As soon as Viola came back from Berlin, she sat on Lin Youde's knees, and then moved her shoulders, obviously asking Lin Youde to help her rub her back. Lin Youde didn't say a word, grabbed his wife's back and rubbed it.

"Well, this is here, and I feel like it's hard lately, and I can't move." Viola shouted her request.

"You just spoke here, full of middle-aged and elderly women."

"So what, I'm actually a middle-aged and elderly woman, forty."

"But it's still so small."

Lin Youde's words didn't have any effect at all, Viola hasn't reacted to the jokes about her body shape recently, and if you think about it carefully, so many years have passed, and it would be strange to react again. In fact, when Viola was in her twenties, Lin Youde felt that she was just responding to everyone's expectations when she faced these jokes, and she didn't really care about her height, but everyone got a lot of pleasure from flirting with Viola, and Lin Youde was also happy.

"Did you just think that I was so indifferent to the ridicule of height?"

"No, it's normal to be indifferent. You've reacted too deliberately in the past. ”

"Sure enough, it seems deliberate, I've been thinking that way for a long time." Viola sighed and changed the subject, "Just because I helped you make waves in Frankfurt, I'm almost annoyed to death these days, those people seem to want to apply to the Supreme Court for arbitration, thinking that I have selfish motives when exercising the power of the president, and the parliament is clamoring for hearings all day long, just for your 10 billion marks, I have a lot of trouble here." ”

Lin Youde smiled: "You just insist that you don't know about my actions in the stock market, don't you end it, throw the pot to me completely, and then cry about the recent cracks in the relationship between husband and ......wife."

"I would never say that." Viola flatly denied, "I wouldn't say that in public unless we did have a rift." ”

Lin Youde looked down at his wife's Tianling Gai, and was slightly moved: "In this way, then it's better to pretend to be stupid." Anyway, now that the people's support for you is so high, the parliament can't do anything about you. Force, finances, and public opinion are all in our hands, and this country is now our own territory, and no one can blame us for what we are going to do. ”

"Aren't you going to use any way to make the opposition parties really aware of this?"

Viola's words made Lin Youde shake his head: "Unfortunately, I can't." Now there is a need for social stability, and unconventional methods such as the Night of the Long Knife cannot be used in this era. We had to play with those guys under the existing rules, but even then, we had a lot better hands than theirs. ”

"Yes. After all, this is our country. Viola whispered, "By the way, the Russian ambassador has sent a note that it seems that Natalia is planning to come to our side for a state visit." ”

Lin Youde raised his eyebrows.

Russia seems to have lost touch in the international community during this time. Throughout World War II, Russia was considered to have "lost", and after the end of World War II, Russia immediately began a civil war that was not short, and its vitality was greatly damaged, so at the United Nations and other international conferences, Russia honestly played the perspective of a bystander, and only when various economic related agreements were signed, Russia would express its opinion.

Lin Youde has always kept the fox concerned about the situation in Russia, and every quarter a detailed report on Russia is sent to Lin Youde's desk. However, Lin Youde only looks at the previous synopsis and summary most of the time, and only Ysera will read it carefully.

After quelling the civil strife, Natalia took the opportunity to force the tsar to abdicate and completely monopolize power, and then she carried out a package of reforms, unifying Russian industry and commerce, and using scissors to complete the primitive accumulation of modern industry in the countryside.

As a result, the peasants were tossed and choked, and the Cossacks, who were the most severely damaged, raised a counter-flag, only to be ruthlessly flattened.

The land that had belonged to the Cossacks was immediately expropriated by the state, and Russia was now the only country among the former powers to control most of the arable land.

The set that Natalia carried out always reminded Lin Youde of the iron comrade in another time and space, but that set also proved its effectiveness, it did make a country between an agricultural country and an industrial country initially transform into an industrial country. But in this time and space, Russia has Germany and a union of European countries that are more powerful than the other, and in the east there is a new Ming that is more industrialized than Russia. And then Russia itself was cut off Ukraine, a region where agriculture and industry were at the forefront of Russia, and Russia could no longer be another Soviet Union anyway.

"At this time, Natalia's visit shows that she has finished integrating the domestic party and intends to rejoin the game of the international community."

"It looks like. She didn't go to the United States first, but came to our side first, does that mean that she is more inclined to cooperate with us? ”

"Not necessarily, maybe it's just because it's close."

Lin Youde shook his head, Natalia will definitely go to the United States, in the current confrontation between the two powers, when the world is divided into two camps, Natalia will not know that the way to get the most benefits is to not rely on both sides to take benefits, in fact, her predecessor and herself have done this.

"However, Natalia can come and sign some contracts with us that are beneficial to both parties. The Soviet Union - No, the most accessible commodity in Russia right now is probably grain, and now we import a lot of grain, and Ukraine and Romania alone do not feel enough. ”

It stands to reason that the per capita amount of arable land in Germany is not a big problem of grain self-sufficiency, but the problem is that Germany eats a lot of meat, and a considerable part of the grain produced has to be used as fodder grain, and the total labor force of a country is constant. Although Lin Youde has been promoting mechanized agriculture, Germany is still not fully self-sufficient in food production. It is necessary to import not only feed grains from Romania and Ukraine, but also grains for human consumption.

Under the current circumstances, once a new war breaks out, the import of German grain will be interrupted, and Germany will not even be able to guarantee the rations of its residents for too long, and the German people will only be able to eat cabbage for about a year after the war.

In addition to agricultural products such as grain, Russia also has a lot of natural resources, and Russia's own industry alone will certainly not be able to consume the resources of output, and Germany happens to be an industrial power, and needs a large amount of ore to meet the production of factories.

In fact, Germany had been importing grain and ore from Russia, but due to the situation in Russia, the import volume was not large, and now Natalia had come and could enter into a trade agreement that would facilitate the import of these products in larger quantities, which was undoubtedly a great thing.

"Russia doesn't seem to have anything to sell us except natural resources." Viola said thoughtfully, "In the past, they could sell us magic products. But now our magic technology is already a generation ahead of Russia, and the Russians may not be able to catch up with us in magic technology for decades. The same is true for their other industrial products, and if Natalia came to export them, she would probably be disappointed. ”

"yes." Lin Youde nodded.

This is the most embarrassing point that Russia is facing now, no matter whether it does business with the United States or Germany, it will be used by the two countries to play scissors with the advantage of being an industrial country, and it will be cut forever. In another ten years, perhaps Russia will be able to seize the opportunity of the industrial transfer of the great powers to develop its industry, just like the emerging countries that rose up in the sixties and seventies in another time and space. But now, the industrial transfer has not yet begun, and the powers themselves are still trying to enhance industrial production capacity and increase production capacity. Russia categorically has no chance to make any sweetness at this time.

But Russia can't do it without selling its resources, and if modern society does not join international trade, it will only end up being abandoned by the world.

Lin Youde was a little sympathetic to Natalia.

"Maybe we should be kind enough to help with some projects?"

"And then we'll have another strong polar bear around us? It was not easy for us to abolish its martial arts. And even if we don't, the United States will try to benefit Russia. ”

Lin Youde thought about it and found that this was indeed the case, the Yankees were not by Russia's side, and even if Russia became strong, the United States would have a fleet to ensure the security of its own homeland. Without giving the Russians 50 years, Russia will not be able to develop a fleet capable of challenging the US Navy -- after all, there is such a thing as a century-old navy, and it is not overnight to build a strong navy.

Because of this, the Americans can strengthen Russia without any worries, feed the polar bears to be extremely strong, and then let the polar bears come to trouble Lin Youde - even if the Americans don't give orders, the Russians will come to Lin Youde for trouble after they become strong. If they don't come to Europe, they will have to go to Asia to find trouble with Xinming, or go south from the Caucasus to invade oil-rich Iran.

Lin Youde couldn't help but pout, and said in his heart that it would be fun if the Americans raised polar bears and fattened them, and it suddenly swallowed Iran and Persia, which the Americans had managed to control.

Of course, the Americans have not yet controlled Iran and Persia, in fact, the mullahs supported by the Americans are mainly distributed in the south of Iran, and the Persian kings supported by Lin Youde control the north. If Russia goes south now, it will be Lin Youde who will have a headache.

"Anyway, it's better to meet the old acquaintance first." Lin Youde finally said.
