Just when the whole world was boiling over the Cuban crisis, an air force plane landed in Hakodate in the far east. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info an old man wearing the marshal's epaulettes stepped down from the plane, the two mustaches on his lips were still so conspicuous as thirty years ago, the only thing that changed was that there were layers of wrinkles on his face and his hair became gray.

Sukhoi took two deep breaths, although the latitude of Hakodate is not low, but it is still much warmer than the icy Leningrad, this is not the first time he has arrived in Hakodate, at the end of World War II, in order to obtain Hokkaido, Sukhoi once led a task force to land on this island, speaking of which he is a revisit.

The difference is that last time he was the commander of the Taiping Fleet of the Red Navy, and now he is the governor of the Ezo Republic. Of course, the official name of the Soviet Union is the General Adviser, but everyone knows that he is the real governor, and the Soviet Union has the final say in everything in the Republic of Ezo.

Of course, this position is now a hot potato, because the previous governor has almost stepped down, and he is considered to have unlimited potential as a rising political star, and is known as the best of the next generation. But now, the leader is a phoenix with a falling feather is not as good as a chicken, and after returning to Moscow, this person can only go to the party school to study again, and as for what position he can be assigned after "completing his studies", he is really not optimistic. It is estimated that this leader will be treated as a minister after retirement at most in the future.

To be honest, Sukhoi also doesn't appreciate this leader, he thinks that the other party is a complete scholar, except for the theory on paper, when it comes to practice, he is blind. How can you be so polite to the Japanese? It's a bunch of cheap bones and thieves, and you have to greet them with a whip and a stick, and the less you treat them as a human being, the more they will treat you as a master.

Anyway, Sukhoi saw through these ugly Japanese and vowed to make these devils look good. So the first thing he did after taking office was to gather the military and political leaders in his jurisdiction and hold a ventilation meeting.

Note that Sukhoi is holding a ventilation meeting rather than a discussion meeting, and there is a big difference here. Discussion meetings are a way to brainstorm and listen to the opinions of the people below before making decisions. A ventilation meeting, on the other hand, is a meeting that conveys the spirit, and to put it bluntly, a meeting that gives instructions. To put it bluntly, it was Sukhoi who gave the order.

Sukhoi's first order was to ban all kimonos, declaring them illegal and a symbol of Japan's colonization of Hokkaido. Anyone who wears a kimono on the street will be fined 100 yuan and forced to work for ten days. By the way, forced labor is really not easy, it is basically heavy physical work, which is quite grinding.

The abolition of Japanese costumes was still the first step, and the second step was to revise the textbooks of the Ezo Republic, deleting all entries that glorified Japan's "invasion" and "colonization" of Ezo and replacing them with criticism and condemnation of historical materialism. All in all, it is a complete distinction between Japan and Ezo, showing that the two sides are two groups of different races and cultures.

Again, note that this is only the second step. The third step is related to the language, according to Sukhoi's plan, the kana pinyin will be gradually abolished, and the alphabet pinyin will be replaced by a letter pinyin similar to the later Chinese pinyin, and the kana will be abolished from official documents, and all official documents will use Chinese characters.

Sukhoi didn't believe it, and after a few decades of walking like this, Ezo and Japan could still be sticky together. Just like the brainwashing of the Greens in later generations, it took less than 20 years to turn most of the normal young people on the island into two coercion and comics. That's why brainwashing Dafa is good!

Of course, this is the general direction, and Sukhoi is not sloppy at all in terms of details, and the most important thing is to change customs, that is, complete de-Japaneseization, as long as it involves a little Japanese element, it will be abolished and banned.

What, you say that the devils do not carry out, do you think Sukhoi's stick is a dry meal? The devil who fell into his hands was shot to death or hard labor, he used power to open the way and crush all the way!

Let's put it this way, in the first year, the devil was still quite backbone, and he constantly protested, but Sukhoi was really unmoved, killing rivers of blood, and after executing tens of thousands of people and forcing nearly 100,000 people to work in a year, the devil's backbone was gone. Don't dare to talk to Sukhoi anymore, then really let you do whatever you want, even if Sukhoi said that he would dig up the ancestral grave of Ezo tomorrow, the devils also brought their own hoes and shovels to bring their own dry food.

Of course, there were also people in later generations who did not understand some of the reforms carried out by Sukhoi, such as the requirement that all female students in school wear short skirts and sailor suits, which is puzzling. Will Sukhoi, the dead gentleman, tell you that he is a sailor?

Anyway, the evil Sukhoi is very happy in the Ezo Republic, as the emperor of the whole Ezo, he has gained high respect, and the devils dare not call him by his name when they mention Sukhoi, and they want to be respectfully called His Excellency the General Adviser of Sukhoi. Every year when Sukhoi celebrates its birthday, the entire Ezo Republic is also full of jubilation, so let's put it this way, the people of Ezo attach more importance to this day than they do to their own parents and even their own parents. That is really the whole family burning incense and bathing, and there is almost no incense case to set up the immortal card and the Jiansheng Temple.

Sukhoi served as general counsel at Ezo for a total of twenty years, beginning in 1949, until his death in 1969. On the day of Sukhoi's death, the entire Ezo Republic became a filial son and grandson, and he cried so much that he cried miserably!

Since 1970, tens of thousands of Ezo people have traveled thousands of miles to mourn the emperor on Sukhoi's death day. This makes you have to sigh how strange these grandchildren are.

That's all for Sukhoi's story, he still has to slowly transform those filial sons and grandchildren, let us temporarily return to Cuba to see Castro's movements. It didn't take much effort for Castro's armed struggle to be won, and after liquidating the puppet army, Castro was in front of a mess. There is hardly any industry in this part of Cuba, and the most of them are all kinds of plantations, such as tobacco, sugar, etc. It is not accurate to say that it is a purely agrarian country, or even that it is an agrarian country, because most of the agricultural products exported by Cuba are primary products and suffer quite a lot in international trade.

What is even more at a loss is that in the past, Cuba's economy was firmly linked to the United States, that is, it exported primary agricultural products to the United States in exchange for high-priced industrial products from the United States, and was sheared without saying anything, and what was even worse was that the relationship was too close. Once the United States severed its economic relations with Cuba, Cuban agricultural products hardly knew to whom to sell them.

Of course, even if they do not adopt the same strategy, these countries will not give Cuba a good face, because the economic structure of the entire Latin America is similar to that of Cuba, and most of them live by exporting agricultural and sideline products in the international market.

Not convinced? Let's take an example, look at Argentina, a country that was a properly developed country in the first half of the twentieth century, and made a fortune by exporting beef, but at the end of the twentieth century, Argentina could really only cry, because this product developed from a developed country to a developing country, which is really stunning.

To get back to the point, the fundamental purpose of Castro's revolution is to let the people of his country live a good life, but now with the blockade line pulled up by the United States, let alone a good life, I am afraid that I will not even be able to live a good life. To get out of the passive situation, Castro had to find new markets.

And Castro first aimed at the Soviet Union, and in his opinion, Big Brother should pull the little brother Cuba anyway. It's just that things are not so simple, although the Russians have a heavier taste and like greasy sweets, but the amount of sucrose consumed by the whole people in the Soviet Union cannot be increased invisibly, and Cuba's cane sugar is good, but the freight is not low by sea from the Caribbean to the Soviet Union, and the cost is invisibly spread.

As for tobacco, Cuban cigars are really good, but Cuban cigars are not cheap either! For Soviet smokers, they were not rich enough to smoke fine Cuban cigars as regular cigarettes.

Let's put it this way, the consumption power of the Soviet Union is quite special, and the whole people have basically eliminated hunger and achieved food and clothing. However, the consumption power of the middle class in the traditional sense is limited, not only can it not afford a car like the middle class in the United States, but it is also a big gap in living consumption in the United States. For example, the most popular means of transportation in the Soviet Union is motorcycles, and families with better conditions regard owning motorcycles as a status symbol, do you think families who drive motorcycles can be open to consuming high-quality Cuban cigars?

Even in recent years, the consumption of high-end luxury goods in the Soviet Union has not risen but fallen, and the reason is very simple, because of the spread of corruption and bureaucracy, the breeding of the privileged class began to pursue those "capitalist sentiment" things, such as foreign imported cars, foreign imported cigarettes, red wine, food, clothing, jewelry, and so on.

With the rectification of Li Xiaofeng and others, a large number of corrupt cadres have been dismissed, which not only directly knocked out the source of luxury consumption, but also greatly deterred those who are ready to be corrupt. The officials no longer dared to compare with those capitalist things, and began to live an honest life, and natural luxuries were not popular in the Soviet Union.

Such a general environment also determined that it was unrealistic for the Soviet Union to help Cuba consume Cuban specialties on a large scale. The Soviet Union could only help symbolically, but it was probably unrealistic for the Soviet Union to replace the American consumer market.

There may be comrades who want to ask, not only the Soviet market! There is also a vast Central and Eastern European market, and the class brothers of Central and Eastern Europe have also reached out, so will not Cuba's difficulties be solved?

This is really standing and talking without backache, maybe before World War II the Central and Eastern European market was still so-so, and there is a certain amount of spending power. But after World War II, the legs of Central and Eastern Europe were lame, and the severe famine from 1945 to 1947 made this region breathless, and it was easy to breathe a sigh of relief from 1948, in general, from hunger to half-full, you let the hungry and half-full people consume expensive Cuban cigars and fine cane sugar, you are ready to let them sell blood!

Therefore, the Central and Eastern European market is also quite limited, and together with the Soviet Union, I am afraid that it can only set a small half of the consumption capacity of the United States, and how to solve the shortage of most of the United States?

To be honest, there is no way to solve this problem, because the world's best consumer market is the United States, and no one can replace the consumption power of the United States. It can only be said that Cuba wants to maintain the status quo ante after losing the American market, which can only be said to be naïve.

Soon Castro was a little at a loss, no matter how you look at it, this is the rhythm of hitting the street, and at this time Li Xiaofeng extended a helping hand, it is not that some immortal can help Cuba open up the market or ease relations with the United States. As for easing relations between Cuba and the United States, this is even more a fool's dream, Castro's victory in the Cuban revolution is tantamount to a slap in the face of the United States, how can Uncle Sam, who has lost face, have a good face for Cuba before he recovers his field?

Li Xiaofeng came up with the solution to help Cuba "attract investment", in fact, Cuba is not only a country with sugar and cigars, this country also has relatively rich mineral resources. For example, nickel ore, chrome ore, manganese ore, copper ore and iron ore resources in non-ferrous metals are relatively abundant. In particular, nickel ore reserves occupy the forefront of the world, and from the perspective of future development, the nickel-based stainless steel market is quite broad.

The Soviet Union can help invest a little in the development of Cuba's non-ferrous metal resources, and in the long run, non-ferrous metals will become more and more important in the future, and it is not bad to develop and utilize them.

Li Xiaofeng signed an agreement with Cuba on the joint development of nonferrous metal resources and iron ore resources. The Soviet Union gave Cuba economic aid in exchange for the right of Soviet enterprises to open mines in Cuba, and the high-quality ore was shipped back to the Soviet Union for processing and then sold to the world.

Although this is somewhat unfair to Cuba in the long run, what Cuba needs at this time is a life-saving way, not to mention selling mineral resources, even selling blood, Castro will probably agree. Of course, the Soviet Union was not so ruthless and would force Castro to sell blood. In general, the deal was a one-way deal, and the Soviet Union paid a certain amount of money in exchange for mining rights in Cuba for the next dozen years. This is acceptable for both sides, and the only one that may be unhappy is probably the United States...... (To be continued.) )
