(Sorry, I posted the wrong chapter yesterday. Chapter 262 is only 263. This chapter is Chapter 262, sorry.)

The estrangement and grudges are so deep that they blocked the Song Emperor and the leader of Stalin like ice. The Song Emperor did come with sincerity, hoping to contain the Soviet Union on the Chinese side, but the arrogance that Stalin showed

Emperor Song felt helpless with the hostility hidden in his heart, and the unrealistic requirement of not wanting to abide by the Sino-Soviet Armistice Treaty forever.

.

The two of them talked for a long time this day, and exchanged national governance experience and policies, discussed the international world, and some negotiations on deepening trade and strengthening technical cooperation between the two countries, but unfortunately, they did not reach too much consensus.

China is not the weak China in the past, nor the Soviet Union was in danger when the founding of the People's Republic of China. Both sides seem to have the strength to compete again, because China's strength is too strong and the threat from Nazi Germany, Stalin dared not to tear up the

Sino-Soviet Armistice Treaty.

It was only through this contact that both sides realized that the barriers were as difficult as cold icebergs to truly dissolve. If the Soviet Union did not let go of the hatred of being divided and far away from East Asia, China would not be able to truly support the Soviet Union against Europe and Nazi Germany.

The relationship between the two sides seems to be able to maintain the current situation for a long time - maintaining peace and not obvious opposition.

Now the countries that are at the forefront of the world's anti-Soviet Front are the United States and Germany. The United States contributes money and efforts from the back, and Germany is at the forefront, using this anti-Soviet policy to arm itself and expand Germany's interests. Britain once established diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, and finally,

The United States has not yet established diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. China is the only major power to establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. Although the United States interferes in this matter many times and hopes that China will stop trade and diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, China itself has a huge size that is best for Britain and the United States.

Strength is not limited by them.

Interestingly, the trade between the United States and the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union has been developing steadily, especially after the outbreak of the Great Depression, and China and the Soviet Union are formally established diplomatic relations and the only strong country to maintain a stable diplomatic policy for the Soviet Union, and bilateral trade.

The scale has been maintained in a stable development state, but in this kind of trade, the Soviet Union was a serious deficit country, and the Soviet Union also relied on exporting oil and resources to Europe for foreign exchange to make up for the trade deficit with China.

It is obvious that the first meeting between Emperor Song and Joseph Stalin was not friendly, and there was no result.

The Soviet Union originally planned to take advantage of the special opportunity of Emperor Song's visit to China to propose some urgently needed technology and equipment. Their ideas were very good, but they were basically ruined by the first meeting between the two leaders, but this could not be both.

Joseph Stalin is blamed.

Although the Soviet Union agreed to the plan of Emperor Song's sudden visit, the arrangements were still very urgent and abrupt. Joseph Stalin was also a little surprised and did not understand the true intention of Emperor Song.

The Soviet Union's international political environment was not good at this time. Many people thought that the Cold War was the most tense moment in the international world. In fact, this was not the case. Before World War II, the Soviet Union encountered even more severe international blockades. After World War II, the Soviet Union was still

It formally established diplomatic relations with Britain and the United States, but before the Great Depression ended in 1933, neither the Soviet Union nor the major powers established diplomatic relations. The two sides did not recognize each other and were strongly confrontation and hostility. Anti-Soviet was the mainstream policy of the entire international world.

After the first meeting between the two leaders was not successful and harmonious, the diplomatic officials of China and the Soviet Union did not end the dialogue and still had to make efforts for subsequent negotiations and meetings. The Soviet Union had both arrogance and special respect.

Many arrangements, such as arranging Song Biao's stay in the Great Kremlin, which was once the residence of the Tsarist palace, was something that had never happened before.

Given that the first meeting was not friendly, Joseph Stalin was also worried about affecting the entire Sino-Soviet relations. If China had become a feud with the Soviet Union, the pressure the Soviet Union would have to bear was too great, so he decided to personally serve Emperor Song and China at night.

The visiting delegation presided over the welcome ceremony of the state banquet.

After the state banquet, Song Biao returned to the bedroom and discussed secretly with Lu Zhengxiang and others to explore the other party's true intentions. Joseph Stalin was also discussing the matter with Kalinin and others.

Fortunately, Song Biao's visit to the Soviet Union was a week long, and both sides still had a lot of room for maneuver. The next day, Song Biao visited the Moscow Arsenal during the pre-arranged itinerary, and then went to the Soviet Red Army and the Soviet Central Military Academy.

visit.

The Imperial Army can be said to be mainly taught by Germany and Russia, and the Soviet Red Army also learned from China and Germany, especially the research on China's military system was relatively in-depth. After all, it was beaten miserably by the Chinese Army and Air Force back then.

Like China, the highest military academy of the Soviet Union was also named the Central Military Academy, which was predecessored by the Military Staff Academy of Tsarist Russia.

According to this in and out, Song Biao is also a representative figure of the Soviet Central Military Academy.

At the same time, Lu Zhengxiang and Kalinin met again. As a more moderate diplomatic official, the conversation between the two sides was more realistic. The Soviet Union formally proposed to purchase high-purity fuel wax and sulfur removal process equipment from China, as well as coal-based ammonia and electrolytics.

Aluminum equipment and some heavy-duty machine tools, gantry machine tools and electrical railway technology, etc., have many requirements and are willing to buy it at a high price.

Lu Zhengxiang reported the minutes of the meeting to Song Biao very nervously, but Song Biao seemed very sincere to approve all of them, but he only asked the Ministry of Commerce to continue to raise the price code in terms of price and transaction quantity.

Of course, Song Biao is sincere. If the Soviet Union forces the Soviet Union to form an alliance, the Soviet Union can still obtain these technologies from Germany. Even as long as the Soviet Union is willing to offer enough prices, it can obtain these technologies and equipment from the United States, Britain, France and other countries, even if it is not as good as China in some fields.

.

China is not at the world's leading level in these fields, but it is definitely the most comprehensive industrial power in the world and can sign a package of transaction contracts with the Soviet Union at one time.

This is the empire's largest negotiating capital.

At this time, General Secretary Joseph Stalin seemed to have felt the great kindness and sincerity of His Majesty the Emperor. That afternoon, he personally visited the Great Kremlin to visit the Emperor, hoping to hold a private secret meeting.

After confirming General Secretary Stalin's purpose of coming, Song Biao did not object and invited Stalin to have afternoon tea in the garden corridor of the Great Kremlin.

There is no friendship between the two, and they may hate each other deeply, but the interests of each other's country require them to sit down and talk to each other as friends.

The Soviet Union also imported tea, coffee, tobacco, and especially tobacco from the empire.

During his visit to the Soviet Union, Song Biao specially gave Stalin a box of special Yuxi tobacco. The two sat in the corridor. Song Biao habitually smoked cigars, while Stalin lit his iconic black pipe.

People continue to have in-depth discussions on the Great Depression of the world economy.

Stalin's view always believed that this world economic depression was an inevitable result of capitalism. Song Biao was not in a hurry to express his opinions, but had always listened to Stalin's views. Joseph Stalin also hoped that leaders of capitalist countries could listen to the Soviet Union.

He listened to his voice and told him very carefully and seriously. He stopped from time to time to see Song Biao's expression and attitude, and attached great importance to Song Biao's feedback.

Song Biao listened so seriously, thinking dialectically about Stalin's one-sided words.

After Stalin expressed his views in great detail, Song Biao dusted the ashes on the cigar, raised his legs leisurely, leaned against the soft sofa chair back, and placed a glass of iced vodka on the armrest of the sofa.

After October **, during the nationalization of the famous Russian Baoshi Vodka winery, the original family members left Russia and chose to re-establish the winery in Jiamusi, which also led to the establishment of the Baoshi Vodka winery in China.

However, the vodka in Song Biao's hand was malt vodka produced by a state-owned winery in Moscow, the Soviet Union.

Song Biao touched the transparent wine glass from time to time, felt the low temperature inside with his fingertips, and was thinking about some interesting thoughts in his mind.

After a long silence, he picked up the wine glass and sipped it gently, and then said to Stalin: "We have organized many experts to conduct systematic research and analysis on this crisis. The current mainstream view is that this world economic crisis is The source is the gold standard and the overspending of currency during World War I. When the money supply exceeds the scope required by the world economy, an economic and investment bubble will inevitably emerge, and only if there is a bubble will there be an economic crisis. The source of this economic bubble is the limitation of the gold standard. , Because only a very small number of major countries can maintain appropriate gold reserves, other countries can only absorb the currency of major countries as foreign exchange reserves, which leads to a surge in the amount of non-circulating currencies and increases the risk of major countries being run. Therefore, we think it is simple It is unrealistic to blame it as the inevitable trend of capitalism. Feudalism has developed from scratch for thousands of years, and its system has gradually improved in the ever-developing history, and so is capitalism. Today's capitalism It is still very naive and is still in a teenager. Making mistakes is always inevitable because only by making mistakes can we grow and gradually absorb education, just as my country has strengthened financial supervision more significantly and adopted measures such as macroeconomic regulation during this crisis."

Stalin said: "This judgment is too simple and rough. The essence of the problem is capitalist exploitation and capitalist greed."

Song Biao said: "There is an idiom in China that says to give up eating because of choking. It means that in ancient times, a person gave up eating because he was afraid of choking. People would get sick if they eat grains and grains, but they would starve to death because they were afraid of getting sick.

Faster. No matter which national system the Soviet Union has implemented, your currency or gold standard will be restricted as long as it is gold standard. In other words, if the Soviet Union does not implement the gold standard, Sino-Soviet trade will not be carried out. Obviously,

If you use your theory to explain, the gold standard is essentially the exploitation of states between countries. The goal of our trade with the Soviet Union is not to help the Soviet Union develop, not to develop itself, but to exploit you. This is equivalent to completely erasing it.

The friendship between China and the Soviet Union, in fact, China does not lack the Soviet Union as a trade market. In China's annual trade surplus, the Soviet Union only accounts for 5, and it is the market with the largest proportion of high-tech equipment exports to the outside world. If you decide not to let it go

We exploit, we will fully accept this decision. I emphasize this because all the Soviet media and newspapers explain this matter in this way, and position the international trade between our country and the Soviet Union as an imperial hegemony act

, If we risked the trade with the Soviet Union as an imperialist hegemony, why should we be so crazy? Do we need to exchange such good-willed materials and technology for your bad words and ridicule?"

At this moment, Stalin did not have enough trump cards to compete with Song Biao, so he could only give in: "This is our mistake in work, and the Soviet Union will definitely correct it."

Song Biao waved his hand helplessly and said, "We hope that China and the Soviet Union will develop in the direction of stability and equality, and have great sincerity, and have made a lot of efforts, and even have serious differences with Britain and the United States on this issue, even if

In this way, we will be ridiculed by the Soviet Union again, which is really sad to say. Our research and understanding of the Soviet Union is very profound. I don’t think you should go too far with some things. Did the Soviet Union deliberately promote it?

We know that you are very clear that in the Sino-Soviet Armistice Treaty, we agreed that the Soviet Union shall not send spies to China and its protected areas to engage in ** work. Have you done this? How many people have been sent to our country every year?

We know how much money, and you know more. General Secretary Stalin, let me say something unpleasant. What qualifications do you have to export institutional ideas to us? How much food can you workers eat every year and how much can we eat? What is the living standard of your farmers?

What is the living standards of our farmers? You are eliminating rich peasants, and we are supporting farmers across the country to become rich peasants. Which of the results is more obvious? You know, and we know more. You always say that the system is superior to us. Where is the superiority?"

"You said that the Soviet Union's grain output has grown rapidly in the past five years, with an average grain yield of 1,400 kilograms in the world's first level. Is there really such a growth? Or are you levied more farmers in order to use this standard? I think you know better than us that the total annual agricultural research funding of the country, society, enterprises and institutions in my country is as high as 200 million yuan. Our agricultural technology is also much ahead of you. We are on average in agricultural areas of the same latitude. What is the yield per mu? We can make a comparison. The average yield per mu of agricultural grain in the southern Siberian plains was 345 kilograms last year. It is just a fraction of the average yield of the entire Soviet Union, 1.45 billion mu of land, and a total output of 500 billion kilograms of grain. , As far as I know, the Soviet Union could not exceed this standard, unless you include beets and potatoes in this calculation range."

Song Biao complained, and Stalin looked ugly when he said it, but he didn't care. He continued to summarize: "I am a soldier from a peasant family. I became an emperor from a soldier, so I know very well about farming. I compare

You know what the situation of rich peasants is. There is an old saying among Chinese people: "Get up early and go to the dark, and be rich peasants." Only by working hard can you get rich. Judging from the per capita living standard, the Soviet Union still has a certain gap with us now, and our average monthly income of workers is

It is about 25 medium rounds, 30 kilograms of rice per month, 2 kilograms of soybean oil, 10 kilograms of meat, 30 eggs, 500 grams of milk powder and 30 kilograms of vegetables, the total price of no more than 5 medium rounds, and a worker can basically support him when he goes to work.

A family of four. The Soviet Union always said that its system is the best in the world and everyone is rich. The same is true for your propaganda to the international community. Compared with our situation, you should be very clear. So, many

We don't settle accounts with you, but it does not mean that we recognize your behavior. In fact, some of your behaviors seem very low-level, and you really underestimate the level of our country's intelligence and national security agencies. You always say the international community

The workers' movement has proved your greatness and correctness one after another, but how much money do you have to spend every year to do these things, how many farmers in China starve to death, you know better than anyone else, and I am too lazy to calculate this with you.

The account book.”

After hearing these words, Stalin's face became even more embarrassed. He didn't know where a lot of China's intelligence came from, but he really didn't want to argue with Song Biao here, as it would only make him even more cruel.

Song Biao also sighed and added: "China is very sincere in maintaining friendship and peace with the Soviet Union. Even if you have done so many unpeaceful things over the years, we have to endure them again and again. I am going to visit the Soviet Union this time

, I just hope to find an opportunity to explain the matter clearly to you. Without diamonds and not taking on porcelain work, you are not qualified and capable of using those low-level means to subvert the power of our central government. You'd better not do this, if you

I really offended all the well-intentioned countries like us who are willing to maintain cooperation with you. I think the final outcome will be more serious than you can think of. Cooperation is a good thing, and we are willing to put our efforts into it, but

I am not threatening the Soviet Union here, my patience is limited. If I continue to find that all the messy things in China are related to the Soviet Union, I will not care about how much cooperation or value you have. When signing the Sino-Soviet Armistice Treaty

Mr. Lenin and I said it very clearly that this treaty is actually the greatest guarantee for the permanent peace between the two sides. On the surface, the Soviet Union suffered a loss, but under the premise of China's strength, the Soviet Union could not own the territory of northern China, otherwise sooner or later

There will still be a tragic world war, and it will definitely be more terrifying than the previous Sino-Soviet war. Neither side wants to see this scene, so we must cherish the current peace more. In order to ensure such peace, we not only

It recognized the Soviet Union's territorial rights over the Kazakh region, and acknowledged the Soviet Union's expansion and spreadingism to Eastern Europe."

If he was the leader of other countries, facing a behemoth like the Chinese Empire and a powerful figure like Emperor Song, he would bow his head and say "You are very correct" and he could fool this matter, but Joseph Stalin is not such a person, anybody

No Russian commander can be such a person.

Since the words were so direct and unpleasant, Joseph Stalin simply reminded him directly: "Old Emperor Hua, other territorial concessions are acceptable, but we will never accept this for the Southern Siberian Plain.

Things. If you want real permanent peace, you should return this area to us."

Song Biao asked seriously: "Are you sure this is your territory? How many years have you occupied here? How many years have the Bristians and Tatars occupied, how many years have the Huns occupied, and how many years have the Mongolian Golden Tent Khan.

How many years have the Chinese era occupied? What happened to the Soviet Union occupying Ukraine and Kazakhstan?"

Stalin didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Song Biao persuaded again: "I think it's better to end this matter. China has a very serious population crisis. During the Sino-Soviet War, our total population was 450 million. Twelve years have passed.
