Respectfully

Chapter 268

Entering October, the European section of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which was suspended due to the civil war between the Soviet Union and the White Army, resumed its operation.

Although it took a lot of time to repair the rails and station facilities, and the running carriages looked old and behind the times, the sound of the train whistle sounded again, and all the Russians present waved their hats excitedly.

After the "Ufa Peace Agreement" was signed, the Soviet Russian government and the Belarusian government began to implement new economic policies respectively.

Soviet Russia replaced the surplus grain collection system with a grain tax, returned some of the factories and shops that had been nationalized after 1918 to private individuals, and planned to lease some of the enterprises to foreign businessmen and domestic capitalists in exile during the revolution.

This series of measures has been opposed by many people, but Vladimir insists that restoring the domestic economy is more important than anything else.

"There is no sound of machinery in the factory, no figure of labor in the field, just look, what kind of life our people are living? No job, no bread, no doctor when sick, no everything necessary to maintain life!"

"Thousands of factories are closed, and the development of agriculture is almost at a standstill. What do we need? What can we do? It is to keep the gears of this country running, and to restore hope to our people!"

"It's not enough to end the war, it's not enough!"

The speeches of Vladimir and Kirov at the leadership meeting were published in full in the newspapers.

Muscovites once again flooded the streets, they gathered together and shouted loudly, what they need now is not doctrine, but bread, clothes, and shoes!It is a job that can feed a family, and it is a farm tool that can plow the field!

The situation in Belarus is the same, but they are luckier than Soviet Russia. The railway section from Omsk to Central Siberia has not been destroyed, and a large number of Chinese goods can be transported to West Siberia by railway.

Li Jinyan almost emptied the warehouse, and most of the businesses in the six provinces also took action. Truck after truck of flour, canned food, blankets, soap towels and other daily necessities were exchanged for a lot of real money.

Although the military officers and Tsarist Russian nobles who gathered around Kolchak lost some of their properties during the revolution, the jewelry, pocket watches, pipes and even gemstone buttons on their coats they carried with them could come in handy.

To survive or to maintain decency?Most people will choose the former.

"Except for real gold, silver, precious stones and antiques, I only accept Dayang and Huaxia banknotes."

Li Jinyan has become a benchmark for the actions of merchants in the six northern provinces. Merchants who would have accepted pounds and dollars began to shake their heads at the banknotes of other countries that the Russians took out.The Chinese merchants who set up factories in Belarus used Chinese currency to purchase raw materials, sell goods, and pay workers' salaries.

If things go on like this, subtly, the Chinese currency has become the currency in circulation throughout Belarus, which in turn affects Soviet Russia and some countries and regions in Central Asia.Later, Ukraine, Lithuania, southern Finland, and eastern Norway also began to use Chinese currency in large quantities.

In addition to the Korean Peninsula, the Ryukyu Islands, Hokkaido and Kyushu Island in Japan, northern Myanmar, and northern Vietnam, Huaxia currency is almost all over Asia.In these countries and regions, in addition to the national currency, the most widely circulated currency is the Huaxia currency.

Later generations have a vivid name for this "Huayuan District".

In this way, Li Sanshao smuggled to the United States while infiltrating Russia. At the same time, he did not forget to remind Marshal Lou that if he had the opportunity, he could get in touch with the future local tyrants in the Middle East.Not long after the Paris Peace Conference, the Europeans did not carve up the Middle East so quickly, so they could always establish friendship with a few local tyrants who suffered bitterly and deeply.

Liao Qiting's business in the south has also improved, and he is currently devoting himself to developing a shipping company. Not long ago, he sent a telegram to Li Jinyan.Different from the north, the south, especially in Shanghai and other places, has British and French shipping companies. If Liao Qiting wants to develop, he must first compete with them.Only when you win can you really gain a firm foothold.

When mentioning shipping, Li Jinyan thought of the two new freighters launched by John Shipping Company, one was manufactured by Dalian Shipyard, and the other was bought from a shipyard in the United States.

Regardless of displacement and performance, Li Jinyan has a lot of opinions on the name of one of the freighters.

William Portal.

When John happily told him that this was the largest freighter of the shipping company so far, Li Jinyan felt that the name of the ship was familiar. After returning to Guanbei, he saw the news about the US president in the newspaper, and he was shocked.

No wonder it sounded familiar to him!

The USS William D. Porter, a well-known American destroyer in the history of World War II, bombarded the Naval Base Command, almost killed Roosevelt with a torpedo, and was "sent" into the sea by the plane he shot down.

Compared with the Portal, the three Japanese navy auspicious ships are not enough to see at all, and no matter how auspicious they are, I have never seen them firing at the emperor.If they can work hard to learn from the Portal, the history of World War II may be changed because of it.

"Rename, you must change your name!"

Li Jinyan sent three telegrams to John in a row. The content of the telegrams was exactly the same. The merchant ship must be renamed, otherwise it would not be allowed to enter the water.Superstition or not, anyway, his merchant ship cannot be called such an unfortunate ship name!

For Li Jinyan's insistence, John was a little baffled, shrugged his shoulders, and renamed the new ship.

A storm of "squatting" disappeared, and the famous Porter will still continue its "brilliance" in World War II.

Li Jinyan is relieved, President Roosevelt... can only ask for more blessings.

At the same time, new changes have also taken place among European countries.

Permanently neutral Switzerland holds a referendum to join the League of Nations.

Under pressure, French and Belgian troops withdraw from German cities captured in World War I.Germany was not very happy, because in the border treaty signed shortly afterwards, North Schleswig was annexed to the Danish land.

A revolution took place in Turkey and the sultan was abolished. Turkey no longer needs a king if it wants to practice democracy.Greece plans to hold a referendum on whether to install another king.

In Italy, Mussolini's Combat Fascists changed their name to the National Fascist Party and secretly planned to organize the Blackshirts to attack Rome.

In Munich, Hitler delivered speech after speech and hired thugs to form the SA.Conflicts and riots can happen at any time.

The war is over on the surface, but in fact, the problems that should be solved have not been solved at all, and the contradictions always exist, just like an active volcano, destined to erupt again.
