Chapter 471 The Wheel of History Rolls Forward!
December 24, 1979.
Today is Christmas Eve.
At this time in the West, even in Hong Kong, tonight will be very lively.
Moscow.
Ukrainian Hotel.
Yang Ming just got up.
Accompanied by Mr. Andre, Yang Ming had breakfast at the Ukrainian Hotel.
Today.
Yang Ming knew that something big would happen in Sulian.
When Yang Ming was at the Ukrainian Hotel, he asked a female translator accompanying him to translate newspapers for him. From the newspapers, he learned that the Sulian army had entered Afkhan.
Seeing this news, Andre did not seem embarrassed.
It seemed natural to him.
Yang Ming sighed.
It seems that the wheel of history is still rolling forward, and no one can stop it.
In other words, the huge red empire of Sulian will still collapse in twelve years. In this case, Yang Ming's layout in Sulian will become more important.
Andre was afraid that Sir Yang would feel disgusted because all the West opposed Sulian entering Afkhan.
Andrei talked about why they wanted to march into Afkhan?
In fact, there are many issues involved.
As an upper-class person, Andrei himself may know more than ordinary people, but that's it, because of the limitations of the times.
Yang Ming comes from another world.
He knows very well that before that, 1979 was the peak of the Soviet Union. However, the Soviet Union's march into Afkhan was a turning point in the peak period, which was very obvious.
The development of the Soviet Union in its peak period in the 1970s benefited more from the surge in world oil prices at that time, which made the Soviet Union, a major oil-producing country, earn a lot of money.
The false prosperity brought about by the surge in oil prices temporarily concealed the various contradictions in the political and economic development of the Soviet Union and social life.
The decision-makers of the Soviet Union at that time mistakenly believed that reform was not an urgent matter.
In fact, the objective contradictions in the development process of the Soviet Union have not been resolved, but have been temporarily covered up by the false prosperity brought about by the surge in oil prices.
The blindly confident and optimistic decision-makers of the Soviet Union turned a blind eye to these hidden contradictions. The Soviet Union, which turned a blind eye to the deep-seated problems in the country, launched a war against Afkhan in 1979.
After the setback in the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union's Cold War rival, the United States, carried out a comprehensive strategic contraction, but this did not mean that the United States gave up competing with the Soviet Union for global hegemony.
On the contrary, the United States was keenly aware that the Soviet Union's global attack on hegemony was actually a model of overdrawing resources in the later stage, that is, the Soviet Union's overall comprehensive national strength was not enough to support such a large stall.
However, the Soviet Union forcibly supported such a large stall through the false prosperity brought about by the soaring oil prices and the unlimited overdrawing of various political, economic and military resources for later development.
This doomed the Soviet Union's later development to be weak.
The United States launched the Star Wars plan at the right time, relying on its stronger economic strength to completely drag down the Soviet Union's economy through the competition of space weapons.
At the same time, the United States and its allies also intervened in the Afkhan War. Western countries led by the United States provided weapons, funds, supplies and other support to the Afkhan guerrillas on the one hand, and on the other hand, they hit the Soviet Union, a major oil-producing country, by lowering international oil prices.
The heavy casualties and huge costs of the Soviet Union in the Afkhan War became one of the reasons for accelerating the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
But now Andrei doesn't know, and the waitresses here at the Uklan Hotel don't know.
In the eyes of the Sulians.
Afkhan is a small country and will soon be conquered by Sulian.
In fact, it lasted for nearly ten years.
Yang Ming will not publish these, he is not interested in these, but knows that the world has not changed because of his appearance, the times and the wheel of history are still the same.
In other words, Yang Ming hopes to absorb as much nutrition as possible from the body of this huge red empire according to his plan to strengthen himself.
After breakfast at the Uklan Hotel.
"Sir Yang, I wonder where you want to go today?"
It must be said that Andrei is still very active. In order to make Sir Yang interested in Sulian, Ilich and his son have accompanied Yang Ming everywhere for more than half a month.
"Mr. Andrei, I heard that the Moscow subway is famous in the world, and I want to experience it myself."
Moscow subway?
Speaking of the Moscow subway, Andrei also feels a little proud. Although Andrei knows that Hong Kong also built a subway very early under the colonization of Country Y.
As for Hong Kong now, the subway in Hong Kong is considered to be very developed compared to other major cities in the world.
However, compared with the Moscow subway, it is still far behind.
The Moscow subway is recognized as the most beautiful subway in the world.
The architectural shapes of the subway stations are different, gorgeous and elegant.
Each station is designed by a famous domestic architect, each with its own unique style and architectural pattern. It is mostly inlaid with colorful marble, granite, ceramics and colorful glass to create various reliefs, carvings and murals. The lighting fixtures are very unique, like a magnificent palace, and it enjoys the reputation of "underground art palace".
In addition, this subway is very deep, dozens of meters underground. In fact, when it was built, it was built according to wartime reserve, which can accommodate 4 million people at a time, which means that most of the citizens of Moscow can enter it without any problem.
When Andre heard that Sir Yang was going to see the Moscow subway, he immediately arranged it.
In addition to Yang Ming, Azhu, Zhong Chuhong, Huo Jianning, Lin Xiuzhi, Chen Zhenhua, Zhang Guohua and others took the car to the parking space of the nearby subway station, and Andre and others got off the car with Yang Ming and others.
Yang Ming noticed that those fashionable men and women were rushing in and out of the subway entrance.
Outside the subway entrance, newspapers and magazines can be seen everywhere.
There are even some related posters, including posters about the Soviet army entering Afkhan.
Looking at the appearance of these people, Yang Ming was surprised again.
At this time, everyone in the Soviet Union, from Ilyich to ordinary people below, thought that defeating Afkhan was a very easy thing.
Yang Ming and others and Andre bought subway tickets and went in.
Not only Yang Ming was surprised, but Huo Jianning, Azhu, Zhong Chuhong, Lin Xiuzhi and others were really surprised.
This is actually the Moscow subway!
Why is it more like a prosperous underground city?
Not only is it very warm inside, but you can see all kinds of beautiful reliefs and lighting everywhere, it's really like an underground art hall.
Huo Jianning was also stunned.
In the past half month, he has seen the peak of Su Lian in all walks of life, which is really not inferior to what he saw when he was studying in the United States.
Seeing the stunned look of Huo Jianning and others, Andre became more and more happy.
"How is it? Is it better than the subway in Hong Kong?"
Yang Ming has never taken the subway in Hong Kong since he came to this world. He took it many times in his previous life. In his previous life, the subway in Hong Kong looked very shabby.
Huo Jianning usually takes the subway in Hong Kong in addition to driving himself, so he was naturally surprised.
"Boss, I really can't believe that this is the Moscow subway. I feel like I have seen an art gallery."
