Chapter 1246: The Abacus of the Soviet Union and the United States
However, during the meeting, China did not name and advised certain countries not to wantonly sell sophisticated weapons to China's neighboring countries, and not to sell sophisticated weapons to India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other countries.
In the face of China's rogue language, it came up with solid evidence for a while, and its own hands and feet were not clean, so the United States had no choice but to pinch its nose and endure it.
At the same time, in order to deepen the relationship between the two countries, the two countries will further deepen economic, commercial, technological, and technological exchanges, and China and the United States will jointly fund the cultivation of human resources.
In order to win China's continued acquiescence to the United States' expansion of its use of force in the Caribbean and to win China to stop secretly supporting Grenada and Cuba, the United States has no choice but to make some concessions in some respects, hoping that China will support the United States at the Security Council, or at least not veto the US motion.
The Soviets did not have so much trouble, and their envoys came here for a very simple purpose, and there was no cover-up. The first purpose is to thank China for extending a helping hand to Grenada and helping them stop the U.S. invasion of Grenada's small country.
Although China has made a lot of money by selling sophisticated weapons at too high prices in the process of helping Grenada, it is insignificant compared to the results achieved by these weapons, and these weapons have really helped Grenada slap the United States in the face, and the price of weapons is worth more than anything else, no matter how high the price of weapons is. They hope that China will continue to support Grenada and Cuba. However, they do not want China to stretch out its hand too long, not to deliberately influence Grenada's internal affairs, and not to try to pull Grenada to China's side and become an enemy of the Soviet Union in the future.
The second purpose of the Soviet envoy was to hope that China would buy more minerals, oil, and timber from the Soviet Union, and now the Soviet Union was really short of money. In addition, the weather in the past two years has been bad, the Soviet Union's grain production has been greatly reduced, and their limited foreign exchange reserves have been used to import grain to fill the huge hole of the Afghan war, and they really have no money to do other things, and they hope that China can purchase more of their things.
They knew that the Soviet Union really didn't have much to offer except for its natural resources, and that they didn't want to sell their metallurgical and aerospace technologies, so they could only make up their minds about the huge amount of minerals, oil, and timber. Willing to sell to China at a price lower than the international market by 10% or even 20%.
They also encouraged China to say that China and the Soviet Union were neighbors, that there were railways connecting them, that the Soviet Union had reduced the price by 20 percent, and that with the low freight, China actually made much more money cheaper than 20 percent.
In addition to thanking China for helping in Grenada, it lowered the price of minerals, timber, oil, etc., and sold them to China in large quantities. They also hoped that China would export more large-scale integrated circuits and light industrial products to the Soviet Union. It can be settled in international currency, barter, or in RMB.
Now, through the efforts of the state, the renminbi has become a hard currency in many countries, although it is not yet an international currency, but it is not far from the international currency, in many Middle Eastern countries and many small countries, the use of the renminbi is almost as convenient as the use of the dollar.
The USSR offered to settle in RMB-currency. It can be said to be a concession and a sign of promoting the internationalization of the RMB. You must know that the Soviet Union allowed the renminbi to be used for trade settlement between the two countries, then the Warsaw Pact countries under the leadership of the Soviet Union will definitely follow suit, and the renminbi can be promoted to many countries. Although the size of the Warsaw Pact's economy is much smaller than that of NATO. But not to be underestimated. Moreover, the use of the dollar is restricted in these countries, and the Soviet ruble is the most widely used in the warsaw Pact's state-to-state trade exchanges.
Once the renminbi became the main currency in circulation within the Warsaw Pact, even if it did not reach the level of equal to the ruble, it would be added to the circulation of the renminbi in other countries. Enough for it to become the second largest international currency after the dollar.
In addition to sending two big gifts and hoping to get back two cakes from China, the Soviet Union also hoped that China would purchase less grain from the world. Don't raise food prices too high.
This life is different from the previous life, when China began to stop importing grain, but instead exported grain, because after several years of popularization of the contract responsibility system for joint production, the peasants in the rural areas burst out with sky-high enthusiasm, and grain output increased by a large margin. Although the grain is just enough to make ends meet, in exchange for precious foreign exchange, the country still grits its teeth and exports grain to the international market.
Therefore, when the Soviet Union purchased grain on a large scale in the international market because of a lack of grain, international grain prices never rose much, and the Soviet Union exhausted its own foundation to maintain the minimum demand for domestic grain.
However, in this life, China not only did not export grain, but in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the price reform and to prevent social turmoil due to the price reform and the abolition of the dual-track price system, China purchased grain on a large scale in the international arena to prevent it, and this promoted the rise of international grain prices.
In addition, the IIC company also took advantage of the opportunity of China's large-scale grain procurement to engage in grain speculation in the international grain market, especially in the grain futures market, which further aggravated the shock of grain prices and made it difficult for the Soviet Union to sleep and eat.
In fact, there is another difference between China and the previous life, that is, in order to protect the environment, in order to prevent farmers from wantonly destroying the environment in order to increase production, under Guo Zhuocheng's construction, China did not promote the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides as in the previous life, and the state deliberately raised the purchase price of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so that farmers have to choose, think and compare in terms of grain production and inputs, and at the same time continue to instill environmental protection knowledge in farmers, and publicize that a place without pollution should be left for future generations.
In addition to appropriately raising the prices of pesticides and fertilizers, under Guo Zhuocheng's proposal, China banned the production and sale of pesticides that are too toxic, have a long toxic residue period, and have a great destructive effect on various organisms, such as hexahexane, DDT, toxaphene, dibromochloropropane, amidine, dibromoethane, dichlorobic, and so on.
Without these "efficient" pesticides, China's grain production has not increased as dramatically as in previous generations. In addition, Qionghai Island has diverted the grain planting area to a large scale for cultivating fruits, which has also had a negative effect on the increase in grain production......
These factors were superimposed, and the prices in the international grain market remained high, and the Soviet Union was miserable. Therefore, the Soviet Union took out two major gifts to ask China to open up the net, not to grab any more grain from them, and even if they want to buy it, they should not import a large amount of food from the Soviet Union, China also imports a large number of them, and it is completely possible to stagger the time.
China naturally laughed at the gift package sent by the Soviet Union, but it will not be so refreshing to do what the Soviet Union demanded, China has coveted the Soviet Union's aerospace technology, military science and technology, and metallurgical technology for a long time, and this time it will dig up a little bit no matter what it says. Although China has now obtained relevant technology from the United States, the Soviet Union has Soviet characteristics, and it would be great if Soviet and American high technology could be combined? It's so beautiful that I can't sleep when I think about it.
Obviously, this is a difficult negotiation, and it will take a long time to bargain to decide what each side gains and loses.
The United States and the Soviet Union all came for a purpose, so Britain and France naturally did not send people to China to make soy sauce, they also had their own goals and their own ideas. Europe, although it has been closely following the ass of the United States, has its own ideas and wants to make decisions for itself, otherwise there would be no such thing as the European Union.
Now they see that the United States is also a paper tiger, and as long as China waves its hand, the United States will have a tooth flying out, which makes them see that China is strong and at the same time see the hope of breaking away from the United States.
The U.S. invasion of Grenada not only showed Britain and France that the United States was not as strong as they imagined, but also showed them the weakness of the Soviet Union, which was incapable of even helping Grenada resist the United States, and could only protest in vain and condemn helplessly. This fully shows that the Soviet Union is not as strong as it seems, and the last siege and annihilation of Afghanistan was far from being the Soviet Union itself boasted that they took the initiative to attract resistance groups to come and annihilate them in order to gather and annihilate them, but they were forced to respond to the battle, suffered a sudden blow, and finally fled in a hurry.
If it weren't for their luck, if it weren't for their mysterious special forces team that happened to kill the experts in the United States, disrupted the command structure of the resistance, and left the resistance group leaderless, then the Soviet division would have been completely annihilated, and it would have become a joke all over the world: it is a military miracle that a regular army division was completely annihilated by a group of rabble.
There are already signs that the Soviet special forces were able to destroy the Resistance's headquarters because of the assistance of Chinese-backed Resistance. This special combat team landed at the defense of this resistance group, and from this place it entered the headquarters, and then returned to the landing place after completing the sneak attack.
Although in the end, this special combat team was completely annihilated by this resistance organization, it cannot be avoided that this resistance organization is killing people and deliberately eliminating the traces of China's interference.
However, with the in-depth investigation of the US side, there are more and more traces of China's meddling in this matter, and it is becoming more and more obvious, and some agents have also found evidence of China's alliance with the Soviet Union from Moscow, and it is only through this incident that mutual trust has emerged, so that the relationship between China and the Soviet Union is improving step by step.
There was even intelligence that the special combat team that destroyed the headquarters of the resistance was not really sent by the Soviet Union, because the body of the slain special operator was transported back by the United States for autopsy and it was found that he was not a person who had lived in the Soviet Union for a long time, but a southerner who had lived in a hot and dry place for a long time.
