Chapter 694

Since Hungary and Austria agreed to open their borders, some smuggling organizations active in East Germany have found an absolutely safe way to smuggle, that is, to get Hungary, Austria and other countries to flee to West Germany. Since then, the people of East Germany have started large-scale fleeing operations. Many families even disappeared overnight. In Berlin, a large number of houses were vacant and became ownerless. A lot of young men and women live in it, and turn it into their love nest.

The world is changing so fast that it is too late for the unified socialist party of Germany to adapt. It took only a few weeks for Erich onnak, who has been the first Secretary of the unified socialist party of Germany for a long time, to go from a wise leader to a public enemy of the people. Because after the mass exodus of the population, comrade onak adopted the policies of restricting going abroad and controlling the news, but these two policies made the people who were on the verge of the outbreak quit completely. They went to the streets one after another and asked to relax the restrictions on travel abroad and the news media. The East German people's affluence in the socialist camp is second to none. Their resistance to the government is not because of material dissatisfaction. In the final analysis, it lies in the constant separation of kinship between the two countries. Almost every family has relatives who live opposite the Berlin Wall, and the act of sneaking across to the other side when they were faced with life-threatening is now suddenly opened by Hungary, and they have to face a hundred times of pressure to seal the opening.

The opposition does not just come from the people. Within the unified socialist party of Germany, there are many cadres who are dissatisfied with the long-term position of first Secretary of the party. In particular, he ordered the abolition of the visa free policy with neighboring Czechoslovakia and the prohibition of West Germans from entering East Germany. These two policies are the fuse of mass protest. As the ruling party, the unified socialist party of Germany must have someone to stand up and take responsibility to calm the anger of the people. On this issue, comrade onak must not stay out of it.

In a critical situation, comrade onak held an emergency meeting of the Political Bureau to discuss countermeasures. It's a pity that he has lost his old prestige. Even within the Politburo, there are many members who denounce him, especially general Erich milk from the military. In front of all the members of the Politburo, he denounced the numerous crimes of onak, claiming that if he did not resign, he would be discredited.

It is precisely because of the loss of the support of the army that he can only call himself ill and announce his resignation. His successor, Egon Krenz, is just a puppet of the opposition led by Erich milk. Fortunately, after a lifetime of hard work, comrade onak said goodbye to his job and returned home to enjoy his life.

However, according to the public opinion, Egon Krenz made some changes. He first announced that he pardoned the citizens of East Germany who fled to West Germany, as well as those who took part in the demonstrations. And try to accept the demands of the people and formally contact the West German government. Seeing the olive branch thrown by East Germany, the West German government was very excited. They have seen the weakening of the Soviet Union's control over the Eastern European countries from a series of changes in the Eastern European countries. If the Soviet Union does not interfere too much in East Germany's internal affairs, can West Germany further improve its relations with East Germany? This idea is very attractive.

It happened so fast that he had to prepare ahead of time to cope with a bigger wave of troop withdrawal. General secretary Gorbachev is now busy meeting with US President Bush in Malta at the end of the year. Gorbachev was eager to improve relations with the United States and hoped that improving trade with the United States would help the Soviet Union out of its economic predicament. The trade treatment of Poland and Hungary now makes Gorbachev salivate. Shariosha believes that Gorbachev has been dazzled by American sugar coated bullets.

Xie liaosha is very dissatisfied with Walesa's move to demolish the bridge. He decides to give Walesa some color to let him know who is the boss. Therefore, after signing a 10-year natural gas supply contract with Enron, seryosa informed Poland's Ministry of foreign trade and economic cooperation that the price of natural gas and oil delivered to Poland from next month will rise to the same level as that of West Germany. Because Poland is no longer an ally of the Soviet Union, it can no longer enjoy the preferential treatment of the socialist family.

After the order was issued, Poland protested and denounced the great power chauvinism of the Soviet Union and the unforgivable crimes committed against Poland during World War II. He cut off the gas and oil pipelines to Poland. They even detained all the trains to Poland. At seryosa's request, the Gorky brotherhood also stopped grain trade with Poland. Seryosa wanted to let Walesa have a good taste of the bitter fruit he planted.

At present, the supply of natural gas from seryosa's natural gas terminal in Poland has begun. The closure of natural gas supply to Poland will not affect the trade with other Western European countries. Because natural gas can be transported to Europe by sea or through the gas pipeline in Ukraine, there is no place in Poland that can threaten the Soviet Union.

Poland is very dismissive of seryosa's trade embargo, because they are now backed by the United States. Walesa even publicly claimed that cutting trade ties with the Soviet Union was a farewell to Poland's miserable history. Xie liaosha didn't respond. He is still organizing domestic enterprises to step up production of more prefabricated houses to accommodate those returning troops from Eastern Europe.

Xie liaosha has learned from the Ministry of defense that if all the Soviet Red Army troops stationed in Eastern European countries were withdrawn to China, it is estimated that there would be millions more unemployed people at once. These people's housing and work problems are now pressing on Xie liaosha's shoulders, heavy and breathless. How to create more than one million jobs at a time? Now the Leningrad special economic zone has reached the limit of accommodation. It is impossible to resettle millions of Eastern European troops in a few months.

Xie liaosha thought about it from left to right, and felt that there was no other way except to continue to develop the heavy industry that the Soviet Union was good at. Xie liaosha knew that the Soviet Union lacked light industry and needed to import agricultural products from abroad on a large scale. However, the low efficiency of agriculture in the Soviet Union is not a problem that can be solved in a short time. On the contrary, it is a good way to resettle a large number of unemployed people by vigorously developing private scale industries. Think about Foxconn in the future. Almost one factory can accommodate more than 100000 employees. But Foxconn's manufacturing industry is not suitable for the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is more suitable for metallurgy, oil and other resource industries.

After adjusting his thinking, Xie liaosha was determined to follow Stalin's industrial construction and build several new industrial bases in areas with abundant resources in China.
