Chapter 761: Japan is about to rise
"The progress is very smooth, and it will come bit by bit, and a decisive battle will come sooner or later." Selov said with the war report these days. It is actually meaningless to read the war report. Taking the War Patriotic War as an example, it is similar to the Battle of Stalingrad. The millions of troops on both sides fought each other. Although the blood was rippling, the battle lasted for more than eight months. Whether it was the collapse of a thousand miles at the beginning or the counterattack later, it was only a few days. Most of the time, both sides were bored and fired cold guns in one house, and one died, and the other died, and the other was fighting for consumption.
If the Soviet Union had to rely on Turkey to withdraw its troops, it would probably be that the Soviet army would face this situation in Turkey now. However, with a shameless person like the General Political Commissar, the Soviet Union's withdrawal would definitely not hesitate. He did not even consider post-war reconstruction, which was entirely the Kurds' own business.
The current situation of civil war in Angola is that the Union League retreated while shooting cold guns, and waited to retreat to a place that it was very familiar with, and found an opportunity to clean up the Anrenyun and the Cuban coalition forces. As for where this place is, the ignorant general political commissar does not know. This can be analyzed by professional soldiers, but he can't see it anyway.
Compared with the current Angolan civil war and Thailand civil war, Selov is more concerned about how the LAN in Portugal is operating. Of course, the computers supported by the Soviet Union are full of socialist private goods, with the purpose of helping the current left-wing government in Portugal stabilize the situation. The risk of military coup in this small country has always existed, but it has failed twice so you don’t know when the third time will come.
If the Cuban army could offset the South African army, both manpower and support would occupy Angora. The only thing that makes people doubt is guerrilla warfare. If the guerrilla warfare is not stopped, the Soviet Union is still not sure to gain benefits from Angola. The biggest reliance of Angora's guerrillas is the tropical rainforest.
Selov was going to talk to the Minister of the Central Forestry Department. As a person who grew up in a forest area, he thought he had a little understanding of forestry resources, at least a little superficial understanding. The most superficial understanding is that there is no forest that is not only cut by loggers, but just to see if they want to cut them down.
"Tropical rainforests have one obvious advantage over the cold-zone woods, that is, their growth rate. Because coniferous forests are in the cold-zone, they grow very slowly. Once the forest in a region is cut down, it will take at least 20 to 30 years to recover the vitality, and it is only a preliminary recovery. However, the tropical rainforest can be restored to its original state for thirty years. So, in principle, can we think of a way to find a way for our forest resources?" Shelov looked like an environmentalist, and actually asked the Central Forestry Department to consider whether to complete part of the logging task in Angola.
"But what should those lumberjacks do? This will cause relatively large unemployment and is not in line with our national claims." The Minister of the Central Forestry Department said in a bit embarrassing, but this reason is obviously untenable.
Serov looked at the other party silently and said to himself, "This has nothing to do with the unemployment rate. In fact, if the minister can care a little about the Ministry of Agriculture, he should know how terrible the labor gap in our country's collective farms is. There are enough machines, but no one uses it. Will being a worker in a collective farm be more tiring than a lumberjack? It shouldn't be like this? I think it should be another reason."
As the general political commissar, Selov personally killed the textile industry that the Soviet Union needed most manpower, saving manpower to invest in collective farms. The benefits of doing so not only stabilized the gap in the collective farm population, but also because a large part of the textile industry is in Russia and the raw materials are in Central Asian countries. After these textile industry populations entered Central Asia, the Soviet Union's population structure looked much healthier. On the one hand, it stabilized the advantages of the Slavs, and on the other hand, it increased the raw material output of the Central Asian Republic, which looked very good.
The Soviet population was far from being able to bear heavy industry, light industry and agriculture at the same time. In this case, heavy industry and agriculture are of course very important. To cut off, light industry can only be cut. The Soviet leadership has seen this, so international division of labor and international dictatorship theory emerged, allowing other countries to make up for everything the Soviet Union needed.
In fact, the Soviet Union has almost completed everything it needs. Even the most lacking tropical raw materials in history have been solved, and it is more confident to compete with the United States for the economy. If there is anything else that the country still lacks, it is the agricultural population. The Soviet Union cannot achieve the two million mechanized agricultural population like the United States, feeding the entire American, and exporting and relieving other countries. It cannot achieve the meticulous farming of hundreds of millions of farmers like China. However, the shortage of agriculture should at least be supplemented, so that the risks can be more withstand it.
Obviously, the Minister of the Central Forestry Department in front of him did not have a noble sense of sacrifice and was unwilling to sacrifice his department. This was entirely because he was worried that his department would not be valued in the future, and in fact he was not valued much now.
"Tikunov, it depends on you. You, the oil tiger, must have influence in the government. Let the Central Forestry Department consider laying down loggers. Even if it is 100,000 people, Angola and Thailand have rich forestry resources and will definitely make money in the future. Our forest growth cycle is too long and exporting raw materials is not suitable at all. Did I say that you cannot export, just reduce some logging volume and save manpower." After the Minister of the Central Forestry Department left, Selov carried out verbal bombing on Tikunov. He would not be able to save face in the General Political Commissar. Is it not that the investigation is not required?
"I think of a solution, don't worry." Tickunov immediately expressed his willingness to help. The Central Forestry Ministry does not have such a high status as the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, especially when oil prices are soaring. For modern industries, as long as oil is produced, there will never be no situation where it cannot be sold.
Rambouille is a summer resort in France, especially in the hot July and August, when the French president often works here. The Rambouille forest is very lively this year and welcomes the head of a capitalist power at one time. In this sense, France has received great honors. Even the left-wing parties, including France, have to admit that this is a good opportunity to establish French prestige. As the host French, the French presided over the summit.
President Ford also respected France very much and came to France by plane to attend the summit. Of course, it would be even better if the Italian Prime Minister was replaced by another person. Ford had some grudges about Bellinger, who was also the Italian General Secretary, especially under the increasingly obvious offensive of the Soviet Union. If Italy learns like Greece, then will NATO interfere or not?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, President Ford also chatted with Bellinger for a while to learn about the Italian leader. In fact, Italy's economy is much better than in history. It does not open a significant gap with Britain, France and Germany. It is considered to be a representative of European capitalist powers. However, it is obvious that the Soviet Union has a huge role in it. Compared with Britain, France and Germany, Italy's biggest advantage is that it governs from time to time and engages in mutually beneficial trade with the Soviet Union.
"Mr. Prime Minister, President Ford and Prime Minister Bellinger are talking. Are we going to go?" Gint Guillaume reminded the Federal German Chancellor Brandt around him that the Federal German Congress attaches great importance to this meeting. Including Federal German Chancellor Brandt, everyone believes that this is an opportunity for the United States to recognize the status of Federal German Congress.
World War II has ended for thirty years, and Germany is divided into two, and Democratic Germany stands on both sides of the two major camps. Moreover, the recent dissatisfaction of Democratic Germany caused by the expansion of the army in the Federal Republic of Germany has made the Federal Republic of Germany even more convinced that the Americans should understand that Western European countries are no longer the ruins they were originally, and the rights of the entire capitalist country should also be re-divided.
"Okay, let's go and take a look." Let the United States recognize the current economic status of Federal Germany, which is the main purpose of the itinerary of Federal German Chancellor Brandt. Otherwise, capitalist countries will compete with each other and the Warsaw Pact will see that there will be problems sooner or later. We can't find the Soviet Union to solve the economic crisis. So what confidence can we have to confront each other?
After greetings from several countries, the leaders of several countries entered the residence provided by France. Guillaume was able to see the entire process. He will also serve as Brandt's assistant to participate in the entire meeting.
President Ford also understood that it was time to divide interests again. The economy of Japan and the Federal Republic of Germany was so strong that it could not be supplemented by the United States. If the United States forced the two countries to continue to serve as a supporting system for American industry and make the two countries stagnate, the two countries will definitely be very dissatisfied.
All the allies of the Soviet Union were countries with a large area and a smaller population, while the allies of the United States were not large in size and had a large population. In the same 1970s, the entire Warsaw Pact was short of people, but NATO experienced an economic crisis, with an unemployment rate of 10% taking out.
"The United States is willing to work with France, Britain, the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan and Italy to overcome this economic crisis, adjust some policies and conduct fairer free trade." After several days of negotiations, US President Ford finally expressed his opinion at the summit.
