American TV series

Chapter 555 For the Country and the People

Sean has never thought about or heard of the fact that Lithuania still sells a large amount of arms, and this thing will not be publicized on a large scale.

I still know Ukraine because of Jackie Chan’s "A Simple Story".

Vytautas Landsbergis said with a somewhat sad expression: "The Soviet system is not without merit. At least its heavy industry is very developed. In order to cope with malicious intentions from all sides, its arms are the best in the world."

"Then why are there a large number of arsenals here?" Sean didn't understand.

"Who do you think is the biggest enemy of the Soviet Union?" Vytautas Landsbergis suddenly changed the subject.

"America!" Sean said firmly.

"That's true from a global perspective." Vytautas Landsbergis nodded and continued to ask: "Then, if another world war breaks out, which opponent do you think the Soviet Union should face first?"

Sean frowned slightly and looked up at the world map hanging on the wall.

Why is the Soviet Union, or Russia, always being targeted? For hundreds of years, it has either been at war or on the road to war. The reputation of a fighting nation has spread far and wide around the world.

This has to be said from a geographical perspective.

One of the theories is that the earth is round. If we spread out the map with the North Pole as the center, we can find that whether it is Europe, Asia, or the Americas, they are all within the threat range of Russia.

Another way of saying it is the climate. Most Russians are concentrated in Northern Europe. They have been longing for warm winters and vast land all their lives. Therefore, every time the Russian population grows to a certain extent, it will launch a war with other countries, and the best target is

Continental Europe.

It's like the threat of grassland to the Central Plains.

It is impossible for the Central Plains to occupy the grasslands, but once they have recovered and recuperated, the grasslands will invade the Central Plains and have never stopped for thousands of years.

China has completed the unification of the Central Plains and grasslands, but Europe has not. As for the Wooly Bears who have been threatening the mainland for hundreds of thousands of years, no one in Europe likes them.

"It must be in the European direction, Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania!" Sean named a few names.

"Yes, Lithuania is right next to Poland." Vytautas Landsbergis smiled and spread his hands, "During the Soviet period, we would be faced with the task of attacking Poland or resisting attacks from Poland, and the priority was

The first one."

"Moreover, we are still one of the three Baltic countries and have the task of attacking Finland, Sweden, and Norway, or resisting attacks from the sea."

"So, isn't it a matter of course that Lithuania has the strategic arsenal left by the Soviet Union?"

"Okay." Sean nodded. This was an information error. "So, Ukraine does not store that many arms?"

"No, you guessed wrong again." Vytautas Landsbergis laughed again, "The number of arms stored in Ukraine is greater than the total number of the three Baltic countries plus Russia's Kaliningrad and Belarus.

"

"Why?" Sean looked up at the world map. Adjacent to Ukraine are Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Slovakia. There are almost no threats on land. The real focus should be on the Black Sea and Turkey.

Although the Russians and the Turks are feuding, the Black Sea Fleet is enough. How could there be such a huge amount of arms?

Vytautas Landsbergis explained: "What you just said is right. From a world perspective, the Soviet Union's biggest enemy is the United States. Once three wars occur, the first place to start the war must be Poland."

Sean couldn't hold it back and almost burst out laughing. No matter what happened, as long as there was a war, he would fight Poland first!

What does this mean?

It shows that Poland is in everyone’s heart!

Thinking of you all the time!

Vytautas Landsbergis didn't know what Sean was laughing at, and continued: "But when will the third war start? It seems far away now. The world situation has not deteriorated to this extent. In fact,

It is not the United States or Poland that has been threatening the Soviet Union, but Yugoslavia!"

Sean blinked, as if he understood a lot at once, "What are the different threat targets caused by different systems?"

Vytautas Landsbergis nodded, "Yes, the Soviet Union is socialist and centralized. The entire system has only one voice. It emphasizes 'unity' and 'collective', never talks about individuals, and emphasizes the sacrifice of individuals for the collective."

Although there are internal factions within the spirit, the overall goal is the same."

"Capitalism emphasizes 'freedom,' individuality, and 'checks and balances.' There will be different factions and several voices in the country. Although capitalist countries will also make moves to interfere with other countries, the starting point of this move is interests.

"

"The Soviet Union is different. As the birthplace of the red spirit, the Soviet Union wants to control other countries by propagating its own ideas, and then annexes, absorbs, and manages all red regimes."

"So, the direct threat to the Soviet Union was Yugoslavia and the north?" Sean's thoughts suddenly opened up. It was not only a threat, but also a fundamental threat, a threat to who was the master and who was the servant.

Some dusty memories in my mind were re-opened. I remembered correctly that in the late 1950s, the North and the Soviet Union almost went to war, and the relationship fell to a freezing point.

Because the North wants to build nuclear bombs, and they are not just talking about it, but actually doing it. This is absolutely not allowed by the Soviet Union.

Once this is done, can the younger brother still listen to the big brother in everything?

Is there still hope for the north to join the big family of the Soviet Union?

Communist, international!

From the beginning, the Soviet Union's goal was global.

The same is true for Yugoslavia. Tito led the Communist Party of Yugoslavia to defeat the Communist Party and announced the establishment of the Federal People's State of Yugoslavia on November 29, 1945, instead of joining the Soviet Union. This made the Soviet Union very dissatisfied.

Tito came into contact with the Bolsheviks during the February Revolution. After the October Revolution, he joined the Soviet Red Army and fought for the establishment of the Soviet Union for six years.

After returning from the Soviet Union, he directly joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, and he was also the general secretary of the people of Moscow. Because he was close to the Soviet Union, he had always been supported and controlled by the Soviet Union.

Because of this, the Soviet people thought that Tito would definitely respond to the call of the Communist Party and the International and join the big family of the Soviet Union, but they never expected to cultivate a rebel.

This was the first country in Europe that did not join the Soviet Union after it was overthrown by the Reds, which was a big bad start.

Well, 4 years later, the north followed suit...

Does communism and the International need so many voices?

of course not!

With centralized power, there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country.

What is even more hateful is that when the Cold War broke out after the war, Yugoslavia actually maintained a neutral attitude and did not clearly side with the Soviets.

The sin is unforgivable!

Heretics are more hateful than heretics.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

Fortresses are often breached from within.

Too many theories have stated that internal enemies should be eliminated first.

It is not difficult to understand why Ukraine has such a huge strategic weapons reserve.

"Okay, that has nothing to do with us. I'm curious why the Soviet Union didn't take away the arsenal after it withdrew." Sean said this, and he had already made up his mind to go to Ukraine for a while. I heard that there is a

Things can grow mushrooms.

Nothing else, just pure curiosity.

"Hahaha, this is impossible!" Vytautas Landsbergis laughed and said: "It's too big. Did you know that the Soviet Union's major arsenals produce countless arms every year? It is not a market system.

Yes, there is no market regulation. It is state-owned. The state allocates funds for procurement. It does not stop at any time. What should workers do if production is stopped? You can't just take money and not work. How will the steel be consumed? It's huge.

The industrial chain cannot be stopped.”

"So a lot of arms are shipped every year, and then arsenals are built and stacked. Now even I don't know how many arms there are in Lithuania's arsenal. If I want to take them away, it will take several months of cargo throughout Lithuania. How can I take them away!"

"Okay." Sean rolled his eyes. As a former socialist successor, he could somewhat imagine this.

Isn’t it true that people in the north have been selling and giving away goods for decades?

It is said that the Type 67 grenade will not be used up until three battles are fought, but it may not be used up after three battles.

The last time he supported the secession of Guajira Province in Colombia, Sean even shipped a boatload of them, and now they are all piled up in the arsenal of Guajira.

"Since Lithuania has it, let's take it from you. We are friends, and of course I still support you." Sean smiled and stretched out his hand, "You can't cheat me."

Vytautas Landsbergis held Sean's hand and said generously: "How come, we are friends, you have to believe me, don't tell me how many guns or bullets you need, like this,

We calculate by ton, you bring 500,000 tons of goods, although they are all worthless daily necessities, but in order to prevent you from wasting transportation capacity, you can take away 500,000 tons of arms from our arsenal!"

"You're thinking shit!" Sean pulled him away. He was so angry that he pointed at Vytautas Landsbergis's nose and said, "Is this the fucking friend you were talking about?

I thank you, do you think I don’t understand anything?”

"Uh...what's the problem, my friend, don't be angry, we can communicate slowly if there is anything." Vytautas Landsbergis looked at Sean with an innocent face, without any flaws.

Politicians are equal to actors, and actors are equal to politicians.

Among actors, comedians are the most advanced, right, Zelensky!

"My goods are all shipped from the north. You politicians are really shameless!"

After being pointed out by Sean, Vytautas Landsbergis didn't feel embarrassed at all. His smile remained so graceful and he just lightly shrugged his shoulders, "I am the Chairman of the Supreme Council of Lithuania. I want to serve

For the benefit of the Lithuanian people.”

High-sounding!

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. These goods are the most in-demand consumables, 500,000 tons. I want you 2 million tons of arms." Sean began to bargain.

"This is impossible!" Vytautas Landsbergis jumped up instantly and looked at Sean angrily, "Even if I sell it as scrap metal, it won't be so cheap!"

"A ton of steel cannot buy a ton of cotton."

"It's not like you are made of cotton."

"This is ready-made clothing, much more expensive than cotton!"

"Then it's impossible to exchange one for four!"

"Oh, I would definitely get more money if I sent it to Ukraine, if it weren't for being friends with Lithuania."

"Ukraine is not easy to travel to. Turkey will not just let so many arms transit through it!"

"I am an American. If Turkey dares to control me, my fleet can block Turkey's seaport at any time!"

Vytautas Landsbergis: "..."

There is so much truth here that I am speechless.

"It's not all cotton here, is it?"

"Haha, how about toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, all kinds of clothes, shoes, all of them are more valuable than cotton!"

"Okay, okay." Vytautas Landsbergis sighed. If you can't make a lot of money, you will lose money.

After talking about the serious business and chatting a little more about Lithuania's economic situation, people's livelihood and other unimportant things, Vytautas Landsbergis stood up and left.

He has something else to do tonight.

A small gathering, or briefing.

"It's done, these 500,000 tons of daily necessities will stay in Lithuania." Vytautas Landsbergis walked into the banquet hall and said loudly immediately.

The small banquet hall was quiet for a moment, and then cheers erupted.

Open the champagne to celebrate, and the atmosphere immediately heats up.

The people here are either from Vytautas Landsbergis, from the Ministry of Commerce, or from the military. They are all people who have something to do with this exchange.

As for why everyone gathered here to wait for news about Vytautas Landsbergis, it was naturally because the goods Sean brought and the subsequent goods were not given to the Lithuanian country.

The country is a political system, and essentially there is no profit. However, these daily necessities are valuable and cannot be distributed for free, right?

This deal belongs to the politicians present, and is run by the businessmen behind the politicians.

This is 500,000 tons. If thrown into the Nordic market, it would be worth at least US$1 billion!

And it’s all pure profit!

One billion US dollars can make all saints fall, not to mention they are not saints yet!

As for why there is such a huge profit, it is because there is no cost!

Where is the cost!

Exchange of arms?

Aren't those garbage being processed and destroyed?

I really thought it didn’t cost money to preserve arms!

Not only is it necessary, but it is also very expensive. Lithuania cannot afford it and of course it will be destroyed.

And the state needs to allocate funds for destruction!

As for whether these arms were really destroyed or went somewhere else, it is none of the country's business. Anyway, the country will not approve another dime.

And the goods they exchanged for these rubbish are naturally theirs. They have not robbed the country of any wool, and have not done anything wrong to the Lithuanian people. They deserve what they earn, and this batch of materials will greatly ease domestic demand and suppress inflation.

What's this?

This is a credit!

For the country and the people!

So great!

Theoretically, this is the case. This is using information and channels to make money, and it cannot be labeled as selling G's assets.

After I was moved for a while, I decided to divide the spoils. It was judged based on each person's position and whether their position in the matter was important. This was all determined in advance.

The rest was naturally a celebration banquet. After saying hello, the door was pushed open, and a group of beauties filed in... They were all high-end goods cultivated by a professional team, exclusively for the enjoyment of big shots, safe and confidential, and there would be no problems.

Russian carousel, secret tunnel adventure, sexual intercourse, fellow travelers... There is no other meaning than to deepen everyone's relationship.

Communicate, communicate...
