In the winter of 1919, Moscow, the sky was covered with heavy snow, and the whole city was shrouded in a year-round blanket of silver.
After more than ten years of construction, the current Buru has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with just after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although, there is still not enough food to eat, and if there is a disaster year, famine will break out. However, in industry, they have made extremely significant achievements.
With the help of Germany, Buru rebuilt the industrial system. And on this basis, it independently developed its own aviation industry. Although it cannot be compared with Germany, it is already a very good achievement.
In terms of transportation facilities, there have also been great improvements. The western region has already built efficient railway and road networks. However, the leaders of Buru are not fools. They know that the Germany people are trying their best to encourage them to build transportation facilities and they obviously have no good intentions. Therefore, Buru also carried out targeted deployment. For example, the railway standard of Buru is different from that of Europe. They use narrow gauge, which means that the trains of Germany people cannot directly enter Buru through the railway and must be replaced. In addition, the road network is also sufficient to hit the western region, which is still some distance away from Moscow. It's not that Buru has no financial resources to continue construction, but they don't want German tanks and armored vehicles to go directly outside Moscow along these roads. If we have the financial resources to help the Germany people build these railways and roads, it is better to build more factories and produce more aircraft and tanks.
Up to now, the cooperation between Germany and Buru has basically ended. Buru did not propose to continue cooperation, and Germany also did not want to continue cooperation.
Buru does not want Germany's influence to further expand in the country. They know very well that there is no free lunch in the world. Germany people are so kind-hearted, all to prepare for the general's attack Buru. Besides, Germany is now the most powerful country in the world. Even if the leaders of Buru think that they are not weak, if they really want to fight Germany, they may have a hard time winning.
Germany also does not want to strengthen Buru's power. Now that their Hegemonic Status is completely stable, they are not worried that Buru will stand opposite Germany. In fact, Germany has listed Buru as the first target of World War's next demise. Only by destroying Buru first can Germany not have to worry about the enemy attacking the homeland. In this way, you will have enough strength to fight against other enemies. As long as the war does not threaten the homeland, then Germany will have enough strength to deal with the enemy. With the current industrial strength of Germany, coupled with the largest colony in the world, even dragging them can drag those enemies to death.
The offices of Kremlin, Joseph.
After the death of Ulyanov, Joseph used all his methods to finally defeat Trotsky and became the supreme leader of Buru. Over the years, he has been working hard to eliminate the influence of Ulyanov and Trotsky and consolidate his position. Only now can I breathe a little relieved.
"Comrade Joseph, Comrade Chicherin is here," the secretary reported.
"Let him in!" Joseph said
Soon, Buru People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Chicherin walked into Joseph's office.
"Comrade Joseph, hello!" Chicherin said hello respectfully.
"Sit down!" Joseph nodded. Now, he is enjoying the feeling of controlling everything brought by this kind of power more and more. He also felt that his efforts over the years had not been in vain and had finally paid off.
"Comrade Joseph, our comrades at the United States representative office reported that an unprecedented large-scale economic crisis has broken out in United States. Now, a large number of factories are closing down, a large number of people are losing their jobs, and the entire United States industry and economy are suffering heavy losses." Chicherin said.
"Hmph! The decadent capitalist countries are outdated after all, and they will inevitably be replaced by us!" Joseph said. However, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. You know, although United States was repeatedly defeated by Germany, they are still the most powerful country after Germany and the main force against Germany. If United States's strength is damaged, wouldn't it be impossible to contain Germany? When the time comes, what should we do if Germany launches an attack on Buru? This is not good news for Buru.
Even after becoming the supreme leader of Buru, Joseph has not relaxed his intelligence collection on Germany. This makes him very clear about the strength of Germany, and he also knows that with the strength of Germany, the current Buru is absolutely unable to fight against it.
"Comrade Joseph, I think this is an opportunity for us. Now, after the factories of United States went bankrupt, many of their machines and equipment are idle. If we can purchase them, this will further enhance our industrial strength. It will be very beneficial. More importantly, we will no longer be restricted by the Germany people and can obtain a lot of advanced equipment that we could not get from the Germany people before." Chicherin continued.
Joseph's eyes suddenly lit up. Although Germany was helping Buru build an industrial system. However, Germany is obviously not so selfless as to give the most advanced technology and equipment to Buru. What they give to Buru are outdated technologies and equipment. Of course, internationally, it can be considered mainstream. However, no matter how mainstream it is, it is still a technology from more than ten years ago. Even though Buru engineers are working hard to make improvements, the results achieved are not satisfactory yet. After all, this takes a long time to accumulate. During the last World War and civil war, Buru's industrial system suffered a devastating blow, especially the massive loss of talent, which made it very difficult for Buru to develop its industry independently.
Although, Joseph believes that they will be able to overcome those difficulties. But if you can get help from Americans, you can undoubtedly save a lot of money and time.
"Comrade Chicherin, your proposal is very good. I will ask the comrades of the Industrial Committee to send people to United States. At that time, we will also need the full assistance of the comrades of the Commissar for Foreign Affairs Association!" Joseph said.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph!" Chicherin nodded. He seemed very satisfied to be praised by Joseph.
Next, Joseph immediately called a meeting with Politburo member and proposed to them that they send people to United States to purchase machinery and equipment. Other Politburo members don't have any objections to this. After all, this is very beneficial to strengthening Buru's strength.
Therefore, Buru also tightened his belt and took the money to join in the bargain hunting of United States.
