After a long trip of thirty-eight hours, Zhou Nan and his arrival in Moscow were already ten o'clock in the evening of the next day.

As soon as you get out of the car, you can feel that this place is different from the free and casual atmosphere of Western Europe. Before Zhou Nan and the others left the train station, they were already "protected" by the people of the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and all of them went out of the train station in a disciplined manner according to the arrangements of the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Stolko, who came to pick up the station, obviously had a lot of face here, and he was very close to many people, and Zhou Nan, an Oriental, was treated at a higher level than Westerners.

I haven't seen each other for more than a month, Zhou Nan and Stolko are very excited when they see each other, but in this oppressive environment, they are very restrained.

Zhou Nan shook his hand and said softly, "You have worked hard." ”

Stolko said with a smile: "I feel very ashamed to have wasted more than a month here. ”

"As long as you do your best, your fate will be decided by God."

Zhou Nan patted his arm, and he turned to greet Etinny and Fayward. Zhou Nan and the others followed the flow of people and walked out, and at the same time introduced Helder and Popler to Stolko.

The train station is brightly lit, and on the square outside the station, seven or eight Opel buses are parked. These cars originally belonged to Germany, and after the Soviet Union occupied East Germany, all the produced cars, complete production lines and drawings were brought back to Moscow.

This kind of car, which has a wagon front and a passenger car, is the most popular style of this era. It was not until a few decades later that it was gradually replaced by flat-headed buses.

The car walked along the brightly lit street towards the hotel where they had been arranged, and the street was brightly lit, as if the economy here was better than that of Western Europe, but the houses on both sides of the street were much darker, and many of the windows were dark.

The people in the car looked at the scenery outside curiously, and Zhou Nan was no exception. Even in another life, he had never been to the country with the largest territory in the world.

The architecture here is similar to that of Western Europe, but all the buildings seem to be one size larger, making them look thick and deep.

However, some of the newly built buildings have no architectural beauty, and the square design removes sculpture and decoration, and everything is mainly practical.

This style also influenced the country, and in the following decades, almost all the buildings in the country were like this, and everything was mainly practical.

However, Zhou Nan can also understand, because only in this way can resources be saved.

Maybe it's because this is the façade of the Soviet Union, so the people in the car took out their cameras to take pictures, and no one stopped them.

At the time of coming, the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR sent everyone a list of taboo items in the Soviet Union on the train, and in many places, it was not allowed to take pictures.

The convoy drove all the way to the National Hotel, near Red Square, on the outskirts of Red Square, across a small square, opposite the State Historical Museum of the USSR and the Kremlin's fortress in the northwest corner.

The National Hotel has six floors and is only open to foreigners. The lobby of the hotel is magnificent, and there are some souvenir shops in the lobby on the first floor.

There are restaurants on the first and second floors, several meeting rooms on the second floor, and guest rooms above the third floor. Everyone, without application and approval, can not leave the hotel and so on.

It's not early, and the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are also a little tired. They allocated rooms to everyone according to the information sheet, most of them were double rooms or triple quadruple rooms, and only a few people were entitled to single rooms.

Zhou Nan's allotted room is located in the northeast corner of the fifth floor, and since the building is a circular architectural structure, the room in this corner is not only not the worst, but the best.

Etinny they were assigned a room with only two beds, a simple toilet, a radio, and the room was also very small. But this room in Zhounan has a living room and a large balcony with a view of Red Square on the east side and the commercial street on the north side.

Zhou Nan looked at the environment here and praised Stolko: "Have you also done public relations in the process of allocating rooms, it is not an exaggeration to live in the environment here as a head of state." ”

Regardless of whether Stolco contributes or not, Zhou Nan sells well and makes him more comfortable. He was sent here for more than a month, and there was no merit and hard work.

Stolko said with a smile: "Among the people of this group of observers, your status is the highest and your fame is also the greatest. Your academic articles were published in the Soviet Union, where your reputation was no worse than that of an average head of state. ”

After sending everyone else to wash up and rest, Zhou Nan sat down on the sofa in the living room. "Tell me about the specific situation here, what went wrong with the royalty-for-food plan."

Stolko handed Etinny a cigarette, sat down across from Zhou Nan, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath before saying, "Even without our authorization, the Soviets are already translating your work." They ostensibly admit Western patents and copyrights, but they will not let this noose that is not good for them be around their necks. So, secretly, they won't follow these rules. Even if they print your book directly, you can't restrain it, so why don't you go to the United Nations and sue them? This will do them no good except offend them directly. At most, a lawsuit will be fought for several years, even decades, and in the end, they will give you a little compensation. ”

Zhou Nan knew this very well, so he proposed the royalty-for-grain plan at the beginning.

If the backward regions want to develop and catch up with the developed regions, they must avoid the roadblocks set up in front of them. Everything follows the rules, and you'll never want to catch up with them.

This covert circumvention was not well used by the Soviet Union because of the uneven development of the country's foundation. They were even dragged into the abyss of disintegration because they had been following in the footsteps of the West.

It was the future motherland that really made good use of it, which lagged behind the whole world by several decades in the eighties, but with the concerted efforts of the whole country, it took thirty years to catch up.

Zhou Nan nodded and said: "I have understood this, and I just want to know now that there is a problem in that link." ”

Stolko was actually in the game, and some things were not very thorough. He talked about his experience in the Soviet Union during this period of time, including the changes in attitudes and prevarication of all walks of life in the Soviet Union.

After listening to Stolko's speech, Zhou Nan was still pondering, and Etinny asked: "According to our agreement, Jonas's royalties will be directly transferred to the Soviet Union for twenty years, in exchange for a quota of 30,000 tons of wheat per year, which should not be worth mentioning to the Soviet Union. Moreover, there are not a lot of idle trains in the Soviet Union now, and the scheduling plan of 30,000 tons of grain, calculated according to 50 tons per wagon, that is, 600 wagons, does not seem to be very difficult to operate. But why is there such a situation where you have agreed to it but do not carry it out? ”

Indeed, 30,000 tons of grain, 600 wagons, was not worth mentioning for the USSR. In order to stabilize their control in Central Europe, they shipped more than this amount of grain every day.

At present, the confrontation between the East and the West has not intensified, and although there is antagonism between the two sides, it is more about cooperation. Only half a month has passed since the Nuremberg trials, and when Zhou Nan came here, Seth Inquart and the others were hanged.

It stands to reason that neither the face-loving strongman nor the Soviet Union would have made such a face-damaging decision to repent.

However, there is one important point in this, that is, the entire East and West, except for cooperation between countries, all people-to-people exchanges have been cut off.

Zhou Nan's current exchange of royalties for food is a personal act, and it also belongs to a people-to-people exchange, so it is very sensitive.

Hearing Zhou Nan say this, this point was also agreed by Stolko and Ettinney. "Another reason, I'm afraid, is that you work part-time in government. The Special Adviser to the Federal Council, albeit a fictitious position, is at the heart of Swiss politics. I'm afraid that the Soviets also saw that it was difficult to get any more benefits from you, so the heart of cooperation also faded. ”

Zhou Nan nodded and asked, "Working part-time in the Swiss government is the best way to protect us." Food is important, but we will not compromise on it. But if we can get this plan to go ahead, we need to work it. ”

Stolko smiled and said: "Although this country is the largest in the world, almost all power is concentrated in the hands of one person. As long as you can convince him, all difficulties will cease to be difficult. ”

Zhou Nan asked: "You should have collected a lot of reports about him recently, I need you to sort out all his recent events, I need to study his experience in the last six months and the things he has been concerned about recently, so that I can persuade him purposefully." ”

Thinking of meeting that strongman, Zhou Nan's blood boiled all over his body. Although Churchill is a cow and Adenauer is capable, they and Zhou Nan are like people from different worlds.

He lived in a different social environment for most of his life, and received a different education method and philosophy, and this sense of spiritual belonging and identity is definitely not comparable to these people.

Internationally, no matter how powerful Churchill is, in Zhou Nan's heart, he is not even comparable to any general of the motherland, let alone the leaders he respects.

And this strongman who leads communist countries all over the world, even if Zhou Nan is eccentric, it cannot be said that he is worse than the domestic leadership. After all, there are many things he did that even Hetler wanted to do but couldn't do.

Stolko stood up and said: "I have prepared all this, because I am afraid of spy rounds, so I just collected a lot of news materials, and I will tell you the specific analysis." I'll go back to my room and get those clippings now......"

Zhou Nan smiled: "After resting on the train for two days, we just happened to be able to talk all night today." ”

(It's been two days since Kavin, and the update time is also chaotic, so I'll try to adjust it later and try to return to the normal update time as soon as possible.) ）
