Chapter 839 International situation

The situation in Kazakhstan is changing. However, for a country with a population that is not as large as a demon city, many of Abisevich's ideas may be beautiful in this turbulent and chaotic world, but they cannot help themselves.

The southern railway renovation project in Kazakhstan quickly developed in a strange direction under a series of operations by Nazarbayev.

As an outstanding and successful politician, Nazarbayev is well versed in the skills of competing for the right to speak.

Just after New Year's Day, Kazakhstan's official government quickly launched a public opinion counterattack.

In response to the economic turmoil caused by the collapse of the Soviet Union, Abisevic proposed a dazzling policy.

One-tenth of the oil produced and exported by Kazakhstan will use one-tenth of the profits to match imported grains. During the same period, the international grain price took corn as an example, and the selling price was about one dollar for every fifty kilograms. That is to say, the number of tons of oil Kazakhstan needs to import as much as the tons of grain.

This disguised oil-for-food plan cleverly tied Almaty to the entire Kazakhstan with Russians.

The reason is actually very simple. Kazakhstan's oil production capacity is mainly grasped by Russians. Abishevich links food relief and welfare with oil, so any political action against Russians must face great risks.

The increase in Russian voice in Kazakhstan means that Russia's influence on Kazakhstan has increased, which has also suppressed the calls for railway renovation projects in the south.

Once the politically responsive voice is lost, then simply promoting propaganda in the media will seem a bit thin.

With the announcement of the 1993 annual budget, Abishevich issued a plan for the Southern Railway Renovation Project in accordance with the will of the people.

This plan can be said to be quite beautiful, with detailed considerations on the needs of southern railway connectivity and trying its best to allow any southern region to enjoy the convenience and improvement brought by this plan. If it can be implemented according to this plan, I believe that Kazakhstan's national strength will inevitably be greatly improved, and the economy and cohesion of the entire country will reach a great level.

However, even if this plan is very good, there is nothing wrong with it. Why should the railway line with a total length of 2,000 kilometers be prepared at least 10 billion US dollars? They can't even get the foundation of the Kazakhstan treasury.

Soon, as news of the rectification of the Almaty Daily spread, other media quickly began to change their verbal movements. Compared with the huge railway projects, oil exchange for food will undoubtedly improve the living standards of Kazakhstans who are struggling on the survival line.

In fact, many residents of Almaty do not really care about the so-called southern railway renovation project. As a country dominated by nomadic people, Almaty lives in one-tenth to one-fifth of Kazakhstan's population. After Almaty, there are thousands of settlements all of them are municipal administrative units, and the average population per unit area and land is extremely low.

Such a serious natural disaster certainly cannot fall on the heads of Almaty residents. The reason why Almaty people who have the right to speak reacted so violently to the previous reports is better to say that the whole society has found a suitable caliber of resentment caused by the long-term economic difficulties.

Is a railway that runs through the country important? Of course it is important, but it is not that important. If you really spend 10 billion US dollars to build this railway, you can lose Kazakhstan's losses. Most of the time, it is absolutely impossible to use the railway's transportation volume based on their own transportation needs.

As for reasons such as rapid response in the face of disasters and shaping national cohesion, it is a bit too ambitious.

Soon, some newspapers began to shout again, "Please slow down the railway in Kazakhstan, wait for the people's appetite!". Well, they have told them anyway. At this stage, who dares to use money to build the railway, it seems that this is the reason why the people can't afford to eat!

After the public opinion was about to do it, Abisevic finally threw out his killer move.

The government must not have the money to build the railway, but considering that the southern railway renovation project is also popular, it is better to take out the railway and bid for publicly.

Abisevich's abacus was very happy. No matter who was promoting this project behind the scenes, he had the ability to take out 10 billion US dollars of real money! In order to win over Kazakhstan, can Americans really bear such a large amount of money?

OK, if you are so generous, what does it matter if I am a dog licking for you?

As for the fact that if the Americans can't afford the money, don't blame me for going to join Russia.

But facing the charming eyes that Abisevic threw from time to time, Xiao Bush, the head of Sevron in Kazakhstan, could only inexplicably ask from the bottom of his heart: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Just as Abisevich was waiting for the Americans to respond with pride, the international situation changed drastically.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union after 1991, Russia's Caucasus region has fallen into a continuous turmoil. After armed overthrow of the local Russian regime, Dudaev was elected president of the Chechen Republic in parliamentary elections. By the end of 1991, the Chechen Republic declared its official independence and formed a large-scale formal armed force.

By early 1992, the Ingush region in western Chechnya separated from Chechnya and announced its participation in Russia.

Against this background, the political situation in the Russian Federation suddenly became confusing.

It is impossible not to leave the Ingush region. People bring their own dry food to join us. If the Khitans still want to do the president, they will not be able to send out the ducks they have obtained.

And Chechnya's geographical location is so important!

The Caucasus region is between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. To the south are Georgia and Azerbaijan, and to the north are the essence of Russia's Volga River Basin. This is not only Russia's main oil-producing area, but also the main petrochemical industrial area, but also an important grain-producing area and a mineral area, with a large number of machinery manufacturing and metal processing industries.

Including the famous Gorky automobile factory, Volgograd tractor factory, Red October Metallurgical Factory, Volgograd cc company, barricade factory...

Just from these factory names with distinct era and regional characteristics, you can know what kind of history and status these factories have, and even the scenes of the Stalingrad defense battle can appear before your eyes.

Therefore, once the Caucasus region is turbulent, the most direct impact is that oil production and exports in the Volga Basin are threatened. This is not adding insult to the entire Russian economy at all, but immediately feels the frozen bone marrow like the arrival of the Siberian cold wave.

Originally, the time for Chechen independence was not freed, and Dudaev was speechless from armed independence to elections. However, the separation and return of the Ingush region put the Russian Federation on fire.

The original strategy of "invisible" failed, and the issue of Chechen independence was on the surface.

Starting from mid-1992, the Russian Federation and the Chechen armed forces started lasting and arduous negotiations.

In the original history, Russia's bad situation after the collapse of the Soviet Union led to the Khitans being left alone with Chechnya. In the negotiations, not only did they simply compromise with Dudaev, but they could even be said to be aiding the evil.

Not only did they recognize Chechnya's independence, but they also had to pay Dudaev a pension. The Chechens not only had their own passports, but also had advanced equipment given by the Russians, including the most advanced T-80 tanks of the Soviet army.

It can be said that Chechnya got a sure win at the beginning.

However.

This place is slightly different from the past history. The biggest difference is that the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has not yet died!

Chechnya's good abacus is that it is independent in fact, but it is nominally retained the identity of a Russian Federation republic.

Unfortunately, this example is difficult to drive after all. Chechnya is just as big as the imperial capital, so I gritted my teeth and temporarily admitted the status quo.

But on the other hand, although the Communist Party of the Soviet Union suffered heavy losses in 1991, it was transferred to the Far East in an established manner, and now it has obviously gained its foothold. If the Russian Federation dares to sign the treaty for Chechnya to withdraw its troops, it is likely that it will not only Chechnya, but also the Far Eastern Republic is a franchise republic!

If you Russia dare not even fight Chechnya, do you dare to fight the Far East? If the loss of Chechnya is just the situation, then losing the Far East will inevitably lead to the Russian Federation losing its ruling legal basis. The Russians may be able to accept losing Chechnya, but they will never be indifferent to losing the Far East.

The existence of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union made Russia feel like a thorn in its throat, and even if it wanted to compromise, there was no room for compromise. The Khitans dared to bombard the White House in their original history because Russia did not have its competitors at that time, and no matter how bad it was, it would not be driven out of the position of president.

But now the Soviet Communist Party is eyeing the Far East. If the Khitans and the Russian Federation are not as good as the Soviet Union, the Moscows can bring him back as it is.

Even though things have not yet reached this point, Shening has published more than a dozen articles in the newspapers, criticizing the fact that Yeltsin's weakness in Chechnya led to the infringement of Russia's sovereignty and national interests being threatened.

The situation developed to the beginning of 1993. As internal news of Russia's negotiations with Chechnya was constantly disclosed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the Khitans and the new Russian Federation were forced into a corner and there was no room for revolt.

Under the pressure of the Soviet Communist Party, the Khitans had to withdraw Lieutenant General Strogov who was negotiating with Dudaev and announced the breakdown of the negotiations with Chechnya.
