Chapter 176

The Soviet Union treated Germany harshly.

The other defeated countries were also destined for harsh treatment. But compared to France, where the Communist Resistance seized Paris and proclaimed the Fourth Republic, or Italy, where the monarchy deposed Mussolini at the last minute and the Allies divided the occupation, Germany was wickedly sinful.

The world was horrified as Germanys atrocities were revealed one by one.

[Nazi Germanys crimes exposed: extermination camps found in Poland]

[Germanys human experiment data, a collection of inhuman experiments, revealed]

The Soviet army had a very good excuse to dig up these war crimes.

They maintained a thoroughly gentlemanly attitude towards the civilians who had committed less heinous crimes.

On the other hand, the perpetrators of war crimes, such as soldiers, scientists who were suspected of being involved in human experiments, or engineers and technicians who could be accused of slave labor, were all singled out.

Search! We got a tip that hes here!

Yes! You go that way! Well break in from this side!

Many scientists tried to escape, but they all failed. The sharp eyes of the NKVD did not let these innocent civilians get away.

Wernher von Braun? Is that you?

Ah, no! Im that uh

Confused by his own alias, the middle-aged man with a fake mustache and thick horn-rimmed glasses panicked when a young man in a Soviet uniform called his name in perfect German. He dropped his luggage and tried to run away.

But before he knew it, burly soldiers surrounded him and pointed their guns at him. Shaking with fear, he raised his hands high. Two agents with blue hats of the NKVD grabbed his arms.

Come on, lets go. You have some kind of charges against you, but I dont know much about them Anyway, lets go!

Ah ah please, spare me.

Oh, come on, do we look like those brutal bastards who kill people indiscriminately?

Of course, they were brutal bastards who killed people indiscriminately, but von Braun couldnt say a word and just shook his head frantically.

The NKVD agent made a joke in awkward German.

Huhuhuhu, we wont eat you, so follow us. Were not that bad, you know?

As the war neared its end, the Fhrer became obsessed with super weapons to turn the tide and invested massive resources and manpower.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

The brightest minds of the German Empire received huge budgets under this policy and built their own research achievements.

Of course, these innovative research results did not lead to a tremendous increase in power, and Germany eventually lost the war.

Hahahaha! Come out, everyone! Well take you gently!

Eeeek!

Oops! If you try to sabotage the data here, hmm theres a special reservation for you in the gulag near the Arctic! If you want to spend your last years comfortably in a pen, come out quietly or if you like ice a lot, you can sabotage! Do you have a lot of ice lovers in your family?

The scientists and technicians who worked in the laboratories and factories had no time to escape as Berlin was reduced to ashes and the war ended.

And most of them were dragged away by the NKVD agents who stormed in in no time. There were various charges they could apply.

Germany was desperately short of labor in various fields, and they purged their own people by accusing them of being Jews, defeatists, and various other charges, and then mobilized the residents of the occupied territories or prisoners of war for slave labor.

Almost every research institute and factory was not free from this problem.

The Soviet Union arrested those who worked there on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The US army had not yet entered the German liberation zone, and the disarmed German army could not resist.

The officers and generals were the first to be taken away, so there was no one to command.

Wow this is amazing! Not as much as Magnitogorsk, but

No time to admire! Hurry, hurry, move!

Yes!!

Lets tear Germany into three pieces, excluding Austria, as planned.

Yes, the U.S. Secretary of State Hull approved the German partition plan.

Additionally well give Alsace-Lorraine and Saarland to France, Sudetenland to Czechoslovakia, Oder-Neisse east and East Prussia to Poland

The Soviet Union and the United States agreed on one thing for sure.

They tear Germany apart. From the state to the industrial capacity and territory. Germanys future could not escape what the U.S. and the Soviet Union agreed on.

Limit the steel production to 3 million tons. The automobile industry scale to 10% of the pre-war level. This is all we take and if the U.S. wants some, let them have it.

The U.S. is so interested in the atomic bomb that they will give us everything we ask for.

Really? Then lets act like we can give them one more if they say they enriched nuclear material.

Germany would now be an agricultural country. Before the war, Germany mainly exported heavy industrial products, but the U.S. and the Soviet Union had no intention of leaving them alone. Coal, coke, leather products and beer, wine and other beverages, and textiles?

They limited the secondary industry to light industry, produced light industrial products that the Soviet Union needed, exported them at a cheap price, and imported heavy industrial products produced by the Soviet Union at a high price. It was literally a subcontracting factory that was our German plan.

The chronic problem that always shook the Eastern bloc in real history was the lack of consumer goods and food. By incorporating France, the best agricultural country in Europe, into the socialist bloc, they solved the food problem, and made Germany, an industrial country, a light industrial production base by boosting the heavy industry.

In addition, by dividing China into two and making the Peoples Republic of China an agricultural production base and a light industrial product production base, they could solve the Soviets chronic problem of heavy industry bias.

Ah! But there was a problem with the U.S. here.

Hmm? What is it?

Molotov handed out a report as if he had just remembered. The title was written in large letters on the report.

<Kriegsmarine Reparation Ship Handling Agreement>? Huh

He picked up the report and read it hastily, and it seemed that what had not risen for a while might suddenly stand up.

The German navy had fortunately not lost their battleships until the end and blocked the U.S., but eventually they lost to us.

The battleships they preserved were handed over to the Soviet army without sinking like at Scapa Flow.

Of course, we deliberately did not attack them because we wanted to swallow them.

The U.S. coveted this fleet and drooled, claiming their share.

Renaming the battleship Bismarck to Leningrad or Tirpitz to Moscow and making everything Soviet was a tempting choice.

But but the romance of men was always the big ship and the big gun, but the era was the era of aircraft carriers. I knew that fact too well, so I had to make a decision.

Battleships you can give them all but bring the submarines and aircraft carriers and bring the technicians from Germany here.

Ah yes, Comrade Secretary General.

Molotov hesitated as he saw me looking gloomy, but soon bowed his head. Ah, battleships

Anyway, battleships are literally something to have or to throw away, so just give them to the U.S. as a gesture. German, French, Italian, just all of them!

Is is that so?

They were monsters that required thousands of people and ate up maintenance costs, but they were inevitably weak against aircraft carriers.

If there were nuclear weapons, missiles, and aircraft carriers, why would they need battleships!

It was just because they were cool.

But be sure to bring the carriers and submarines. Got it?

Yes! Comrade Secretary General!

With the minimum deterrence, they developed carriers and maintained naval and air force bases across Eurasia to create a spatial barrier between the U.S. and us. It would be much better to go quietly than to provoke a competition with the U.S. if we increased our armaments.

In Europe, places like Brest in France, Hamburg in Germany, Norway.

In Asia, places like Jeju Island or Hokkaido, Tonkin Bay in Vietnam, where they set up submarine bases and developed SSBNs, they could have at least some deterrence.

We should not be complacent with the power we have now and get along well with the U.S.

There is still a lot to eat.
