The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

If the personnel problem could be quickly solved by spending money on training, then the U.S. Navy would not have stipulated that the Luoshui pilot must be salvaged at all costs, and even offered an ice cream equal to the pilot's weight as a reward. It can be said that they tried every possible means.

How does the saying go? The navy is the only branch of the military that can lose an entire war in a single afternoon.

Japan is now extremely strong (against European and American special forces).

Such a huge advantage inevitably led Japan to have more impulsive ideas. At the new Imperial Conference, some Japanese politicians proposed to take over Australia and turn it into Japan's new homeland.

When these words were spoken, all the Japanese senior officials present were not surprised.

Apparently everyone thinks so. This broken island is short of resources, has earthquakes every day, and you never know when Mount Fuji will submerge the capital. It’s really unbearable to stay here for a day!

When Japan still occupied the three northeastern provinces, they had a plan to move the capital. Their goal was to completely turn the Northeast into the new Japanese mainland, allowing Japan to truly become a continental country with rich and safe land under the sun.

Northeast China is no longer possible at the moment, but weak Australia is very suitable.

That geographical location is simply tailor-made for Japan. How can those weak white people occupy such a vast territory? Australia is the chosen land for Japan!

Another important reason why Japan thought so was that they had a serious psychological trauma after being beaten by the Volunteer Army. They really did not want to be neighbors with the Volunteer Army on land. The land they conquered in Asia would most likely be used to serve as a wedding dress for the Volunteer Army in the future.

Thinking of this, Japan felt that Australia was more and more beautiful.

Chapter 169: Backed by Xinhua, the Soviet Union heads west

(Fourth update! Over 10,000 words, please vote~)

While the whole world was watching Japan and Germany, a negotiation about Finland came to an end in Zealand.

The negotiations in Xijing were specifically requested by the Finnish side, and the Volunteer Army also expressed support.

The Soviet side hoped that the negotiations would take place in Moscow, but both Xinhua and the Volunteer Army voted against it.

Faced with two sticks thicker than himself, Comrade Gangtie decisively chose to give in.

As an excellent politician, this is an essential skill. The current situation is that the Soviet Union cannot afford to provoke the Volunteer Army, let alone the nightmare combination of Xinhua + Volunteer Army.

The starting difficulty is called "Great Wall Watch", is this game playable! ?

The last similar negotiation took place last time. Xijing was destined to become a political stain on Comrade Gangtie and a sad place for the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union never gained any advantage in any negotiation held here.

For polar bears, not taking advantage means suffering a loss.

Although knowing that they could gain basically no benefits, the Soviet side still resorted to unreasonable tactics to the extreme.

But the volunteer army was not afraid at all. The leaders of the Fifth and Sixth Columns of the International Volunteer Army chatted directly at the negotiation site. They didn't care how the Soviet Union argued. Anyway, we will not accept it if we are not satisfied. In terms of time cost, you Soviet Union can't drag it out any longer.

As the situation developed, Molotov almost said openly, "Give us some negotiating terms that we can accept, even if it's just for the sake of face."

It can be seen that the Russians are really anxious, because the German tanks are obviously not satisfied and are still continuing to conquer the east and the west.

Just as Japan received help from Amalgam, Germany also received help from the Mithril Corporation. The Umbrella Corporation previously established by the players has begun to infiltrate Latin America, still under the banner of the United States, and is preparing to record all local American strength and then uproot it.

Mithril Company mainly provides Germany with massive amounts of oil, plus various radar jamming technologies, and even directly sells four-engine heavy bombers to Germany, and they are all British technology.

That’s right, I’m here just to disgust you.

Germany's combat capability is now far superior to that of the same period in history, but its navy is still a weakness. However, Mithril Company accepts production and manufacturing contracts, and as long as Germany can afford the money, it is not impossible to help build battleships.

The main bodies of these warships were directly dropped into Dalian, Rizhao, Tianjin and Shanghai for Xinhua workers to practice.

It doesn't matter if something goes wrong, because the Germans will be the ones paying the bill in the end. Battleships are a buyer's market in the international market. Do you understand the value of monopoly?

Germany was about to complete its integration of the whole of Europe, but its own doorstep was still a mess. However, whether the Soviet Union was willing or not, the war with Finland had to end and then prepare to meet the impact of German tanks.

Germany will definitely attack the Soviet Union, it is just a matter of time.

Finland only needs to sit on the fence, but the Soviet Union, as a major power, has to consider a lot.

The Soviet-Finnish peace negotiations in Xijing were conducted under such circumstances. It was definitely not the Volunteer Army and Xinhua who were anxious, and even Finland was not anxious. The only one who was really anxious was the Soviet Union.

As long as the Volunteer Army shows an attitude of pulling you, the Soviet Union must give in, unless they plan to face the German tanks in the future while facing the Volunteer Army with unclear positions, or attack from both the east and the west.

After Molotov contacted Comrade Steel for the last time, the negotiations ended.

With the help of the volunteer army, Finland defended its country's territorial sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Soviet Union did not make any territorial claims against Finland. On the day the negotiations ended, the Soviet army began to withdraw from this sad land.

However, Zhukov was not so depressed. This is what he said when he met Comrade Steel.

"The Volunteer Army is an army that cannot be understood by common sense, but our soldiers have also been tempered in battle. Actual combat results have proven that even without the involvement of the Volunteer Army, our army has become one of the best armies in the world."

There is really nothing wrong with this statement. Japan, which also enjoyed this kind of training treatment, was now invincible in the Pacific battlefield. In history, they also showed such an invincible posture after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Now the strengthened Japanese army was facing a colonial army that was no different from the same period in history. The battle was directly crushing, and it often happened that a Japanese squadron dared to charge at an opposite division.

It is true that the colonial armies were very weak, but shouldn’t the local British and French armies also reflect on themselves? They have been enjoying themselves too much in the colonies and have become completely incapable of fighting, right?

"Thank you for the help of the volunteers. Finland will never forget this kindness!"

Finnish President Rüti shook the hands of the volunteer army representatives and was moved to tears.

They knew very well that if it were not for the help of the Volunteer Army, Finland would have been destroyed within a month of the war. It was precisely because of the Volunteer Army that Finland won the war, but the Soviet Union was a neighbor that Finland could not move away. If Finland wanted to get security guarantees in the future, it had to establish good relations with the Volunteer Army and Xinhua.

Now the whole world knows that there are a lot of Asian faces in the international volunteer army (the ratio of NPC officers and soldiers is 80% Asian, and the others are randomly distributed). Now only Xinhua has established a complete cooperative relationship with the volunteer army. It is obvious that the volunteer army must have recruited soldiers from Xinhua. These people are naturally close to Xinhua, so Finland also needs friendship with Xinhua, the deeper the better.

So after the negotiations with the Soviet Union ended, the Finnish delegation did not leave at all, but continued to stay in Xinhua, preparing to cooperate with Xinhua in other areas, such as economic and trade.

Doesn’t Xinhua have the Belt and Road Initiative? Finland is willing to join!

However, it was not just Finland that stayed. The Soviet delegation also stayed and they also wanted to fully cooperate with Xinhua.

It is true that Comrade Gangtie initially looked down on the impoverished and weak old China, but the emergence of Xinhua made him understand a fact: if the Soviet Union wanted to move westward, it must ensure sufficient stability in the east, and the Soviet Union also needed Xinhua's friendship.

The establishment of the new Soviet Union, the loss of Asian land, the disgraceful Soviet-Finnish War, and a series of failures have accumulated a lot of resentment in the Soviet Union. Even though the Soviet Union claims that "nationalism is an extreme ideology", it must seriously face the rise of nationalist ideas in the country.

Many people don't care about who was more independent, the Soviet Union or Tsarist Russia. They only see that the Soviet Union had lost more than half of the land on the map. Although Tsarist Russia was not very good back then, it was not so wasteful. -p

As for the difficulty in developing permafrost, they would not bother with these problems even if they were immigrants. They did not care. Anyway, the Soviet Union was not as good as Tsarist Russia in terms of territory, which meant that its control was not as good as Tsarist Russia. In terms of combat effectiveness, it was not as good as Tsarist Russia in any way.

It is not so easy to eliminate the remnants of the old era in the country, not to mention that the previous Soviet purge also accidentally injured many people. These are all hidden dangers.

In history, the Soviet Union achieved a relatively good external environment through a series of foreign actions. The rise of the socialist camp after the victory of World War II directly consolidated the Soviet Union's position in the hearts of the local people. Even the leaders of the imperial Russian faction were willing to surrender and return to their country, which was enough to prove the success of the Soviet Union, even if it was the success of great power chauvinism, it was still a success.

But now the Soviet Union is in a state of numbness, so it is natural to face these problems head-on.

Even if the player does not take any action against the Soviet Union next, the Soviet Union will have to lie dormant for a while.

Comrade Gangtie then re-formulated the policy of getting along with Xinhua - leaning back on the East and turning towards the West.

The era of the double-headed eagle has ended. Now the Soviet Union can only choose between the East and the West. Since the Slavs have always desired to go west, and Europe is now the center of the world, the Soviet Union's strategic goals must be concentrated in Europe. Then actively cooperating with Xinhua to build the Belt and Road Initiative has become a very good choice.

It could be said that there was no other choice. After the Chinese People's Volunteer Army helped Xinhua reclaim the Qing Dynasty's standard Xinjiang territory, Xinhua had already deeply embedded itself in Central Asia. Large parts of the original Kazakhstan and eastern Uzbekistan were missing, and the eastern route of the Silk Road was fully opened. The borders with Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Kashmir were longer, and there were more routes to choose from.

The Soviet Union is indeed important to the Belt and Road Initiative, but it is not absolutely important.

On the contrary, the Soviet Union was very curious to know whether it could make up for some of its shortcomings after launching comprehensive trade with Xinhua.

Because not long ago, people from Central Asia started to trade various small commodities from Xinhua.

Section 170: Soviet Joke: Light Industry

(First update. If there is a second update, it will most likely be in the afternoon, or maybe not. ε=(?ο｀*))) Alas)

Xijing, Hualian Supermarket

It's very lively here today because a group of Soviet people came."

That’s right, it was the Molotov delegation. They looked like Granny Liu entering a big manor. They were dazzled by the dazzling array of goods here.

These things are not necessary for a country, but they can effectively improve people's happiness.

Do you like Xinhua's small commodities? Love comes from light industry.

This is a sad story for the Soviet Union. As successful as its heavy industry was, its light industry was lagging behind.

There was once a joke that said a Soviet father wanted to prepare a gift for his daughter. He searched in the factory and finally found some suitable materials. After some effort, he made a heavy machine gun.

The story is somewhat exaggerated, but the Soviet Union's light industry was indeed damaged to an extent that was speechless.

If you think the Soviet Union is far away, then Russia is very close. As the largest fragment of the Soviet Union, Russia inherited 80% of the Soviet Union's industrial capacity and almost all of its core industrial capacity. Its rich heritage once made us drool like crazy, and we tried every means to cooperate with it in all fields, except light industry.

Russian joke: The Sochi Winter Olympics mascot, the Cat in the Hat, was disfigured by a Russian factory.

The Russians’ aesthetics are definitely on point, but regarding light industrial products… the Russians’ artistic cells have been divorced from their own light industry for a long time, and they are even enemies.

Soviet Hell Joke: The Soviet-German War did not cause any damage to the Soviet light industry because there was simply no room for decline.

But the decline of light industry did not mean that the Soviet people had no needs in this regard. They also wanted to enjoy a meal with four dishes and one soup, but the specific implementation level became various combinations of bread, sausages and pickles.

The menu in Soviet canteens remained unchanged for fifty years, and it would take you half a century to do so.

This is not an intentional smear campaign against the Soviet Union; it is a truthful joke about the Soviet Union.

There is even a special Northeast version of a Soviet joke: The best Russian dishes can only be found in Northeast China.

Because when the Soviet Union held the Red and White Song Festival, many White Russian nobles fled to the Northeast, and they also brought authentic Russian court cuisine to the Northeast. So when Russia wanted to restore its own court cuisine in the future, it had to learn from the Northeast.

What, you said some Russian nobles fled to England?

Hey man, do you think Britain has the ability to recreate Russian court cuisine that is still considered a "standard human meal"?

I'm afraid it has already become part of the local stargazing scene.

In fact, another important reason why the Soviet Union focused on heavy industry and led to serious imbalance is that the main population of the Soviet Union could not support the development of both light and heavy industries. Our country can do it because it can mobilize a team of 70 million engineers and there is no shortage of people in all fields. The United States can do it because it can suck blood from the whole world, including absorbing talents from other countries. Historical experience has proved that without the world's largest territory and a population of more than one billion as a basis, it is impossible to want light and heavy industries to move forward together.

The Xinhua in the parallel world has a population of more than 400 million, and after peace, a baby boom soon broke out across the country. It is not a problem for the population to expand to the billion level. The future Xinhua will indeed need so many people to fill the fertile lands and expand the area of ​​Xinhua's core territory.

Therefore, players do not impose any population restrictions at all. They can have as many children as they want. There is definitely enough territory and resources. Twenty or thirty years from now, the number of players will probably swell to millions. With such a talent pool, Xinhua does not worry about the education of so many people. By then, the super planned economy will be launched, everyone will have a job, and it will not be a problem for everyone to become wealthy. Players are working hard for this.

Keep working hard, and you will surely see humanity heading towards the sea of ​​stars in your lifetime.

For the members of the Molotov delegation at this time, the vast expanse of the stars and the sea seemed too far away, but the good things before them were all visible to the naked eye and held immense allure. In reality, Xinhua's light industry was only truly exceptional in Xijing, relying on players' various hacks to bring in relevant data from the real world, allowing them to achieve a triple jump in performance.

Looking at the entire Xinhua at that time, there were still many places that could barely make ends meet, and even the rural cooperatives were still in the partial practice stage.

Even so, Xinhua's light industry still eclipsed the Soviet Union, reaching levels the Soviets couldn't even begin to imagine. The packaging was, at best, a bit rustic. After all, plastic packaging requires petrochemicals. With the People's Republic only being established less than a year ago, Xinhua couldn't produce that many plastic products. Even gasoline and diesel had to be rationed.

Therefore, some of the products in the mall are directly redeemed by players from the system mall, and some are products that players have come up with on their own and have become products on the shelves of the system mall, and are now put on sale.

There were all kinds of biscuits, cakes, drinks, and canned foods, all of which required people to queue up to buy in the Soviet Union at that time.

But in Xinhua, at least in Xijing, as long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want here. As long as you don’t buy too much, no one will ask you anything.

I like it very much. I really like the feeling of being able to choose products at will!

The Russians at this time are like Russia, which was sanctioned by the West after the Russo-Ukrainian War. Although sanctioned, their shelves are filled with products from China National Grain and Oils Corporation. Chinese products are better and cheaper, making them want to shout: Why are you sanctioning me now?

Many Chinese students studying in Russia have experienced what it means to be in the same situation as not going abroad.

The taste of this beef noodle is as authentic as the one at my hometown. -p

However, when it comes to snacks, the snacks that are suitable for Chinese babies are too bland for the Russians who love sweets. But they like the Soviet special editions very much and say that they taste very good.

"That thing makes my throat choke every time I lick it." This is the evaluation of the new recruits.

"That's normal. The Russians like this."

Lin Luan shrugged his shoulders. As a Qiqihar native who often saw Russians, he was not surprised by this.

Among the Soviet delegation, there was a figure who fatefully reached out his hand for Coca-Cola in front of the tasting area in the beverage section.

The future Marshal Zhukov met his favorite little sweet drink at this time.

As a joke, the world's sixth largest navy in the 1980s was Coca-Cola.

After taking a sip of Coke, Zhukov's eyes lit up instantly.

"what is this?"

"Xijing Coke."

Anyway, it's the Chinese name, not Coca-Cola (the Chinese name for Coca-Cola appeared in 1930), and the flavor is specially enhanced to suit the tastes of the Russians, so it's definitely their favorite type.

One cup, two cups, three cups, and...

Zhukov seemed to be addicted to drinking and refused to leave the tasting area. His performance also attracted many people from other Soviet delegations, and then they discovered more drinks in the tasting area.

For example, Molotov liked milk tea. Of course, some members of the Soviet delegation chose fruit juice because of the sweet milk tea that the Russians liked. The wide variety of products in the beverage area directly blinded their eyes.

Coke is good, but it can’t be just Coke. Other drinks should also be arranged, plus matching snacks, which will definitely make these sweet-loving polar bears linger.

Chinese snacks represented by Xijing Cola became famous in this battle and completely monopolized the Soviet consumer market for many years to come. However, this was just the tip of the iceberg of Xinhua Light Industry, and the goodies given by the players were more than just these.
