Chapter 676

A few months ago, the political situation in Hungary, at the forefront of the iron curtain, was subject to surprising changes. Kadar, who has been Hungary's leader for many years, was defeated by the general secretary of the Hungarian Socialist Workers' party. Since then, the reformers within the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party have taken the leadership of the party. Some subsequent policies have made Hungary abandon the political path that has been followed for many years, Start to move in a different direction.

Kadar's defeat did not attract the interference of the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact organizations, which made the newly elected Hungarian leaders open up their courage. After Khrushchev launched the October incident of armed interference in Hungary's internal affairs in 1956, about 200000 Hungarians fled to neighboring Austria. For many years, the refugee problem has been an unavoidable problem for Austria and Hungary. Shortly after Kadar stepped down, Austria and Hungary negotiated separately on the border issue without the permission of the Soviet Union. In order to solve the problem of insufficient supply of domestic goods and refugees, the Hungarian government made a decision to open the border between the two countries, and allowed Hungarians who left Hungary in 1956 to return to their own countries, At the same time, they will no longer be held responsible. So far, the iron curtain, which has been tightly sealed since the end of World War II, has torn a gap in Hungary.

The opening of the border has brought European and American goods into the Hungarian market, and at the same time has also brought some influence on the whole socialist camp. His early partner, East German William pike, was originally a smuggler. Now he has found a more profitable industry, namely smuggling. In the past, if East Germans wanted to escape from West Germany, they had to try every means to cross the heavily guarded Berlin Wall. But Wilhelm pike found a new and safer route, that is, from East Germany, through Czechoslovakia or Poland to Hungary, the socialist camp country, and then from the border between Hungary and Austria, to Austria, and finally north to West Germany.

This route is too safe. The living standard of the East German people is second to none in the real socialist camp. They can afford to travel to the brother countries of China pact camp. Anyway, as long as you get to Hungary, you can enter Austria smoothly, and then you can live a good life in West Germany, where you can't even risk your life. For William peak, it's a steady business.

So William peck closed his chain drugstore and began to run the business of travel agency. After organizing several successful smuggling operations, William peck gradually gained a firm foothold in this business. As a pioneer in the market, William peck did seize the opportunity, but soon many followers joined the industry. It can be said that in early 1989, the most popular business of gangs in East Germany was smuggling.

This small gap in the iron curtain began to lead to a massive loss of population in East Germany. This phenomenon soon attracted the attention of the East German government. However, the East German government could not prevent its citizens from traveling to socialist countries, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction from its brother countries. As a result, he put the blame on the separate negotiation between the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party and Austria. He personally called Gorbachev and called on the Soviet Union to give a good warning and deal with the problem of bourgeois liberalization within the Hungarian Socialist Workers' party.

Aung Naik and Brezhnev are old friends for many years, and their influence in the Warsaw Pact camp is very important. Naturally, Gorbachev did not dare to neglect his request, but now the domestic issue of Georgia is still burning. Gorbachev is really powerless about the Hungarian Socialist Workers' party. So he asked Shevardnadze for his opinion on the matter. As soon as he opened his mouth, Shevardnadze resolutely refused his request.

"General secretary, our present Leningrad special economic zone mainly relies on the help of the West. Among them, West Germany is one of our major investment countries. If we offend the West German government on the issue of the border between Austria and Hungary, our Leningrad special economic zone is also likely to be affected." Shevardnadze explained to Gorbachev.

"Then how should we reply to Comrade onak?" Gorbachev asked uneasily.

"I will personally consult Mr. gross, the new leader of the Hungarian Socialist Workers' party, on this issue. Anyway, we have been involved in it, but it is a matter decided by the Hungarian Socialist Workers' party. It is inconvenient for us to interfere too much! I will also explain this to Comrade onak! " Shevardnadze replied.

At this moment, the leadership of the Soviet Union has not yet realized what kind of changes this small gap in the iron curtain will bring to the whole Warsaw Pact camp. Even the soul traverser, seryosha, has not realized the danger.

As a matter of fact, he is also paying close attention to the crisis of drastic changes in Eastern Europe. However, seryosa's attention should be focused on Poland. He has placed many Gorky brotherhood cronies in solidarity. I've been watching every move of Lech Walesa all the time. According to the current situation, although Poland has a crisis of change, Lech Walesa's ability is limited. Although he is famous, he does not have the ability to break away from the socialist camp.

Therefore, after the Solidarity Union led by Walesa reconciled with the Polish government, the wave authorities decided to let the Solidarity Union participate in the domestic political life in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the domestic people. Soon after Walesa was elected as the people's representative, the United Workers Party of Poland began to implement a policy called "round table" under the call of Jaruzelski. Although he was the leader of the United workers' Party of Poland for many years in yaruzelski, he was always afraid that the Soviet Union would interfere in Poland's internal affairs because of the problem of Solidarity trade union, which once again caused a painful lesson similar to that of Poznan time. Therefore, yaruzelski was eager to solve the problem of Solidarity trade union in Poland.

As the leader of a satellite country, yaruzelski is always carefully defending Poland's interests. So on the issue of solidarity, yaruzelski is more urgent than Walesa. Without stability and unity, Poland will not be able to settle down to develop its economy. In addition, Poland's economy is always at the bottom of the socialist camp, and its foundation is low. Since the Poznan incident in 1956, Poland's production has been stagnated from time to time due to numerous strikes. Yaruzelski felt that it was better to break this vicious circle than to continue this vicious circle. In addition, yaruzelski also hopes that the reform of the unified workers' Party of Poland can win more popular support, so that the unified workers' Party of Poland can not only solve the big trouble of Solidarity Union, but also continue to lead Poland forward with a new attitude.
