Soviet Union 1991

Fourth update

"Give up Berlin? This is absolutely impossible. We have persisted for so long just to take this city. Now you ask me to give up Berlin, which is tantamount to asking the German Democratic Republic Army to give up everything they have done before. We absolutely cannot accept it. Even if the East German Democratic Republic Army dies, they must die on the way to the Chancellery in Berlin. Soldiers fight all officers, officers fight all generals. Until we plant our flag on the Chancellery, which symbolizes oppression. The German people will never lose!"

Vladimir's statement that the German Democratic Republic Army gave up Berlin was like a fuse, instantly igniting the silent conference room. Everyone was whispering in private, discussing this not-so-bad bad news. Without exception, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was no need to continue making meaningless sacrifices.

"Asking you to give up Berlin now does not mean you should give up fighting. The German Democratic Republic must take Berlin, no matter what the cost. But is there any point in continuing the attack now?" Vladimir rebuked, "The Democratic Republic has suffered heavy losses, we need to regroup and continue the attack!"

"But after sitting at the negotiation table, what chance do we have to take back Berlin?" Jonishkis sneered, "And we don't have any bargaining chips to take back Berlin!"

"Then at least you should listen to the conditions we put forward before deciding whether to continue to be stubborn or decide to withdraw! The decision is not in my hands, Colonel Jonishkis, but in your hands."

Vladimir couldn't stand the other party's stubbornness, and directly spoke out the secret plan of the Kremlin, "First, your German Democratic Renaissance Party will take the lead in proposing peace talks, which will make the Federal German government mistakenly believe that your German Democratic Renaissance Party has given up the idea of ​​taking Berlin under the pressure of the US Army and is ready to solve the problem at the negotiation table. In this way, the garrison stationed in Berlin will naturally relax its vigilance, and you let the soldiers on the Eastern Front pretend to evacuate the city of Berlin to express their desire for peace talks. "Then the Soviet peacekeeping force will concentrate all its armored forces in Leipzig and Schwerin. Schwerin is the front line of attacking Hamburg, and Leipzig is the front line of attacking Erfurt. At that time, the Americans will think that East Germany has given up the idea of ​​attacking Berlin and will instead take over Thuringia and Hamburg. Moreover, we will make a fake attack, and the United States will definitely transfer troops to these two places to strengthen defense. This will ease the large number of US troops stationed in Berlin. This is the second condition we have created for you. " "In the end, it was originally planned to The German Democratic Republic Army evacuated Berlin to launch a secret counterattack. With the support of Soviet fighters, tanks and armored vehicles, they have every hope of reoccupying Berlin when the Federal Armed Forces are caught off guard. Therefore, asking you to evacuate Berlin now is just to create a better opportunity for future counterattacks. I have made it so clear. What to do next, Colonel Jonishkis, you can decide. "

Vladimir's move completely cut off the possibility of the German Democratic Renaissance Party running into the arms of the Americans, and completely twisted the two sides into grasshoppers on a line, advancing and retreating together. This is also a pledge of allegiance given by the Soviet Union to the Democratic Renaissance Party, becoming a pro-Soviet force, or becoming an enemy to be jointly eliminated by the United States and the Soviet Union.

Colonel Jonishkis held the microphone and remained silent. He was still hesitating whether to continue the attack or postpone the peace talks.

Colonel Lestner patted Jonishkis on the shoulder and whispered, "If we follow the Soviet method, it will be a wise move. Our morale is low now. If we continue to fight, I am worried that Berlin will become the turning point for the East German People's Army to decline. Everything we do is not for a flash in the pan, but for the liberation of East Germany, right?"

Colonel Lestner's words are like the weights slowly added to Jonishkis, breaking the opponent's last psychological defense line bit by bit.

"Colonel Jonishkis, stop the attack. The Seventh Revenge Armored Division is almost exhausted on the Eastern Front. We don't have enough air fire cover. It's not easy for them to hold on until now. There is no need to continue to make unnecessary sacrifices." Leschner also stood on the side of the opposition camp, which made Colonel Jonishkis feel very helpless.

All the generals were against his willful plan, and in the end Colonel Jonishkis had no choice but to agree to their request. If this continues, the morale of the army will probably be shaken.

"Okay, I agree to the Soviet Union's request, but East Germany also has a condition." Colonel Jonishkis replied word by word, "At that time, no matter what, the Soviet Union must assist the German Democratic Republic Army to capture Berlin, no matter what the cost." After the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic Army reached an agreement, the 8th Motorized Infantry Division, the 9th Armored Division, the 7th Armored Division and the 11th Motorized Infantry Division stationed on the temporary ceasefire line all received a secret evacuation signal at the same time. They asked to leave the city of Berlin as quickly as possible and retreat to the suburbs to hide "secretly". The order issued by the combat command was to retreat temporarily and wait for the right time. The neighborhood that was still heavily guarded an hour ago was evacuated after a few minutes, and the tanks and patrolling soldiers disappeared almost in an instant. Even some Berlin residents have not yet understood what happened, and the streets are already empty.

The heavily guarded frontline combat command room also became unusually quiet, with only the steel and concrete exposed by the collapsed buildings like a rotten skeleton, exposed to the air. The walls full of bullet holes and the streets covered with rubble and gravel, all of which told everyone that an extremely tragic war had been fought here before.

The quiet streets of Berlin seemed to only hear the sound of the wind passing through the ruins.

The huge armored torrent faded away silently, leaving only the Federal German soldiers standing there, still not recovering from the shock.

They thought they had won, hugged and cheered to celebrate. Some even half-knelt on the ground, thanking Jesus for his mercy.

But the Federal Armed Forces did not notice that the troops who were leaving did not lose miserably, and they still maintained a high fighting spirit.

They left the war zone, but did not leave Berlin. The steel behemoth turned around, looked at the crowd behind him, and remained silent.

This steel torrent was waiting, waiting for the next war horn to sound. Just like the last sentence of the order, it expressed the unwillingness of Jonishkis and the entire team.

"I swear, when the armored division counterattacks, the entire city of Berlin will be annihilated!" (To be continued.)8
