Chapter 155, Heading to the Wasteland Soviet Union, Moscow, Kremlin, General Secretary Stalin's office Moscow is still very cold in March.
Although the remaining snow in winter has begun to melt slightly, the green vegetation has not yet sprouted.
The lingering power of the blizzard from the Arctic Ocean means that the sweet breath of the goddess of spring is far from reaching this land that is always loved.
A bitterly cold land ruled by General Winter.
Of course, the Russians who have lived here for generations have long been accustomed to such a cold climate.
Due to their natural cold resistance, many Russians had already taken off their thick fur coats and put on thin suits, work clothes and casual clothes at this time.
Beauty-loving Soviet girls even changed out of their bloated winter clothes early and put on stockings, dresses or plaid skirts, showing off their slender legs on the streets.
However, sitting in the office of General Secretary Stalin, with the warm and comfortable humidified heater blowing in front of him, the current People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, Comrade Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, still couldn't bear it at this moment.
I felt slightly chilly, even a little trembling.
As the head of diplomacy of the Soviet Union, Molotov has been thinking about how to end this war since the nuclear explosion on the United States and the defeat was certain.
From ancient times to the present, any war must have an end.
Either sign an armistice treaty, or directly destroy the country and annex the land, or After sending troops to invade the enemy's country, it cannot stand firm and has to pack up its luggage and return home in despair.
After all, it cannot continue fighting endlessly: the horrific consumption of modern war means that no matter how aggressive a country is, it cannot achieve the same goal.
War supports war, and we cannot remain in a state of war for a long time.
Although the United States of America is blessed with unique land and rich resources, it is too far away from the Soviet Union after all, and the population on that land is too large.
Even if the United States is forcibly annexed, it will not be able to digest it in the future, let alone control it.
So it’s better to stop when it’s good and stop when you feel better.
According to Molotov's idea, after winning the world war, the Soviet Union only needs to take back Alaska, which was originally sold to the United States by the Russian government at a low price, claiming that it was sold for US$7.2 million, but in fact it was already given away for free. , because during the Civil War, Russia sent a fleet to the United States to assist in countering rebellion, and spent 7.2 million on military expenses, which were never reimbursed afterwards.
However, the Tsarist Russian government was not stupid. and were so generous that they wanted to give away their country for nothing.
This is actually because after Russia's disastrous defeat in the Crimean War, its national power was greatly reduced, its finances collapsed, its internal instability was great, and it was quite hostile and isolated internationally.
The overall situation was worse than that of the Russo-Japanese War.
Times were worse, and the Alaska colony in North America could not be saved at all, so it had to take the initiative to avoid disaster.
This is the same reason that Britain had to abandon various colonies after World War II. , and then cutting off a large piece of western Canada would mean seizing the entire west coast of Canada, so that the Soviet Union's new territory in North America would have an ice-free port of Vancouver to maintain transportation, and that would be about the same.
In addition, the Hawaiian Islands, a transportation hub in the middle of the North Pacific, should be allowed to establish an independent country or be assigned to "Red Japan".
However, the remaining 48 states in the United States should not continue to encroach and carve up, lest they be divided up in one fell swoop Eat too much, stuff up your stomach However, although the land in the 48 core states of the United States no longer needs to be ceded, in addition to this poor "goodwill", other large compensation, garrison supervision, establishment of concessions, surrender of weapons and warships, disbandment of the federal army and The National Guard and other extremely harsh punishment clauses are indispensable.
In the past few months, Molotov has already made reference to the provisions against Germany in the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I, and customized a set of "Ten Tortures of Socialism" for the post-war United States.
It is absolutely It can squeeze the last drop of oil out of these arrogant and arrogant gay people, and at the same time make the United States become highly disabled socially and economically, unable to take care of itself, and there is no hope of relief within a few decades.
Therefore, in Molotov's view, as long as the United States accepts the above-mentioned "goodwill", obediently surrenders unconditionally, disarms its military, and then launches a large number of war criminals to be hanged on the gallows to show to the world, otherwise it will have said too many harsh words.
The Soviet Union has no way to deal with internal and external affairs, so it can promise to preserve the territorial integrity of the United States, and even the promise of the United States not to carry out socialist transformation is not non-negotiable.
If you want to continuously milk the cows from the defeated United States, you naturally cannot raise the cows themselves to death.
Of course, the United States today is still very "arrogant".
Although it has suffered so many nuclear bombs, it is still unwilling to surrender unconditionally.
However, Molotov confidently believes that as long as he continues to maintain a certain degree of military pressure and properly instigates internal rebellion against the American ruling class, he will be able to see the country kneel down and surrender in a very short period of time.
Anyway, now The situation has become very clear.
The United States is destined to be defeated.
Except for aliens who don't know where they are, there is no potential foreign aid to be found.
As long as there is a way to survive, even if it is a way of extreme humiliation and suffering, even if it is a way of survival that may not be possible, the American ruling class, which has been in desperate situation, will cling to it like a life-saving straw.
There are warriors in this world who would rather die than surrender, but there are very few politicians and capitalists who would rather die than surrender.
If there are, then it means they are not qualified.
However, at the same time, the current master of the Kremlin, the iron father of all peoples in the Soviet Union, the restorer of Constantinople, the great liberator of the entire European continent, the supreme teacher of the proletariat of the world, the contemporary Marxist-Leninist thought The orthodox heir of the Communist Party of China, the glorious epitome of red communism The successful person, Comrade Joseph Stalin, although he agreed with some of Molotov’s views of the People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs, that is, the Soviet Union should not take advantage of the victory to overexpand its territory, and should not ignore the obstacles of natural geographical conditions and the difficulty of national integration, and want to seek states in the United States.
County to avoid indigestion problems.
However, General Secretary Stalin had his own set of ideas on how to deal with the post-war United States.
What he wanted was not an America that paid tribute every year but still had strength, held a grudge, and thought about revenge at any time, but wanted An America that was completely destroyed, leaving only the historical record "I insist that the United States of America must be completely destroyed and become a relic of history, just like the ancient Roman Empire."
Sitting behind the desk opposite Commissar Molotov, General Secretary Stalin held his beloved pipe in his mouth, slowly blowing smoke rings, and in a tone as cold as a cold wave, delivered the final verdict of death to the United States of America: "The Treaty of Versailles only brought an armistice to Europe for twenty years, and it also made Germany once again the source of world war.
France even Therefore, today we must not make the mistake of the Allied Powers at the Paris Peace Conference again, letting go of the poisonous snake that may bite us in the future just for the sake of temporary gains.

In fact, France After World War I, it seems that I didn’t receive much compensation from Germany in the end, and most of it was defaulted, wasn’t it?”
"Even if we do this at the cost of being the victors of the war, we gain nothing."
Molotov boldly asked, "Comrade General Secretary, judging from the current situation, if we want to get a steady stream of money from the United States in the future, The best and most trouble-free way to continue to gain profits while trying to suppress the status of the United States is not to make the United States become like us.
A socialist country, but will continue to retain the backward system of the United States.
In the future, this will be a special kind of pariah status, which will make Americans despised everywhere on the earth where red flags are planted, and they will also suffer from inferior status and inferiority.
The even worse living conditions, without the sympathy of public opinion, eventually slowly prompted American civilians to stand up and overthrow the old system.
On the contrary, if we insist on carrying out socialist transformation of the entire United States during this war, on the one hand, it will arouse the desperate resistance of the American ruling class.
They would rather watch us destroy everything they have with nuclear bombs than give in.
They can also pack up their property and flee to South Africa for refuge; on the other hand, this kind of brutal one-step approach will not get the sincere support and active cooperation of the people at the bottom of the United States.
After all, the scale of killing by nuclear bombs is too horrific, and the hatred it brings is real.
It is difficult to resolve.
All in all, the cost of this approach is too high and the gain outweighs the loss.”
"However, my original intention was to make the American ruling class give up on themselves in despair and cooperate with us to destroy everything in the United States.
In fact, I never intended to send the Red Army to the United States in order to allow the American people to enter the socialist family.
Thousands bled and sacrificed.
Let me tell you, the so-called comprehensive socialist transformation of the United States is actually, from a certain perspective, just a cover to block the road to peace talks and make the entire socialist camp speechless.
I just want to see the complete destruction of the United States of America and hear the complete playing of the funeral song of capitalism.
At this point, I have communicated with other committee members and convinced them to agree with my point of view. " Stalin opened his mouth and blew out a smoke ring, and said frankly, "The United States will either be completely destroyed or completely dyed red.
There is no third option."
"Comrade Stalin, do you still think that it is possible for the United States to become the leader of the capitalist camp again in the future and once again have the strength to challenge the entire socialist camp?
This is impossible.
Whether it is soft power or hard power, the United States has now completely It’s bankrupt” Molotov shook his head and said, "Even if the American capitalist system is retained, they will only be able to survive for a while at most."
"I also know that the possibility is unlikely, but there is still a little flaw.
If I don't make up for it, I won't be able to rest at ease."
Seeing that Stalin was so obsessed with destroying the United States, Molotov stopped trying to persuade him, but there was still some hesitation and confusion on his face.
General Secretary Stalin knew this very well, so after thinking for a moment, he continued to say to Molotov calmly: "Comrade Molotov, you should still remember that the incredible Miss Sophie first appeared in Kremlin, tell us some terrible information."
"Yes, I still remember it all."
People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov didn't know what he remembered, and nodded with a complicated expression.
"I don't know what you think.
In short, since then, I have found that I seem to have become a drowning man trying to grasp life-saving straws.
You know, from a rational point of view, we The birth of a country is equivalent to the largest social science experiment in the history of human civilization.
Since it is an experiment, it must take a path that others have not taken, and will bear more risks than other countries.
At the beginning, we had reached a consensus that we were going to use a long period of peace-building to meet the people's material needs as soon as possible, or to take a more efficient capitalist road first to achieve the conditions of great material abundance as much as possible. , and then entered the socialist stage.
This is the greatest advantage of our highly centralized political system based on the integration of the party and the state, which can fully eliminate waste and internal friction in all kinds of disorderly free competition.
But the problem is that the crazy hostility from the capitalist camp around the world has forced our country to face unprecedented threats from the very beginning, forcing us to change our original plan.
The newly born Soviet must be strong enough in the shortest possible time. heavy industry to face the oppression of old capitalist countries.
Moreover, there is no way to collect the massive wealth accumulated through industrialization relatively easily through the scissors' gap exploitation of the colonies like the Western countries in the colonial era.
We can only reduce people's consumption through internal scissors and use blood and tears to make the country Running enters the industrial age.
It's not that we are ruthless, there really is nothing we can do.
Compared with our terrible enemies all over the world, the power of the Soviet Union is too weak.
Next, the leapfrog development of the Great Depression era has not yet been truly completed, and the entire Soviet country is still riddled with all kinds of diseases.
We will once again face the terrible threat of Nazi and fascist forces.
Fortunately, the following history has been greatly changed by us.
The sacrifices that the world war brought to the Soviet people were still huge, but numerically they were much less than in another history.
Our enemies have been weakened to a level that can basically be ignored, and the Cold War that exhausted and exhausted the Soviet people will no longer happen again.

It seems that everything is developing towards the bright side. " Stalin let out a long sigh: "But despite this, in the past year, I have been having a very terrifying dream inexplicably.
In my nightmare, the long years of peace have made our people forget the sufferings of the past. , the glorious history of the past has been smeared and tampered with, and the whitewashing and clamoring of a small group of hypocritical literati have made the relationship between black and white, justice and evil , it is no longer so clear.
Although the all-pervasive enemy of capitalist reaction cannot defeat us on the battlefield, it can use all kinds of degenerate ideas to silently corrupt our youth, and use all kinds of evil deception and hypocrisy.
The promises made by the government have allowed the greed and ambition of the bureaucrats to grow rapidly, destroying from within the great cause for which we have worked all our lives.
In the end, the red flag of the Kremlin fell and the hammer-and-sickle party emblem was smashed.
The confused people were deceived by the rhetoric of class enemies, incited and coerced by bureaucrats with ulterior motives, and destroyed their own country with their own hands, and then there was overwhelming evil. , Blood and Darkness” In response, Molotov, who also knew some secrets, laughed dryly: "I see, you are overthinking it, and none of this will happen."
"Yes, all the tragedies and tragedies of the Soviet Union in that world should never happen again.
However, that nightmare is so real that I really don't dare to think that it is just a dream.
I have already had this nightmare.
For many years, now I want to keep it completely away from me No matter what cruel decisions I make and what kind of infamy I bear, I must personally liberate myself, this country, and the socialist cause we have fought for all our lives from this damn nightmare.
Anyway, the brutal rule of the past and present No one more than me."
Stalin spoke so softly, but his expression was stern and solemn, "You can laugh at my lack of self-confidence and lack of rationality, but I just can't overcome this fear of the future in my heart.
There are many other comrades too.
I don't know how to overcome such inner demons in this world.
In the world, what kind of deadly and powerful enemies the Soviet Union and the socialist cause will encounter in the future, but this does not prevent me from, when I have the ability, to treat this enemy that I have known and confirmed as having the potential to completely destroy the Soviet Union and the socialist cause.
He was knocked to the ground by punches, stepped on by ten thousand feet, and crushed into a pulp alive.
While it would be nice to leave the United States to continue squeezing wealth, it is nothing compared to getting rid of the fear that lingers in our hearts.
As an ordinary person, I personally feel that this is nothing to be ashamed of.
Even the ancient Roman Republic, which was so proud and confident, was still resolute after the Third Punic War because of its fear of Hannibal.
Completely destroying the city of Carthage, the cornucopia that could have continuously brought wealth to Rome, and even spreading salt on the ruins of Carthage, symbolizing that this land will forever lose its vitality."
Seeing that Comrade Stalin had obviously made up his mind, Molotov sighed, "Have you already decided?
Are you afraid that you will regret it in the future?"
"Well, I have decided that instead of regretting not doing it many years later, it is better to do it first and then regret it later."
Stalin took the pipe out of his mouth, banged it on the ashtray a few times, then stuffed new tobacco into it and said decisively.
"Well, now that you have made such a decision, may I ask you what your next plan is?"
Molotov continued to ask.
"Well, first of all, we need to continue to make Americans more fully aware of the value of peace and the horror of war.
To put it simply, it means to start strategic nuclear strikes against the United States again and the scale of nuclear explosions will further increase.
The frequency of bombings will also increase.”
Stalin showed a creepy smile on his face, "Currently, the number of atomic bombs in the Soviet nuclear arsenal has increased to 10,000.
It would be such a waste if at least half of them cannot be used during a world war.
Last year, Miss Sophie sent it to me I bought a computer game called Fallout as a birthday gift.
This adventure game with the United States as the background map is very good.
My children and I like to play it, and other committee members also like it very much.
Therefore, I hope to make the United States.
People also play Fallout, of course, in live action.”
After hearing this, Molotov, who had also played the Fallout series of games, couldn't help but reach out and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
He really wanted to turn the United States into a radioactive wasteland in the game.
This alone would only cost less than five times the equivalent of 10,000 pieces.
A 10,000-ton atomic bomb is probably not enough.
Moreover, there should not be so many messy underground shelters in the United States at the moment.
I wonder if there will really be Nuclear Bomb Town, Death Claw, Nuka Cola, Mutants, Brotherhood of Steel, and Ink in a few years.
Ray and the New California Republic appeared on that land So, recalling the contents of the game, People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov soon fell into some kind of wonderful reverie of running further and further away. s: The author also has some digressions to say about the historical story of Russia’s forced sale or “gift” of Alaska to the United States.
Historically, some of the “stupid” actions that we now consider to be voluntary land transfers are actually because the information we now obtain is often incomplete.
Behind those seemingly generous concessions, there are often factors of last resort or exchange of interests. .

For example, in the Treaty of Nerchinsk, which is often criticized in modern China, why the Qing army ceded land to Russia after its victory was not entirely because Emperor Kangxi was too stupid or too generous, and gave away the land to others for ostentation.
It was because Emperor Kangxi hoped to exchange a few concessions in the outer northeast for Russia's cooperation in the northwest, so that he could join the Qing army in a flanking attack or at least stop supporting Galdan's Jungar Khanate.
If the Qing Dynasty failed to conquer this last nomadic empire, then China's northwest border would only reach Jiayuguan, and even Tibet might not be able to be saved.
Compared with the Western Region, which has a long history and outstanding people, the small piece of wilderness given over by the Treaty of Nerchinsk is nothing. oshow7:
