The old man's name is Valery, and his home is not in the city of Ust-Kut, but on the outskirts of Ust-Kut. He was a mechanic who supported his family by repairing machinery for the lumberjacks.

Although his home has a large yard, the house is not large. In fact, in the Far East, despite the vastness of the land, few people built large houses.

It's too cold here after all. If the house is too big, you have to consider the problem of heating, it is better to live in a small house to be warmer------ not to mention that the Tsarist Russians are not afraid of the cold, there is a stove in this car, they also know the cold and the heat, right?

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yang Meng saw the power of the Tsarist Russians: there were two Siberian plain wolves tethered in the yard. Yang Meng rubbed her eyes and made sure that it was not a husky, but the ancestor of a husky...

Seeing Yang Meng coming, it was extremely fierce with cracked teeth. As a result, Valery roared at them twice, and the two Siberian plain wolves instantly confessed as if they had stepped on their tails!

God knows what they taught Valery a lesson.

Valery's wife's name is Natasha, and she is known by the same name as 'Black Widow'.

However, there are really too many women with this name in Tsarist Russia, just like Zhang Fang, Liu Fang, and Wang Fang in the Han Kingdom, Natasha looks like she is in her sixties this year, with blonde hair, and like other Tsarist women, her body shape has also become blessed, but it can be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young.

She was also very happy when she saw Yang Meng, and took out a broom to help Yang Meng clean up the snow on her body.

Yang Meng carried two little golden eagles into Valery's house, and there was a pet at home, and Yang Meng was even more dumbfounded when he saw Valery's guy: This Nima has a lynx? And is this lynx refined? Why is it so big? It is close to one and a half meters long, like a little tiger!

The lynx is also a feline, similar to the appearance of cats, but the tail is much shorter, and there is a kind of lynx in North America called "bobtail", with two pinches of hair on the ears which are their "ID cards". Originally, there were also lynxes in Zhushanzi, and their name there was 'wild lynx', which cried like a child. But the villagers of Zhushanzi have not caught this thing: they often go to the village to steal chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and even pigs to eat, which has harmed the villagers.

However, the lynx here is the same as the lynx of the Han Kingdom, both belong to the 'Eurasian lynx', but the appearance is still different in appearance: the lynx that Yang Meng saw when he was a child was golden in color and covered with black spots like a leopard, while the lynx is earthy gray and has no spots on its body.

This is what Yang Meng doesn't understand, in fact, the lynx Mauser in the north has turned gray and has fewer spots in order to adapt to the living environment here to facilitate hunting, and there are also spotted lynxes here, which are called 'cat lynx' by the locals, and this kind of lynx without spots is called 'wolf lynx'!

However, the appearance of the lynx is indeed very cute.

Just looking at the face, it looks like a little tiger, there is a 'beard' on the chin, two pinches of small black hair on the ears to keep warm and improve hearing, the soles of the feet are covered with thick long hair, like wearing four big boots, the fly in the ointment is that the tail is a little short。。。。。。

But don't be fooled by its 'cute' appearance, it's a top hunter, and if you don't have big cat prey like tigers and leopards, it's the one at the top of the food chain!

Some people will say: Who said that the wolf is the natural enemy of the lynx? In fact, it is really wrong to say this, and it should be said the other way around: "The lynx is the mortal enemy of the wolf."

The Far East is home to canine hunters such as wolves and wolverines, which feed almost the same as lynxes, so they are in competition.

However, there are very few cases of wolves slaughtering lynxes: after all, lynx are all crawlers, and if they really want to escape from the wolves, they can't take it; but lynx can really slaughter wolves! Even pregnant she-wolves and wolf cubs are the targets of lynx attacks! A Belarusian biologist once conducted a follow-up survey: In the northwest of their country, there is a Liboki forest with an area of about 2,000 square kilometers, where there are about 20 wolf packs and more than 100 wolf dens.

As a result, a few years later, only one wolf den was still built in the forest, and the rest were all moved out of the forest: in three years, at least half of the wolf cubs of the twenty wolf packs were killed by lynx!

The lynx raised in Valery lies on the couch like a big lazy cat. But despite this, Yang Meng still held his two little golden eagles with a vigilant face------ this is something that he has fed little by little, but he can't be a snack for this big lynx!

How the character of the Tsarist Russians is understood, just look at their pets。。。。。

Natasha brought Yang Meng her own brewed 'kvass'. This is tantamount to showing that they are pure Tsarist Russians。。。。。。

If there is any favorite drink of the Tsarist Russians, the first place must be vodka, well, in their eyes vodka is indeed a drink!

In fact, this 'kvas' drink is also a relatively popular drink in the northeast of the Han Dynasty, after all, it is close to Tsarist Russia, and many living habits are somewhat similar. Especially in Harbin, there are a lot of people who drink this.

This 'kvas' can be understood as a low-alcohol beer brewed using rusk fermentation. On the Tsarist side of Russia, almost every household brewed this thing.

In fact, the method is not difficult, that is, the 'big leba' is repeatedly baked and baked into rusks, cut into small pieces, poured into a bottle, add sugar and raisins to it, and then stir the honey and yeast into a fermentation broth with water, pour the fermentation broth into the rusks, add warm water, cover with gauze, and then dry for two days, the liquid obtained in the bottle is 'kvass', and those rusks used for fermentation are taken out and put in the refrigerator to be the yeast that brews 'kvas' next time.

But swear to God, Yang Meng really doesn't like the taste of 'kvas', this thing is like durian, those who like it love it to death, and those who don't like it hate it to death. Now in the online selection of the most difficult drinks, kvass occupies a place. But in Tsarist Russia? It's really everywhere.

After Yang Meng gritted his teeth and took a big sip, the taste was like drinking wort. It's a little sour and a little sweet, and the taste is indescribable。。。。。。

Valery took out an album, and after looking at the photos of the album, Yang Meng knew why Valery stopped him.

Yang Meng's 'Ural' was bought in Outer Mongolia, with a license plate from Outer Mongolia, and Yang Meng himself was wearing a Mongolian robe, which is a person who will think that he is from Outer Mongolia!

This made Yang Meng entangled: running outside without wearing a Mongolian robe is a little scary for people to see, but it is not very pleasant for people to mistake him for a Waimeng. So he hung the Han flag on the front of the motorcycle, the sidecar, and the red flag of the Han country was sprayed on the helmet.

And Valery was attracted by the Han flag.

As a young man, he worked as a mechanic at the Irkutsk aircraft factory, and later retired here to work in mechanical repairs. Thirty years ago, Han ordered a batch of Su-27 fighters from Tsarist Russia, and Valery followed these planes to Han for technical support.

So far, the wisest thing for Han is to purchase this batch of Su-27.

At that time, the Han Air Force needed to be remodeled, and Tsarist Russia took the famous MiG-29 to negotiate with the Han State. At that time, the MiG-29 was an aircraft that shocked the world with its 'Cobra technical maneuvers'. But Han Guo did not take a fancy to it, but chose the Su-27, which looked even more bulky at that time.

As soon as this news came out, military fans of that era shouted disappointment, but the facts proved that professional things still need professional people to do.

The MiG-29 has good maneuverability, but the aircraft is too small, the combat radius is too small, and the Han country has a vast territory, and the MiG-29 is not suitable at all.

At that time, however, the Han Air Force's air force technology could only be described by the word 'outdated': The Jian-6 was flying all over the sky, the Jian-7 was considered high-end, and the Jian-8 was the 'treasure of the town'! When had the Han Air Force ever seen such an advanced aircraft? At that time, there were not even a few military airfields in the entire Han that could take off and land the Su-27, so they needed personnel from the Tsarist side to provide technical support. Valery was one of the technicians of the year.

Facts have proved that the Su-27 has made an indelible contribution to the development of the Han fighter! The Han State first opened the 'kryptonite writing wheel eye' and thoroughly ate every part of the aircraft for localization, that is, the Jian-11 fighter of the Han State, not to mention the improvement of radar fire control, and the engine has also become domestic. Then a large number of related technologies have been accumulated on the road of localizing the J-11, and only then have the grand occasion of the emergence of new fighters from generation to generation in the Han Kingdom.

At that time, when the Su-27 was localized and became the J-11, the national military fans were called happy, and in order to commend the technical personnel at that time, the state gave each of the staff of the aircraft research and development team at that time a silver medal and a cash reward of 1,100 yuan。。。。。。

So scientists are really respectable people.

In addition, there is one thing that many people do not know: the first twenty-four Su-27 fighters were really not bought with money, but 。。。。。。 Dogskins in exchange!

At that time, the former Soviet Union had just disintegrated and Tsarist Russia had just been established, the country's economy was very poor, and the economy of the Han State at that time was not good, where did you get so many dollars to make this transaction?

After repeated negotiations, the final transaction method was as follows: 30% of all the purchase price was paid in cash and 70% was used to barter. And what does Tsarist Russia want?

It's dog skin!

Today's 'dog fans' see that killing stray dogs is like killing his own mother, and in the early 90s, there was a stage when almost all the dogs in North China were killed!

Valery took out a very old fur uncle and proudly showed Yang Meng------ this is what the dog skin was made back then.

Alas, this is at least the skin of eighteen Han dogs.

(PS: At that time, bartering was not only about dog fur coats, it was just one of the items, but also clothes, slippers, socks, flashlights, hot water bottles, instant noodles, etc.) More than 5 million boxes of instant noodles alone anyway)
