The Sino-Russian negotiations ended without any suspense. At the moment they ended, Li Changgeng received a telegram from Harbin, saying that Li Changgeng's eldest son was born.

Li Changgeng excitedly read the telegram in front of the Russian negotiating delegation. The group of Russian bosses who were so poor that they could show off and give gifts to congratulate him. Lenin searched all his body and only took out a pocket watch. The pen on his body had been scrapped off by Li Changgeng and left it in this signature hall to become part of the souvenir. Lenin endured the pain and handed over the pocket watch given to him by the German Emperor to Li Changgeng as a gift!

After seeing off the Russian delegation, Li Changgeng held a small retreat to discuss the gains and losses of this negotiation and standardize the future military and political development and construction ideas of Northern Xinjiang Province.

Sun Liechen and Li Changgeng have a close relationship. Li Changgeng also attaches great importance to Sun Liechen's character and ability. On such occasions, Sun Liechen can say something that others dare not ask: "Commander-in-Chief, why do we give the Russians so much benefit? Judging from the current situation, even if we don't give Russia so many benefits, we can still sign a border treaty. But this is good, there is no need to put so many troops on the border to guard against Russia!"

"Zan Yao's question is probably what you want to ask?" Li Changgeng glanced at the attendees and smiled, and then said, "You guys, you still don't see far enough. There are too many soldiers at the moment. First, Russia now has to rely on our aid, and second, Russia is now in revolution and has no strength to fight a big battle with us within ten years!

There is a saying in the Declaration of Independence that I agree with it, that is, we have no friends in the United States but only interests. In my understanding, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. This is just like our enemies with Red Russia yesterday, but today we have become friends with eternal friendship. Who can ensure that we cannot become the enemy of life and death tomorrow!

In the next three to five years, we must do our best to do two major events. First, we must unify the country, and second, we must further develop and improve the industrial system in the Northeast. In recent years, we have not been able to look to Russia, so we must stabilize Russia so that they cannot drag their feet when we unify the country. Second, we must let Russia share some of the expenses we spend to improve the industrial system.

When we complete these two major events, we must look back and do our best to prevent the Soviet Union. I believe that by that time, the Soviet Union will definitely grow into a war beast. You must ask, why do we still need to help the Soviet Union?

Because there are two countries in this world who want to raise the monster of Soviet Russia, one is the United States, the world's number one power, and the other is Germany, which lost all its assets in one battle. Don't underestimate Germany, which lost all its assets. In a word, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. With the will of these two powerful countries, it is difficult for the Soviet Union to become stronger. We just use this opportunity to share some benefits. In fact, we are also hiding evil intentions for helping Russia. Who can tell me about it?"

Yang Du has the highest civil service among this group of people, so he naturally wants him to start. He thought about it but had no idea. "Commander-in-Chief, let me guess, is it that we are consuming the Russians' social wealth?"

"What else? Can Xiangyu say it too!"

Zhou Xiangyu didn't expect that a fight for a drink made him pay attention to the top leaders of Northeast China, which made him a little depressed. Fortunately, the strong man always has a strong man's heart, "I can't think of a commander-in-chief, and try to answer it. Could it be because we only help the Russians produce the coal and iron industry!"

"Is there any?" Li Changgeng smiled and continued, "Haha, since there is no, I will talk about it in detail, so that you can think about this kind of thing in the future. Xizi and Xiangyu both said it a little right, but it is not the key. Let me talk about it a little right first.

Let’s talk about the issue of consuming Russian wealth first. Russia is now practicing communism, which means it wants to eliminate the existence of currency internally. Although it can do this with power internally, it cannot be externally. If a country has no currency, it will cause a big trouble in international trade! What trouble?

That is, the currency issued by Russia has no international recognition, that is, it cannot buy anything. However, foreign trade is not possible, so there are only three forms of transactions. The first is barter, the second is gold and silver currency, and the third is foreign exchange. Such foreign trade has no exchange rate influence and will inevitably suffer a great loss.

If the Russians want to buy our industrial equipment, they can only trade in these three forms. If we want that form of transaction, the Russians have to use that form. The initiative lies with us, and the Russians have no choice! If they use our factory drawings, they have to buy our equipment. The wealth produced by Russian society is limited. The more they trade with us, the less transactions they trade with the United States and Germany. Invisibly, Russia's social wealth will be transferred to our hands!

Although Xiangyu is not comprehensive, his idea is correct. We are just promising to provide Russia with the coal and iron industry. When the Russians taste the sweetness, they will want to get more. This is just like raising a dog. Do you say whether to feed the dog to you and listen to you by mouth or if you feed it enough food at once. I think it is definitely the former. Once we feed the Russians too much, it will be difficult to control them.

Of course this is not the key. I said Xiang Yu was right to think along this line. Industry, especially heavy industry, is built up one by one, and it is accumulated from a screw. Our approach is actually to cultivate Russian industry into a lame industry. They can build the most advanced aircraft, cannons, tanks, and cars, but they cannot build the most qualified screws. It seems that the industry is both advanced in scale and is far from powerful enough. The root cause is to understand the industrial system, only knowing the truth but not the reason.

It is very difficult to make up for this most basic lesson. You think that there are principles of automobile engines in the book, but who can make a qualified automobile engine according to the requirements in the book? Maybe Russia can make it with the whole country, but it will take at least three or five years to produce a basic standard screw in batches. First of all, what is the strength of the engine for screw metal? If the strength is high, the screws will easily break, and if the strength is small, the fastening requirements cannot be met. There is no shortcut to copy this path!

This is just a small aspect, such as what kind of metal is used in the engine case, what kind of transmission design is used, how the engine can enhance the sealing performance, and after they have figured out the current engine principles in ten years, they can also produce them themselves. Our new generation of engines are released again. At first glance, the Russian industry is all imitating us, and the difference is only one step away. If you want to catch up with this step, that is the natural barrier!" Everyone listened to Li Changgeng's statements, but none of them felt bored. The smarter the person was, the more air conditioning he felt behind his back.

Yang Du asked carefully: "Don't the Russians choose to start from basic industries from the beginning?"

"Xizi, if you were Lenin, what would you choose?"

Yang Du was silent for a long time and sweated, before he could put on a sentence: "No choice!"

Li Changgeng smiled and said, "Yes, there is no choice! This is just one, and there is another!"
