Rebirth of the Evil Life

Vol 2 Chapter 5240: awkward

The Polish-Russian War ended with Komorowski's suicide. Of course, although the war is over, how to prevent future wars has become the number one problem for the EU and even the world. After all, this time, the Polish-Russian War, conservatively estimated that the casualties were as high as 1.5 million. This was the war with the largest casualties after the Korean War. And this war only lasted three days.

The three-day war caused such tragic casualties, which gave the world a more intuitive and correct understanding of modern warfare. In the previous wars, whether it was the First World War, the Second World War, or the Korean War, there has never been a war like the Polish-Russian War that would have killed so many people in such a short period of time. . This made everyone realize that the Third World War was a war of extinction, and it was by no means a joke.

To some extent, this time the Polish-Russian War gave most people a clear understanding of modern warfare. Civilized society must resist wars, especially large-scale wars. Once they break out, it will be the end of the world!

"Boss, this is the amber mining right passed from the Russian side." Melissa delivered the amber mining right certificate in the Kaliningrad region delivered by Putin's special order. Obtaining this certificate means that the amber mining right in the Kaliningrad region belongs to Lin Feng. No one can take this away.

"But boss, this Kaliningrad has just been bombed and the road is blocked. Even if the amber mine is mined, I am afraid it will not be shipped out. Unless we build the road!" Melissa muttered. She felt that Russia was using the forest wind to rebuild Kaliningrad.

Lin Feng smiled.

"This is just a small matter. Fix it. But this Kaliningrad is basically of no value to Russia. I don't think so, when will I get Putin to buy it!" Lin Feng thought.

Buy Kaliningrad? Melissa rolled her eyes. Putin did not hesitate to flatten Warsaw for the sake of Kaliningrad. Are you going to buy it now? Will Putin sell it? How could he sell. Isn't this a dream!

result. What made Melissa even more speechless was that Lin Feng called Putin directly to discuss the matter directly.

"President Putin. I have this amber mine, but the Kaliningrad Oblast was bombed and sloppy. You let me mine it, how can I transport it? Or, on your side, hurry up and invest in infrastructure! There is no way, I have this amber mine, which is equivalent to not having it!" Lin Feng directly asked to build the road.

"Lin, I want to fix it too. But I don’t have money. The war is the most expensive, and this time, I also gave up asking for compensation. Now I only have a lot of money for all kinds of pensions. You let me build roads. I have no money! What's more, in that barren land, you asked me to rebuild the road vigorously, which is a waste of money!" Putin said helplessly.

After this war. The few citizens of Kaliningrad all chose to return to Russia. This is too thrilling to live outside the homeland, and it is directly bombed. This is too insecure. And their home had been bombed a long time ago, so all the residents of Kaliningrad Region who had escaped from the war did not want to come back.

Of course, occasionally there are some elderly people who are unwilling to abandon their homeland and still choose to rebuild their homes in Kaliningrad. But for these few people, putting in a lot of money to rebuild a Kaliningrad that does not have much resources and has little strategic significance, Putin feels that it is not cost-effective. of course. This is mainly because Russia has no money. If you have money, you are naturally willing to repair it.

But Russia is currently in this environment. Western countries have suppressed intentionally or unintentionally, making Putin unable to develop even if he wants to develop. After all, the domestic infrastructure is lacking. Let's not talk about Kaliningrad, which is isolated from the mainland.

"But President Putin, if I don’t build roads, it’s useless if I got the amber mine. You can’t let me build roads. It’s okay to build roads, but how much does it cost? So much money. I can't make it back either!" Lin Feng curled his lips.

"Then you fix it, the big deal, I will give you tax relief!" Putin chuckled, then suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, "I said Lin Feng, what do you mean in your words, just say it if you have anything, don't give it to me Learn from those profiteers!"

Lin Feng laughed.

"President Putin, what I mean, that is to say, this Kaliningrad is waiting to be thriving, you let me invest, it is not impossible, but I am not a Russian, I can't give free love. Even if I am a Russian, Then I have never seen anyone who can give such free love. So, it is not impossible for me to build roads, but I have to make a profit!" Lin Feng said.

auzw.com "Let's say, what on earth do you want to do?" Putin faintly guessed Lin Feng's intentions.

"Alaska!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Alaska! Putin's nose twitched.

During the ice age about 15,000 years ago, most of the earth's surface was covered with ice and snow. The large tracts of land that sank on the ocean floor today stood above sea level, and one piece of it connected Alaska and Siberia. And for a long time, there was no one living in Alaska. Until June 1741, the Danish explorer Vitas Bering led a group of Russian sailors from Siberia to the east in search of the New World. They first discovered the mainland of Alaska on July 16, and the otters growing in the waters of Alaska became the biggest discovery of the expedition.

Of course, although Alaska is cold, it also has aboriginal people. Eskimos, Aleutians and Indians. However, the populations of these three races have always been extremely sparse. After all, the environment is too harsh. By now, the natives of Alaska have long been extinct.

After that, Russian hunters established a permanent settlement in Alaska, and then reproduced here. Alaska has also become one of the territories of Tsarist Russia. It's just that this barren land really doesn't make Tsarist Russia much interested in it. Manage it, waste money, don’t manage it. After all, this is the territory of Tsarist Russia. You have to allow ships from other countries to travel. That’s not a problem. This will damage the Russian state. Especially the British come here from time to time and say they want to occupy this place, which makes Tsarist Russia a headache.

Therefore, Tsarist Russia made a decision that he considered to be extremely smart, which was to sell this frozen soil for some money. However, at that time, the Tsarist Russian government had a bad reputation in the world and always invaded other countries. It was a typical robber, and there were few profiters in doing business with it. Especially in this place in Alaska, there is a frozen soil, who wants it!

This made Tsarist Russia helpless. At exactly this time, the Civil War broke out in the United States. Lincoln wanted to reunify the country, but the strength of the country was slightly weak. The main reason was that all countries in the world looked at the United States. Once the United States faces a split, the countries in the world will not mind dividing the United States at this time. Therefore, Lincoln borrowed troops from Tsarist Russia. Although the national power of Tsarist Russia was not very strong at the time, when it comes to weapons and equipment, it can be regarded as lagging behind such countries as Britain.

But the reputation of Tsarist Russia was there. After it came, it made the powers hesitate, and finally gave President Lincoln time, so that President Lincoln finally unified the United States. But the Tsarist Russian fleet has circled half the earth and went to New York Harbor. Although it has not fired a shot, it is also facing huge war expenses. For the Tsarist Russian government, which is already in a poor economic situation, it is even worse. Up.

At this time, William Henry Seward, then the Secretary of State of the United States, was very generous and said: We have just finished the war, and we are waiting for everything. But your country is not far away to help us. This kind of sentiment, like this, can't let you come in vain, don't you want to sell Alaska? Others don't want us to pay. Brother, you are so good to us, we must treat you badly. Isn't it second-hand? Don't mind with us, don't sell at a low price, we can pay as much as we can.

In the end, the United States bought Alaska for $7.2 million. In 1867, the Stars and Stripes were raised in Alaska for the first time. This is better than money, and now it seems that it is definitely worthless. But according to the prices at the time, the money was not cheap.

What were the prices at that time? One dollar can buy 0.05 ounces of gold, which is 1.417 grams of gold. How much gold is a gram now? It was about 280 yuan. What you could do with one dollar at that time, you can imagine. It can be said that the US$7.2 million is still a very high price for the Russian government. A frozen soil, frozen soil that no one wants, can be sold for 7.2 million US dollars, and the Tsarist Russian government is naturally happy.

But did Tsarist Russia take advantage? Later generations knew that the Russian government did not take advantage. But even at that time, it did not take advantage. Why?

At that time, the Russian fleet sent to support the United States was the Atlantic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet. The two fleets totaled more than 4.2 million rubles for a total of 12 warships, and then counted the deaths of soldiers due to sepsis in the midway, and so on. For various expenses of 788, the Russian government dispatched two fleets to support the United States this time, and the total expenditure was more than 7.2 million rubles. At that time, the ruble and the dollar were basically exchanged for equal value.

In other words, after the U.S. government paid 7.2 million US dollars to ask the Tsarist Russian fleet to stand for itself and help the United States complete the reunification of the North and South, it also earned a frozen Alaska that seemed useless by the way!

I have to say that the US government was very cunning at the time. The Tsarist Russian government at that time was very stupid. The United States bought frozen ground that you can’t sell at a high price. Is the Tsarist government still embarrassed to mention military expense reimbursement? You didn't fire a shot, are you still embarrassed to be reimbursed for military expenses? The Tsarist Russian government is naturally embarrassed to mention it. The result is naturally that the United States has taken advantage!

Then, after the discovery of oil and some minerals in Alaska, its value needless to say. Alaska has become a permanent pain for Russia.

Now, Lin Feng is going to buy Kaliningrad again, this makes Putin feel awkward for a while!
