The spiral structure of the Galactic disk results in a strong nonuniformity of the Galactic Wind flow and in spiral shock formation at distances of 50 to 100 kp c. It is shown that the collective reacceleration of the cosmic ray particles with charge Z e in the resulting shock ensemble explains the observable cosmic ray spectrum beyond the "knee" up to energies of the order of 1017 Z eV.
