Chapter 832: A dilemma
Stepping on the docks of Glefoswald in a down-to-earth manner, Comrade Victor realized the thrill of escaping death. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info If it weren't for the timely appearance of the modern class, I'm afraid that this batch of MiG-29 fighters would have to be seized in the hands of the Federal Republic of Germany. Fortunately, air-to-air missiles and cannons are transported separately, and even if they are seized by the federal government, he can justifiably retort, "Can't our customers buy fighter jets to spray pesticides?" What the? Who will spend tens of millions to sprinkle pesticides? My client is happy to do that. ā
The port of Glevoswald has been heavily guarded, and these fighters are the foundation of the German Democratic Republican Army Air Force, which no longer relies solely on Beech anti-aircraft missiles, but can form an integrated air-ground combat mode.
"Don't worry, sir."
The officer, dressed in a gray tweed coat, patted his chest and assured him, "Although at sea we dare not bet that we are the opponents of the German Federal Navy, on land they do not dare to attack either." ā
The other party blinked skillfully and whispered, "The shore-based missiles sold last time are deployed here to prevent a sudden attack by the frigate of the Federal Navy." Even though East Germany did not have sea power, the port was still very safe. Here we are, the Soviet naval infantry is also here, and the Bundeswehr will not dare to choose to land here. ā
Victor touched his nose and did not speak, the matter of strategic issues was not something that he, an arms dealer, needed to think about. As an international professional arms dealer, in addition to taking risks, what is more important is professional ethics. Even if his head was lost in the Baltic, the MiG fighters and bombers on the ship did not dare to lose a single part.
There is also the selective ignorance of certain secrets of the customer.
Once the remaining funds are in the house, Victor's mission is complete. He then had to return to Moscow via Romania, where the convoy of the Federal Navy had been blocked.
Jonishkis was so pleased with the efficiency of his good friend Victor that he even invited him to Berlin for a drink.
Victor was exhausted, he politely rejected the other party's kindness, and kindly reminded the other party by the way, "The Federal Republic of Germany should be in trouble, and you still owe each other an explanation about today's freighters and ships." I don't know how the information was leaked, but I think the GDR side should have been more vigilant, and if it weren't for the modern confrontation, the fighters would have arrived at the port of Hamburg by now. ā
"This batch of arms is very important to us, and we owe you a favor, Mr. Victor." Jonishkis said gratefully.
Victor seriously corrected the other party's statement, "It's not that you owe me a favor, you owe the Soviet Union a favor." It was not me who saved the East German Air Force, it was the Soviet Union. ā
The offside behavior of the Hyundai-class destroyer made the Federal Republic of Germany very angry, and the other side even wanted to try to ram the Saxony-class frigate with the ship, if it were not for the navy choosing to back down, I am afraid that more than a hundred corpses would have to float on the sea today.
"What are you eating, a Saxony-class destroyer with a comparable tonnage is actually cowardly, are you navy or not, if you can't fight, let the First Fleet send other ships patrolling the nearby waters to support, can't you win one against two? Where did the spirit of single-handedly fighting the British fleet go? You are simply traitors to the German Confederation! ā
Kohl was furious, and the intelligence service reported that there was indeed a shipment of weapons destined for the GDR on the ship, although it was not known what they were. But it is clear that the international embargo convention has been violated.
The commander-in-chief of the First Fleet of the Federal Navy in anger did not dare to refute, they were more afraid of making things bigger than the Soviet Union, Mao Zi went crazy, not to mention two Saxony-class, even if it was three Brandenburg-class, they could complete a beautiful triple kill. Don't you see the Los Angeles-class submarine in the Barents Sea that almost sank to the bottom of the sea in what tragic posture it was?
"Forget it, although the German fleet has always been more successful than defeated, but this time it finally did a good thing. You have at least been informed of the invasion of the Baltic Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy into German waters, and then the Federal Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany will put pressure on the Soviet Union. ā
Cole, who thought he had caught the handle, naturally did not miss the opportunity to blame the Soviet Union. He lashed out at the other side for violating the international embargo convention and for instructing the Baltic Navy to invade German waters, and that the Federal Republic of Germany was ready for war, and in retaliation, their ships would completely blockade the waters of East Germany and prohibit any ships from navigating the ports occupied by the German Democratic Republicans.
Kohl was confident that the Soviet Union and East Germany would definitely give in this time, because they would not have the upper hand in either way, and they would no longer be able to do so after the East Window incident. The German ambassador to Moscow met several times with Foreign Minister Shevardnadze to protest against the invasion of the Soviet fleet.
"We strongly oppose the terrible incident of the unauthorized invasion of German waters by the Soviet fleet, and if you do not give an accurate political answer, we will tear up the ceasefire agreement and send ground troops to retaliate!"
The righteous protest finally came to the perfunctory investigation of Shevardnadze.
The angry ambassadors couldn't do anything to the other party except for a glance at him.
But things were still unexpected for him.
The Baltic Fleet claimed that it was a mistake on the part of the captain, citing that the commander of the Hyundai-class destroyer at the time had placed the order after placing the vodka. It was not a direct order of the Soviet troops, and the official German rebuttal was purely vexatious.
Smiryev also replied eloquently, "This is not our matter of the Soviet Red Navy, it is a personal matter of the captain, and we have already dealt with it harshly internally." Originally, our Hyundai-class only happened to pass near German waters, and did not directly intrude into territorial waters for confrontation. The Soviet captain had already admitted to directing the fleet after he had drunk himself. ā
When the German ambassador to the USSR asked what the suspension would be, Smiryev replied solemnly.
"We also gave him a one-month suspension."
The act that almost started the war between the two countries ended up being punished only by stopping for a month? Cole really wanted to dig out the heads of those hats and see what was going on inside them!
The arms had successfully reached East Germany, and Kohl could not sue the other side for the sale of the embargoed weapons without proof of his death, unless he could not bear it anymore and tore his face at the last minute and declared war.
This undoubtedly laid the last brick wall for Krenz to ascend to the position of German chancellor.
Yanayev calculated this step before he dared to take a posture of ignoring Germany.
Cole is caught in an awkward dilemma. (To be continued.) )
