The grave of empires, Afghanistan has once again preserved its honor with a resounding fact.

There are two sides to the story, there are pros and there are cons, and Afghanistan has preserved the honor of its imperial grave, which means that the Soviet Union has been completely tragic.

The Soviet Union is the largest in terms of territory, but with such a large territory, there is not a decent warm-water port. The search for a warm-water port has been the most urgent desire of the Russian people since the days of Tsarist Russia.

The implementation of the southward strategy can not only obtain warm water ports and outlets in the Indian Ocean, but also cut off the connection between the Far East and Europe, and the control of Afghanistan is the most crucial step in realizing the southward strategy.

When Afghanistan was still under British control, Russia and Britain fought for Afghanistan, and they were very happy.

In 1919, after Afghanistan was studied, the Soviet Union continued to interfere in Afghanistan's internal affairs and constantly launched coups to support its own proxies, but Afghanistan was too chaotic, and there were always people making trouble, so that the Soviet Union could never realize its intention to control Afghanistan.

This made the Soviet Union realize that in order to truly control Afghanistan, it had to send troops itself.

On the one hand, the Soviet Union was preparing to invade Afghanistan, and on the other hand, waiting for the opportunity, the Iranian hostage crisis broke out, and the Soviet Union thought that the opportunity had come, so it invaded Afghanistan.

The Soviet army was formidable, and in just one week, it occupied roughly the entire territory of Afghanistan, basically completed the occupation of major cities and transportation arteries in Afghanistan, and controlled the border areas between Afghanistan and Pakistan and Afghanistan and Iran.

However, the mighty Soviet troops did not realize that the troubles were just beginning.

In short, in a word, the Soviet Union began to bleed, and although the wound was not large, it could never heal, and there was no hope of healing.

After realizing this, especially after Gorbachev came to power in 1985 and became general secretary of the CPSU, the Soviet Union began to want to withdraw from Afghanistan.

On February 17, 19**, the last Soviet soldier was evacuated from Afghanistan, and the war in Afghanistan ended completely.

The ten-year war in Afghanistan caused the originally extremely strong polar bear to lose a lot of blood, and also made the sworn enemy United States see the opportunity to defeat the polar bear for the first time.

In the strategy of the United States, if it wants to defeat the polar bear, it is necessary to start with the weakness of the Soviet Union, and the weakest point of the Soviet Union is the economy.

Therefore, on the one hand, Reagan's political axe launched the Star Wars program that was hidden from the world, and on the other hand, he desperately pushed down oil prices in an attempt to drag down the Soviet Union through economic means.

At this time, it is naturally a good opportunity for China.

After the signing of the agreement on the reunification of military power, a series of North-South joint ventures were established, of which the China National Petroleum Corporation and the China Oil and Gas Company were two of them.

The two companies have a basic monopoly on China's oil and gas market.

The shares of a company are made up of two parts, one is public and one is private.

The shares of the public are composed of two parts, one part is owned by the central government and the other part is owned by the government axes of the autonomous provinces.

Private shares are all-encompassing, and almost all the big families in the north and south are included.

Other joint ventures, such as railway companies, reservoir construction companies, etc., are basically of this type.

The North completely convinced the South with its performance, so when the North proposed large-scale oil storage, no one objected, despite the huge cost.

October 13, 19**, New York, Wall Street.

At this moment, on the stock trading floor, the broker, as usual, wears headphones and eyes are glued to the monitor.

It all seemed like the usual could not be more ordinary, however, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the stock price suddenly began to plummet, and in less than an hour, it set a record of a plunge of 190 points.

It's terrifying, it reminds people of "Black Monday" in 1987, and everyone was looking like dirt.

Just after four o'clock, Wall Street was boiling, and people poured into the road like a tide, and reporters with microphones in their hands interviewed passers-by.

It turned out that Sony had just announced that it had bought Columbia Pictures at the highest price in history, with a transaction value of $3.4 billion.

For a time, the United States was in an uproar.

The film industry is the proudest symbol of the United States, and once again it has stimulated the feelings of the American people.

Two days later, the October 15 issue of Newsweek pushed the feelings of the American people to the extreme.

Newsweek's cover that stimulates the American people is its cover.

The cover of this issue reads: Morimoto's kimono is worn on the Statue of Liberty, the logo of Columbia Pictures.

This dress feels extremely bad to the American people, and it is reminiscent of the geisha of Yumoto, who himself treats the United States as a memorable girl for them to play with silver.

This is so irritating to the feelings of the American people!

Also, the headline below the cover is even more sensational: Ben Invades Hollywood.

This has sparked the association of the American people -- the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

Therefore, it is natural for the American people to think that this is the second time that Ben has invaded the United States.

This is just a small fragment of Ben's "buying" of the United States.

After the Plaza Accord, at first, the appreciation of the Yuan did hit the export of the Yuan, but by the end of '86, after the US dollar exchange rate stabilized, the economy began to rise continuously.

It is said that Ben really began the stage of deep pockets.

If you have money, you are a cow, this sentence is especially obvious in Yue himself, who began to frantically "buy" the United States.

During this period, the American people were extremely miserable, but the people of the United States were extremely happy. In World War II, it was the United States that defeated Yuben, and after the war, it turned Yuben into an American dog. Now, the people of Ben are naturally refreshed by taking revenge on the United States in another way.

The American people are full of emotions about the "purchase" of the United States, but the American political axe has shown the world the bearing of the United States, and the United States absolutely abides by the rules of the game and the rules of the money game.

After a long time, I forgot the identity of the dog and became more and more arrogant.

On 30 October 19**, Mitsubishi bought 51 percent of the shares of the Rockefeller Center for $860 million in cash.

From '86 to **, in just three years, he spent tens of billions of dollars on his purchase of US companies, banks, stock exchanges, film companies, and large sums of real estate, and 10 percent of the real estate in the United States went into his pocket.

In these frenzied acquisitions, his vanity was greatly satisfied.

For many years, he seemed to see that he was expected to surpass the United States and become the world's number one power.

This kind of novel experience is very good, and I am said to have unlimited scenery for a while, and Shintaro Ishihara's "I Can Say No" is a portrayal of the spirit of this kind.

And this is not the pinnacle of my pride.

On 23 November 19**, a diplomat in the United States made a proposal to the US government to solve the huge debt problem between the United States and the United States.

The diplomat's suggestion was: How about selling California to Zoben? California is the closest to Ben, with the largest number of Asian residents and the largest trade and investment with Ben. The six major banks have branches in California, and the banks in California have received 13 percent of the $200 billion in bank deposits in California, and the fifth to tenth largest California banks are all owned by the company.

Therefore, California has become my own world, so why don't I buy California?

However, when he was proud, he didn't know that those big names on Wall Street and the White House were many times more proud than he was.

Watching a group of monkeys play with great pride, and at the same time watching the play, there are also astronomical sums of money contributed by the monkeys into their pockets, and the big guys can't think about it, it's too difficult.

This time, it's the perfect performance to be a bitch and set up a torii.

The monkeys, who were having a lot of fun, did not know that the Americans had originally wanted to bleed them, but when the knife was raised and could not be cut down, the monkeys happily took the initiative to send the blood.

The monkeys are a send-off, a model of internationalism, and a model of examples.

America is sick, the circulatory system is wrong.

Of course, there is a lot of blood in the United States, but it is also large, and one of the symptoms of the American disease is the poor blood flow, and the blood sent by the monkeys happily just drives the flow of blood in the American body, thus improving the overall condition of the circulatory system.

Of course, in addition to the Americans, who are secretly happy, naturally there are also Chinese.

――――

Yanjing, now it's called a fire!

The combined land prices of Tokyo's 23 wards alone reached the level where they could buy all of the United States, and Yenching was not far behind.

Yenching is about the same size as Tokyo, but its population is only one-third of Tokyo's, but the average land price is much higher than Tokyo's.

Of course, the difference between Yanjing and Tokyo is that the real estate in Tokyo is completely open, while the land in Yanjing is not open, and if all the land in Yanjing is open, the land price will inevitably fall sharply.

This is the first difference between Yanjing and Tokyo, while the second difference is the national surname.

Even the most remote rural land has been speculated, but in China, Yanjing seems to be isolated from the world, and has nothing to do with the outside world at all.

Tianjin is the closest big city to Yanjing, and it is very prosperous, but Tianjin's land price has nothing to do with Yanjing's high land price.

The reason for this is that the government has strict regulations in this regard, such as prohibiting non-northern residents from buying real estate and so on.

This is a political factor, and in addition, there is a civil factor.

This folk factor is the Black God Army.

Now, it is the Black God Bank that represents the Black God Army, and once it is found that the house price in a certain place has fluctuated by more than the amplitude, the Black God Bank will come out to express its opinion, thinking that the house price in a certain place is reasonable at which price.

Under the influence of these two factors, Yanjing and the region outside Yanjing have become two completely different worlds.

Yanjing, real estate is on fire on Mars, and real estate outside Yanjing, although it is also private property rights, is always a backwater, and there is always no time to be surprised.

Yanjing's real estate is so hot, and the catalyst is himself.

They said that their purchase of the United States is not only an investment, but it is also a psychological need, and they want to prove to the world and even more so to themselves that they are powerful.

He said that he came to Yanjing to buy a house and land, more out of a real attraction, a cultural attraction.

Today, Yanjing is not only the world's largest luxury consumer market, but also the world's largest luxury producer.

In fact, only a small part of the luxury goods produced in Yanjing are locally made in Yanjing, but no matter where they are made, they can only be sold at a high price in Yanjing.

As a result, Yanjing has complete control over the luxury market, and you can't buy any luxury goods in Yanjing anywhere else.

This is the condition for luxury goods to enter the Yanjing market, so if you want to order, you can only place an order in Yanjing.

Yanjing is the only dream capital in the world.

Land, famous paintings, cultural relics...... In fact, the blood I sent to Yanjing was no less than that sent to the United States.

Moreover, it is said that I send blood to the United States for a while, but it is endless to send blood to Yanjing.

――――

China is a peculiar existence, and in the context of the Cold War between the East and the West, and the clear barriers between the two camps, China is the only country that maintains normal economic and trade relations with the two camps at the same time.

Of course, the latter China is in quotation marks, and it is only southern China that maintains normal economic and trade exchanges with the two camps at the same time.

The reason why this is so is because both the United States and the Soviet Union want to nail the nail into China.

To make money, the fewer people who participate in the cooperation, the better, but if you want to harm any country, even if it is a life-and-death rival, the more the better.

However, neither the United States nor the Soviet Union imagined that the more they tried to nail a nail into China, sometimes it would backfire.

In this regard, the United States was better, but the USSR was not.

Trade between southern China and the Soviet Union was carried out by land, and had to be carried out by railroad through northern China, so this became a link between northern and southern China.

The heavier this interest is for southern China, the stronger this bond will be. In fact, the United States has tried every means to separate North and South China, which is one of the reasons why it has not succeeded.

Because the trade between the Soviet Union and the South had another advantage for the North, that is, it helped the North to complete the layout of the Soviet Union.

Tang Jihai is now seven years old, Chinese New Year's Eve ostensibly as the representative of a southern trading house in Leningrad, but in reality, he came from the staff of Hanyuan, a point in the vast layout of the Soviet Union.

In a dacha on the outskirts of Leningrad, bathed in the bright morning light, Tang Jihai was reading a magazine.

Tang Jihai's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression seemed to be a little confused.

The magazine in Tang Jihai's hand is "Arguments and Facts", which has recently turned purple, and the article he frowns to read is "Zoya? Death of Kosmodemyanskaya".

Zoya is a Hero of the Soviet Union, the first Soviet woman to receive this title, a representative of the red memory of the Soviet people, a symbol of the Great Patriotic War.

This article is a deconstruction of the Hero of the Soviet Union Zoya, an article written by the author based on the memories of a deceased writer.

At the beginning of the article, the author writes from the perspective of the late writer that he had visited the village of Petrishevo, where Zoya had died, but had witnessed the anomaly of "the inhabitants trying to avoid talking about Zoya".

After whetting the reader's appetite, the author Zhovdis began the work of dismantling the "myth" of Zoya.

"I have a feeling that there must be a secret behind all this, please tell me the whole truth, okay?"

The villagers were all terrified, and only one of the female teachers told the "truth" after listening to Arnoff's oath that "only you know about this and never tell anyone" without hesitation.

The Germans occupied the village of Petrishevo during the general assault on Moscow, and the village chief maintained contact with the authorities of the occupation forces stationed in another settlement.

One night, a fire broke out in a wooden house in the village, and the fire burned the house to the ground...... A day or two later, the arsonist was caught red-handed: an unknown girl tried to set fire to another wooden house with rubs soaked in kerosene and the like.

It was a bitter winter, and a family that had lost a place had to be crowded into a neighbour's house, and the whole village was so angry that the guards beat the girl and dragged her into Lucrea's wooden house, where the village chief handed her over to the authorities in the morning and reported what had happened.

On the same day, the girl was hanged by soldiers who had come to the village of Petrishevo on a special mission...... No Germans camped here, and therefore there were none, according to the official version, the stables of the Germans, who seemed to have been set on fire by the female partisans.

When our troops arrived, many of the village's residents were arrested and taken away, and their whereabouts were unknown. As a result, there is a lingering fear of possible repression in the face of those who remain......

The author concludes: Did Lydov make a false report because he was deceived by the frightened inhabitants of the village, or did he himself fabricate the event in favor of Stalin's propaganda? But, in any case, it was this statement of his that became famous and "went down in history".

In Tang Jihai's view, this article is very absurd and cannot stand scrutiny at all.

Even if the pursuit of truth has an absolutely legitimate surname, the attitude of deconstructing a national hero who has become a national symbol must be serious, and this article is premised on the mouth of a dead man who has no proof.

Secondly, the female teacher is also full of loopholes, if she is really afraid of persecution, and the dead writer comes to the village to know what everyone knows, how can the female teacher tell the "truth" because of a useless guarantee?

In the end, although it is subtle, but everyone can feel that the author completely opposes the Soviet Red Army to the common people, and the common people are just, and the Soviet Red Army is unjust.

Tang Jihai frowned, not because of the article itself, but because he did not understand what the Soviets were doing.

In the past two years, the reality of the Soviet Union is that the common people have become more and more numb, and many people at the top level are as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and their eyes are blood-red with excitement.

When Tang Jihai was puzzled, Toxville came.
