Chapter 761: Japan Rises
"It's going well, little by little, sooner or later there will be a decisive battle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Serov said, holding the battle report of the past few days. Taking the Great Patriotic War as an example, similar to the Battle of Stalingrad, a battle to the death, in which millions of troops on both sides fought each other, although the blood was raging, but in fact the battle was fought for more than eight months. Whether it was a thousand miles of collapse at the beginning or a Jedi counterattack later, it was only a few days, and most of the time both sides were bored with cold shots house by house, and you died and I died and I fought for consumption.
If the Soviet Union does not withdraw its troops from Turkey, it is estimated that the current Turkey and the Soviet army will also face this situation. However, there is such a shameless person as the General Political Commissar to make a plan, and the withdrawal of the Soviet Union will be absolutely unhesitating, and it will not even consider post-war reconstruction, which is completely a matter for the Kurds themselves.
The current situation of the Angolan civil war is that UNITA retreats while firing cold shots, and waits until it retreats to a place that he is very familiar with, and finds an opportunity to clean up the SPLM and the Cuban coalition forces.
Compared with the current Angolan civil war and the Thai civil war, Serov is more concerned about how the local area network in Portugal is currently working, of course, the Soviet-aided computers are full of socialist private goods, the purpose is to help Portugal's current leftist government stabilize the situation, the risk of a military coup in this small country has always existed, but it has failed twice so far, and you don't know when the third time will come.
If the Cuban army can neutralize the South African army, the SPLM should have won the victory over UNITA with both manpower and support. The only thing that raises doubts is the guerrilla warfare, and if the guerrilla warfare does not stop, the Soviet Union will still have little certainty that it will be able to gain benefits from Angola, and the Guerrillas in Angola rely on the rainforest for the greatest reliance.
Serov was going to talk to the head of the Central Forestry Department about this, and as a person who grew up in a forest area, he thought that he knew a little about forestry resources, at least a little rudimentary. The most superficial understanding is that there is no forest that the lumberjacks can't cut down, just to see if they want to cut it.
"Tropical rainforests have a distinct advantage over cold forests, and that is the rate of growth. Coniferous forests grow very slowly because they are in the cold zone, and once an area is cut down, it takes at least twenty or thirty years of rest to regain its vitality, and it is only a preliminary recovery. But the rainforest has thirty years and can be completely restored to its original state. So for China's forest resources, in principle, can we think of a way? Serov looked like an environmentalist, and in fact asked the Central Forestry Department to consider whether to complete part of the logging task in Angola.
"But what about the lumberjacks? This will result in relatively large unemployment, which is not in line with our national proposition. The Minister of Forestry of the Central Committee said with some embarrassment, but this reason is obviously untenable.
Serov looked at the other party silently, and said to himself, "This has nothing to do with the unemployment rate, in fact, if Comrade Minister had been able to care a little about the Ministry of Agriculture, he would have known how terrible the shortage of manpower in the collective farms of our country is, there are enough machines, but no one uses them." Is it more tiring to be a collective farm worker than to be a lumberjack? Shouldn't that be the case? I think it's something else. ”
As the General Political Commissar, Serov once personally killed the textile industry in the Soviet Union, which needed the most manpower, and saved manpower to invest in the collective farms, which not only stabilized the gap in the population of the collective farms, but also because a large part of the textile industry was in Russia, and the raw materials were in the Central Asian countries.
The population of the USSR was far from being able to afford heavy industry, light industry and agriculture at the same time, and in this case heavy industry and agriculture were of course very important, and the only way to cut them was light industry, and the Soviet leadership did not fail to see this, so the theory of international division of labor and international dictatorship appeared, so that other countries could supplement everything that the Soviet Union needed.
In fact, now the Soviet Union has almost completed everything it needs, and even the most scarce tropical raw materials in history have been solved, and it is more confident to fight with the United States for the economy. If there is anything that the country still lacks, that is, the agricultural population, the Soviet Union could not do the two million mechanized agricultural population of the United States, feed the entire American and export relief to other countries, nor can it do the intensive cultivation of hundreds of millions of peasants like China, but the shortage of agricultural personnel should at least be made up, so that the risk can be more bearable.
Obviously, the minister of the Central Forestry Department in front of him does not have a noble sense of sacrifice and is not very willing to sacrifice his own department. This is all because of the fear that their department will not be taken seriously in the future, and in fact it will not be taken very seriously now.
"Tikunov, it's up to you, you, the oil tiger, must have influence in the government, let the Central Forestry Department consider laying off loggers, even if it means cutting 100,000 people, Angola and Thailand are rich in forestry resources, and they will definitely make money in the future, our forest growth cycle is too long, and it is not suitable to export raw materials at all." I didn't say that you can't export at all, just reduce some of the harvesting to save manpower. "After the head of the Central Forestry Department left, Serov carried out verbal bombardment on Tikunov, so that the general political commissar would not lose face, is it not an investigation?
"I want to find a way, don't worry." Tikunov immediately expressed his willingness to help, how can the Central Forestry Department have such a high status as the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, especially now that the price of oil has risen sharply. For the modern industry, as long as oil is produced, there will never be a situation where it cannot be sold.
Rambouillet is a summer resort in France, especially in the hot months of July and August, when French presidents often work here. The Cambouillet Forest was very lively this year, welcoming the head of the capitalist power at one time, and in this sense, France received a very great honor, and even the leftist parties, including the French Communist Party, had to admit that this was a good opportunity to establish the prestige of France, and the French, as the host, presided over this summit.
President Ford also had great respect for France and personally flew to France to attend the summit. Of course, it would be better if Italy's prime minister was replaced by another person, for Behringer, who is also the general secretary of the Italian Communist Party, Ford has some mustard in his heart, especially under the increasingly obvious offensive of the Soviet Union, if Italy learns from Greece, then NATO will interfere or not?
Taking this opportunity, President Ford also chatted with Behringer for a while, which is to get to know the leader of the Italian Communist Party, in fact, Italy's economy is much better than in history, there is no obvious gap with Britain, France and Germany, and it is a representative of the European capitalist powers, but obviously the role of the Soviet Union in it is huge, Italy's biggest advantage compared with Britain, France and Germany is that from time to time the Communist Party is in power, and the Soviet Union conducts mutually beneficial trade.
"Mr. Prime Minister, President Ford and Prime Minister Behringer are talking, are we going to go?" Günther Guillaume reminded the Federal Chancellor Brandt that the Federal Republic of Germany attached great importance to this meeting. Chancellor Brandt of the Federal Republic of Germany, including Chancellor Brandt, saw this as an opportunity for the United States to recognize the status of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Thirty years after the end of the Second World War, Germany was divided into two camps, with the GDR on either side. Moreover, the recent expansion of the Federal Republic of Germany has caused dissatisfaction in the GDR. Chancellor Brandt of the Federal Republic of Germany believes that Americans should be made to understand that the countries of Western Europe are no longer in ruins, and that the rights of the entire capitalist country should also be redivided.
"Okay, let's go over and have a look." Getting the United States to recognize the current economic status of the Federal Republic of Germany is the main purpose of Chancellor Brandt of the Federal Republic of Germany, otherwise the capitalist countries will compete with each other, and the Warsaw Pact will sit back and watch, and sooner or later there will be problems, and they will not be able to solve the economic crisis with the Soviet Union as soon as it comes.
After greeting the leaders of several countries, they entered the residence provided by France, and the whole process was seen by Günther Guillaume, who would also participate in the whole meeting as Brandt's assistant.
President Ford also understood that the time had come to divide the interests again, and that the economies of Japan and the Federal Republic of Germany were so strong that they could not be supplemented only by the United States. If the United States forcibly presses the two countries to continue to be the supporting system of American industry and makes the two countries stagnate, the two countries that have lost the development war will certainly be very dissatisfied.
The allies of the Soviet Union were all countries with a small area and a small population, while the allies of the United States, on the contrary, were small in size and had a large population, and at the same time in the seventies, the entire Warsaw Pact was short of people, but NATO had an economic crisis with a 10 percent unemployment rate.
"The United States is willing to work with France, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan, and Italy to get through this economic crisis and adjust some policies to achieve fairer free trade." After several days of negotiations, US President Gerald Ford finally expressed his opinion at the summit.
"The United States has opened its market and allowed other capitalist countries to compete!" Serov can decipher the meaning of this declaration, and the specific things will have to wait for the news from Günther Guillaume, as if Japan should take off. (To be continued.) )
