"But we didn't find any new large oil fields. "As a technocrat www.biquge.info Ryzhkov, unlike the cadres of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Propaganda Department, can quickly comprehend the essence of the general secretary's speech, and needs to study more.

"That's why I said suspicious! While stabilizing people's hearts, it also has other effects. "Who doesn't want their country to be rich in land and resources, and all resources are inexhaustible. Unless it's the kind of comparison between Dubai and the DRC. Of course, the Soviet people also want to hear some good news, and hard work is certainly valuable, but in other words, anyone prefers to lie down and count money.

This news was mainly released to the United States, and Serov could not pull Reagan's ears and say that it was time for you to suppress oil prices, but could only remind his opponent with such a piece of news. It is impossible to find a second Tyumen oil field, but there are still oil fields that can be exploited in the territory of the USSR, in Central Siberia, so this is not a rumor.

"There's no shortage of supply right now, right?" Serov asked Ryzhkov that he was very dissatisfied with the Soviet Union's use of administrative means to lower prices, because the consequence of this was to force the Soviet Union to find more support for foreign countries.

The Soviet Union's own national capacity was not enough to support the current low prices, and the growth in the Soviet Union during the Brezhnev period was actually not as good as that under Khrushchev, which could make ordinary people feel the improvement in the quality of life. Naturally, it was because the Soviet Union took advantage of the contraction of the United States to launch a global offensive and supported many pro-Soviet countries to make up for the shortcomings of the Soviet Union.

"The supply of tea is relatively tight, especially black tea, and the inventory has dropped to a very dangerous level." Ryzhkov picked out several products that were in the tightest supply. Soviets have a tradition of drinking tea, on average six times as many as Americans and more than twice as many as in China.

"Can you only drink black tea? If not, import some green tea. The production of green tea in China is several times that of black tea, and green tea is also very beneficial, for example! Serov thought for a moment, thinking about the advantages of green tea, the general secretary does not drink tea, so he needs to think a little more, and said nonsense: "For example, if you look at the obesity rate of Chinese, it is related to their eating habits." ”

As for whether it really matters, or whether China is still very poor and cannot afford to eat, the average Soviet person will know? It's not how the government propagandizes, but how ordinary people listen. If it doesn't work, you can only spread some false news, such as the general secretary usually drinks green tea, not only drinks green tea, but also goes to find a green tea......

"After importing, the price must be higher, just say that China is already a market economy! In the propaganda, you can look for some historical factors and Chinese legends, which are said to have been originally supplied to the royal family. "Of course, this responsibility is not the general secretary's, and it is completely acceptable that the tribute tea supplied to the emperor is a little more expensive. A few years to be able to cheat is a few years.

Khrushchev often fooled the other side through his contagion, Serov did not have this kind of contagion, but when it came to fabricating false evidence, no one in the entire Soviet Union was more professional than him, as long as he insisted that it was true, it would be true.

Almost overnight, news of the exploration of large oil fields in Central Siberia spread throughout the Soviet Union, and the official channels were only a few strokes of the Komsomol Pravda, and the KGB's fake propaganda department now has more and more of a eight-force demeanor, and it can analyze the truth of heaven and earth in a single sentence, not to mention several sentences.

At the same time, the theory of the Siberian treasury was propagated, the future of the USSR lay in the development of Siberia, and so on. According to rough estimates from prospecting materials, the resources of Siberia are close to two-thirds of the total resources of the Soviet Union.

Serov's shouting as general secretary is certainly not appropriate, and after thinking about it, he pushed out Ryzhkov, who was not very capable and had no qualifications at all, to add another fire to this argument, "As long as the potential of Siberia is fully realized, the Soviet Union will become an unprecedentedly powerful country, and whether or not the intermediate stage of socialism is realized depends on whether the potential of Siberia can be fully developed, and the Soviet Union will far surpass all countries at that time." ”

The general secretary needs some people to be enthusiastic and dedicate their youth to the large-scale development of the eastern region. Fooling ordinary people to go over there is a risk for the country. The beautiful Siberia that people say by word of mouth actually exists only in the plans of the country's leaders with the country as a blueprint and in the poems sung by the poets, which looks beautiful.

When you really get there, ordinary people know how unfriendly it is to humans. China still can't stop the continuous population decline in Northeast China, and if the Soviet Union opens up, within 30 years, all small and medium-sized cities in Siberia will become Chernobyl, an excellent wasteland movie location.

When something becomes a hot topic, ordinary people will not be able to meet the requirements if they do not join the discussion. In particular, after Ryzhkov, the head of the Central Economic Department, was pushed out by the general secretary to fight the thunder, the icy and snowy Siberia was dressed up as a huge colorful bubble by the central government, and some secretaries of local Siberian party committees also joined the craze. He said that the place he leads is a virgin land that needs to be changed, and he urgently needs talent to change.

The Soviet Union set off a boom in the development of Siberia, and all kinds of blueprints and all kinds of grand plans that were drawn. It soon reached the ears of the greatest enemy, the United States, that the American media cared about the Soviet Union as much as the Soviet Propaganda Department cared about the United States, on the contrary, they did not care much about their own country.

"The slave who is aware of his slave status and fights against it, is a revolutionary. A slave who is unaware of his slave status and relish in appreciating the wonderful slave life and grateful to a kind and kind master is a slave, a shameless! Serov's comments on Federal Chancellor Kohl during his meeting with the leaders of the GDR were similarly spreading. This means that the so-called Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic is nothing more than a dog in Reagan's hands, or the kind that has not unchained.

"As if the GDR were not!" This can only be said in private, and on a formal occasion, Reagan expressed shock at Serov's public insult to the leader of an economic power, and justifiably accused Serov of not being like a calm leader of a great power.

"Neither are you!" Brezhnev will definitely not deal with Reagan, but it is a pity that Serov's mentor is Khrushchev's big fool, pulling Reagan to talk every day, and his own reputation is ruined, which cannot make Reagan leave a lofty impression.

Internationally, if only Reagan performs alone, facing Brezhnev or Andropov, these two will definitely not focus on taking advantage of their mouths, both of them are old. But not refuting that allowing Reagan to perform to his heart's content creates the impression that the United States is aggressive and the Soviet Union does not react.

The international community can see the hostility when they meet Serov, who is also worthy of the other party, and they can also see the Soviet leader like Khrushchev, but they cannot see the aggressive offensive of the United States. The performance of the two people will not reflect the image of Reagan's cold fighter, and the two protagonists will naturally distract Rigan from the attention he should have received.

Reagan, who was born in Hollywood, quickly noticed this, even if American public opinion has defined the other party's unprecedented opponent as a villain, but he must admit that this villain seems to be too strong, can't he be stupid?

When Ryzhkov, head of the Central Economic Department of the USSR, convened a conference to assess the value of Siberia, Reagan could not sit still. Siberia is indeed difficult to develop, but if there are results, no one will underestimate the Soviet Union, which uses Siberian resources.

Reagan himself has the idea of suppressing oil prices, but all decisions have a first-come, first-come, not one policy today, one policy tomorrow, Reagan, who has just finished the Plaza Accord, but also look at all kinds of follow-up, positive consequences and negative effects. Only then do you make the next decision to supplement it.

But the Soviet Union's move to develop Siberia made Reagan, who was ready to wait a little longer, begin to seriously consider it. The territory of the Soviet Union is more than twice that of the United States, and although it is not good to develop agriculture in the tundra, there are a lot of resources, not only a lot but also a rare place with rich resources, and now that the Soviet Union is so strong, it will be more difficult for the United States to deal with the resources of Upper Siberia.

"The Soviet Union has a lot of land and resources, and the Soviet system is indeed too powerful for the government, and if you really want to mobilize manpower to develop Siberia, there is really a possibility of success." Reagan did not like any news of a possible Soviet build-up, including, of course, the development of Siberia, and immediately recruited his close comrade-in-arms, CIA Director Casey.

"Of course, the callous decision-makers in the Soviet Union could have developed such a policy." CIA Director Casey also struggled with Serov, and although he squeezed into the decision-making level of the White House, the other party had already become the general secretary. The KGB received more support than the CIA.

"The big spy leader had a good idea, but he forgot one thing." Reagan smiled deeply, "The cost of extracting all kinds of resources in Siberia is very high, and the country with the lowest cost is our ally of the United States. ”

Casey was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly. Reagan nodded in the same way, and two weeks later, Reagan announced his visit to Saudi Arabia. And Saudi King Fahd? Root? Abdul? Aziz met. As soon as they met, Reagan proposed that Saudi Arabia should increase oil production and implement a "reverse oil shock" strategy. Maximize the supply of oil to the world market and bring down the current world oil price.

"With the current price of oil, many countries can hit Saudi Arabia, including the Soviet Union, Mexico, and even Iran. A reverse attack on these oil-producing countries would defeat these rivals and keep the price of world oil in Saudi Arabia's own hands. Reagan said without mince words.
