Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 1878 Historical moment 4

Early the next morning, the whole of Berlin, and even the whole of Germany, couldn't help but feel restless. For nearly 30 years, the Berlin Wall has always been a shackle that plagues the Germanic nation. One nation, brothers in the same robe; completely separated by a wall. Although it has been opened before, allowing people from East and West Germany to communicate with each other; but it has not been demolished and may be closed at any time. More of a temporary nature, or the government can not stand the pressure.

Once a strongman is in power, it will be completely ignored; it is still unknown whether it will be closed again. Now the official decision is to dismantle it directly; it means that there is no possibility of closing it in the future; the people are naturally ecstatic.

The demolition of the Berlin Wall is not only a great victory for Germany; including Western countries headed by the United States!

Whether the Berlin Wall is erected or dismantled, it is a major event in the development of human history; some scholars believe that whether it is erected or dismantled; for Western countries, it is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

However, for the Soviet Union, whether it was built or demolished, it was a failure; because it was built when the Soviet Union failed to deal with the Berlin crisis, it was regarded as a kind of lack of self-confidence!

Rome was not built in a day, but the Berlin Wall seemed to appear in front of everyone overnight!

Construction began in 1961 and went through four stages in total. In 1961, it was a barbed wire fence, so it could be paved overnight; in the second year, East Germany found that the simple barbed wire fence was not effective, and it could be easily crossed with a vise; so starting in 1962, it took three years to strengthen the barbed wire fence. is its second style.

After the reinforced barbed wire was built, East Germany made up its mind to pour concrete walls along the barbed wire for ten years; it was not until 1975, when the last section was cast, that the complete Berlin Wall was completed.

Then it was constantly repaired and improved, and some places were built as a Type 75 border wall; it was done beautifully. This construction did not stop until 1989; it has entered the fourth style.

In fact, both East Germans and West Germans are Germans. Germans have strong national pride, and they don't like this kind of division from the bottom of their hearts. During World War I and World War II, they even yearned for the unified Holy Roman Empire in their hearts. But the identity of the defeated country in World War II left them with no choice; they could only be caught between the two big countries and let others slaughter them.

The United States and Western countries are acting good when they get cheap, and there are frequent incidents of agitating to overturn the wall, resulting in frequent incidents of beating and killing people at the border. The West mobilizes the media and scolds every day; it is a violation of human rights, and it is a reckless disregard of human life.

And has been calling for: tear down the Berlin Wall. They knew that such an appeal made the Germans feel much warmer. They also know that the Soviet Union and East Germany will never tear down the wall; in fact, Western countries themselves are not willing to tear down the wall, because it is a good card to attack the Soviet Union and East Germany.

When the Berlin Wall fell, it was the people of East and West Germany who were really happy. They were purely happy without any political factors. Others, the American and British politicians who gave speeches around the Berlin Wall just used the Berlin Wall as a prop. Don't look at the constant talk about human rights, in fact they don't care about the life and death of Germans!

It took more than ten years to build the Berlin Wall, but it can be dismantled; one morning is enough. At this time, it is no longer clear whether the people of East Germany or West Germany. Will help as long as I can.

Germany itself started from industry, and has never lacked large-scale machinery and equipment; the construction companies in Berlin seem to have made an appointment. No one went to work, all came to the foot of the Berlin Wall.

At this moment, Berlin is the focus of the whole world, and journalists from all over the world are rushing to report. At present, the international mainstream media is basically controlled by the United States and Western countries; it has been reporting that the Berlin Wall should not exist. Now that it has finally been dismantled, it will certainly be considered a great victory. And taking the opportunity to discredit the Soviet Union can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Just when the people of Germany and Germany were in full swing to demolish the Berlin Wall, the richest man Bao came to the presidential palace!

Perhaps it is clear that the super rich are very concerned about security issues, so the security personnel of the Black Cloud Group are allowed to enter the presidential palace; this is rare in history, and it can be said to give enough face.

Manfred Gerlach did not choose the reception room, but met Bao Zixuan in the office. There are only two people in the whole process, including the German level of the richest man; another bonus point!

Many things are still unclear, and the less people know, the better; as a president, you must consider for the country and the nation, and see if the other party is worthy of entrustment.

Manfred Gerlach said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, hello! I have heard of your name a long time ago, but I have never seen it. As the most successful businessman in the world, I would like to know your views on East German politics and economics. What is your opinion!"

Go straight to the topic when you come up, and don't give any time to think.

It can only be said that everything is forced by the situation, and too much time is not allowed to be wasted. After the Berlin Wall was dismantled, it was necessary to discuss the specific details of the merger of the two Germanys; then, the issue of how to deal with enterprises in East Germany naturally had to be put on the agenda.

What kind of personality is Bao Zixuan, a typical man in science and engineering? The East German intelligence department still investigates in detail. They pay great attention to efficiency in doing things, which is somewhat similar to the Germanic nation! There is no need to test each other, that will only cause misunderstanding!

At this moment, Bao Shoufu is also thinking about how to answer the other party's question. With the removal of the Berlin Wall, it will eventually end with the annexation of East Germany into West Germany. Even if you don't want to admit it, you can't do it. East Germany failed in power!

Expose people without revealing their shortcomings, and beat people without slapping them in the face; it is easy to make people feel disgusted if they say it in person. But if you don't tell the truth, it will make people feel that you are not sincere enough.

Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said: "I heard it before, and I think it is true! West Germany has inherited nothing but the Iron Cross; East Germany has inherited everything except the Iron Cross. Although it is a bit exaggerated, But to a certain extent, it reflects the characteristics of East Germany and West Germany. In most people's impressions, the East German army is full of military virtues, and its military appearance is quite mighty; while the West German army is poor, and its troops show some freedom. , a loose state."

"Although East Germany's army is more powerful than West Germany's, its economy is not as good as West Germany's. Statistics show that East Germany's per capita GDP is only 1/4 of that of West Germany, and the income of employees is 1/3 of that of West Germany; labor productivity is only 1/4 of that of West Germany. 30%, the import and export trade is 1/10 of West Germany; the level of technology is 20 years behind West Germany!"

"Of course, this does not mean that East Germany's official governing ability is worse than that of West Germany. It is more of a congenital deficiency. Historically, the German economic structure has always been rich in the west and poor in the east. The West Rhine River Basin has been the most prosperous in Germany and even in Europe since the Middle Ages. Prosperous areas. The most developed areas in Germany are mostly concentrated in the west."

"Before World War II, the industrial output of eastern Germany accounted for only 18% of the country's total output. In addition, East Germany's land area, resource reserves and population were all inferior to West Germany. In general, in terms of economy, East Germany was inherently inferior to West Germany Germany."

"During World War II, the battle situation on the Eastern Front of Europe was far more tragic than that on the Western Front. Many battles with huge casualties took place in Eastern Europe and eastern Germany. Under such circumstances, the war losses in eastern Germany were much higher than in western Germany. World War II 45% of the industries in the central and eastern regions were destroyed, while only 20-30% of the industries in the western regions were destroyed. East Germany was originally inferior to West Germany, and suffered greater damage during the war. Naturally, it was difficult to reach the level of West Germany~www .readwn.com~During the Cold War, East Germany and West Germany were actually agents of the Soviet Union and the United States respectively. The strategic decisions of the Soviet Union and the United States had a major impact on East Germany and West Germany respectively. As we all know, the United States It is the largest economic power in the world, and it did not suffer too much loss in World War II. Therefore, after the war, the Marshall Plan was formulated to use a lot of money to aid the development of West Germany. Compared with West Germany, East Germany lacks rich donors. Although its backer, the Soviet Union, has strong military strength, its economy is far inferior to that of the United States."

"The strategic line of the Soviet Union had a major impact on East Germany. After the establishment of East Germany, its system copied the Soviet Union; it completely adopted the Soviet model. During Brezhnev's administration, the disadvantages of the Soviet model became more and more obvious, and East Germany was also affected by it; Coupled with the failure to correct it in time, it has become more and more harmful; it will eventually affect the economic development of East Germany."

"Of course, East Germany worked hard to carry out domestic construction despite its low starting point; it eventually became the economically richest country in the Soviet and Eastern camps. The spirit of hard work and hard work of the East German people is worth learning."

"There are many East German employees in Black Cloud, and I can see the excellent qualities of the Germanic nation from them; they left a very deep impression on me."

It's not very thorough, and some things are not easy to say from outsiders; or it can be regarded as reserved. But the whole is still very pertinent; at least there is no perfunctory!
