East Berlin's June Boat Song

====================================

*****Written at the end

--main character

Rhein Müller

original characters.

The simplest and most popular German name, because he's just a normal guy.Perhaps his father's identity brought him a little different background, but that background alone would not allow him to experience all this.Rhine is not a perfect character, and even has many shortcomings. He is full of beauty, impulse without considering the consequences, and many things are taken for granted... But he lost his parents when he was young, and dropped out of school at the age of 14 after the war. In the street, the level of education is low. In Sonia's words, "I haven't even read a few books", and in Milk's words, "At least I don't look like an illiterate", so please forgive him for being stupid sometimes, If you can't see the situation clearly, you won't be able to play with those people in the end.This is not a fairy tale, but a somewhat cruel reality story.

Everyone should like Little Rhine quite a bit. I read that some readers said that he is a double-faced dog. Huh, although it is a bit sad, I have already scolded him through Richard. The one who has something to do with you is Save, don't save if it doesn't matter, but isn't this a normal person?Who can be so great and treat everyone equally?

In fact, many times, for Rhine, it is not a decision of right and wrong. For him, there is no "yes" or "no", but a value judgment, that is, "should" or "should not". , and value judgments are often not so-called correct or not, and you can only make choices based on your own mind.I put him in such a story, and I often watched him walk by himself.The joy of creation is here. To a certain extent, Rhine went on by himself, and as an author, he just created the environment for him.

And this environment is extremely cruel.When I wrote the last 30 years of separation, I was almost too painful to write. I used No. 1 to say that writing was too painful, as if I was going through it all.Huh, maybe the readers and friends who read the article are also the same.

Julian Konstantinovich Azrael

(ЮлианКонстантинович Азрель)

Semi-original characters.

"Julian" is taken from the Roman emperor known as "the apostate", and "Azrael" is the "angel of death" who sounded the second trumpet in the Bible, which means that the angel and death are united in his body.He has eyes as clear as Lake Baikal, a pure and beautiful face, and once possessed kindness and kindness, but he is also cruel and bloodthirsty. I don’t have many direct expressions in the article, only the last part where he chopped with an ax alive People have manifested it once.It is not difficult to find that his psychology is actually distorted or even abnormal, so he instinctively yearns for simplicity and simplicity.As for why he said several times that he wanted to be Rhine's father, in fact, to a certain extent, it was because he abandoned his parents and subconsciously wanted to get back that feeling. What is the term in psychology?I forgot, but that's the way he shows love, not the way a normal person shows love.

As for his "betrayal", it is reflected in the confrontation he made up his mind at the end, but to be honest, I agree with Sonia about this confrontation, it was because of Rhine who lost his head and lost his mind. Decide.Because what they are fighting against is this era, and even he has little power.

The political experience refers to Marshal Zhukov. "Konstantinovich" is actually Marshal Zhukov's father's name. In fact, it is simply "the master of high meritorious service". a lot of.In the Soviet Union, I don't need to say more about the ending after being removed from power. Beria said he would be shot.And the only way is to withdraw from the political arena without any charges like Marshal Zhukov did.

Julian is not a likable character, but I love him deeply, just like what Rhine said in the article, I can’t tell whether I love him out of pity or what, if I say pity, he is regarded as the first row in this article on the number.Everyone looks at him through the perspective of Rhine. If you really want to explore him in detail, you can get out and look at him from the perspective of God, and you will understand him better.

For example, how did he feel when he built the Berlin Wall with his own hands?How did he spend those 30 years?

And, let's think about it, how would he feel when he knew that Richard had obtained information about Rhine many years ago and wanted to send Rhine to him to play a "beauty trap"?I guess, he must also be secretly happy, and now there is a legitimate reason to keep Rhine by his side, but with joy comes more complicated emotions, after all, this is a road of no return.

——Supporting actors (by country)

*Soviet Union:

Sasha Kopatsky (СашаКопацкий)

real historical figures. (I can't think of it!)

Yes, Sasha is a real historical figure.Double agent, most of the history called him Alexander Sasha Kopatsky, "Sasha" is his code name in the Soviet Union, in fact, "Aleksander" is hidden behind "Sasha", Because close friends call him Sasha, he decided on this code name.In the United States, he is called "Igor Grigorievich Olov", and his code name is also "Olov".He has many other names, so I won't introduce them one by one here.Historically, he was a person who specialized in beauty tricks, helping the Americans send East German women to Soviet officers to gather intelligence and instigate rebellion.This article also refers to his action, but Sasha in the article only borrows his name and strategy, and his background is different.

Sasha can be said to be one of my favorite characters, and I cried for six days when I wrote him to death.His rebellion, his teasing, seemed so absurd and cruel at first, but later he felt that this world didn’t make any sense to him, so why should he pursue such a reason for what he wanted to do? Woolen cloth?

Sonia Dunecka (Соня Дунечка)

original characters.

The name comes from Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" in which the heroine "Sonia" and the actor's sister's name "Dunechka" are combined and simplified.

I did not explain why she helped the KGB monitor Julian in the article, because there are all kinds of reasons, her background, her position, and even emotions... These readers and friends can Imagine yourself, the space for thinking will be larger.Her feelings for the protagonists are also complicated and need to be understood carefully.Her final suicide was actually not that great, because to a certain extent, Julian stepped down, and even if she was a member of the KGB, she could not escape the crime by helping to hide it for so long.So in the case of three deaths or one death, she made a choice.But is it great?I don't know, all I know is that at least Sonia is awake, and she does see the situation clearly.

Yevgeny Petrovich Pitovranov

(Евгений Петрович Питовранов)

real historical figures.

The position of the director of the KGB in Karlshorst has actually been changing all the time. This article is all set to him, so like Julian, he has sat in this position for long enough.

So, is he also feared by others?Will it be feared by others?

I didn't write clearly why he was willing to become an abandoned child, because that is not important, what is important is that he was also forced to make this decision.From this point of view, no matter who it is, there is really no escape.

Of course, he didn’t die so early in history, and his tenure was only four years (1953-1957). He was gentle, wore gold-rimmed glasses, but liked to hunt wild boars. , it ended up giving him such a miserable ending.I'm sorry Colonel, please let me go woohoo.

Historically, from 1957 to 1961, the head of the Karlshorst agency was Alexandr Mikhailovich Kolokotov, who had been at odds with KGB Chairman Shelepin, who finally managed to weaken him The power of the KGB in East Berlin was reduced, so Yevgeny's experience also borrowed from this.

Ansolov (Ансолов)

original characters.

This old comrade has nothing to say, but one thing, readers and friends can think about it, what role did he play in helping deliver things to Sonia in the Rhine that day?

Does he really know nothing?

Alyosha (Алеша)

original character

Loyal Alyosha, everyone praises his steely knees and loyalty! (I'll watch the Soviet political commissar dance on TikTok when I'm fine, hahaha, those knees are amazing.)

Natasha (Наташа)

original characters.

Poor Swallow, finally free Swallow.The worst thing about the KGB is this, ruining countless young and beautiful girls.A brilliant marksman who died under Alan's hands, second only to Alan's top medical student, but why is it a swallow?

* East Germany:

William Zessel

real historical figures.

After stepping down in 53, he should have gone to jail, but he was not shot.His wife Annie is also original. I didn't find out what his wife's name was, and his son should not have died.

They were sincere towards Rhine, but there was nothing they could do. Even the head of the Ministry of National Security was powerless.Alas, sigh deeply.

Erich Mielke

real historical figures.

Except for the emotional line, what is written in the article is roughly consistent with the real history.He has been in charge of the Stasi in East Germany since then, and has a bad (or even bad) historical evaluation.

Was it annoying when the character first came out?But then I felt that although this psychopath was always at odds with Rhine, it never actually hurt him?So sometimes, we can't look at what a person says, but what he does.I actually like this character better, because he is complex enough, and sometimes inexplicably cute.Especially when it comes to emotions.

Markus Johannes "Mischa" Wolf

real historical figures. (I can't think of it!)

It's Misha!Markus Wolf, code-named "Misha", the famous "hidden man" in history, and later the director of the Stasi's foreign intelligence bureau, of course, he was a brilliant student in history, and he was in charge of "" at a young age. Volcano Economics Academy" is a very, very powerful person.Because I was afraid that everyone would go to Baidu to know that Mi Xia was not dead, so I changed his name and code name, and finally changed it back by changing the name.

In history, he and Milk have been at odds, fighting for decades. Of course, I also found a reason for them in the article. They love each other secretly, haha, I am such a clever little ghost .

Andy Weasley

original character

Andy is a representative of ordinary East Germans. From him, we can see how ordinary people lived at that time. It can only be said that for ordinary civilians after the defeat, it was a gloomy day.

But Andy is a perfect little angel, but it's just too bad luck.

But who can be blamed?

Dunn Bazel

original character

Ordinary Stasi representatives are educated and have faith, so they are not confused.I have always received this kind of education, so I don't question it, but it doesn't mean that I don't have my own views and choices.

He is Rhine's subordinate and even his good friend.Let's applaud him too!

*British:

Alan Cloud

original characters.

Let me cry for Alan for a few more days, woo hoo.

The representative of the infatuated person, six years, six years, he said that to Sasha.Every time I think of this, I can't help crying. If readers are interested, you can read the chapters where he appeared. Under those cynical appearances, there is a sad heart hidden.

Seeing that Sasha likes Rhine, I have to match Rhine and Julian, so that the person I like can feel the same despair as myself, and I still think about Sasha at the last moment of my life, woo, Sasha was in the underground prison at that time He held Rhine in his arms and cried, and the tears must have been shed for Allen.

Do you say Sasha regrets it?Does Alan regret it?

Huh, I don't know either.I cried many times because of them, and as soon as I touched them, I would lose my sanity, and I probably lost my head too.

George Blake

real historical figures.

He is a legendary spy in history. Some readers once said that his code name is "Diamond". Yes, this is indeed his code name, but it is a very secret code name. It was not until 1960 that MI[-] was in the KGB's confidential documents. So it was impossible for Rhine to say that he was a "famous diamond" before that.And "Mole" is his well-known code name in MI[-], and "Diomede" is his code name when he signed the espionage contract with the KGB. I found these from relevant documents, and they are well-documented. Test Oh.

Before that, a smoke bomb has been set off to make everyone think that George will receive the lunch, but in fact he lived for a long time and died only in 2020.He has been living happily in the Soviet Union, but unfortunately the Soviet Union disintegrated, and his faith also collapsed. Russia even considered whether to expel him, hateful!snort!

Donald Wesson

original characters.

He's actually quite a cute guy, isn't he?

*American:

Richard Helms

real historical figures.

The reason why he was chosen was because he was indeed a handsome little job when he was young, and he had been active in Germany before the war, but he was not engaged in medicine, but in journalism, he spoke German very well, and he even interviewed Hitler.Later, he served as the director of the CIA's Berlin operation base (of course, this position has been changing), and was promoted to the director of the CIA in 66.

What kind of feelings does he have for Rhine?It is certain that he is looking at Randall through Rhine, so, is there a possibility that he also sees himself in Rhine?

Especially after he controlled Rhine in the United States, Rhine saw in him what kind of tragic end it is to wait for hopelessness, and to Rhine, he probably saw himself who had been watching.

Or maybe, he felt sorry for Rhine. As an elder brother, he became an important part of destroying his life.His mood is also very complicated.

Always, this is another complicated guy, but because of his complexity, I like him too.

Frank Rowlett

real historical figures.

Operation Gold, the American head of the Berlin Tunnel, came from the CIA's D staff.Of course there are adaptations of the appearance and so on, a cute one.I'm not going to tell you guys that I was too lazy to come up with a name so I went to the berlin base of operations and picked him up, lol.Of course it's not that early to die!

About creation:

This is the first time I have challenged to write a multi-line story with No.1 title, and I can barely write it clearly.The writing style of this article is not so "European", I did it on purpose, because the content of the story is a bit complicated, and the names are relatively long, plus it involves the "Soviet Union", I want the writing style to be more "Su", so I refer to it The translation style of many Russian classics.

At the end of the reading, it should not be difficult for readers to find out that this is not a pure love novel. I have written many characters around the male protagonists. Is this a group portrait?It should count.It was an era about belief, about survival, about silent war... It was actually a cruel era. In this era, it is difficult for people to be pure, and it is even more difficult to be pure.

The characters in this article are not really "good guys". Maybe we shouldn't use "good" or "bad" to judge them. Everyone sticks to their own standpoint and does what they think is right. How is it to be judged that the consequences may benefit some and harm others?Can't comment, because we also take a stand.

Just like Rhine, he did have a kind nature, but he killed so many people.For the female agent in the green shirt and some defectors who died under Rhine's gun, Rhine was the devil, and his kindness never gave them anything.And Julian, not to mention Sasha, their kindness is to the people around them. From Andy's perspective, these two people are god damn, but from Sonia's perspective, these two people are hers. The pillars of life.

In addition, except for the place geheimnis, which is fictitious in the book, all the place names that appear in the book are real place names.Except, of course, places like The White Mansion.I couldn’t test the evidence to go to the homes of those big people. Huh, when it comes to textual research, the names of the Soviets really tortured me. Their institutions are so complex that they are jaw-dropping. I have simplified it as much as possible, at least to the point that everyone can understand. degree. (I have checked so much information and still haven’t fully understood it, really, it’s too scary, I don’t even want to touch the Soviet system anymore)

Regarding the last 30 years of separation, if readers are more careful, they will find that I have been counting the years and writing the whole book, which feels like a countdown, and the end of the copywriting is 1992, so it is impossible to count until 1992. , so their parting has actually been implied.

By the way, if you have time, you can turn back occasionally and click on any chapter, you may be pleasantly surprised, because I have buried a lot of foreshadowing in the grass snake gray line, which is really huge.Sometimes even a look and a smile.For example, when Rhine returned to the white mansion again, Sonia looked unhappy. What was she thinking at that time? The last paragraph of chapter 58 is actually not just referring to George alone, but to some extent can refer to all the main characters.Sasha fell in love with Rhine because of guilt, Julian pursued Sasha at a loss because of guilt, Allen could die for Rhine because of guilt, and even Sonia could be substituted... Let me say one more thing, about the few times Julian played Mozart, You can listen to it, because it is a song that is matched with the mood of the characters, and you can experience their current state of mind.

Finally, this article pays tribute to my dear Tchaikovsky!
