Soviet Union 1991

A shocking news spread from Berlin to the White House, shocking the top US government officials like a bolt from the blue.

The German ambassador to Washington urgently asked for a meeting, and he revealed to Mario the "atrocities" that the Soviet Union was going to commit.

"The Soviet Union is preparing to unite with Germany to divide Eastern Europe. This secret document is a record of the verbal agreement between the two parties. Prime Minister Krenz said that it would be more beneficial to hand him over to the United States than to keep him in his own hands. Oh, by the way, Yanayev also mentioned that if he failed, he would take military measures to invade Eastern European countries. The German-Soviet-French Alliance solved his worries, and he could openly expand the Soviet Union's sphere of influence."

The last sentence was exaggerated by Krenz himself, in order to let Mario understand the seriousness of the matter. In this way, the strategic annexation that was originally a non-war situation turned into an invasion problem in the mouth of Germany in the blink of an eye. In this way, the United States had no reason not to pay attention.

Mario finally realized that investing in the German Democratic Renaissance Party was the most correct thing he had done. Compared with other people who had invested countless funds but lost all their money before, at least Germany dug a fire pit for the Soviet Union.

The news about Yanaev's attempt to divide Eastern Europe with Germany was sent to the oak table in the White House presidential office through the German Embassy in the United States. President Mario held the thin paper, but felt it was heavy.

The newly appointed East German ambassador earnestly told the other party, "Another piece of intelligence was secretly collected by Prime Minister Krenz. There is direct evidence that Yanaev is preparing to launch a wave of offensives in Eastern Europe. First, he instigated Germany to wantonly annex Central Europe, and then expanded his sphere of influence to Eastern Europe. We believe that this conspiracy must be stopped to prevent the evil empire from expanding its sphere of influence to the entire Eastern Europe."

The subtext is that the task of maintaining peace in Europe is to prevent the conspiracy from happening by the just and free America.

After a long wait, Yanaev finally made a move. He gave President Mario a surprise right from the start. He was ambitious to stir up the muddy waters in Europe and let his sphere of influence re-enter Eastern Europe. Once this conspiracy succeeds, the situation in Eastern Europe will change dramatically again.

Germany has already had a coup, and Mario does not want to see another thrilling change in Eastern Europe.

Fortunately, Germany is on his side, so the White House can quickly intercept Yanaev's plan and respond immediately.

The German Chancellor, who had kept a hand, conveyed his position to President Mario. He was willing to provide the other party with the Soviet Union's every move, but Germany would never directly join the chaos in Eastern Europe. The subtext was that how Eastern Europe changed was just a war between you and the Soviet Union, and Germany must not be involved. They only needed to be a bystander and reap the benefits.

Anyway, the United States was the most nervous to see the Soviet Union grow, and it would definitely find ways to unite Eastern European countries to stop Yanaev's conspiracy. Anyway, whoever wins or loses, it is a victory for Germany, and they don't need to worry about being defeated in this war. Even Mario and Yanaev made the same mistake. They thought they could use Germany to defeat the other side, but they didn't expect to be used by the other side in turn.

Krenz is well aware of the risks of the policy of driving away the tigers and chasing away the wolves, but Germany has to take risks to do certain things if it wants to turn the tables.

He and Yanayev are both crazy gamblers, the kind who bet on the fate of the country.

"The United States and the Soviet Union are fighting each other, and it is the most correct for us to hide far away and control the situation. Before, the Federal Republic of Germany always wanted to be the first bird in Europe, but it didn't know that it had become a tool for the Americans to incite Europe to isolate the Soviet Union. The end of being a tool is tragic, and I will never allow Germany to become a tool of the Americans again."

Krenz needs to change Germany's political diplomacy, which is more radical than France's independent view based on its own interests. Because Germany wants to incite a new round of confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, and stay out of the matter and control everything.

Europe is their Europe, and they don't need the barbarians of the frozen continent and the country folk of the pioneers to direct them on how to develop.

But if they are not careful, Germany will become the target of public criticism.

After receiving the intelligence, President Mario asked everyone to leave the office and close the door. Only National Security Advisor Sandy Berger was left. He needed to fully consult the opinions of the advisors and decide on the next policy towards the Soviet Union.

In President Mario's piercing eyes, Berger smelled something unusual.

"This is an opportunity, Sandy. If we can use the crisis to form an Eastern European alliance to resist the Soviet Union, and send NATO troops to Eastern European countries to garrison and establish an anti-missile system, we will be able to build a wall that will firmly trap the other side. Yanayev's plan to move westward will be completely ineffective. He doesn't want to erode the EU step by step. He has struggled for so many years as the general secretary and has only barely tied on the Eastern European issue. It is estimated that he is close to retirement and now he can't bear it anymore."

President Mario's idea was not untried in the Bush era, but the huge differences between countries at that time led to the plan being eventually abandoned. Now the old things are brought up again because there is a favorable external environment for the United States, a common enemy, and a common threat.

Once this steel fence is built for the polar bear, the United States and its European allies will be able to rest easy in the next few years.

Consultant Berger was not very optimistic about the prospects. He pointed out several loopholes in the plan. "It is not impossible to form an Eastern European alliance to resist the Soviet Union's evil plan, but it is still difficult to unite the scattered sand. After all, there are still conflicts between Romania and Bulgaria." The controversy surrounding Nan Dobro. It is not so easy to unite old and new grudges. As for Finland, the Nordic people in Scandinavia are not willing to participate in these things. As for Turkey, they are still resentful of the previous betrayal of the United States. "It's not easy to bring him in."

"It's not a big problem..."

President Mario raised his head, his small eyes behind the thick lenses showed the cold look unique to politicians, "Today's Eastern European countries basically fear the Soviet Union more than they cooperate with the Soviet Union. They maintain a friendly attitude on the surface, but they are not strengthening their own power behind the scenes. Military power? We can distort the Soviet plan and spread it to the Eastern European countries. There is no reason why they will not unite in the face of a common enemy. It is precisely because of this that we have the opportunity to form an Eastern European alliance. "

As long as NATO goes with the flow and uses all possible means to station troops in Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union will be locked within its borders.

Unable to move.

Perhaps Yanayev never expected that Krenz would betray himself at the critical moment.

Then he said in a joking tone, "Krenz is exactly a '*' soldier, and he is not willing to betray his former comrades and supporters behind the scenes. If Yanayev knew about it, he would probably send the KGB to assassinate him in the apartment." Well. But being able to do this is considered a bold move for the United States. He would take action to stop the Soviet Union's expansion plan, but he stayed out of it and watched with cold eyes. This tightrope walk was no less thrilling than the one who put his hand on the nuclear weapons suitcase to negotiate with us. He did not expect that Yanayev also made a miscalculation. At that time, I didn’t predict that my partner turned out to be a white-eyed wolf.”

President Mario took a deep breath. At least Krenz was right. He really had nothing to do with Germany now because there were more important things waiting for him to complete.

"After limiting the expansion of the Soviet Union, Germany will be the next target. The Germans' mistake was that they did not realize that cleverness could not save them, but directly harm them. Even if the United States did not take action this time, it will "It's the Germans who are not guaranteed to be unlucky."

The sense of trust between Germany and the United States became shaky after the German Democratic Ennahda Party came to power, because they wanted to cheer up the whole of Germany and were more lethal than East Germany, which was harmless to humans and animals. His tone was dark and sharp, even able to penetrate Berger's thoughts.

No one Mario has to deal with can escape his grasp.

"It is enough to have a 'comrade of steel'. I don't want a 'mustache' to appear in Europe again, so Krenz should be restricted. If it cannot be restricted, it will be a replica of the Suez Canal incident." (To be continued.)
