In the history textbook of every Yanhuang middle school student, there will always be an illustrated map with the Yanhuang land in the background, and it is full of animals: black bears, eagles, tigers, frogs, as well as Japanese devils, Qing Dynasty people with braids, etc. This map vividly illustrates the reality of Yanhuang at that time: the national strength was weak, it was divided by the great powers, and it was in danger of destroying the country at any time. But what is very surprising is that after a hundred years, it was not the Japanese who profited the most and basically retained their vested interests, nor Britain, France, and the Stars and Stripes, but Tsarist Russia (Russia).

At the end of the 19th century, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia proposed the "Yellow Russia Plan", that is, he planned to draw a straight line from Qiaogoli Peak in Xinjiang on the border of Yan and Yellow Russia to Vladivostok, and annex all the lands north of this line to Russia. Specifically, it is a vain attempt to annex Xinjiang, Mongolia (including Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia), and Northeast China, and eventually turn these regions into an existence similar to "Belarus" and "Little Russia" (referring to Ukraine).

The "Yellow Russia Project" is said to be an upgraded version 2.0 of the "Testament of Peter the Great". At first, the Russians were very afraid of the vast territory and amazing potential of the Qing Dynasty, so the core point of the "Peter the Great's Testament" was to occupy Europe: to integrate mutual interests with the Germans, to win their support for Russian expansion, and to divide Poland. Expand northward along the Baltic Sea and occupy as much Swedish territory as possible. Priority was given to allied trade with England to benefit Russian navigation and trade. Expand south along the Black Sea, as close as possible to Constantinople and India, and thus have the warehouses of the world. All these plans, the final goal of which was to take the existing territory of Tsarist Russia as the foundation, expand the land center to the periphery, so as to occupy the whole of Europe and India, to become the center of the world, to have unobstructed access to the sea in the four oceans, and finally to dominate the world.

But after decades of trial and error, and the rigid clash between Tsarist Russia and the European powers, the two sides finally reached a tacit compromise that could not be written: both sides stayed at the balance of power of expansion. Then Lao Maozi turned around and found in surprise, huh? The "incomparably powerful" Yanhuang Qing Kingdom in the impression had been overwhelmed by the sea raids by the world powers, and had no time to deal with the land invasion from the back.

In order to realize this plan, Lao Maozi can be said to be scheming, it first militarily forced the then Yanhuang Qing government, signed a series of unequal treaties, ceded and plundered more than 3 million square kilometers of Yanhuang's land area, and then began to build a large railway through the whole of Siberia in 1891. The entire railway starts from Moscow in the west, spans eight time zones and 16 Eurasian rivers, and then crosses the two provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin in the northeast of Yanhuang, with a total length of more than 8,000 kilometers, and finally leads east to Vladivostok. This part of the two provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin refers to the construction of the Eastern Railway after Li Hongzhang signed the "Treaty of Mutual Assistance to the Enemy" (also known as the "Sino-Russian Secret Treaty") with Tsarist Russia on June 3, 1896.

With the Eastern Railway, Tsarist Russia's influence could penetrate deep into the three northeastern provinces. In order to further and more smoothly assimilate and enslave the local people of Yanhuang and Huang, they successively built more than 130 churches (prayer houses) and opened more than 400 schools for boys and girls in Lushun, Dalian, Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin, Heihe, Tongjiang, Manzhouli, Suifenhe, and Mudanjiang, and taught Russian culture and values as a whole. In addition, various associations were formed, such as the Economic Survey Committee of the Eastern Railway, which investigated the details of the results of various economic, commercial, and industrial activities along the railway line and in North Manchuria, as a basis for further aggression and economic plunder.

But at this time, an unexpected strong enemy appeared. In the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty was defeated and received huge compensation, and the Japanese invaders who received huge compensation developed rapidly, and also took a fancy to the fat of the treasure land of the three eastern provinces of Yan and Huang, so in order to continue the "Yellow Russia Plan" on one side and seize the "national fortune", Lao Maozi and the little devil fought fiercely in the land of Yan and Huang. It is ironic that due to Lao Maozi's rampant expropriation, burning, killing and looting in the early years (creating many massacres, massacres of villages, and massacres of cities), most of the Yanhuang people in Northeast China stood on the side of the Japanese robbers with the same skin color, and took the initiative to lead the way, transport supplies and detective intelligence to the little devils under the lure of the smug propaganda and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. In the end, under the influence of many factors, the Russo-Japanese War was won, and the residents of Yanhuang in Northeast China naturally changed to a new "master". In an instant, the little devil's smiling face disappeared, the slogan stopped shouting, and the cold muzzle of the gun in his hand was changed to the Yanhuang civilians, and the Yanhuang people in the Northeast had to continue to live a miserable life like slaves. So in Wang Fan's eyes, the widow and the old Maozi are not good people!!

The Supreme Command of the Soviet Red Army in Moscow, Vasilevsky, was looking at the latest report on the logistics situation of troops, equipment, and equipment in various regions with a sad face.

"Comrade Menshak, why did you receive so little aid from the Stars and Stripes this month? And the conflict at the Central Military Plant has not completely subsided? In the second half of the month, production there was only a third of what it was in the same period last month. Vasilevsky, who had read the report in general, put down the folder, raised his head and asked Menshak, who was in charge of logistics.

"Comrade Vasilevsky," Menshak, who was questioned, said in a hoarse voice that had become hoarse after staying up all night: "Due to the three-year-long war, we have lost the grain base of Ukraine, and we have been supported by the limited grain production areas in the central region, the original grain stocks and foreign aid. However, at present, the grain stocks have been basically exhausted, and the central grain-producing areas are limited by the arable area and the weather, and the annual output is very limited; in addition, the heavy labor is basically all invested in the army or factories, and there are basically only old people and children left in the fields, and the necessary farming machinery is extremely lacking because of the production of munitions, so the annual grain output is very low. Now, as the situation in the Pacific theater worsens, the assistance of the Stars and Stripes is becoming less and less. It is no exaggeration to say that we are in danger of an entire country on the brink of collapse. ”

"I remember that the Yanhuanghong Party had already provided a batch of emergency food at the beginning of last month?" Hearing Menshak's half-complaining and half-complaining words, Vasilevsky asked rhetorically in displeasure.

"That batch of grain has been urgently transported to the central part of the country for emergency relief, and the little surplus grain left has also been distributed to the southern theater of operations, because there has been an emergency power for many days, and there has been no food for 4 or 5 consecutive days, and if supplies are not delivered, the troops will either starve to death or mutiny, thus causing the collapse of the entire southern front."

"Can you talk to the representatives of the office of the Yanhuanghong Party, and then urgently assist us with a few batches of food, and after we get through the current crisis, we can return it together in the future."

"I have talked several times with Wang Jiaxiang (the first ambassador to the Soviet Union in history), a representative of the Yanhuanghong Party, and he always argues that food is not like weapons and ammunition, and as long as there are factories and minerals and electricity, energy can be produced continuously. He said that north of the Yangtze River in the Yanhuang Continent is a relatively cold region with a relatively cold climate, and the annual grain output is limited, and with the total number of hundreds of millions of people consumed in the recovery area, it is difficult to squeeze out enough to meet our needs. ”

"Is there no other way? Or did he put forward any conditions or something? Vasilevsky prompted.

"This"

"What's wrong?"

At the last consultation, he had mentioned at the end that they had a way of contacting foreign businessmen who had food supplies to trade. However, foreign businessmen must require gold or precious metals, and the bottom line must also be relatively hard currency such as antiques and cultural relics, and paper money is not considered at all. The last time they helped us with an emergency food crop and a small amount of penicillin, they also bought from those people. However, this time they had already exhausted their gold stocks, and they could not continue trading for the time being. ”

"Gold, precious metals and antiques? Okay, I see, you go down first. ”

"Yes!"

The basement of the Red Fort, Stalin's office resting place.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!" Stalin shouted.

"General Secretary!"

"Comrade Vasilevsky, come, sit down!" Stalin saw that it was Vasilevsky, and said happily: "The weapons traded with the Yanhuanghong Party last time were very good, although there is still a big gap between them and China's production in terms of performance, but with them, it is still very worthwhile to be able to quickly arm nearly a million people, strengthen several dangerous defensive fronts, and block the most fierce attack of the German Cole this year!" Besides, considering the industrial level of Yanhuang, it is already very good to be able to produce arms of this level. ”

"Yes, General Secretary, that's what you said."

"By the way, what are you looking for me? Has the conflict in the central region been resolved? ”

"That's right, General Secretary," Comrade Vasilevsky, after hearing Stalin's question, roughly paraphrased Menshak's words in relatively mild language. After listening to this, the latter did not answer immediately, but took a pipe and put it to his mouth, lit it and began to think for a long time.

Five minutes later.

"Do you think that in the future, the aid of the Star-Spangled Banner will be increased to the original level? What about the British? Stalin asked.

"Considering the state of affairs in the Pacific theater and the recent momentum of the Japanese Navy, I can only say that it is difficult. We now lack not only a lot of supplies, but also a lot of inconspicuous but very necessary auxiliary equipment, such as telephones and telephone lines (historically the Stars and Stripes have provided 330,000 units and about 1.5 million kilometers to the Soviet Union), without which senior officers have very poor control and response to the army, and a large number of warplanes and troops are wasted. There is also the lack of a sufficient number of tires that leaves many of our cars and trucks in a semi-paralyzed state, and so on. Of course, the main thing is the lack of food and medicine, the former causing massive non-combat attrition, and the latter costing the lives of many precious battlefield veterans. ”

"So you mean, agree to Yanhuang's 'conditions'?"

"General Secretary, I know, it is clear that they are 'blackmailing'! It is a betrayal of the proletarian revolution all over the world. But I have to say that at this stage, it is not the time for us and the Yanhuanghong Party to turn their faces. We urgently need their arms products and food support. ”

"How much gold, silver, and artifacts do we have now?"

"Because before the German invasion, we set up the 'All-Union Gold' Complex, so the gold production increased very quickly, and in 1937 the output had reached 167 tons, so now the total reserves in our hands are about 900 tons, less than 1,000 tons. However, because of the low value of silver, there is a lot difference in reserves. As for cultural relics, there are at least more than 2 million pieces of cultural relics in various secret storage sites and public places in China.

"But what?"

"Among the more than 2 million pieces, from the beginning of this century, Tsarist Russia 'obtained' from the Yan and Huang Qing Dynasty about 100,000 pieces (Yan and Huang lost a total of more than 1.6 million official cultural relics due to the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance and the subsequent foreign invasions, while the Yan and Huang people lost ten times as much)."

"Our country can't sell it, collect and sort out the cultural relics of other countries for trading, and at the same time send someone to tell Wang Jiaxiang vaguely that we have a considerable number of 'stolen' cultural relics from their country, hoping that they can show sincerity."

"Yes, I see!"

At the same time, Wang Fan was piloting a flying machine on his way to the homeland of the Japanese Invaders.

"Wang Fan, since you plan to use the ring map scanning and collection function to steal the cultural relics buried in the various above-ground and underground warehouses of the Japanese and the British, why do you still use Lao Maozi and the Star-Spangled Banner (an additional condition for the upgrade of the Thousand Talents Plan) to be traded there?"

"I don't have that much time! The territory of the USSR and the Stars and Stripes was too large. I don't want the little devils and the British to be island countries, it's such a big place, and it's easy to find. Again"

"Huh?"

"To be honest, I don't take cultural relics as seriously as later experts, as if I lost cultural relics, or when cultural relics were snatched away by foreign countries, it was dark and I beat my chest, as if I couldn't live my life." Wang Fan exhaled lightly and explained: "In my eyes, although the so-called cultural relics have the role of cultural inheritance, their essence is nothing more than the exclusive enjoyment and luxury goods of the ruling class at that time. Research and research, and come to the conclusion that there is really no practical significance in how prosperous, rich, and powerful Yanhuang was in ancient times. On the contrary, it sets off the poverty and decay of modern Yanhuang. In my heart, a group of old professors and experts, who have spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to engage in archaeology, are better than saving money first to improve the living standards of ordinary people in the world. When the country's economy is really developed, life is rich, and the per capita wealth and actual living standard have reached the high-end or top of the world, then we will do those archaeological work. At that time, the new generation of educated Yanhuang people grew up, and it was easier to accept. Second, now that the results of the research have been obtained, you can talk to a group of Yanhuang farmers who don't know a few big characters to preach what the authentic works of the Tang Dynasty and the huge cultural and historical significance of the famous paintings of the Song Dynasty are, don't you think it's a very nonsense thing? Yadea, I really look down on a certain group of scholars in later generations, do you know what kind of them are? ”

"Huh?"

For example, the Yu Dafu Research Society can be held for more than ten consecutive sessions, and studying his works can feed a large number of literati and artists. What contribution can these pedants who hold the state's fortunes create to society in addition to climbing the lattice and writing some papers that are finally locked in the cabinet? Phew! So in my eyes, whether it is a national treasure or a cultural relic, this 'collection' has no other meaning and purpose, just one reason: this is mine, you were better than me earlier, and you snatched it from my house, and I put up with you. Now that I'm strong, it's time to take it back! ”
