When all the things that needed to be sent away by express were done, the three of them took a taxi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info head to the Fairmont Four Seasons Hotel on the shores of Lake Alster.

I haven't taken a good shower for a few days, and although I have changed my clothes in the warehouse in the port area, I still need to find a hotel with enough conditions to take a good rest.

The three of them have been tired enough in the past few days - more than 1,500 paintings!

After checking in smoothly, Zhang Nan didn't go to take a bath first, but made a call to the Long Island Manor. It was still morning in New York, and Nicole hadn't left for the Empire State Building office yet.

"Nicole, I have two packages just sent from Hamburg today, one is FedEx and the other is DHL Courier, things are very important! You explain to the bodyguards on duty, these two couriers will be handed over to you or Jenny as soon as they arrive, lock them in the safe and don't open them, and wait for me to come back." ”

In fact, even if Nicole and others want to open it, it will take some effort - they are all paper items, and the courier company only determines the composition of the thing when it receives the goods, but it doesn't matter what the text content is.

Because it is a high-value insurance policy and a high-payment courier order, the packaging is not an ordinary cardboard box or a large envelope, but a fireproof and waterproof sealed box, and a lock.

The key will be in the bag that Zhang Nan carries with him.

On the other side, Nicole was also very happy to receive a call from her lover: during this time, Zhang Nan had been couriering things back to New York from Europe, many of which were gifts for the two of them and artworks that decorated the manor.

However, it is the first time to solemnly explain the importance of a certain item, especially since the two major express companies are transported separately, but do not violate the regulations of air transportation, these two items are obviously extremely important and special.

No need to ask, Nicole knows what's important.

"Got it, dear, are you still in Germany?"

"Well, staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hamburg, I'm going to have to get in touch to book a flight to Moscow later. ”

Hearing this, Nicole said: "I checked it two days ago, and it seems that Hamburg does not have a plane to the Soviet Union, and West Germany can only go to Frankfurt or West Berlin to take a plane to the Soviet Union." ”

"It doesn't matter, I'm just going to see the Berlin Wall, and I guess it will take a few days to book tickets. ”

"Stay safe, I've heard it's scary!"

"Terrible", Nicole is not referring to the Soviet Union, but to the location near the Berlin Wall, which is not a good place to visit.

There are so many legends about the Berlin Wall, and the propaganda machine of the Americans has always spared no effort to slander the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc!

In particular, the Berlin Wall, which has many grievances, has attracted the attention of the United States and the entire Western media every time there is a disturbance.

How many years of propaganda have gone deep into the bones.

"Rest assured, my dear, I know that the Berlin Wall is on the territory of the GDR, and it will not be okay to run over and get shot yourself. ”

In fact, Zhang Nan is exaggerating: the Berlin Wall, officially known as the "Anti-Fascist Defense Wall", is a border defense system established by the German Democratic Republic on its own territory around the border of West Berlin.

Instead of being built close to the border between East and West Germany, the wall was still a short distance from West German territory.

There are many legends about the Berlin Wall, but the most terrifying one is true: East German residents will be shot if they smuggle into West Germany! But even so, there have always been people fleeing to West Germany for more than 20 years!

There were many ways to cross the Berlin Wall, and one of them was only used once, and it was only used once, but the guards were stunned and unable to react: someone saw that the steel crossbar at the border gate was not particularly short in height after being lowered, so he went to find a sports car that was short enough, and rushed through it with a throttle while waiting for the pass to be checked!

However, this method is only possible at a very small number of checkpoints in East and West Berlin, because today's Berlin Wall is not a simple wall at all, it is a full-fledged border defense system!

The Berlin Wall between East and West Berlin is actually two parallel walls, separated by a distance of about 150 meters, and the area in between is the so-called "Death Zone"!

In the death zone there are police dogs, lookout machine gun towers, floodlights, searchlights, barbed wire, roadblocks for vehicles and armed guards.

Many of those who crossed the Berlin Wall passed through the first wall and then died in this short death zone!

This 96-mile, or 155-kilometer-long border, encircles the whole of West Berlin and isolates it from East Berlin and the surrounding East German countryside.

Not only did the Berlin Wall cut off the passage of East Germans to West Germany, but another barrier on the border between the two countries was even more exaggerated: along the 850-mile line between East Germany and West Germany, another defense system built by East Germany completely blocked the passage of East Germans to the west – more than 1 million mines were planted along the route alone!

In fact, all this was done to prevent the East Germans from fleeing, not to prevent others from breaking into the GDR. Therefore, like the Berlin Wall in East Berlin, even if the people on the West Berlin side are close to the Berlin Wall and have already stepped on the territory of East Germany, as long as they do not try to climb over or destroy the Berlin Wall, the East German soldiers in the machine gun towers on the wall will ignore and turn a blind eye.

It's just that the average West Berliner doesn't like to hang out there - it's unpleasant to look at that wall, and it's breathless!

However, due to the depth of Berlin's territory in East Germany, West Berlin was a West German enclave surrounded by East German territory, so according to the relevant agreement, West Berliners could drive through East German territory to other parts of West Germany by driving through several roads confirmed by the agreement.

This gave some East Germans hope of escaping the GDR: the driver of the super-short sports car was not an East German, but the girlfriend sitting next to him was a man who ran away as soon as he stepped on the accelerator.

It has been calculated that after the Berlin Wall was officially built, more than 5,000 people managed to escape from East Germany in a variety of ways: hiding in secret compartments in cars driven by West Germans, flying over the Berlin Wall in hot air balloons, passing through tunnels dug by West Berliners under the Berlin Wall, swimming across Berlin's canals or rivers, or simply crossing the border, and most bizarrely, loading themselves into homemade catapults and launching them as cannonballs!

In the beginning, the Berlin Wall had only one wall, and in several places it was next to the buildings of the GDR, and the closest distance between them was less than a meter!

Of course, there are many people who break their legs, and every time they encounter such an incident, the residents of West Berlin will immediately rush to the rescue to prevent those who cross the border from being shot by the sentries.

Later, the East German government demolished all the houses near the Berlin Wall and built the "death zone"!

Hundreds, if not thousands, were killed while trying to escape the GDR, and many more were imprisoned.

The question of how many people died while crossing the border between East and West Germany may never be understood.

So as soon as he heard Nicole talk about the flight problem, Zhang Nan decided to go to West Berlin for a transfer - they were all reborn and went to Germany, and it was definitely a pity not to see the Berlin Wall!

Sure enough, after taking a shower, they talked about it with Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan, and both agreed to go to Berlin for a transfer.

These two people's "feelings" for the Berlin Wall are deeper than Zhang Nan's, and they are definitely a strange existence in the socialist world, and the Chinese people, especially those who have served in the army, can be described as thunderous about it!

If you have a chance to take a look, you can't hurry!

"Actually, we should have gone to Neuschwanstein Castle when we were in Munich, but only next time. ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Nan's words, Xiang Weirong said: "You should go with the girls, there is a promotional material for the castle in the hotel, it's very beautiful, and the three big men go to sway and obstruct the scenery."

But Anan, last time your sister said that you have so many girlfriends, what should Ali and Xiaoxu do?"

Zhang Nan smiled bitterly, "Besides, at most, the king will not see the king." (To be continued.) )
