Chapter 62: Righteous France
On June 2, 83-year-old Democratic Germany President William Pique held a press conference with a serious illness, naming yesterday's riot in West Berlin as the Children's Day tragedy. William Pique has rarely appeared in the past year, and many things are handled by Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers and Secretary of the Central Committee Walter Ubrich. Today, William Pique appeared again, facing the reporters present, unable to speak as endlessly as before. On the contrary, every time he said the previous sentence, he had to pause and rest. The speech that originally took only ten minutes to extend to half an hour.
"The Three Kingdoms Occupation Army in West Berlin must explain the bloodshed that happened yesterday!" William Pique stood up tremblingly. At this time, his old body stopped trembling, and his eyes became bright and bright again and said loudly, "Democratic Germany should support the residents of West Berlin and demand that the Three Kingdoms Occupation Army stop suppressing the people!"
Later, the Soviet Union's first secretary Khrushchev also delivered a speech, agreeing with President William Pique's overview of the Children's Day tragedy, expressing strong protests against the bloody suppression of the residents of West Berlin, saying, "On June 1st, we celebrated their festival with the future of the country with joy. The whole world is immersed in a sea of joy. In Berlin, the capital of democratic Germany, the children of Germany played with the children of comrades from all countries who assisted in the construction of Berlin. In the city of West Berlin, separated by a wall, on the same day as International Children's Day, the military and police of the Three Kingdoms carried out an inhumane massacre of unarmed gatherings, fully exposing the true face of imperialism!"
Khrushchev's speech was finally published in Pratyekabud, which spread throughout the Soviet Union within one day. The Children's Day tragedy in West Berlin also made the entire Soviet Union know through Pratyekabudud. Towns, villages, enterprises, and institutions, as long as the places that Pratyekabudududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududud
"Comrade Valia, have you heard of it? Many people died in West Berlin yesterday. Didn't your husband work in the National Security Council? Do you know any internal news?" The person who spoke was the minister in charge of primary education of the Ministry of Education. A woman in her forties has a higher proportion of women in the Ministry of Education system than other departments. However, the Minister of Education in Ukraine is still a man.
"Ah? The National Security Council is disciplined, he will not reveal it to me! Alijieya..." Valia explained to this colleague who is more knowledgeable and very sorry.
"Oh? I thought you knew something?" Alijieya shook her head in disappointment. This time she was disappointed that she did not satisfy her curiosity. She knew that Valia's husband was a KGB. Sometimes she could hear Valia talk about KGB. However, Valia was very careful not to involve important things, which made Alijieya very uncomfortable.
Watching Alijieya leave, Valia, who returned to the office, sat down slowly and carefully looked at the report of Pravda. She was unwilling to fall down every word. Her suspicious pretty face couldn't help but smile, "Is it really your style?"
The Soviet Union made a statement after Democratic Germany, and then Bulgaria followed up first, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Albania reported that condemning the Children's Day tragedy. Italy made a statement the next day, and Italian Prime Minister and Communist Party General Secretary Parimirotoriati said, "The actions of the three countries of Berlin occupation forces were simply shamed by democracy. Fourteen years have passed since World War II, and West Berlin is still under control by the occupying forces. The residents of West Berlin should be allowed to choose their own government to manage West Berlin!"
After Italy made a statement, the Communist Party of France, the Communist Party of Greece and other Communists within NATO expressed their support for the Italian Communist Party’s propositions. The World Youth Democratic League and the International Federation of Democratic Women issued a joint statement condemning the Three Kingdoms occupation forces for carrying out such fascist behavior on International Children’s Day.
Organizations continued to join the ranks of condemnation, and various solidarity and protests were continuously placed in the command of West Berlin, and also spread throughout the streets and alleys of West Berlin through the tweeters of the Berlin Wall.
The Three Kingdoms Occupy Forces issued a statement later claiming that this was an organized and premeditated riot in West Berlin and the consequences of a small group of communists provoking the residents of West Berlin. They hope that the people of West Berlin will understand where the enemy is and not bewitched by all the sweet words. At the same time, the British and French military and police were dispatched to maintain order in the city of West Berlin.
But then the United States and Britain tasted the taste of being stabbed in the back. The Charles de Gaulle government, who took office at the beginning of the year, issued a statement, "The incident in West Berlin has nothing to do with France. The French garrison in West Berlin did not participate in the suppression of the people from beginning to end. I believe no one saw French soldiers confronting the people on the streets, because our soldiers did not go out at all!" said a spokesperson for the Charles de Gaulle government.
Although Maurice Doles, General Secretary of the Communist Party of France, was incompatible with Charles de Gaulle, he gave the Charles de Gaulle government support this time. "Although I am reserved about some of General Charles de Gaulle's policies, France undoubtedly stands on the side of justice in this matter. We do not distinguish between positions, but only ask whether it is justice!" Maurice Doles' statement was also reported by French national media.
The French government's statement of turning against each other at the last minute caused public opinion to take a sharp turn for the whole incident, and the public opinion controlled by the United States was broken open a huge gap. The development of this matter caught the United States and Britain off guard. At the same time, General Charles de Gaulle, who received national support from France, announced that the French port temporarily banned the docking of the US fleet 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. The innate pride of the French people made them unwilling to bow their heads even when facing the United States. These two orders were called a symbol of France's restoration of independence.
After France made a statement, the US and British media that pushed the West Berlin incident to the Soviet Union infiltrated the Soviet Union instantly became silent. Unexpectedly, the newly-departed Charles de Gaulle government ruthlessly gave the United States and Britain a knife. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the French garrison in Berlin had indeed not been dispatched. At this time, even the newspapers in the Federal Republic of Germany were about to turn, which was not good news.
Soon the two countries adjusted their propaganda strategies, and in the face of domestic newspapers, they still did not change the direction of the wind. They then emphasized that the Soviet Union planned this incident, while in the face of foreign pages, they stopped talking about the West Berlin incident, turned a deaf ear to the criticism of the socialist camp, and ordered the representatives of the Three Kingdoms in West Berlin to negotiate with the Soviet Union.
