Putin is more capable, but he is still a more honest person. Fan Wubing carefully considered the words and said to Shen Ying.

It is obviously reasonable for him to say this. In fact, since Putin's rise to power suddenly, even Russia has a serious lack of understanding of him, let alone other countries.

Most people now know Putin only knows that this new Russian general manager is not only young and capable, but also a former KGB employee who is proficient in judo and can drive fighter jets. Apart from that, he really knows very little.

But if you don’t understand it, as the biggest successor to the legacy of the Soviet Union, a former major power, Russia’s every move will attract the attention of countries around the world. This is the young Russian president this year and a person who has worked as a bodyguard.

In terms of diplomacy, Putin tried to restore Russia's status as a major power in the Soviet era. He repeatedly stated that the ideal world order should be a fair and democratic world order, which can ensure the security and wealth of everyone, not only the few, and that Russia advocates a democratic and multipolar world order and supports the consolidation of the international legal system.

At the same time, Russia under Putin has also established strategic cooperation with Western countries such as the EU and the United States, and will become a member of the G8. He is also very concerned about Asian affairs, especially the trends between China and India.

However, Russia's diplomatic relations with the Baltic countries have been in a relatively tense state, and Estonia's criticism of Russia has further rigidified the diplomatic relations between the two countries. It is worth noting that Putin's father was almost killed in Estonia during a blasting mission in World War II. Some people believe that this is one of the reasons why Putin's indifferent attitude towards Estonia.

Whether it is threatening to fight an information war with Estonia, threatening to cut off Lithuania's resource supply, or embargoing Georgian wine and Polish meat resources, all this strongly proves that Putin is preparing to expand Russia's influence to the former Soviet Union's franchisees, completely ignoring the feelings of these countries.

At the same time, a fact is becoming increasingly clear. Rather than treating Western countries as partners in trade and politics, he prefers to regard them as thorns in the eyes with the old Cold War thinking.

As for Korea, Russia was indifferent to it after its founding and turned to support South Korea. However, since Putin took office, he has not only visited North Korea many times, but also resolved the potential war crisis between North Korea and South Korea.

In addition, Putin has expressed his opinion to North Korea and is willing to help North Korea alleviate economic problems.

In January this year, Putin Ding had just taken office as Russian President and called Japan's Atsushi Yoshiro, hoping that the two sides would hold talks. At this time, Mori Yoshiro, who was in a political crisis due to Fan Wubing, agreed on the spot, hoping to rely on the talks to resolve the territorial issues of the two countries to obtain political capital and support himself to continue to stay in the position of the Magistrate for a while.

However, Putin was firm in this regard and directly rejected Mori Yoshiro's request to implement Kawana's proposal, but instead proposed to first draw up an intermediary treaty. Of course, his request was also rejected by Mori Yoshiro.

There have also been some changes in the relationship between China and Russia. Russia and China feel the importance of the other side in an anti-US stance. If they want to fight against the increasingly powerful United States, only China and Russia can join forces to get out. Therefore, the relationship between China and Russia has improved rapidly and border trade transactions have also increased greatly. So a while ago, there were rumors that Chinese businessmen purchased Russia's Sudao fighter jets, and Russia did not publicly refute the matter. This made the media suspicious, not sure what level of strategic cooperative relations between China and Russia have reached?

"In fact, the cooperation between China and Russia is far from as close as outsiders imagined." Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying. "Because Putin is unfathomable and has no traces, the senior management is a little confused about him. Therefore, although the contact between the two sides has gradually increased, they have not achieved strategic cooperation and mutual trust on certain major issues."

"Then what do you think of him?" Shen Ying asked.

"I can't see through him, but this person is a pragmatist. As long as the cooperation between us is effective and conducive to Russia's exhibition, he will not be able to object." Fan Wubing replied, "So, this time he invited us to Moscow, I think we should go and see it, and there are also some opportunities for cooperation."

"What useful things can he get from you?" Shen Ying was a little confused about this.

In fact, Russia is relatively strong in terms of technical capabilities and resources. Even though the country's economy collapsed because of the Soviet Union's poor military force, now after shock therapy, there have been signs of recovery. It is believed that in a few years, Russia will become another huge empire spanning the Eurasian continent.

Therefore, Shen Ying felt that Fan Wubing could not play any important role in Russia, or he discussed with the Russians that he would exploit oil and natural gas resources in Siberia. But now, Russia's local oil wealthy people have already, so naturally they would not agree that Fan Wubing's crossing river dragons plunder strategic resources in Russia for profit. This is the same as Fan Wubing's reason for controlling the rare earth industry in China, which is like...

"In fact, Russia's most concerned issue now is the issue of the four northern islands. However, Putin has just taken office and is not willing to show too tough stance on this issue for the time being. The collapse of the Japanese cabinet before helped him avoid this more embarrassing issue. Therefore, he probably hopes to use some more private channels to alleviate the deterioration of Russia's relations with Japan due to the four northern islands." Fan Wubing replied after considering it.

"Do you have the ability to deteriorate the relations between Russia and Japan?" Shen Ying asked back in surprise.

"No." Fan Wubing replied very simply, and then he said, "But I have a way to make Japan's political situation worse."

Japan is not a good neighbor in nature. To the west, it has a territorial dispute with South Korea on the Zhu Island (Dukuo Island); to the south, it also wants to take China's Diaoyu Islands as its own; and to the north, the four northern islands that were included in the Russian territory (the Soviets called it the South Thousand-Peace Islands) made them unable to let go.

Of course, it is difficult to spit out the meat that enters Russia's mouth. For Japan, only the endless Pacific Ocean to the east is peaceful, because there is only the ocean and there will be no territorial disputes.

However, compared with Japan's unreasonable and unreasonable relationship on the Diaoyu Islands issue, its experience on the northern four islands can only be described as deep revenge. After Japan surrendered in 1945, with the consent of the United States, Britain and other countries, the Soviet army occupied the northern four islands. Since then, the Japanese residents there have been forced to move away. Therefore, every year, many Japanese people who travel far away to their hometowns return to their hometowns and express their condolences in front of the ancestral graves.

After World War II, the international community scarf was because the Japanese government has always been following the United States, so the Soviet Union naturally looked at it coldly. Although both sides were working hard to improve relations, it was very bizarre that these two major powers had been negotiating for more than 50 years, but they had not signed a peace treaty yet. Among them, the main obstacle is that both sides are unwilling to give up ownership of the four northern islands.

From the perspective of strategic space, if the four northern islands are given to the Japanese devils, then Russia's only unfreezing port in the Far East will be under the surveillance of the United States and Japan, and Russia's nuclear strategic space will be suppressed.

On the contrary, the four northern islands of Zhiguo have been occupied by Russia, so Japan must be ready to deal with threats from the north at any time. With the restraint of China and South Korea, Japan's geostrategy will be in a very unfavorable position. Moreover, since the sea cucumber will not be too threatened, the deterrence of Russian strategic missile nuclear submarines on the United States has also been strengthened.

Under such conditions, Putin obviously could not agree to return the four northern islands.

"In fact, when did the food in Beisuoxing's stomach be vomited?" Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying. At that time, Lenin also expressed his intention to return the territory that occupied China. When he arrived at Stalin, he immediately turned against him and wiped out all the evidence of what Lenin said. This was the way he was to the so-called friends and comrades at that time. As for Japan, who had two experiences in the Russo-Japanese War, they would be so generous and impossible!"

When the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia, as the successor of a major power, inherited the four northern islands, a strategic location leading to the Pacific Ocean. Of course, Japan's obsession with these four islands is unforgettable.

Over the years, Russia has been experiencing a sudden rain. Not only has its military power gradually weakened, but its economic development is also unsatisfactory. In the urgent need of foreign investment, Russia has been seeking to improve its relationship with Japan, an old neighbor and rich man. Therefore, for the sake of developing the eastern economy, Russia reluctantly gave up this year. First, the Foreign Minister announced that it might consider whether the feasibility of returning the four northern islands exists. Then Putin said that Japan-Russia relations should be strengthened and jointly launched.

Japan's reaction was beyond Russia's expectations. What they mentioned first was not cooperation, but to see that the four northern islands did return to Japan. It can be said that they were typical of not seeing rabbits and not showing off their eagles, but how could Russia spit out the flesh in its mouth? Putin was nothing more than playing with political means. Once territorial issues were involved, no one dared to make mistakes.

"Putin still has an idea, just drag the word, but the Japanese are not stupid. If you don't give me the four northern islands, I won't cooperate with you. This is their position." Fan Wubing said, "But now Putin has seen another solution, which is to improve Russia's economy by strengthening exchanges with Chinese private capital. At least in this way, there is no need to consider Japan's economic aid for the time being. So, he still likes my money."
