Yang Ming's motorcade arrived at a hotel in downtown East Berlin.

Yang Ming and his party will stay here during this period.

When Yang Ming got off the car, he found that many of East Germany's handling methods were very similar to Su Lian's. With Yang Ming's arrival now, he felt that East Germany attached great importance to him.

Yang Ming checked into the hotel's luxurious suite. In the past few days, he was planning to stay here first.

At noon that day.

Yang Ming and others finished lunch at the hotel.

This is not a state banquet, but a normal work meal, and it looks pretty good.

In the afternoon, Erich sent someone to act as a tour guide for Yang Ming.

"Sir Yang, I wonder where you want to visit?"

"I want to see the Berlin Wall."

The Berlin Wall is world famous.

It is now and it will be in the future.

However, most of it will be demolished next year, leaving only a small part as a souvenir.

At this time, Yang Ming wanted to see the Berlin Wall and this piece of history.

The tour guide immediately made arrangements.

When Yang Ming and others left the hotel, they took a car and stopped at one of the places.

At first glance, you can see the famous Berlin Wall in history.

The Berlin Wall was built on August 1961, 8, with a total length of 13 kilometers. Initially a border fence made of barbed wire and masonry, it was later reinforced into a border defense facility consisting of watchtowers, concrete walls, open areas and anti-vehicle ditches.

The Berlin Wall is a symbol of the division of country D and an important landmark of the Cold War.

Before the construction of the Berlin Wall, approximately 250 million East German residents fled West Germany, many of whom passed through West Berlin to West Germany and other Western European countries.

Now, Yang Ming and others have just arrived here.

He saw the Berlin Wall.

In fact, the Berlin Wall is not very high, but it is very conspicuous at first glance. There are many barbed wires on the Berlin Wall.

At first glance, it felt like prison walls and barbed wire.

In fact, the Berlin Wall is not that simple.

There are literally sixteen layers of defense, plus a water border.

This was also after the construction of the Berlin Wall, during which only a few thousand people crossed from East Berlin to West Berlin.

However, before the Berlin Wall appeared, more than two million people ran away.

The tour guide next to him introduced Yang Ming in detail.

"Sir Young, that's West Berlin over there."

From low down, you might not be able to see West Berlin over there.

However, West Berlin is definitely much more prosperous than East Berlin.

Although the capital of West Germany is in another city, West Berlin is still a very important city in West Germany.

Yang Ming walked around the Berlin Wall. Apart from seeing border guards patrolling on both sides, not many people came here now.

However, Yang Ming knew that due to the influence of other Eastern European countries, chaos would soon arise in East Germany.

After seeing the Berlin Wall.

Yang Ming did not look elsewhere. However, when passing by a state-owned supermarket, Yang Ming found that although there was a shortage of some items in East Germany, there were still some items that should be available.

"Sir Yang, this is our money mark." said the tour guide next to him.

East German mark?

Yang Ming knew that the current exchange rate between the East German mark and the West German mark was about 6:1, which meant that the West German mark was far more valuable than the East German mark.

However, historically, in order to merge with East Germany, West Germany had to propose that the West German mark and the East German mark be exchanged at a 1:1 exchange rate.

This is equivalent to a large profit concession for West Germany.

Now, 1 U.S. dollar is about 1.9 West German marks, which means that the West German marks are indeed valuable.

Yang Ming was holding this East German mark. If he hadn't come here, he would have suddenly forgotten this.

Yang Ming bought some items in this state-owned supermarket, left here, and returned to the hotel.

That night.

19:00 pm East Berlin time.

With Erich in charge, East Germany held a grand state banquet to entertain Sir Yang and his party.

The East German state banquet still looks very rich, but the Germans eat differently from the Soviet people.

Among them, the most famous ones are Country D beer, Country D red sausage, Country D ham, etc.

In addition, there are also steaks, lamb chops, and pork chops.

Also, there is the red wine produced in East Germany.

In order to show his respect for the Imperial Group and Sir Yang, Erich held a grand state banquet that was not inferior to the previous masters who entertained Su Lian.

The grand state banquet lasted until 21:30 in the evening.

The state banquet is over.

Yang Ming and others left here.

Take the car back to the hotel.

Yang Ming just drank beer and wine, and now he doesn't take a shower so quickly.

Soviet Union had the KGB, and East Germany also had the Stasi.

According to incomplete statistics, 60 people served the Stasi during its existence, which is equivalent to the number of people who served the Gestapo during the Nazi period.

Between 1950 and 1989, the Stasi administered seventeen prisons, approximately officially employed agents, and officially informed collaborators in East Germany, known as "IM", there are another "IM" reporting partners in West Germany.

Therefore, the Stasi has a total of 286,000 cooperating agents, and the intelligence network is dense and effective.

This also looks very scary.

However, compared to the KGB in history, the Stasi is not as well-known.

Moreover, the current Stasi is not as good as the previous Stasi, otherwise Erich would have ended up like that.

Of course, in Yang Ming's view, the situation in East Germany was the general trend and it seemed that the outside world could not interfere.

As for the hotel in front of me, there must be a Stasi presence here.

Even though Yang Ming asked Chen Zhenhua and others to search for a lot of monitoring equipment.

Until late at night.

Yang Ming went to take a shower and then went to rest.

Early the next day.

Yang Ming just got up.

Put on a thick coat, wash up and go out for a walk outside the hotel.

In fact, Yang Ming found that East Germany was much freer than Sulian, but you could also feel that there might be people around you quietly watching you from behind.

Maybe some of the cleaning staff came from the Stasi, but these people looked no different from ordinary people.

When Yang Ming finished his walk.

While preparing to have breakfast at the hotel, Erich's secretary had already come over and invited Sir Yang to come over.

Yang Ming just took Lin Xiuzhi with him and took a special car to Erich's office.

It turned out that Erich and others were having breakfast here.

After Yang Ming, Erich and others finished breakfast, they began to talk formally for the first time.

"Sir Yang, I hope the Imperial Group can invest like it did in Sulian."

All aspects of East Germany were influenced by Soviet Union. Now Soviet Union has become chaotic under Gore's changes. Now East Germany is also preparing to learn from that.

However, Yang Ming has no plans to invest in East Germany now. What he is doing now is to prepare for the merger of East and West Germany.

One of them is about the East German Mark.

The East German Mark is also very valuable now, but after the merger of East and West Germany, the East German Mark is even more valuable.

For Yang Ming, this is also a place where he can make a lot of profits.

In addition, after the merger of East and West Germany, many companies in East Germany may be acquired by West Germany, or even European and American capital.

So this is also a very big investment opportunity for Yang Ming and Imperial Group.
