the most disgusting fact. The executioner described the troops defending the people as dirty and bloody butchers, but forgot his identity as a massacre.

After the report appeared, it caused an uproar throughout Germany. The United States originally presented itself to the world with its hypocritical face of freedom, equality, and fraternity. Especially after the Soviet propaganda machine became increasingly rigid in the 1970s and 1980s, the United States seemed to have become the main force maintaining world order. the incarnation of the person.

Now, exposing all the Americans’ old background is nothing more than building momentum for the East German People’s Armed Forces to fight for the people. The spark that had been prepared for a long time was ignited and exploded at this moment, forming a prairie fire. In addition, the East German People's Armed Forces have always been on the front line in the conflict, so the image of the East German People's Army as executioners among the people in the past has also been greatly changed.

Kohl almost threw the entire newspaper into the trash can, describing the German Chancellor as the executioner of oppression of East German democracy, an authoritarian tyrant, and a brick-and-mortar man who opposed East German demonstrations. Almost all the adjectives used to slander the Soviet Union were doubled and returned to the other side.

Although West Germany has also tried to attribute these actions to the rise of far-right forces and even the resurrection of Nazism, it has not achieved good results. After all, what those retired East German soldiers did is before everyone. They are the guardians of the conscience of the East German people, not the embodiment of evil that destroys Germany.

One can imagine Kohl's irritation, but the more East Germany fought for the right to have equal dialogue with the federal government, the more Kohl suppressed their freedom.

He shouted angrily at the Berlin police chief on the other end of the phone, "I don't care who is standing in front of you, but if I see anyone on the streets of eastern German cities and Berlin again, even a person holding a sign to promote All democratic and free people will be thrown into prison.”

"But Chancellor Kohl." The German Interior Minister on the other end of the phone said with some embarrassment, "After all, they are still German residents. If they force East Germany in this way, I am worried that unnecessary trouble will be caused."

He did not explain to Kohl that East Germany was now almost on the brink of crisis. Only Kohl, who was blinded by the news media, did not realize the seriousness of the situation. Moreover, the German media seems to have intentionally or unintentionally downplayed the fierce conflicts between East German residents and refugees.

"I don't need to care about the feelings of the people. The whole of Germany knows that this is a group of unrepentant socialist radical madmen in the former East Germany who are inciting the masses to carry out violent activities. As long as they are arrested and brought to justice, things will calm down. And I think this group of people Also responsible for massacres and arson in refugee camps!”

Perhaps even Cole has forgotten that it was precisely because he was condoning refugees that led to the magnificent resistance throughout East Germany.

However, Cole did not want to fundamentally solve the problem, but simply attributed everything to the destruction of socialists. Cole believed that martial law should be imposed on the five eastern states until all those who tried to plan riots were arrested and brought to justice. Naturally, no one dared to oppose his approach.

An authorization statement came out of Kohl's office. In response to the recent social unrest in Germany, Kohl declared martial law. Arrest all the troublemakers and East German residents and put an end to this farce.

Perhaps Cole would not have thought that his authorization order would become the final fuse that ignited public anger.
