Chapter 824: Arms Dealers and "Dictators"
Instead of standing on the streets of Bucharest, where Motorov cocktails and stones fly, or meeting his clients in the mine-strewn mountains of Bosnia-Herzegovina or the occasional gunshot, he met with Débaath leader Jonischkis at his private residence in Berlin.

Since the last leader of the GDR in 1991, this is the second time that he has appeared in the limelight of the masses and the authorities, with a considerable number of people seeing her as the savior of Germany and drawing a diametrically opposed symbol to the "human rights" and "equal" Kohl, while another, mainly in the mainstream media, sees him as a tyrant and dictator.
Jonishkis was very cautious about this election. Because in the future he is likely to become the chairman of the majority parliament in Germany.
And as a businessman without discipline, he doesn't care whether the other party is a tyrant or a German savior, as long as he can afford to pay, he is a customer worthy of long-term cooperation.
Because the contest between the German Democratic Baath Party and the federal government was now on the right track of the country's legal system, Yanayev no longer provided assistance for the sake of the situation in Europe. Viktor, a free trader who is the representative of a third party, is very important, as he is the link and bridge between the two parties, and is used to support those who Yanayev cannot explicitly support.
He sat in Joniškis's office, making the final reckoning.
"The steamer is at Glesfwald, you have checked all the bullets and standard guns, and the remaining batch will be brought from the Albanian warehouses. The tank parts you need are also lifted off from the Kyiv airfield and airlifted to the GDR, Chairman Jonishkis, you can sign the contract with your name. ”
"The efficiency of Soviet conquest is always astonishing with rapidity, isn't it?"
Pulling out the pen from his pocket, he quickly wrote his name on the contract on A4 paper, "The remaining balance has been credited to your account, and it is a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Victor." ”
Victor did not get up, he was a businessman with a keen sense of smell and was always able to smell business opportunities in tense political situations. When he looked around Joniškis's office, he noticed subtle details.
He also has a roadmap of the German Democratic Republican Army offensive on his wall.
This detail is very interesting to the merchant of death, and he did not get up to leave, but said tentatively, "The political situation in Germany is not as stable as the media say, is it?" The German Democratic Revival Party is constantly on the lookout for the Bundeswehr offensive, which is why the closer the election gets, the more you have to buy arms. The GDR was worried. ”
Jonischkis stared straight at him, trying to gauge what he was thinking.
"What are we worried about? Berlin has become the political center of East Germany, and has even regained its pre-1989 sphere of influence, I don't quite understand what Victor was worried about. ”
"Of course you're worried."
Victor directly picked off the last fig leaf of Jonishkis, "Just because the Bundeswehr has recently expanded by nearly 50,000 troops, you should be worried." Although a brutal separatist war was fought, this did not mean that West Germany did not have the strength to fight back, in fact, both sides were betting on whether they would tear their faces and fight each other after the election. ”
Jonishkis, who was seen through by the other party, was a little displeased, but the possibility of a break was almost an open secret, and he could not blame the other party for this.
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm a businessman, providing customers with the goods they need most. If we can, we can continue to place additional orders. ”
Victor put on a businessman's attitude, "Although the mainstream media has been trying to suppress your candidate Krenz, he is becoming more and more popular among the people, and he is very likely to replace Kohl as the next German chancellor." The fed-hearted Federal Republic of Germany was naturally furious, and if they chose to go to war, the arms they bought now would be especially important, Chairman Joniškis. If I'm not mistaken, after the previous war of division, the DPA is almost depleted, right? ”
Victor voiced his concerns.
"If I could, I could import a batch of new SAM shoulder-fired missiles, helicopter gunships for air support, and Tao anti-tank missiles, equipped with armor-piercing shells specifically for the Leopard, at a low price on the Soviet side. If the beech anti-aircraft missile is used against air superiority, it can also be ordered from Lavockin. I was a free trader and had the most options for the East German army. ”
Jonishkis frowned, he was thinking about funding. Although Victor's offer was very tempting, the funding for armaments was already somewhat stretched.
"Imagine if you become the ruler of Germany, will the Federal Republic of Germany let the DAP go? It is possible to cross the ceasefire line and go to war against East Germany, there are not enough weapons, and there is no qualification to even wage a people's war. The strength and heritage of the Federal Republic of Germany are still there, and he will not lose the power to fight back because of the loss of the five East German states. Had it not been for a temporary compromise, Kohl would not have been able to agree to a foolish dream of changing the German political system. ”
No one spoke, the atmosphere in the office was awkward and silent, and Victor was not in a hurry, knowing that Jonishkis would be convinced.
After two minutes, he spoke.
"The German election is two weeks away, when will you arrive at the latest?"
Jonishkis was convinced, because Viktor had been grasping at his weaknesses and engaged in a psychological battle.
"If you place an order now, you will be able to receive it in a week at the latest. Chairman Jonishkis, behind us is the Soviets, a huge arms empire, the last thing you have to worry about is the supply of goods, even if the war lasts for more than a hundred years, we still have ballast bullets to supply. Maybe the only thing you're worried about is that you don't buy enough arms. ”
Victor smiled and shook hands with him, and before he knew it, nearly 10 million more arms deals were made in his hands.
The "tyrant" who was ready to unify Germany and the arms dealers who supplied him with weapons was simply a match made in heaven.
No wonder Yanayev wanted to call back to Europe the genius of arms sales, who was vacationing far away in South America.
Finally, Victor said politely, "Also, I wish you a successful election." Congressman Krenz is very suitable for playing, the savior of Germany. ”
There was one more sentence that he did not utter.
"It's also great to be a long-term arms customer." (To be continued.) )
