Chapter 475: Embarrassment (II)

When the ceremony was about to begin, Li Mo looked around, then walked up to Merkel and asked curiously: "Ms. Merkel, it's strange." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"What's weird?"

"Chief. ”

On October 2, 1990, yesterday, West German Chancellor Kohl Kohl and East German Chancellor De Mezier delivered televised speeches on German unity.

In his speech, Kohl thanked the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union for agreeing to and supporting German reunification, and said that after reunification, Germany is willing to be a reliable partner and good friend of its neighbors. At the same time, Kohl also thanked the political parties, the masses and religious figures from all walks of life who have made efforts for the reunification of Germany, and solemnly thanked Limer.

This made Li Mo a little flattered.

But Li Mo didn't know that there was an important reason behind this......

In his speech, de Mezier said that without the new thinking of the Soviet Union and the support of its Eastern European neighbors, the GDR would not have been able to embark on the path it is today. Commenting on the problems faced after reunification, he said that not all people are free from worries about the future. The new currency, the new economic order and the introduction of a new political structure will naturally bring many difficulties.

So is Demezier right?

There is nothing wrong with that.

In fact, Li Mo followed the course of history in the reunification of Germany...... Of course, no one can think of it now.

In terms of real heroes, the first is Kohl, and the second is Gorbachev.

The latter is not much less to the credit than the former.

At 11 o'clock this morning, a ceremony for the reunification of Germany was held in Berlin, at which German President Weizssäcker, Bundestag Speaker Jusmut, Bundesrat President Momper, and former GDR People's Assembly Speaker Bergmann Bohr spoke. More than 2,000 people attended the ceremony, including German Chancellor Kohl, Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister Gensch, members of the government, political dignitaries, representatives of churches, and diplomatic envoys of various countries in Germany.

It looks like there is no problem, but something really goes wrong.

That's what Li Mo said about the heads of state?

First of all, West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl proposed early on that "one nation" and "each other is not a foreign country" and advocated German reunification.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Eastern Europe changed dramatically, but if you want to unify Germany, you can't do it by tearing down the Berlin Wall, and its biggest obstacle is the Soviet Union.

Kohl personally went to Moscow several times and bitterly persuaded Gorbachev.

In July of this year, Kohl and Gorbachev finally reached an eight-point understanding, including Germany's military and political status after reunification, the maximum limit of Germany's armed forces, and the non-extension of NATO's military structure to Germany.

Why did Gorbachev agree?

The Soviet economy was in trouble, and he was bent on reforms, but continuing the Cold War with the Western world would not be conducive to Soviet reforms. Cole's promises hit him right in the heart.

According to these understandings, a unified Germany was not the front line of the Cold War, but a buffer zone, which seemed to favor the Soviet Union...... Anyway, he thinks so, including the use of US troops in the Middle East, and he is tantamount to acquiescing in disguise.

Seems to make sense...... If the practice of a real person is analyzed according to his thinking, it seems to make sense.

Gorbachev's actions finally led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, and he was even the second biggest sin in Russia.

But from Germany's standpoint, Gorbachev was undoubtedly the hero of German reunification.

In addition, Kohl gave the Soviet Union many benefits, including $15 billion in EC aid and a 5 billion mark of government-guaranteed bank credit from West Germany to the Soviet Union. Subsequently, West Germany agreed to provide the Soviet Union with 12 billion marks to compensate for the cost of Soviet troops remaining and withdrawing from East Germany, as well as 3 billion marks in direct financial assistance. Due to the economic difficulties in the Soviet Union, the urgent need for assistance from West Germany and the West, and the seeming benefits of these agreements, the Soviets agreed to the reunification of the two Germanys.

This was the position of the USSR.

And then to the position of the British...... On the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was also time when Kohl was campaigning for German reunification.

Margaret Thatcher held a secret meeting at her prime minister's residence, inviting many historians to discuss the German question.

In this conclave, these people raised questions such as "Who are the Germans?" "Have the Germans changed?" and "What are the consequences of German reunification?" and said, "Why can a civilized country allow itself to be brainwashed into becoming barbaric? If it happens once, won't it happen a second time?"

Then the Berlin Wall fell, and Margaret Thatcher continued to lobby, including by making secret phone calls to Gorbachev, making it clear that we did not need a united Germany.

Then the other day, she called the White House again and said that she could not attend, and that if Bush Sr. did not attend, she would be happy and wanted the ceremony of German reunification to be canceled.

The other is France.

Compared to Margaret Thatcher's covert actions, France was even more naked.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Mitterrand held talks with George H.W. Bush, stressing that the process of German reunification must be "peaceful, democratic, and gradual," and advocating that Kohl should slow down the pace of reunification.

After three or four years, if the situation changes, Germany will not want to be reunified......

At the end of last year, Francois Mitterrand came to East Germany even more boldly, openly stating that the GDR "could be sure of France's solidarity with the German Republic" and that France was "interested in the continued existence of East Germany as a sovereign state". This was followed by a lecture at Leipzig, in which he said that both German states were "sovereign". German reunification, of course, "is first and foremost about the Germans," but neighboring countries should be "concerned about their stability."

But his efforts did not work, so he personally went to the Soviet Union to lobby Gorbachev.

"The German question should be considered within the framework of the process of united Europe and find its own solution in it," Gorbachev said. This would protect Europe from all major upheavals and avoid upheaval. Only in this way can the German question itself find a more correct solution. Artificially accelerated reunification processes should be excluded. ”

As an aside, that is, French children, I have taken a lot of benefits, and if you oppose German reunification, you can solve it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me.

Finally, there is the position of the United States.

The U.S. government believed that the reunification of Germany would hasten the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union's sphere of influence, and that geopolitically, a united Germany would serve as a powerful deterrent to the Soviet Union.

Therefore, Time magazine in the United States selected Li Mo as the person of the year at the end of the year.

At the beginning, the Bush administration was also a little worried that West Germany's "merger with East Germany would exacerbate the political problems of the Soviet Union, induce a domestic conservative counteroffensive in the Soviet Union, and endanger Gorbachev's reforms," which would prevent the United States from bloodlessly carrying out "peaceful evolution" in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

However, after seeing Gorbachev's various performances, especially after receiving a little benefit from West Germany and the so-called understanding agreement, he actually supported German reunification, and Bush Sr. was determined to accelerate German reunification.

At the beginning of negotiations between several great powers to resolve the reunification of Germany, the French proposed to exclude the two Germanys, that is, the "4 ten 0" formula.

And China.

In the past 90 years, China has no right to speak in the international community, except for the group of brothers in Africa.

However, the elder Bush insisted on recruiting the two Germans from the beginning, turning "4+0" into "4+2", thus giving the green light to accelerate the reunification of the two Germanys.

However, in order to take care of the emotions of the two little brothers in Britain and France, Bush Sr. did not come to the reunification ceremony in person.

Even he didn't come, and the heads of other Western countries didn't come.

As for the USSR and Eastern Europe, as well as the little brothers of the USSR, it would be good to tacitly ignore your reunification, and you still want us to participate in your reunification ceremony?

And then it became an embarrassing situation today.

Not to mention the Olympics and military parades, it is that China has taken back Xiangjiang, and many heads of state have sent congratulatory messages.

However, this time the reunification of the two Germanys, except for the envoys of various countries in Germany, there was nothing, and Li Mo suddenly thought of a sentence: looking for it, it is cold and lonely, and it is miserable and miserable......

In fact, this is also the reason why Cole personally greeted him and deliberately thanked Li Mo in his televised speech last night.

Whoever encounters such an embarrassing scene will think that it is fortunate that Li Mo, a hot-blooded young man and a stunned youth, came to Berlin, and really allowed him to successfully tear down the Berlin Wall.

If the Berlin Wall had not been torn down, would there have been such great external resistance, would the two Germany still have been able to reunify? Although Li Mo was a businessman, and the nature of a businessman was to pursue profit and steal some of East Germany's technology, Li Mo was undoubtedly the first hero to stand on the reunification of Germany. Moreover, although Li Mo has learned some technology, he can also understand that China's science and technology are backward, and Western countries have carried out a technological blockade on China, so if there is a chance not to know it, he is still a businessman, and Li Mo also expressed enough "shame", not only risking his life to push the Berlin Wall, but also planning to bring investment to East Germany in the future to accelerate the integration process of German reunification. What more could be asked of a businessman, or a businessman in China?

"What's the head, didn't your Chinese head of state come either? ”

"Can we be the same in China, and what countries have imposed various blockades on our China, and you Federal Republic of Germany! ”

Merkel is speechless.

Li Mo frowned and thought for a moment.

Most of the manifestations of the countries in German reunification were covert, and many of them were revealed in the past few years.

At the moment, there is very little news that can be reported by various media outlets.

However, seeing this situation, Li Mo could guess a little, and he simply gave the United States, Britain and France a little eye drops, saying: "Merkel, in short, you have to be strong yourself, and your allies can't be relied on." ”

Merkel said warily: "Limer, we Germany have made mistakes before, but we will not make mistakes in the future." ”

"When I say that you are strong, do you mean that you Germans will be fascists again? I am not referring to the military, but to the economy and culture, if your German economy surpassed that of Japan, would there still be such a scene?"

"Li, what you said, will really happen in the future?"

"It could happen. Li Mo said.

Even if he said it, the Germans were helpless. In fact, Li Mo did not say that the Germans did a good job.

The two systems and political systems have been separated for decades, so how easy is it to merge? More importantly, East Germany is not small, and it is better to say a little if it is a city.

However, the main policy of Germany's reunification this time is to do it right, unify, unify not only the country, but also the system, currency, education, etc. Although there are labor pains, but after more than ten years, apart from regional exclusion, is there anyone who is still talking about East Germany and West Germany? In fact, this also represents a real integration.

"Will you really help us then?"

West Germany had money, but there were too many places for Germany to use it right away.

Even if you have money, it doesn't mean that you can provide jobs, or like the Li Mozi Fund has done in the United States, giving money and food and clothes, so what's the use?

The real help is the creation of jobs for the future East Germany.

The average person can't do it anymore.

However, no one in Germany dared to doubt Li Mo's, Li Mo has wisdom, and he also has industries in his hands, and these industries are very successful, Li Mo also has funds, this time in Japan, Li Mo does not know how much money he has made.

Li Mo smiled slightly and said, "Your President Weizsäcker and His Excellency Chancellor Kohl will be very busy soon, but you can give them a word for me." ”

"The reason why I made this promise was because of you, auntie. ”

Merkel pursed her lips.

Cole once said in an internal meeting that if it weren't for Merkel's persecution, Li Mo would not be in danger, even if he is a young man, he often makes some passionate and impulsive moves, but people, besides, a billionaire, will be afraid of death. So don't underestimate Merkel's contributions.

Therefore, Merkel has mixed feelings for Li Mo, she hates Li Mo for taking technology, and shamelessly registers a patent. However, I also thank Li Mo for his contribution to Germany, without Li Mo, she would not have been able to enter the sight of Cole, from a personal point of view, Li Mo is also her benefactor.

"You Germans are rigorous, hardworking, disciplined, and conscientious, and this is precisely the reason why you have been able to succeed in Germany time and time again. Compared to you Germany, the British are conservative, the French are too lazy, so to speak, after the reunification of Germany, you Germany will become the center of Europe in the future. As a business, such employees are also needed. The national personality of you Germans is a good reason to invest. ”

This sentence made Merkel even more relieved, and a smile appeared on her wooden face again.

This scene can't be hidden from reporters from all over the world, and they have filmed it one after another, so I don't know what these two people are talking about.

"I registered some patents, you Germans did not care, on the contrary, last night Chancellor Kohl praised me on TV, our Chinese tradition, to repay virtue with virtue, you Germans respect me, I must give enough in return, so that I can have a clear conscience." That's why I'm helping you. ”

"A clear conscience...... Thank you, thank you. ”

The ceremony of German reunification ended awkwardly without any other head of state and without the blessing of any country.

Of course, the ceremony had nothing to do with Li Mo, he was just an invited guest of honor, but Li Mo also achieved his goal, at least in exchange for the friendship of many German politicians.

However, after the ceremony, Li Mo did not leave, he was surrounded by a group of reporters.

Although it was not his turn to speak at the ceremony, no one dared to deny the role that Limer played in the process of German reunification.

Including the ranking of the ceremony, he was also arranged by the Germans to the front of the VIP position.

"The tearing down of the Berlin Wall is not my own work, but the will of the entire German people, including the acquiescence of the former East German government, otherwise I think that I would not be standing here today to talk to you, but to become a martyr." ”

"I said that I was not afraid of death, but in fact I was really afraid of death, not only was I afraid of death, but the people of Berlin who participated at that time were also afraid of death, but our success was not a fluke, this was the trend of the times, and it was the wise choice of the two German governments at that time. ”

"I have always had reservations about the so-called people's cooking and autocracy, and at that time the Berlin Wall was only about ending the tragedy caused by the wall, and as for the reunification of Germany, I think it was the result of the efforts of the governments, especially Chancellor Kohl, and I dare not plagiarize this credit. ”

"Today is October 3rd, which also happens to be our Mid-Autumn Festival in China. The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Reunion Festival, is a good day for the family and the country to reunite. Here, I sincerely wish that after the reunification of Germany will be reunited and happy for the family, and I also sincerely wish that all divided families and all divided countries, including China, can also be reunited and reunified, and I also wish all countries and all families to stay away from division and war, and to live peacefully and happily for generations to come. ”

Peace, for sure, is good.

And Li Mo is also modest enough.

Journalists, especially German journalists, slapped their hands.

Li Mo got into the car, boarded the plane again, and returned to the magic capital.

On the fifth, Li Mo continued to go to school.

Zhang Xiaoyu found him angrily and reprimanded: "Li Mo, although you have spent money, you have to participate in such a big event, is it possible that you are busy with national affairs these days?"

Li Mo said: "It's really a little, Germany is reunified, and I was invited to watch the ceremony, and you say I should go or not." ”

The reunification of Germany can be said to be the top international event in 90 years, and the media of various countries have also reported on it, and other countries have translated what Li Mo did last year with the reunification of Germany, and have reported one after another, and have also interpreted Li Mo's blessings at length, and some media have even translated Li Mo's documentary "Prayer" again.

Although Li Mo is a hedge fund businessman who everyone is indignant about, looking at the lyrics of this song, it is impossible to deny Li Mo's kind side.

Of course, there is also a discussion of China's pattern, Germany is unified, and China is far from being unified.

Some media jokingly said that Li Mo has the ability to tear down the Berlin Wall, but Li Mo does not have the ability to tear down that strait.

The Chinese media also reported, but under the suppression from above, there was no news of Li Mo.

Some elders were even very dissatisfied with Li Mo's approach, they couldn't see that this was the general trend...... Of course, politicians in the United States and Britain also believe that if it were not for Limer's leadership, the Berlin Wall would not have been falling, and Germany would not have been reunified so soon.

Germany was reunified, and the Cold War tended to ease, but this kind of national pattern was very unfavorable to China.

You hairy boy, aren't you blind......

Zhang Xiaoyu also heard about it, but she said even more angrily: "You went to Germany to watch the ceremony, why didn't you say that you want to go to heaven!"
