Chapter 939 The confrontation under the Berlin Wall
West Berlin had been surrounded by him as a large prison. In this case, Reagan entered West Berlin. Of course, Selov did not dare to kill him, but it was not difficult to do something. There were some agents from the socialist camp in the whole West Berlin. It was easy to create a little trouble to make Reagan embarrassed.
"You'd better not use the Berlin Wall to make a fuss. I'm not a Go map." Shelov took the information conveyed from Bonn and found that Reagan seemed to be really preparing to come to West Berlin, which was indeed very consistent with the image of a Cold War fighter.
The entire West Berlin currently has a population of two million. In fact, the urban area of West Berlin is not large. As long as Schellov thinks, people in the entire West Berlin city can hear the Internationale all, and of course, these Germans can also hear other things.
The current Democratic Germany and Federal Germany have not had a big gap in per capita indicators, and are basically at the same level. Because there are many pro-Soviet countries than in history, and Selov has made great efforts to build diversified Western Europe. Moreover, the Berlin Wall is taller and larger than in history, which can easily make the people of East Berlin feel like West Berlin is being imprisoned. The psychological advantages of the establishment of uninterrupted harassment for decades have made Democratic Germany very stable.
Even if a normal person is surrounded by a high wall, it will become abnormal over time. West Berlin has been surrounded for decades, and the tweeter is constantly harassing, the atmosphere in West Berlin is very bad. The oldest profession of human beings has developed well. The Germans' taste itself is relatively heavy, which is cheaper than the Three Kingdoms Occupation Army.
"If there is anything different between Eastern and Western Europe at present, it is that our men are men and women." Selov refers to the rock movement, which was a movement that was mainly attacked by the Soviet Union.
East Berlin had set up a more penetrating horn, and Reagan flew to West Berlin, showing his charm at the forefront of the Cold War confrontation, "This is the evil place of the Soviet Union." During the landing, Reagan, who looked down at the Berlin Wall from the sky, was full of confidence.
The establishment of the Berlin Wall itself is a manifestation of the Soviet camp's lack of confidence. As for West Berlin swallowing up the population of Democratic Germany and causing population losses to develop, a US president who believes that the richer the poorer the poorer the poorer the poorer the more he is? In Reagan's eyes, you are poor and you don't work hard, I am rich and I am oppressing you.
Reagan's arrival still caused a sensation in West Berlin. Hundreds of thousands of people went to the streets to welcome Reagan. This is the front line of the Cold War. The two forces are sharply opposed, but they maintain a magical balance. No one wants to retreat, and no one can move forward at the same time. Just like two stalemate cocks, although they have not fought, they are working hard. At this time, they are fighting for strength, endurance, and spirit, and to see who will drag down whom.
Reagan, who was warmly welcomed, certainly understood that there must be agents from the Soviet KGB or German Stasi in the crowd, and he was mentally prepared for this, but Reagan would never have imagined that these people were much more than he had imagined.
The establishment of the Berlin Wall was of course to prevent the population of democratic Germany from being the stronger Federal Germany at that time, but this barrier was regarded by the West as a "shame of human freedom". They vowed to push down this wall, but they were all in vain. The powerful Soviet Union was holding on there. In this way, the two sides were eyeing each other and were tense. Any movement could cause conflict. The Berlin Wall became the most vulnerable and sensitive political earthquake zone in the world.
Every time we need to show our strength, the US president will visit West Berlin. Kennedy during the Cuban missile crisis also caused a sensation in West Berlin at that time. However, in the 1970s, the sensation disappeared, and the Soviet Union became stronger and stronger. The people in West Berlin naturally had no confidence. After Reagan came to power, he began to regain the influence he had taken away by the Soviet Union. This made the West Berliners have a little hope, but their confidence is far less than that of the Kennedy era.
Kennedy's words, I was a Berliner, and happened to meet Khrushchev in power. In that era, Khrushchev was the big fool in the world's political arena. Kennedy's speech was directly pushed back by Khrushchev. Except for the one sentence I was a Berliner who was remembered, it basically had no effect. The Berlin Wall was an issue that could not be concessioned for the Soviet Union. Once it backed on this issue, it means that the Soviet Union had already undergone internal changes.
This is a question that no one can challenge. Reagan decided to challenge it and establish his fearless attitude at the forefront of the Cold War confrontation. Selov was already waiting, but the same thing was said, he was not a map of Go. Facing Reagan's intention to demolish the Berlin Wall, he also had to stand up and express his position. The head of the Democratic German Republic cannot afford to lose this spy. The little brothers are still gritting their teeth and insisting. The elder brother kneels first. What a joke?
Democratic Germany also gave face to the public. Knowing that the US president came to West Berlin and did not play the Internationale today, it showed great restraint. However, no one knew that a huge screen was on standby at any time. Once Reagan's itinerary was determined, the large screen would be erected.
Brandenburg Gate is located in the city center of Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is also the dividing line between East and West Berlin. The Berlin Wall was established here, and Reagan decided to give a speech in this symbolic place. The news that Reagan left the headquarters of the Three Kingdoms Occupy Army just leaked, and Honak, general secretary in East Berlin, ordered the assembly of the large screen.
"President Kennedy visited Berlin and spoke to the city and the people of the world in the city hall. After that, two presidents visited Berlin. Today, I myself have come to your city for the second time." Reagan turned his back to the Brandenburg Gate, and looked at the 100,000 people in West Berlin. He couldn't help but feel passionate in his heart, and took out his speech that he had prepared for a long time. "Our gathering today is broadcasting to the entire Western Europe and North America. I know that in the east, people are watching and listening. To those listeners in Eastern Europe, I have a word: Although I am not standing with you, I am also speaking to you, just as I am speaking to these people in front of me. Like you, your compatriots in the west, I have a firm and unchangeable belief, only one Berlin."
At this moment, a commotion occurred in the crowd, and some people were talking. Soon, people looked at Reagan's back with a surprised look. A giant screen was hanging up. Over the height of the Berlin Wall, the person above was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Reagan's biggest enemy in the world.
"Please continue, Mr. Reagan, I'm sorry, I can't come to Berlin, but I'd like to hear what you said." Serov pointed to the camera and said, "This goal can be achieved through some technical means. First of all, I must thank the German leaders for expressing their gratitude and causing trouble for the German comrades."
Selov's chilly voice sounded on the big screen, causing Reagan, who was facing away from the big screen, to shake slightly, but immediately returned to its original state. He looked back calmly, just like what Selov said, this was the first time the two of them had face-to-face. Selov actually couldn't see Reagan, he could only hear the sound. This big screen is one-way and is not very mature in technology.
Reagan pulled away from the distracting thoughts in his mind. This sudden attack caught him off guard, but the speech had to continue, just to think that there was an extra listener, but the attention of the more than 100,000 people below had been diverted.
"In West Berlin, a place that was still a ruin forty years ago, is now the largest industrial area in Germany, full of busy office areas, excellent residences and apartments, lively streets, and spreading park lawns. In the past, it seemed to be a cultural desert, there are now two of the best universities, orchestras and an opera house, countless theaters and museums. In the past, it was scarce, and now it is a great wealth of food, clothing, and cars on the streets of Kudam. On the ruins, from the destruction, you Berliners have rebuilt one of the greatest cities on the earth in freedom."
"Since Mr. Selov is listening, I will be honest, if you want the people of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to live a happy life, please open this door and tear off this big wall!" Reagan suddenly turned around and shouted at the big screen.
Under the entire Brandenburg Gate, all the West Berlin people gathered to cheer for a long time, and they also wanted to hear how the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union would respond.
"There is only one Germany and only one Berlin. Did Mr. Reagan forget that the Soviet Union promoted German reunification in the 1950s. We suggest that the United States should not establish NATO. If the United States agreed at that time, the Warsaw Pact would not exist." Selov's camera feels very good, but his cold face lost some points and seemed more arrogant. Due to technical reasons, he could not have a seamless conversation with Reagan, but would have to wait a few seconds before he could answer. "We suggest that Germany be unified, and at the same time, the United States and the Soviet Union withdraw German territory, which was the United States rejected the Soviet Union."
"On some surfaces, Western Europe does seem more energetic, but we have not made the people hungry," Selov said calmly, "We have agreed to negotiate medium-range missiles, and have also made some gestures. But this cannot end with the unconditional retreat of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union cannot watch Nicaragua be subverted by imperialist forces, and cannot allow the tragedy of Grenada to repeat."
"Reagan, if I agreed to the unification of Germany, the United States and the Soviet Union withdrew from German territory and turned Germany into a truly neutral country, would you agree? If you agree, then you can start negotiations now." Shelov suddenly laughed, but immediately turned into a cold face again, "You won't agree, so the United States has no value."
