Chapter 1316 The cruelty of the real world (first update, please subscribe)
Maybe, one day, this red empire will disintegrate, maybe, he will be trampled on and slandered by many people, maybe, all the crimes will be attributed to he!
However, no matter how derogatory this country is, we cannot ignore the achievements this country has made in many aspects.
At this time, the Soviets had full confidence in claiming the greatness of the Soviet Union.
Although there are some shortcomings, I have to say that they did make a brave attempt here.
Li Yian's understanding of this is extremely profound, and being in it, you can even feel their achievements and their idealistic attempts.
Like many people who visited the Soviet Union, during the visit, he not only went to the Moscow Theater to watch "Swan Lake", but also went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to lay a wreath. He also went to Volgograd, What you see there is not a ruin, but a city rebuilt on the ruins.
Volgograd is the steel city. Last year, out of the need to oppose personal worship, it was renamed Volgograd based on its geographical location on the Volga River.
Due to the huge damage caused by the war, there is not a single intact building in this city.
Now, this city that was completely destroyed during the war has been rebuilt.
When visiting the city, Li Yian made a special trip to the famous fountain flower bed - there was a statue on the fountain flower bed. The statue is of several children, both male and female, holding hands and dancing in a circle. The children all have bright smiles.
The statue of children performing round dances was destroyed during the war. This statue was rebuilt after the war. Jing looked at him quietly.
“This is a very famous statue!”
At this time, Khrushchev said from the side:
“I came here just after the battle. , it was all in ruins at that time. Looking at the ruins, I knew that we would definitely rebuild this place. You see... now, we have built it better!”
The reason why this city is on the visiting schedule of foreign dignitaries is not because of that battle, but because the commander of that battle was Khrushchev. He was not a general or a marshal, but a soldier of steel. The representative came here as a political commissar to supervise the battle.
So, to a certain extent, this battle is the most dazzling one in Khrushchev’s medal of merit.
“Look, this is the power of the Soviet people!”
Khrushchev turned to look at Li Yian and said:
“War can destroy everything, but Our will cannot be destroyed, we have rebuilt everything here with our own hands and will!”
"Yes, this is also the most admirable place for the Soviet people. It is precisely because of this that many people regard this place as the hope of mankind."
You can never say too many good things, especially when dealing with them At that time, appropriate compliments would definitely bring extra rewards. As soon as Li Yian finished speaking, Khrushchev burst into laughter with joy. But then, his smile faded, he looked at Li Yian, and said in an extremely serious tone:
"Li, actually, even without your mediation, I will give in!"
The sudden words stunned Li Yi'an. He heard Khrushchev continue:
"Because I know very well that if the war really breaks out, then we will have no ability to stop him, because this is The logic of war. I've fought in two wars and know that war sows death and destruction everywhere in cities and villages, and then it's all over."
The fear of war revealed in Khrushchev's words was because he was a witness to the war. He was not the supreme commander and would not think about victory while standing in front of the map. All he considered was victory at all costs.
Being on the front line, he saw the price with his own eyes!
He did see that here, in Zhelev outside the city, in Kursk, on the left bank of Ukraine, millions of Soviet soldiers arrived on the battlefield like a tide and then died as political commissars He sees the cost of war every day, and because of this, he is afraid of war.
In fact, it’s not just him—almost everyone who has experienced war, deep down, rejects war, or even fears it!
Li Yian also feels the fear shown by Khrushchev now.
Then, Khrushchev stood there and said:
"It's crazy to think that two people sitting on opposite sides of the world can decide to end human civilization."
It was precisely because Khrushchev did not want war from the bottom of his heart that the crisis in Cuba was ended. Looking at Khrushchev who looked serious and serious, Li Yi'an said:
“Yes, this is indeed crazy!”
“Yes, so I believe that we can prove ourselves through peaceful competition, and in the end, your people will choose us!”
Still as confident as before, Li Yian became a little silent when faced with such a confident Khrushchev.
In fact, Khrushchev’s greatest achievement was not political, but scientific. He vigorously promoted aerospace and was the first human leader to value space. He ushered in the space age. It was enough for him to leave his name. Without his support, spaceflight would have been delayed for at least a few years. When the United States still thought it was in the lead, the Soviet Union had already entered orbit. When the United States crossed the Karman Line, Khrushchev called it "a flea." "Leap", Khrushchev believed that this demonstrated their superiority over capitalism and eased peaceful competition with the United States.
The United States finally panicked and began to learn from the Soviet Union's national system in the "moon landing". With the fall of Khrushchev, the death of Korolev, the failure of n1, Brezhnev Stopping the Soviet moon landing, he not only lacked interest in aerospace, but also had no interest in science. As a result, the Soviet Union not only gradually fell behind in aerospace technology, but also directly abandoned the frontier of science and technology, and space competition tended to ease. If Khrushchev had not stepped down, his emphasis on aerospace and the need for rockets and satellites would have accelerated the Soviet Union's earlier abandonment of electronic tubes and research on transistors. He would have even created the Soviet Internet and established automation to avoid bureaucracy. ization and realize their dreams earlier. The technological development driven by aerospace has solved more practical problems than they imagined.
What will happen to the Soviet Union after Khrushchev?
It was Burnett's stagnation, and it was during this stagnation that the distance between the Soviet Union and the United States was widened, and it was eventually left far behind by the United States.
In this world, what will the Soviets choose?
Li Yian thought about the medal emperor he met at the state banquet in Moscow. Will he still come on stage?
Brezhnev overthrew Khrushchev and re-advocated steel, ending almost everything in the Khrushchev era. When the Soviets discovered that something was wrong, they had no choice but to choose Gorbachev.
Because of this, compared to the Corn Emperor in front of him, Li Yian really has no good impression of the Medal Emperor. There is no other reason... Because deep down in his heart, Li Yian is very fond of Khrushchev. Appreciative.
This kind of appreciation shows that he really wants people to eat meat. Many people's satire on corn is that "the Soviet Union began to exchange gold for food to alleviate domestic difficulties since the corn era.", but completely ignored the reality - he was exchanging gold for food so that the people could eat meat, not as in the past , by lowering rations and exporting grain in exchange for gold or other things.
In fact, he does not need to spend gold and foreign exchange to buy a large amount of food from abroad. All he needs to do is pay some price, just like before. But he didn't do that. He was perhaps the only Soviet leader who truly cared about the lives of ordinary Soviet people.
Thinking of this, Li Yian cast his eyes to the distance, where rows of "Khrushchev Towers" can also be seen. Only those who have personal experience will know what a great initiative this is. Its greatness lies in the fact that for the first time in human history, in a large country with a population of more than 100 million, no one has to worry about housing.
At this time, Khrushchev changed the topic again, looked at Li Yian and said:
"Although I sincerely believe in all this, Li, for the sake of safety, we have to create More intercontinental missiles, because we don’t know if there will be a madman in this world one day!”
Is this an explanation?
Yes, of course not, it’s more of a conversation between friends.
In fact, I don’t know since when, in Khrushchev’s eyes, Li Yi’an had already become his friend, and all of this was just a conversation between friends.
“Yes, terror itself is a kind of peace, I can understand this choice!”
Li Yian nodded and said:
"Just like Nanyang, Nanyang also needs to make some necessary choices for its own safety. We have all experienced war and understand the horror of war, but in order to avoid all this, we have to use the most extreme methods to Maintain peace!"
Nodded, Khrushchev said:
"Yes, this may be the most troublesome thing!"
Li Yi Anshen He said with approval:
"It is also the most nonsense thing! Perhaps, this is the most nonsense thing in this world!"
Then the two of them started laughing!
Soon they visited the famous tractor factory. In that tractor factory, Khrushchev even showed off somewhat ostentatiously:
“The tractors we manufacture now are in Egypt. Ethiopia has reclaimed a lot of land, but we are different from you. We helped them build it in the past."
Okay!
Big Brother has such a kind heart!
Li Yi'an didn't even bother to complain about his "goodness". Like the Americans, he always likes to put a layer of disguise on certain behaviors. Like how good Nanyang is, we just go there...well, to help the local people with economic construction. of!
Okay!
Everyone is there for each other!
But it has to be said that the Corn Emperor's choice of Ethiopia was indeed a highly cost-effective investment. By supporting a military coup, he not only gained an ally, but also obtained a large amount of food.
This directly led to the fact that although the Soviet Union’s grain production decreased last year, it did not need to use gold to import grain!
After his visit to Volgograd came to an end, Li Yian finally set foot on another important purpose of his trip - Ukraine.
Visiting Ukraine is the second most important thing. The most important thing is to have what he wants in Ukraine.
