Red Soviet Union

As the day passed, Diepgen, the mayor of West Berlin, reported to several people in the conference room of the government building with a worried look on his face.

At 11 o'clock today, the Berlin Wall at the Brandenburg Gate opened. People from both sides can come and go freely. When the East Germans checked the passers-by, we also urgently set up guard posts to check the passers-by. , to prevent the infiltration of KGB agents, and at the same time, we have also obtained specific statistics.” Dipgen was very worried, and he looked at the few people in front of him, German Chancellor Helmut, US President Reagan, and the US Secretary of State George and others, his heart was full of complaints. Damn it, for such a big event, no notice was given in advance. Now, the matter has turned into such a result!

Well, how many East Germans are unwilling to return to West Germany? At this time, Helmut was still full of confidence. Ever since the Berlin Wall was built, people from East Germany have always wanted to flee to West Germany, but no West German has ever wanted to go to East Germany. Now, as this channel is opened, there should be many East Germans who never return, right?

Today's statistics show that by seven o'clock in the evening, when the gate was closed, a total of 2,300 West Germans had walked through the Berlin Wall and reached the opposite side. Among them, 1,800 returned before the gate closed. Hundreds of them, including 500 people from West Germany, stayed in East Germany and did not return. From East Germany, 863 people came to West Germany, and the number of people who returned was 742.”

Since many West Germans fled into East Germany when the gate was first opened, this data is only approximate and not accurate. However, they have detailed records of those who came from East Germany.

So few? Reagan was immediately moved. In order to protect his safety, they left there after the gate was opened. Afterwards, newspapers all over the world announced that Reagan had won a great victory. When Reagan shouted, the Berlin Wall was forced to open the passage. Liberty and democracy will prevail!

However, this result surprised everyone. How is this possible?

Yes, except those who stayed overnight in East Germany to meet relatives, we estimate that half of the 500 people stranded in East Germany will choose to stay in East Germany. Dipgen He continued: The situation on the first day makes us not optimistic, and more importantly, the pockets of the more than 1,800 people we returned are almost empty.

Empty pockets? Hearing this, Helmut asked, What's going on here?

They consumed in East Germany. Most of the consumer goods are electronic products, personal computers, walkmans, game consoles, etc. The prices on their side are much lower than those on our side, so when they After entering East Germany and discovering the cheapness of electronic products, they all began to snap up them. It is said that those who went later could no longer buy electronic products, and they were out of stock. We predicted that tomorrow, the flow of people will increase sharply , maybe tens of thousands of people will go to East Germany to search for treasures. These electronic products are their favorite. Dipgen said: The East Germans must have prepared in advance, dig a hole, and wait for us. Jumped in. It is estimated that cheap electronic products from East Germany will spread throughout Germany tonight. We have increased the police force in advance to prevent congestion and accidents at the passage at the Brandenburg Gate tomorrow.

Damn it! After hearing this, Helmut was finally moved. This is simply cutting the blood of West Germany!

West Germany has a developed economy and is the pride of the whole of Western Europe in terms of industry. However, in terms of the electronics industry, West Germany has shortcomings. They are not comparable to the United States, nor are they comparable to the island countries.

And when the Soviet Union occupied the island country, it took advantage of the island country's electronic technology, and, taking advantage of the Soviet Union's planned economy, the country invested a lot of money to advance the electronic technology by decades! The electronic advantage of the West over the Soviet Union has completely disappeared!

In order to sanction the island countries that have taken refuge in the Eastern camp,

The entire NATO has imposed high tariffs on the products of the island countries, and at the same time to protect domestic electronics companies. This has allowed the German electronics industry to further develop. However, there is still a gap in the island countries, and high tariffs are levied. , Electronic products from island countries that have entered their own markets are still selling well, which is an example.

But this time, the opening of the Berlin Wall suddenly allowed cheap electronic products from the East to occupy their own market! From now on, our electronics industry will be severely impacted by the East! This danger cannot be overstated!

Although he didn't see it in person, Helmut could still imagine the excitement on the faces of his citizens walking across the Berlin Wall with heavy computers on their backs! For ordinary people, they only care about the cost-effectiveness of goods, and never care about national interests!

what to do? The best way is to convene a meeting immediately to draft a new law to levy a consumption tax on cheap electronic products purchased by ordinary people from East Germany! Only by making up the price difference can this kind of action be stopped!

However, if you do this, your own government will lose its prestige!

Thinking of this, Helmut couldn't help but look aside. Originally, he had vowed to state that after the opening of the Berlin Wall, the Soviets lost all face and won another great victory for themselves. He preached that NATO can only fight against it if it is united under the US-led system. Dongfang, in the blink of an eye, was slapped in the face.

Originally, in a few months, Helmut would step down, and his term of office as prime minister was coming to an end. Who would have thought that such a big event would happen at this moment!

President Reagan, what advice do you have regarding the current situation? Helmut asked.

As the culprit, the current Reagan must give Germany an explanation! It was going well, but I had to come to the Berlin Wall to give a speech. I thought I could divert the crisis, but who knows, things took a magical turn again!

Chancellor Helmut, don't be nervous. Can such a small matter stop us? Reagan said, Whatever the price of electronic products in East Germany, we will sell them at the same price. Can the situation be reversed? Do we still need to discuss this kind of business competition trick?

Faced with Reagan's answer, Helmut was finally speechless, and Diepgen couldn't help explaining: The problem is that the price of electronic products in East Germany has exceeded our cost. If we compete, Enterprises still have to lose money? (To be continued.)
