Chapter 842: A Strong Alliance

Germany wants to make the United States an enemy? Chirac felt that he must have misheard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

You have always played the role of carrying the flag of the anti-Soviet regime, and suddenly you have such a play, what are you going to do?

However, considering the German context, there is a reason for this, because after the German Civil War, the Federal Republic of Germany has been severely suppressed, and now the German Democratic Baath Party, which supports the development of Germany, has a considerable number of people standing out from the East German Communist Party. If it had not been for the slogans of anti-refugee and work for all, they would not have been able to outwit the politically entrenched left in European politics in the elections. It is precisely for this reason that Krenz has to make a quick decision after coming to power, eliminate all political forces that may oppose him, and then insert the chess pieces firmly in the interior of the republic.

"Well, if you really want to form a coalition of European powers all the time according to your own standards...... Shouldn't we be the first to solve the problems left over from history? Let the anti-Soviet Western Europe take the lead in concluding an alliance of economic and political cooperation with the Soviet Union, put aside the antagonism and become an organization for the unified development of Europe. Don't you think it's a little unrealistic? ”

Chirac kindly reminded his counterpart that, although contrary to decades of propaganda, "Western European propaganda has portrayed the Soviet Union as an evil empire in the eyes of the population, and although they have lost the potential for expansion, if you want to form a Triple Alliance, you need to take into account the opposition forces at home." Even if Germany claims to make such a claim, and your younger brothers in the EU will definitely not agree with your approach, so don't you need to take the lead in solving those headaches? ”

"This is Germany's own business, and there is no need for the French side to worry, we have always been prepared. Besides, France was a feud and mortal enemy like Germany back then, and now it is not the same as sitting in the same living room and talking about the future development of Europe? Everything is not static, and sworn enemies become allies, not because of tradition, but because of interests. ”

In the eyes of politicians, interests are above all else.

Krentz's answer surprised Chirac. Especially when he saw the other party's strategic appearance, the idea of insider trading behind the big powers flashed through his mind. But in any case, France believes in independent policies, and the deal behind them has nothing to do with them.

As he said, it's all about interests.

However, there is still a problem on the French side, which is also the core of the most fundamental interests.

"Even if Germany and the Soviet Union were willing to form an alliance, why do you think that I would agree to the proposal to form a Triple Alliance?"

Chirac has said before that the national policy should be independence, and that joining the EU and becoming the leader of the Union of the Mediterranean are both profitable, but on this issue, he does not see any benefits.

He stared at Krenz in front of him, his expression was light, expecting the other party to give a satisfactory answer.

"Because we can lend oil to Europe. By current oil prices, the loan would be a trump card for Germany and France to tide over their economic crisis. Coupled with the Soviet Union's generous sales in the Mediterranean Union, France will not be unimpressed. ”

Oil is Yanayev's best trump card, especially in an era when oil prices continue to soar, and he can still take a cold eye on the future of Western Europe.

Even by the time of the big collapse, Yanayev had already withdrawn and did not need to worry about the final result at all.

In addition to plundering Jewish capital, Hitler's policy was the issuance of bonds and the reprieve of American debt. Overdrafts and high loans pushed Germany to the brink of collapse.

If the German Democratic Baath Party wants to revive the sluggish economy and ensure employment, it must vigorously support the real economy and expand the strength of the German army, and he does not mind Germany stirring up chaos and then dumping arms on a large scale.

He was not afraid that Germany would mess up the situation in Europe, but he was afraid that Germany would not dare to make a move.

Eastern Europe was in chaos, and the Soviet Union, which had endured for many years, had the opportunity to make a bold move. At present, military deterrence and proxy warfare are just petty fights, and he will not hesitate to act once the chaos endangers border security.

This was the last ploy that Marshal Ogarkov laid for Yanayev before his retirement. From supporting the opposition in East Germany when the situation is favorable, forcing Germany to establish a pro-Soviet government after dividing the regime, and then instigating Germany to expand its armed forces, stimulate the military industry, and stimulate domestic demand, he will become the fuse of war in Europe when the final end is too big to fall.

"It's not that Germany is stupid and forced to create chaos, but because under the pressure of the debt crisis, the German Democratic Baath Party that came to power will definitely adopt a policy of state control of the economy in order to save the country. That's why we prefer to support Germany at the risk of the other side taking the debt of the other side. Let him be the introduction of the chaos in Europe, and seek opportunities for us to change the pattern. ”

If the Soviet Union could not be allowed to move from a second-rate to a quasi-first-rate country of influence, Yanayev would have spent so much effort in Europe.

"If they get rid of the debt, aren't we at a loss?"

Considering that Russia has done this on a different timeline, Yanayev can't help but worry about whether history will repeat itself in Europe.

"Is there a way for General Secretary Nayanayev to change, our strategic space is in a constant state of compression? If there was a better way to break the game, I don't think you would have been bothered from the beginning of your reign to the present, right? ”

Yanayev never forgot the look in his eyes when he was refuted by Ogarkov, as if he could penetrate people's hearts at a glance, "If there is no way, this is a desperate gamble." Of course, we can also use France to sanction the other side, and wasn't the Hamburg Treaty signed in the first place to deal with this situation? With this life-saving treaty in hand, even if Western Europe repents, we don't have to worry about not having the means to sanction Germany. Moreover, if Germany reverses, their debt problems will become a bargaining chip in the future. ”

Worse?

Wait a minute.

1998 happened to be the beginning of the financial crisis that swept the world, and if Germany really repented, then it was expected that Yanayev, who had developed history, would blackmail the other side at this time.

Yanayev's request at the meeting between the ambassador in Berlin and Krenz was conveyed to President Chirac in its entirety. (To be continued.) )
