Not only did the beautiful hostess Hannah's face change suddenly, but many viewers in front of the TV also changed color suddenly.

Michael Kretschmer's words reminded them again of the nuclear shadow that they had so hard to forget, and just like Michael Kretschmer said, Russia is still insisting on increasing its military power in the European direction in such a difficult economic situation, is it that they have too much money to spend?

Of course not!

Since it's not, then what is the purpose of the damned Russians?

Whatever the purpose of the Russians, one thing is certain: the Russians certainly did not come to say "hello, how are you?" to Germany.

........................

Michael Kretschmer was telling the truth, but there is no doubt that his words touched a sensitive nerve in the hearts of German nationalists who thought Germany had risen to its feet as a result of Germany's economic growth over the years, and had become Europe's number one economic power.

On the one hand, they are extremely proud that their country was able to achieve this achievement in just over half a century after World War II, and on the other hand, because of this pride, they feel more and more unpleasant when they look at the American military bases in their own country - not to mention that you Americans are here to protect us, why don't we Germany station troops on your American soil to protect you? So when it comes to dealing with the US troops in Germany, their attitude is very consistent: Americans should get out of German soil!

Naturally, when Michael Kretschmer's remarks were published, these democrats in Germany immediately exploded, and in Germany, a number of left-leaning media strongly criticized Michael Kretschmer, and in the Rhineland-Palatinate ruled by Michael Kretschmer, there were many protest marches against Michael Kretschmer, and some radical protests even demanded that Michael Kretschmer resign as governor.

But no matter what the German people are doing, the German economy has made the most appropriate response: the German stock market keeps falling, many stocks are hanging there and no one cares, and what is even worse, the German economic department has found that there has been a panic outflow of funds......

Schroeder rubbed his temples vigorously, during this period of time from the economic, political and civil pressure, he was exhausted, but he has been holding on, waiting for the answer of the intelligence department and the diplomatic department: all the previous words about Russia will strengthen its military power in the European direction and the Baltic Sea, are some uncertain news, before this, Schroeder still has a fluke mentality in his heart: what if the situation is wrong?

Just when Schroeder was extremely anxious, the secretary on duty outside called in: "Sir, our embassy in Russia has called, and the caller is our ambassador to Russia, Klaus Ernst, Mr. Klaus Ernst said that he has just finished communicating with Mr. Vladimir and wants to report to you the results of this communication.

Also, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Joseph Fischer, and the Minister of Defence, Peter Struck, are also online, do you need to bring in the wire transfer?"

Schroeder took a deep breath and said, "Take it in." ”

"Okay. ”

A moment later, the first voice in front of Schroeder came out of the phone, which had switched to hands-free mode: "Hello sir, I'm Joseph Fischer." ”

Immediately after Joseph Fischer, another voice came in: "Hello sir, I'm Klaus Ernst. ”

As soon as Klaus Ernst's words fell, Schroeder said impatiently: "Mr. Ernst, how did you communicate with Mr. Vladimir? What did Mr. Vladimir say about the previous rumors?"

"Okay," said Klaus Ernst, "Mr. Vladimir admitted, saying that they are indeed strengthening Russia's military forces in the European direction, and at the same time strengthening the strength of the Russian Baltic Fleet. ”

As soon as Klaus Ernst's words came out, Schroeder, Foreign Minister Josef Fischer, and Defense Minister Peter Struck, who participated in this impromptu online meeting, were all stunned: Damn polar bears, are they going to play for real?!

After a while, Peter Struk was the first to exclaim: "Why are the Russians doing this? Why are they doing this?"

"Because of NATO's eastward expansion," Klaus Ernst said bitterly: "In this exchange, Mr. Vladimir made it clear that NATO's repeated eastward expansion over the years has seriously eroded Russia's strategic buffer space and brought huge national defense and military pressure to Russia, and in order to cope with NATO's eastward expansion and improve the response and response capabilities of the Russian army, the Russian government has to make a decision to strengthen its military presence and the strength of the Baltic Fleet." ”

It turned out to be because of NATO's eastward expansion?!

Hearing the official explanation of the Russian brought back by Klaus Ernst, Schroeder, Josef Fischer and Peter Struck all fell silent, unable to say a word about Russia's answer.

Yes, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization led by the United States has been playing happily on the road of eastward expansion, because the appearance of Chen Geng forcibly extended the life of the Soviet Union for several years, and NATO in this time and space has slowed down the speed of eastward expansion, and only absorbed the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland into NATO, which means that Russia's strategic buffer space in the European direction has been cut off to a large extent.

However, after absorbing the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland into NATO, the US-led NATO has not stopped its eastward expansion, and is now trying to "seduc" Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia, and the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to join NATO, further squeezing Russia's strategic buffer space.

At the same time, the Americans are actively engaging with the Georgian government, taking advantage of Georgia's strong separatist tendencies that have existed for decades, and the shareholder Georgia to gain independence from Russia.

Lao Maozi is not a dead man, and his temper is not good, so he endured the first eastward expansion, and now he will start to squeeze his strategic living space, if he doesn't react a little, it will be hell.
