In fact, the Soviet Union is not that poor. The Tsarist Empire is not just a boast. The Soviet Union, which inherited the Tsarist Empire, naturally has a lot of wealth. Coupled with various properties confiscated from noble families, it is enough for the Soviet Union to make a fortune.

Pen.

However, the Soviet Union did not develop as comprehensively and rapidly as in history. The establishment of the National Defense Forces snatched away most of the investment that should have been in the Soviet Union. This made the industrialization development of the Soviet Union not as smooth as it had been in history.

You know, in history, within 12 years from 1926 to 1938, the Soviet Union completed industrialization and transformed from an agricultural country into an industrial country.

As of 1937, the Soviet Union produced 14.5 million tons of pig iron, 17.7 million tons of steel, 13 million tons of steel, 128 million tons of coal, a total power generation of 36.2 billion kWh, and a total industrial output value of 95.1 billion rubles, accounting for 10% of the total industrial and agricultural output value.

More than 77%.

This is definitely a national miracle, but what is helpless is that the Far Eastern Tigers suddenly appeared in this time and space! The National Defense Force was established in one fell swoop, causing most of the capital that was originally inclined to the Soviet Union to shift to the three eastern provinces overnight!

What set off the rapid development of the three eastern provinces was the faltering pace of the Soviet Union. So even if Stalin tried his best, he could only barely complete half of the various outputs going back.

This is also helpless. Compared with the Soviet Union, the British and American countries feel that Manchuria is not a red tide in any case?! And from the standpoint of not wanting the red tide to submerge themselves, they also hope that Manchuria can resist the Soviet Union.

Therefore, those capitals that were originally leaning towards the Soviet Union began to tilt towards Manchuria. Especially after the mining rights of various minerals were liberalized, the investment funds became even larger!

Various industrial facilities have also fully kept up, such as the Morgan family's U.S. Steel Company and the Northeastern Provinces Steel Co., Ltd., a partnership between the governments of the three northeastern provinces.

The four blast furnaces they built in Manchuria with a daily output of 300 tons have been completed and put into operation. They are currently inspecting the mineral resources along the Manchuria-Mongolia railway and preparing to build two to three more blast furnaces!

The Manchuria-Mongolia Railway was fully completed and opened to traffic in 1934. A lot of help came from the herdsmen from Inner Mongolia who came to help voluntarily because of the fame of the Erdeni Living Buddha and the Tigers Who Killed Thousands of Army Tigers.

Of course, they themselves also benefited. Not to mention the wages paid to them by the National Defense Forces, they were overjoyed just by the various products purchased by the merchants and the cheap supplies flowing from the three eastern provinces due to convenient transportation!

These simple herdsmen just think that Erdeni Living Buddha is right! General Tiger is indeed Manjusri sent by God! Look at his arrival, not only did he not increase our taxes, but he also made money!

This is the hard truth to make money. It is better than any empty talk! In addition to the words of Erdeni Living Buddha, Tu Qianjun himself now doesn't know that his reputation on the grassland is absolutely resounding!

This is also the place where pictures of Tu Qianjun are worshiped as Buddha statues outside the three eastern provinces.

Since the three northeastern provinces had snatched away various opportunities from the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union did not have a huge explosion like in history. The capital from Britain, the United States, and France did not flow to the Soviet Union as it had in history, but to Manchuria.

If you ask if the Soviet Union has money?! Yes! But not much anymore. There are really many places to spend money! Without the inflow of capital, there will naturally be no smelting, chemical and mechanical equipment!

There are even fewer workers. You must know that in history, countless skilled workers, technicians, engineers, etc. poured into the Soviet Union due to economic crises! But now because of the three northeastern provinces, more than 80% of these people have not gone to the Soviet Union.

Instead, under the organization of their own government, they came to the three northeastern provinces and worked in factories that were wholly owned or jointly owned by various companies in the three northeastern provinces. The various workers who flowed to the Soviet Union were only 20% of them.

This greatly weakened the Soviet Union. It also forced Stalin to use large sums of funds to secretly or openly purchase various machinery from factories in various countries. This consumed a large amount of Soviet funds.

Although heavy industry has developed, it is not only less than the glory created by the Soviet Union in history, but has even been halved. It also consumes a lot of funds. After the Wehrmacht cooperated with Germany, even Germany's loans were gone.

Unlike other countries that enthusiastically favored the three eastern provinces, the Soviet Union was boycotted by other countries due to "communism" and was struggling.

Most of the foundation left by Russia was exhausted in order to develop the Soviet heavy industry. Fortunately, the Soviet Union produced a lot of gold, which gave Stalin the opportunity to complete industrialization.

What most people don't know is that the Soviet Union is one of the major gold producers in the world, with its output ranking second in the world after the later Republic of South Africa. The Soviet Union has always attached great importance to the production of gold.

As early as October 1921, the Soviet government issued an order giving individuals or companies engaged in the gold mining industry the right to explore for gold and mine gold. It also established foreign-funded joint ventures and recognized patent contracts for resource development projects.

Grant patent rights to certain gold companies.

In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Soviet Union merged most domestic gold mining enterprises and gold exploration institutions and established the "All-Soviet Gold" joint enterprise, thereby strengthening unified central management.

After the 1930s, the Soviet Union's gold output increased dramatically. In 1932, the annual output reached 63 tons, basically returning to the highest level before the First World War. In 1934, it soared to 100 tons.

Thirty-six tons, twice as much as before the war, and a new record of 167 tons was set in 1937!

But the money was basically used to purchase various machinery, hire technicians, engineers, etc., and the rest was also used as investment in research and development and material purchases. However, after the war with Trotsky, various countries gradually entered a wait-and-see state!

The purchase of various supplies and weapons was rejected, and as the war began, Stalin also felt that the countries seemed to be on Trotsky's side, which made him extremely angry and helpless.

In this case, he thought of the three eastern provinces! Especially the newly developed fighter jets and tanks in the three eastern provinces made him extremely interested, so he came with Bluucher and his party.

To be honest, one million U.S. dollars at this time is a lot! You know, the price of U.S. dollars to gold at this time is 1 ounce to 35 U.S. dollars! 1.43 million U.S. dollars is equivalent to 1.158 tons of gold!!

With more than a ton of gold, one can imagine why Bluucher was so angry. Everyone would have to be angry. Even though the Soviet Union now produces more than 100 tons of gold per year, it still consumes a lot of money in various aspects of purchasing!

But this time, we just purchased thirty tanks and thirty fighter jets, which cost more than a ton of gold! It’s really not cheap.

After the purchase was agreed upon, Blyucher and others were naturally entertained by Tu Qianjun. Tu Qianjun, who had had many contacts with Slavs in his previous life, naturally knew what these fighting bears liked the most.

Tu Qianjun, who knew the temperament of these fighting bears well, prepared for them not a kind of Quxiang liquor, but Northeast Shao Daozi which was as hot as alcohol! The Quxiang of Chinese liquor was unacceptable to the Fighting Bears. They liked strong alcohol.

That smell.

But I saw bottles of good wine on the table! They were all extremely strong Northeast roasted knives. If ordinary people drank it, it would definitely be spicy from the throat to the stomach! But this kind of wine is the most suitable for the Slavic people's appetite!

There is also a lot of caviar, which makes Bluucher and others have a big appetite! The money for arms is spent anyway. Now, of course, you have to eat it ruthlessly!

For a moment, the winery was like a battlefield! After both parties had a casual meal, the heated drinking battle began! Slavs have a lot of toasts when drinking, and there is a reason for drinking, such as the first drink. Usually they are congratulations, welcome, etc.

words; the second cup is for the ladies here, and the next one is for the happiness of the family and the health of everyone here.

There is really no reason to drink to "you". After a fierce fight, all the seven or eight bottles of Shaodao on the table have been wiped out! But the atmosphere has not decreased at all.

"For the friendship between Su and Man! Let's have a drink!" Tu Qianjun laughed and raised his glass to Bluher and others! Then he drank it all in one gulp! Seeing this, Bluher and others could only drink the wine.

Go down.

Later, Tu Sanpao, who hurriedly returned from negotiations with North Korea, toasted again: "Nothing else! As soldiers, we should toast to victory!!"

After saying that they drank it all in one gulp, Blyucher and the others laughed loudly! Soldiers all like victory! So they drank it all in one gulp again! Then they fought back. Chuikov was the first to attack.

"Your victory! It's worthy of our toast!" Chuikov laughed! He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp! Naturally, Jun Zi and Pao Ye didn't back down, they raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp!

However, Junzi looked at Chuikov with a smile in his eyes. As he drank, he couldn't help but remember that this later famous general almost died from drinking.

In late December 1942, at the invitation of the commander of the Stalingrad secret police force, Chuikov set out from the west bank of the Volga River, crossed the frozen river, and went to the east bank to siege the city to participate in the celebration of the victory of the secret police force (formerly the famous "

Reception for the 24th anniversary of the founding of "Cheka".

Chuikov probably drank a lot that night. On his way back, he fell into an ice cave in the river. In the end, he had to be fished out of the biting river water by his entourage. A famous general of the generation almost got into trouble because of alcohol, and ended up with an unheroic ending.

.

Whether it was the Russian period or the Soviet Union, or even in the Russian period, the two indispensable items in the Slavic military supplies were tea and vodka!

During the siege of Stalingrad, the vodka ration for Soviet soldiers was about one hundred grams per day. But this small amount was not enough to soothe their throats. Therefore, medical alcohol was diluted by this group of alcoholics and used as food.

Drink the wine!

Soviet soldiers stationed in the wilderness during the harsh winter drank about a liter of spirits every day. Of course, the official rations were not that much, so they bartered military uniforms or a small amount of military supplies to civilians in nearby villages.

Even during the Stalingrad counterattack, a group of infantrymen seized a freight train abandoned by the German army. As a result, the commander, deputy commander and 18 soldiers became victims of German antifreeze due to greed. Three people died of poisoning, and the remaining 17 people were seriously ill.

It was serious and he was admitted to a field hospital.

In later generations, they even believed that beer could not be used as alcohol to entertain guests. In their view, beer was just a daily drink similar to mineral water. According to statistics from the Russian Ministry of Health, 1/3 of adult men and 1/7 of adult women in Russia "drink alcohol"

Addicted".

On average, more than 100 people die from alcohol poisoning every day across Russia, and 70% of the 300,000 traffic accidents every year are caused by drunk driving.

According to statistics, 42,000 people died of alcohol poisoning every year in later Russian statistics, while the Soviet army suffered 14,000 deaths during the 10 years they occupied Afghanistan, which was twice as many as the number of people killed in the Afghan war that year!

This shows how much Slavs love wine!

Tu Qianjun was a drunkard in the battlefield in his last life, and he has been fighting with his uncles and brothers in the stockade all his life! Not to mention Master Pao, whose fighting ability is only better than that of Jun Zi!

The two father and son faced Chuikov and the other three people. After drinking, the three people on the other side were already staggering, but the two father and son still drank with smiles.

"Plop~" With a sound, Rokossovsky was the first to fall over on the wine table! But he saw this man who would later be known as one of the troika of the Soviet Army along with Zhukov and Konev during the Soviet Patriotic War.

The marshal suddenly slipped under the table.

Chuikov was not much better, holding the wine bottle with the knife and laughing stupidly. After a while, "Gudong~" he also fell to the ground along with Rokossovsky.

Blucher is the only one among the three who is still struggling to support himself. Although this veteran likes vodka, at least his ability to control himself is stronger than that of his two subordinates.

Seeing that both of them had turned over, it was naturally time for the drink to end. With the support of several Soviet officers who came with them, Chuikov and Rokossovsky staggered back to their residence.

Early the next morning, thirty tanks and thirty Tiger Shark I fighter jets were quietly pulled out of the warehouse and put on a military train bound for Mongolia.

Along with the vehicle will be Wehrmacht mechanics. They will be responsible for training Soviet mechanics and temporarily helping the Soviet Union maintain tanks and aircraft. Of course, these parts will also be assembled by their hands in the Soviet Union.

In Moscow, a military train set off at the same time. The train was loaded with 1.3 tons of gold and headed for the Sino-Soviet border under the escort of internal affairs troops.

A week later, the two armies secretly traded on the Soviet-Mongolian border. More than a ton of gold was received by the First Army, and at the same time a group of Wehrmacht mechanics, fighter jets, and tanks followed the Slavs.

Of course, with them came the roasted knives and caviar enthusiastically presented by the Wehrmacht. This suddenly made the murderous Soviet Red Army feel tender towards the Wehrmacht, which was very much in line with their wishes!

After a friendly conversation, the two parties parted in tears. More than a ton of gold was naturally transported back to Fengtian by railway and entered the treasury of the three eastern provinces.

Looking at the yellow gold, Yang Yuting couldn't help but sigh that this arms business is so profitable! How much does it cost?! How much does it cost to sell?! As soon as he went in and out, a pile of gold came in!

The profit in one breath was much more than in ordinary industries! Seeing Yang Yuting drooling while looking at the gold, Tu Qianjun smiled and said to his old uncle: "Uncle Lin Ge, don't worry! They will come again!"

Tu Qianjun had this confidence. As early as 1812 during the Tsarist Russia, the Proclamation "Privileges of Inventions and Discovery in Arts and Handicrafts" had appeared, which in essence was a patent law.

There is no patent law in the Soviet Union. This is actually a misunderstanding of many people. In 1919, just two years after the establishment of the Soviet Union, they promulgated the "Invention Law" to protect the author's rights of inventors and stipulate that when the inventor transfers the right to use the invention to the state, there are

The right to receive certain remuneration.

Subsequently, the "Invention Patent Law" was passed in 1924, and inventions were changed to patent protection. In 1931, the "Regulations on Inventions and Technical Improvements" was revised again and announced, and two forms of protection were adopted for inventions, namely, the issuance of inventor certificates and the granting of patent rights, namely

It is commonly referred to as the "dual-track system", but in fact, the legal protection of inventions is mainly in the form of inventor's certificates.

The department in charge of this is called the Invention Committee, which is affiliated with the Soviet Committee of Labor and Defense. In other words, the Soviet Union is also talking about patent protection.

However, this kind of protection is based on the fact that the inventor cannot use his invention at will, and it must belong to the state. This has caused many people to have the illusion that the Soviet Union does not have patent protection.

And based on the relationship between the two parties, Tu Qianjun also believed that the Soviet Union would not easily choose to fall out with the Wehrmacht over two weapons. Now the whole world is pursuing and intercepting the Soviet Union. Cutting off the Wehrmacht will not do much for the Soviet Union.

benefits.

Therefore, Tu Qianjun can be sure that the Soviets will come again! Because a certain evil tiger plans to bring Germany together to make a fortune in this war!

What is the most profitable way to make war?! There is no doubt that both sides of the war should continue to fight! As long as they continue to fight, they will continue to need weapons. At this time, you can make a lot of money just by selling arms!

You can also carry out industrial upgrades on the way. But if Tu Qianjun sells both sides, he will not be able to take care of it. In fact, this is also very offensive. It will be different if he brings Germany together to do it.

Germany had already been in contact with Trotsky, so it was natural to sell arms to him. And since the Soviet Union approached the Wehrmacht, it was natural that the Wehrmacht was responsible for the Soviet side.

In other words, Tu Qianjun thought further! Mustache’s ambition was not just to tear up the Treaty of Versailles! His goal was to make the entire Europe surrender!

If he continues to increase his strength, Europe will be weakened even more in the future! Even the United States, which is vaguely connected to Europe, will suffer greater damage!

Only when you are all weak can we take advantage of the situation and rise! Tu Qianjun, who slowly walked out of the treasury, lowered his head and kept calculating various possibilities in his mind.

After World War II, how did China rise?! How to avoid being pursued and intercepted by other countries?! This is the most core issue. The weak Soviet Union, Europe and the United States made it easiest for China to rise with the help of war!

At the same time, the 52nd Division and the Red Army in the mountains of Fujian had already walked out of the mountains and forests. Outside the mountains, Hirose Hisuke and others watched these men with torn clothes but still murderous spirits slowly and silently walking out of the mountains.

Forest……
