Chapter 420: Pushing the Wall (Medium)
"Lee, you want to see the Berlin Wall, we'll take you around tomorrow. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Nicholas said.
The reason why it was possible to go around in circles was because the west of West Berlin was still the land of East Germany, that is, West Berlin "went deep behind enemy lines", so East Germany built a wall instead of a barbed wire fence.
"Okay." Li Mo replied casually.
Today is November 7th, the crowds of the march have dispersed and calm has returned to the streets of East Berlin.
Which wall did Li Mo look at......
The wall has a total of seven transit passages, 155 kilometers long, of course, not West Berlin can reach more than 150 kilometers of circumference, mainly irregular, if drawn into a straight line or straight arc, the total circumference of West Berlin is less than 100 kilometers.
There are a total of 16 lines of defense, and the permanent border guards often have more than 2,000 people, and some can reach more than 3,000 people, and there are wrongdoers or those who cross the border without permission, they have the power to shoot, they really shoot!
The first line of defense, 302 lookouts. The second line of defense is a smooth, pale concrete wall about 3.5 meters high, with wire fences and sirens in places. The third line of defense, steel to resist horses. The fourth line of defense, barbed wire. The fifth line of defense, the acoustic alarm cable. The sixth line of defense, electrified barbed wire. The seventh line of defense, twenty-two pillboxes. The eighth line of defense, 600 police dogs. The ninth line of defense, minefields. The tenth line of defense, anti-vehicle trenches. The eleventh line of defense, street lights. The twelfth line of defense, with 1,400 armed guards, also has the power to shoot. The thirteenth line of defense, the power grid with sirens. The fourteenth line of defense, an open space with nothing, so that someone who escapes here can be seen at a glance. The fifteenth line of defense, a concrete wall that can withstand the impact of armored vehicles. The sixteenth line of defense, in some places you have to swim across the River Spree.
Li Mo suddenly thought of which barbed wire fence in the Special Economic Zone, compared to which network in the Special Economic Zone was simply weak......
"What a difficult task," Li Mo thought to himself.
But he doesn't regret it, although it is still a little dangerous, but he is taking advantage of the situation, at least it is much less dangerous than the time he jumped into the river to save Cai Mingyan.
Sitting in the car, Li Mo asked these second generations about the news of the Berlin Wall without saying a word.
At the same time, two people came to mind in his mind.
If a few days ago, Limer would not have dared to come to the GDR, and Erich Honecker was not only tough in government, but also one of the decision-makers and organizers of the construction of the Berlin Wall at that time.
He was thinking of the two leaders that had just been replaced in East Germany, Egon Krenz and Chancellor Hans Modrow.
First of all, Krenz, who himself wanted to continue to adhere to GC doctrine and also wanted to retain East Germany, which is why he was later liquidated by West Germany. But his methods were much softer than those of Honeck, as evidenced by the fact that on November 9, the police chief of East Berlin called Krenz to say that thousands of people had poured onto the Berlin Wall. The soldiers who were guarding the Berlin Wall at that time had not yet received any orders, which means that a great tragedy could easily occur. So Krenz took the initiative to order the wall to be opened. That is to say, although he opposed the reunification of the two Germanys, he was actually the greatest contributor to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the actual hero of the reunification of the two Germanys.
But the end was a bit miserable......
In order to unify Germany, West German politicians gave East German politicians many promises, including never to settle accounts for the previous practices of East German officials. Otherwise, without the cooperation of East German officials, reunification would still be a great dream.
Some also promised, while others did not.
After reunification, including Krenz, as well as the former head of the prefecture, Honeck, Defense Minister Kessler, Chief of the General Staff Streletz, former Politburo member Karl Marx, First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Sigfried Lorenz, former Politburo member Joachim Bommey, First Secretary of the Party Committee of the Hare Prefecture, as well as former commanders of the border guards at all levels...... All the members of the National Defense Council were put on trial, and all the deputy ministers of the Ministry of Defense were sent to prison by West German politicians, dishonorably violating Cigna.
And the politicians in West Germany have convicted them of criminal offenses, and we are not engaged in political reckoning, but you have committed a criminal case, so you have to stand trial...... Krentz is a tough guy and says, I'm not a criminal criminal, I'm a political prisoner.
West German politicians said that there was no such thing as a political prisoner in our reunified Germany, and that you have mental problems, and they also sent a psychiatrist to check whether Krenz was "mentally ill" and violent. In other words, if you are verbose, we will send you to a mental hospital immediately!
Krenz had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, but he was stubborn and refused several times the "amnesty" of West Germany, but in doing so, West Germany provoked the anger of some who knew the truth, and during his time in prison, he received about 32,000 letters from the masses who expressed concern and sympathy for him. Under pressure from these people, the German judge finally publicly admitted that Krenz had made a certain contribution to the peaceful revolution of '89 and released him.
Then Krenz came to China again, and when he was interviewed in China, he revealed the truth and gave a kind reminder.
The truth is the reason for Honeck's resignation, the front is the various contradictions in East Germany, and the back is Gorbachev's promotion, Gorbachev's dissatisfaction with Honecker is not a question of people's cooking, but how to develop relations between East and West Germany, and the two cannot agree on the same opinion. Secondly, under the impetus of Honecker, East Germany and China quickly entered the honeymoon stage, which also made Gorbachev dissatisfied, and directly sent a message to Honecker that the relationship between East Germany and China could not exceed that of the Soviet Union and China. As an aside, you GDR have to quickly cool down relations between GDR and China...... Otherwise, I'm going to you!
It's going to go on......
Krenz was pushed to the forefront, but he was dissatisfied with his leadership experience and felt that he was responsible for the demise of East Germany. During this period of time, in East Germany, those who supported Gorbachev quarreled with those who opposed Gorbachev's policies, those who held leniency and strictness to the people, and whether to further deepen reform and open up to the people.
This background is the real reason for the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany. However, after the reunification of Germany, it did not bring the imagined happiness to the people of East Germany. Thus on one occasion he said: "My responsibility for the cease to exist in the GDR will torment me to the end of my life." ”
Therefore, Krenz kindly reminded China that the Western countries are so developed and rich because they have been plundered from developing countries in disguised form by various financial means, and it is necessary to prevent the peaceful evolution of Western countries......
None of the people who can go up are simple people.
But Li Mo did not agree very much, indeed, after the reunification of the two Germanys, even if West Germany is the world's third largest economy, the East German economy is also good, but under the two systems, different ideas, different management, different modes of production, different prices, different industrial systems...... Therefore, labor pains are inevitable, this is East and West Germany, if West Germany and Poland are forcibly integrated, with Poland's population, area, economy, industry and commerce, it will be a disaster.
It is precisely because of this reunification that Germany has jumped to the seventh place in Europe in terms of area, the second in terms of population, the first in terms of total GDP, and the twentieth place in per capita.
Because of this reunification, Germany has a better industrial depth, such as West Germany out of brand and technology, East Germany out of processing, of course, Germany has also become a leading country in Europe, with more right to speak. Even occasionally, the United States is not convinced.
The frustrated will only see the difficulties of the life of the people of East Germany after reunification, while the proud will see the bright prospects that a unified Germany will bring to the country.
In fact, in the difficult integration process of the next ten years, there were many people who complained, but there were almost no people who made a fuss about Eastern or Western independence.
and then to the second-in-command of East Germany, the old handsome pot Hans Modrow.
Again, he was socialist, but his attitude towards West Germany was more moderate than that of Krenz.
In the 80s, 80 percent of East German families had access to West German television programs (because the installation of antennas was too convenient for the government to do anything about it), and Dresden, where he was secretary, was the only city in East Germany that could not receive Western television signals because of its easternmost location.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, on December 22, to the cheers of more than 100,000 people, Helmut Kohl, then Chancellor of West Germany, walked from west to east through the Brandenburg Gate, where Hans Modrow greeted Kohl, marking the reopening of the Brandenburg Gate. The quarantine area was then completely dismantled, and the German people danced and celebrated at the Berlin Wall in front of the Brandenburg Gate.
For these reasons, the old handsome pot was not later liquidated by the politicians of West Germany.
Li Mo remembers what he remembers, as well as what Liu Xiangzhong inquired about, as well as what he heard during his trip to East Germany, intentionally or unintentionally in conversations with these officials, these news are combined, first, for his own safety, it is really not a joke, and second, how to be reasonable and successful, and lead the East German people to push this wall.
No matter how much he overthrows, as long as it is the head he initiated, the credit for this splashing is his.
So Li Mo said two Nobel Prizes.
He led the East German people to tear down the Berlin Wall, but he couldn't win the Nobel Prize, so Norway's Nobel Peace Prize is simply a joke.
These yanai took Li Mo to a luxurious hotel.
The owner of the money, you have to be careful.
Then they called several beautiful girls, and Li Mo said to Zhu Hui: "I don't know German." ”
"Am I not translating for you?"
"So ...... this night?"
Zhu Hui snorted.
Li Mo was joking, he rejected the kindness of these officials, and said: "The reason why I came to your East Germany is that your East Germany has always had a good relationship with China, and in addition, as the most developed industrial country in socialism, I am also very curious in my heart, and I am not here to enjoy it." ”
He also heard about Liu Xiangzhong's various activities in the Soviet Union and East Germany.
But he himself is the same, what can he say? Besides, Liu Xiangzhong can be regarded as born and dead, and he has taken risks to do a lot of things for him, enjoy it, can you still not allow it?
As Li Mo said that he was a little tired and wanted to rest.
Zhu Yanai left with interest.
Li Mo then asked Zhu Hui how he did another thing.
This time, Li Mo "bought" technology, and many people in the government benefited, the leaders of various enterprises and research units, and many workers also benefited, but there was one group that did not benefit, that is, the professors and researchers of various universities who assisted in research and development, and they did not get any benefits.
At the suggestion of Li Mo, Lucas and others collected these lists, and Li Mo couldn't control other cities, mainly East Berlin, with a total of more than 1,500 people.
Actually, it's all the same......
Then Li Mo asked Liu Xiangzhong to bring the list to Zhu Hui, so that while supervising the textile market, she took the parents of her three classmates to issue a coupon to each of the more than 1,500 people, and in the future, after the textile market opened, she could use this card to go shopping for 5,000 marks. The exchange rate between the West German mark and the US dollar was about two to one, and the East German mark was even less valuable, which was only equivalent to more than 1,000 dollars at the black market exchange rate.
That's a small compensation.
It's all the same, the difference is that the object of Li Mo's circle must be personally sent by Zhu Hui to send the coupon to them to show respect for them. Most of these people were well-known experts in the GDRs...... However, it is possible that the information obtained by Li Mo is wrong, and there are also a few who are not very famous, and they also appear in this list.
mentioned this incident, Zhu Hui wanted to cry aggrievedly.
She didn't know how dangerous it was for her to stay in East Germany during this time, mainly because these Yanei wantonly gave the technology to Li Mo, which made some patriotic scholars angry, they didn't dare to scold these Yanei, and they couldn't scold Li Mo, so they were angry with Zhu Hui.
Li Mo had no choice but to ask while comforting.
Is this textile market actually important? Li Mo plans to build it, and it will definitely be opened, but by this time next year, Li Mo will hand over some enterprises in the state, especially some "collective enterprises" with vision, and then leave it alone.
In fact, all of this is arranged mainly for one person, one woman.
Li Mo went around for thirty-eight and twenty-four circles, and finally got to this woman.
Zhu Hui didn't get a favor with this woman, and in the same way, she was scolded and ran away.
"It's not like words, I'll go and get justice for you tomorrow."
"Boss, forget it, what you did was really not authentic, just scold, anyway, I didn't do much for you, I have the right to take my salary and block the scolding for you."
"What is this, is it wrong for a socialist country to help a socialist country? No, I must seek justice for you. ”
Zhu Hui's eyes widened, and she thought to herself, you are the biggest capitalist, and what else do you say about socialism, but she also knows that Li Mo has done a good job in caring for employees, and she really thinks that Li Mo wants to seek justice for her.
