Chapter 922: Under the Shadow of the Nuclear

Just after the New Year of 1947, Moscow, the capital of Soviet Russia, suddenly became on alert, and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition could be seen everywhere in the city, reaching the level of three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Muscovites did not fall into an atmosphere of oppression and panic, they either stopped in the streets or leaned out of their windows, and workers in military overcoats went from house to house handing out small green, white and yellow flags, and the main streets were already hung with the red flags of Soviet Russia and the green, white and yellow flags of Ireland.

In the bright sun, a black sedan drove through Tver Avenue to Red Square, escorted by several military three-wheeled motorcycles, and then crossed Red Square into the Kremlin. In one of the Irish-made "Liberty" bulletproof cars, Natsuki quietly looks out at the street scene through the one-sided transparent window. The red square in the sight is still the image in memory, the red star on the top of the Kremlin is still there, but "Soviet Russia" and "Soviet Union" are by no means just the difference in titles, today's Soviet Russia has only inherited part of the territory of the old Tsarist Russia, and the rich Ukraine and the lush vegetation of Belarus were separated at the end of World War I, and existed as an independent state for more than 20 years, and it is no longer realistic to take it back.

Although the territory has shrunk, the strength and toughness of this fighting nation have not been compromised at all. During his 15 years in power, Soviet Russia successfully implemented the 4th, 5th, and 6th Five-Year Plans, continuously improved the degree of agricultural modernization and industrial streamlining, significantly improved infrastructure such as medical care, education, and transportation, and took on a new look of the country, and greatly improved the scale and quality of the defense and military industry. And through the Japanese-Soviet War of 1942-1944, the ability and strength of the Soviet and Russian armies to adapt to modern warfare were demonstrated to the world.

During the days of Tsarist Russia, Natsuki visited St. Petersburg several times and was impressed by it, and this was his first time in Russia since the establishment of Soviet power, making him the fourth European monarch to visit Soviet Russia after King Gustav V of Sweden, King Frederick William I of Latvia, and King Edward VIII of England. The visit, nominally a polite response to the three visits of Russian Prime Minister Bubnov to Ireland, was in fact an intermediary between the sudden tensions between the Soviet Union and Germany -- for several months, Germany and Austria-Hungary had joined forces to carry out a purge of revolutionary organizations in Poland, and the Russian side had provided military assistance to the Polish underground resistance for various reasons, and the German military had blamed a large part of the responsibility for the volunteers and weapons that the Soviet Union had provided to the Poles in the face of unfavorable progress of the purge. The Russian government openly explained that aiding Poland was not an official act, but a private action of some non-governmental organizations, and that they would thoroughly investigate the matter, severely punish the relevant personnel, and prevent similar times from continuing to occur, but this kind of official statement could neither satisfy Germany and Austria, nor solve the actual problem. Thus, on an unofficial occasion, a senior German general declared that if the Russian government refused to stop interfering in Polish affairs and compensate Germany and Austria-Hungary for its losses, they would be devastated by 100 nuclear bombs, and cities including Moscow, Leningrad, Volgograd, and Yekaterinburg would be razed to the ground, and Russia's history would be erased.

The Russians have always been not afraid of threats, and in the face of rumors that "100 nuclear bombs have leveled Soviet Russia", the leaders firmly stated through newspapers and broadcasts that the Russian army is capable of blocking enemy planes carrying nuclear bombs on the national border, so as to appease the anxious Russian people. In fact, at the rate of production of nuclear materials in Germany, by the end of 1946 there were up to 4-5 atomic bombs stored in the arsenal, and if necessary, they could increase the rate of production several times to the point of making 1-2 bombs per month, and even then it would take several years to make up a hundred nuclear bombs. Therefore, the razing of Soviet Russia with 100 nuclear bombs" is definitely an exaggerated intimidation, even so, the non-nuclear countries and the nuclear countries are already in an unequal position psychologically, and the nuclear bomb technology of the Germans is like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Russians, which may be decapitated in an instant at any time. You must know that Moscow is less than 1,000 kilometers away from the German air base in Latvia, and the Luftwaffe's best-performing bombers are deployed there, with excellent flight performance and strong protection capabilities, which are by no means "guaranteed to be shot down" by Soviet and Russian fighters, and just half a year ago, the Germans successfully used this bomber to conduct a nuclear bomb airdrop test, thus greatly enhancing the strategic deterrence of nuclear weapons!

In this special and delicate period of the situation, the visit of the new United Kingdom monarch to Soviet Russia on a state visit has undoubtedly given the Russian top leadership hope for a new path. With the exception of Japan, which claims to have mastered nuclear weapons technology but has never produced reliable proof, there are only three countries in the world that possess nuclear bombs: Germany, the United States, and Ireland. Although these countries provided a large amount of military aid to Soviet Russia in the early 40s in order to jointly suppress Japan, based on ideological antagonism, they would never easily share nuclear weapons technology with Soviet Russia - the German government's position is undoubtedly the most resolute, and the US government seems to be easier to talk, but as their strategic territory returns to the western Pacific, the strategic competition between the United States and the Soviet Union is quietly emerging, not to mention that today's America is no longer the liberal and democratic America that it was before World War II. Its economic lifeline is controlled by European capital, and its politics, diplomacy, and military are all in collusion with the Western allies......

Returning to Moscow, the Kremlin, Natsuki, dressed in a rustic uniform, stepped out of the car and shook hands with the oncoming Soviet and Russian leaders such as Sverdlov, Bubnov, Bukharin, Stalin, and Kamenev. Of course, these people in front of them would not know that without Natsuki, the butterfly that stirred history, the vast majority of them would not have survived 1940, and Comrade Stalin, who stood inconspicuously among the crowd, would not have served as a "green leaf" for a long time in the position of vice chairman of the People's Commissariat and member of the ****** Committee, and Soviet Russia would never have been what it is today.

After Natsuki shook hands with everyone, Sverdlov, who was 61 years old at the time, said to him with a smile: "There have been wild talks about using atomic bombs to wipe Moscow off the face of the earth, and the presence of the respected king of the United Kingdom is not only a sincere support for the Russian people, but also a powerful counterattack to the provocateurs. So, dear king, on behalf of the 140 million Russian people, I would like to express to you my sincerest gratitude! ”

Sverdlov not only smiled openly, but also the optimism, confidence, wisdom, and open-mindedness revealed in his words made Natsuki look up to him. However, the revolutionary output of Soviet Russia was huge, and for a long time the heads of monarchs of European countries were shocked, and in order to quell the turmoil in Wales, Natsuki also took a lot of effort, and he was still a little worried about this, so he said meaningfully: "I have been friends with the Russian people for many years. ”

When Sverdlov heard this, he raised his head and laughed heartily.

"Indeed, for nearly thirty years Russia and Ireland have cooperated more and more closely in all fields, and Ireland's weapons technology has played an important role in the defeat of Japan by our armies in the Eastern theater, and we have long regarded Ireland as our closest partner in Europe. Moreover, the king took freedom, democracy, and equality as his national motto, and governed Ireland and Wales in an orderly manner, and the people wanted to do so, and he was a model for a civilized country, and there are many places for us to learn and emulate! ”

Xia Shu raised his eyebrows, it seems that as the earliest revolutionary and leader of Soviet Russia, Sverdlov not only has excellent organizational skills, but also his mind and courage are commendable, so he changed his words: "The United Kingdom, with Ireland as the cornerstone of the country, adheres to the national motto of freedom, democracy and equality in Ireland, and tries to eliminate class differences and the gap between the rich and the poor internally, establishes a national welfare system based on free education and free medical care, and takes safeguarding the right to human existence and maintaining peace and order externally. It can be said that such a United Kingdom has got rid of most of the drawbacks of the traditional constitutional monarchy, and has formed a form of government that integrates **** and democracy, although it is not as good as the ideal country in your faith, but in some respects, it is the best choice under the current ideological and technical conditions. ”

Sverdlov did not argue, but looked at his comrades meaningfully and said with a smile: "Dear king, if this topic is to be seriously discussed, we will have to talk about it here for three days and three nights. Come on! We have prepared delicious refreshments for you to sit down and talk about something else, such as ...... How can we resolve this troublesome international dispute at hand? ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Natsuki responded with a smile. As Sverdlov said, ideological theories can be debated endlessly, good and bad, good and bad, strong and weak, and only through constant practice and repeated comparisons can a fair conclusion be reached. Whether it is the Soviet Union in this time and space, or the Soviet Union in the old time and space, they all have the disadvantages of **** rule at home, emphasizing national defense over people's livelihood, and forgetting their interests and forgetting their righteousness and capriciousness externally. Although the Soviet and Russian governments promised to return the northeastern region to China, they refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Wang puppet regime on the grounds that the Japanese-supported Wang puppet regime had been unable to enter the League of Nations for a long time, resulting in the withdrawal of troops remaining on paper.
