Chapter 848: Unreliable Revolutionary Friendship
Partition of Eastern Europe?
This idea is indeed very crazy, not to mention how to distribute spheres of influence, the mere four words of dividing Europe are already contrary to the original trend of great unification, after all, being the leader of Europe is a wish that Germany has wanted to realize for thousands of years.

The resumption of the situation of secession was nothing more than an attempt by the Soviet Union to regain its strategic disadvantage. The current polar bear is surrounded on all sides, and the strategic environment is treacherous. Although attempts were made to prop up pro-Russian regimes to come to power, and to a lesser extent, on the whole, if not for the attempts to make changes, the Soviet Union remained in a state of suppression for the next ten or twenty years.
To be freed from the prison of politics, Yanayev had to see the turmoil in Eastern Europe.
If you mess up, you will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
"Military aggression is absolutely impossible, and the countries of Eastern Europe, except for the unstable Romania that has suffered political looting, are basically stable and excessively developed, and since tough means cannot come, then directly weaken Eastern Europe into a soft one."
Yanayev's remarks are similar to those of the Third Reich and the Soviet Union when they signed a non-aggression pact, but there is a deeper conspiracy behind it.
The Soviet Union ambitiously expanded its sphere of influence, and if the expansion of the Soviet Union alone, the remaining Germany and France would certainly be eyeing the hostile aggression of the red polar bear, and if the United States instigated it, the Triple Alliance would collapse and fall into the Cold War period and be targeted by the whole world.
If you want to expand, you have to take risks, and failure is nothing more than fleeing to the Netherlands like the Hohenzollerns.
The best way to do this is to drag the European powers into the water and hide their own intentions for political expansion. The alliance of great powers has created a more stable political circle at the expense of smaller countries. It can also be regarded as Yanayev's hole card for his successor to solve the problem of Eastern Europe.
The best way to fight with a tiger is to be a giant bear that is more terrifying than a tiger.
"Deal, although I also hate Kohl's so-called alliance policy, which is nothing more than a drag on Germany's development, the real expansion should be conquest and plunder, and the inclusion of Eastern European countries in the range of origin of the Western European market. It's just the scope of the expansion of Eastern Europe, and if there is no unified argument, it will be a big headache. β
Krenz crossed his legs and asked word by word, "For example, which country can we annex, and which country can you annex?" β
Yanayev pushed the lenses on the bridge of his nose and replied in a deep voice, "We only need to ensure the security of the borders of the Soviet Union, and we don't care about the rest." As for how far Germany can be annexed, it depends on its own ability. β
This is an ambiguous answer, the Soviet Union's borders from Finland to Romania to Turkey in Asia, covering almost the entire Eastern European region, and ensuring political security on the border is equivalent to including all Eastern European countries in its sphere of influence, which is simply a strategic strategy tailored for the Soviet Union itself.
Krenz saw through this, but he didn't say it. Because it was also very beneficial to Germany, it was not necessary to turn Warsaw into a sphere of influence under the clouds of German politics, and it did not take a single soldier to complete the original FΓΌhrer's blitzkrieg.
"Very good, I agree with you. As long as the USSR and Germany were united, none of the Eastern European countries would be our opponents. β
If the Soviet Union did not intervene, Germany could expand its sphere of influence with impunity, and everything returned to the beginning of 1940, when the appeasement of Britain and France inflated the ambitions of the empire. In the end, it led to an unbridled prairie fire that burned everything.
"There is also the question of the oil loan, which is repaid for four years."
Four years later, the hole in the price of crude oil has long since fallen to an ugly state, and in fact, Yanayev replaced himself with oil, and the final result was to earn himself.
Krentz, his fingers tapping on the sofa, his eyes showing relief and indescribable relief, he stretched out his hand and said to Yanayev, "There is no problem, we should make a toast to the cooperation of the USSR and Germany." β
Yanayev smiled and did not speak. The two sides soon signed a secret agreement, including a restrictive treaty, rights and obligations between the three countries of the Soviet Union, France and Germany. To be honest, Yanayev did not have much hope for this thin piece of paper, and only wanted to be able to temporarily solve the pressure on the Western Front, so as to gain the opportunity to transform Eastern Europe.
After this secret meeting, Yanayev returned to Moscow with a secret agreement. When he came, he looked grim, and when he left, he didn't get any better. Even after stepping on the flying Kremlin, he still had a cold look. Silently write things down in a notebook.
Primakov, aware of what Yanayev was vaguely worried about, asked in a low voice, "Is the general secretary worried about our dealings with Germany?" β
He shook his head and closed his notebook. Raising his head to Primakov, he said, "No. Did I take the Triple Alliance for granted, or was Germany more complicated than I thought? β
"What does the general secretary mean?"
Primakov frowned suspiciously.
"I had expected that this negotiation would be very convinced, after all, many of the Soviet treaties were not in line with Germany's strategic interests, but Krenz took a bite of it. Don't you think it's weird? β
"Especially when it comes to the Soviet Union's guarantee of political security on the border, anyone can see that our borders are several times larger than those of other countries, and the purpose of ensuring security is to expand the influence of Eastern Europe, but Krenz still agrees with it, which is one of the things that worries me the most. Germany did not cooperate with the Soviet Union as much as it seemed. From the beginning of the full acceptance of Soviet-style armaments, the dispatch of former East German air force personnel to our country for training, to the current purchase of fighter jets, it seems to emphasize the Soviet-German alliance, but in fact everything is in the interests of the German Democratic Baath Party and the Democratic Republican Army. β
Yanayev sighed, things have developed to this point a little contrary to the original intention, originally just to muddy the waters of Europe. But now it seems that a potential European hegemon has been cultivated.
The Triple Alliance was inseparable, the rise of Germany was unstoppable, and Yanayev was in a dilemma.
Take a step, look at a step.
Before Primakov could express his opinion, Yanayev preemptively said, "Let's see when the time comes, if the intentions behind Germany are sinister, we will directly preempt it." Cut off the opponent's back road. β
He sighed and said with some melancholy, "In this world, even revolutionary friendship cannot be relied on. (To be continued.) )
