"On April 1, the Soviet Union first intercepted American and then British passenger cars in the Soviet-occupied zone, and when they refused to submit to Soviet inspection, the Soviet side refused to allow them to pass, and on April 3, the Soviet Union blocked the railway traffic from Hamburg and Bavaria in the western occupied zone to Berlin, requiring trains to go to Berlin via Helmstedt. On 11 and 12 June, Berlin was cut off for two days by railway. On the 12th, a road bridge over the Elbe was closed on the grounds of "repairs". And yesterday on the 18th, the Soviet Union cut off all communication links between Berlin and the outside world, and cut off all supplies to West Berlin, and imposed a total blockade of Berlin. Arshile van Acker, who was back as prime minister, read the East German report to Albert, who from time to time took notes on a piece of paper before motioning for the prime minister to continue.

Paul Henry Spark was supposed to be prime minister in 1948, but Albert found a reason to kick that guy to the United Nations and raise his political views with Arshile van Ake as his wing.

"Sure enough, it was not much different from His Highness's prediction, and the Soviet Union really imposed a blockade on East Germany. I just can't figure out what the benefits of this are for the Soviets. ”

"Stalin's foreign policy was to take advantage of the so-called ** fighters to invade the countries of Eastern Europe and to advance his notorious strategy of world revolution, that is, to establish a totalitarian system of the Stalinist kind on the ground and to expand this anti-human system into a world system. According to his words, this war is different from previous wars, and whoever liberates the territory will impose his own social system wherever his army goes, and it is absolutely impossible that this is not the case. After the war, the stupid polar bear still looked at the world's problems with a murderous eye. ”

"Stalin still thought that they might bring the United States and Britain to their knees through a brutal foreign policy, but the United States and Britain did not."

In February 1946, Stalin said in a speech: "The outbreak of war is the inevitable result of the development of the world's economic and political forces on the basis of modern monopoly capitalism. Maozi's ambition and arrogance can be seen.

"That's why His Highness asked us in March to promote the alliance program initiated by the British, and to actively involve France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg joining us in the Treaty of Brussels. It turned out that His Highness had long anticipated the policy of the Soviet Union. "Arshile van Ack made a not-so-clever sycophant.

Albert looked at the Prime Minister a little speechlessly, in the current situation, most countries have felt the pressure of Eastern Europe, why is the Prime Minister of Belgium still so optimistic.

The Brussels Treaty, also known as the Treaty between Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, was signed in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, on March 17, 1948, and entered into force on August 25 of the same year, with a validity period of 50 years. Albert was under the impression that there was also a Brussels Treaty in 1965, which was intended to promote the development of the European Community.

"But Stalin's blockade of military policy is likely to force the United States and Great Britain to make concessions on the German question." Arshile van Ack said worriedly, indeed, although Belgium is in the West German part, but if it really wants to go to war, who can guarantee that the war will not extend to the north of Belgium.

"No, no, no, let me tell the Prime Minister what will happen, that the United States and Britain will come by air to save the daily lives of the people of East Germany. Stalin's brutal blockade policy would not have achieved any effect in the end, and even some had some effect contrary to his expectations. ”

Three months earlier, Albert had entered the GDR with the Holy Grail and left a cache of arms in the city of Leipzig, which was the best use of the Grail's function for smuggling arms. From guns and ammunition to aircraft artillery, it's simply everything.

And how the Resistance that acquired the arms would stir up the troubled waters was not something Albert could control. If the resistance group takes drastic action, not only them, but also the East German masses will certainly be subjected to a frenzied retaliatory attack by the Soviet army, so Albert will provoke the issue of the first Berlin crisis between the United States and the Soviet Union in such a way that it will escalate into a proxy war.

"Also, when the time comes, we will discuss with the War Department that two reserve infantry divisions will be transferred to assist the Ardennes Chasers Division deployed in northern Belgium, and whether the Soviets will make any drastic moves." Albert gave Arshile van Ack a wake-up call.

It is unlikely that the Soviets will send troops openly, but no one can guarantee that this group of Siberian polar bears, who don't know what they are thinking, will suddenly open their minds, fake their own army as the East German army, and then attack in a big way. It's like the little green man in the Ukraine incident. Anyway, I am settled, and I will not admit it, and this approach is also in line with the crude and simple thinking of the Russians.

Under Albert's policy of strengthening the army, the 1st and 2nd Ardennes Chasseur Divisions were heavily equipped with inexpensive 107mm anti-tank guns and RPG rocket launchers to deal with the Soviet army. The original Belgian Ardennes Chasseur equipped with turtle bicycles has gradually been replaced by American Wrangler jeeps, and there are relatively few rich tyrants' small ** teams, so they can be capricious.

The Belgian Air Force, which received US assistance, expanded the original 6 flight squadrons into 9 flight squadrons, and the original 6 equipped with old piston fighters such as Hurricane fighters, Gloucester Gladiators, Goblin Fox, Hawker Typhoon, Spitfire fighters and ** bombers will be gradually retired from the Belgian Air Force, Albert's idea is to replace all Air Force fighters with jet fighters, such as the F4 Phantom fighter that is still under development by CMI Defense.

Albert is gradually building the Belgian army into a small but capable army, which is not yet strong enough to compete with the world's superpowers, but whoever dares to provoke him will have to weigh whether he will be bitten.

"Also, we can take advantage of this incident to control the trend of public opinion, exaggerate the horror of the Soviets, and our determination to strengthen the army, and knock on Congress in this way, and also shock the old guys who are in charge of the money bags, so as to increase military spending." Albert said with a wicked grin.

Arshile Van Ake, who had already stepped on the thief ship, naturally nodded understandingly, and it was also one of his jobs to help His Majesty solve his worries.

"Alright, Prime Minister, if there's nothing to do, let's step down. Later, I will have to discuss the intelligence gathering work about East Germany with the director of the intelligence bureau, so that the guys who have been a little too proud in the military department can be mentally prepared. ”
