Chapter 1141: Major benefits

The dignified Soviet Russia, one of the two poles in the world, is undoubtedly the overlord of one party. Its ruling group is actually called "a bunch of prodigal stuff" by a kid who has no hair.
However, whether it is President Zia. Neither Huck nor Mahamud, the Minister of Equipment, felt that there was any contradiction-the halo on this kid who was mainly speaking was so dazzling, as far as they knew, this resource was definitely not a "Silicon Valley youngest rich man" "The title can be summarized simply.
"Let me say that in the entire upper class of Soviet Russia, there is no one who understands the economy. It is purely slapped up and fooled." Tan Zhenhua continued to make up for it: "A country actually invests 15% of GDP as a defense budget, except for the military. , I can’t find any words to describe it. What’s even more ridiculous is that this country with the largest land area in the world also has the largest and most fertile black land resources that are rare in all blue stars. One-third of the population of China cannot do the most basic thing. What is this not a prodigal thing?"
"Ahem..." Seeing Tan Zhenhua's endless complaints, Mahmoud had to pretend to cough a few times to remind him that this building was crooked.
Tan Zhenhua also realized that he was starting to run off the track, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
To be honest, just like most Chinese people of his age or older, he also has very conflicting and complicated feelings for Soviet Russia-comrades with common ideals, close comrades in arms, and selfless help. The big brother, the greedy predator, the overbearing neighbour who is accustomed to holding guns, and the enemy who looks like a foe... these words with opposite meanings can describe this country appropriately.
And the tragic end of its disintegration later made all Huaxia people secretly relieved to get rid of a strong enemy, but at the same time they inevitably sighed for the fall of a banner.
Mahmoud’s reminder made him calm his emotions in time. He paused slightly and turned back to the topic: "The huge profits and foreign exchange earned by exporting oil partially cover up the serious internal problems of Soviet Russia-through Continuous tracking and analysis of national industrial data, we found that since the 1970s, Soviet Russia’s industrial structure has been deteriorating. The performance is that the self-sufficiency rate of food has been declining year by year, and the light industry has almost collapsed, which has forced it to spend a lot of money every year. In other words, the Soviet Union made a lot of money, but spent more, and most of it was spent on consumables, instead of reinvesting it and turning it into internal This is one of the root causes of the difficult situation they face today."
"However, the good days will come to an end. The oil plummet and the skyrocketing food prices that have continued since the second half of 1985 are consuming the accumulation of Soviet Russia in previous years at an extremely fast rate, and its profitability has been affected. The fatal blow is mainly oil. Its price has been sideways at around US$12 per barrel for nearly 2 years. According to our calculations, because Soviet Russia’s oil fields are mainly stored in the Siberian tundra, According to current currency calculations, the cost of mining will not be less than US$16 per barrel. According to public data from the world oil market, we estimate that in the past year alone, the Soviet Union’s oil exports caused at least 30 million per day due to the plunge in prices. The loss of the US dollar means that its annual loss will exceed 10 billion US dollars; and the grain and non-staple food it imported last year reached a historical peak-43.2 million tons of cereals, 600,000 tons of meat, and 240,000 tons of butter. , 1.2 million tons of vegetable oil, 5.5 million tons of sugar... This created a very uncomfortable situation for Soviet Russia-in order to exchange foreign exchange for the purchase of materials to maintain the basic living needs of its citizens, even if the loss was staggering, he had to Continuing to export oil, I heard that during a certain period of foreign exchange shortages, Soviet Russia has even begun to use part of its gold reserves!"
Tan Zhenhua finished this in one breath, and took a breath. When his two listeners were still digesting the huge information content of his words, they made a concluding remark: "It can be said that Russia, as a country, has The basis of existence has largely relied on the supply of basic means of living in the international market, and its economic situation directly depends on the fluctuations in world oil prices and basic food prices!"
"So, Eric, you think that under the influence of this internal cause, Soviet Russia's foreign policy will have a major change, that is to say, you said that it will shift from an offensive policy to a contraction. What will happen to us in Pakistan? influences?"
Zia. Huck had obviously been persuaded by Tan Zhenhua's series of data and analysis, and asked with a more humble attitude.
"The most direct, I am afraid, is the war that took place by your side." Tan Zhenhua replied: "Mr. President, I have a set of statistics here: It has been 8 years since Soviet Russia invaded Afghanistan in 1979. The Soviet Union has successively invested more than 1.5 million people into Afghanistan to participate in the war or undertake various tasks. At present, there are about 115,000 permanent combat personnel. The average daily military expenditure is as high as 12 million U.S. dollars. It will burn nearly 4.4 billion a year. And the result? But it can only control a few central cities like Kandahar and some transportation routes. Not only did it fail to achieve its strategic goal of using Afkhan as a springboard to open up the transportation routes to the Indian Ocean, it also dragged down the accumulation. I have lost all of my family background. In such a war, there is still no hope of victory. How can the unjust war of aggression that has been unanimously condemned by the international community be fought? Therefore, there is no end to this war. A meaningful war will become a landmark event in the change of its foreign policy."
"Do you judge that Soviet Russia wants to withdraw from Afkhan?" Mahmoud couldn't help but blurt out.
Tan Zhenhua nodded and said: "Mr. Brigadier General, I really think so, and I also think that we will not wait too long for this day."
This is really an amazing judgment, regardless of Zia. The first time Huck or Mahmoud heard it was shock and sincere hope-if Tan Zhenhua's judgment is correct, then it will undoubtedly be a major benefit for Pakistan Railway!
At the same time, another idea emerged involuntarily with Tan Zhenhua's casually reported series of data-this Tan Zhenhua, studying the problems of Soviet Russia and Afkhan, I am afraid it will not be a day or two!
