Moscow, it is already late at night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The streets are lit up and it's a calm evening.

A car, breaking the silence, drove fast through the streets of Moscow, the driver honking his horn vigorously and almost at the speed of an arrow, towards the Kremlin.

In the car, a small yellow man was frowning, as an experienced diplomat, he knew how difficult the task given to him by the general secretary was, but he had to do it! Because, he is the diplomat of the DPRK in Moscow, Park Jung-hee, as a representative of Kim Fat, he is going to protest to the leaders of the Soviets!

"Crunch!" The car was parked outside the Kremlin, and when the door was opened, he hurried up the steps.

"I'm sorry, the general secretary has a lot of opportunities and doesn't have time to see you." Park Chung-hee was going to meet with the general secretary of the Soviets, Andropov, however, he did not get permission.

"Then can I see Marshal Ustinov?"

"I'm sorry, but not there."

"Then may I ask..."Park Jung-hee was thinking in his mind, who else could he go to, and at this moment, the waiting guard received a call: "You can meet Comrade Gromyko, in the conference room on the third floor." ”

Gromyco! The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Soviets, yes, it was good to see him! Park Jung-hee took a step and walked upstairs.

"Minister Gromyko, it's a pleasure to meet you." Park Jung-hee said to Gromyko: "I have come this time to apply to you, when will the food and supplies you have helped us arrive?" ”

"I'm sorry, Ambassador Park, we have already adopted a decision that this kind of assistance will not be available again in the future, and if you need it, you will have to buy it at international prices." Gromyko said.

Aid! Because North Korea has been developing its military, it has led to relatively backward development in other aspects, such as food production, North Korea is not self-sufficient, and needs to be obtained from the outside world, in the past, it has always been aided by the Soviet Union and China.

However, now the USSR has decided not to aid the DPRK anymore! As far as the DPRK is concerned, this will seriously affect the overall development of the DPRK!

"However, we did not sign the Soviet-DPRK Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, and according to the signing of the treaty at that time, we could have received economic assistance from you." Park Jung-hee said.

As a testimony to the friendship between the Soviet Union and North Korea, it was the Soviet-North Korean Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation signed in 61. The preamble and the six main articles of the treaty are as follows: In the event that either of the Contracting Parties is in a state of war under armed attack by any State or Union of States, the other Party shall immediately use all its power to provide military and other assistance; The Parties undertake not to conclude any alliance against the other or to participate in any alliances and actions against the other; The two sides will consult with each other on all major international issues concerning the interests of the two countries; The two sides pledged to develop and strengthen economic and cultural ties between the two countries in the spirit of friendship and cooperation and to give each other all possible assistance.

After 61 years of signing, the treaty was valid for 10 years. If neither of the Contracting Parties proposes revocation one year before the expiration of the period, it shall remain in force for a period of five years. So far, the treaty has been extended twice.

It was on the basis of this treaty that all possible assistance was given to each other, which allowed the DPRK to receive enough economic support from the USSR. Without funds, North Korea can't play with anything.

(There are also sources that North Korea's economy was far better than South Korea's before 90?) On this point, Hua Dongxiong is a little skeptical, and hopes to provide some information in the book review area, if North Korea's economy is better than South Korea's, why is North Korea a fat man? )

And this was a heavy burden for the Soviet Union, which co-opted a group of younger brothers and established the Warsaw Pact, and the younger brothers were all poor and needed relief from the Soviet Union from time to time! The United States is different, the United States has co-opted a group of younger brothers, established NATO, and the younger brothers are very rich, and when the United States has a crisis, it will cut the wool of the younger brother once, so as to transfer the crisis.

This situation did not change until last year, when the Soviet Union made a major breakthrough in the Far East and got such an economically developed country as a junior brother of the island country, and by virtue of the island country alone, the overall economic and scientific and technological level of the Soviet Union was raised to a higher level, and the Soviet Union finally had a target for cutting wool.

To find a fat sheep, you should also get rid of the burden, especially for a burden like North Korea, it is simply a pure burden!

If in the past, North Korea was still the bridgehead of the Soviet Union and the United States in the Far East, but now? The USSR already had a better bridgehead! With the occupation of the islands, the Soviet Navy could go deep into the ocean at any time and take a walk around Hawaii! The status of the DPRK has dropped considerably! The United States continues to instigate South Korea to create chaos in the east? No kidding, look at the map, the island country just wraps up the periphery of the Korean Peninsula! When the United States supported the Korean War, it was based on island countries, and without the island countries, the United States could not afford to make any waves on the Korean Peninsula at all!

In this case, the position of the DPRK can be regarded as chicken ribs, if the DPRK is smart enough and obediently behaves as a little brother, then the Soviet Union can still cover it. However, this North Korea has never been a fuel-efficient lamp.

Especially now, the attitude of the Soviet Union towards the Iran-Iraq war is very clear, and the Soviet Union is supporting Iraq! But North Korea dares to get involved with Iran and secretly export weapons to Iran in exchange for money! Since the DPRK has the ability to do this, why does it need assistance from the Soviet Union?

In particular, the DPRK actually dared to develop ballistic missiles! This was even more intolerable to the Soviet Union; due to the geographical location, the Soviet Union has always opposed North Korea's ballistic missiles, and the Soviet Union only exported to North Korea Frog uncontrolled rockets with a range of less than 100 kilometers, and did not export to North Korean guided missiles at all, not even Scuds.

It's very simple, export to countries like Iraq, Syria, there is no industrial base, they can't imitate it at all, and even if they give them the production line, they just produce it themselves according to the production line, and they will definitely not improve. But it's different if it is given to the DPRK, which will cut, lengthen, bundle thick, and then increase the range!

"Yes, Ambassador Park, we do have this mutual assistance treaty, but you also said that this treaty is mutual assistance, so over the years, we have always supported the DPRK and have not felt the slightest help from the DPRK?"

Mutual aid! At the beginning, even if economic assistance was said, it was mutual, and it was not said that the Soviet Union supported the DPRK in its entirety! Now, Gromyko is relying on the loopholes in this treaty to gag Ambassador Park's mouth: "Excuse me, can you help us with some goods from the Soviet Union?" (To be continued.) )
