Although France and Germany are in the same political circle, this does not mean that the two countries have ended their relationship of feud with each other. In the sixties and seventies, the two countries came together, one was that the trend of economic globalization drove them from confrontation to cooperation, but the threat from the red camp in Eastern Europe made them realize that they must be united.

With the exception of Britain, which played offshore balance, France and Germany both wanted to become the rulers of Europe, so they stumbled each other within the framework of the European Union, and the deployment of strategic bombers was nothing more than an unsuccessful cooperation between the two countries, especially when they heard that Serbia had agreed to the Soviet Union's ballistic missile base plan, and the two countries sat down again to discuss countering the threat of Yanayev in order to seek their own security.

When Chirac met with Prime Minister Kohl, the faces of the two men were obviously a little unnatural, and the other day they were still coming together because of who paid more for strategic bomber airfields, and now because of the cooperation between the Soviet Union and Serbia. Even at the negotiating table, the two are still thinking in their hearts about how to make each other pay a larger share.

"I think it's necessary to have a strategic bomber base in Croatia to counter the threat from Serbia, which is NATO's first outpost and springboard in Eastern Europe, and Serbia is the last Soviet base in Eastern Europe," President Chirac said. If we could start another proxy war before the Soviet ballistic missiles were deployed, I think the Soviet Union would lose its last base. ”

"Do you know how much it costs to start a war? Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, and there is widespread anti-war sentiment throughout the Croatian nation. For them, after the goal of national independence has been achieved. They did not want the continuation of the conflict with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. So it is impossible to get Croatia to provoke a war. ”

Chancellor Cole refuted the absurdity of Chirac's views. In fact, not only did Croatia not want to conflict with Serbia again, but even Germany did not want to be consumed in another war, Yugoslavia had always supported the Croats during the civil war, and the independent Serb Kohl of Bosnia and Herzegovina found that in the end it was thankless, not only did not meet his expectations, but also sent a lot of weapons and funds in vain, and France was completely enjoying the events except for a few bombings.

This made Cole extremely unbalanced. Why did Germany not get the slightest benefit from spending money and efforts in Yugoslavia, while France was sitting back and enjoying the benefits? Therefore, this strategic bomber deployment plan must have to make the French who slam the door take out a sum of money from their pockets in order to make Cole's heart more balanced.

"Why, then, do France pay the lion's share, while Germany is just sitting back and reaping the benefits?" The smell of gunpowder at the negotiating table became stronger and stronger, and instead of retreating, Chirac became more aggressive, and he had to take a tough attitude to coerce Germany in order to make the negotiations fair between the two countries.

"Germany's attitude is really disappointing, and if there is no sincerity, we will simply abandon this plan to deploy strategic bombers on Croatian territory. Of course, you Germans can do it alone. As long as you have strategic bombers, no? It's a big deal that we live under the threat and shadow of communism all day long. ”

Chirac finally got to the point that made Cole scrupled. That is, Germany does not have strategic bombers, and if it wants to complete this plan, it must turn to France or Britain, so President Chirac dares to blackmail Germany in such a blatant manner, because Germany cannot complete this matter alone.

"So either we'll split all the costs evenly, or we'll continue to spend it like that, and you'll see, Prime Minister Cole." Chirac continues to add straw to Kohl's crushing straw because of the new NATO membership.

And Germany has already provided so many weapons to Croatia, and the termination of aid at this time means that all of Germany's previous investments have been wasted, which is absolutely intolerable for Kerr, how could the calculating Germans lead to the failure of the deployment in Eastern Europe because of this incident, and he also wants to absorb Croatia into the NATO system and become a new member of the Soviet Union.

"Germany is willing to pay a quarter of the cost, while France will have to pay three-quarters, otherwise we would not have agreed to this project." Chancellor Kohl, after contemplation, gave a German offer.

"But our bottom line in France is one-half, and the two sides share it equally, so you can do it, if Germany is not willing then I don't think there is any need for us to continue to talk, forgive me for a moment, German Chancellor."

Chirac got up and left the room, which was just a means of putting psychological pressure on his opponent, and by the time Cole began to panic, Chirac's goal was achieved. Sure enough, when he was about to leave, Kohl suddenly stood up and said to Chirac, "The bottom line in Germany is one-third, and we are willing to pay one-third." If France does not agree to even this condition, then there is no need for further cooperation. ”

Chirac turned his head to look at Cole's slightly flustered face, and finally smiled triumphantly. Sure enough, France is the winner in life who persevered to the end.

"Deal."

Chirac said, of course, in order to prevent Germany from continuing to be behind the scenes, France has also introduced a series of rules and regulations, such as Germany wants to use strategic bombers and other fighter jets can only be carried out after the approval of the French authorities, of course, Germany can deploy its own fighters, but it can only be used after obtaining the consent of both sides.

Although there is some discomfort, the purpose of deploying strategic bombers in Croatia has been achieved, and it is much better to be taken advantage of by others, and the Balkans will be in a state of strategic equilibrium for a long time, NATO has strategic bombers, and the Soviet Union has ballistic missiles capable of bombing any corner of Europe, and the political contest seems to have returned to its original place after going around in circles. But everyone knows that this seemingly tied contest was the first step taken by the Soviet Union to conquer Eastern Europe.

Because the Soviet offensive did not end there, if Serbia was only to keep the last red base area, then Yanayev used Serbia as a fulcrum to radiate and spread around, returning to the sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. (To be continued.) )
