Chapter 843 Every other line is like every other line
George has worked hard for 30 years, but he still has not completely changed the barbarism of some Russians in their civilized appearance.
The good news is that as time goes by, more and more Russians are receiving modern education. Many Russian cities, such as Vladivostok and Alexandria, have developed into models of modern cities. However, in the vast rural areas, the attitudes of many workers remain Very abrasive and severely impatient even with the Russians.
Guchkov's work is still very efficient. With the arrival of a large amount of relief food in the disaster area, significant progress has been made in the investigation of the disaster.
However, when he got the report submitted by the Ministry of Interior, George couldn't help but have a headache.
In the North Caucasus Krai, where the situation is most serious, the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrested Goblinsky and Litman, the heads of the Vishskaya district.
Both men were veterans of the last world war.
After the civil war, Russia carried out major disarmament. In order to strengthen its control over the countryside, Russia placed a large number of veterans to work in the countryside, and achieved very good results.
These veterans really don't know how to manage the countryside in a civilized way. Their only advantage is their loyalty and they will carry out orders to the letter.
Based on this premise, Goblinsky and Litman completed the task of collecting food, but also caused a serious food shortage in the Vishskaya District.
As the investigation progressed, more problems were uncovered.
During the interrogation by the Ministry of the Interior, Goblinsky and Litman argued that the tasks set by the border region were too stringent and far exceeded the local capacity, so the staff had to complete them in "unconventional ways." Food collection mission.
The Ministry of Interior continued its investigation and arrested four assessment personnel.
These four evaluators were ordered to verify the grain output in Vishskaya District last winter to determine this year's grain collection standards.
These four people did conduct on-site inspections, but they only inspected state-owned farms in Vishskaya District and did not conduct a comprehensive assessment of all villages.
Russian state farms and homesteaders are two completely different systems.
The state-owned farms are strong and efficient, using a large amount of agricultural machinery and fertilizers. The wheat is growing well. The evaluators determined that the output of winter wheat per mu is not less than 10 quintals. Based on this, the grain collection standard for the entire Vishskaya District was determined as 57,000 tons.
After the wheat harvest, the state-owned farms in Vishskaya District not only successfully completed the grain collection task, but also had excess wheat for sale after removing the rations.
After selling excess wheat, the state-owned farm in Vishskaya District purchased four more tractors, and wheat production will continue to increase next year.
In stark contrast to the state-owned farms, due to insufficient pasture production last winter, the number of cattle in Vishskaya District continued to decrease. More than 600 cattle and 500 horses died throughout the winter. At the same time, due to snowstorms, the entire Vishskaya District There are about 15,000 acres of winter wheat harvest in the district.
“The evaluators only conducted the evaluation for one month, which was not enough to visit all the farms in the Vishskaya District, so after inspecting the state-owned farms, they reduced the output per mu of the state-owned farms by 3%. 10. The total amount of grain requisition was finally determined. ”
Makarov added that the evaluators did not appear to be responsible either.
So who is responsible?
The Interior Ministry concluded that Goblinsky and Litman, who had done their jobs conscientiously, should not be punished.
George felt that the person who wrote the report had restrained himself. After reading the entire report, George felt that not only should Goblinsky and Litman not be punished, but they should also be commended, otherwise no one would work honestly in the future.
Even if there is, they will bargain.
If you look at it this way, the evaluators are not at fault. After all, when they set the standard, they reduced it by 30% based on state-owned farms and fully considered local conditions.
But are those who starve to death, and those who are hung from the ceiling and tortured, wrong?
In his previous life, George read history and never understood why the bearded man had to carry out a major cleaning.
Now it seems that in addition to cleaning up the Hebrews who have infiltrated the Russian government and the army at all levels, we also need to clean up these old diehards who refuse to admit their mistakes.
"Since the disaster was discovered last winter, why didn't we make timely adjustments?"
George hated both the callousness of Goblinsky and Litman and the dogmatism of the evaluators.
Goblinsky and Litman found that the standards were far beyond the local capacity, and they could respond to higher-level departments instead of being tortured and complete the task no matter what.
The evaluators only inspected state-owned farms. No matter how they whitewash it, they cannot escape the suspicion of being "lazy".
The local officials in charge are also responsible. They disregard the life and death of the people for the sake of political achievements and disregard human life. This is a very clear Russian tradition.
Think about those soldiers who go on and on without fear of death. This is not only brave and fearless heroism, but also lacks reverence for life.
Makarov was speechless. The world was not black and white, and it was not someone's responsibility that something like this happened.
What caught George even more unprepared was that the famine in the areas around Kiev had attracted international attention and was not only ridiculed by the British, but also controversial for the Russian government.
We cannot blame the British for adding insult to injury.
Russia has been in the spotlight in recent years, and its endless welfare and security policies have troubled governments around the world and triggered widespread controversy among people in various countries.
It is an interesting fact that many British and French people are still unwilling to admit that what is reported in the newspapers is true, thinking that Russia is conducting false propaganda.
This is understandable, after all, the truly capable people have either immigrated to Russia, or at least have the ability to visit Russia.
Those who neither have the ability to immigrate to Russia nor travel to Russia can only comfort themselves in this way.
The British report on this incident was seriously inaccurate. Even the Russian government had not counted how many people died. The Times couldn't wait to claim that more than 100,000 people died in the area around Kiev alone.
After two reprints, this number soon became 500,000.
Stimson, who was visiting Russia, pretended to ask Guchkov if he needed help from the United States after reading the Times report.
Guchkov was not angry and simply sent the Stimson gift out of the country so that the Americans would not be an eyesore.
When Stimson returned to the United States, he paid a visit to Berlin.
I don’t know what Stimson and Mustache talked about. The next day, Stimson and Mustache held a joint press conference. Not only did they put aside their past feud, but they also wanted to cooperate more closely.
Carl Jr. came to George to explain that it was the United States that took the initiative to lift tariffs on German imported goods. Germany only responded symbolically and did not lift its ban on American goods.
George couldn't care about Karl at the moment, and Guchkov was facing a serious crisis of trust.
Since the end of the world war, the news that Russians read in newspapers every day is win win win. Today they accept Australia as their little brother, tomorrow Mannerheim goes to the Kingdom of Romania and Yugoslavia as an "angel" to mediate, and the day after tomorrow Andrei He denounced Britain and France in the League of Nations.
Suddenly, newspapers began reporting on people starving to death around Kiev, and the memory of the dead began to attack Russians.
The last time someone starved to death in Russia was during the civil war. At that time, the second government imposed exorbitant taxes in order to raise military rations, resulting in widespread food shortages among the people and the outbreak of severe famine.
Since the end of the civil war, there has been no tragedy of starvation to death in Russia.
Even among the new immigrants who had just arrived in the bitter cold of Siberia, no one starved to death.
As soon as news of the famine broke out around Kiev, there were calls for Guchkov to take responsibility and step down immediately.
Guchkov promised to resign after the situation calmed down, and public opinion temporarily calmed down.
In December, calls for Guchkov to step down revived. Guchkov had no choice but to submit his resignation to the Duma.
The Duma decided to hold general elections in January next year.
When Guchkov came to find George, Felix happened to be there too.
"Great! From now on, we are a fishing trio." Felix warmly welcomed Guchkov's joining.
"Now I can finally understand why you retreated from the rapids——"
Guchkov looked a little lonely.
"It was because someone didn't want to be the czar, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here fishing!"
Felix aimed his gun at George.
If the Tsar is still there, then the Tsar must be the first person responsible.
“Do you want to run for office again?”
George encourages Felix to come back.
"I don't want to!"
Felix is enjoying his life now.
What's so good about being president? There are endless meetings, never-ending official documents, and intrigues with different people every day. The key is that it's thankless and you can never satisfy everyone.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Backed by the wealth accumulated by the Yusupov family for hundreds of years, Felix can enjoy life unscrupulously after stepping down, and no longer has to worry about the criticism of others.
In the past, when Felix was on stage, even if he used the Yusupov family's cruise ship at his own expense, he would be questioned about extravagance and waste.
Now if Felix wants to buy a new cruise ship, he can buy a new cruise ship. If he wants to fly, he can just build an airport. Not only does the newspaper no longer attack Felix, but it praises Felix's consumption, which has provided many Russians with a rare high income. jobs.
The Yusupov family's cruise ship alone has hundreds of staff members, whose only task is to provide services to members of the Yusupov family at any time.
It is impossible for the Yusupov family to go to sea every day, so while the cruise ship staff receive high salaries, they spend most of their time enjoying various entertainment and leisure facilities on the cruise ship for free in the name of maintenance.
“I originally wanted to use five to ten years to completely break the old order and strive for greater living space for Russia——”
Guchkov's mistake was that he only focused on the grand narrative and ignored the concern for ordinary people.
"This is not a task that our generation can accomplish."
Felix is self-aware, and Britain and France did not establish the current international system in one generation.
Guchkov looked at George, and he remembered that George said yes.
"If you just strive for a larger living space, you have already done it."
George was generally satisfied with Guchkov's work.
In the past few years under Guchkov's administration, Russia has not only made significant progress in the Far East, but also opened up new opportunities in Africa. More and more Africans have awakened and devoted themselves to the anti-colonial war, with remarkable results.
The international situation Russia faces now is completely different from when George was reborn.
"I hope that when Russians think of me in the future, they will not only think of the famine in Kiev——"
Guchkov was dissatisfied.
What George didn't expect was that someone was not afraid of the challenge, and Vasily came to George for the January election.
"Why?"
George also didn’t know why Vasily was running for office.
If Vasily wants to run for office, he must first retire from the army before he can run.
"Alexander and Felix are too conservative, have no ambition at all, never take the initiative, and cannot lead Russia to a higher peak!"
Vasily had great ambitions.
George frowned. Vasily did have ambition, but he did not necessarily have the ability to match his ambition.
As a soldier, Vasily was basically qualified.
But it does not mean that Vasily can become a qualified politician. Don’t forget that there is a barrier between lines.
George couldn't directly attack Vasily's enthusiasm, as that would hurt Vasily's self-esteem.
"If you are willing to run for election, I can stay in Constantinople honestly, but look at Karl, can he lead Russia to the top?"
Vasily was equally dissatisfied with Mannerheim.
Mannerheim was the Duma's preferred candidate.
"At least Karl has more experience in diplomacy."
George had no problem with Mannerheim.
Don't look at Mannerheim in this time and space. He is very stubborn and doesn't have many opportunities to perform.
In another time and space, Mannerheim was the founding father of Finland. He not only withstood the pressure of Mustache, but also made Red Russia disgraced. Objectively, Mustache thought he had seen through Red Russia's strength, and took the risk to launch an attack on Red Russia.
From this point of view, Finland under the leadership of Mannerheim directly changed the direction of World War II.
"Diplomats are only quarrelsome guys and can only show their strength at the negotiating table; Russia is not good at quarreling, and we prefer to take action directly."
Vasily is an action man and is indeed very suitable for Russia.
Let Russia play tricks on others, and if they are sold, they may have to help others pay.
"You can't solve problems through violence alone, most disputes are resolved peacefully."
Qiao Zhe became worried.
"The dispute cannot be completely resolved by peaceful means alone. Why didn't you accept the proposal of the interim government in the first place?"
It is rare for Vasily to actually know how to attack the opponent's shield with his spear.
When the Empire was just overthrown, the provisional government really wanted to negotiate with George.
It was not that George didn't talk about it. The red line drawn was the safety of Nikolai's family. In the end, because the whereabouts of Nikolai's family were unknown, George was completely forced to rebel.
"Okay, is there a successor you recommend?"
George asked Vasily for his opinion.
"Andre is on the train."
Vasily recommended a candidate that George could not refuse.
