Chapter 743 Open Sesame (Additional Chapter 1)

“No one could live in Berlin for long and still have illusions. They saw the difficulties of life in Berlin but chose to accept them, and despite being surrounded by a totalitarian system that imprisoned human energy and hope, they continued to build this beautiful and proud city. It was a powerful voice that said "yes" to the city, to the future, and to freedom. In short, I would call this thing "love" - ​​deep and lasting love.”

“I want to close with one last word. I already know — I’ve been asked — that there were some demonstrations when I came here. I want to say one thing to those demonstrators, I don’t know if they realize that if they did have the kind of government that they want to have, nobody would be able to do what they’re doing.”

Reagan's speech finally ended. Looking at the expressions of the people below, he knew that he had achieved his goal: "These Germans, looking at the Berlin Wall and thinking about their compatriots on the other side, are full of hatred for the Soviets. This hatred is irreplaceable. At the same time, they should also know that the Americans are their saviors. Without the United States, there would be no free world of West Germany. The whole of Germany would be under the close surveillance of the KGB. The people would have no freedom, the system would be rigid, and they wouldn't even have enough to eat!"

Reagan put down his speech and wanted to walk back, but at this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd.

There was a commotion coming from the rear, facing the Brandenburg Gate, across the Berlin Wall, and the Soviets at the gate seemed to be making some movement!

What are they doing?

"Open, open!" A German behind shouted, "The door of the checkpoint here is open!"

This is originally a passage, but only those who have applied can pass through. Usually, the door here is closed. Now, just after Reagan finished his speech, the door here is slowly opening!

The steel barricades were moved aside, the barbed wire was also moved to one side, and two teams of tall soldiers in East German military uniforms stood beside the passage. An officer held a loudspeaker and shouted: "Fellow countrymen, now, residents of East and West Germany can pass freely here, but they are only allowed to walk! Moreover, you must hold valid citizenship documents of East and West Germany, please accept inspection!"

Reagan's face changed color instantly.

Reagan was not shocked by the door being opened, but was surprised by the Soviet Union's efficiency! When he was giving his speech, the content was simultaneously spread to the whole world, and in this short period of time, the Soviet high-level officials actually made the decision to open the opposite door! The Soviet decision-making body has always been bloated and huge. Reagan did not expect that they could open the door in such a short time!

Although this seems to be a slap in the face, it is also his own credit, which shows that the Soviets are afraid of the Western world. So, as soon as he called, the door opened! It is just like the "Open Sesame" in Alibaba! It opens as soon as he calls!

However, it seems that the East Germans are coming over, right? Why can't I see people coming over from the other side of the door? Don't the East Germans want to come to the free world of the West?

Reagan was left aside. At the same time, the bodyguards approached Reagan, ready to deal with possible changes. What if a large number of East Germans rushed over and wanted to attack Reagan's side?

Unfortunately not!

Meanwhile, a West German citizen, 40-year-old Heinrich, went to West Berlin to buy something when the Berlin Wall was built, but he could not go back. His wife and children stayed in East Berlin, and they have been separated ever since.

Just now, when Reagan shouted to open the door, Heinrich was very excited and his eyes were wet. Now, seeing that the door of East Germany was really opened, he no longer cared too much about whether it was a Soviet conspiracy or not. He strode towards the direction of the gate.

"Can I come in?" Heinrich took out his ID to prove that he was a citizen of West Berlin.

"Of course, welcome to beautiful East Berlin." The officer in charge of the inspection confirmed that Heinrich did not carry any prohibited items, weapons, etc., and let Heinrich go.

Putting his ID back into his pocket, Heinrich walked across the Berlin Wall. It had been twenty years, and he never thought that he would be able to come to this land again!

Breathing the air, Heinri hoped for all this. The general outline of the city had not changed. The buildings were still the same, just painted a new color.

However, twenty years have passed, and the shops on this street are no longer the same as before. Heinrich remembers it very clearly. Not far from the Berlin Wall, there should be a century-old shop specializing in salted pork trotters. But why is it gone now?

It seems like a new store has opened in the same place? The big sign above is not in German or Russian, but in... Japanese?

Heinrich was curious and originally planned to buy a few pork knuckles. He hadn't tasted authentic pork knuckles for more than 20 years. Now, his heart was filled with curiosity.

When he walked outside, he saw a model in the store window. The model was wearing a fashionable coat and had a conspicuous thing on her waist that extended to her ears through thin lines!

Walkman! This must be a store that sells Walkmans! Heinrich was excited when he saw this store. Walkmans are popular all over the world now. He hasn't seen his child for more than 20 years. Why not buy one for his child as a gift? However, the price over there is as high as 800 marks! How much more expensive will it be here? He only has 300 marks with him!

While hesitating, Heinrich walked to the door and a smiling oriental woman came up to him and said, "Dear customer, welcome. What would you like to see?"

"I want to see the Walkman," said Heinrich.

"Come this way." The woman took Heinrich to the counter. There were all kinds of Walkmans on the glass counter.

"Why does this Walkman seem a bit big?" Heinrich asked.

"Oh, this is our new product, it uses CDs. We have phased out the Walkman with cassettes. Of course, we still have a few models in stock. If you want a cassette Walkman, you can buy it for only 80 marks."
