2591 Exposing one's cheating in person can lead to death.
In order to show off their civilization, European countries often say that life is priceless.
This "priceless" must have nothing to do with Russia, because Russian soldiers are gray animals in the eyes of Europeans and are a type of consumables.
It is difficult to estimate Russia's losses in the world war. The number of casualties alone was close to 30 million, and the economic losses cannot be calculated.
The costs paid by Southern Africa can be quantified. Every aid provided to Russia is well-documented, and even free aid is well prepared.
It is said to be free, but in fact it is more expensive than paid.
Even if there is no equivalent exchange in normal trade, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and people are anxious about what others think.
There are many ways to say it is free.
From now on for countless years to come, whenever the Russians mention their contribution in World War II, southern Africans can confidently say: Your military medals are half as many as ours.
"Russia lost 60 million people in this war——" The bearded man spoke sincerely, his eyes were red.
Roque was also helpless. Russians were so poor at mathematics that they couldn't even do statistical work well.
You can't blame the bearded man for talking about it. After all, data serves needs.
During the war, in order to boost morale, the Russian official media usually reduced Russia's casualty data and exaggerated the results. According to the Russian official media, the average German death was not enough.
Now that the war is over, in order to gain more benefits for Russia, Big Beard has caused Russia's losses to reach a huge 60 million. For a while, Rock couldn't tell which one was true and which one was false.
"Isn't it 30 million?" Rock can ignore the bearded "slip of the tongue", but Winston will not miss any opportunity to mock Russia.
"30 million are killed in action, and 30 million are injured." The bearded man is not embarrassed. Russia's casualty data are calculated separately.
That’s okay too.
"This is not the reason for us to decide Germany's fate, at least not the only reason." Truman also stated that although Russia's losses were great, the United States' losses were not small either.
Although Russia's casualties are high, the pressure on the Russian government may not be great.
The Western Front allies now have good relations with Russia. They have embassies in Moscow and are familiar with Russia's situation.
From what Southern Africa and the United States have learned, so far, Russia has not introduced standards for pensions for fallen officers and soldiers, which is incredible.
European and American countries say that life is priceless, but in fact the price of a soldier's life has already been clearly marked.
Taking the United States as an example, the pension for fallen soldiers is roughly divided into three parts. One part is the first pension, which is about US$2,000.
Then there is a one-time death compensation, which is about US$5,000.
In the end, the insurance company paid about US$10,000.
Compared with British and French standards, the standards set by the U.S. government are relatively high.
However, how much such a high standard can be fulfilled in the end remains to be seen. After all, the U.S. government has a long history. If it cannot afford dollars, it will give bayonets and poison gas bombs.
The situation in Russia is more complicated.
When the World War broke out in 1939, Russia had about 170 million people.
Even if calculated at 30 million, it is equivalent to nearly one-sixth of the total population.
It is well known that the follow-up resettlement costs for disabled soldiers will be higher than the pension costs for fallen soldiers.
If you calculate it this way, every family in Russia wears money and every family wears mourning, and every family is given money, which is equivalent to no money.
"How many casualties did the United States suffer during the world war?" The bearded man was not targeting Rock, but his attitude towards Truman was also changing.
No, it should be said that the bearded man's attitude towards Truman was worse than his attitude towards Rock.
In both world wars, Southern Africa participated in the whole process from beginning to end, with a strong sense of presence.
The United States also has a strong sense of presence, but unfortunately it is negative. The so-called "free trade" in the early years of the two world wars fully exposed the ugly face of Americans.
So Rock bargained with Big Beard, and Big Beard was able to accept it.
The Americans did not question Russia's qualifications at all.
So Truman stopped talking.
Some things cannot be scrutinized.
Don't listen to the Americans shouting loudly. In fact, the total number of American casualties so far is only 410,000. This number also includes civilians. If only the US military is counted, there are only 290,000.
Looking at the Russian battlefield, 290,000 people are not enough to consume half of the battle.
"If we keep struggling on this issue, there will never be any results." Roque put aside the dispute. Japan has not surrendered yet, the war is not over yet, and the number of casualties in various countries will continue to increase.
So there is no point in continuing to dwell on this issue. The behavior of the United States is certainly despicable. Isn't it glorious that Russia worked with Germany to carve up Poland and almost joined the Axis powers?
"I just hope that Russia can be treated fairly. After all, we have made the greatest sacrifice." The bearded man gritted his teeth. What else could he say if he didn't say this?
Rock spread his hands.
Russia is not the only country that lost tens of millions in the world war.
The bearded man feels that it is unfair to Russia to divide the river to rule. The Poles are still locked out and are not even qualified to participate in the meeting.
"You have already won Poland and Eastern Europe, don't be too greedy." Winston was also impatient. Russia only lost 30 million people, while Britain lost its world leadership.
No doubt, if 30 million lives could be exchanged for world leadership, Winston would not hesitate.

Of course, 30 million British people are definitely not enough. How many people are there in the UK?
30 million Indians will definitely be fine. Even if there are an additional 30 million, Winston will be willing to do so.
Speaking of India, Winston's eyes lit up.
"The British Empire's losses in this war also exceeded 30 million people. According to Russian standards, Britain is also qualified to monopolize Germany." Winston said in a surprising way.
Not to mention the bearded man, even Rock and Truman were shocked.
Big Beard’s data fluctuates high and low, but at least it is within an acceptable range. Russia’s losses are certainly 30 million, if not 60 million.
Where are the UK’s 30 million?
There are only 47 million people in the UK.
"In the years since the World War, a serious famine broke out in India -" Winston's voice was low, sounding extremely heavy.
But Rock only heard absurdity in Winston's voice.
It cannot be said that the famine in India has nothing to do with the world war, but more responsibility lies with Britain, not Germany.
During the two world wars, Britain treated India like a pool of blood. Even farmers’ seeds were brought to Britain to feed cattle, but tens of millions died of starvation at every turn.
If Winston hadn't mentioned this, no one would have noticed it.
Now Winston actually used the famine in India as a bargaining chip to bargain with Russia. That would be so shameless.
"Please allow me to tell a joke, India is also a part of the United Kingdom." The bearded joke obviously did not have the style of a Russian joke.
You have to see how you understand this. India is indeed part of the UK, but Indians are not British.
The British government doesn't even care about the Irish. It can care about the life and death of Indians. After all, the Irish are still real white people.
"That's all for today's meeting -" Rock adjourned the meeting in time, everyone needed to calm down.
Politicians are very capable of mediating emotions.
Despite the tension in the venue, when they walked out of the conference room to face the reporters, the bearded man, Truman, Winston, and Rock were all smiling, making people feel like they were in spring breeze.
Those who didn't know better thought the four of them had just taken a bath.
"Yes, we have reached a lot of agreement on dealing with Germany. Next, we must work on the demilitarization of Germany, so that Germany will forever lose the ability to wage war, and bring real peace to the world in which we live -
—" Roque's speech was very flexible, and he didn't lie. On the above issues, the participants had indeed reached an agreement long ago.
"Of course I am confident that I will face the challenge of the Labor Party and win the next general election. I will lead the UK to complete post-war reconstruction and reach its peak again, just like in the past few years. This has also been my ideal all along, which is to always work for
In the service of the British Empire." Winston's speech was like a general election manifesto, but it was in the wrong place.
There is no point in publishing a campaign manifesto in Potsdam. You should do it at the podium of the Congress or on the radio to get the desired effect.
"The United States will not be absent from any subsequent international activities. It will actively integrate into international activities and play its due role. This is also the advice given to me by President Roosevelt -" Truman lacked confidence and needed Roosevelt's blessing.
"Russia made unparalleled contributions in the world war. We wiped out 99% of the German army and saved the entire world from the iron heel of the German army. Next, we will aim our guns at Japan to complete the war.
The revenge of the Japanese, all Russia's enemies, will eventually be conquered by Russia." The bearded man's speech was extremely tough.
Discordant sounds still appeared.
“Has Russia decided to abandon the Japan-Russia Non-Aggression Pact?”
The press conference was held on the lawn in front of the Cecilienhof Palace. Hundreds of reporters attended the press conference. Some influential newspapers from various countries sent interview teams to Potsdam.
Saran TV even brought in a news broadcast truck to broadcast the press conference live.
The "Japan-Russia Non-Aggression Treaty" is not meaningless. Under the circumstances at that time, Russia and Japan signed a contract before, which was conducive to Russia transferring all its energy to the European battlefield and avoiding the embarrassment of a two-front war. With Russia's strength
, if we fight on two fronts, maybe it will be gone now.
This peace treaty was actually retaliation for the appeasement policy of the Allies on the Western Front.
The Allied forces on the Western Front diverted trouble to the north and tried every means to get Germany to attack Russia. It is impossible for the Russians not to know this.
A bearded man is not a forbearing character, and he will not stay overnight if he has a grudge. Since Britain can divert trouble to the north, Russia can also restore peace with Japan, allowing Japan to launch the Pacific War without any distractions.
As for when to give up, that's not a matter of words for the bearded man.
Of course, it's hard to say whether this will have an impact on the bearded man's personal image and Russia's national credibility.
"What do you mean? Which newspaper reporter are you from? What do you want to say?" The bearded man's eyes were as scary as if he wanted to eat someone.
Don't slap people in the face, don't criticize people but don't expose the shortcomings. Bringing this up on this day of universal celebration is not to add trouble, but to add salt to the wounds of the Russian people.
Not only reporters were present, but also a large number of security personnel.
Before the reporter could answer the bearded man's question, several Russian staff members rushed towards the reporter.
"I am a reporter from the Frankfurter Zeitung, and I have an interview pass issued by the Allied Forces Command on the Western Front." The reporter panicked, and the tag on his chest became his only talisman.
That's right, the German press will expose the scars of the bearded man on this occasion.
The bearded man raised his hand to stop the staff who wanted to drag the reporter away, not wanting to create a bigger topic: "I know you want to say that there is also a "Russian-German Non-Aggression Pact" between Russia and Germany, but maybe you forgot
, officially the war broke out between Germany and Russia because of your betrayal by the Germans."
Having said that, there was no need to continue the press conference. After returning to the station, Rock did not forget to care about the safety of the reporters and reminded Barton to send the reporters away in time to avoid more accidents.
"Then the reporter's life will be in danger? Not so, right?" Barton had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
"In 1934, there were 168 million people in Russia. By the second census in 1937, there were only 162 million people left in Russia. Within three years, the population not only did not increase, but decreased by 6 million -" Rock was very fond of the bearded man.
learn.
From 1934 to 2037, there was no war or large-scale natural disaster in Russia. Under normal circumstances, the annual natural population growth is more than 6 million.
The reason why it did not increase but decreased is inseparable from Russia’s clean-up.
"That is indeed necessary." Patton fully realized Russia's attitude towards life. Looking at it this way, the reporter really wanted to die.
This cannot be blamed on the brutal bearded man. If it were Roark, if a reporter dared to ask such a question to Roark in public, Brad's office would also investigate the reporter's 18th generation ancestors.
Of course, whether lives are in danger depends on the motivation behind the question.
If it is unintentional, the consequences will not be too serious.
If it was intentional, it would probably disappear from the world.
Big Beard still attaches great importance to Roque and places him in Sanssouci Palace.
Sanssouci Palace is an 18th-century German royal palace and garden located in the northern suburbs of Potsdam. It was built by King Frederick II of Prussia in imitation of the Palace of Versailles in France. The entire palace covers an area of 90 hectares. It is also known as the Palace of Sanssouci because it was built on a sand dune.
"Palace on the Dunes".
Sanssouci Palace is the essence of German architectural art in the 18th century, and the entire construction project lasted for 50 years.
Fortunately, Sanssouci Palace has not been bombarded by artillery fire so far and is very well preserved, which allowed Roque to fully appreciate the charm of German architectural art.
