Chapter 939: Confrontation under the Berlin Wall

West Berlin has long been surrounded by him into a big prison, in this case Reagan entered West Berlin, Serov certainly did not dare to kill him, but it was not difficult to do something, the whole of West Berlin was full of agents of the socialist camp. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info make a little trouble and make Reagan embarrassed, it is easy.

"You'd better not make a fuss about the Berlin Wall, I'm not a map." Serov took the information transmitted from Bonn and found that Reagan seemed to be really preparing to come to West Berlin, which really fit the image of a cold soldier.

The whole of West Berlin currently has a population of 2 million, in fact, the urban area of West Berlin is not very large, as long as Serov wants to, the whole urban area of West Berlin can be heard by the whole city of West Berlin, and of course these Germans can also hear other things.

At present, the gap between the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany in terms of per capita indicators is not large, and is basically at the same level. Because there were many more pro-Soviet countries than in history, and Serov made a great contribution to the construction of the diversification of Western Europe. And the Berlin Wall is taller and bigger than it was historically, and it's easy to give the people of East Berlin the feeling that West Berlin is being locked up in prison. The psychological advantage built up by decades of uninterrupted harassment and many other reasons made the GDR stable.

Even if a normal person is surrounded by a high wall, it will become abnormal after a long time. West Berlin has been besieged for decades, coupled with the constant harassment of loudspeakers, the atmosphere in West Berlin is very bad, the oldest profession of mankind has developed well, and the taste of the Germans itself is relatively heavy, cheaper than the occupation forces of the three countries.

"If there's one difference between Eastern Europe and Western Europe at the moment, it's that our men are men and women are women." Serov was referring to the rock movement, which was the focus of the Soviet Union.

East Berlin set up a more penetrating horn, and Reagan flew to West Berlin to show his charm at the forefront of the Cold War confrontation, "This is where the Soviet Union is evil." During the landing, Reagan, who looked down on the Berlin Wall from the air, was full of confidence.

The erection of the Berlin Wall itself was a manifestation of the lack of self-confidence of the Soviet camp, and as for the fact that West Berlin devoured the population of the GDR, causing the loss of the population of the GDR and not being able to develop, what would an American president who thinks that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer care? In Reagan's eyes, you are poor, you don't work hard, I am rich and I oppress you, it is all right.

Reagan's arrival still caused a stir in West Berlin, where hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to welcome Reagan, the front line of the Cold War, where the two forces were sharply opposed, but maintained a magical balance in which neither wanted to back down and neither could move forward. It's like two stalemate fighting cocks, although they are not fighting, they are both working hard. At this time, it is about strength, endurance, and spirit, to see who drags down whom.

Reagan, who was warmly welcomed, certainly knew that there must be agents from the KGB or the German Stasi in the crowd, and he was prepared for this, but Reagan could never have imagined that there were many more people than he thought.

The Berlin Wall was built to prevent the GDR's population from being overtaken by the then more powerful Federal Republic of Germany, but this barrier was seen by the West as a "disgrace to human freedom", and they vowed to tear down the wall, but it was in vain, and the mighty Soviet Union was on the side. In this way, the two sides are eyeing each other, and the slightest disturbance could lead to conflict, and the Berlin Wall has become the most fragile and sensitive political seismic zone in the world.

Every time there was a need to show strength, the president of the United States would visit West Berlin, and Kennedy at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis also caused a sensation in West Berlin at that time, but in the seventies this sensation disappeared, and the Soviet Union became stronger and stronger, and the people of West Berlin naturally had little confidence. When Reagan came to power, he began to regain the influence that had been taken away by the Soviet Union. This gave a little hope to the West Berliners, but the confidence was far less than it was in the Kennedy era.

Kennedy's remark that I am from Berlin happened to meet Khrushchev in charge. At that time, Khrushchev was the big fool in the world political arena, and Kennedy's speech was directly pushed back by Khrushchev. Except for the sentence that I am from Berlin to be remembered, it basically has no effect. The Berlin Wall was an issue that the Soviet Union could not back down, and once it was back down, it would mean that something had happened within the Soviet Union.

This is an issue that no one can challenge, and Reagan decided to take on the challenge and establish himself as fearless at the forefront of the Cold War confrontation. Serov had been waiting for a long time, and in the same sentence, he was not Goto. In the face of Reagan's decision to dismantle the Berlin Wall, he did not say anything, and he also wanted the general secretary of the GDR to stand up and take a stand. This big spy leader can't afford to lose it, the little brothers are still gritting their teeth and insisting, the eldest brother knelt down first, what are you kidding?

The GDR was also very face-saving, knowing that the President of the United States had come to West Berlin and had not played the Internationale today, showing great restraint, but no one knew that a huge screen was on standby, and once Reagan's itinerary was determined, this big screen would be erected.

Located in the heart of the German capital, Berlin, which is also the dividing line between East and West Berlin, the Berlin Wall was erected and Reagan decided to give a speech in this symbolic place. As soon as the news of Reagan's departure from the headquarters of the three occupation forces leaked, General Secretary Honecker of East Berlin ordered the assembly of a large screen.

"President Kennedy visited Berlin and addressed the people of the city and the world in the town hall. After that, two presidents visited Berlin. Today, I myself have come to your city for the second time. With his back to the Brandenburg Gate and the 100,000 people in West Berlin, Reagan couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, and took out the draft of his speech that he had been preparing for a long time, "Our rally today is being broadcast to the whole of Western Europe and North America. I know that in the east, people are watching and listening. I have a message for those who listen in Eastern Europe: I am not standing with you, but I am speaking to you, just as I am speaking to the people in front of me. Like you, your compatriots in the west, I have a firm and unchangeable conviction that there is only one Berlin. ”

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, some people were talking, and soon people looked behind Reagan with surprised looks, a giant screen was being hoisted. Beyond the height of the Berlin Wall, the man above was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Reagan's worst enemy in this world.

"Please continue, Mr. Reagan, I'm sorry I can't come to Berlin, but I'd like to hear what you have to say." Serov pointed to the camera and said, "Through some technical means, this can also be achieved." First of all, I must thank the leaders of Germany for causing trouble to the German comrades. ”

Serov's cold voice sounded on the big screen, causing Reagan's body to shake slightly with his back to the big screen, but he immediately returned to his original state, and looked back with a calm face, just like Serov said, this is the first time that the two have faced each other. Serov couldn't actually see Reagan, he could only hear voices. This large screen is one-way and not very mature technically.

Reagan withdrew the distracting thoughts in his mind, this sudden attack caught him off guard, but the speech could continue, as if there was one more audience, but the attention of the hundreds of thousands of people below had been diverted.

"West Berlin, a ruin 40 years ago, is now Germany's most productive industrial area, full of busy office areas, fine houses and apartments, lively streets, and sprawling park lawns. What seemed like a cultural desert in those days is now home to two of the best universities, orchestras and an opera house, countless theaters and museums. What used to be scarcity, now is great abundance - food, clothing, cars - everything is available on Kudam Street. From the ruins, from the point of destruction, you Berliners have rebuilt one of the greatest cities on earth in freedom. ”

"Since Mr. Serov is listening, then I will say frankly, if you want the people of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to live a happy life, please open this door and tear down this big wall!" Reagan suddenly turned around and shouted at the big screen.

Under the Brandenburg Gate, all the West Berliners gathered cheered for a long time, and at the same time they wanted to hear how the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union would respond.

"There is only one Germany, and there is only one Berlin, Mr. Reagan, has you forgotten that the Soviet Union promoted the reunification of Germany in the fifties, and we advised the United States not to establish NATO, and if the United States had agreed at that time, the Warsaw Pact would not have existed." Serov's sense of the camera is very good, but his indifferent face is a little out of point, and he looks more arrogant, because of technology, it is impossible for him to have a seamless dialogue with Reagan, but he has to wait a few seconds to answer, "We propose the reunification of Germany, and at the same time the troops of the United States and the Soviet Union withdraw German territory, it is the United States that rejects the Soviet Union." ”

"On the surface, Western Europe does seem to be more dynamic, but we are not starving the people." Serov said unhurriedly, "We have agreed to negotiate medium-range missiles, and at the same time have made some gestures. But this cannot end with the unconditional retreat of the Soviet Union, which cannot watch Nicaragua be overthrown by imperialist forces and allow the tragedy of Grenada to repeat itself. ”

"Reagan, if I agree to the reunification of Germany, the withdrawal of the United States and the Soviet Union from German territory, and the transformation of Germany into a truly neutral country, will you agree? If you agree, then negotiations can begin now. Serov suddenly laughed, but immediately turned into an indifferent face again, "You won't agree, so that the United States has no value." ”

In fact, the USSR would not have agreed, but Serov took the initiative to say it, and Reagan was embarrassed.
