Big Time 1958

Chapter 36: Busy Moving Bricks

The massive construction of   Khrushchev Building allowed almost all Soviet people to have their own houses. The large-scale construction of this kind of unbeautiful building made almost every family in the Soviet Union bid farewell to the housing problem of the past. According to the positioning of this kind of housing, it should be regarded as the originator of affordable housing.

There are a total of eight districts in East Berlin. After discussing with Markus Wolf, Serov decided to allocate the construction teams entering Berlin according to the size of the jurisdiction and the amount of work. Generally, it is allocated according to the standard of one country supporting one district, but these There are more or less foreign construction teams supporting the construction of Berlin, so it will be fine-tuned.

At the same time, the International Socialist Union Aid and Construction Committee was established to coordinate the reconstruction of Greater Berlin. A well-known Romanian architect was elected as the person in charge, responsible for the specific operation of the entire construction aid project.

“Today, with lofty revolutionary feelings, we meet in Greater Berlin, the capital of the GDR!” Serov, wearing a lieutenant general’s uniform, thanked these aid builders of different nationalities, “Personally, I am very lucky. Being able to join in this noble work, this time the brother countries can lend a helping hand to come to Berlin, reflecting the pure revolutionary friendship and the profound internationalist spirit, made me seem to see what my father said was when the Soviet Union was just established, and countless people cherished it. Thanks to the comrades in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Albania with the same ideal!

Every time    Serov thanked him, there was a burst of warm applause, “Long live the simple working people, long live the great proletariat, long live the socialist movement!” After Serov finished his speech, there was a flood of applause from the venue. He can guarantee that what he sees now is completely from the heart.

Shaking his head secretly, Serov stepped off the podium and vowed never to participate in such a lively scene again, “That’s not good, I’m always with noble people, and I’ll forget my responsibilities over time, which is not good!”

If Serov himself has forgotten the purpose, when this ardent conference today is mentioned decades later, people in later generations will only say that these people are fools and have no high salaries. Why should they leave their own country and come here? Aid? Must have been brainwashed by an evil government. Those people don’t even know what revolutionary friendship is, and they don’t understand the spirit of the world! When those mocking people look around, they will find that the only industrial base in their motherland, and the houses they live in, are the struggles of those brainwashed idiots. As for themselves, they have achieved nothing…

The day after he left the venue, Serov found Marcus Wolf again and took out a stack of drawings, which included the plan of the community and the interior design of the building, all of which were stuffed into Marcus Wolf. Wolff’s hand.

These drawings are not too secret. They are the planning drawings of ordinary Chinese communities in the 21st century, with an indoor area of 70 to 90 square meters. “Comrade Serov, is this the specification of your Soviet Union’s current house?” Ma Kuss Wolfe opened the drawing, looked at it twice and asked.

ah? no! Serov opened his mouth but still did not say anything. How can the present Soviet Union have the ability to let a family live in a house of 90 square meters. The average Khrushchev building is 50 to 70 square meters. The drawings that Serov took out. If According to the normal timeline development, it will appear in the Brezhnev era.

“Are you going to come up with a few districts first, so that the residents of Berlin can see this kind of house!” Serov also knew that it was built on a large scale according to this specification, and the GDR may not be able to afford it.

When he came up with drawings of this size, Serov naturally had good intentions. He didn’t come all the way to destroy it, at least not all of them. If the development of East Berlin stagnated, there would be no comparison with West Berlin. People will still find a way to go to West Berlin.

The whole city of Berlin, especially the aid construction team in East Berlin occupies the pages of the propaganda and newspapers of the GDR. People are discussing the improvement of their own housing problems enthusiastically. Everyone wants to have their own house, which is a basic need of a person. , For a while, the focus of private discussion changed from the Berlin crisis to the Berlin reconstruction plan. Compared with the tense situation, people are still willing to talk more about light topics.

On April Fool’s Day on April 1, the International Socialist Union Aid and Construction Committee announced that all buildings in East Berlin will be renovated, some houses with insufficient living conditions will be demolished, and the residents inside will be compensated by government departments New residences, Berlin’s main roads will be widened, and plans for the redevelopment of Greater Berlin begin.

Reconstruction teams carrying national flags entered the area they were responsible for, and began to adjust which local houses needed to be refurbished and which needed to be demolished to build new residences. The whole East Berlin seemed to wake up from a deep sleep and entered a state of excitement. “Such a scene of friendship and equality between people, and all people working together regardless of class, can only occur in a country like ours!” Serov said not far from here, there was a Hungarian electrician I’m asking the German workers next to me. Obviously, the circuit configuration here is not the same as in Hungary. This kind of scene where people from different countries work together to achieve the goal with the same purpose is all over East Berlin.

“We still need to send people to watch the circuit transformation, but don’t do it together. Focus on the transformation of one district and one district. After all the transformations are completed, the power grid in East Berlin will be cut off after the power grid in East Berlin becomes its own system!” Serov said lightly, “The underground water system also needs to be reopened, and finally block the underground water channel in West Berlin! Every time we complete a step of work, we must ensure that the same facilities in West Berlin are abolished!”

“I understand, the support of the First General Administration will arrive tomorrow!” Issemottny echoed, these people from different countries speak different languages, so Shelov urgently needs translators here to let It is obviously not suitable for college students to come here. Fortunately, the First General Administration does not lack such people.

“Director, the representatives of the three countries in West Berlin notified that the half-month negotiation deadline is up!” Lucani said hurriedly as soon as she got off the car.

“The deadline for half a month’s negotiation is up!” Shelov turned back and repeated it in a strange and cheap tone, and then snorted coldly, “The deadline is up? Did you give me an ultimatum? Tell them to get out of here. , I won’t talk about it if I don’t talk about it! Tell them that Serov is busy helping the construction team move bricks, and there is no time now!” Then he seriously instructed Isamotney, “Remind me tomorrow that I have to move to the construction site. brick!”
