Chapter 66 The Agreement I Don't Know the Future(1/2)

Xiao Qiang's face changed drastically, he immediately completed the scan, ready to attack Chisonev at any time.

He had no interest in working for others at all, let alone the Soviet Union, a country close to China.

After knowing that the Soviet Union existed, he found a lot of information about this country and suddenly found that it was extremely expanding since the beginning of Russia, the predecessor of this country.

As early as when Genghis Khan's grandson Badu established the Golden Horde in the lower reaches of the Volga River and took Northeast Ross into his pocket, the Russian rulers were later limited to the Moscow area and were called the Duchy of Moscow.

At the end of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the sixteenth century, the Principality of Moscow conquered various principalities and established Russia.

Later, since Ivan IV proclaimed himself the Tsar, Russia embarked on the path of expansion of showing off its military power to the outside world and embezzling other countries.

In 1552, the Kazan Khanate was destroyed; in 1556, the Astrakhan Khanate was conquered and the entire Volga River basin was occupied.

The 26-year-long Livornian War attempted to expand to the Baltic Sea, but it eventually failed.

Subsequently, in 1654, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Ukrainian people's resistance to Polish rule and invaded Ukraine; in the east, Russia went deep into Siberia, directly to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and invaded the Heilongjiang River Basin in the mid-17th century.

At the beginning of the 18th century, Russia launched a series of foreign wars. The Northern War broke out in 1700 lasted for twenty-one years. It fought with Sweden and Turkey, occupied a large area of ​​territory, and built the new capital St. Petersburg on this territory. When the Swedish army counterattacked, it occupied Poland; when it fought with Turkey, it moved into Finland, occupied Helsinki and other places. In more than 20 years of war, Russia occupied a large area of ​​Baltic land and seaport as it wished, and became one of the European powers.

In the Austrian throne war that broke out in the mid-18th century, Britain and France fought for colonies on the vast territory of the United States, while Russia formed a coalition with Austria, repeatedly hitting the British ally Prussia. In 1759, the 480,000 Prussian army that participated in the war had only 3,000 left, and then occupied Berlin in 1760.

Since then, Russia has increasingly regarded itself as an international gendarmerie. It has sent troops to several wars against the French Revolution. In the mid-19th century, when bourgeois revolution broke out one after another in Europe, it sent 400,000 troops to suppress the Hungarian and Romanian revolutions.

In the second half of the 19th century, Russia, which had also experienced bourgeois transformation, did not slow down its pace of foreign aggression.

Since 1850, through a series of wars of aggression, the Qing government has successively forced the signing of unequal treaties such as the Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty, the Sino-Russian Tianjin Treaty, the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Northwest Borders, and the Sino-Russian Iraq Treaty. The appetite has continued to expand and embezzled more than 1.5 million square kilometers of China's land;

In 1877, he fought against Türkiye and captured some of Türkiye suddenly;

In the 1880s, the comprehensive occupation of Central Asia was completed and Bukhara, Kokhan, Shiva and Turkmen were transformed into their own colonies;

When the Soviet Union was first established, it was an alliance country composed of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and the Transcaucasus Alliance. After the end of World War II, it quickly expanded into fifteen franchise republics, twenty autonomous republics, eight autonomous prefectures, ten autonomous regions, and one hundred and twenty-nine border states or regions, becoming the most vast country in the world.

Such a huge and expanding country with 5.1 million troops had a threat of invasion when Sino-Soviet relations were at the most tense time. Even if Xiao Qiang did not want to be controlled by the state, he would not have the possibility of cooperating with them at all!

On the contrary, its disintegration is more reassuring!

As long as it also has a deterrent force on Western groups and can attract their attention, this is enough!

Chisonev's attitude towards him suddenly changed for a moment, he thought for a moment, and understood why, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"If the Soviets can be saved, I will take action without hesitation, but this is impossible..."

Xiao Qiang did not say a word, slowly moved his body and blocked Lin Yi's face.

"The current country has completely lost its faith from the upper class to the common people. As early as the Brezhnev era, he had lost confidence in the future of communism. He once said to his younger brother: "What kind of communism is just a coaxing the common people."

However, now even the people can't coax them. They only see that there are fewer and fewer things that can be bought, and there are more and more scarce. Everything has to be queued up, the product quality is poor, workers are drunk and work, and medical accidents are frequent. In this country, there is a feeling that the ship is about to sink.

We have more than 120 ethnic groups, with a total population of 290 million, of which Russians account for only 51%, just over half.

Most of the nations joined the Russian Empire in the past three hundred years... In order to maintain the integrity of the country, we have also taken many coercive measures, so the relationship between the Russians and other nations is very tense..."

Chisonev spoke very slowly.

Xiao Qiang sneered in his heart, what does it mean to take compulsory measures?

Due to the huge size of Russia, based on hundreds of years of continuous conquest, all Tsars of all generations adopted the policy of enslavement and plunder of the occupied land, encouraged the chauvinism of the "Greater Russia", instigated the Russians to contempt, hatred, oppress other nations, and repeatedly implemented massacres and other means, resulting in Tsarist Russia becoming the country with the most profound ethnic conflicts in world history.

After the founding of the Soviet Union, although ethnic issues improved a little, they could not be solved.

Although the Russians occupy a dominant position in the Soviet Union, most Russians live in the Russian Federation, and Russians in other places only account for 19% of the local area, and instead become ethnic minorities.

These Russians were accused by the local ethnic groups of "occupiers" and "colonists". They were also full of resentment, believing that Russia had too many obligations and was scolded. They all demanded that other ethnic minorities be ignored and let them fend for themselves.

The comprehensive democracy implemented by Gorbachev has weakened the central government's control over the local government. These opposition voices have not been controlled, but have become stronger. The franchised republics have gradually disobeyed the orders above, and the centrifugal force has continued to increase.

Even among the various ethnic groups, there are many contradictions.

The Republic of Moldavia demanded that Moldavia be used as the official language was opposed by all other ethnic groups, including the Russians; many ethnic minorities who joined the republic demanded independence from their republics.

Similar incidents emerged one after another, Moscow was slow to respond and ineffective in taking measures. Not only did it not stop the situation from expanding, but it made the local government more courageous and acted recklessly.

Last year, in the Derbaijan State of Derbaijan, because Armenians in the majority, strongly demanded to leave Azerbaijan and join Armenia, the local Soviets even launched a referendum, and before that, violent conflicts with the influx of Azerbaijanis, killing twenty-six Albanians and six Armenians.

In such a country with constant conflicts, tension in relations is a modifier. It should be said that the underground magma pressure is accumulating, just waiting for a critical point, and then bursting out the momentum.

When Gorbachev had fantasies about the West, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and other Baltic countries were provoked by Western groups because they had always had close ties with the West and believed that they suffered losses after joining the Soviet Union. Originally, their economic development level was similar to that of Nordic countries, but in order to balance the economy of the entire Soviet Union, the development speed was slow and far behind the Nordic countries.

To this end, they repeatedly marched and demonstrated, demanding more autonomy, and eventually left the Soviet Union.

In such a situation, the Soviet Union's top leaders wishfully believed that the national issue had been completely resolved. Stalin said, "All ethnic groups have been closely linked with a strong friendship on the basis of complete equality." Khrushchev declared that "a new historical community of people of different ethnic groups with common characteristics has been formed in the Soviet Union - the Soviet people." Brezhnev boasted that "the national issue was completely resolved once and for all." This kind of ostrich mentality has made various ethnic conflicts more intensified and even irreconcilable!

Chisonev also knew that his statement could not stand the scrutiny, so he smiled awkwardly: "In fact, if you are willing to spend your energy, you can still solve the problem of ethnicity. But Gorbachev is too bad and is not a good leader!

The Soviet Union implemented a planned economy for decades, and suddenly implemented a comprehensive market economy. The people had no idea what to do. There was no special economic talent, which caused the people to be at a loss. A large number of state assets were illegally embezzled by some people. The production capacity not only did not improve, but also dropped significantly, and the lives of the people were more difficult than before.

After several years of reform, the Soviet Union's deficit doubled. In order to make up for the deficit, the country issued a large amount of currency, causing inflation to remain high, and the people were extremely resentful.

For this reason, the central government was forced to concentrate its main energy on the domestic economy.

However, after the failure of the reform, Gorbachev ignored the actual situation and completely overturned the old model in politics, calling for learning from the West and establishing a democratic and humane new policy system. So he fell from the top and was at a loss. The country fell into an extreme chaos, and countless extreme thoughts were like tides, impacting the people's brains.

At this moment, Gorbachev once again showed the qualities of an immature leader. He actually claimed that the argument that war is a continuation of politics is outdated and the future belongs to all mankind. The Soviet Union must focus on the interests of all mankind. Lead the Soviet Union, turn to the West in an all-round way, put down the weapons in his hand, and surrender obediently.

Disarmament, reduction of nuclear weapons, control of regional conflicts, and eventually evolved to signing a withdrawal agreement, preparing to withdraw from all over Europe and the country.

In this way, the last little pride of the people was ruthlessly deprived. The people's anger reached its peak with this withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the future social unrest is just around the corner!”

Xiao Qiang listened to his clear analysis and nodded repeatedly, feeling secretly happy.

Turbulence is a good thing. As long as it is not in your own country, it is a great thing to be pleased with.

He still comforted hypocritically: "Maybe things are not as bad as you imagined, maybe Gorbachev can still lead the Soviet Union and usher in the final victory. I believe that the Soviet people have the courage, confidence and perseverance to build the Soviet Union into a prosperous and democratic new country!"

Chisonev looked at him carefully and said after a long time, "Your words are shameless, just like what the Western politicians said!"

Xiao Qiang shrugged innocently and spread his hands, regretting that he could not understand his sincerity.

Chisonev sighed, rubbed his cheeks tiredly, and whispered: "A large number of people on it don't like Gorbachev's comprehensive pro-Westernity. When the critical point comes, they will inevitably have serious conflicts with the pro-Western faction. Maybe there will be a civil war!

However, the common people who were bewitched by Western politicians will inevitably support the pro-Western faction. Therefore, I can almost imagine the final outcome: the pro-Western faction won the entire victory, the various franchised republics took the opportunity to declare independence, the Soviet Union collapsed, and even further dismembered, and the great Soviets will become a noun in history..."

Xiao Qiang cannot help but admire his ability to reason, but he has no feelings about it.

His incomplete memories of past lives cannot tell him whether the collapse of the Soviet Union could be confirmed as Chisonev's inference, but the Soviet Union became a historical noun or a historical noun he did not remember.

Perhaps the collapse of the Soviet Union would make many Soviet Union think it was heartbroken, but Xiao Qiang would not. That was not his country, not where he devoted his feelings.

He only knew that China in his previous life was moving forward steadily, people's lives were improving day by day, and the country had become a world power.

This means that the collapse of the Soviet Union did not have a bad impact on China, and perhaps it could also promote China's strength.

Therefore, he simply expressed surprise by Chisonev's imperfect inference, and slightly expressed his understanding of Chisonev's feelings, that's all.

"So, do you want to leave this shipwreck early?" he asked softly.

Since Chisonev said that the Soviet Union was a sunken ship, he called it this without any scruples.

He understood Chisonev's actions a little. Only in this way can he explain why he worked so hard to help himself - he wanted to find a new shelter!

Chisonev shook his head with a gloomy face.

"Why?" Xiao Qiang was really surprised. Chisonev said that he no longer had fantasies about the Soviet Union and actively helped him. No matter from any perspective, it means that he no longer took the mission of the agent as the highest guiding principle.

Xiao Qiang was an outsider and was thrilling to hear his analysis of the future of the Soviet Union, but he denied the idea of ​​escaping from the Soviet Union, which was really puzzling.

"The collapse of the Soviet Union, the catastrophic consequences, will ultimately be borne by the common people. Western politicians praised our reforms with great praise, but actually mocked our stupidity behind our backs!

They called us polar bears, cruel and rude, but they still respected us!

And now, they have changed their tone to us, and the media has praised us. When they see us, they keep praising us, saying that from now on, we will be true gay brothers. However, what I see behind these smiles is their crazy laughter!

Laugh at us for being naive and laugh at us for being self-disarming.

When disaster comes, they will never help us, but will work harder to worsen our situation, make our country second-rate, and do their best!”

Tears flashed in Chisonev's eyes: "I said, I don't owe anything to the Soviet Union. But I still love this country! Seeing that we are about to become international refugees, there will be no glory to speak of again. My inner pain cannot be expressed in words!"

Xiao Qiang was moved by his deep affection for his motherland and finally felt a little sympathy: "You don't have to be too sad. Since this is the inevitable direction of the future of history, there is nothing to do with you alone."

"I understand! So, I plan to return to China and contact comrades and try to avoid the worst situation! For this reason, I am willing to give everything!" Chisonev's face was filled with a determined expression of indomitableness and bright eyes.

"What are you nervous about this inference? Maybe I inspired you, but I am the only one who is a Soviet Union with hundreds of millions of people. Can you see this result? Just kidding! What do you think you are? A god? A god? Don't dream!" Xiao Qiang was shocked by his sincere feelings for the first time and shouted at the top of his lungs, "If this is a major trend in history, you can't even try your best to pieces and break into pieces, and you can no longer have a wave in the historical trend! At this time, what you should do the most is to protect yourself! Do you understand?"

Chisonev smiled, smiling brightly: "You don't understand that a person, no matter where he goes, cannot shed his innate imprint! Just like I am still in China, and I am still a Soviet person; if you become a US citizen, you will always be a Chinese! The blood flowing in our blood vessels is destined to our loyal goal, and it will not be changed until death! So, while you can still make a difference, love your country! It is not a certain party or a regime, but a real entity. Whether it is powerful or not determines whether you can raise your head to speak in the world! So, please love your country!"

Xiao Qiang stared blankly at the man in front of him. There was a dramatic plot between them, and the two sides moved from conflict to cooperation. He seemed to understand this person.

He no longer intends to persuade this man. When a person strives for his ideals, he is indomitable and irresistible!

"Then why didn't you tie me back to the Soviet Union and come to help me?" Xiao Qiang did not forget this problem. He became more and more careful in his own safety and always remained vigilant.

"Because you are our last harbor!" Chisonev said without hesitation.

"I know your father has just improved, and his new thinking will surely make him go further! And you, with the government, have moderate cooperation.

When I returned to China, I would do my best with my comrades to avoid the greatest disaster, but this is not based on our will, we can only do our best.

In the event of the worst, we hope that a strong China will become a new target to attract the West, our shelter, making them afraid that we will completely turn to China, and show mercy to retain vitality for the country and wait for a comeback in the future.

At the same time, in times of crisis, we hope that there will be a protector so that our comrades can hide under your wings, at least to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and will not fall into a difficult situation of survival!”

Xiao Qiang jumped up like a cat stabbed by a needle, bowed his body and was ready to go: "You want to use me!"
