Chapter 383: An Agreement is reached

Although German Chancellor Kohl has repeatedly stressed to Chirac that the change of plan is not due to Germany's unilateral factors, but because Croatian President Kittoman is unwilling to resume conflict with Serbia on the border, so he chose to deploy strategic bombers to maintain strategic peace in Eastern Europe, how could Chirac continue to believe what Kohl said, he would rather believe that the Soviet Union would collapse in the next moment, than believe Kohl's claim to fool France.

France's claim that if Germany continues like this, not only will it not support Croatia's legitimacy, but will also very likely switch to Serbia, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Germany. As soon as the cooperative alliance was established, it was facing a situation where it could break down at any time because of mutual suspicion between the two countries.

"France will not be willing to cooperate with Germany unless it is willing to share at least half of the cost, and nothing else will be discussed. France will not stick money to help a country, and Germany should not expect France to unilaterally and selflessly help Croatia. ”

Chirac's resolute attitude was a headache for Kohl, who was originally like fooling France into increasing political investment in Croatia, but who knew that in the end, it was put on the side by the French. And he had already promised Tittoman a batch of heavy weapons and military supplies, and all the previous investments of Germany were wasted.

But the Franco-German feud has caused President Milosevic to be uneasy, especially since Germany's recent military aid to Croatia has made him feel a little frightened. 24 MiG-21 fighters, 15 Mi-24 gunships, and the remaining T72M tanks were packaged and gifted. It is clear that the military power between Croatia and Serbia is already vaguely on the same level.

Croatia, which has grown militarily, is beginning to show a hard-line style. In addition to frequent exercises in the border areas. The deployment of Croatian troops also entered the border area between the two countries. The Balkans, the powder keg of Europe, began to smell of sulfur again.

At this time, Milosevic finally began to feel uneasy, he regretted that he had refused the protection of the Soviet Union before, and now Croatia, which has grown by leaps and bounds, has almost the military strength to catch up with Serbia overnight, and the other party's weapons are still the surplus materials that Germany packed and took away, in terms of air force, the domestic J22 light attack aircraft may not be Croatia's newly equipped fighter opponent, although there is a certain amount of suppression, but this does not mean that Serbia can distance itself from Croatia in the airspace.

Not long after the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union had just concluded his visit to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Milosevic made a secret visit to Moscow, hoping to obtain military assistance from the Soviet Union to rebuild Serbia's flagging military power. Of course, Milosevic believed that if he wanted the Soviet Union to help him, the first thing that could not be bypassed was the project on the deployment of ballistic missiles.

The Soviets tried in every possible way to tie Serbia to their Iron Curtain, and Milosevic knew that he could no longer maintain a careful peace with the Red Behemoth. Either become an ally of the Soviet Union or perish under NATO suppression, the diplomatic principle of peace and independence is a dream in the Balkans, and every small country must stand in line and choose to form an alliance with one of the European countries. Otherwise, it will be the fate of Yugoslavia.

"Germany has recently provided Croatia with a batch of heavy weapons, and now Croatia's air and army forces are beginning to rival Serbia's. I hope to receive military assistance from the USSR to counter the threat from Croatia. Moreover, the recent frequent exercises of the Croatian army in the border area are not a good thing for any country. ”

Milosevic's deliberate failure to respond to Croatia's provocations was to prepare to show that the Serbian army was inferior to Croatia in front of Yanayev and to add sympathy to his own efforts to obtain military assistance.

But how could Yanayev not see through Milosevic's trick, he nodded deliberately and agreed with him, "Yes, after our internal discussions, we have always believed that it is necessary to provide military support to Serbia now, but we also have the same condition, that is, the Soviet Union must establish a ballistic missile base in Serbia, if the Serbian side is not willing to agree to this request, everything is exempt from negotiation." ”

Unlike the benevolent Pavlov, Yanayev was very resolute, and he would not allow Milosevic to continue to pursue the practice of wanting bread without paying the price, but this time Milosevic agreed to Yanaev's request very generously.

Milosevic calmly replied, "There is no problem, the Soviet army can establish ballistic missile bases and garrison troops on Serbian soil, as long as you do not violate the Serbian constitution and laws, we will tolerate this." And the actions of the USSR on Serbian soil must be reported to the Serbian government, and we cannot let you mess around in Yugoslavia. ”

Tito tried his best to get rid of the control of the Soviet Union, but he did not expect that Serbia would voluntarily and consciously accept the control of the Soviet Union a few decades later.

Seeing that Milosevic was completely different from before, Yanayev knew that the deliberate use of Western countries to provoke relations between Serbia and Croatia had been reached, and he nodded with great satisfaction, "Very good, then I think we can also talk about military assistance next." Previously, the German-backed Croatia received some of the heavy weapons of the former East German People's Armed Forces, including MiG-21 fighters, T72M tanks and Mi-24 helicopters, in this case, we can also provide Serbian MiG-23 fighters, T72M tanks and Mi-8, Mi-24 helicopters, not only that, but we are also willing to sell self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, needle anti-aircraft missiles, and AT4 anti-tank missiles, so that you can not only have the same weapons as Croatia, Also have a much larger number of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons than them. ”

Milosevic was surprised by Yanaev's generosity because the Soviet Union did not intend to cut off a large piece of Serbian meat in terms of weapons, but slowly drained the Serbian treasury from the replacement of additional ammunition and important parts. Under the leadership of Yanayev, the current Soviet Union has given full play to the hooligan temperament of the five permanent members of the United Nations, and has done everything possible to obtain the greatest benefits from the hands of the other side.

"As long as Serbia is willing to cooperate with the Soviet Union, our military aid will be more generous than Croatia's, I swear." Yanayev said with a smile at Milosevic, who obediently got into the trap. (To be continued.) )
