Chapter 1701: Buying the Garrison
Allen Wilson also gave Arnold information from a Soviet commander in the GDR that there were Germanic people in the Soviet Union called Volga Germans. This group originated from an edict during the time of Ekaterina the Great, a time when conditions within Germany were so bad that many Germans emigrated to Imperial Russia.
Nowadays there are about two million Volga Germans in the USSR, and unlike the Germans expelled from Eastern Europe after the war, the Volga Germans stayed in the USSR.
Two million can not be considered a small base, the Soviet Army certainly exists Volga Germans as an ethnic group, taking into account the special characteristics of the Soviet Army stationed in the territory of the GDR, certainly need the daily communication with the GDR the existence of people, whether there is a commander of this ethnic group among the Soviet Army in Germany, is Allen Wilson want to figure out the matter.
There may or may not have been, but the intelligence brought by Aliksheyev indicated that there really was, but it was a deputy, not the number one person in a division. In this case, though, Alan Wilson thought about it and decided to look for a break in Yakovlev, the Soviet propaganda boss, who had little to go on.
This is the result that the free world hopes to get, a hall of the highest level of the Soviet Union, even if it is in charge of the Ministry of Propaganda, is a foreign garrison division commander arrangements can not be done?
For this kind of traitor in the top, Alan Wilson is not polite, let Arnold first find this deputy division commander of the garrison, and then sent the British Embassy diplomats in Moscow, directly to Yakovlev to ask for his help, all to this time, the Soviet Union’s KGB certainly has not fallen, but it is already not as deterrent as it used to be.
Yakovlev was certainly taken aback by the British on the doorstep, but under the reason of the reality of the threat as usual, decided to communicate with the Ministry of Defense.
But is a deputy division commander in the GDR to correct the problem, now the map head are beginning to withdraw from foreign garrisons, may be when there is a second round of withdrawal, overseas garrisons are people’s hearts and minds, the domestic defense ministry is also anxious, is not not to make an effort.
Got Yakovlev’s promise, Alan Wilson once again built up the bridge between the two good son, let Arnold come out to meet this soon-to-be-improved division commander, the red flag thirty-fifth motorized infantry division deputy division commander Sadak, under the jurisdiction of the seven regiments of combat troops.
In a very confident tone, Arnold divulged the news that Sadak would soon be put in his place, which the Volga German did not believe; he had not been informed of this.
“Division Commander Sadak, even in Moscow, our information is accurate.” How did Arnold know if the information was accurate or not, but that didn’t stop him from saying so. It was impossible for a man of his rank to know of Yakovlev’s existence, but he trusted his father, the British cabinet secretary.
Sadak’s misgivings did not mean that they could not be communicated, and Arnold was still firmly in control of the tempo, stating that the way things were going, anyone could see that the Soviet Union was in trouble, and that as a division commander of a garrison of an important ally, Sadak could think about himself, and even if he didn’t think about himself, he should think about his family.
“Think about what the Soviet Union can offer you. A house that isn’t exactly luxurious, a steady job, you’re a general, a commander of an elite unit, you rightfully deserve more.”
Arnold began to compel, “Let alone you, many of the top brass in Moscow right now are wondering what they can get with the power in their hands, the state corporations talk a good game, is that yours? And as long as you can cooperate with us at the right time, not to mention you, even your entire division’s men will be benefited without having to take even a rice cooker with you when you return home.”
Arnold did not know that his father was going to take care of this commander, what was the final goal, but apparently he was still aware of his role as a toolman, since his father asked for this, and he did not care about anything outside of the body, and painted the cake without any softness at all, and came back from a turn in the Japanese stock market is hard.
Come to think of it, a few decades ago, in British India back to Europe Alan Wilson, is also the same so hard, even more hard than the current Arnold.
The supreme authority had worked hard for decades, and today he could finally justify commanding his sons and charging into battle instead of himself, and he could sit back and come to one and pan the machine gun thirty centimeters.
“What are you doing?” Pamela Mountbatten inquired helplessly as she returned home and eyed her husband with a look of turning his back on the world.
“I’m going to focus mostly on the military.” Alan Wilson was finding his senses, his mouth hanging on the classic quote from Chang Gong, “Darling, you don’t realize how important this present time is.”
Cut, as if you could run the Soviet Union, Pamela Mountbatten didn’t realize that her husband really could, but he probably didn’t have a lot of time these days, the last six months Alexeev had been so busy with disaster relief that getting in touch was a bit of a challenge, sometimes he wouldn’t respond to inquiries about things for days.
The location of the disaster relief in Armenia, last December, a large tremor shook the Armenian region located in southern Russia. Four minutes later there was an aftershock of magnitude six. The town of Spitak was completely flattened and most of its 20,000 inhabitants were killed.
It is rare for an earthquake to cause such devastation. In Leninakan, Armenia’s largest city, 50 kilometers from the epicenter, four-fifths of the buildings were destroyed, and in the nearby city of Kirovakan, almost every building collapsed.
Although Moscow has promised to rebuild and make Armenia whole and new within two years, one can tell just by looking at the gradual dysfunction of Moscow’s center already that it’s not that simple.
Arikseyev in the KGB meeting, mobilized the KGB border guards to participate in the disaster relief, looking at the various factions in Moscow to squeeze each other, he also focused on the disaster relief above to an out-of-sight, out-of-mind, but with Armenia’s first secretary Arutyunyan established a good friendship.
Arikseyev busy overseeing the reconstruction of Armenia, natural and Allen Wilson’s contact is intermittent, Allen Wilson also understand, after all, a good big child by the Soviet Union for many years of education, but taught into this way, this is really Foltseva teach out of it?
The Soviet Union is still worthy of attention, Allen Wilson talked about the significance of the new position of the head of the map, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, at 10 Downing Street, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet is not a new title, but there is no such thing as today is so meaningful, if you look at the Soviet Union’s news now, the position of the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet has been the first position of the head of the map, which means that this and the speaker of the parliament, almost the same as the other positions, has more than the other positions and has become a symbol of the leader of the Soviet Union.
“Maphead has also been challenged within the Soviet Union, and I’ve heard that one of the Soviet commissars is now pontificating against his ban on alcohol.” Alan Wilson mentions the latest changes in the Soviet Union now.
The man who slammed Maphead at the Supreme Soviet was not being a human being, but later Russia’s first president, the Chetan, who was connoted by the free world as an alcoholic.
At this point the Chetan absolutely deserved the hat the free world had put on him, and one of the first things he did when he returned to politics was to fiercely attack Maphead’s ban on alcohol, believing it to be a decision made without regard for reality and a slap of the brain.
On this matter alone, the Chetan’s diatribe was justified; if it were the old days, Maphead would have been able to get this contrarian fool out of his sight with a single look.
But now is different, the qidan people’s commissioner position, is elected by the people, the map head can no longer through the former authority to let the qidan people quietly get out of the way.
Parliamentary system, since the choice to use the identity of the Supreme Soviet to speak, it is necessary to accept the disadvantages of the parliamentary system, the Chetan people even if the map head spit, he can not do anything, you chose it.
From now on, the next five hundred days, is the Chetan people continue to launch an attack, map head gradually found that this original one hand can pinch the horse, become their own political opponents in the process.
“Maphead’s challenger?” Mrs. Thatcher frowned, cautiously expressing her favorable opinion of Map Head, “It’s probably too early to tell, isn’t it?”
“Let’s be honest, no country using a parliamentary system has been able to escape political fragmentation, and it can’t be assumed that the Soviet Union will be that exception.” Alan Wilson turned the tables and said, “But the upside is that we can be sure that Maphead is even less energized about Eastern Europe, and might as well make bolder moves there.”
That was a pure lie, Maphead could definitely still interfere in the Eastern European countries, except that the original set wouldn’t work anymore, only more shady tactics would have to be used, depending on whether or not Dahl could send reliable information in a timely manner.
“Let’s just focus our main attention on Germany.” Mrs. Thatcher would still choose Germany if she had a choice between Germany and the Soviet Union, after all, Germany was closer.
“I believe the outcome is optimistic.” Already bought a garrison commander thing, Alan Wilson thought, the prime minister is still in a hundred busy, no you have to know such a small thing.
As the Prime Minister of the British Empire, a division commander really can not talk about how much weight, not to mention a Soviet division commander, Allen Wilson care is more or less the same, once the situation in the GDR has changed, Arnold can be the first time to understand the movement, to nip the danger in the bud.
