Chapter 761: The Return of the Iron Army
The second more
"For the fall of Berlin, the German leadership, especially myself, has an unshirkable responsibility. I announce www.biquge.info Bundeswehr will concentrate all its forces and take Berlin from today. Berlin has not been taken, and we will not accept any peace talks. This is the reply of the Federal Republic of Germany! There is only one Federal Republic of Germany in Germany, and it is definitely not creating a second divided country. β
The impassioned Kohl on television deftly dodged the question of the fall of Berlin, instead focusing everyone's attention on retaking Berlin, hoping to use popular pressure to exert pressure on East Germany on many fronts. The recapture of Berlin was an inevitable battle for him.
With a resolute look in the spotlight, he gambled all his German wealth on the Battle of Berlin. Desperate for Berlin, this is Kohl's reply to the GDR Democratic Baath Party.
The German Democratic Republican Army (DGR) had taken Berlin, and the surrendered Bundeswehr was being escorted to the prisoner of war camps in the rear, row after row. This time the Bundeswehr was completely defeated by the enemy. They thought that the German Democratic Republican Army was nothing more than a rabble, and they thought that with the advanced weapons and armaments of West Germany, they could wipe out East Germany. But they were all wrong.
When General Henry, who surrendered, saw the endless stream of tanks, he realized that all this was a trap. There were serious mistakes in the intelligence of the Bundeswehr, and they did not even realize that the other side was so powerful.
"The top brass of the Wehrmacht is really a bunch of rice buckets, no wonder we will lose so badly, it's not that we are ineffective in suppressing bandits, but that the top brass is really incompetent."
Henry even laughed a little, he now figured out that the defeat of the Bundeswehr was not about weapons or numbers, but the real root of it was a bunch of corpse waste. Otherwise, how could it be that reconnaissance satellites, high-altitude reconnaissance planes, and various information reconnaissance means would not be able to discover the artillery positions hidden behind the Selo Heights. Even intelligence operations have been mistaken one after another.
Slack armaments, incompetent armies, led to such an embarrassing end. It is no wonder that the combat effectiveness of the Bundeswehr has shrunk significantly over the past few years. After the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, Germany has been frantically cutting armaments, and the pampered environment for many years has even made these people forget that there is a red empire in Eastern Europe that has always wanted revenge, and it is secretly accumulating strength.
He looked at the current German Democratic Republican Army, which was strictly disciplined and orderly. It's a world of difference compared to the bundeswehr's bunch of rice buckets. Only the German troops of World War II could maintain such a high will to fight.
The East German army, which truly inherited the orthodoxy of Germany and Prussia, is true.
Henry sighed, but he was not wronged in losing, and whoever commanded such a steel army could also achieve the momentum of destruction.
The door behind him suddenly opened, and Henry quickly withdrew his gaze from the window. He turned his head and saw Colonel Jonishkis, leader of the German Democratic Baath Party, standing in front of him.
"Why is he here?" Henry muttered in his heart, looked at the tall man in front of him, and did not speak.
Jonishkis waved his hand and let the guard behind him out. He was going to talk to the defeated general alone. The guard nodded, and left the room very interestingly.
In the small room, apart from the humming noise of the constantly rotating electric fan, all that remained was the breathing of Henry and Jonishkis as they were silent.
"It seems that Prime Minister Kohl is not going to negotiate with us anymore." Jonischkis was the first to break the silence, and he said to himself, "He just announced on Bonn TV that he will take Berlin at all costs, and it seems that you prisoners of war have been abandoned by the state." β
Jonischkis raised his head and whispered, "General Henry, do you remember the colonel you met in Berlin in 1989?" Representatives of the GDR Democratic Army tried to negotiate with the Bundeswehr that when the army was dismantled, they wanted to retain some of the GDR soldiers and join the Bundeswehr. Do you remember? β
Henry nodded, he was also present at the negotiation, but he didn't know what Jonishkis was trying to say.
"If only you remembered." "I remember at the negotiating table that you were the one who reacted the most strongly against the joining of the East German People's Army into the Bundeswehr," said JoniΕ‘kis. Even if there is only one soldier to join, you still say that we are nothing more than a bunch of damned accomplices of the dictatorship, who do not deserve sympathy at all, and should even throw all the high-ranking generals in prison on charges of treason and endangering national security, right? β
"The general of the defeated army is not qualified to bargain, this is what you said at the time."
Jonishkis took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, took out one and lit one, and stared at each other in a puff of smoke. Wait for his reply.
Henry's eyes widened, and he vaguely remembered something. Taking a deep breath of cold air, he said tentatively, "Could it be that you are ...... at that time?"
Jonischkis nodded, and said in a cold tone, "That's right, I'm the representative who argues with reason at any time. Vowed to die to preserve the last vestiges of dignity for the East German people's army. I remember saying at that time that the East German People's Army did not surrender, we were not defeated, so how could we admit defeat. The East German People's Army can lay down its guns and ideals because of reality, but our dignity and our faith will never be erased. β
Colonel Jonishkis spread his hands and said word by word, "I still remember your contemptuous eyes and disdainful movements at that time. Then look ahead, this is the return of the iron-blooded Prussian army, and we are back, once again stepping on this humiliated land as a people's army. β
Jonishkis's eyes darkened.
"Pay for our humiliation with your land, with your blood."
Henry didn't speak, and now he was the defeated general who was not qualified to bargain.
No one could have imagined that eight years later, the East German army would return to Berlin in such a gesture, and that the Bundeswehr, which in 1989 thought it had won the final victory, would be here today as an embarrassing vanquished. Fate played a big joke on the two people in this cabin.
"The GDR no longer exists, but our fight will never end. Keep that in mind, General Henry. β
Looking at the defeated general in front of him, Colonel Jonischkis said proudly, "Prussia will never die, and we will return to Germany." β
Prussia never dies, like a spell that lingers in Henry's heart. As the other party was about to leave the room, he turned to Jonischkis and said, "Do you think that the capture of Berlin by the GDR is the final victory?" No kidding, at best, it only takes advantage of the early stage. Don't forget, the Bundeswehr hasn't been defeated, you think we only have so many troops that we can call in more soldiers at any time by expanding. But the East Germany is different, and the soldiers have always been the cause of your development. Otherwise, you wouldn't have let the Soviet Union get involved in the German dispute, would you? β
"Is it so, and isn't it?" Jonishkis really didn't want to listen to his nonsense.
"Hmph, just because the Soviet troops deployed in Germany also want to stop the Bundeswehr offensive? It's naΓ―ve, even if we don't expand, the reinforcements in the later stage alone will be able to exhaust your two under-established armored divisions in Berlin. Do you understand what I mean? Colonel Jonishkis. β
"Oh? It sounds like an arrogant look. Jonishkis said disdainfully, pointing his finger out the window and saying to Henry, "You should look out the window, that's our chips." β
Henry raised his head and followed Jonishkis's point to look out the window, and the moment he looked out the window, his pupils constricted.
He saw countless parachutes flying over Berlin, and the figure of the transport plane shuttling in the sky over Berlin was like a hammer on his chest, and his face was pale and speechless.
"The 76th Airborne Division of the Soviet Union, which was responsible for the peacekeeping operation in Berlin. From now on, your opponent will not be the German Democratic Republican Army, but the combined army of the Democratic Republican Army and the Soviet Airborne Forces. β
So Kohl announced that the Federal Republic of Germany wanted to take back Berlin? First of all, I have to pass the level of the Red Empire. β
Before leaving, Jonishkis added one last sentence that left General Henry completely speechless.
"Or do you want to try again the shame of the fall of the Third Reich in 1945?" (To be continued.) )
