Chapter 1136: Carrying Russia to Respect Yourself (First update, please subscribe)
No matter what you want in this world, you have to pay a price.
There is never anything for nothing.
While Khrushchev was visiting Nanyang, Nanyang showed goodwill to the Soviet Union. Let the United States respond immediately. Some signals were sent to Nanyang through the Finance Minister - considering that Nanyang's economic share in the world economy has increased, talks can be held on the International Monetary Fund's share.
Of course this is just a signal. If you want to get what each other wants, Nanyang still has to pay some price.
This is the basic rule of the international game - to get something, you must give something.
Li Yi'an knew this rule very well. While authorizing diplomatic and financial negotiations with the United States, he invited Khrushchev to Genting Manor, which was his private estate.
Inviting Khrushchev as a guest is roughly equivalent to the Bushes inviting others to their own farm.
This is a family dinner.
The degree of friendliness can naturally be understood. In fact, this is also sending a signal to the outside world - we are friendly with Russia!
Just like the French Prime Minister's visit to Russia last year, he was trying to improve his united front value through friendship with Russia or communication with the Soviet Union, in exchange for more say and more benefits.
The Americans know this, the Russians also know it, and everyone including Khrushchev knows it. This is just one way of playing the international game.
Nanyang needs to use the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union also needs to use Nanyang to divide and dismantle the fortress of the Western world.
We are just taking what each other needs!
"Washington should be very unhappy right now."
On the lawn of Genting Manor, facing the barbecue, vodka, seafood and other delicacies on the table. Khrushchev said to Li Yi'an:
"Because I am a guest here."
At this time, Khrushchev was proud - among the foreign leaders who were guests here, except the British After the Queen, he is the first.
Li Yi'an said pointedly:
"When you came to Nanyang, there were many countries and they were very unhappy. But you still came."
This is true. The United States was not the most unhappy about Khrushchev’s visit.
“Then let them be unhappy, I said, they have the right to be unhappy. Just like I don’t agree with your political views, but that doesn’t mean we can’t live together in peace. For example, Mikoyan likes pepper soup very much, and I don't like it."
"You can learn from us, and we can learn from you. People have the right to choose the soup and ideas they want, but the most important thing is. It is peace. Only under the premise of peace, people have the right to choose and think."
In fact, Li Yi'an was willing to be friends with Khrushchev, not just because of this guy. Relatively candid, and more importantly, he is one of the rare people who is truly willing to "peacefully compete" and truly believes they can create a better world.
Someone once said that the Soviet Union after Khrushchev actually gave up its ideals. Is the Soviet Union that gave up its ideals still the Soviet Union?
Because of this, Li Yian was more willing to deal with Khrushchev. Rather than Brezhnev and others.
Because Khrushchev is one of the few people who really wanted to create a better world. The reason why he was opposed and overthrown was, to some extent, because he offended the Soviet Union. Privileged groups – abolish their privileges!
After Brezhnev and others seized power, they not only restored the high-level privileges abolished by Khrushchev, but also added some new privileges.
Those guys are just a bunch of blood-sucking parasites lying on the Soviet Union.
What ideals and beliefs have never existed in their minds, or they have given up long ago.
How can we make the world a better place with such a group of insects?
But Khrushchev really believed it!
Perhaps, this is also where he is naive, he believes that the world will become a better place, and that they will eventually be able to build all this and bury the world of Western capitalists.
Well, this ideal is great!
But it is also very admirable.
If there must be competitors, Li Yian is more willing to compete with such a Soviet Union, because only such a Soviet Union can force politicians and capitalists in the Western world to "jointly" make the world a better place!
Of course, these people include himself!
Well, even until now, Li Yian has always been consistent and maintained his original intention of being a "mule and horse".
"Just like because of peace, you launched mankind's first lunar probe and completed mankind's first flight around the moon. This is simply a miracle! Otherwise, during the war, the rocket's The purpose will be destruction, not creation."
Two weeks ago, the Soviet Union launched the "Moon-1" probe, and they once again achieved a human first. The American detector is still on the drawing board. It was not until a week ago that the United States completed their "flea leap."
"Yes, and for this reason, I think "peaceful competition" exists. Maybe one day, we will bury you, but not with rockets, but because your people actively chose us! It is because we won This competition."
Khrushchev took a sip of vodka and took another bite of barbecue and said:
"But now we hope to maintain peace and friendship with all countries, especially Same as Nanyang."
Listening to Khrushchev's confident words, Li Yi'an smiled.
“We also love peace, and I believe you share the same desire.”
"Yes, that's what I think."
Although they were drinking, neither of them mentioned the overseas base. In fact, before the visit, the Soviet Union made a very formal request ——Do not discuss any topics related to Jakarta. So, they didn't talk about the actual issue. "So, I think we should deepen the exchanges between the two peoples. Only by increasing our understanding of each other can we better maintain peace."
Once again , Li Yian put forward suggestions for strengthening exchanges. In fact, it was purposeful.
Whether the Soviet Union was an Iron Curtain country or not, the education in the Soviet Union was still remarkable. In addition to schoolwork, students also paid attention to their hobbies. Gagarin is an example. Even though he was on a remote collective farm, he still learned music. Not only could he play the trumpet, but he also had certain musical attainments. Later, because of his love for aviation, he became a pilot from a worker.
In the Soviet Union, whether in cities or villages, local children participated in after-school interest groups in children's palaces, covering everything from learning art to other aspects. They are not only places for leisure activities but also help determine future careers, and they are all free of charge. Benefiting from this system, most male and female students in the Soviet Union can play one or two musical instruments, or be good at art or dance. Even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, this is what Westerners are most curious about about the Russians—almost every Soviet person has a certain artistic quality. They are generally good at art, dance, music, and drama... Of course, all of them came to an abrupt end with the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Perhaps, the United States and the Western world are abundant in materials, but they are lagging behind in these aspects. Nanyang was also lagging behind, but after realizing that the Soviet Union was ahead in this regard, Li Yian was also learning from the Soviet Union.
Enhancing communication is a way of learning.
But when strengthening exchanges, brides can be introduced from the Soviet Union to Nanyang. After those Soviet women arrived in Nanyang, their artistic literacy would bring certain changes to Nanyang. Of course, kindergartens, nurseries, primary and secondary schools in Nanyang all need caregivers and extracurricular teachers with certain artistic literacy.
Of course, men in Nanyang also need women to start families and reproduce offspring.
Obviously, Khrushchev did not know Li Yi'an's thoughts at all. He did not reject Western tourists. Naturally, he also welcomed tourists from Southeast Asia. He immediately said that he would simplify the procedures for Nanyang people to travel to the Soviet Union and reduce visa fees. Of course, , and also ensures that there will be no problems with the safety of tourists.
In fact, both sides know that all dialogue is empty and it is almost impossible to achieve any substantive progress. However, both Li Yian and Khrushchev hope to send some signals to the outside world through such talks.
For Li Yian, he needs to increase the united front value of Nanyang through contact with Russia, and force the United States to let Nanyang eat the piece of meat it deserves on issues such as the International Monetary Fund, just like France's left and right jumps are average.
As for Khrushchev, he needed to prove to the country that he had once again established a good relationship with a big country. This was a diplomatic victory.
In this way, from November 30 to December 6, Khrushchev and his party visited Nanyang for a full 7 days. 7 days later, at Chang'an International Airport, Li Yian came to the airport to see him off in person. , unlike the handshake when greeting him, Khrushchev chose to hug when seeing him off this time.
The scene of the two embracing has naturally spread all over the world, and everyone can feel that the relationship between the two of them is heating up rapidly. This is of course a signal that they need to send to the outside world.
Before boarding the plane, Khrushchev took the initiative to send an invitation to Li Yian:
"Li, I hope to go to Moscow at your convenience. This is a formal invitation. By then, you will be surprised by what we have created there!”
“Yes, I believe it will be like this, and I look forward to meeting you again in Moscow one day! ”
Li Yian smiled and agreed.
In this way, under the gazes of Li Yian, Margaret and others, the completely different Tu-114 took off with a roar. Looking at the plane going away, Margaret, standing next to her husband, said thoughtfully .
“He is a very straightforward person.”
Although she had not had much contact with him, Margaret had her own opinions about Khrushchev, but then she added.
"Apart from being constantly exposed to capitalists and them, he should be a very easy to get along with."
Nodding slightly, Li Yian agreed.
"He is a very straightforward person, but he is not necessarily a qualified politician. Maybe..."
Looking at the departing plane, Li Yi'an said with a slightly pityful tone.
"This is him too..."
He originally wanted to say failure, but he shook his head and did not continue.
At the same time, Khrushchev said to Mikoyan who was accompanying him as he watched the departing Chang'an from the sky.
"Li is a very frank person, and it is easy to deal with him."
"Indeed, he is very frank!"
Gromyko added on the side:
< br>"Yes, among the leaders of Western countries, he is one of the few countries that has goodwill toward us. Of course, he will never make any concessions in terms of interests. Well, he is more like a businessman , a businessman... always treats everyone with goodwill, and his purpose is ultimately for business. He is willing to sell us a lot of goods, and is even willing to transfer technology, but he never gives in on the price, and it is very expensive! "
This is the reality of cooperation between Nanyang and the Soviet Union - Nanyang has technology, but it is very expensive. The Soviet Union wants it, but it has to pay real money. In fact, this is also Nanyang's established strategy - to bring Russia with it to respect itself, or in other words He raised the bandits to respect themselves.
If Russia is not strong, how can the United States cut its flesh?
Only when Russia becomes stronger, the United States will try its best to win over Nanyang. Otherwise, Nanyang will be the next enemy of the United States!
For Gromyko’s evaluation, Khrushchev did not object, but nodded slightly and said:
“This is a common problem among businessmen...This is also doomed for everything. Everything..."
Gazing at the city outside the window, Khrushchev's tone became certain and resolute.
"This may be his paradise, but it is definitely not the people's paradise!"
