Russia is not a unified centralized country, but a Soviet Union composed of multiple republics, which laid the foundation for future divisions.
Different from the "national assimilation" policy during the imperial period, Russian leader Vladimir first proposed "dismantling nationalist armed forces by granting ethnic autonomy rights to various regions" to alleviate conflicts and establish a Great Russia.
This concept was completely different from the "one country, one nation" policy commonly implemented in Western countries at the time. It had a certain positive effect, but it also led to numerous rebellions.
Ethnic separatist movements broke out in Chechnya and Dagestan in 1920, Karelia in 1921, Georgia in 1924, and Yakutia in 1925.
When Vladimir died in 1924, the bearded man became the leader of Russia.
Unlike Vladimir's tolerant policy, Big Beard is extremely ruthless in dealing with rebellions. He either arrests, exiles, or even uses forced relocation to brutally suppress the national separatist forces in the territory.
In May 1941 alone, Russia arrested 5,664 people in Lithuania and forcibly relocated 10,187 people; in Latvia, it arrested 5,625 people and forcibly relocated 9,546 people; in Estonia, it arrested 3,173 people and forcibly relocated 5,978 people.
These data all come from the three Baltic countries. In addition, in Poland, Finland, and the Far East, Russia has adopted coercive and high-pressure policies to move local rebel forces to Central Asia.
Just last year, after the Russian army repelled the German army, almost all the Crimean Tatars, Kalmyks, Chechens, and Ingush people in Russia were charged with "treason" and forcibly relocated.
to Central Asia.
When Russia was strong, these rebel forces could only endure and lie dormant.
Once Russia weakens, these suppressed voices will become a force for the collapse of the huge empire.
The policy adopted by Southern Africa in this regard, like that of most Western countries, is "one country, one nation".
In southern Africa, whether whites, Chinese, or even Persians and Africans, they are all southern Africans and will not receive any privileges, and naturally they will not be targeted in any way.
In principle, the United States is also "one country and one nation." However, the character of the Angsa people determines that it is difficult to implement U.S. policies from beginning to end. In order to win the help of African Americans, Lincoln promised to abolish slavery, but until now, many people in the southern United States have
Slavery still existed in the state, but Washington turned a blind eye. Even within the US military, African-American soldiers suffered from discrimination.
Although he knew that there were many hidden dangers in Russia, Roark couldn't bear to remind the bearded man. Even if he warned the bearded man, he would not listen. Roark's purpose was to end the war as soon as possible. For this reason, Roark would rather give up some short-term interests.
As the saying goes, as long as a problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
"Economically, Southern Africa can give Russia some compensation, including but not limited to interest exemptions, loan exemptions, new material and technical support, etc. -" Roque lured him with benefits, but the bearded man's weakness was actually very obvious.
Bearded man's character is to take soft things rather than hard ones, which is evident from the relationship between Russia and Germany over the years.
When Mustache first came to power, due to the Treaty of Paris, Germany could not develop armaments, so Germany cooperated with Russia. They not only cooperated in the research and development of military equipment, but also placed German troops in Russia for training. The relationship between the two countries was extremely close.
At that time, the Germans were seeking help from Russia, and the mustache had a low profile. The bearded man, who was also ostracized by the international community, ignored the past and wholeheartedly helped Germany, and once almost joined the Axis powers.
During the Russo-German War, Russia was once on the verge of despair and its collapse was imminent.
But in a desperate situation, the bearded man called on the Russians to take up arms and fight bravely to resist the German invaders, and finally turned defeat into victory, which surprised the world.
Therefore, when Rock was dealing with the bearded man, he paid great attention to his approach, neither being overly stimulating nor simply shrinking back to do what he wanted.
"Forgive all loans?" The bearded man has a big appetite, and this request is too much.
Throughout World War II, various loans and material assistance from Southern Africa to Russia were equivalent to nearly 20 billion rand.
It is impossible to exempt all this amount of money. How much money did Russia owe the British in the last world war? It was only 750 million pounds. Therefore, the British did not hesitate to incite Kolchak to start a civil war.
If Russia were to waste all the 20 billion it owed to southern Africa, Roque would have no choice but to order Arthur to cause some trouble for Russia in Eastern Europe.
So Roque looked at the bearded man angrily and didn't say a word.
"Hahahaha, I'm just joking -" The bearded man probably felt that he was very humorous and was overjoyed.
"War of words will not help solve any problems -" Rock hoped that the bearded man would be sensible.
In other words, be more mature.
This is really not meant to belittle the bearded man, but it is difficult for the bearded man to look at the problem objectively in the environment like Russia.
After Vladimir's death, Big Beard became Vladimir's successor. Through the first two "Five-Year Plans", Russia's total industrial output jumped from the fourth in Europe to the first and largest in Europe.
Ranked third in the world.
Between 1929 and 1937, Russian industry developed at an average annual rate of 20%. The total industrial output value in 1937 increased seven times compared with 1913, while other European countries only increased by 0.3% during the same period.
In one sentence, under the leadership of Big Beard, Russia miraculously transformed from a backward agricultural country into an industrial power in a short period of time. Its short time and high efficiency can only be matched by southern Africa in the world.
Not even the United States.
In this process, the prestige of the bearded man has increased unprecedentedly. By the 1930s, Russia's domestic attitude toward bearded individuals had reached its peak. Even the bearded man himself began to express his disdain when referring to himself.
Use third person.
So in this kind of environment, it’s really hard for a big beard to keep from falling off.
In Russia, the bearded man is the undisputed "loving father".
But among the four people in Yalta, except for the bearded man, which one of them has a deserved reputation? Any one of them is a man who has been in the officialdom for decades and has killed countless opponents.
Not to mention Rock's status in southern Africa, Roosevelt's status in the United States is also undisputed.
Even Winston, whose status seemed to be in jeopardy, actually had an unmatched status in the UK, otherwise the King of England would not have awarded Winston the title of "Duke of Renton".
This title is not a compliment at all, but a compliment.
"I have heard Miles introduce Southern Africa many times recently. From Miles's words, I realized a powerful, beautiful, and rich Southern Africa. I hope that one day I can go to Southern Africa and experience it for myself.
, what kind of paradise on earth is-" The bearded man also spoke highly of southern Africa.
Miles is the Russian ambassador to Southern Africa and a member of the Russian delegation.
"At any time -" Rock didn't take it too seriously. The bearded man was very cautious. So far, as far as Rock knew, the bearded man had only left Russia during the Tehran meeting.
Tehran is also Russia's sphere of influence, so strictly speaking it does not count as going abroad.
Of course, it’s not the bearded man’s fault. Russia has been ostracized by the international community for a long time. No country has invited the bearded man to visit, so the bearded man naturally has no chance to visit.
Now that the bearded man has expressed his willingness to visit southern Africa, Rock certainly welcomes him.
Don't think about those things that are there or not. If Big Beard really goes to southern Africa, Rock will be more concerned about Big Beard's safety than Big Beard.
"I heard Gromyko mention that London hopes that Russia can participate in the Far East war as soon as possible. What do you think of the Far East?" The bearded man smiled and finally started talking about business.
Whether it is aimed at Winston is actually not important, the Polish issue is not important, and reparations are even less important. The bearded man is not a person who cares about trivial matters. What he cares about is Russia's core interests.
The Far East is undoubtedly Russia's core interest.
"Japan must surrender unconditionally, conduct thorough and strict trials of all war criminals, and no one will be amnesty -" Rock first drew a red line, watching the bearded man nod repeatedly before continuing: " - Japan must hand over the gains it has made since the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894
All overseas interests, including Ryukyu and the peninsula."
The bearded man has no doubt about this, but he has something to add.
"Where is Sakhalin?" The bearded man stared into Rock's eyes.
Sakhalin is Sakhalin.
In 1858 and 1860, Russia forced the Qing government to cede Sakhalin through unequal treaties such as the Treaty of Aihun.
In 1905, Japan obtained the area south of 50° north latitude of Sakhalin Island through the Treaty of Portsmouth.
In 1905 and from 1918 to 1925, the entire territory of Sakhalin was ruled by Japan.
The Sino-Japanese War of 1894 took place in 1894. Since Rock said that Japan would spit out all the overseas territories it acquired after the Sino-Japanese War, Sakhalin Island was naturally included.
"Of course that's included -" Rock didn't think twice, and the smile on his face didn't change at all.
Sakhalin Island covers an area of more than 76,000 square kilometers. The island is rich in forest resources, there are gold, oil, coal and other mineral resources underground, and there are delicious salmon in the sea——
To describe it in southern African terms, it is a standard Feng Shui treasure.
Such a good place must of course be inhabited by virtuous people. However, the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, and Sakhalin Island was taken away by the Russians. Later, when the Japanese became more powerful, Sakhalin Island became a Japanese colony.
The future——
Just follow this rule. Isn’t it true that Westerners always follow the jungle society and have big fists?
Therefore, the core of all problems is that one is strong, and it is useless to say anything else.
"In 1905, Russia lost almost all its interests in the Far East, and these interests must now be taken back." The bearded man pushed further, which exceeded Roark's bottom line.
In the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, Russia was defeated, and Japan took over almost all of Russia's interests in the Far East, most of which were related to the Chinese.
While in Cyprus, Winston once discussed this issue with Rock, hoping to use the interests of the Far East to lure Russia into participating in the Far Eastern War as soon as possible.
Russia's interests in the Far East include not only Sakhalin Island, but also Dalini, Mashijin, the Kuril Islands, the Middle East Railway and the Nanman Railway, etc.
Forget about Sakhalin and return the Kuril Islands to Russia, Roark can accept it.
Dalini and Mashijin, as well as the China Eastern Railway and the Nanman Railway, are in serious conflict with the interests of the Chinese, and Roque will not give in under any circumstances.
"The biggest mistake made by the British and the French during the Paris Peace Conference was to blatantly decide the interests of a third country without the third country being present -" Luo Kefeng Qingyundan, you are already a father, a bit like a father.
Ok?
"Are we going to make similar mistakes again?" Rock threw the question back to Big Beard.
The bearded man frowned, and the ideological struggle was fierce.
When dealing with people like Big Beard, you can't confront them head-on. You have to use emotion to understand them and let them reflect on their own.
Think of what happened to Russia at the Paris Peace Conference.
If you judge others by yourself, and the world is about to enter a new era, do you want to make the same mistakes again?
"Locke, I can exchange the interests of the Mediterranean for the interests of the Far East." Big Beard proposed a new plan.
"Hehehe——" Rock laughed dumbly.
Mediterranean!
Is that the Russian Mediterranean?
Russia has always dreamed of expanding its power to the Mediterranean, but its claws were interrupted before it even stretched out, and it cannot even break through the Dardanelles. It is better not to have delusions about the Mediterranean.
Using one benefit that doesn't exist in the first place in exchange for another benefit that doesn't even exist at all is the lion's fault, and it's sheer blackmail.
"Joseph, I can use concessions from Eastern Europe in exchange for Russia's restraint in the Far East." Roque said it euphemistically, but his meaning was still very clear.
"What's wrong with Eastern Europe?" The bearded man's expression finally turned serious.
Eastern Europe--
In the concept of the bearded man, he has long been in Russia's possession, and there is no dispute at all.
"Of course, you don't think that defeating the German army will be done once and for all, right?" Roque smiled. There seems to be no problem in Eastern Europe now, but if the bearded man refuses Roque's suggestion, Eastern Europe will soon be filled with war.
"Locke, I don't allow anyone to mess up Eastern Europe--" The bearded man's eyes were stern, as if he had suddenly changed into a different person.
That's right, he's obviously a powerful figure in the world, so why are he pretending to be a little white rabbit?
"Of course, I won't allow anyone to cause trouble in the Mediterranean." Roque responded tit-for-tat. If you don't accept it, let's give it a try.
Just try it.
A man like Big Beard, who won't shed tears until he sees the coffin, even defeated such a powerful Axis army. The Russian army is in its heyday, and now Big Beard is confident to deal with any enemy.
Rock's confidence is stronger than that of Beard.
In Rock's view, Russia's mechanized troops are actually paper tigers. Using Joseph's method to fight against the mechanized troops has achieved remarkable results.
Joseph's level of guerrilla warfare was actually just that. Few people knew that the Yugoslav People's Guerrilla also conducted the Long March.
But compared with another long march, the Long March of the Southern African People's Guerrillas was only more than 200 kilometers away, and it was actually just wandering in the mountains and valleys.
There are also many guerrilla warfare experts in southern Africa, and Roque can send out a brigade of guerrilla warfare experts at any time.
I wish my brothers a happy New Year in advance, and wish them good luck and prosperity in the Year of the Rabbit——
