Are sugar-coated cannonballs easy to deal with? Naturally, it is difficult to deal with, how many people and even how many politicians have fallen on this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoEven Taizu especially emphasized this matter when the revolution was about to win, which shows how powerful this thing is.

Of course, sugar-coated shells are also divided into grades, such as the sugar-coated shells of the US imperialists, which are of the highest grade. For the Central and Eastern European countries with a collapsed economy, if the Soviet Union does not stop it, let alone a sugar-coated shell, even a sugar-coated nuclear bomb, they will swallow it with a vicious dog grabbing.

This trick of the US imperialism can be regarded as the most **** and lowly trick, and as mentioned earlier, if possible, the Soviet Union will definitely hope that the Central and Eastern European countries will not accept this round of sugar-coated shells. For example, in history, the Soviet Union forced Central and Eastern Europe to give up US aid and accept the so-called aid of the Soviet Union instead.

In terms of results, the Soviet Union did succeed in leading the younger brothers to block this round of sugar-coated shells, which seems to be good? However, Li Xiaofeng believes that the Soviet Union's approach in those years was not considered a success, because the people of Central and Eastern European countries did not particularly agree with this, because the Soviet Union's aid was not enough, when the economy of Western Europe took off again in the mid-50s, Central and Eastern Europe was still struggling in the quagmire. Life has not fundamentally improved. At this time, when they think back to the sugar-coated shells of the United States, I am afraid that they do not think that they are sugar-coated shells, but think that they are life-saving straws, and the Soviet Union, which forced them to throw away the life-saving straws, is naturally extremely evil.

In other words, the Soviet Union only resisted the impact of sugar-coated shells from the results, but this round of sugar-coated shells was buried in the hearts of Central and Eastern European countries like a vicious seed, and when the time came, it would blossom into an evil flower and bear subversive fruits.

This kind of result is not what Li Xiaofeng wants to see, for him, it is not a skill at all, and it is too stupid, the highest level of dealing with sugar-coated cannonballs is to eat the sugar-coated cannonballs and throw the cannonballs back.

And now, all he has to do is teach the Central and Eastern European countries how to eat sugarcoating. On the first stop, he arrived in Romania for talks with George Udege.

Why is the first stop Romania? For Li Xiaofeng, the future focus of the Soviet Union in Europe will be Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Poland, and Germany. The countries on these two lines and the countries outside these two lines were completely different for the USSR. The countries on these two lines must completely follow the rhythm of the Soviet Union, and they cannot make a mistake, while the Central and Eastern European countries outside these two lines, the Soviet Union, will not pay so much attention and can have relatively large autonomy.

Unlike Bulgaria and Greece, Romania is run by the Romanian Communist Party, which is, in American terms, a poisonous government. The other two are coalition governments in a sense. In other words, the Soviet Union did not have as much control over Romania as Bulgaria and Greece. So Li Xiaofeng must first gnaw this hard bone and ensure that Romania goes according to his requirements.

George Udege first explained to Li Xiaofeng the economic situation in Romania, but in fact, there is nothing to explain, the actual situation is a mess. Romania's only heavy industry, the oil industry, was devastated by the bombing, and the current Ploiesti oil fields are still miserable. According to George Udeg, Ploiesti's production capacity was only one-tenth of its pre-war level.

The industrial downturn and agriculture are not much better, or even worse. This round of severe cold and drought has taken a heavy toll on Romanian agriculture, and the grapes have been frozen to death in large areas, causing the wine industry to be devastated. As for the wheat and other crops, the harvest was also generally poor, and coupled with the previous German plunder and destruction, George Udege believed that there was a high probability of famine in Romania this year.

Famine was no joke, the Tsar just couldn't let the people of Leningrad eat Leba, which led to the collapse of the throne for hundreds of years. Romania Total. How many days has the party only been in power? Once the famine is formed, the Romanian people will not be able to eat and walk around the Romanian people, whether with their hands or feet.

Anyway, at this time, George Ude was no longer as energetic as he was a year ago, and after this year, he found that it was not so easy to govern a country, and he was really physically and mentally exhausted. Anyway, after this round of spitting, his only request to the Soviet Union was: "Romania has serious economic difficulties, and I sincerely ask the Soviet government to help me." ”

Does Li Xiaofeng know the situation in Romania? Naturally, we know that in fact there are similar problems not only in Romania, but also in Bulgaria, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. However, Romania is the most obvious of these countries, and the reason is very simple, compared with Hungary and Czechoslovakia, Romania's economic structure is more homogeneous, it can be said that it is an underdeveloped agricultural country, and the country's economic pillar is the export of oil is the export of agricultural and sideline products. Once these two main businesses fall, it is really a pill in minutes.

The situation in Hungary and Czechoslovakia was different, and within the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, these two companies had a lot of industry. Czechoslovakia, in particular, was at one time the arsenal of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The industrial structure of these two countries is more industrial, the agricultural population is not so large, and the competitiveness of the exported industrial products in the country is still relatively strong. And during the Nazi occupation, the Nazis also strengthened their capabilities in this area. So even if there is a problem with agriculture, their industry can still support one or two.

As for Bulgaria, although the situation in this country is similar to that of Romania, Bulgaria has not suffered much damage from the war, and its geographical location is further south, it can still absorb a little of the warm and humid air flow of the Mediterranean, the drought is not so severe, and although the agricultural production has also been reduced, it can barely make ends meet. Coupled with a certain amount of Soviet aid, although it was also tight, it was dry but not a famine.

And how to deal with the crisis in Romania? Li Xiaofeng believes that there is no other way but to strengthen aid, because Romania's problems cannot be solved overnight, and who can restore Ploiesti's production capacity in a few months? Who can revive agriculture from drought and poor harvests? For the time being, the country can only eat aid. Let's survive the three tragic years from 1945 to 1947 first, save our lives and then talk about development!

Li Xiaofeng replied to George Udeji: "The Soviet government sent me when it was officially aware of Romania's economic difficulties, and this year the Soviet Union will provide Romania with no less than $5 million in food and other material aid......

When he first heard about the aid, George Udeji was very happy, but the number given by Li Xiaofeng later really disappointed him. $5 million is too little, and even if it were all converted into food, it would probably not be enough for Romania to survive this winter.

Li Xiaofeng also saw George-Udege's disappointment, and he immediately added: "This is the first aid, and the Soviet government will give more aid depending on the actual situation in Romania." But at the same time, we hope that the Romanian people will understand that the Soviet Union, which also suffered great war damage and economic difficulties, is now tightening their belts to help you. And it is not only Romania that is experiencing economic problems, but also Poland, Bohemia and Pomerania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania, Slovenia, and Germany. The Soviet government needed help from so many people that we had to be as fair and just as possible. ”

This is also understandable for George Udeji, and the bad thing about Europe today is that once it returned to the pre-liberation period, from north to south and from east to west, there were mouths waiting to be fed everywhere. It is true that the Soviet Union has limited capabilities, and it is not easy for the Soviet Union to come out with money to help now.

Of course, understanding is understanding, George Udeji still has to lead Romania to live, even if the Soviet explanation can make the Romanian people understand for a while, but it can't always make them hungry, right? To put it bluntly, it is not necessary to solve practical problems.

Li Xiaofeng's reply was: "We are trying to find a way to restore half of the pre-war production capacity of the Ploiesti oil fields within one to two years, so that Romania can obtain valuable foreign exchange." I have already talked with the Luxembourg comrades that we can use the Soviet loan to produce oil production and oil refining equipment for Romania. Now I'm going to talk to you mainly about U.S. aid? ”

George Udege had no illusions about American aid from the beginning, he knew very well how important his country was to the Soviet Union, and how could the Americans be allowed to do it in their own land with Big Brother urine, and he believed that the Soviet Union would forcefully force Romania to give up American aid. George Udege thought that the best outcome of this was to use American influence to get the Soviets to give more aid. But what he didn't expect was that Li Xiaofeng's next speech surprised him.

"That's how the Soviet government sees U.S. aid," Li explained in detail: "Fundamentally, the so-called U.S. aid is actually a trick to break the socialist camp from within." This so-called aid is a conspiracy with a high political attaché. Fundamentally, the Soviet government was disgusted by such vile tricks. However, in view of the grim economic situation facing Central and Eastern Europe at present and the suffering of the people of Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Government proceeded from humanitarianism and the most important thing for the time being to save people, and everything should be people-oriented. ”

Li Xiaofeng has always believed that the biggest problem of the Soviet Union is to put the cart before the horse. Whether it is the idealistic export revolution in the early stage or the ideological hegemony in the later stage, they all deviate from a basic point -- people-oriented. What is the fundamental purpose of the export revolution? It is the establishment of socialism or the Communist Party. Is it a protarian society? No, the fundamental aim is to make the proletariat live better. What about hegemony? It is still to make the life of the people of our country or this Union better. It seems cool to be as reckless as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but in fact it is death. Whether it is a struggle for hegemony or an export revolution, the fundamental purpose of putting people first cannot be changed, otherwise it will become a carnival of some distorted careerists.

Li Xiaofeng has always believed that his mission is to put people first. If the struggle for hegemony and the export of revolution are at the expense of the livelihood of the group and the people of the country, then it is better not to engage in such activities. He will not fool around for the sake of an illusory reputation or face, his actions are to protect the interests of the group based on reality, and if the struggle for hegemony is to protect the interests of the group, then it must be done. On the contrary, it was better to take a break.

Only by putting people first can we unite the majority of the younger brothers, let them revolve around the Soviet Union, and protect the Soviet Union from collapsing like in history. And the so-called people-oriented, the most basic point is not to be tyrannical.

The Soviet Union in this historical time and space can do the same thing as the Soviet Union in history to control Central and Eastern Europe and force them to refuse American aid, if not easier. But what's the point? Can it solve the survival problems faced by these allies? If not, what good is this done other than to make the Soviet Union angry?

In this respect, Li Xiaofeng is practical, if we only proceed from ideology, the Americans' aid will of course be poisonous weeds, and of course it will not be accepted if it can be collected. But ideology can be eaten? Your Soviet ideology can make Central and Eastern Europe like you? Can ideology consistently maintain the stability of the group?

In politics, everything is based on ideology, that is, two whatevers, that is, foolishness. Politics or human society as a whole has always been mercenary. To like for the sake of liking and to hate for the sake of hating, that is the new generation of Peter III in Russia. Just imagine, if Peter III had not been so stupid, would Prussia have become German? I am afraid that Prussia, sandwiched in the middle of Europe, would have long since become a second Poland, which would have been completely divided among the three great powers of Russia, France, and the Holy Roman Empire. I'm afraid that Russia will be able to penetrate deep into Western Europe one hundred and fifty years earlier.

This is the evil result of one-sided emphasis on ideology and dominating politics with personal likes and dislikes. The lessons of Peter III are profound, and Li Xiaofeng will never be Peter III in the new era. Therefore, his perspective on the incident of American aid is very different from that of the old revolution in the Soviet Union, in his opinion, the Americans threw sugar-coated shells, but who said that they could not eat sugar-coated shells and throw them back? Look at how well Yugoslavia did in history, and the American aid was eaten, but the Americans still didn't listen to what they said, and later they fought fiercely with the Soviet Union for a time. Can you say that Tito's Yugoslavia was not socialism?

When the Soviet Union interfered in Yugoslavia's internal affairs, this was the bottom line, and it turned its face when it should turn its face, but it also tilted toward Britain and the United States in a disciplined manner, firmly adhered to the principle of neutrality, and handled international relations in an orderly manner on the basis of safeguarding national sovereignty and independence.

If Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Albania were as smart as Tito, Li Xiaofeng thought that he would be relieved of his worries, and he would not have to worry about them completely turning to the United States, nor would he be afraid that they would stick to the Soviet Union like vampires and maintain friendship and keep their distance, which is very good.

But it is clear that not all of them are Tito, the communists of Central and Eastern Europe. The leaders of the industrial party were more vampires, copying everything from the Soviet Union, without the ability to think independently at all (of course, the intervention of the Soviet Union in this regard was also the main reason), and they had no other use than to reach out to the Soviet Union.

What Li Xiaofeng has to do is to change all this, the small partner who is not so important to the Soviet Union is the same principle, as long as you respect the collective security framework of the CIS and do not allow the military forces of Britain and the United States to enter your country, you can develop as much as you want, and the Soviet Union will not interfere too much.

In other words, on the issue of US aid, Li Xiaofeng's attitude is: If you want to receive US aid, you can, and there is no problem at all. It is enough to pay attention to the following issues: not to join the military and economic bloc headed by Britain and the United States, not to allow any military privileges to be granted to the military bloc headed by Britain and the United States, to join the security framework of the CIS bloc, and to join the WTO. If all this can be done, you can take the American aid as you want, anyway, the Americans are not alive, and the aid is not gratuitous, just don't cry when you are collected for debt in the future.

Some comrades may ask, what if the Americans engage in peaceful evolution, or use the economic stick to open the way and force these countries to turn? Hehe, don't blame the Soviet Union for being hacky at that time, why did Li Xiaofeng keep emphasizing the CIS collective security framework? Because when designing the CIS organization, Li Xiaofeng buried mines in it. Let's put it this way, in order to join the CIS, it is necessary to sign the declaration of the Commonwealth of Independent States, which contains such a clause: withdrawal from the CIS requires the application of the country to the CIS Assembly, and the country can only withdraw if the CIS Assembly agrees to the withdrawal application of the country by a simple majority.

Otherwise? That would be considered a violation of the overall security framework of the CIS, which the CIS countries have the right to preserve the integrity of the CIS.

To put it bluntly, the CIS is easy to get in and hard to exit. If you want to withdraw, it's not just your family's business, if the other countries of the CIS don't agree, then I'm sorry, you can't withdraw. If you don't care about playing hard, then the CIS will play you.

Anyway, the matter is very simple, and you have to pay a price for enjoying the security protection of the CIS group, and if something happens, you will pat yourself on the ass and leave, sorry, no! You said you regretted it, don't let Congress or Parliament approve it back then!

Li Xiaofeng believes that if this is guaranteed, even if the Central and Eastern European countries accept US aid, it is not a big problem, at most the Americans spend money to buy a favor, but in international relations, the goodwill can be said to be the most useless.

Moreover, Li Xiaofeng believes that as long as the Soviet Union itself does not destroy the Great Wall and maintains its upward momentum and sufficient military presence, it will probably not dare to openly change its position at the level of the gang of cowards in Central and Eastern Europe. Moreover, it is not necessarily beneficial for them to change their courts, after all, the ruling parties of these countries are the communists who were single-handedly supported by the Soviet Union. The party. With the urine nature of the United States, even if it is for the purpose of using them, it is impossible to really treat them as its own people, and once it is discovered that their use value is not enough, I am afraid that they will immediately subvert them. Of course, the most important thing is the strength of the USSR, which is fundamental.

So Li Xiaofeng told George Udeg: "If Romania can adhere to the above principles, then the Soviet Union will not object in principle to Romania receiving aid from the United States, and this will not affect Romania to continue to receive assistance from the Soviet Union." ”

This was a pleasant surprise for George Ude, who, as mentioned earlier, had no extravagant hopes for American assistance, and was afraid that the Soviet Union would go berserk. But now the attitude of the USSR is really delighting him, how good it is that he is so open-minded and considerate of the little brother!

As a result, George Udege immediately put pressure on those who voted against joining the CIS, and soon Romania adopted the relevant agreement, announcing its formal membership in the CIS and the World Communist Union.

After getting Romania, Li Xiaofeng went to Bulgaria and Greece non-stop, but for these two countries, he pursued a different policy, these two countries are too important for the Soviet Union to intervene in Turkey and the Mediterranean, and there is already a considerable opposition inside, if the United States is introduced, the situation will become very complicated, so his promise to these two countries is: "Join the CIS, the Soviet Union will provide sufficient economic assistance." ”

This is no joke, before Li Xiaofeng left for Bulgaria and Greece, in order to maintain the Soviet presence in these two countries, the government. The administration has approved the first tranche of $50 million in economic aid, of which $20 million is for Bulgaria and $30 million for Greece.

It may seem like nothing now, but note that the dollar in 1945 was worth 45 times more than the dollar in 2016, when $50 million was equivalent to $2.1 billion today. Even the $2.1 billion aid given in one go now is a huge sum. Don't you see that the Belt and Road Party in Ukraine gave all the gold from the treasury to the Americans, and how many boxes of lunches did they exchange for dog food?

For Bulgaria and Greece, it was supposed to look at the eyes of the Soviet Union, and to tell the truth, their losses in World War II were really not particularly large, and how much war reparations did Greece mix from Germany in history? It's a pity that they can't accept American aid today, but the Soviets filled the hole, didn't they? Anyway, it's all money, the Soviet Union gave it, and promised that there will be it later, so it doesn't matter if you don't want the Americans.

After securing the line of Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece, Li Xiaofeng has settled down a lot, and the next Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Slovenia, and Austria can completely follow Romania's plan and allow them to take American money. (To be continued.) )
