Chapter 753: The Key to Victory or Defeat
The fourth update
The sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the stairs resounded throughout the Provisional Chancellery, and Merkel's expression was a little anxious, but there was a faint hint of excitement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Info She went to Cole's office door, straightened her collar, and knocked on the office door. After hearing the invitation to enter, she decisively pushed open the door to Cole's office.
Merkel raised the document in her hand, looked at the anxious German Chancellor in front of her, and said excitedly, "Good news, Chancellor Kohl." You should take a look at this. β
Cole raised his head, glanced impatiently at the excited Merkel in front of him, and said in a mocking voice, "It's all up to this time." What better news could there be? Did East Germany voluntarily admit defeat and surrender? That's good news for us. β
Now that Kohl's mind was full of the safety of the Berlin defenders, he had gone from an emotional breakdown of excitement at the beginning to a little numb now. Whether Berlin can hold on or not is no longer up to him, but to heaven. He stood in front of the window of his office, looking in the direction of Berlin, and sighed slowly.
"What if this news is about whether we can hold Berlin?" Merkel said seriously, she handed the document in her hand to Kohl, her face looked very serious, "Maybe you should read this information before making a decision, Chancellor Kohl." Really, this information is about the future of Berlin. β
At Merkel's urging, Cole opened the previous file, and just glanced at the contents twice, and immediately changed his face. He looked up at Cole with horror and confusion in his eyes. Merkel, who was standing in front of him, replied solemnly, "I knew you would be interested in what was inside, Chancellor Kohl." β
"I'm interested, very interested." Kohl put down his other work and said to Merkel, "I'm curious, where did you get this information?" β
"An old friend of mine in East Germany was not an informant either. It's just a very unfortunate participation in this political change. And now he needed to find a bargaining chip in this political maelstrom, so he found the door. β
Merkel said with a smug face, "He told me that there is a huge risk of a rupture within the German Democratic Reconstruction Party." Colonel Jonischkis stubbornly continued to attack Berlin, while the other Panzer Division commanders believed that they did not need to take Berlin, as long as it was enough to secure the current interests and negotiate with the Federal Republic of Germany. And they also realized that Jonishkis was using the attack on Berlin as an excuse to deplete the rest of the men's forces and expand his own motorized rifle division. This caused the displeasure of Peter Primo of the 1st Motorized Rifle Division. This information was top-secret from the top of the 1st Motorized Rifle Division, who claimed that the opposition was now in control and would soon withdraw its troops from Berlin. When the time comes, the rebels who are under control will send a separate delegation to negotiate with us. This is our chance, Prime Minister Cole. β
Once there is a conflict of interests within the group, all the efforts they have made before will be in vain. Kohl realized that his opportunity had come, not to mention recovering Berlin, and possibly even pushing it back, taking the three northeastern states and then sending the German Democratic Renewal Party to the gallows.
"So, is this information reliable?" Cole still has a slight suspicion of the source of the information, and he even suspects that it is a false information spread by the other party in order to lure them into falling for it.
Merkel had long expected Kohl to ask this question, and he reminded the other party by the way, "Just wait for news from the front." β
Merkel pointed to the document on the table, "Isn't it already emphasized in the document?" If they are about to withdraw their troops, and if they really withdraw from Berlin and withdraw to the Celero Heights, then it means that this information is true. Moreover, if it is false, the German Democratic Republican Army does not have any reason to withdraw its troops. They have fought to the last line of defense. A little further and the victory is theirs. β
Merkel's well-reasoned analysis finally brought Kohl to his knees, and he agreed to Merkel's approach.
But Merkel made a pause gesture and a mysterious smile on her lips, "But we do more than that, don't we?" In order to destroy the living forces of the other side, perhaps we should continue the Battle of Berlin. β
Kohl looked up, and when he looked at Merkel, he noticed that in her eyes, in addition to calm and composed, there was a fiery and inflated ambition. Cole motioned for Merkel to continue, he wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
"Now that they've retreated to the Celero Heights, why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue them? Know that their headquarters is in the center of the Celero Heights, and if we take advantage of the victory, we can even annihilate all the attacking forces in one fell swoop. The German Democratic Republican Army has gambled all their forces on Berlin if we can encircle the opposing army group in this battle. There is no need for peace talks with the German Democratic Reconstruction Party in the future. β
Merkel made a gesture to wipe her neck and said very indifferently, "I think these people are no longer qualified to bargain with us, so they will simply annihilate them all in one go, completely pacify East Germany, and save a mess when the time comes." β
"I see." Kohl nodded, subconsciously accepting Merkel's approach, but it may be difficult to annihilate the enemy's living forces, because the lack of troops has always plagued the Bundeswehr.
At this time, the phone on Cole's desk suddenly rang, and he picked up the microphone and whispered that I am Cole.
The call came from the office of the Ministry of Defense building, and Scharping's voice on the phone seemed a little hurried, with a hint of excitement. He tried to control his emotions and said to Kohl, "Withdraw, for some unknown reason, the East German army attacking Berlin has withdrawn." Now we are retaking Berlin little by little, Chancellor Kohl. We held Berlin! β
Kohl raised his head, his expression was a little complicated, he glanced at Merkel, who was sitting opposite, and whispered, "I know, what is the loss of our troops now?" β
Minister Scharpin responded honestly, "The losses are within the acceptable range, except for the rocket attack of the armored forces at the beginning and the bomber air attack logistics supply at the beginning, the overall strength has not suffered too much loss, as long as we hold on to Berlin, our logistics supply can keep up, and the other side will definitely have no chance to capture the city again." And the enemy's tanks are much inferior to the previous attack, I don't know if it's because of the change of T72 tanks, I always feel that the current offensive is not as fierce as before. β
"Yes, because there is a disagreement at the top of the other side, and it is ready to say that there is a coup d'Γ©tat within the German Democratic Reconstruction Party. That's why their offensive will choose to withdraw in a hurry, Minister Sharpin. Cole calmly recounted the astonishing fact, "And now there is another task to be entrusted to you, which is to take the initiative and annihilate all the Democratic Republican Army evacuated to the Celestial Heights." β
"If you don't leave one, you will annihilate them all."
Cole's decision surprised Scharpin, it was already a blessing to hold Berlin, and now he wanted to reverse the fighter plane and eat the other party in one go?
"But...... If you take the initiative, you are likely to be ambushed by the other side. Scharpin was a little hesitant, the troops in his hands were only enough to maintain and defend Berlin, and if he really gambled them all, Scharpin was worried that he would lose everything.
"Believe me, this is the most accurate information, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."
Cole ordered, "I need the Bundeswehr to take down the soldiers who have withdrawn to the Celestial Heights at all costs, do you understand?" Do whatever it takes! β
"Yes, take the German Democratic Republican Army at any cost." Scharping was a little helpless, although this cake looked very tasty, but no one dared to guarantee what kind of conspiracy was hidden behind it.
Cole gave the final order, one that no one could disobey. The Bundeswehr was doomed to the path of destruction on his terms.
And he didn't notice that the corners of Merkel's mouth, who were sitting across from him, had a smile on the corner of her mouth that had succeeded in the conspiracy, and it only calmed down for a moment.
When Kohl gives this order, it means that the Bundeswehr will step into an irreversible abyss.
The last trap had been set, and this time, Yanayev wanted to make Germany lose all its money. (To be continued.) )
