Chapter 740 There Is Only One Berlin

The Berlin Wall is a pain in the hearts of Germans.

Back then, as a defeated country in World War I, the Germans were humiliated. They shared a common hatred and launched the Second World War, spreading the flames of war to the whole of Europe. The speech of the little mustache was inspiring. If the little mustache had not interfered with the tactical command and had not made a series of mistakes, perhaps the swastika flag would be flying all over Europe by now.

The little mustache finally failed. As the culprit who started the war, the little mustache burned himself to death. The whole of Germany also became a sinner for starting the Second World War. Sinners have no right to speak. When the Eastern and Western troops, who had cooperated closely in the war, successfully joined forces in Berlin, the prelude to the Cold War was also launched.

Berlin was divided into two, the whole of Germany was divided into two, and the division of Germany began!

Later, for various reasons, the people of East Germany, which was supported by the Soviet Union, longed to belong to the West, so they kept fleeing from East Germany to West Germany, and East Germany suffered great losses as a result.

Since 1952, East Germany has closed the border between the two Germanys, and only the border between East and West Berlin remains open. A large number of East German citizens went to West Germany and other Western countries via West Berlin, resulting in a serious outflow of a large number of technical talents and labor. For example, the loss of human resources brought direct losses to East Germany of up to tens of billions of US dollars. The loss of young labor caused East Germany to lose 22.5 billion marks in education investment, and the loss of professors and other intellectuals added difficulties to East Germany's economic construction.

In order to reduce losses and prevent East Germans from escaping to West Germany, a dividing line across Berlin was formed at the behest of the Soviet Union. This is the Berlin Wall! After four constructions, the current Berlin Wall has become a Type 75 border fence, consisting of UL12.11 type supporting wall components, each 3.6 meters high and 1.2 meters wide. A smooth pipe is placed on top to make it difficult to climb. It can withstand the impact of vehicles rushing through the fence.

In fact, this is the Berlin Wall in a narrow sense, which is more than 100 kilometers long. In a broad sense, demarcation lines were set up along the entire border between East and West Germany. Therefore, it was impossible for East Germans to bypass the Berlin Wall. Not only could they not pass through the city of Berlin, but they could not pass through any place in the entire East Germany!

After the Berlin Wall was built, there were still many East Germans who wanted to break through it. Some drove cars to force their way through, and some used hot air balloons. They used all kinds of methods, and staged many touching stories.

Therefore, as long as we do something about the Berlin Wall, we can mobilize the emotions of the Germans!

Brandenburg Gate, West Berlin.

Located in the center of Berlin, it was originally a gate of the Berlin Wall and was named after the gate leading to Brandenburg. Historically, King Frederick William II of Prussia ordered the reconstruction of the Brandenburg Gate to commemorate Prussia's victory in the Seven Years' War, which led to its current structure.

This is a neoclassical sandstone building, modeled after the colonnade architecture of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The flat roof is supported by 12 Doric columns, each 15 meters high and 1.75 meters in diameter at the bottom. There are 6 Ionic columns on each side of the east and west. There are walls between the front and back columns, dividing the gatehouse into 5 gates. The passage in the middle is slightly wider and is designed for royal family members to pass through.

On this day, the sky was clear with white clouds floating in the air. Several tables were set up in front of the Brandenburg Gate, facing the Berlin Wall. Behind the tables were already filled with high-ranking West German officials. German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt was looking at President Reagan, who was slowly standing behind the bulletproof glass and speaking at the microphone, with uneasy eyes.

In 1969, Helmut became the Minister of Defense of West Germany. In 1974, Chancellor Brandt resigned and Helmut became the new Chancellor of Germany. Until now, according to the plan, he will retire at the end of this year. Although he can finally relax then, the chaotic situation in Germany now makes him unable to feel at ease.

President Reagan personally visited Germany, of course, to discuss the issue of using the Mark to settle oil. The entire West Germany expressed support for this matter, and was even grateful! If the Mark could be used to settle oil, Germany could save a lot of foreign exchange! They would be able to change the status quo and invest more money in social welfare.

However, they knew that this was just a delusion. The Americans came here to put pressure on Germany! The Americans would not take Germany's interests into consideration! When necessary, the Americans would unceremoniously use the method of shearing wool and plunder Germany's economy to revive the United States!

It was agreed that a formal meeting would be held today, but now Reagan is here!

What exactly was Reagan going to say? And what kind of shock would this statement bring to Germany? At this moment, Helmut was sitting here with some trepidation in his heart, just like a primary school student who got zero points on the test and went home.

There were military police around to maintain order. In order to prevent sniper attacks from the opposite side, bulletproof glass was specially installed. Everything was ready. Reagan stood in front of the microphone and began his performance.

He really likes this kind of performance.

"Chancellor Helmut, Mayor Diepgen, ladies and gentlemen." Reagan's words were very infectious. Through the loudspeaker, his voice echoed over the Brandenburg Gate, spread to the other side of the Berlin Wall, spread to the entire Berlin, and spread to the whole world with the radio!

"Twenty-four years ago, President John F. Kennedy visited Berlin and spoke to the people of the city and the world in the city hall. Since then, two presidents have visited Berlin. Today, I myself have come to your city. I am here today because no matter where I go, no matter what I do, I have a box in Berlin." Reagan continued: "This meeting of ours is being broadcast to all of Western Europe and North America. I know that in the East, people are watching and listening. To those listening in Eastern Europe, I have a message: Although I am not standing with you, I am speaking to you, just as I am speaking to these people before me. I share with you and your compatriots in the West a firm and unchangeable belief: There is only one Berlin."
