Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle.

Chapter 121 "Jinggangshan" Bus to Moscow

"Sukabuli, it's so cold, are you going to let us freeze here just because we are going to pick up a car sent by our little brother Davari from the south?"

On New Year's Day, a train slowly pulled into Moscow Station, and people who had been waiting impatiently on the platform began to complain.

In their eyes, the Davari family in the south needed their support for everything except silk and porcelain. Now they were giving Comrade Khrushchev a car of their own production just for the sake of face. Was it necessary to make such a big fuss?

Could it be that their automobile industry is comparable to that of the great Slavs, and that they make better cars than us?
At this time, in addition to these guards, there were also our diplomats stationed on Big Brother's side and some department leaders of Big Brother at the train station.

When the train stopped, the huge wooden box on one of the train cars attracted everyone's attention.

The guards immediately blocked the entire train, and under the command of the technicians who came with the train, the large wooden box was slowly lifted down.

"Comrade Minister, this is our New Year's gift to Comrade Khrushchev. I believe you will not be disappointed."

In order to prepare this gift, all the staff of the Second Automobile Works worked overtime day and night for more than a month, and finally finished the gift before the New Year.

The box contained nothing but a Jinggangshan sedan.

Different from the state gift car prepared for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this car was designed with safety in mind. Not only is the body of the car bulletproof, but the interior is also handcrafted by masters.

When the staff carefully opened the box, a black car that looked very impressive came into people's sight.

In the shining winter sunshine, the car body reflects a faint light, and coupled with the smooth body design, it looks particularly charming and atmospheric.

"Click!" As the reporters who came over pressed the shutter, the older brothers finally reacted and exclaimed in amazement at the car that came from afar.

"Mr. Davari, this car is so charming. I'm sure Comrade Khrushchev will like it."

The Big Brother leader stared at the car and spoke enviously to our diplomats around him.

"Of course, this car is a testimony to our friendship, and also a token of our gratitude for Big Brother's selfless help."

"We have used the latest engine and transmission technologies in this car. The body and wheels are bulletproof, and the interior is all handcrafted by our masters. This is our sincere work."

The diplomat saw Big Brother's look and said with a smile.

Looking at the solemn and luxurious decoration inside and feeling the warm breeze from the car heater, I couldn't help but think: "Should I also own a car like this?"

Of course, on Big Brother’s side, this car is not called “Jinggangshan”. After all, it is an unpleasant memory for both of us.

The logo of this car has been changed to a hammer and sickle flag fluttering in the wind, and the name has also been changed to "Red Flag".

Well, our policy is still very flexible. Not only have we changed the logos and names of the cars sent to our big brother, but we have also changed the names and logos of the cars planned for export.

It's about making money, not shameful!
The next day, all the major newspapers of Big Brother published the news, with the glaring headlines clearly challenging the West.

"The superiority of the system! How did a backward agricultural country quickly grow into an industrial country?"

Combined with the atmospheric photos of the car and its performance, it is full of the colors of Cold War news.

Even the Western world, after seeing the report of Big Brother, is full of curiosity and expectation about this car. Although the name and logo do not quite conform to their values, who can refuse such a grand and high-performance car?

After all, even the government cannot interfere with their freedom, right?
With Big Brother helping with publicity, the storm caused by this car soon blew over to our side.

"Let's talk about how we should deal with these applications."

The Ministry of Foreign Trade has received many applications for the introduction of this car during this period, not only from the same camp, but even some John Bull merchants have applied to us for the agency rights of this car in their private capacity.

Of course, there are also businessmen from Hong Kong who have a good relationship with us, including the Lou family who has already gone to Hong Kong.

The Lou family has been doing very well in Hong Kong lately by being an agent for electric vehicles.

After all, Lou Shouxing is not Lou Sichang. Those people dared to bully Lou Sichang because of his young age, but when facing Lou Shouxing, they always had to be cautious.

After all, a group of people who had been taken care of by Lou Shouxing in the past followed the principal to retreat to the island.

Lou Sichang was unable to make use of these relationships, but the same could not be said for Lou Shouxing.

Now, after seeing the report about "Jinggangshan" car in the newspaper, he immediately realized the business opportunity and immediately sent us an agency application.

"Leader, after communicating with the First Ministry of Machine Building, they plan to build a car factory in Guangdong Province next year, and the cars will also be rebranded to cope with trade in the south."

"In this way, the production of automobiles will be greatly increased, and their requirements can be fully met at the same time."

"We can give the Southeast Asian market to Hong Kong, and the other markets that we cannot influence will have to be handed over to John Bull's merchants."

"As for the side in the same camp, we can follow the normal process. After Second Automobile expands its production line next year, it will be able to meet the needs here."

As soon as the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade finished speaking, someone answered.

"That's good. Since the First Ministry of Machine Building has arranged everything, our next work will be easy. But we can't relax. We must do a good job of communicating with these agents and must not fall behind."

"Yes!"

After entering 56, while absorbing the technology of Big Brother, we also began to slowly digest our own construction achievements.

At the beginning of the year, we established various factories in places in the South where the influence of Big Brother was relatively small.

From special metal smelting to machine tool equipment production, from high-horsepower diesel engines to the development of aircraft engines.

In short, all the technology we learned from Hans was quietly implemented in the south.

After all, these transactions were ultimately made behind Big Brother's back. If they were carried out with great fanfare right under his nose, it would affect the relationship between the two parties.

Some of these devices mysteriously disappeared after they were produced.
