On 2 June, 83-year-old GDR President Wilhelm Peake held a press conference dragging his seriously ill body to name yesterday's riots in West Berlin as the Children's Day tragedy. Today, William Peake reappeared, and in front of the reporters present, he could no longer talk as he did in the past, but had to pause and rest every time he said the last sentence, and the speech that would have taken only ten minutes was extended to half an hour.

"The occupation forces of the three countries in West Berlin must give an explanation for yesterday's bloodshed!" Wilhelm Peake stood up tremblingly, his old body no longer trembling, and his eyes became bright again, and he shouted, "The GDR will stand in solidarity with the inhabitants of West Berlin and demand that the occupation forces of the three countries stop suppressing the people!" ”

Later in the year, the First Secretary of the Soviet Union, Nikita Khrushchev, also made a speech, agreeing with President Wilhelm Peake's overview of the Children's Day tragedy, expressing strong protest against the bloody repression of the inhabitants of West Berlin by imperialism, saying, "On Children's Day, we celebrate their holiday with joy and the future of the country, and the whole world is immersed in a sea of joy, and in Berlin, the capital of the GDR, the children of Germany play with the children of comrades from all over the world who helped to build Berlin, And just across the wall in the city of West Berlin, on the same day of International Children's Day, the military and police of the three countries carried out a brutal massacre of unarmed protesters, fully exposing the true face of imperialism! ”

Khrushchev's speech was finally published in Pravda, which spread throughout the Soviet Union within a day, and the Children's Day tragedy in West Berlin was also known to the entire Soviet Union through Pravda.

"Comrade Valya, have you heard? A lot died in West Berlin yesterday, didn't your husband work in the National Security Council? Do you know any inside information? "The Minister of Education in charge of primary education, a woman in her forties, is a woman in her forties, and the proportion of women in the Ministry of Education system is higher than in other departments. However, Ukraine's Minister of Education is still a man.

"Huh? The National Security Council is disciplined, and he won't reveal it to me! Alijea ...... Valya explained apologetically to her inquisitive colleague.

"Oh? Thought you knew something? Alidya shook her head in disappointment, she was a little disappointed that she didn't satisfy her curiosity this time, she knew that Valya's husband was a KGB, and sometimes she could hear Valya talk about KGB things, but Valya was very careful not to get involved in important things, which made Aryya very uncomfortable.

Watching Alijea leave, Valya, who returned to the office, sat down slowly, carefully read the Pravda report, not willing to drop every word, and said with a smile on her suspicious face, "Is it really your style?" ”

The Soviet Union took a position after the GDR, followed by Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and Albania all reporting on the Children's Day tragedy. Italy said the next day, with Italian Prime Minister and Communist Party General Secretary Paremiro Torgliati saying, "The actions of the three occupation forces in Berlin are simply a disgrace to democracy, and 14 years after World War II, West Berlin is still under the control of the occupation forces." West Berlin residents should be allowed to choose their own government to run West Berlin! ”

After Italy's statement, the Communist Party of France, the Greek Communist Party, and other Communist Parties within NATO expressed their support for the Italian Communist Party's proposition. The World Youth League for Democracy and the International Federation of Democratic Women jointly issued a statement condemning the occupying forces of the three countries for such fascist acts on the occasion of International Children's Day.

Organized groups joined in the ranks of condemnation, and all kinds of solidarity and protests were constantly placed in the West Berlin headquarters, and also spread through the loudspeakers of the Berlin Wall throughout the streets of West Berlin.

The occupation forces of the three countries issued a statement at a later date, claiming that this was an organized and premeditated riot in West Berlin, the result of a small group of communists instigating the inhabitants of West Berlin, and hoped that the people of West Berlin would understand where the enemy was and not be fooled by all the rhetoric. At the same time, the British and French military and police were dispatched to maintain order in the urban area of West Berlin.

But then the United States and Britain tasted the taste of being stabbed in the back, and the Charles de Gaulle government, which took office at the beginning of the year, issued a statement, "The incident in West Berlin has nothing to do with France, and the French garrison in West Berlin has not participated in the process of suppressing the people from beginning to end, and I believe that no one has seen French soldiers confronting the people of Berlin on the streets, because our soldiers have not gone out at all!" A spokesman for the de Gaulle government said.

Although Maurice Torres, the general secretary of the French Communist Party, was at odds with de Gaulle, he gave his support to the de Gaulle government this time: "Although I have reservations about some of General de Gaulle's policies, there is no doubt that France is on the side of justice in this matter. Maurice Torres's statement was also reported by the French national media.

The French government's statement of defection has caused public opinion in the whole incident to take a sharp turn for the worse, and the public opinion controlled by the United States has been broken open a huge gap. This development caught the United States and Britain off guard. At the same time, General de Gaulle, who was supported by the whole of France, announced that the American fleet would be temporarily prohibited from docking in French ports, and at the same time took back the command of the French fleet in NATO, these two orders were also supported by the French people, and the innate pride of the French people made them unwilling to bow their heads even in the face of the United States, and these two orders were called a symbol of France's restoration of independence.

After France made a statement, the American and British media, which for a time pushed the West Berlin incident to the Soviet infiltration, were instantly silent, but they did not expect the newly inaugurated de Gaulle government to mercilessly give the United States and Britain a knife at this time.

Soon the two countries adjusted their propaganda strategy, and the newspapers in the face of the domestic people still did not change the direction of the wind, and then emphasized that the Soviet Union planned the incident, while in the face of foreign pages, they stopped mentioning the West Berlin affair, turned a deaf ear to the verbal and written criticism of the socialist camp, and ordered the representatives of the three countries in West Berlin to negotiate with the Soviet Union.

In a theater in East Berlin, Serov is dancing at a ball, with a sense of ease. It was a joint ball between the Stasi and the KGB, a place for their counterparts from both countries to communicate, and the two organizations would fight side by side for decades or more to come.
