Chapter 684: Angry People, Cold Weapons

The first update

Vladimir secretly went to the headquarters of the Western Army Cluster stationed in Zuosen on his back with Yanayev on his back, and there were some things that he needed to personally instruct General Brakov. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info because he was the key to the success or failure of the whole German plan in the future.

When Vladimir's car stopped at the entrance of the command headquarters, he could not believe his eyes, until it was confirmed from those few letters in Russian that this was the headquarters of the army group.

A somewhat dilapidated building lay in front of him, the symbol of the hammer and sickle had long since been rusted in the wind and sun, and if it were not for the soldiers standing guard at the gate still wearing Soviet clothes, Vladimir would almost have thought that it was an abandoned building.

Vladimir showed his ID to the soldier, who gave him a military salute and let him enter the headquarters.

Walking into the interior of the headquarters, Vladimir felt what it means to be dilapidated, and no one would believe that such a place was the office building of a certain Soviet general.

Empty hallways, cordoned off offices, and a weird musty smell in the air. Vladimir, led by the reception staff, came to General Brakov's office.

"Minister Vladimir, please be seated." Brakov warmly welcomed the other party to sit down. Vladimir looked around the office, and it was the only one that was clean and tidy.

"It's not at all like a Soviet general's office." Vladimir joked, "I have the impression that they all live in palatial villas, not in places covered with cobwebs." ”

Brakov smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Comrade Vladimir, you don't know the current situation of the troops stationed in Germany, and the soldiers have little opportunity to replace the facilities except for basic maintenance expenses. According to those in the Ministry of Defense, we will all be evacuated from this land anyway, do we need to add something new? The entire building is gone, and we really don't have anyone left except for a few necessary personnel. ”

"Thank you, General Brakov." Vladimir said in a slightly apologetic tone, "It's hard that you have persevered for so long in such an environment. ”

"It's nothing, those huge clusters of armor are a nightmare. In 1991, there had been no payroll for almost three or four months. Almost everyone, from high-ranking officers to low-level soldiers, is reselling armaments to leave a way back for themselves. Tanks, armored vehicles and even helicopters, it is really difficult for me to imagine what the result would have been if it had not been for the timely appropriation of General Secretary Yanayev later. ”

"What about General Secretary Yanayev?" Brakov asked.

"The general secretary will not come, and I will meet in place of the general secretary." Vladimir lit the cigarette handed over by Brakov, took a deep breath and said slowly, "How much equipment is left in the current Western Army Cluster that has not been transported?" I need a specific number, and the garrison is all broken up, right? ”

"Yes, the situation is chaotic right now. The first is the 34th artillery division stationed in Zuosen, with 30 2S3 self-propelled howitzers, 10 2S7 self-propelled howitzers, 29 BM27 rocket launchers. The 6th Motorized Rifle Brigade has 38 BMP2 infantry fighting vehicles, 20 T80 tanks, 4 SA13 anti-aircraft missile launchers remaining. ”

"Then there is the 8th Guards Army stationed in Weimar-Nuhra, the 47th Tank Brigade also has 39 T64 tanks, 14 T80 tanks, 4 SA13 anti-aircraft missile launchers, 20 Mi-24 helicopter gunships in the military helicopter regiment, 20 Mi-8 helicopters. Then counting the 79th Guards Tank Division, the 27th, 39th and 57th Guards Motorized Rifle Divisions, there are probably more than 200 mothballed T64 tanks and more than 60 T80 tanks. It is not known how many of them will be successfully operational. ”

"Is this enough force for a civil war in Germany?" Vladimir asked.

Hearing Vladimir's question, Brakov smiled directly, "Comrade Vladimir, the Western Army Cluster was originally prepared for the conquest of Europe, not for a German civil war. And these weapons are the elite of the Soviet army at the beginning, not a castrated monkey version. If there is really a war, with a huge inventory of ammunition, it can support at least a year and a half. To be honest, when General Secretary Yanayev told me about that plan, I thought he was crazy. Now it seems that the general secretary is the real genius. ”

Brakov recalled the first time he was summoned to Moscow, when he was supposed to be ordered to retire and was summoned by the Kremlin, but Yanayev simply explained the matter to him and asked him if he was up to the task.

Brakov said yes for sure, so he stayed in Zuosen until now, watching his colleagues and juniors climb the net step by step, and did not say a word of complaint. He kept an eye on the situation in Germany and waited for an opportunity.

"Okay, General Brakov, you have to listen carefully to what I say next. Soon, the people of East Germany would cause even greater unrest and even the emergence of anti-government resistance groups. And your task is to secretly supply weapons to anti-government organizations. When the civil war breaks out, open the mothballed tanks, armored vehicles and helicopter gunships to support the rebels. Don't worry about their military training, the vast majority of them are retired soldiers of the disbanded East German People's Armed Forces, who are more skilled in handling T80 and T64 tanks than we drink vodka. ”

"And then?" Brakov asked.

Vladimir smiled and said, "Then, you need to accuse the German government with great fanfare, the East German people of robbing the Soviet army, and make a big claim to the German government, demanding that the German government compensate the Soviet troops in Germany for the losses." Having done this, General Brakov's task was accomplished. The next thing is to be handed over to the KGB's Foreign Intelligence Service. ”

Before leaving, the Soviet Union did not forget to disgust Germany.

"Is it really possible for a civil war to break out in Germany now?" Brakov couldn't believe that the Germans, who had always longed for integration, had decided to start a civil war with their own hands.

Vladimir shrugged his shoulders and said, "We just push the plot forward, and we can't change the final direction." And the decision is not in our hands, but in the hands of the German government and the refugees. It was their policy mistakes that contributed to this result. ”

Vladimir made a gesture, "The USSR was just providing the angry German people with cold weapons of murder." (To be continued.) )
