Soviet Union 1991

"During the talks held at the Reichstag yesterday, neither East Germany nor West Germany could reach an effective agreement, and the peace process in Germany will be delayed. According to US Secretary of State Madeleine who participated in the peace talks, the German Democratic Ennahda Party There is a big dispute between the two parties and the demands made by the German federal government. Both sides are trying to add the three northeastern states of Germany to their own territory. The leader of the German Democratic Ennahda Party Jonischkis emphasized that there is a big dispute between the two parties. There are big differences and no consensus has been reached yet.”

This news has cast a haze over everyone's mind. The delay in peace negotiations means the continuation of the war. It seems that there is still some way to go before the war ends.

The breakdown of the peace talks means that the two sides are shrouded in the cloud of war. Even President Mario is always paying attention to the situation in Germany. At this time, East Germany is like a powder keg that may explode at any time, waiting for a certain gunshot. Fire.

Yanayev stood in front of the TV, quietly watching Madeleine's somewhat frustrated and annoyed expression during the Berlin Conference. Primakov had already called Yanayev before and reported generally on the situation in Berlin.

"As we expected, the negotiations have failed. Our infantry fighting vehicles and tanks to support East Germany have also arrived, and now we are left with the American defenders stationed in Berlin. As long as we can distract them as much as possible, we will It would create an opportunity for East Germany to counterattack Berlin."

Misleading intelligence has always been a specialty of the German Democratic Republic. They know how to allow the United States to detect a large amount of erroneous intelligence, causing certain interference in the opponent's judgment of the war situation.

The Soviet Union also needs to continue to spread false intelligence, such as moving air forces to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Asia or into Saxony, leaving Brandenburg as a weakly defended vacuum zone. When the net is cast down, the fish will naturally take the bait.

Through observations in recent days, the U.S. military has received a large amount of reconnaissance intelligence. According to the intelligence, Soviet fighter jets are currently deployed in Schwerin and Dresden. Only a small number of Su-34s are deployed at the Zuo Airport near Berlin. bomber. Berlin, which the German Democratic Republic Army had desperately wanted to capture, has now disappeared. The armored divisions previously responsible for the offensive are gradually moving away from Schwerin and Dresden. They are concentrating their forces on the northern and southern fronts. line, it seems that the DDR has lost interest in Berlin.

The drones flying silently over East Germany brought back a lot of information that was difficult to distinguish between true and false, including the movements of East German troops and the deployment of Soviet naval infantry brigades and airborne troops.

Through the analysis of this intelligence, the US military informed the German Federal Ministry of Defense that the German Democratic Republic Army may now plan to attack the Federal Republic of Germany simultaneously in the direction of Dresden or Schwerin. Since they cannot capture Berlin, they will naturally want to capture more state capitals to make up for East Germany's strategic losses. Moreover, as a "peacekeeping force", the Soviet Union was only willing to provide equipment support and seemed unwilling to allow ground troops to participate in this comprehensive operation.

After receiving the news, the U.S. Strategic Command decided to bypass the top brass of the federal government and communicate directly with the German Minister of Defense on the phone. The United States needed to gain the right to operate on German soil. But Cole was only willing to let them be stationed within the confines of Berlin.

"Minister Scharpin, their goal is to capture the remaining cities and then put political pressure on the Federal German government. The intelligence obtained from our reconnaissance planes can show that after being supplemented by Soviet logistics, the current Democratic Republic Army has With its stronger military strength, the Federal Government of Germany, which has weak ground armor, can completely occupy the federal states through push-back." Minister Perry directly reported this unfortunate news to the German Minister of Defense at the U.S. Strategic Command. Although this news sounds a bit sad.

"And what's even worse now is that the Bundeswehr has a serious shortage of tanks, right? Even if the entire U.S. 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment is put on the battlefield, it can only barely save the Bundeswehr."

This time Perry told the truth. Although the United States invested an armored cavalry regiment, it would be of no use if it fought on multiple fronts.

Minister Scharpin was silent. Cole had always emphasized that the US military could not intervene in this internal dispute in Germany, but now it seems that if the US military does not intervene, the Bundeswehr is no match for the German Democratic Republic. You may be taken away by the opponent's steel torrent before even deploying.

Germany's dire situation created contradictions and conflicts with Cole's orders.

"Now only the cooperation of both of us can save Germany. Minister Scharpin, you don't want to see the Bundeswehr lose completely. After all, in this Battle of Berlin, the opponent's attack was stopped after the order to fight to the death was issued. If there is another all-out war, the ending may be completely rewritten.”

"Even the Bundeswehr has noticed that you are no match for the Soviet armored forces." Minister Perry's serious words sounded more like mockery.

"So what do you want to do?" Scharpin asked. He didn't believe that the other party was just teasing him by saying so much.

"Cooperation, the Federal Armed Forces can only cooperate with the US military and give full play to their respective advantages. The support of the US armored forces can alleviate the shortage of some tanks, and we also have powerful artillery support. Although the German Air Force has suffered some losses, it still retains most of its combat effectiveness, which is just right for air cover strikes in joint operations."

The intimidation of the US Department of Defense was very successful. The German Ministry of Defense, which was already in a state of panic, finally had to agree to the joint action of the US military. In this way, the armored cavalry regiment originally concentrated in the Berlin area was quickly transferred to Erfurt and Hamburg for garrison. The US military predicted that East Germany was very likely to abandon the central route combat plan, but to launch attacks on the north and south lines at the same time, forming a pincer attack and rushing towards the Federal Republic of Germany.

Therefore, the US military's M1A1 should not continue to be consumed in Berlin, but should be transferred to other areas for deployment.

The German Democratic Renaissance Party made a series of pre-war preparations for the next offensive, such as suddenly sending a large number of intelligence reconnaissance teams to investigate the movements of the Federal Armed Forces. Or suddenly declare the states of Pomerania and Saxony to be on emergency alert, anyway, let the Federal Armed Forces think that East Germany is preparing to carry out combat plans here.

Their first step is to provoke the Federal Armed Forces on the border. For example, Schwerin conducted a war exercise, and the German Democratic Republic even pulled artillery fire to the border of Pomerania.

The German Democratic Republic issued an order to the Federal Armed Forces stationed on the border, saying that some of them were separated during the exercise and hoped that the troops could enter Hamburg for search. The Federal Armed Forces would definitely not believe such nonsense and decisively rejected the search and rescue mission. But it deepened their inner doubts.

It's just that they are more and more convinced that the East German Democratic Republic is very likely to attack from the south and north.

Scharping also quickly transferred the remaining troops from Berlin to station in Hamburg and Erfurt to prevent the opponent's sudden attack.

However, the Federal Armed Forces had not yet realized that the tanks that had been transferred out of the Berlin area in broad daylight had returned to Berlin secretly. After diverting the main force of the German-American coalition forces, they were making final preparations.

The war was about to break out.

Their ultimate goal was to liberate Berlin.

"The plan to divert the US military was successful. Their armored forces began to advance in the two directions we predicted, including the Fifth Artillery Fire Hell Field Squadron."

After hearing this intelligence, Colonel Jonishkis smiled with a conspiracy.

The first step of the East German plan finally worked. By diverting the US military, they had hope of launching a surprise attack.

"Prepare to start the next plan. We must make the Americans completely believe that East Germany is no longer interested in Berlin. Their targets are Hamburg and Erfurt. The troops deployed near Berlin should be well hidden and prepared. We still have a surprise attack to launch."

In the command post of Selo, Jonishkis looked in the direction of Berlin, his tone somewhat uncontrollably excited. The telegram in his hand had been crumpled, and even his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

"Berlin, we are back."
