Chapter 42 Confrontation
"Maybe you don't believe that the establishment of the blockade has nothing to do with the Soviet Union!" Actually, I don't believe it either, but Selov didn't say this sentence, "The Soviet Union has a certain responsibility for the status and ownership of West Berlin. It is because our Soviet Union did not communicate well with the representatives of the United States, Britain and France. After all, we cannot agree to the merger between Germany and Germany to join NATO. Anyone with discerning eyes knows what NATO is. Today's Berlin incident has developed to a scene that none of us want to see now. The imperialist country led by the United States is to blame, but personally, I have some sympathy for the citizens of Greater Berlin because they have become victims. I'm sorry..."
When he said this, Selov lowered his head and wiped his wet eyes. Sometimes this situation is very annoying. He was too devoted to his feelings and even moved himself. He didn't know that these words were moved but others didn't. At least when he said these words, Selov really forgot his purpose, thinking that he was an internationalist fighter who came to seek welfare for the Germans, and forgot that he had just wanted to simply hit the Americans in the face...
All of this was recorded by the camera in the hands of the reporters present, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will become the best shot of the newspaper page. "Mr. Serov, but in this way, the entire West Berlin is equivalent to being in a blockade. Can't the Soviet Union give in?"
"Why don't you let the United States give in?" Selov said calmly at the reporter who asked the question, "We hope Germany will become a neutral country. The United States hopes that Germany will join NATO. Whose proposal is more reasonable? If your IQ can reach 60, I believe you can make the correct judgment yourself. However, given that you have asked the question, I am now reserved about your IQ. If you are willing to follow my advice, I hope you can test it..."
"Actually, I have no need to tell you all this. If the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union withdraw their troops from Germany, I believe that Federal Germany and Democratic Germany can easily solve the current problem. However, from Beria's proposal five years ago to the kindness of General Secretary Khrushchev, the United States, Britain, and France have turned a blind eye to each other! They will only let the Soviet Union retreat and retreat again and again. There is no need for negotiation now, because this issue is beyond my ability! Don't come to me for the future. The leader of my negotiating delegation will have no effect!" Serov said at the end and sighed long, and looked like I was very tired, as if handing over this problem to Democratic Germany was to get rid of a troublesome thing.
"From today on, we are responsible for the problems in Berlin!" Marcus Wolf next to him spoke to draw everyone's attention to himself, and slowly said, "Democratic Germany and Federal Germany are all Germans! The heavy burden of provoking the world war still makes Germany bear the burden. All the problems in Germany at present originated at that time. Now I am very reluctant to admit that it may not be possible to become a country again in a short period of time, and destiny is not in our own hands!"
After pausing, Marcus Wolf seemed to have made up a great determination and said with difficulty, "As a member of the socialist family, Democratic Germany cannot be outside the world in the current world environment. I am not willing to raise too heavy topics, but I have to say that our compatriots in the Federal Republic of Germany, it has become a foregone conclusion that we belong to two camps! I don't want to talk about it in the future, fight like a man! Although it is the same nation, we will be the masters of each other from now on..."
"General Marcus Wolf, do you mean we are enemies?" A female voice choked up sounded. The female reporter spoke German and should be a reporter from Federal Germany. At this time, what she least wanted to hear happened. Marcus Wolf's meaning was undoubtedly to announce that the current situation was irreversible.
"We are not enemies, but since we are already in this environment, we must fight with all our strength. In the future confrontation, Democratic Germany will not hold back. This is disrespect for Federal Germany. We are not wrong, it is the wrong environment!" Marcus Wolf coughed several times before saying the whole sentence.
Everyone could see that this was a sad picture. No reporter asked questions again for a while, and people were sad because of the seemingly breaking apart among a nation.
This speech was also drafted by Selov. In fact, sometimes speaking out openly is better than vague policies. We must highlight the feeling that people cannot help themselves in the world, and also show our own position and attitude of giving our all. This statement is already the most perfect. If we rewrite another speech, Selov cannot guarantee that it is better than now.
Just like when he woke up in the Soviet Union in 1953, it was a very perfect entry point. It was too late to save the collapse of the socialist country, because it still needed time to develop by itself. It would not be too early, and he could not even save himself, and 1953 was just right.
At this time, a KGB lieutenant colonel walked up from the side and whispered in Selov's ear, changing his calm expression and leaving Marcus Wolf here. Selov hurriedly left the city government.
"Are American soldiers causing trouble in the city streets of the blockade?" Selov, who got into the car, crossed his fingers and sat in the back row and said with a smile, "What a courageous move. There is a brigade of the US garrison in West Berlin, a brigade of the United Kingdom, and two French regiments that were not satisfied with the load, the number of people was only over 10,000, and there were hundreds of tanks. How dare you come to demonstrate with us?"
More than ten minutes later, the car stopped at the confrontation site. American and British soldiers on both sides of a barbed wire were confronting soldiers of the Democratic German Interior Force. Not far from the confrontation between the two sides, some Berlin people could be seen.
"General, the American and British soldiers are destroying the barbed wire and are discovered by our soldiers!" Shelov was told the situation here as soon as he got off the car. "Do you know, are there any horns?" Shelov came to the front line unmoved, looked at the confrontation scene separated by a barbed wire, and said with a horn, "Stop your stupid actions. If you go further, you may not be able to bear the consequences!"
Serov, wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, arrived, and the aura of confrontation between the two sides was stagnant. The momentum of the democratic Germany was much more abundant. But at this moment, a sound that made Serov very familiar to him sounded on the street opposite. This was the sound of tracks. Sure enough, two Sherman tanks slowly drove from the end of the street, which made Serov narrow his eyes and showed a dangerous gaze, but then he smiled and said, "Look at what I saw, two large lighters native to the United States!"
The appearance of two Sherman tanks made the atmosphere here even more tense. The soldiers on both sides held the guns in their hands tightly, "Go to the city government to call the reporters!" Sherov called the assistant next to him and whispered, "Call the Guards 65 Tank Regiment here, and we must here to dispel the idea of destroying the blockade line in West Berlin, otherwise the matter will be over..."
