Chapter 1511: Throwing coins, the beginning of throwing coins! (Second update, please subscribe)
May in Moscow is the most beautiful season of the year. After a long winter dormancy, the streets of Moscow, Russia in May have officially entered a season of blooming flowers and colorful colors. People come out of the streets one after another, greedily bathing in the sunshine, green trees and sea of flowers. among.
While people were enjoying the sunshine and green trees, long black Geese cars were driving in the "emergency lane" in the middle of the road.
These Geese cars themselves are a symbol of power and status. Whenever they are about to pass a certain intersection, the traffic police will prohibit other cars from driving at the intersection to ensure that these convoys can pass quickly.
More than a dozen long black "Gil" cars drove in one direction - the Kremlin.
They drive past the Borovitsky Gate in the Kremlin Walls.
Today the highest level of the Soviet Union is about to begin a meeting that will change the course of history.
In the conference room, a long T-shaped table occupies most of the space. The table is covered with a green countertop.
Khrushchev was sitting there, smoking a cigarette as usual with a smile on his face.
“Andre, let’s put it this way, the Westerners have pushed all those African countries to us!”
"Yes,"
Gromyko said:
"Recently, the public opinion circles in the United States and Europe are full of news about the African region. Many people are blaming African countries, accusing Africans of not having the ability to govern the country, accusing them of falling into chaos and turmoil after independence. in.
Because of this, European and American countries now have to adjust their policies towards Africa. As a result, many African countries are complaining about it.
Because of this, they have shown favor to us one after another. ”
Gromyko specifically emphasized:
"Yes, that's right, now Western countries are pushing those African countries into our arms, in an extremely stupid way and for very stupid reasons."
In the eyes of everyone, the behavior of Westerners is extremely stupid. It is the leaders of those African countries who used aid to build mansions and buy luxury cars.
So what?
Compared to those countries, this is nothing worth mentioning.
"Haha, what a bunch of stupid guys."
Khrushchev took a puff of cigarette, and then said excitedly:
"We must use this opportunity to win over all African countries and turn them into our friends and allies.
When Americans and Europeans realize this, Africa will become ours. ”
Khrushchev emphasized his tone and said:
"Africa, our Africa."
For Khrushchev, who had just concluded his visit to Africa, his visit to Africa, especially to Ethiopia, allowed him to see the rich side of Africa.
"In the eyes of many people, Africa is backward and poor. However, Africa has an extremely vast land and there are no four seasons. Food can be grown all year round. Even cattle and pigs grow there at a very fast rate. Faster than in the Soviet Union ”
What is a Feng Shui treasure land?
Africa is definitely a land of geomantic omen. A brief inspection in Ethiopia made Khrushchev realize that that fertile land hid potential unimaginable by the world.
Especially for the Soviet Union, the importance of Africa is self-evident. After all, the Soviet Union needs food, and according to the speculation of the department and the Planning Commission, in the next few decades, the Soviet Union must continue to import food. Only in this way can the domestic people's needs for meat, milk and other supplies be met.
However, importing food from the United States, Canada and other countries requires foreign exchange, and foreign exchange is precisely what the Soviet Union lacks most.
In this case, Africa can get back a large amount of food simply by exporting industrial products. Its importance is also reflected.
Because of this, after returning to Moscow from Ethiopia, Khrushchev asked various departments to compile statistics on various data.
"Last year we imported 20 million tons of corn and 3 million tons of wheat from Ethiopia. For this reason, we exported 4 million tons of chemical fertilizers and a large amount of pesticides to Ethiopia. We also exported agricultural machinery and oil worth hundreds of millions of rubles."
When mentioning these figures, Khrushchev looked at his colleagues present and continued.
"Comrades, although I don't like Western capitalist economics, we can see that by exporting agricultural machinery, fertilizers and other materials, our industry has been further developed. While industrial development, we have also gained More food..."
Although the Soviet Union has always rejected Western economics,
"Yes, Comrade Nikita, in the past few years, we have imported Ethiopian grain and exported agricultural machinery and other agricultural materials to Ethiopia.
Our country's economy has indeed achieved further development and growth, which is undoubtedly beneficial to the development of the Soviet Union. ”
Brezhnev immediately echoed. "I think just as you said, Ethiopia and even Africa, it is not just a place where we go to help the local people liberate, it is also the lifeline of the Soviet Union.
So we must do our best to help the local people be liberated. This helps them as well as ourselves. ”
When Brezhnev finished speaking, others echoed and agreed. Of course, most of the time they praised Khrushchev's wisdom.
After all, the benefits brought by the Soviet Union's investment in Ethiopia were beyond their imagination. Even because of this, they believed that the reason why Western capitalist countries became developed countries was based on their plunder of colonies.
"Yes, just like I said to the British when I visited London - we will bury their colonial empire one day, and that day has arrived, now or in the near future."
Khrushchev said in a serious tone.
"Now those Western countries have pushed Africa to us because of their short-sightedness. We must seize this opportunity to liberate the entire Africa."
Then his tone became heated.
"They will be provided with everything they need, help train them, provide them with weapons, provide them with funding.
In short, we will provide them with whatever they need, and we will shoulder the mission of liberating all mankind. ”
Although this was just a conference room, when Khrushchev finished speaking, everyone, including Brezhnev, stood up and applauded Khrushchev vigorously. Perhaps it was because of excitement. , and even slapped the table hard to show their excitement and excitement.

The meeting held in the Kremlin on this day will definitely affect the process of the Soviet Union and even the whole world.
After the meeting ended, Khrushchev returned to his office. Standing in the office, he looked at the map of Africa again. He stared at the map for a long time, and then nodded silently.
"Well, yes, that's the future."
After saying this, Khrushchev walked to his desk, where there was a report from Star City.
This was a report from Korolev. He once again pulled the report in front of him, unfolded it, and then looked at the report carefully.
The content of this report is very simple. Except for some photos, it mainly reports on the progress of the "Moon Project". The "Moon Project" was the Soviet Union's moon landing project. Compared with the United States, the Soviet Union had a higher level of exploration of the moon, from the first photo of the moon taken by "Lunar 1" to the landing of Luna 2 on the moon.
The Soviet Union has been steadily advancing the "Moon Plan", and the ultimate goal of this plan is to send humans into space.
To be precise, it was to send the Soviets to the moon before the Americans!
Put the red flag on the moon!
Although he was just looking at the report, Khrushchev was excited when he thought of such a scene. When he was excited, he thought about it, picked up the phone on the table, and made a call.
"Hey, is this Korolev? It's me, I'm Nikita!"
As in the past, when calling Korolev, Khrushchev used his first name, not his position or anything else.
Korolev said respectfully:
"Hello, Comrade Khrushchev."
"Hello, Korolev, I didn't call you to interrupt your work..."
Different from the rough image that many people imagine, Khrushchev, who had a low level of education, admired these scientists deep down, especially for great scientists like Korolev who ushered in a new era. Admiration can even be revealed in words involuntarily.
"I just read your report again. Our rocket is about to undergo its first test launch, right?"
"Yes, Comrade Khrushchev, we have conducted six successful first-stage rocket tests on the ground, and the second-stage rocket test has also been successful."
Korolev, holding the phone in his hand, emphasized:
"None of these successes would be possible without your support. It is your support that allowed us to regroup in a short period of time and finally achieve our current success!"
This is not flattery, but a fact. In fact, the early development of the Soviet Union's aerospace industry was entirely due to Khrushchev's full support. Although his purpose was to show off to the United States and the world, it was indeed to a large extent Promoted the Soviet aerospace industry.
After the failure of the first test of the N1 rocket, in the face of pressure, it was Khrushchev's full support that allowed Korolev to rebuild the rocket as soon as possible, and continued to test and improve, and then there was The ground test was successful.
Whether it was flattery or not, the praise from Korolev made Khrushchev happily say:
"Haha, Korolev, I want to know, will your launch be successful?"
"Comrade Khrushchev, you know that every time we launch, we only have a 75% chance of success, and our success rate of launching a probe to the moon is only 50%, so..."
In fact, this is already very high. If it were not for the great development of integrated circuit technology, the success rate of Soviet rocket launches would have been about 50% off. Therefore, the aerospace pioneers of this era were really fighting with their lives.
The voice on the other end of the phone made Khrushchev silent for a while, but only for a moment. He said again:
"It doesn't matter if you fail this time. I believe you will succeed soon. You know, you are Korolev!"
