Chapter 33 Are you threatening me?
The main negotiation was led by Petrovic, and Selov sat in the back row to hear if there were any constructive opinions. At present, it seems that no! Both sides are basically in a state of talking to themselves, and at the same time blocking each other's views. After listening to diplomatic rhetoric for more than ten minutes, in order to avoid falling asleep, they could only take out the drawing board to divert their attention. From time to time, they looked up at the opposite expression. The representatives of the Federal Republic of Germany were just making up the numbers, and the representatives of the United States were obviously not paying attention to this negotiation. The representatives of Britain and France were mainly negotiated with Petrovic.
This also shows the attitude of the representatives of the Three Kingdoms towards this talk. The United States believes that advance can attack and retreat and defend, but the Soviet Union has no choice but to do it, and it clearly does not care about the results of the negotiations. Britain and France can feel the power of the Soviet Union more intuitively in Europe, especially France, which is not willing to follow the American baton, and its attitude is more positive than other representatives. While listening to nonsense without nutrition, Selov kept brushing his pen on the drawing board...
"Mr. Petrovic, please be sure to tell the Soviet government that only with full sincerity can we achieve results! The current situation in Berlin cannot be changed. This is the result of our leaders after the end of World War II!" The British representative expressed his opinion.
"The establishment of Democratic Germany has not been approved by our three countries. Even if Germany is unified, it should join NATO!" The American representative who had been silent spoke. Serov, who had been sketching, completed his work, handed the drawing board to Lucani, who was sitting next to him, stepped forward and sat between Petrovic and Democratic Germany, where the position was originally vacant.
"My Soviet Union has decided to transfer the management power of Berlin to Democratic Germany! The Soviet army will not interfere with the management power of the Democratic German government in the future! Comrade Khrushchev, General Secretary, has decided that there is no need to talk about it again!" Selov put an end to the matter on the table with his hands, pointing to the representative of Democratic German next to him and said, "In the future, when negotiating on the Berlin issue, you can directly communicate with the Democratic German government..."
He paused and continued, "As for our Soviet attitude, dear representatives have always known that Germany can naturally be unified. After all, they are all of them, and unification is better than splitting into two countries! But it is absolutely impossible for Germany to join NATO after unified. The Germans are not incompetent and must join one side to develop. Our four countries' occupation forces withdraw from Germany. Germany's neutralization is in line with the wishes of our four countries and the people of Germany! Our other countries can sign contracts with Germany to complete neutralization and avoid the current tension..."
Germany was unified and became a neutral country. The source of this proposition within the Soviet Union can be traced back to Beria. Before Beria fell, Khrushchev was an active promoter of German reunification. After Beria fell, Khrushchev was currently in the position of avoiding a full-scale confrontation, so he also recognized Germany's unification and neutrality. Although Khrushchev wanted to live peacefully with the United States, the Americans did not buy it. At this time, the Soviet Union felt the pressure of suffocating twenty years later. Khrushchev's kindness was repeatedly ignored. After the hopelessness of easing, the Soviet Union still entered the track of a full-scale confrontation with the United States. From the late Khrushchev's period, the arguments within the Soviet Union that Germany should be unified and neutral disappeared.
"The establishment of a democratic Germany was not approved by our three countries. It was your Soviet Union who acted alone. Germany must join NATO. The agreement should be based on this foundation, otherwise there would be no need for negotiations!" The attitude of the US representative was that the Soviet Union would make concessions, otherwise there would be no need for negotiations.
"What a powerful imperialist face. A unified Germany must join NATO? Instead of being neutral? Let Germany tied to your chariots as cannon fodder, right? The neutrality and easing proposal that the Soviet Union wanted was directly regarded as waste paper? Let Germany join you while continuing to threaten the survival of the Soviet Union? If there is no need for negotiation if there is no agreement?" Selov nodded while knocking on the table. Only Iseymotney's machine was still running in the entire conference room, and in addition, it is possible to hear the needle.
"Americans, do you think you have to take the Soviet Union?" Selov asked sarcastically, "Do you think the Soviet Union would agree with this condition? To be reasonable, you ignored the Soviet Union's first establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany, not the first establishment of democratic Germany! Why don't you consider the feelings of the Soviet occupied areas when it was established? Who provoked the trouble and brought the world into a confrontation? It was the Iron Curtain Speech, and you are still the first to be hostile to the Soviet Union! Today you want the Soviet Union to retreat again? I advise you not to dream. As for me, I have not retreated since my work. I believe that a neutral Germany is not controlled by any foreign forces, and it is also in line with the wishes of the German people!"
After saying these words, Petrovic and the representative of Democratic Germany expressed their views separately. Germany's unification can naturally be carried out, but if it is not controlled by any foreign force, there should not be any foreign troops on the territory.
"In the end, West Berlin should not become a military city. You are here to use economic means to suck blood from democratic Germany, causing the population to fade away from democratic Germany, and economic development and construction have been greatly affected. This is very immoral!" Selov added another sentence after Petrovic and his two people finished speaking.
"The garrison of the West Berlin is our right to occupy the troops, and the Soviet Union cannot interfere!" said the US representative toughly.
"The management powers of the entire Berlin and the railways of West Berlin and the waterways of the Soviet Union have been handed over to Democratic Germany. You must accept this! Since we cannot communicate, don't talk. The quaternary talks that once every half month will be put on hold will be time anyway!" Selov's degree of deliberation surprised everyone. The diplomatic system negotiations were accompanied by mutual compromise. It was normal to talk last year or two. What surprised the representatives of the Three Kingdoms was that Selov really prepared for a negotiation and settled the matter.
"Mr. Selov, you have to bear the consequences of the negotiations being put aside!" The American representative said with a dark face and said with a threat.
"Are you threatening me? What is your dependence?" Selov also lowered his face and said, "Since my work, only my enemy has retreated and made concessions, and I have never taken a step back. Don't think that West Berlin has any capital, or that I am now negotiating with you in the West Berlin Municipal Government, you can threaten me! In the entire democratic Germany, there are 400,000 Western clusters of Red Army soldiers, and they can occupy the entire city of West Berlin in two hours!"
"Because there is a big war in Berlin, it is not known who wins and who loses!" The American representative looked very ugly. The Soviet Union opposite was too hateful. He didn't care about his feelings at all. It seemed that he didn't care about the breakdown of the negotiations. Isn't this Soviet man afraid of going back and taking responsibility?
