Chapter 784: A good wife at home

The first of the "Fourteen Points" put forward by the late US President Wilson was "Sign open contracts and put an end to secret diplomacy."

Therefore, although Russia and the United States do not have the name of alliance, they are actually an alliance, and the spearhead is directed at the British Empire.

In 1925, the top two industrial countries in the world were the United States and Russia.

Ordinarily, the United States, ranked first, should join forces with the United Kingdom, ranked third, to suppress Russia, ranked second.

But Russia's second place is not the same as Germany's second place. There are fundamental differences.

Germany's industrial technology is good, but its foundation is too poor. It relies heavily on resource imports and is inherently deficient. Therefore, during the world war, Britain blocked Germany's coastline and trapped Germany to death.

Russia has more than 20 million square kilometers, a population of 180 million, and all the resources. It has two die-hard allies in Europe, the Kingdom of Romania and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and in Asia it has the Grand Duchy of Korea and Yuriev. How can it be sealed?

Not only does the United States now dare not suppress Russia, but it must actively cooperate with Russia in order to drink from the European market.

Forget about the meat, it’s all Russian.

Frank Kellogg, president of the American Bar Association, was hired as a special litigation attorney by the U.S. government in cases involving the Paper Trust, Standard Oil Company, Union Pacific Railroad, and Southern Pacific Railroad Consolidated Company. , winning one after another.

Frank Kellogg served as ambassador to Britain and was a judge of the Permanent Court of the League of Nations, and was familiar with European affairs.

Frank Kellogg was relatively unfamiliar with Russia.

This cannot be blamed on Frank Kellogg. Even George is unfamiliar with Russia today, let alone Frank Kellogg, an American.

At the time when George lived, Red Russia had already disintegrated, so George did not know what Russia was like at its peak.

Compared with the imperial era, Russia today is creating new peaks every year.

Russia's grain production has reached a new high this year. The joy of the harvest is gratifying, but it also brings a new problem.

Corresponding to the increase in grain output year by year, the price of grain has been declining year by year, which has begun to affect farmers' enthusiasm for producing grain.

Farmers are the foundation of Russia, and George will not let low prices hurt farmers, so improving agricultural standards has become Felix's new task.

Russia's main agricultural products are cereal crops, mainly wheat and corn, and the main agricultural products exported to Europe are also mainly cereals.

George hopes to further process agricultural products.

Felix is ​​no stranger to the agricultural product processing industry. The Yusupov family was originally the flour king in the Russian Empire.

George reminds Felix that there is more to wheat and corn than grinding it into flour.

Taking corn as an example, in addition to being used to feed livestock, after corn is processed, it can be widely used in food, textile, papermaking, chemical industry, medicine, building materials and other industries.

The same goes for potatoes. In addition to being made into mashed potatoes and used to stew beef, they can also be widely used in the above industries.

The biggest difficulty in this work is that it must be led by the state.

“It’s not appropriate for professors to study corn—”

Felix fell into the old Russian habit of being top-heavy.

A very important reason for the disintegration of Red Russia was the neglect of light industry.

The neglect here is not that there is nothing, but that there is quantity but no quality.

The shoemaking industry in Red Russia is large-scale and ranks first in the world in terms of output. However, a large number of shoes are imported every year to meet domestic demand, which is very telling.

It’s not that Hong Russia doesn’t produce shoes, but the quality is too poor and no one wants them, so they are overstocked in stores and cannot be sold. Russia is not without technology. Except for manned landing on the moon, Russia is ahead of the United States in almost every step in aerospace. Is there any reason why it can’t even make shoes?

The root cause is still the zombie economy.

Russia is now promoting a market economy under the leadership of the Russian government.

Since there is no competitive pressure in the zombie economy, no matter what the quality of the products, factories will always have orders anyway, so they naturally lack the motivation to improve their products.

Russia currently has three major economic belts, centered on Amur, Urals, and Moscow-St. Petersburg.

These three regions have complete industrial systems. Factories compete with each other, forcing factories to invest more energy in improving product quality. If they do not make progress, orders from the Russian government will decrease.

It is impossible to cancel. The factory needs orders to survive. Even if the product quality is not satisfactory, it is still okay to sell to Korea.

"As long as they are given enough money, professors will take the initiative to study postpartum care for sows."

George is really not playing tricks. There is indeed a professor at Amur University who is studying the postpartum care of sows.

No matter how powerful the performance of Russia's armored combat vehicles is, to ordinary people, it is not as meaningful as a fashionable and well-made jacket.

George and Felix's clothes are all custom-made. The tailors are royal tailors who have served the royal family before, and their craftsmanship is definitely good.

Ordinary people do not have the conditions or ability to ask royal tailors to provide them with one-on-one special services, but garment factories can hire royal tailors as designers, which is called making the best use of people.

Just like the factory, the professors also have a clear division of labor. Some are studying astrophysics, while others are studying postpartum care for sows.

George hopes that Russia’s main agricultural exports in the future can be upgraded from grains to deeply processed products such as ham and canned goods, so that more profits can be retained in Russia.

If the hams exported from Russia to Germany sell for less than the hams produced by German farmers themselves, then Germany will never be able to get rid of its dependence on Russia.

Reducing the cost of ham will require research into postpartum care for sows.

Felix wasn't too happy and thought the professors should work on composite armor steel.

Compared with Felix, Yusupova understands George's purpose better.

"This is the biggest difference between you and George. George pays more attention to the needs of ordinary people. This is also the reason why the Yuriev family can become the first family in Russia in just 30 years."

Yusupova was convinced by George.

"My mission is to lead Russia to defeat all opponents and reach an unprecedented peak, rather than staring at the deep processing of corn every day."

Felix was full of complaints.

"What happens after reaching the top? Russia has been at the top of Europe more than once in history, but so what. When the glory of the empire is no longer there, the Russians abandon the empire without hesitation, so the focus is on people."


Yusupova means a lot.

Felix and his wife, the father is the supreme leader of the Russian government, and the son is the speaker of the State Duma. They seem to have unlimited glory, but in fact they are in danger.

The foundation laid by George for Felix was so good that if things went wrong, both Felix and Felix would have no one to blame.
