In Moscow in 1987, the supply of essential materials was even more scarce than Chen Geng imagined, such as bread, meat, sausages, cheese and other materials, but in terms of the supply of other light industrial products...... Let's put it this way, there are no more materials in the department stores of the first-tier prefecture-level cities in China.

In any department store in a prefecture-level city in China, you can see a dazzling array of domestic and imported color TVs, fashionable combination audio, and exquisite electric fans...... The shelves are full of dazzling, and in the case of the actual abolition of the ticket system, the retail goods in Huaxia today are actually not much different from those more than 30 years later.

But in Moscow, although the department stores here are larger and more luxurious than those in China, they are not very popular, and the variety of goods is very small, if you make an analogy, it is probably about the same as that of China in the newly opened up area.

When he first came to the shopping mall in Moscow, Chen Geng couldn't believe it: this is the capital of the Soviet Union, one of the two poles of the world, and the supply of light industrial materials, which is closely related to the lives of residents, is so scarce?

In such a deformed country, it is really a matter of one day sooner or later.

Looking at Chen Geng, who kept shaking his head, Alexander Holmdorov was embarrassed, he opened his mouth, wanting to explain that the Soviet Union was not so poor, in fact, we were still very powerful, but after hesitating, he still didn't speak: the United States has a huge supply of social materials, every family has a villa and a car, and the electrical appliances at home are what they want, and they are never repaired when they are broken, they are all directly thrown away and replaced, and the people in the West only work five days a day, and only go to eight hours a day, and everyone goes out to travel when they are idle and have nothing to do. Barbecue meat in one's own yard and so on, such well-known articles advocating and envying Western life have been raging in the Soviet Union for many years.

Under the brainwashing of the public for a long time, the Soviets, who suffered from the limited supply of materials, firmly believed that these were true, and that the lives of ordinary Americans were much happier than those of the extravagant high-ranking officials in the Soviet Union, and since ordinary Americans were so happy, then super billionaires like Fernandez Chen ...... His life, I'm afraid we can't imagine it at all.

"Mr. Fernandez," Alexander Kholmdorov's words came to his lips, turning into curiosity about Chen Geng's life: "I have read some articles that say that you have a private jet and a large estate, is it true?"

Because of the successful connection with Chen Geng, Alexander Holmdorov is now shaking, not only was he transferred back to the KGB headquarters and promoted his rank by one level, but he was also in charge of the liaison between Chen Geng and the KGB headquarters, and he was regarded as the official liaison person of the Soviet Union next to Chen Geng - as for Alexander Holmdorov's other layer: on behalf of the GKB to monitor Chen Geng's every move, everyone knows it, there is no need to say it - the future is already bright.

"To be correct, I don't have a private jet, I have a total of four planes, two helicopters, a small propeller fixed-wing aircraft and a jet converted from a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 airliner," Chen Geng said seriously, "In addition, I have a total of 8 villas and 4 estates...... Which journalist is talking nonsense, who told me to be so poor?"

Alexander Kholmdorov: "......"

The reality turned out to be even more exaggerated than the rumors, and poor Comrade Alexander Kholmdorov felt ten thousand points of damage to his heart.

Just as he was talking to Alexander Kholmdorov, the picture in the TV in the mall, which was full of snowflakes and always squeaked from the loudspeakers, caught Chen Geng's attention: inside the TV, a picture that seemed to be a mountain forest fire was being played, and the mountain fire that covered the sky occupied the entire lens, which looked shocking.

Looking at the fire and smoke covering the sky and the sun on the TV, Chen Geng frowned, and always felt that something seemed wrong.

Although he couldn't understand what was being said on TV, it didn't matter, Chen Geng turned his head and asked Alexander Kholmdorov: "Alexander, what do you say in the news?"

"Oh...... It's nothing," Alexander Holmdorov glanced at the news and shrugged his shoulders like Chen Geng: "It's about the forest fire that spread to our Soviet Union over there, and the State Hydrometeorological Service advises the Siberian side to do a good job in fire prevention and control, and if the fire is found to be relatively large, extinguish the fire in time......"

What? The forest fires over there in China spread to the territory of the Soviet Union?

Chen Geng was stunned for a moment: When did Huaxia catch fire?

But the next moment, he suddenly reacted:! Great Xing'anling fire!

The Great Xing'anling fire in 1987 was the largest abnormal forest fire encountered in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the specific loss of the burned area Chen Geng did not remember very clearly, but in Chen Geng's impression, the direct economic loss caused by the fire to China was as high as four or five billion, and the indirect loss was nearly 10 billion. The cost of resettlement of people in forest areas and environmental degradation and other aspects, the total loss caused by this fire to China is more than 200 billion!

As for the total number of people killed, burned, displaced and lost in this fire, it has been too long for Chen Geng to remember clearly, but what is certain is that the fire raged for more than a month, and the state mobilized tens of thousands of troops and militia to fight for more than a month before the fire was extinguished.

In a word, this forest fire has brought heavy losses to Huaxia, so much so that the 4V singer who sang a song "A Fire in Winter" at the Spring Festival Gala just past was ridiculed fiercely: If he hadn't sung "A Fire in Winter", how could Daxinganling catch fire?
