Rebirth of the Evil Life

The Polish-Russian War ended with Komorowski's suicide. Of course, although the war is over, how to prevent future wars has become the number one problem for the EU and even the world. After all, this time, in the Polish-Russian War, conservative estimates suggest that the number of casualties was as high as 1.5 million. This was the war with the largest number of casualties after the Korean War. And this war only lasted three days.

Three days of war caused such tragic casualties, which gave the world a more intuitive and correct understanding of modern warfare. Before this war, whether it was World War I, World War II, or the Korean War, there had never been any war that had so many casualties in such a short period of time like the Polish-Russian War. . This made everyone realize that World War III is a war of destruction and is no joke.

To some extent, this Polish-Russian war gave most people a clear understanding of modern warfare. Civilized society must resist war, especially large-scale war. Once it breaks out, it will be the end of the world!

"Boss, this is the amber mining right passed from Russia." Melissa handed over the amber mining right certificate for the Kaliningrad region that Putin specially ordered to express. Obtaining this certificate means that the amber mining rights in the Kaliningrad region belong to Lin Feng. No one can take this away.

"But boss, Kaliningrad has just been bombed and the roads are impassable. Even if the amber mine is mined, I'm afraid it won't be able to be transported out. Unless we build roads!" Melissa muttered. She felt that Russia was using Lin Feng to rebuild Kaliningrad.

Lin Feng smiled.

"This is just a trivial matter. Just fix it. But Kaliningrad is basically of no value to Russia. I don't think it's better to ask Putin to buy it over when!" Lin Feng thought.

Buy Kaliningrad? Melissa rolled her eyes. For Kaliningrad, Putin bulldozed Warsaw. Now you want to buy it? Will Putin sell it? How could he sell it. Isn't this a dream?

result. What made Melissa even more speechless was that Lin Feng called Putin directly and discussed the matter directly.

"President Putin. I have this amber mine, but the Kaliningrad region was bombed to pieces. You asked me to mine it, how are you going to transport it away? Otherwise, you should invest in infrastructure as soon as possible! There is no road. If I have this amber mine, it’s the same as not having it!" Lin Feng directly asked to build the road.

"Lin, I also want to repair it. But I have no money. Fighting is the most expensive thing, and this time, I gave up asking for compensation. Now I have spent a lot of money just on various pensions. You asked me to repair it. Roads, I don’t have money! Besides, it’s a waste of money for you to ask me to rebuild roads in that barren land!” Putin said helplessly.

After this war. The few citizens in Kaliningrad all chose to return to Russia. This is too thrilling to live outside the homeland, and I was directly hit by a bomb. This is so insecure. And their homes had long been bombed to pieces, so the people of the Kaliningrad region who were lucky enough to escape from the war were unwilling to come back.

Of course, occasionally there are some elderly people who are unwilling to abandon their homeland and still choose to rebuild their homes in Kaliningrad. But for these few people, Putin feels that it is not worthwhile to invest a lot of money to rebuild Kaliningrad, which has few resources and little strategic significance. certainly. This is mainly because Russia has no money. If you have money, you will naturally be willing to repair it.

But what about the current environment in Russia? Intentional or unintentional suppression by Western countries has made Putin unable to develop even if he wants to.

After all, the country is lacking in various infrastructure facilities. Let’s not talk about Kaliningrad, which is isolated from the mainland.

"But President Putin, if we don't build roads, it's useless for me to get the amber mine. You can't let me build roads. There's no problem with building roads, but how much does it cost to build roads? So much money has been spent , I can’t make it back either!” Lin Feng curled his lips.

"Then you can practice it. At worst, I will give you tax relief!" Putin chuckled, and then suddenly a light flashed in his mind, "I say Lin Feng, what do you mean by your words? If you have something to say, just say it, don't give it to me. Follow the detours of those profiteers!”

Lin Feng chuckled.

"President Putin, what I mean is that Kaliningrad is in desperate need of development. It's not impossible for you to ask me to invest, but I'm not a Russian. I can't give love for free. Even if I am a Russian, I have never seen anyone give their love for free. So, it’s not impossible for me to build roads, but I have to be able to make a profit!” Lin Feng said.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Putin vaguely guessed Lin Feng's intention.

"Alaska!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Alaska! Putin's nose twitched.

During the Ice Age about 15,000 years ago, most of the Earth's surface was covered with ice and snow. Large tracts of land that are now sunk at the bottom of the ocean were then standing above sea level, and one of them connected Alaska to Siberia. And for a long time, Alaska was uninhabited. Until June 1741, Danish explorer Vitus Bering led a group of Russian sailors to set out from Siberia eastward in search of the New World. On July 16, they discovered the Alaskan mainland for the first time, and the otters growing in Alaskan waters became the biggest discovery of this expedition.

Of course, even though Alaska is cold, it also has indigenous people. Eskimos, Aleuts, and Indians. However, the populations of these three races have always been extremely sparse. After all, the environment is too harsh. By now, the indigenous people of Alaska have long been extinct.

After that, Russian hunters established permanent settlements in Alaska and subsequently multiplied here. Alaska also became one of the territories of Tsarist Russia. It's just that this barren land really makes Tsarist Russia not very interested in it. Manage it, waste money, don't manage it. After all, this is the territory of Tsarist Russia. If you want to allow ships from other countries to come and go, that's not a problem. This is detrimental to the Russian system. Especially the British, who came from time to time and said they wanted to occupy this place, which gave Tsarist Russia even more headaches.

Therefore, Tsarist Russia made a decision that it thought was extremely smart, which was to sell this piece of frozen soil in exchange for some money. However, at that time, the Tsarist Russian government had a bad reputation in the world. It always invaded various countries and was a typical bandit. There were few profits from doing business with it. Especially in Alaska, where there is frozen soil, who wants it?

This left Tsarist Russia helpless. At exactly this time, the Civil War broke out in the United States. Lincoln wanted to unify the country, but he was slightly inferior in terms of military strength. The main reason was that countries around the world were looking at the United States. Once the United States faced division, countries around the world would not mind carving up the United States at this time. Therefore, Lincoln borrowed troops from Tsarist Russia. Although Tsarist Russia's national strength was not very strong at that time, and in terms of weapons and equipment, it was still lagging behind countries like Britain.

But the reputation of Tsarist Russia was there. After arriving, the great powers still hesitated. As a result, President Lincoln was given time to finally unify the United States. However, the Tsarist Russian fleet circled half the world and went to New York Harbor. Although it did not fire a single shot, it still faced huge war expenses. For the Tsarist Russian government, which was already in a poor economic situation, it was even worse. .

At this time, William Henry Seward, then the U.S. Secretary of State, was very generous and said: We have just finished fighting the war and are waiting for things to be done. But your country has traveled thousands of miles to help us. This kind of friendship is like... In this case, I can't let you come in vain, brother, don't you want to sell Alaska? Others don’t want our money. Brother, you are so good to us, I will definitely not treat you badly. Aren't they just second-hand goods? Don't mind us, don't sell it cheaply, we will pay as much as we can.

In the end, the United States spent $7.2 million to buy Alaska. In 1867, the Stars and Stripes were raised for the first time in the Alaska Territory. Compared with money, it seems that it is definitely not worth it now. But according to the prices at that time, this was a lot of money.

What were prices like at that time? 1 US dollar can buy 0.05 ounces of gold, which is 1,417 grams of gold. How much does gold cost per gram now? It was about 280 yuan. You can imagine what you could do with one dollar at that time. It can be said that this US$7.2 million is still a very high price for the Tsarist Russian government. A piece of frozen soil that no one wants can be sold for 7.2 million U.S. dollars. The Tsarist Russian government is naturally very happy.

But did Tsarist Russia take advantage? Later generations will know that the Tsarist Russian government did not take advantage. But even at that time, I didn't take advantage. Why?

At that time, the fleets sent by Tsarist Russia to support the United States were the Atlantic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet of Tsarist Russia. The total cost of the two fleets for 12 warships was more than 4.2 million rubles, and including the death of soldiers from sepsis during the journey, etc. For various expenses of 788, the Tsarist Russian government sent two fleets to support the United States this time. The total expenditure was more than 7.2 million rubles. At that time, the ruble and the U.S. dollar were basically equivalent in exchange.

In other words, after the U.S. government spent $7.2 million to hire the Tsarist Russian fleet to support itself and help the United States complete the reunification of the North and the South, it also made a fortune from the seemingly useless frozen Alaska!

It must be said that the US government was very cunning at that time. The Tsarist Russian government at that time was very stupid. The United States spent a high price to buy permafrost that you can't sell. Does the Russian government still have the nerve to reimburse military expenses? You didn’t fire a single shot, how dare you ask for military reimbursement? The Tsarist Russian government was naturally embarrassed to mention it. The result is naturally that the United States takes advantage!

Then, after oil and some minerals were discovered in Alaska, it goes without saying much about their value. Alaska has become a permanent pain for Russia.

Now, Lin Feng wants to buy Kaliningrad again. This makes Putin feel awkward!

Is this for sale?
