[91] Let's talk about one of the East Germanys

East Germany was in a helpless situation at this time, and on October 7, 1949, the Soviet Union established the German Democratic Republic, also known as East Germany, in the German occupation zone. After World War II, according to the provisions of the Yalta Conference and the Potsdam Conference, East Germany had to pay more than 10 billion US dollars in war reparations to the Soviet Union......

What do you think will happen to this kind of killing chickens and eggs? The economy of East Germany suffered serious damage, and the local living materials were extremely poor, and the East Germans either chose to flee to West Germany or stayed to continue to live a miserable life. But there are also people who march on the streets under the planning and instigation of the West, after all, the Soviet Union has done a lack of morality, how can this Nima make people live? Of course, the Soviet army and the East German police immediately suppressed the workers' uprising of 1953.

Don't think that the countryside in East Germany will be more miserable, on the contrary, it is a different story to say that in the early days of East Germany there was a polarization between the city and the countryside, and the lack of goods under the urban rationing system. The Communist Party of East Germany carried out land reform thoroughly, confiscated the land of the farms and estates of the big landlords and the big bourgeoisie, and distributed land to 210,000 poor and landless peasants in the whole country, who were only 210,000 poor peasants in the whole country! This is called the rabbit's family's 540 million mud legs, how can it be worthwhile......

Germany is a country that has completed industrialization eight streets ahead of China. Industrialization began in the 18th century, was completely completed at the beginning of the 19th century, and by 1914 it was already the largest industrial power in Europe. Electricity and roads are connected to every village...... What was the rabbit doing in 1914? Just thinking about it makes you want to cry, right? Me too......

The rabbit's family and people can not be compared at all, the urbanization rate of their population is very high, the rural population is small and generally relatively rich, after the land reform, according to the fertility of the land, each poor peasant household is divided into 5-10 hectares, that is, 75-150 acres per household! This does make the rabbit poor peasants envious to death, no way, who calls people has always been less people and more land, this is not counted, every household also divided the landlord's farm tools, basically every family has a very decent pastoral style building to live in, that is, we often see on TV in the European countryside simple and beautiful kind of small rural villas, agricultural materials are abundant to what extent? In the fifties, almost every two families had a tractor, and those who did not have a tractor also had a few batches of horses or a few donkeys, and almost every family had cows......

In other words, the East German countryside, which had a good material life, firmly supported the East German Communist Party, but the East German Communist Party felt that the situation was a little wrong at this time. The poor in the city of Nima are rationed bread every day, and every family in the countryside has surplus grain, and every family has prepared many large jars of jam, milk, and pickled sausages to hang in the barn, this Nima is not scientific!

What's going on? It turns out that in order to restore the ruins of domestic industry as soon as possible, East Germany has made every effort to promote the construction of heavy industrial infrastructure, and the industrial and agricultural scissors are very poor, but the leaders are relatively mentally retarded, think about it, their market is not closed, you sell cheap in China, and Lao Tzu will not pull agricultural products to West Germany to sell? As a result, a group of people called "rich" appeared in the countryside, and they pulled all kinds of agricultural products to West Germany, which was also in ruins, to sell, and strawberries that were only sold for 1 cent a pound in East Germany could be sold for more than one mark in West Germany, and the industrial products in exchange were cheaper than those in China.

The East German Communist Party, which discovered this mystery, is really on fire, okay! In the city, Lao Tzu received the ration of bread to save money, and the children couldn't even drink milk, and you rich people in the countryside were getting rich, not only the rich peasants, but also the middle peasants of Nima and the poor peasants with the highest consciousness......

What to do? Easy to do, Berlin Wall!

But the leaders of the GDR were pigs, and they didn't build the Berlin Wall first, so what did they do? In 1952, the Communist Party of East Germany held a meeting and patted its head on the whole idea. The Soviet Union is the boss of socialism, and the boss is always right, right? Therefore, it was decided to follow the example of the Soviet boss, set up agricultural cooperatives throughout the country, carry out a comprehensive agricultural collectivization transformation, and take back all rural land and means of production to set up collective farms. Tractors and horses, donkeys and cows, pigstys full of piglets, wineries and large oak barrels full of jam were all nationalized. The East German Communist Party calculated that after the resumption of the land, all the agricultural products produced on the collective farms would be state-owned, and wouldn't this completely solve the problem once and for all?

Good guys, now the East German peasants are all fried, the poor peasants are just divided land, and they also resist fiercely, and the peasants repeatedly explain to the working group that they finally have a piece of their own land, and they have begun to work for their own destiny, and weishenme wants to confiscate my land? Zuihou directly and violently overturned the cadres who confiscated the land and engaged in collective farms, do other rich peasants and middle peasants need to be said? Fuck the stick and hit you! The confrontation between the two sides continued to escalate, the working group pulled all the electricity in the village, and also found a group of youth groups to come to the door to do work all day long...... Anyway, the pressure of public opinion and administrative means were all used, and they said that they would be held legally accountable for those who resisted violently. In the absence of hope of retaining their land, the most extreme example appeared, when two East German peasants simply hanged themselves.

The East German peasants, who had completed cooperative production in advance, felt that this system of not allowing private land no longer had the hope of becoming rich and wealthy, and even if they worked for the rest of their lives, they would not have their own land. As a result, some peasants who aspired to own private land began to flee to West Germany, where private ownership was allowed, under the political propaganda of "free shijie", which had not stopped since the end of the war. By the time the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, 150,000 people had gone to West Germany, and they had taken almost the same number of relatives from the city to run together. Now that my rural relatives have run away and my living standard has declined, let's run too.
