"Comrade Stalin, this is China's embargo list against us."
Molotov, the Soviet People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, handed a document to Stalin with an embarrassed expression.
"Comrade Molotov, why do you have this expression on your face?
Is it strange that their request is strange?"
Stalin raised his head and saw the constipated expression on the other side.
He was curious about what could make this old Soviet diplomat so weird, so he took the document and looked at it.
At this glance, the same expression appeared on his face. "" Stalin was stunned for a while, then twitched his lips: "Comrade Molotov, what do you mean the Chinese have embargoed pandas, folding fans, caviar and polar bears to us?
Well, and what kind of iron ore is this?
stone, wood, oil and natural gas.
When did the Chinese export iron ore, wood, oil and natural gas to us?”
"It seems like it has never happened before.
They all import these things from us."
Molotov shook his head.
Yes, this list is somewhat different from what the Germans received.
The first few items on the embargo list are still very formal, including iron ore, coal, timber, oil and natural gas, etc.
These are all considered strategic materials.
But there is a problem here, that is, these things do not need to be imported by the Soviet Union.
On the contrary, these things are still a large exporter of the Soviet Union, and the largest buyer is China.
If these things are somewhat reliable, the long list of things listed later is more embarrassing.
Among them are pandas, penguins, folding fans, screens, calligraphy, lanterns, Japanese swords, clogs, dromedary camels, Arabian scimitars, caviar, and polar bears are some inexplicable things.
Even with his experience as a bearded man, he was shocked by this inexplicable embargoed list.
"It seems that China wants to show its justice and doesn't want to give up business with us, hahahahaha."
The bearded man laughed.
He patted the list and said in an extremely contemptuous tone: "Comrades , take a look, this is the face of the revisionists, they are like this, they want to stand on the moral high ground and make decisions, but they don’t want their own interests to be harmed, so they have such ridiculous things.”
Stalin lit up his pipe and said with a smile: "Look, even Yunnan cut tobacco has not been included in the embargoed list.
I have already made preparations to use cut tobacco from other places in the future."
"Hahahaha" everyone laughed.
"So, Comrade Stalin, how should we reply?"
Molotov asked.
"How to reply?"
Stalin smiled and said: "Since China does not want to fall out with us, then we should not irritate them too much.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should issue a statement expressing regret."
The next day, the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement, understatedly stating that it regretted the sanctions imposed by the People's Revolutionary League.
In the afternoon of the same day, Berlin also issued a statement expressing regret for the sanctions imposed by the People's Revolutionary League, and the tone was also understatement.
This list may seem ridiculous, but there really were similar ones in the history of the original time and space.
That was after Italy invaded Abyssinia and Ethiopia.
The League of Nations declared Italy an aggressor and imposed economic sanctions on Italy.
The long list of embargoes given by the League of Nations included horses, donkeys, and mules. , camel, caviar and some other inexplicable things, but comically it does not include coal, steel and oil.
The only thing that can be called a strategic material is bauxite, which Italy has no shortage of.
What Italy really fears is an oil embargo against it, because oil-poor Italy cannot fight this war if it cannot get oil from abroad.
However, oil was not included in the League of Nations embargo list.
In addition, the British-controlled Suez Canal did not block the invaders, and Italian ships continued to transport soldiers and weapons to Abyssinia unimpeded.
The League of Nations' sanctions, which were loud but insignificant, not only failed to stop Italy's aggression against Abyssinia, but brought two benefits to Mussolini.
The first benefit is that he has won more support at home.

At the beginning, Mussolini confused right and wrong and insisted on describing this naked war of aggression as a war of self-defense against aggression.
However, because his words were unfounded and unbelievable, and Italians were not fools, they certainly could not be deceived.
Therefore, the response from the public was lukewarm, and not many people responded to his call to join the volunteer army.
After the League of Nations condemned Italy and imposed sanctions, Mussolini made a big fuss about it and publicized that Italy was in crisis.
As a result, the Italians believed his deception and instead united under the banner of defending the country, allowing Mussolini to win the hearts of the people.
The second advantage is that he can carry out massacres and three blazes in Abyssinia more unscrupulously.
After the war began, Mussolini attempted to have a traitor he paid to kidnap Abyssinian Emperor Haile Selassie to Italy.
Later, when I saw that the League of Nations was so ineffective, I immediately became more forceful.
Mussolini not only ordered his air force to carry out uncontrolled bombing of Abyssinian cities and villages, but also authorized General Badoglio to use terrorist methods at will, including the destruction of villages and the large-scale use of poison gas, even when necessary Use germ weapons to spread infectious diseases.
Badoglio acted as ordered and used a large amount of poison gas.
As a result, more than 270,000 soldiers and civilians in Abyssinia were gassed to death, and more than 400,000 innocent residents were massacred.
Italy on this plane didn't have this opportunity, so naturally it couldn't get the embargo list, so it became an embargo against Soviet Germany by the People's Revolutionary League.
As for why it was not in the name of the League of Nations, that is because Germany is one of the eight permanent members and they have used their veto power, so it can only be implemented by each country.
Naturally, other countries also obtained the People's Revolutionary League's sanctions list against Soviet Germany.
At this time, in the Prime Minister's Office of the Matignon Palace in Paris, several bigwigs from the Allied Powers were discussing countermeasures.
"Wen Desi is so despicable and shameless.
Are these things called trade sanctions?
Germany and the Soviet Union don't need these things at all.
There are giant pandas and red pandas, even camels and rhinoceros.
It's nothing."
British Prime Minister Chamberlain He slapped the table and shouted: "Germany needs oil and rubber, and the Soviet Union needs advanced machinery and precision instruments.
These are what they need.
Why doesn't Wen Desi embargo these things to them?"
"The most egregious thing is that they only imposed sanctions on Germany and the Soviet Union, but did not impose sanctions on their allies.
In other words, even if the Soviet Union and Germany wanted these things, they only needed to transfer them through their allies."
French Prime Minister Maigret He also looked indignant.
These two people probably would not have thought that in the original history of time and space, it was Britain and France who took the lead and issued the list embargoing camels and caviar to Italy.
Now it's just a role reversal.
Is there any need to be so excited?
And unlike the list created by Britain and France in the original time and space, which was for appeasement policy, China created this list just so that its business would not be affected.
Just business, nothing more.
Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio de Oliveira Salazar smiled and said: "Gentlemen, it seems that China's reaction is within our expectations.
Their attitude is very clear.
As they said, they do not want to get involved in European affairs.
But they also wanted to show a cheap sense of moral superiority, so they came up with such a farce-like sanction."
This man is also a strongman.
He has been the dictator of Portugal since 1932 until now.
In the history of the original time and space, he served as the dictatorial leader of Portugal and ruled Portugal for 36 years from 1932 to 1968.
He was controversial throughout his life, but in 2007, he was voted the "Greatest Portuguese".
The dictatorship established by Salazar was also a regime with a strong fascist flavor, but what was different was that this regime was relatively mild compared to other fascists.
Moreover, it maintained good-faith neutrality towards the Allies in World War II and gave the Azores Islands to the Allies.
This was one of the reasons why Portugal was able to survive on its own.
However, in this plane, Portugal cannot remain neutral.
Just kidding, they lost almost all their colonies in World War I and were completely reduced to a third-rate bastard.
No one can calm down about this kind of thing.

Thinking about the awesome idea back then that "the earth is divided into two parts, one half belongs to Spain and the other half belongs to Portugal", and then look at the current situation, it is impossible to say that Salazar has no idea in his heart.
Of course, neutrality means staying out of things and staying aloof, but on the other hand, it is impossible to benefit from the feast of partition.
Portugal in this plane has lost everything, so Salazar also adopted the image of a barefoot bachelor who is not afraid of wearing shoes, and is ready to give it a try.
But Portugal alone will definitely not be able to defeat those big gangsters.
If it still wants to make money back, it will naturally have to cling to the thighs of Britain and France.
If the Allies can defeat other gangs, Portugal can also share some benefits.
Washington, White House.
"Oh, damn, are they preparing to impose an embargo on zoos in the Soviet Union and Germany?"
Cactus President Garner said angrily: Secretary of State Cordell Hull said with a wry smile: "What they did is nothing more than a normal strategy to prevent trade with Germany from being affected."
"It seems that the Chinese are all money-seeking guys.
Are they all relatives of the Jews?
I have always felt that the Chinese Exclusion Act was so right.
Theodore really shouldn't have repealed it."
Classmate Cactus is a typical Texas redneck.
He dislikes people of color very much.
In his opinion, people with non-white skin are not considered human beings.
To his regret, that lovely Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed by Master Luo.
Hull pretended not to hear these words.
He couldn't help but vomit in his heart: If you have the ability, just go and persuade the lords in Congress to reinstate this bill.
See if you will be sprayed with saliva by the old man.
"Yeah, okay, let's forget about this bill."
Seeing the other party's disapproving expression, Garner also reacted.
Although he is a redneck, he is also a politician, not a middle schooler.
He naturally knows that some things can only be talked about.
With the huge trade volume between China and the United States, it may be more difficult to convince the congressmen in Congress to restore the Chinese Exclusion Act than it would be for him to be re-elected for three consecutive terms.
For these capitalists, as long as they can make money, it doesn't matter what color the other person's skin is.
Not to mention yellow people, even black people are still their guests.
Regarding this point, not to mention the United States, even Germany, which has been promoting racism since Mustache came to power, has also introduced a very comic supplementary bill.
They solemnly declared in the official media: The Chinese can also be regarded as Yali'an people.
They are a branch of the Yali'an people who migrated eastward, so they are also noble.
And because the Japanese have a large amount of Chinese ancestry mixed in, they can also be regarded as honorary Yalian people.
Later, they also produced various archaeological evidence to prove this statement.
Where this evidence comes from, only God knows.
Regarding the mustache's behavior, many Chinese people expressed dumbfounded expressions: I bought a watch last year, and the super wear-resistant Wen Desi was so shocked that it was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
I couldn't help but vomit: I finally know, South Korea People are not alone.
It’s not surprising that the mustache would do this.
You must know that most of the important strategic materials such as oil, natural gas, copper ore, and rubber needed by Germany, as well as necessary medicines and electronic products such as panacea, are imported from China and the countries of the Federation of Human Revolution.
At the same time, these The country also provides a large market for German products.
The most important thing is that Germany is now looking to China in many technical aspects.
In the face of this kind of relationship, any politician with a normal IQ knows how to choose.
Mustache is not a middle-class person.
No matter how much he hates Chinese people in his heart, he neither will nor dares to cause any unpleasant things with China.
Therefore, in the face of practical interests, doctrines and all are just clouds.
Germany is like this, let alone the United States.
China imports large amounts of oil, natural gas, helium, rare earths, silver ores and other industrial raw materials from the United States every year, as well as a large number of agricultural products such as dairy products and beef.

At the same time, he also held various medicines needed by the United States, as well as advanced machinery and electronic products.
If a Ghanaian student dares to propose something like reinstating the Chinese Exclusion Act in Congress, those congressmen who are directly concerned with China will spray him into pieces without China saying anything.
"Well, those Chinese people have gone a lot anyway, so we don't have to be evil people."
Garner also knows how many people in the country are pointing to China for food and wealth.
These people will not give him face, so he will.
I found a step myself.
Indeed, although the United States has abolished the Chinese Exclusion Act, Wen Desi is not enthusiastic about it.
He not only discourages Chinese people from going to the United States, but also calls on Chinese people in the United States to return to the country, or go to South America, Australia, Canada and other places, and all this It’s convenient, but don’t go to the United States anyway.
In this era, Wen Desi's appeal in the Chinese world is unimaginable.
Many Chinese in the United States have returned to China one after another, or have gone to South America, Australia and other places.
Anyway, most Chinese Americans have left the United States one after another.
Americans don't understand Wen Desi's thoughts, but they welcome this approach, especially red necks like Ghana.
At present, there are less than 50,000 Chinese in the United States.
Most of these people are the old and the young who are hostile to the new Chinese regime, as well as some traitorous compradors and other hostile elements who have done too many bad things and are afraid of being liquidated.
There are also some banana people who have fully integrated into American society, as well as people who disapprove of Wen Desi and think that going elsewhere will not be better than staying in the United States.
Wen Desi would not care about these people.
He would never force them on such issues.
Anyway, they would regret it in the future.
Therefore, the cancellation of the Chinese Exclusion Act by Master Luo in this plane is dispensable to Wen Desi, and he does not care about it at all.
"Let's talk about this embargo again," Garner continued.
Cordelherr spread his hands helplessly and said: "Because this embargo proposal is not enforced by the League of Nations, but a private initiative among various countries, and does not stipulate what is required.
So in theory, even if they only ban The move to wipe the tablecloths was also in response to the call of the League of Nations.
Moreover, our country’s proposal for an embargo against the Soviet Union and Germany has still not been passed, so we do not blame China’s position on this issue.”
Indeed, the Chinese are not the only ones who do not want to be affected by the embargo in making money.
There are also a large group of people in the United States, which is why the embargo proposal in the United States has not been passed.
Although China's embargo list seems to be just a formality, the United States is not even going through the motions, so they have no position to accuse.
"Okay, let's not talk about the Chinese.
These Eastern relatives of the Jews are profiteers.
They will not let go of any opportunity to make money."
Garner covered his forehead and said helplessly: "Since the Chinese If we don’t want to get involved, then our plan will have to be adjusted.”
Secretary of State Hull said: "However, Mr.
President, it is difficult for us in the United States to intervene in the problems of Bohemia and Finland.
Congress will not allow us to intervene too much."
"It would be great if Europe started to fight over this again.
In this way, we can completely get out of the economic crisis," Ghana said with some emotion.
Hull thought for a while and said: "This is difficult, Mr.
President.
Now Britain and France are obviously appeasing the Soviet Union, and China is staying out of the matter and is unwilling to intervene.
So it will be difficult for them to fight.
This requires an opportunity, but it certainly won't It would be Bohemia and Finland.
It would take a big interest to induce them to clash, but I don't see the opportunity yet."
Objectively speaking, "Cactus" Ghana's New Deal is quite effective.
The New Deal in 1933-1934 focused on "revival".
The main measures were: maintaining bank credit, devaluing the US dollar, stimulating foreign trade, restricting agricultural production to maintain agricultural product prices, and preventing farmers from going bankrupt; setting agreed prices to reduce competition between enterprises, Stop business failures.
The New Deal that began in 1935 focused on relief and reform.

The main measures include: more powerful use of administrative intervention, slow inflation, extensive public works construction and emergency relief, and implementation of social insurance to expand employment opportunities and improve social security.
Purchasing power; carry out tax reform, pay taxes according to tax payment ability, levy corporate income tax and excessive profits tax at different levels, etc.
The Ghana New Deal restored public confidence in the U.S. political system and strengthened the authority of federal government agencies and strengthened centralization.
As a result, American industry and agriculture gradually recovered.
At the end of his first term in 1936, faced with a 50% increase in national income, Garner described eloquently on the "Roadside Talk" program: "At this moment, the factory machines are playing music in unison, the market is booming, and the banks are booming.
Credit is strong, cars and ships are running full of passengers and cargo, and the economy of the United States has fully recovered."
Therefore, it is not surprising that he was re-elected president in 1936.
However, his statement that "the U.S. economy has fully recovered" is obviously just political propaganda and is very watery.
In fact, so far, the U.S. economy has not been able to recover to the level of 1929.
More importantly, the "Ghana New Deal" is to put it bluntly, it means cutting off the grain and overdrafting huge deficits in the future to stimulate the economy.
If this situation continues for a few years, the U.S. government will not be able to sustain it.
If we can't find a buyer to foot the bill, everything will be ruined.
If the U.S. government's credit collapses and its finances go bankrupt, the consequences will be disastrous.
Even the most optimistic estimates suggest that it can last for at most three years.
If this big financial hole cannot be filled, it may be a revolution by then.
And with such a big plate, there is generally no way to deal with it.
The only way is a war, a large-scale war like World War I.
Once war breaks out, this problem will be solved.
Of course, it would be best for this war to break out in Europe or East Asia.
It would be great if competitors like Europe and China could come together.
So now, the one who most hopes for a war to break out is the US government.
They look forward to the stars and the moon every day, hoping that others will fight, but now it seems that it is unlikely in East Asia.
China is the dominant country there.
Whoever dares to fight with it can fight with it.
Only Europe, where several groups have intertwined forces, is most likely to cause conflicts.
Of course, the United States is not just waiting.
They have also adopted many methods to promote this matter overtly and covertly.
This tactic of sowing discord may be effective for individuals, but at the national level, it is too naive.
In order for countries to merge, they must rely on interests, and they are still very big interests, an interest that is enough to make several parties unable to bear it.
At this time, a secretary hurried in and handed a document to Ghana: "Mr.
President, the Mobil Oil exploration team discovered a large oil field in the North Sea."
"Beihai" Garner's heart moved and he quickly took the document.
Sure enough, it is a big oil field.
The Mobil Oil exploration team discovered a very huge oil and gas field on the continental shelf of the North Sea.
According to the estimates of Mobil Oil experts, the most conservative estimate is 30 billion barrels.
Garner and Hull looked at each other, and both saw excited sparks in each other's eyes
