Chapter 291: Sausage and Vodka
The Soviet Union has always regarded India and Pakistan as part of the core interests of national expansion, not only as an outlet to the Indian Ocean, but also as an attempt to control South Asia's billion-strong industrial population and enhance its competitiveness with the Western world.

This also shows that if a country is not self-reliant, then the land and resources they own will be plundered, and even the population will become fat in the eyes of the powerful country, and they will never escape the fate of being enslaved.
Because of the importance of it, the Soviet Union decided to invest huge forces and personally bet heavily on the start of the South Asian War!
However, this time the Red Empire gambled on its own national fortunes, and Lao Maozi knew that his domestic economy was beyond his means, and he could not support such a huge consumption of war materials, and if he lost, he would suffer heavy losses, so he could only retreat back to the Soviet Union and quietly wait for the disintegration and collapse to come.
"The Soviet Union has always oppressed poor peasants with a policy of repression, delivering farm produce directly to workers in the cities. This kind of subsidy to the cities at the expense of agriculture is really not advisable, the peasants are overexploited, and the enthusiasm for production is too low. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why the Soviet Union, which had advanced agricultural machinery and equipment, failed to harvest and reduced production year after year. Chen Xu was in the collection of the provincial library, holding a thick Russian book in his hand, standing under the bookshelf and looking at the contents through the warm winter sun.
Chen Dasan stood next to him and tilted his head to watch, although he was not proficient in foreign languages of several countries like Chen Xu, he was very good at reading and communicating. But he still knows a little Russian, and Chen Xu is reading the contents of the book next to him, so he can still understand what is said in the book intermittently.
As for the rest of the guards, they just stood guard not far away, and they didn't dare to pay attention to the books to prevent a sudden accident and would not be able to react.
Whether it was the upcoming South Asian War or the Vietnam War, it was inseparable from the Soviet Union, Chen Xu decided to stop the work of drawing during this time and concentrate on studying the political history, military and economic data of the Soviet Union.
As the great enemy of the flower planter, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can not be defeated in a hundred battles, and there are many various investigation documents on the Soviet Union in the country, and there is a whole row of books on the shelves in the provincial library that introduce the Soviet Union.
However, most of them were Russian books purchased directly from the Soviet Union, and some were in English, but all of them lacked translation and no one cared about them, and the dust on them was a centimeter thick when Chen Xu came to look through them.
"This Soviet grain production is quite high! They have a population of 270 million and 500 kilograms of food per capita, which is enough food to eat and drink. Lao Maozi's per capita food is much higher than ours, and our 1.2 billion people now have only 300 kilograms of food per capita! Chen Dasan squinted his eyes and muttered, he didn't understand that the Soviet Union's grain production was logically enough to eat, and there was still surplus grain every year. But one of the main reasons why the Soviets attacked India was also for food, and they robbed other people's homes even though they had enough to eat, this country is really too banditry!
Chen Xu blew the dust on the paper, and responded with a smile without raising his head: "Don't be confused by the numbers on the paper, Lao Maozi's officials like to announce the estimated output as the actual output, so the moisture of this data fraud is very high." The second is that their distribution system is rigid and cannot be allocated with the market, coupled with the extremely unscientific storage, transportation, processing and distribution of grain, and the waste of grain in the process of transportation is amazing, resulting in a large amount of grain rotting in the barn even in the famine year! In addition, Lao Maozi is addicted to alcohol, and he turns a large amount of grain into water to drink, and it is normal that there is not enough food to eat. ”
During the reign of the Bald Prince, the Soviet Union promoted grain cultivation on a large scale, although there was a joke about growing corn in the cold zone. But it cannot be denied that under the impetus of state power, grain production in the USSR increased year after year, and agriculture began to change for the better. However, as soon as the bald man abdicated, his reform achievements were overturned by his successor, coupled with the rise in oil prices, the Soviet Union relied on oil dividends to earn a large amount of foreign exchange, and the economic situation improved, and it was not a problem at all to import grain.
Because of the support of oil, a large number of imported grain, oil, meat, eggs and milk, the people in the Soviet Union actually did not feel the shortage of food, there were still potatoes and greasy sausages on the table, and vodka and pickled cucumbers could be served every day, not to mention how comfortable it was to live a small day. The Soviet Union is still a great empire that will tremble when the earth trembles when it stomps its feet, and ordinary people living in the empire do not feel any crisis!
However, the Soviet Union could only make money in one oil sector, and the other industrial sectors were all in a bleak situation; if it were not for public ownership, the products of these enterprises would have been divided under the control of the state, and if it were under the market economy model, 80 percent of the Soviet enterprises would have lost money and closed down. In fact, just like the 80s and 90s, under the market economy model, many old factories could not adapt to the new environment, and they closed down in patches, and the tide of bankruptcy and laid-off workers was a unique term of which era.
In the 80s, the United States began to use economic means to start the final battle of the Cold War by manipulating Middle Eastern oil and lowering the price of oil from $30 to $10. The Soviet Union's foreign exchange earnings plummeted, coupled with the decline in oil extraction and the rise in extraction costs, and it became increasingly difficult for Lao Maozi to subsidize the domestic economy with oil foreign exchange.
Originally, such a single seedling could make money, but now it has been cut off by the Americans, and the Soviet Union can't say that it is bitter!
The Soviet Union was very short of domestic supplies, and the so-called fullness was really just a matter of eating, and the only food in line was potatoes and sausages, while the supermarkets of the Americans at the same time had a dazzling array of tens of thousands of grains to choose from.
The same world hegemon, the US imperialists have already won in the details.
Of course, it was only the ordinary people of the Soviet Union who had a bad time, not including the bureaucratic class who could go to the special shops to choose imported goods, they could enjoy brandy from France, cigars from Cuba, chocolate from Switzerland, perfumes from Paris, expensive caviar, in short, luxury goods from all over the world can be seen here.
It is somewhat ironic that this kind of special shop was made in 1918, when the revolution was just beginning to open up, and the comrades could work day and night for the revolution and life, and for the sake of the newborn Soviet and Egypt. In order to keep these comrades who worked day and night fed, Lie-Nin set up a "recuperation canteen" for this purpose.
The intentions were good, but a few decades later the health canteen turned into a specialty store, a hotbed of corruption for the privileged.
Senior cadres and their children can enjoy an unparalleled comfortable life, and it can be said that the treatment of official promotion is completely different, resulting in more people sharpening their heads and wanting to squeeze into this circle, climb higher and enjoy better treatment.
But the official positions are all a turnip and a pit, the Soviet Union's official life system, the person who sits in this position does not die, and the people below do not want to come up. So Lao Maozi found another way, since the radish pit is not enough, then simply dig a few more! As a result, new government agencies were constantly being added to arrange more leading cadres, regardless of the fact that these organs overlapped.
Finally, in 1991, these so-called elites revolutionized the Red Empire! The Communist Party of the Soviet Union was the party that got rich at the funeral of its own country, and most of the party and government cadres turned into big tycoons!
As for the hot-headed masses who ate sausages and drank vodka, they listened to the demagoguery of these conspirators and enthusiastically created a rebellion against the Soviet Union. When the Soviet Union disappeared, these people found that they didn't even have to eat black bread, that they had no vodka and could only mix alcohol with water, and that they dared to pour anything containing ethanol into their mouths, such as antifreeze......
In fact, the Soviets were really not satisfied with the little food they were given on their tables, and they couldn't stand the potatoes, sausages, and brown bread all day long. They also want to enjoy the food in the special shop like the dignitaries, which is also one of the sources of motivation for them to stand up and rebel!
It has also been proven that the masses have no brains when they rush to the top, and when the elites who control the country are collectively corrupt and betray the country, ordinary people are just tools they use to achieve their goals.
In fact, the history is surprisingly similar, and the scholar class of the Ming Dynasty was also extremely corrupt, and finally directly betrayed the emperor and the entire nation and surrendered to the Tartars.
Emperor Chongzhen finally smiled bitterly and hung himself on the tree with a crooked neck to hang the southeast branch, although he still had half of the country in the south, but he was too lazy to ask for it, and died.
It took the Americans 50 years and exhausted all kinds of military, political, and diplomatic means to bring down the Soviet Union. As a result, these privileged classes have left a huge empire in the flesh and collapsed with a bang.
The real enemy often hides within, bursting out when you're at your weakest, and this fatal blow is worse than the worst attacks from outside!
"Lao Maozi is really not satisfied, they at least have meat sausages to eat! When I was a child, I ate sweet potatoes every day, and when I was studying, the only dish was salted radish strips, and I rarely ate meat. In Chen Dasan's eyes, the life of the Soviets is actually quite good, at least much richer than on the table of the Chinese people in this era.
Chen Xu looked at the book next to him, smiling and saying nothing, Chen Dasan may not have imagined that the grain production of the flower grower would be higher and higher, plus he has a huge amount of foreign exchange to buy the world's grain, and he has long been the world's largest grain importer, frantically absorbing the world's crops.
Continuously improve domestic agricultural production, but also a large number of imports, the per capita food share of flower growers has reached 450 kilograms, the price of meat, eggs and milk is not cheap, but basically can ensure sufficient supply, hunger has become history, even the laziest beggars can eat every day by picking up things!
