The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

Now that we have food and drink, don’t we need to consider things like clothing, decoration, and transportation?

Molotov, who had been bitter because of the unsatisfactory negotiation results, was now holding the hand of Minister Chen of Xinhua's Ministry of Commerce to discuss how to purchase Xinhua's snacks and drinks. He himself was not an expert in this field, so this was just an intention, but for many things between countries, as long as there is an intention, the project can be promoted.

"No, it's true that I majored in food, but I don't do sales work."

"Then learn slowly. The motherland and the people need your knowledge now."

"I... okay, where are we going?" asked the player "Ruin Your Dream of Pretending".

"Go to the Soviet Union to sell our products. Come on!"

Chapter 171: Let’s form a lifelong band

(Second update! I won’t say Happy Qingming Festival anymore. Everyone must study hard and take care of their health so that they can avoid working overtime-_-||)

The person who ruins your dream of showing off is someone who particularly likes to ruin your dream of showing off.

This may seem like nonsense, but if a person can accurately find the opponent's weakness and deliver a combination of punches when the opponent is pretending to be powerful, directly breaking the opponent's defense, then he can... get a beating from the opponent.

Damn it, society is so difficult, and you are still here exposing other people’s secrets. Don’t you understand that life is so difficult if you don’t expose them?

Logically speaking, the one who ruined your dream of showing off can get as many punches as he wants every day, but because he is 1.87 meters tall and has well-trained muscles, many people decisively choose peace after their dreams of showing off are ruined.

It’s not a big deal, we can make money by getting along.

As a person with social anxiety, Ruining Your Pretentious Dream is not good at diplomatic gestures. Although he squeezed the Soviet representatives to the point of being speechless during the negotiations, he is still an i-person overall. Even if his speaking speed can be as fast as if his parents in Zaan were still alive, he still firmly believes that he is an i-person.

Because I have too few friends.

Otherwise, you should change your way of doing things before making friends.

But gold always shines. Look, he, who works in the food industry, found a good job in the game "Age of War". He is as happy every day as if it were New Year's Day.

As for going abroad, he himself didn't want to, but the words "the motherland and the people need you" moved him, so he abandoned his pretentious dream and went to Moscow as a member of the Xinhua delegation to the Soviet Union.

After arriving at the place, the Soviet side gave him very high-level treatment. After the welcoming ceremony at the airport, he immediately met with Comrade Gangtie in the Kremlin. Both sides had a very pleasant conversation, as if all the previous conflicts had been resolved.

That is of course impossible, but as long as Xinhua is strong enough, the surrounding neighbors will remain friendly.

But when it came time for the dinner, the Soviets showed their fangs.

The Russians have a very strong character. Even if they cannot be strong, they will show their strength where they think they can. The drinking table is the battlefield for the Soviets, and they have the physiological advantages of high-latitude people under alcohol frenzy.

The genes nurtured by generations of alcohol make it more likely that alcohol-tolerant individuals will appear among them. Therefore, since the Tsarist era, the Slavs have been accustomed to showing their strength at the wine table, thereby gaining an advantage in subsequent negotiations.

Of course, they don't use this method on everyone, nor do they use it regardless of the occasion, but this time Xinhua came under the banner of friendly exchanges, so they could force Xinhua representatives to drink alcohol under the pretext of friendship. This is also part of Slavic culture - drinking table bullying.

A true Slavic warrior is not afraid of the challenge of the water of life.

Under normal circumstances, the Xinhua delegation would definitely not be able to drink as much as these Russians, but players are an exception. In this Xinhua delegation visiting the Soviet Union, players account for half of the number, and the effect of alcohol on players is zero.

Then, the biggest disaster in the history of Soviet diplomacy happened. The members of the Xinhua delegation present drank bottle after bottle of vodka with smiles on their faces. At first they clinked their glasses together, and later they blew the vodka into the bottles. The expressions of the Soviet reception staff also changed from the initial smile to surprise, then shock, and finally to expressionless faces, because they fell down due to drinking.

Except for Comrade Gangtie, who was not chased and forced to drink because of his identity, all the Soviet military and political leaders present were killed. Chuikov even crawled under the table. The situation was quite out of control.

The next day, the Xinhua delegation was in high spirits and did what they had to do, but four-fifths of the military and political leaders on the Soviet side were forced to ask for leave. Comrade Gangtie, who knew what happened last night, personally approved the permission.

Shame on Dafa.

Yesterday was the first hurdle we crossed on our way to the Soviet Union, and we successfully passed it. Now it’s time to let the Soviet people experience the charm of Xinhua Light Industry, and start building Xinhua Cultural Street.

This was something that Xinhua had already agreed upon with the Soviet Union. After all, it was a cooperation at the national level. It would be so low to just set up a stall to sell things. If they were to do it, they had to do it on a large scale. Relying on the fact that players could take out massive amounts of supplies at any time, they only needed to transport a batch of supplies to Moscow via the Eurasian Railway in the early stage. Then they could build the Xinhua Cultural Street and make the whole of Moscow lively with countless wonderful light industrial products.

"Should we make an advertisement?" said the one who ruined your pretentious dream.

"In this era, is advertising distributed through leaflets or broadcast on the radio?"

"No, no, no, don't we have high-performance speakers with integrated tape recorders? Let's play the Soviet March with modified lyrics."

"Good idea, let's try it!"

Comrades who have played "Red Alert 3" know that the Soviet March is a typical black Soviet March, but the melody of the song is very good, so as long as the lyrics are changed, it can be turned into catchy pop music, which must be very popular in this era.

As for how to change the words, players just copy them. There are various versions on Bilibili, even lip-synced ones. As long as they choose the most suitable one that best adapts to the times, they can capture the hearts of the Soviet people.

However, it would be boring to just play the "Soviet March" with the changed lyrics. Some players also suggested that a rock version of "The Red Army is the Strongest" could be released. Moreover, there happened to be several players in the delegation who were proficient in musical instruments, so everyone could announce on the spot that they would form a lifelong band.

Ruining your pretentious dream slapped his thigh and said, "Good idea, let's do it!"

However, the players' plans and executions, like Tzeentch's plans, often have slight discrepancies.

You think of a band as consisting of guitar, bass, drums and a lead singer, or maybe a guitarist or bassist who also serves as the lead singer.

But the team that the players put together in Moscow is: suona, erhu, guzheng, and pipa.

Looking at this classical mainstream band, the expressions of the delegation members were: (⊙o⊙)…

"No, are you sure this will work?"

"What's wrong with that? I can play anything with the suona. Do you understand the value of the king of musical instruments? Huan;."

"I'm worried that the suona will send the whole audience away once it sounds. The sound inside is too penetrating and recognizable."

"Also, are you sure you can play the suona and pipa together?"

"Why not? I saw that Bawang Chaji has this kind of event."

"What did the ancestor say?"

"At least it's been passed down. Don't worry about the details."

"It's quite nice, with a kind of ceramic Astartes beauty." -p

The players found it very acceptable, but other members of the delegation felt that it was even more outrageous than Guan Gong fighting Qin Hui.

"Prime Minister, do you think this will work?"

"Aren't the young men of the Volunteer Army quite enthusiastic? Just leave it to them."

"I worry……"

"It's okay. Perhaps this new art form can give us new ideas."

Because it was a sudden decision, the players needed to rehearse, so the Soviet side arranged a room for them in the Kremlin to rehearse.

As for the rehearsal effect, the Soviet guards on duty later became fans of classical Chinese musical instruments. Even Khrushchev learned to play the suona, and he played it quite well. Beria became a erhu fan. When he learned to play Erquan Yingyue under the guidance of the players, even the players themselves found it difficult to play.

In a sense, this BGM is quite appropriate, especially when combined with Belia's future ending.

During this period, the Soviet Union also fully cooperated with Xinhua's various propaganda efforts, letting the entire Soviet Union know that Xinhua was going to build a Xinhua Cultural Street in Moscow. Those exquisite propaganda posters even had a Chinese style and became very unique collectibles.

In addition to publicity, Xinhua also established diplomatic exchanges with other countries in China. Major countries in the world successively recognized the Xinhua government, and small neighboring countries quickly prostrated themselves at the feet of Xinhua, even though Xinhua had no intention of doing so.

For example, Thailand immediately asked Xinhua whether the relationship between the two countries remained the same. After receiving an affirmative answer from Xinhua, the King of Thailand happily sent his son as a hostage and talked about his friendship with Xinhua in the country. He did not think there was anything wrong with his actions and directly made the Xinhua government incompetent.

No, buddy, it’s been so many years, why are you still paying tribute?

Chapter 172: Vietnam accepts its fate, North Korea respects

(First update today, so tiredε=(?ο｀*)))Alas)

"No, I can't accept it!"

"Then go talk to Xinhua."

"You want to be a traitor!"

"There's no point in putting accusations on people. Go convince Xinhua. Why are you barking like a dog here?"

"you!"

"That's enough! Be quiet."

Ho Chi Minh sighed. Not long ago, the Communist Party of Vietnam had a frank exchange with Xinhua, while Xinhua was ambiguous about whether to help Vietnam.

It's not that they didn't help. Xinhua was very generous and provided five divisions of Japanese equipment free of charge (it was just sitting in the warehouse waiting to rot anyway, so it was a good opportunity to clear it out and put other equipment in it). It can be said that this was a move that took the feelings of both sides into consideration (the Viet Cong did not have the ability to produce its own weapons), but the Viet Cong wanted more, such as Xinhua's support for their unification.

And then nothing happened. Xinhua directly stated that "at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many difficulties and the help was limited. Please understand."

What else can we do if we can't understand it? Xinhua has already given a lot. As for whether the Viet Cong are satisfied or whether they have channels to get more things, that is not within Xinhua's consideration, because what Xinhua has given is enough. Now the Viet Cong has directly armed five divisions for free. Doesn't this count as combat effectiveness?

But Ho Chi Minh knew very well that these were all rootless duckweed. The five divisions had a lot of equipment, but the ammunition could only be obtained from Japan and Xinhua. There was no need to think about Japan, as that country did not have enough on its own. Other countries were now busy with other things. Their only channel for obtaining resources was Xinhua. In other words, whether Vietnam could fight and win the war of liberation depended on Xinhua's attitude towards them.

In the original history, Xinhua provided great assistance, but in the parallel world, the decision-makers of Xinhua had the power of the Volunteer Army. The Volunteer Army regarded the Viet Cong as ungrateful and said that even brothers should settle accounts clearly. However, since the Viet Cong did play a certain role in the process of Xinhua's revolution, giving them some weapons and ammunition was considered a consideration.

The Red Party must respect the Volunteer Army's clear statement, so the aid Vietnam received could not be exaggerated to the extent of overturning the balance of the war.

Even Xinhua and the Volunteer Army did not send instructors to Vietnam. If the Viet Cong had the ability to liberate the whole of Vietnam on their own, Xinhua would definitely recognize it.

"Let's accept the reality. Jiaozhi is Jiaozhi, and Vietnam is Vietnam. Xinhua wants to recover the land that has been its home since ancient times. We cannot stop it. Or do any comrades think that we have other options on this issue?"

Under Ho Chi Minh's gaze, other Viet Cong members lowered their heads.

They are just expressing their views through this noisy way, but they don't really think they have the ability to bargain with Xinhua on issues that have existed since ancient times.

What? Have you forgotten the other name of Friendship Level?

No, the Friendship Pass in this world is still Zhennan Pass. The Volunteer Army doesn’t care much about the surprise of friendly countries.

The resigned Viet Cong quickly reached a consensus with the Xinhua government on the issue of Jiaozhi's return to Xinhua. Both sides respected each other's territorial sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Jiaozhi region has been an integral part of Xinhua since ancient times. This also means that the area north of the 14th parallel north is considered Xinhua's Jiaozhi, Da Nang will belong to Xinhua, and the northern part of Vietnam's Quang Nam Province will become the new border between the two countries.

Vietnam's land area has thus been fixed at 140,000 square kilometers.

Even if small Vietnam has ideas about other Southeast Asian countries, it has to weigh its own importance. What's more, the situations in South Vietnam and North Vietnam are very different. The influence of the Viet Cong in the local area is not as great as that in North Vietnam, and the local landlords and compradors in Vietnam obviously do not want a group of red-headed people who are interested in their lives and property to take over Vietnam.

It is foreseeable that for a considerable period of time to come, Vietnam, which has shrunk to 140,000 square kilometers, will still face serious internal contradictions, especially class contradictions.

If the Vietnamese Communist Party chooses to compromise, they will gradually lose more under the corrosion of capital and feudalism, completely degenerate, and even become a new mountain on the heads of the Vietnamese people. If they do not compromise, or at least do not compromise for a period of time, then Vietnam’s internal conflicts will definitely break out, even a civil war.

This is also a good thing. After seeing the miserable plight of their former southern compatriots, the local Vietnamese in the north will be more accepting of their new identity.

I am a new Chinese. Who do I have to do with you bunch of Vietnamese beggars? Get out of here!

Happiness requires comparison. What could be more contrasting than my neighbor suffering from a disaster while I have enough to eat?

When the relevant information about the border negotiations between Xinhua and the Viet Cong was leaked, the Japanese troops that had occupied Da Nang immediately evacuated, without even touching the local wealth. They fled to Vietnam's Kon Tum Province overnight and plunged into Kon Tum City and never came out, proving with practical actions that they had no intention of having any conflict with Xinhua.

All of this was seen by the locals, and the "Heavenly Kingdom" gene in the hearts of many people was violently activated.

"The Japanese are running away now?"

"Of course, this land of ours will be the Celestial Empire from now on, and we are Chinese!"

"real or fake?"

"It's all in the newspapers."

"I'm Chinese now? I'm Chinese now!"

"See? See? This is the majesty of the Celestial Empire. Just open your mouth and you can make the arrogant Japanese get out!"

"But weren't they beaten badly before the Qing Dynasty?"

"Grandpa Ruan, this is an old calendar from many years ago. Now the Celestial Empire has changed its government and it should be called Xinhua." -p

"The imperial court has changed, the Celestial Empire is back!"

"Yes, we're back! The Celestial Empire is back!"

Although Vietnam's behavior in later generations gave people the feeling that it disliked Xinhua and wanted to oppose it everywhere, in fact, Vietnam did not dare to really turn against Xinhua. They had already paid the price for turning against Xinhua. At most, they would disgust people with some things, rather than really fight with Xinhua for victory or defeat. After all, Xinhua valued decency, while small countries could only jump left and right. The key is not what they say, but what they do.

Compared with the brutality of the Japanese, the Chinese Empire never bullied them like this back then.

Therefore, when the old order collapses and the new order fails to be established, people will subconsciously miss the old order.

The worst order is better than no order at all.

The performances of the former Manqing and the Republic of China were disappointing, so the Southeast Asian countries gave up the idea. However, when Xinhua rose strongly and swept across the world, they couldn't wait to kneel down in a different position.

The Rome of Europe is dead, but the Rome of the East is always there.

If there are still some quarrels and dissatisfactions on the Vietnamese side, the situation on the North Korean side can only be described as respectful.

Should we simply count all the areas north of Seoul, Korea as the Four Han Commanderies?

No problem, no problem at all, Dad, you can take it, you can take it away, we don’t mind getting closer to you. Anyway, Korea used to be dependent on the Central Plains dynasty. Compared with that moody little devil, we know how to serve our old father better. Now that father has returned to the throne, please accept your greetings!

Do you think this is a bit abnormal? Where is the awakening of nationalist thought that was promised?

Yes, it is true that nationalist thought has awakened, but in the face of the greater historical inertia, the nationalist thought, which is only twenty or thirty years old in this land, is no match for the tributary system.

And a very important point is that there are also differences between nationalist thoughts. For some countries that have almost no independent thinking about their past history, whose current independence depends entirely on the completion of other countries' history, and who have never won a victory on their own, nationalism is more like a bargaining chip with the strong rather than the courage to fight to the death.

How many nations in the world have dared to resist a major power to the bitter end for independence, without being completely annihilated? Even the most rebellious nations, like Poland, during their era of annihilation, were often more concerned with their daily lives, rather than banding together to restore their nation. The greatest tragedy of the weak is their lack of choice, making them more susceptible to compromise.
