Chapter 704: Ambition
The year 1982 has arrived, and the pattern of the whole world has become more obvious.
The humid Atlantic air blows across the British Isles and the plains of Western Europe. The climate is not cold, but people's hearts are like glass, which will break at the slightest touch.
In Western Europe, the place of the most intense confrontation is probably the Berlin Wall.
At the end of World War II, the East and the West officially met in Berlin. The joy of victory had not yet faded when the Cold War confrontation began. Berlin was divided into four parts and garrisoned by four countries. Afterwards, Berlin in the east became the capital of Democratic Germany, and Berlin in the west became the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany. Germany was divided into two halves.

After the Cold War began, for various reasons, people in East Berlin wanted to escape to the Western world. The flight of various technicians had a great impact on the economy of East Berlin. Therefore, under the instruction of the Soviet Union, the German Democratic Republic began to build a 155-kilometer-long wall. Initially, it was a border fence made of barbed wire and bricks. Later, it was reinforced into a border defense facility consisting of watchtowers, concrete walls, open areas and anti-vehicle trenches. The Berlin Wall is a symbol of the division of Germany and an important landmark of the Cold War.
The official name of this wall is the Anti-Fascist Defense Wall. It is a border defense system built by the German Democratic Republic on its own territory around the border of West Berlin. The purpose is to prevent the free movement of people between the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany. In fact, it is to prevent the people of East Germany from fleeing to West Germany. Now, the order to shoot has been issued, and anyone who crosses the Berlin Wall will be shot directly.
However, in recent times, the people of East Germany have no interest in climbing over the Berlin Wall. What good is there on the other side of the wall? I heard that prices have doubled! All this is caused by high oil prices. The rise in oil prices has led to an increase in the raw materials and costs of downstream industries based on the oil industry, and an increase in transportation costs. As a result, all kinds of daily necessities have also begun to rise sharply.
At the same time, East Germany could continue to obtain low-priced crude oil with the help of the Soviet Union, so prices in the entire country remained at normal levels.

At this time, people on the other side of the Berlin Wall began to envy this side. Under the planned economy, all daily necessities were supplied according to plan, and the prices were determined and would not rise at all.
At the same time, the rise in prices in Western Europe is not only due to oil. Another reason is the large number of Middle Eastern refugees in Western Europe.

Wars will always create a large number of refugees. During the Iran War, many Iranian refugees poured into Western Europe, posing a huge threat to social security in Western Europe. In order to show Western Europe's inclusiveness, Western Europe had to accept these refugees persecuted by the Soviet Union.
Later, as the war in the Middle East intensified, more and more refugees from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey entered Western Europe. Their arrival naturally required the consumption of more daily necessities, and the supply and demand relationship determined the price, which is the basic law of the free world.

This is the arrangement of the United States. In fact, the United States is still thinking about returning to the Middle East one day. These refugees stranded in the Western world will be the key to opening the door to the Middle East at that time. Unfortunately, things did not go as the United States imagined.
Several large screens appeared on the high watchtowers of the Berlin Wall.
A homeless man stood on the west side of the Berlin Wall, looking at the screen. Every day, these screens would broadcast some images to promote the various benefits of East Germany, such as stable prices and affluent life.

But today, when the homeless man was sitting here watching the show with a piece of bread picked up from the trash can, he saw that what appeared on the big screen was not scenes of his previous life, but a movie!
It's been a long time since I watched a movie! The homeless man looked at the TV screen and thought about his past life, feeling extremely disappointed.
The movie has already started.
On the screen, there was a blue sky with white clouds floating in it. Among the white clouds, there were a few bright spots that were approaching rapidly. The tramp's heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and he certainly knew what that was.

These fighter planes flew by gracefully, leaving four trails of white smoke behind them. The white smoke gradually deformed and turned into several Russian letters on the screen, and at the same time, they were also equipped with German and English translations.
Top Gun. Produced by Mosfilm.
"Redwood Formation, Redwood Formation, attention, suspicious target spotted ahead, suspicious target spotted ahead."
The Russian is very rapid, but unfortunately I can only watch the subtitles. Fortunately, the homeless man has the eyesight of a pilot and can clearly see the translated English on the big screen. This movie should have a climax at the beginning, with the confrontation and interception of fighter jets!

The scene switched to the pilot's cockpit, where a bright line was seen rotating on a circular screen on the dark green dashboard. Then, four bright spots appeared inside!
"023 spotted four suspicious targets, one hundred away, ready to intercept."
The pilot flipped the switches skillfully, a red light flashed on the screen, and then a beeping sound was heard.

"The target has been assigned. Immediately lock on to the target and prepare to launch the missile."
Assigning targets? The homeless man was stunned. Could it be that the Soviet aircraft technology was advancing rapidly? Their fighters could already assign targets to friendly aircraft? It must be data link! In this case, medium-range air combat would have a greater advantage. Other fighters would not need to turn on their radars, and our own radar would be enough.
"Fire!" With a shout, as the pilot's thumb pressed the button, the scene switched to outside, where flames flashed under the wing and a missile flew out.

The fast camera followed the flight of the missile, only to see the missile dragging a trail of white smoke as it flew into the distance. Then, four other fighter planes appeared in the air.
F-15! The Soviets really invested a lot in making this movie. They even got the F-15 fighter jets from the island countries! It was really difficult for them to keep these fighter jets running normally when there was a lack of parts!
"Boom!" With a huge explosion accompanied by a fireball, the F-15 exploded in mid-air!

This was of course not real, it was a composite image in a studio, but even so, the homeless man broke out in a cold sweat. He looked away, and he didn't know when, more people had gathered around him, all staring at the screen opposite.
The sunlight was a little dazzling, and the homeless man squinted his eyes and continued to watch.
