Chapter 273: The Old Man

"Secretary Ulyanov, on the issue of the Soviet Union's garrison in East Germany after the merger of Germany, your country's opinion is......" Federal German Chancellor Kohl sat across the negotiating table and cautiously asked about the Soviet Union's attitude, if the Soviet Union insisted on keeping its garrison, then Germany would continue to be occupied by the United States and the Soviet Union. The value of German reunification will be greatly diminished.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that since we, the Soviet Union, have promised the reunification of East and West Germany as a single country, we will, of course, withdraw all our troops, including the branches of the KGB, the garrisons of the Soviet Red Army, and the supporting industries. But you also know that for decades we in the USSR had a lot of land and military facilities, hospital buildings, etc. here. We can't remove these institutions, so I hope that your country will make some compensation for our facilities that cannot be moved......" Seryosha has a good attitude, but he is still thinking about ripping off the bamboo. Soviet personnel in Germany could be withdrawn, weapons could be transported, but army barracks, military installations, airfields, hospitals, and buildings inhabited by Soviet personnel could not be moved, and Seryosha certainly did not want to discard these things in vain.

"Well, well! We agreed, may I ask Secretary Ulyanov what other conditions do you have? Prime Minister Kohl said helplessly. As a defeated country in World War II, even after a few decades, the Soviet Union has declined, and the Germans still have to pay for the old Nazi accounts in front of the Soviet Union. And the Soviet Union still enjoyed the dividends of the war created by Stalin's generation.

"With regard to Comrade Erich Honecker, former leader of East Germany, in view of the unfair treatment of Comrade Honecker in your country, we hope that Comrade Honecker can be allowed to leave Germany, and of course, I hope that your country will be able to take a fair view of some of Comrade Honecker's problems in history!" Seryosha said to Prime Minister Kohl.

"This question should be our internal affair in Germany, right?" Cole said dissatisfied.

"It was still the internal affairs of the GDR, and before the formal signing of the agreement, the GDR was still under Soviet occupation!" Seryosha reaffirmed to Kohl the current position of the GDR, and the subtext was to emphasize the decisive role of the Soviet Union in the merger of the two Germanys.

"Well, we agree to your country's request to allow Honecker to leave Germany! Do you have any more questions? Cole said dejectedly.

"No, I think all the barriers have been removed between our two countries! Congratulations, Chancellor Kohl, you have restored the unity of Germany! "Seryosha, having received what the USSR wanted, took the initiative to extend his hand to congratulate Kohl. In fact, Seryosha still has a sentence hidden in his heart, what the Gorky Group wants will be taken by himself.

Although the reunification of Germany was a major failure of the Soviet Union, at present, the focus of the Soviet Union is still on economic construction, and economic construction is inseparable from funds. And from Seryosha's personal point of view, only when Germany is merged, the strong West German mark will leak fatal flaws, and his next plan can be implemented smoothly.

"Does Secretary Ulyanov have any plans for tomorrow?" Prime Minister Kohl suddenly asked Seryosha.

"I want to visit the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburg Gate!" Seryosha replied.

"That's just right, I can arrange for representatives of several other countries to visit together, it's good for peace!" Chancellor Kohl is in a very good mood, and the reunification of Germany is a historical achievement worthy of special mention, and even if he is no longer the leader of Germany, the Germans will always remember his contribution to the integration of the two Germanys.

"Yes, peace is good!" Seryosha responded.

When Seryosha said this, he did so from the bottom of his heart. The experience of dying in Afghanistan has long made Seryosha understand the cruelty of war. If he hadn't been in a hurry and used the poisonous gas created by the chemical reaction to poison the jihadists in a town, he might not have survived today, and he would have been beheaded by the mujahideen with knives and then filmed into a video tape and sent to the media. And now, the Red Army, retreating from Germany, will take off its uniforms and join the economic construction of the Soviet Union, which is in full swing, working for a better future. Isn't that much better than being near the Iron Curtain of the Berlin Wall, guarding against the West all day long?

The next morning, Seryosha visited the Brandenburg Gate, accompanied by Chancellor Kohl, and visited the Berlin Wall with representatives of the United States, Britain and France. The Berlin Wall has completely lost its defensive function, and graffiti is everywhere on the wall. When Seryosha passed by a checkpoint, he also communicated with the guards here for a while.

But just when Seryosha thought that today's trip would end easily, he suddenly saw a young blonde man with a camera in the crowd. Seryosha looked at him for a long time, and he also looked at Seryosha, and finally had to wave his hand with Seryosha from afar.

This person is none other than Vladimir, whom he hasn't seen for a long time!

"Is that tourist over there one of us?" Seryosha asked quietly to the Soviet security guards beside him. Instead of answering Seryosha's questions right away, the security guards went down to confirm Vladimir's identity. After a while, the security personnel replied to Seryosha: "It's a secret agent sent by the KGB, who has been ordered to protect you!" ”

"I know him, he is my friend from Leningrad University, you go and arrange it, I want to have lunch with him at noon!" Seryosha commanded.

The staff did as Seryosha instructed. After the visit, Vladimir was brought to Seryosha.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, are you okay?" Seryosha greeted Vladimir.

"Secretary Ulyanov! I ...... "Vladimir obviously did not expect that Seryosha actually remembered him, and he was even so excited that some books were speechless!

"Call me Seryosha!" Seryosha patted Vladimir on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and personally poured him a cup of black tea.

"You're in charge of intelligence here?" Seryosha asked again.

"Yes!" Vladimir replied stiffly.

"Would you like a change of work environment? Like going back to Leningrad? Seryosha asked again.

"Hmm...... Yes? "Vladimir was at a loss, he didn't understand what Seryosha meant by this, did he want to recruit himself? It would be great if that were the case.

"Professor Sobchak is now the chairman of the Supreme Soviet in Leningrad, you can work there for a while! What do you think? Seryosha asked again.

"Ah, well, thank you, thank you, Seryosha!" Vladimir said happily, Leningrad, now is a good place to get promoted to politics!
