Big Time 1958

Like the current residents of West Berlin, who are disturbed by loudspeakers during the day and strafed by high-power searchlights at night, plus some remarks that were originally spread by the lurking Stasi agents in the city, it is easy to make these closed West Berlin residents feel changed. I was very anxious. This kind of closed and peeped environment has always been uncomfortable, and I can only get used to it with the passage of time.

   Of course, this was not analyzed by Serov. It must be attributed to a group of Soviet experts such as Yagota who had studied the psychological changes of prisoners in Kazan Prison. For the Berlin Wall that suddenly appeared in Greater Berlin, the residents of West Berlin could not adapt to it in a short time. If they want to do something, it must be now, otherwise the residents of West Berlin will get used to the existence of the Berlin Wall after a long time.

The news that the    GDR was going to cut off the Spree and Havel rivers had the effect of igniting the powder keg. Coupled with the activities of the Stasi agents, it finally started yesterday, and a gathering of personnel appeared in West Berlin to ask the GDR to explain the latest news. Once the crowd gathers, the opportunity becomes very uncontrollable, which is not good news for the inexperienced West Berlin in this regard. Once the excited crowd gathers in a large scale, a little thing, a speech or a sentence can make the whole thing change. Can't handle it.

   Now this result has been presented in front of the GDR separated by a wall, eh? At least in front of Shelov's eyes. Smoke billowed from the entire city of West Berlin, and the West Berlin residents who looked like people were confronting the military and police of the three countries. From the perspective of the scene, the occupying forces of the Three Kingdoms have not used strong means, which is not good news. However, it should only be temporary, maybe the occupying forces of the three countries are communicating.

  The residents of West Berlin who poured from various streets to the opposite side of the Berlin Wall are already densely packed, and the crowd is expanding every second. Behind them, the urban area of ​​West Berlin is billowing with smoke, and there are bursts of gunfire.

   "It would be nice if I could hear what those people said, there is always a lack of an immersive feeling!" After observing for a while, Serov, who put down the military telescope, said wistfully.

   "Huh?" Marcus Wolf tilted his head and glanced at Serov, then nodded to a Stasi agent in the room, and then the room was filled with a lot of noise, and the level of confusion was indistinguishable.

   "Stop, I understand, enough!" Serov shook his head and waved his hand. On the spot, he understood an idiom, what is the twilight drum and the morning bell. Is it because the Stasi's equipment is too good, or the situation at the Berlin Wall is really so chaotic.

  If a wall is used as the dividing line, there are two completely different scenes in East and West Berlin. The GDR is creating a happy scene, because today is International Children's Day on June 1. As a member of the socialist camp, the GDR attaches great importance to this Children's Day, and because the Berlin Wall has just been built , the GDR side needs to appease the anxious atmosphere of the people, and prepared many gifts such as balloon candy.

And because there are workers from many countries in the reconstruction project of East Berlin, the families and children of these workers were invited to Berlin in advance to create a scene of harmony between brothers and countries. The smoke billowing over the city of Greater Berlin, people know from the wind that the smoke is coming from West Berlin.

  In the urban area of ​​West Berlin, the gathered people have forgotten their original purpose. From the first act of vandalism, similar acts spread to all the gathered people like an infectious disease. Even the occupying forces of the Three Kingdoms didn't have time to think about how this rally, which was supposed to put pressure on the GDR in West Berlin, turned into a riot in an instant?

"Humans have a mentality of not blaming the public, and once there are enough people, this feeling will arise. The plan proposed by the most authoritative psychologist and social problem researcher in the Soviet Union is not bad! We must seize this feeling and let us The gathered people temporarily forget the consequences..." Sheloff patted Marcus Wolff's shoulder and smiled while standing by the window. In fact, Serov's smile looked quite strange, and it didn't match his eyes at this time. A look at the enemy.

"Huh, huh? Tank?" Marcus Wolf questioned, put down the telescope and picked it up again, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, a group of people who kept throwing stones at the American and British military and police were facing away Close to West Berlin, and across from them was something familiar to Marcus Wolfe, a Sherman tank in the barracks of the Three Kingdoms occupation army. At present, it is rare on the European continent. Only the occupying army of West Berlin, which is positioned as cannon fodder, uses this kind of antique.

The line of sight here is very good, and Serov immediately discovered the dispatch of the tanks. He could see the American and British soldiers dispatched, but when he looked closely, he did not find the French soldiers stationed in West Berlin. But one thing, today's West Berlin must not be There will be fewer deaths.

"There are three options in front of you now!" Shelov said very seriously, "First, open the border crossing to allow residents of West Berlin to enter East Berlin, but this is very risky, and no one knows if there are any enemy inside. If intelligence personnel come in to sabotage, it will also make our actions to remove dissidents to be useless! Second, do nothing and do nothing, and let the US and British military and police take strong actions to restore order.”

"What about the third? You just said two..." Marcus Wolf tilted his head and looked at his Soviet counterpart. Serov's first two suggestions were the same as never. The first one was too risky, the second one was too risky. The point is that there is no suggestion, and so far East Berlin is very much in line with Serov's description.

"Third, let the internal affairs troops staring at the watchtower open fire to prevent the British and American police from arresting the residents of West Berlin who have gathered on the Berlin Wall!" Serov said while thinking, "The people who have gathered under the Berlin Wall have created a kind of protector's Image, but it's actually useless, after the people dispersed, the US and British military and police can catch people in places where the internal affairs forces can't see..."

   At this time, the people gathered under the Berlin Wall also knew that the American and British military and police were coming in a steady stream behind them. In fact, for these people, they did not know what happened.

   "If it's too late, it's too late!" Shelov reminded me neither light nor heavy.

Marcus Wolf slowly put down the binoculars, picked up the phone on the table and ordered, "Berlin Wall garrison, stop the American and British military and police from chasing West Berlin residents, and warn the American and British military and police who are close to the Berlin Wall. It can shock Xingxing and open fire to the sky!"

The residents of West Berlin, who were still in a daze under the Berlin Wall, finally got the first response today. The soldiers of the Internal Affairs Forces standing on the watchtower shouted in German with a loudspeaker, "Warning the military and police of the three countries, not to approach Berlin. wall. Otherwise the GDR has the right to fire..."
