"What a good actor." Watching the speech of the US President on the TV, Andre seemed to see the mustache. Back then, the German mustache was so inspiring!

"Behind me stands a wall, which surrounds the city's land of freedom, and is itself only part of a great barrier that divides the entire continent of Europe. From the Baltic Sea to the south, this barrier slashes across Germany, piercing everywhere. Full of barbed wire, poured concrete, dog patrols, guard towers. Further south, there may be no visible walls, but there are still armed guards and checkpoints - still restricting people's freedom of movement, still placing totalitarian The will of the state is imposed on every ordinary man and woman..."

"As long as this door remains closed, as long as the scars from this wall are allowed to exist, there will be not just a German problem, but a human freedom problem as a whole. I am not here to mourn, because I A hope has been found in Berlin, and even in the shadow of this wall there is still news of victory."

"Decades ago, when the people of Berlin stepped out of their hideaways, they found a mess. Thousands of miles away, the American people reached out. There was a Marshall Plan aid package, and our policy did not target Any country, any doctrine, we are targeting hunger, poverty, despair and chaos..."

"Americans, they want to divert domestic conflicts in Germany." Although that Reagan was still falling, Andrea knew President Reagan's purpose. Today, he delivered a speech at the door of the Brandenburg Gate. , is to divert the contradictions within NATO! Now the Germans are dissatisfied with their status quo and have begun to resent the United States. Therefore, Reagan must divert their attention and tell them that the greatest hatred comes from the Soviet Union! It was the Soviet Union that split them abruptly! Especially the Berlin Wall, which separated them from flesh and blood.

"Reagan's tactic is really vicious!" On the side, Foreign Minister Gromyko frowned. As this speech is broadcast live around the world, more and more Westerners will turn their hateful gazes away. to the Soviet Union. During the Cold War, the two sides confronted each other. For Westerners, the domestic economic crisis was one aspect, and the other main aspect was the hegemony with the Soviet Union!

The rise of the Soviet Union must be accompanied by a threat to them! And they can only fight against the United States and form a whole! In this way, their opposition to the United States will naturally be less!

"Andrei, what do you think we should do?" Andropov asked Andrei.

Originally, Andrei had planned to return to Uzbekistan, but it was because he heard that the Americans were going to give a speech at the Berlin Wall that Andrei postponed the trip and jointly studied the countermeasures.

"I guess Reagan will definitely make two demands, one is for both of us to reduce nuclear weapons, and the other is for us to tear down this wall." Andre said.

Just after he finished speaking, inside the TV, Reagan was waving his fists and shouting at the Berlin Wall.

"In the 1950s, Khrushchev predicted: 'We will bury you'. But today, our Western world is prosperous and peaceful. We are still enjoying what the free world has to offer. In front of the whole world, towering comes to a great and inevitable conclusion: freedom leads to prosperity, and freedom replaces the ancient hatred between nations with comity and tolerance. Freedom is the victor! And, as we can see, the Soviet Union is also undergoing reforms, and their economic enterprises have They are allowed to have more autonomy. They also began to tentatively carry out the market-oriented development of the economy, which is definitely not tinkering without changing the Soviet system! The Soviets have also realized that a free market can It will make society develop! And the progress of human freedom will only strengthen world peace. Soviet people, haven't you been advocating democracy and freedom? Don't you also recommend democratic elections in the Middle East? Don't you keep saying that you want to give to the world's human beings Bring happiness? Why watch the suffering of the German people divided? Soviets, please come to this door. Please open this door! Please tear down this wall! Please return Berlin, please return Happy German people!"

Andropov's eyes lit up: "Andrei, you really have the talent of a director. You know what this actor is going to say next!"

Andre also sighed in his heart. In later generations, Reagan's speech caused a sensation around the world, but at that time, the Soviet building was about to collapse, and the younger brothers in Eastern Europe did not want to follow the big brother for a long time. At that time, Reagan's speech successfully overthrew the Berlin Wall and made the Soviet Union lose control of Germany and Eastern Europe.

But what about now? The situation is different! Back then, the Berlin Wall was built because West Germany's economy was booming and developing very well, and East Germans kept fleeing to West Germany.

And now? The environment of East Germany is far better than that of West Germany! Needless to say, just a single high oil price has already pulled down the West German economy. High oil prices and high transportation costs have led to high living costs. Many companies are on the verge of bankruptcy, and the West German economy has declined rapidly. !

But what about East Germany? In the past few years, with the continuous reform of the Soviet Union, the economy of East Germany has also been constantly rejuvenated! Especially last year, Moscow set up a new microelectronics company in East Germany, producing Moscow-designed personal computers, which were sold throughout Eastern Europe!

Although the international oil price is very high, in the areas controlled by the Soviet Union, the socialist camp in the entire Eastern Europe still enjoys low-cost oil resources, which is also an advantage of the planned economy! The state monopolizes the production and sales of the entire oil. Externally, such as Western Europe, it is exported according to the international oil price, and internally, as long as it is higher than the cost! Therefore, the fuel in the gas station in East Germany is only one-fifth the price of West Germany!

Now, Reagan is still talking about the Berlin Wall, asking the Soviet Union to tear down the Berlin Wall, so that the Germans will no longer have to suffer from division. They seem to have forgotten that it was not only the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and France that proposed the plan to divide Germany. All agree!

Now, if the Berlin Wall is torn down, will East Germans still flee to the West? As long as West Germans understand the economic development and living costs of East Germany, I am afraid they are more willing to stay in East Germany!

Shooting himself in the foot, Reagan still does not understand the psychology of the Germans!

"I understand the horrors of war, the pain of separation that afflict this continent, and I assure you that my country will help overcome these obstacles, and in order to be safe our free world must resist Soviet expansion, so we Unbreakable defenses must be maintained. But we are also seeking peace, so we must also make efforts to reduce the armament of both sides. Now the Soviets have deployed hundreds of newer, more lethal SS-20 nuclear missiles, enough to destroy Every metropolis in Europe. We have to have a tit-for-tat deployment, and unless the Soviets agree to negotiate a better solution, in which both sides eliminate such weapons, the situation will have to stand still."

The issue of the Berlin Wall is over, and now Reagan continues to talk about nuclear disarmament. These words, like knives, are engraved in the hearts of the Germans. The Germans at the scene were temporarily fooled by Reagan. They looked at the Berlin Wall with hateful eyes, and they still remembered that they once had a home there.

Although the Americans have done so many things, Germany is very upset, but it was the aid of the United States and the implementation of the Marshall Plan that pulled Germany from the pit of the defeated country. Now, the Soviet Union’s aggressive offensive is still We have to rely on the United States to help, so many nuclear bombs will be thrown here at any time!

The Soviets, the Berlin Wall should be demolished and nuclear disarmament should be carried out! Reagan's speech successfully mobilized the minds of the Germans, and in their minds, this conclusion was formed.

"I think it's time to open this door," Andre said suddenly. (To be continued.)
