Chapter 844 Novice Assistant
After the civil war, Andre returned to the Far East and continued to guard George's base camp. He was George's most trusted person.
Russia is a land-based country. George needs a trustworthy person to command the Russian army, and Andre is the most suitable candidate.
Vasily's political capital was not enough to confront Mannerheim.
However, Vasily got help from little Felix, and it is still unclear who will win.
Vasily also hoped to get help from Leonid. Leonid did not make his own decisions and took the initiative to seek George's advice.
"Do you want to enter politics?"
George suddenly remembered that he almost never talked about ideals with Leonid.
The male leads the outside and the female leads the home. George rarely interferes in the children's education, so the relationship between George and the children is far less harmonious than the relationship between Anne and the children.
Although George didn't want to admit it, George cared most about his eldest son Polis, and paid less attention to Leonid.
"I don't know either. Sasha suggested that I try more, at least to know if I am suitable."
Leonid looked a little unsure.
This is also normal. With George, Polis, and Alexander's pearls in front, Leonid is under great pressure.
Although George is not involved in politics, his ability in government affairs is obvious to all, otherwise Amul would not be able to develop to the extent it is today.
In Adrianople, there were very loud calls for Polis to be crowned "Tsar", which fully demonstrated the support of the Yugoslavs for Polis.
Alexander was tepid and became a blockbuster in the process of Australian independence. The strength of the Grand Duchy of Yuriev was also outstanding in Southeast Asia, dwarfing the colonies of other countries.
The situation in Southeast Asia is very complicated. Britain, the United States, and France all have colonies, and with the addition of the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, it is simply a hodgepodge.
The Anglo-American law still implemented a single colonial economic system, treating the colonies only as raw material production areas and commodity dumping sites.
The output of natural rubber and palm oil in the Grand Duchy of Yuriev ranks among the top in the world, and it is also the only oil producer in Asia. In recent years, the Grand Duchy of Yuriev has begun to make efforts in the field of medicine, with remarkable results.
The environment in the Grand Duchy of Yuriev is very suitable for the growth of medicinal materials. After the fall of the Qing Empire, civil wars became frequent and the supply of medicinal materials to the Siberian Medical Group was affected. Therefore, part of the medicinal material planting base was relocated from the Qing Empire to the Grand Duchy of Yuriev.
On this basis, the Grand Duchy of Yuriev increased its support for the cultivation of medicinal materials, so the Siberian Medical Group moved part of its research institutes and factories to Coconut City to achieve mutual success.
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Yuriev Grand Duchy were almost established on ruins, and it was easy to achieve results.
It would be extremely difficult to achieve the same achievements in Russia as Yugoslavia and the Grand Duchy of Yuriev.
"Then try bravely and don't leave any regrets to yourself."
George supports Leonid in pursuing his dreams. No matter what, Leonid will at least not make financial mistakes.
The reason why Felix was unwilling to take the special plane provided by the Russian government was because the special plane provided by the Russian government was far less comfortable than Felix's own plane.
As for the yacht——
Sorry, the Russian government is not extravagant enough to provide the president with a yacht.
The same goes for Leonid. If he enters politics, he can at least save Russia some security costs.
Anne still attached great importance to the safety of her children. Even Alexandra, who spent most of her time in the military, was surrounded by a guard composed entirely of women.
Leonid's guards are all composed of veterans. They are not only of excellent personal quality, but also well-equipped, on par with the presidential guard.
There is no need to give in too much here, and it is somewhat modest and low-key.
With the support of Leonid and Little Felix, Vasily won very easily.
Vasily was still reliable and did not rashly place Leonid in a position where it was easier to achieve results. Instead, he asked Leonid to go to culture, education and health.
Guderian, the old minister in charge of culture, education and health, is nearly 70 years old and is about to retire.
The Ministry of Education and Health is also about to be split to become more professional.
The first problem Leonid faced was national integration.
Russia is a multi-ethnic country. Although Slavs are the majority, there are also many other ethnic groups, especially the Amur. In recent years, the dominant position of the Slavs has been in jeopardy, causing increasing controversy.
When George first arrived in Amur, he introduced a large number of immigrants in order to rapidly increase the population of Amur. In order to allow the new immigrants to take root in Amur, he also focused on popularizing supporting facilities in Amur. This not only effectively promoted the development of Amur, but also laid the foundation for today's public opinion. Hidden danger.
Amur originally had only two groups, the Cossacks and East Asian immigrants.
Compared with the Cossacks who advocate martial arts, East Asian immigrants are more talented in learning. This has led to the fact that most of the high-skilled and high-paying jobs in Amur are occupied by East Asian immigrants, and the social status of the Cossacks has been declining year by year.
What needs to be explained here is that Slavs are different from Cossacks. Slavs are also very good at learning, especially in mathematics and medicine. Slavs are extremely talented.
It is precisely because of the Slavs' talent in learning that the Cossacks are gradually being marginalized, which has not caused a wider impact.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on East Asians being too learned. Not only in Amur, Cossacks are being marginalized throughout Russia.
Many Cossacks still retain the traditions of the Russian Empire. They have received military training since childhood and are always waiting for the call of the "Tsar".
The problem is that even within the army, with the development of science and technology, the technical content of weapons and equipment is getting higher and higher, and the traditional Cossacks are becoming less and less adaptable.
In the Russian Army during the Imperial era, more than half were cavalry. George's current official military rank is still "Cavalry Marshal" with Imperial Russian characteristics.
In the current Russian army, the proportion of cavalry is getting lower and lower, accounting for less than 20%.
Even this 20%, there is still a large part of "dragoons" who only use war horses as transportation. Traditional cavalry is being replaced by armored units.
Russia's latest Type 26 armored fighting vehicle has four crew members: the commander, driver, gunner, and loader. The riding skills that the Cossacks are good at are of no use at all.
So in recent years, there have been repeated voices that the Cossacks are being abandoned by Russia.
In times of peace, the Cossacks really had no use.
Once the war broke out and Russia began to invade, the Cossacks were still Russia's sharpest spears.
In order to appease the Cossacks, the Russian government has also made many efforts. For example, the profession of "hunter" can only be practiced by Cossacks.
Russia is too big, and Siberia has been developed for so long. It is still full of uninhabited virgin forests and there are many wild animals. Hunters are a very attractive and "lucrative" profession.
Many Cossacks during the Russian Empire made a living by hunting. The Russian government further stipulated that only Cossacks were eligible to apply for a hunter's license, and others could only fight back when attacked by wild animals.
Even so, compared with those jobs where you can easily earn high salaries while sitting in an office with the air conditioner blowing on, the appeal of the hunter profession is no longer that strong.
Leonid's official title was Assistant to the Minister.
Since Guderian was about to retire, the actual work was directed by Leonid.
"Every one of us has achieved today's status and income after studying hard in the cold window. When they were riding horses to play in the countryside, we were studying in the library; when they were pursuing girls with flowers, we were studying in the library. Thinking hard about homework; when While they were soundly sleeping, the lights were still on in our study. If you like to pull a sled, you would pull the sled uphill first. If you don’t exert any effort, you won’t even be able to catch the small fish in the pond.” At the meeting, Leonid’s speech did not resonate with the participants.
Those who are qualified to participate in such meetings are elites. Everyone understands these simple principles. This level alone is not enough to convince the public.
"Our responsibility is to make these simple truths deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that those who blame their misfortunes on social factors understand that no one in this world owes them, and life is not as simple as walking through the fields."
Leonid was not satisfied with the work attitude of some people.
Russia is similar to other places. If you do more, you will make more mistakes. If you don’t do it, it’s better, so it’s better not to do it.
Leonid's attitude was that if he grabbed the reins, don't say he had no strength.
Just do it to the end.
"We must always be wary of enemy attacks, whether external or internal, and especially be wary of those yin and yang guys. The fortress can only be breached from the inside. We must always keep in mind the lessons of the empire's demise."
Leonid just blew the wind and did not make any drastic changes right away.
After the meeting, Leonid's secretary Julian sent a stack of documents that Leonid needed to process.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Julian is Leonid's good friend at Amur University. He is of Chinese origin, and Julian is his Russian name.
"So many?"
Leonid was surprised, he was just an assistant.
"This is just a part. You need to add processing opinions to each piece before submitting it to the minister——"
Julian smiled, power is not so easy to hold.
The first one Leonid opened was an application for adding a radio station.
After the civil war, in order to increase its control over public opinion, the Russian government only retained two newspapers in the country and banned all the rest.
Having only two newspapers is certainly convenient for controlling public opinion, but it is very detrimental to news dissemination. Therefore, there have always been calls for more newspapers and magazines, and Russia has indeed added some newspapers and magazines to meet social needs.
These newly added newspapers and magazines are also of official background.
Russia now not only has radio stations, but also television stations, so the trend has shifted from newspapers and magazines to radio stations in the past two years.
"What do you think?"
Leonid listened and understood.
"Judging from the trend, it is the general trend to gradually loosen the control of public opinion. We cannot go against the trend, nor should we ignore the voice of public opinion; but how to ensure the control of public opinion after we loosen it still requires us to study."
Julian was honest, leaving aside what was wrong, this was indeed Julian’s opinion.
Leonid pondered and did not write immediately.
The demise of Imperial Russia had a lot to do with the relaxed public opinion environment at that time. This thing was like a Pandora's box. As long as it was let go, everything in Russia would be tested by public opinion.
Russia is not perfect, and no country is perfect.
I am afraid that some intersex people will only focus on the dark side of Russia and insist on it, so that the Russian government will become passive.
For example, Cossacks——
For example, Hebrew——
Another example is the Balkans——
In order to ensure its control over the Balkans, Russia will take the initiative to make concessions when conducting trade with the Balkan countries. Even if it suffers a slight loss, it does not matter as long as it is beneficial to Russia as a whole.
In the eyes of some yin and yang people, this is evidence that the Russian government is cheating on others. At best, it is a transfer of benefits, and at worst, it is preferring to work with foreigners rather than domestic slaves.
As for the importance of the Balkans to Russia, there is certainly not a word mentioned.
In fact, there are already some signs.
After the economic crisis broke out, a large number of European immigrants poured into Russia, including well-known lawyers from the UK and so-called "columnists" who graduated from prestigious schools.
The British are very good at packaging. Oxford and Cambridge have thousands of years of history. The Russian Grand Duchy has not yet appeared, but the British have already begun higher education.
However, the UK has done little to promote modern science and technology. It can only talk about basic subjects, which is very strange.
Although Britain's science and technology is not very good, its liberal arts education is outstanding, especially the legal profession, which has made great contributions to British politics.
If you look at what British politics is like, you will know the quality of British education.
The Russian government also has a headache for these so-called "highly qualified talents" who have immigrated to Russia.
Shutting them out would not only have a huge impact, but would also not be in line with Russia's original intention of introducing talents.
It can be introduced while pinching the nose, but it will not have the positive effect it should have on the development of Russia.
It still has some effect in boosting GDP. After all, lawyers charge high fees.
At best, it can also promote the rule of law in Russia.
But it has no effect on scientific and technological progress.
As for "columnists", compared with lawyers who are more or less useful, this one is even more useless.
There is nothing better than writing with Russians.
Although Britain has Wilde and Shakespeare, Russia also has Pushkin and Tolstoy, and their literary attainments are not bad at all.
These "columnists" from the UK are fine if they just write columns honestly. The key is that they are very good at bringing in private goods, and they are so proficient in all kinds of subversion techniques that they are hard to detect.
Therefore, compared with introducing Britain's "advanced" culture, Leonid still hopes to support Russia's own culture.
At least Russians will not be acclimatized when accepting their own culture.
Not to mention rebelling against Tiangang.
Leonid turned the document directly to the last page and remembered the applicant's name: Alexander Yurievich.
Farmer's son!
For some reason, Leonid felt particularly ironic when he saw the name "Yurievich".
