Soviet Union 1991

Fourth update

The air force airports in Dresden and Schwerin entered the highest state of alert. The Su-34 bomber formation and the MiG-29 fighter squadron on the apron were on standby 24 hours a day. The machine guns and missiles under the slung were fully loaded and the fuel was full, ready to take off at any time. Once the German Democratic Republic Army began to attack Berlin, they would fully support the 7th Armored Division and provide fire cover for the attacking forces.

A steady stream of T72 and T80 tanks drove out of the hiding bunkers. The Soviet Union built a large number of armored vehicle bunkers in East Germany in the past because it was to hide part of the armored forces. And now, it just provides a place for the German Democratic Republic Army to hide and accumulate strength for the final counterattack.

Not only in Berlin, but also in the Kremlin and Lubyanka, the atmosphere is dull and palpitating. There are constant messages coming back from the KGB, including the mobilization of troops in Bernau, Oranienburg, Fürstenwalde and Schulzendorf. Yanayev sees everything.

The lights in the Kremlin office were a little dim. Yanayev sat on the sofa, and the shadow outlined a vague outline of his body. In the darkness, only heavy breathing and the smell of cigarettes lingering in the office could be heard.

When he put out the fifth cigarette butt, he finally spoke out of silence. His voice was still flat, as if he was telling something insignificant. "German history will be rewritten at this moment. The United States has already prepared the identity of a predator. The peace talks between the two Germanys are not the final result that Mario wants to see. At least Germany is only injured in the fur now, and has not really hurt its bones."

The identity of a predator that Yanayev mentioned is of course the impact on German finance. Long-term war will lead to a devastating blow to the economy and cause immeasurable damage to financial investment. Once Europe, as a major economy in the world, declines, the beneficiaries will inevitably be the remaining few "financial empires" trying to divide the financial market. The White House, which is sharpening its knife, must be one of them, and the Soviet Union, which urgently needs to use German finance to support domestic economic construction, is also one of them.

"Once Berlin is captured, it will inevitably open a gap in Pandora's box. The Federal Armed Forces will not suffer this loss, and they will also counterattack." Yanaev said with a wry smile, "The capture of Berlin is not the end, but the beginning of the war in Germany."

Germany's peace and stability are not in the hands of Kohl or Jonishkis, but in the hands of the United States and the Soviet Union. It is entirely possible to use the status of permanent members to suppress this turmoil.

Vladimir said to Yanaev, "But we all don't want this turmoil to end so quickly, right?"

"Yes." The current situation in Germany is what Yanaev most wants to see. With the turbulent civil unrest, the Soviet Union has a legitimate reason to permanently station troops in East Germany. Although Yanaev gave up most of his interests, he knew very well that these interests were just a mirage before the war ended. It is better to truly maintain the status of the German Democratic Renaissance Party and control Germany in a state of long-term turmoil.

"Unless one day, the Federal Republic of Germany is forced to surrender, or the German Democratic Renaissance Party is tired of the war, then they will sit down at the negotiating table to discuss the issue. Before that, the war will never stop."

The war will never stop, this is the final result that Yanayev wants to see in the Berlin operation.

The city of Berlin is returning to its previous state, and the curfew has ended. The barriers and barbed wire on the streets have all been evacuated, and some armored vehicles are still under martial law in the previous war zone. Here you can still see the traces left over from the previous war. The walls with big holes smashed by shells, the walls favored by 62mm machine guns are left with beehive-like bullet holes, and the asphalt roads smashed by rocket launchers, leaving only a hemispherical deep pit. Everything is reminding the fierceness of the war.

But now everything in the city has returned to peace. Kohl announced the post-war reconstruction work, and the prosperity here will soon return. General Henry, who is in charge of garrisoning Berlin, is also packing up his office and preparing to evacuate from here. The German Democratic Republic Army has evacuated, and there is no need for him to stay here.

Henry picked up a piece of paper with scribbled patterns and some red markings on it. He was a little curious to find that it was the deployment map of the East German armored unit bunkers.

Just as he was about to throw the sketch into the trash can, he seemed to notice something and quickly picked up the pattern again. He looked at it carefully several times. Suddenly, he thought of something and took a breath, realizing that something might happen.

There are a large number of armored unit bunkers between Bernau, Fürstenwalde and Schulzendorf. The number of these secret bunkers buried deep under the hills and mountains is beyond Henry's imagination.

These were secrets before the dissolution of East Germany, and many secrets were rediscovered after liberation. The federal government had long forgotten these abandoned bunkers, but the East Germans were very likely to reuse them.

Henry actually didn't think of these open secrets at the critical moment.

This can also explain why the armored forces of the German Democratic Republic were able to "disappear" from the map so quickly and go to Schwerin and Dresden. In fact, most of the armored forces never left the area around Berlin. They had been accumulating strength for a counterattack.

Thinking of this, Henry felt like a light on his back. After receiving support from the Soviet "peacekeeping forces", perhaps the number of armored forces around Berlin has exceeded the number during the initial attack, and a real "steel torrent" may even be built. It’s just that neither the Bundeswehr nor the United States knew anything about it. Coupled with the number of Soviet air forces stationed in Germany, East Germany had an absolute advantage in terms of quality and quantity.

A terrible guess.

But it also explains why all the Berlin troops were disbanded in just a few days.

Henry quickly picked up the phone. He wanted to inform Minister of Defense Scharpin of his terrible conjecture. Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance of winning, it would be a nightmare for the Federal Republic of Germany.

Before his fingers touched the button, the sudden burst of fire outside the window caught Henry off guard and fell to the ground. The hot air waves shattered the glass, covering him entirely.

Henry held on to the table, stood up with a grin on his face, and looked out. A rocket hit the courtyard of the headquarters, blowing up a huge crater. All the surrounding cars were overturned and fell to the ground. The guards in the courtyard were also affected by the explosion and fell to the ground in pain. Groaning, the situation was worse than Henry hiding indoors.

Henry briefly bandaged his arm that was scratched by glass fragments, and stuck his head out of the window, just in time to see rockets flying across the sky towards Berlin like a meteor shower. One of the rockets hit the roof of a nearby building, causing smoke and debris from the explosion to hit the courtyard.

After the explosion, only half of the building remained.

Fear was imprinted on everyone's hearts, and Henry finally realized that a tragic battle was about to break out in Berlin. Compared to previous battles, it was even worse.

At this time, someone hurried into the office and anxiously reported the bad situation to Henry.

"No, Berlin has suffered devastating blows all around. The enemy's attack is too fierce. Now Berlin needs support everywhere! General Henry, please give the order."

Henry looked back at him, and instead of giving him a proper reply, he felt deep despair. There are still enough garrison troops in Berlin now to slow down the enemy's attack. If everything is really as he thought, then the armored forces attacking Berlin now must be stronger than in the battle five days ago.

The only thing the Bundeswehr can do is to slow down the opponent's attack even if it means fighting to the death.

Continuous explosions and rising fireballs devastated the entire eastern part of Berlin.

The overwhelming rocket fire is a sign of the prelude to war. Heralding the return of Germany's war machine. The Iron Cross Eagle spread its wings of steel, casting the shadow of war over Berlin again.

Rammstein is ready to return to Berlin. (To be continued.)
