The first update

One of the biggest headaches for German Chancellor Kohl is the increasingly modern Soviet armed forces. After the appearance of the www.biquge.info in Georgia, Kohl's inner fear began to magnify infinitely, and this deep-seated fear was the same as the huge war pressure of West Germany in the face of the East German people's army, so much so that Chancellor Kohl is still thinking about speeding up the construction of the German defense forces.

Although Kohl can only take a peaceful attitude on the issue of refugee flows, the German chancellor appears to be very sober in dealing with the real enemy. He even believed that the Georgian Civil War would upend the perception of Soviet troops in Western Europe. France and Britain appear to be calm on the surface, but in fact they are also secretly studying the transformation of the military's modern combat model.

According to the analysis of the Federal Intelligence Service, the Soviet army was more like a combination of informationization and an offensive of armored groups, retaining both cutting-edge parts and the atmosphere of the old era. It is accurate to express that the current Soviet army is at a transitional stage. After the completion of the "Ogarkov Revolution", the size of the new Soviet army will be reduced, but the military strike capability will be even more terrible than before. So Germany was in an even worse situation, because its armored forces were constantly compressed, and it was impossible to confront the Soviet Union.

In the face of the torrent of steel, Germany naturally needs its own armored forces to balance the situation, but in the face of the modern Soviet army, if Germany does not strengthen the modernization of its own tanks, it will only be beaten by the Soviet army.

At present, in order to ensure the effective combat performance of the Leopard 2 tank in the new century, the German Wehrmacht began to implement the improvement plan of the Leopard 2 tank in the early 90s, and the improved model was initially named the Leopard 2 and finally named the Leopard 2A5 main battle tank.

Major improvements to the Leopard 2A5 include a new enhanced armor component in the forward arc of the turret, replacing the original hydraulic fire control and stabilization system with an all-electric system; improvement of the 120-mm artillery anti-recoil device for the future installation of Rheinmetall's 120-mm L/55 smoothbore gun; The commander's overhead Perir17A2 sight has a thermal imaging channel; The TV camera at the rear of the car body is connected to the monitor screen, allowing the driver to turn quickly and safely; a composite navigation system based on fiber optic technology and global positioning system that can be connected to command and control systems; Improved laser rangefinder data processor.

It sounds like such an advanced tank was also born to cope with future information-based warfare. Kohl was in a slightly better position than Britain and France, because Germany was still facing some Soviet pressure in the east. This is another issue that Kohl is concerned about, and that is the question of the former East German garrison. The Soviet military cluster in Germany, which was supposed to complete the withdrawal in 1994, has not yet been completely withdrawn from East German soil. Coupled with the performance of the Soviet army in the previous war in Georgia, Cole began to worry.

What if the Soviets tried to blackmail Germany with these armed forces?

Before the merger of Germany in 1989, 4 of the 11 tank divisions of the Soviet Army in East Germany had been abolished in advance, and the remaining 15 motorized infantry and tank divisions were abolished. From 1989 to 1994, the Soviet troops in East Germany continued to withdraw from Germany, and of the 19 motorized infantry and tank divisions originally under its command, 1 was withdrawn to Ukraine, 1 was withdrawn to Belarus, and the remaining 17 divisions were all withdrawn to Russia.

However, unlike in history, so far, the Soviets have only evacuated 15 armored divisions, and about 4 of them are still retreating rapidly in East Germany. According to Moscow, does Germany know how laborious it would be to evacuate the elite units of the 8th Guards Army, the 1st Guards Red Banner Tank Army, the 20th Guards Red Banner Army, and the 16th Air Army in East Germany without the help of any country?

So the Western military cluster has been in Germany for almost eight years.

Western military clusters have a large number of heavy equipment and real estate bases in Eastern Europe. In addition, Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries did not support it and refused to provide rail transport. As a result, the entire withdrawal plan was postponed for several years as a result of the extremely inefficient use of air transport in some areas, and some heavy equipment was destroyed on the spot.

By the time Yanayev came to power in 1991, the evacuation had become even more slow, but Moscow had been paying for the military power of the Western bloc, which was like a forgotten army, waiting to return to its homeland.

However, if the Soviet Union's huge armored cluster does not withdraw from Germany, Kohl's heart disease will be delayed for another day, although the Soviet Union wants to deter Europe through Germany has been unable to recover, but Kohl is always worried that there will be a sudden incident, so he has been trying to strengthen the armored force of the German army.

Even if the Soviet Union ceased to exist, the East German armed forces stationed in Germany would still have enough to drink if they wanted to rebel.

"I don't think Chancellor Kohl needs to worry too much about the problems of the GDR, or even about the movements of the so-called Western military clusters, they want to start a war? You'll have to see what qualifications you have. Merkel said with a sneer.

"Do they have the logistics in place? Do you have enough fuel? Besides, how many of the remaining T80 and T64 tanks can be driven and can start a war? Even if they dare to rebel, it will only be a repression for us, and the Soviet army has no foundation here. ”

"We should be more concerned about the problem of refugees now, everyone knows that the current bad economic situation and refugee situation in Germany affect the mood of the people, if these problems cannot be properly solved, it will become the focus of the problem that affects the stability of Germany."

Merkel subtly diverted Kohl's question from the sight of the East German garrison.

"You're right, we've already paid a lot of money to the Soviets before, so as soon as they completely evacuate from Germany, our heart will really fall." Cole nodded.

"Chancellor Kohl could also try to pressure the Soviet Union to withdraw the last of its troops from East Germany as soon as possible, otherwise Germany would use coercive protests to expel the Soviet military garrisons and make room for refugees entering Europe." ”

Merkel is digging a pit waiting for her beloved chancellor to jump down. Of course, these troops, who had been completely withdrawn from Germany, were also the second chess pieces that Yanayev had planted in Germany.

It's just the last part of the people who are firmly left behind, still waiting for an opportunity. (To be continued.) )
