Member Yuefei thought Comrade Lenin was worried about China's strength and was considering how to talk about it. The report was sent. Comrade Lenin's eyes were on the documents, and soon, his usual confident and calm expression appeared again.

After glanced across the last line, Comrade Lenin handed the document to the Yuefei Committee Member. With curiosity, the Yuefei Committee Member read it very seriously. The document was very short. He Rui proposed that the Northeast government and the Soviet Union send trade delegations to each other, or to conduct trade exhibitions in a certain city, or to go directly to the city where the other party could provide goods.

He Rui also said that if there is an emergency in the short term, you can contact us directly via telegram.

Yuefei saw this and temporarily stopped reading. Looking back on the current situation of Russia's scarcity, Yuefei member did not know what Russia, which was in a scarcity, could trade with Northeast China.

After hesitating, Comrade Lenin said in that confident tone: "Comrade Yuefei, I hope this is the means of He Rui communicating with us."

Commissioner Yuefei didn't understand even more. However, there was still a paragraph that had not been finished, so Yuefei continued to read.

He Rui wrote in the second half of the letter, "According to the experience of the Northeast, the Northeast government has not made any profits in several years of foreign trade. However, the Northeast has fully participated in international trade. Through normal trade exchanges, it has greatly improved the productivity level of the Northeast, expanded production capacity, increased people's income, and improved people's living standards. China and Russia are both major countries, with their own different industrial and product advantages. Establishing huge trade can promote the rapid development of the two countries' economies."

Seeing this, Commissioner Yuefei was a little shocked. Judging from Comrade Lenin's reaction, he was already inclined to establish foreign trade relations. Will this lead to more problems in Russia? After all, Russia is in short supply at this stage and really can't come up with anything that can be traded.

However, Comrade Lenin seemed to have made up his mind and heard him ask: "Comrade Yue Fei, if you are asked to participate in the formulation of the trade list, what do you think needs to be imported in the near future?"

Commissioner Yuefei thought about it and suddenly had an idea, "Can you import vodka?"

Comrade Lenin was stunned for a moment, sighed, but said nothing.

Three days later, at the interim meeting of the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks, Comrade Lenin put forward a view of comprehensive trade with the Northeast government. The reactions of the members were beyond the expectations of the Yuefei members, and no one strongly opposed them, and most of the members were either hesitant or at a loss.

The person who broke the silence was Trotsky, "Comrade Lenin, what are we exporting to the Northeast?"

Member Yuefei listened carefully and wanted to know the problem that also troubled him. He heard Comrade Lenin answer: "If the comrades do not object to this decision, they can send a trade delegation to the Northeast to see what Russian products the Northeast government needs."

Without opposition or support, a Soviet-Russian trade delegation was formed and agreed to negotiate on the border with the Northeast government.

The negotiation process was very unfriendly. The leader of the delegation, Sevalev, was a worker and was responsible for logistics work. He was entrusted with important tasks by the party organization. Comrade Sevalev decided to come up with a list that must be worthy of the party organization.

The Northeast was very polite at first, but after talking about the specific content, the negotiation atmosphere quickly became tense. Finally, the other party left a sentence, "Let's exchange the negotiation records and end this round of negotiations."

Comrade Shivalev was angered by this. In particular, the other party's direct request for negotiation records made Comrade Shivalev feel that his efforts were subjected to great contempt.

Isn’t it just a complaint?! Who is afraid of whom?

After exchanging negotiation records, Comrade Shivalev ordered the trade delegation to return to Moscow to respond. The next day the train was about to receive a telegram from Moscow, asking Comrade Shivalev to bring the negotiation records signed by the other party to Novosibirsk area to wait for the comrades sent by the central government.

Comrade Shivalev was a little confused. Why did he need the negotiation record signed by the other party? Is this necessary?

However, the orders of the party organization must be obeyed. Comrade Shivalev had to get off the train because the train was not a special train, so he could not wait for Comrade Shivalev. He could only take two members of the league, ride a horse-drawn sled, and run for three days in the wind and snow before returning to the border.

Fan Shivalev believed that it would take a lot of procedures to get the other party's signature. Comrade Shivalev had made up his mind to get the meeting minutes with him even if he chased him to the end of the world.

A telegram was sent to the other side, and the other party responded immediately. The Chinese negotiators who came across the river handed over a document with a cold face. After Comrade Shivalev read it, they all signed the Chinese personnel on the negotiation records. Especially in some parts where there were differences between the two sides, the Chinese personnel also made notes. It was either a "language translation issue" or a "recorded the angry words", and they did very seriously.

At the end of the document, there was a signature from Chinese personnel.

Comrade Shivalev could understand that the Chinese staff were waiting and not leaving. This was a good mood. However, the notes made Shivalev very unhappy. The writing was so detailed that it must be to facilitate the complaint and accusing Shivalev of being wrong.

The Chinese personnel did not give Comrade Shivalev a good look. After completing the document signing, he turned around and left with the receipt he signed. There was no extra word.

Looking at the backs of Chinese personnel, Shevalev couldn't help but curse a few words.

Chinese personnel did not hear the curse because Han Haitao, director of the Price Bureau who was in charge of the matter, was also cursing in his heart.

As a former teahouse owner and director of the Price Bureau, the party organization felt that Comrade Han Haitao knew prices very well and had rich experience in treating people and receiving customers, so he was suitable for this negotiation. Han Haitao himself felt that the trust of the party organization was reasonable, so he reluctantly accepted the appointment.

Along the way, Director Han Haitao was so angry that he felt like a frog. When he returned to Harbin, he met He Rui who was inspecting Harbin. Even Director Han Haitao broke out directly.

The Russians are just as domineering, rude and barbaric as the legendary domineering, especially not understanding the rules. Director Han Haitao angrily criticized the Russians for their various things, and gave a direct evaluation, "Chairman, the Russians are unreliable!"

He Rui smiled and listened to Director Han’s accusation, and couldn’t help but be amused several times. Especially in the end about exchanging the ‘negotiation records’, He Rui was amused and laughed out loud.

Director Han felt that He Rui would be very angry after laughing, so he heard He Rui's comment: "Comrade He Haitao, if our own comrades have not received training, they may not be much better than the Russians. In the process of industrialization and modernization, we are all young students."

Han Haitao was stunned and didn't know how to return. He Rui's words were not meant to blame others, and there was no agreement. Just like Hu Rui's usual speech, he felt healthy and upward. For a moment, Han Haitao's anger couldn't help but dissipate a lot. But Director Han Haitao still said something, "Chairman, the Russian negotiator's leader heard us talk about the actual value of full employment, and said we threatened them. I care very much."

Seeing that He Rui was interested in this, Han Haitao continued to tell the whole story and opened the part of the meeting minutes, "...Chairman, when the Russian negotiator said that ordinary trade was not as important as we thought, we told them the impact of full employment on the national economy. The head of the Russian delegation immediately said that we were threatening them. I don't know what that person was thinking."

He Rui chuckled, not thinking that there was anything big. Since the head of the Russian Trade Delegation was very unfamiliar, He Rui didn't think he could get to the top leaders. In other words, this Communist Party member of the Communist Party of China (Bolsheviks) probably did not leave the scope of agricultural society.

In agricultural society, there is often a large number of small-scale farmers' producers, and there is no buyer's goods. This is the norm in a production environment where commodity information is very underdeveloped. In agricultural society, the way people deal with these goods is very interesting.

It is precisely because you don’t know the value of this part of the product that there are two extreme ways of handling it. Either you sell it at an extremely cheap price or you must sell it at a high price. Anyone who is serious tends to have high prices when facing products that have already paid their labor.

Since the other party is not a senior manager and is not a senior manager in the future, his understanding of the economy is likely to be like this.

The clearer the value of the product, the easier it is to reach a consensus. This is also the reason why Han Haitao, director of the Price Bureau, was chosen as the negotiator. If He Rui was asked to be responsible for this matter, even if He Rui was theoretically speaking, he really didn't know what price a product would sell in the market.

He Rui has never spent much money on himself in this era. In another time and space, due to online payment, he has not touched cash for a long time.

Several nearby large and small supermarkets with good supply channels and prices completely determine He Rui's perception of ordinary prices.

He Rui sighed: "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Han Haitao. I'll calm down. Next time Russia changes its negotiator, you, an experienced comrade, have to talk to them."

Han Haitao's anger was half because of the Russians' attitude, and half because he was worried that he would not be held accountable. Even He Rui was not investigated, so Han Haitao was relieved. Another question naturally emerged, "Chairman, will Russia really change people? Will it be replaced with worse people?"

"Comrade Han Haitao. The Russian nation was born very late. It was probably during the Kangxi period that the concept of Russian nation began to appear. It has only been 200 years since now. This is a young nation, and its external reaction is naturally similar to that of young people. There is a silly and stupid person who is not a big brother. With such national characteristics, what do you think they will choose when they want to accomplish something?"

After listening to He Rui's words, Han Haitao understood what would happen after a moment of thinking. The young men would not choose to bow their heads. If there was any force to suppress them and force them to submit. The young men would either be depressed, go through the motions of things, and fall completely in the heart. Or they would pretend to bow their heads and admit their mistakes and try their best to push the matter in the direction of solving them.

No matter which one it is, former teahouse owner Han Haitao feels that he can deal with it. After all, he used to be just a small teahouse owner. Now, Han Haitao, director and negotiator of the Price Bureau, represents a powerful organization of the Northeast government. There is no reason to be afraid of those turtles.

Comrade Shivalev did not know what Chinese negotiator Han Haitao thought of him. After obtaining the signed negotiation record, he braved the temperature of minus 67 degrees Celsius and drove on a horse-drawn sled. The cold wind during the day and the night that could freeze people to death could not stop Comrade Shivalev.

The news should be delivered to the organization as soon as possible and the bad intentions shown in the negotiations between Northeast China's government are told to the party organization. This is the obligation of the Communist Party of the United Nations (Bolsheviks) party members.

Comrade Shivalev was lucky. He had just rushed back to the town where he got off the train, and a train was passing by. Everyone squeezed onto the train and rushed to the small town of Siberia with the wounded.

The wounded were really miserable. Everyone not only endured the pain, but also had to face the pain caused by the infection. Many people's wounds became suppurated and had high fevers. Comrade Shivalev, who came from Moscow, immediately remembered the magical medicine that was circulating in Moscow, and asked the military doctors and nurses who were on board if they knew about the new drug "sulfonamide".

After hearing the question of Sevalev, the military doctor and the nurse tried to use the Russian tongue to pronounce the two syllables of "sulfonamide". But it was obvious that they had never even heard of it, and the sound they made was extremely strange.

Shivalev immediately sent a telegram to Moscow at the next station, requesting to mobilize sulfonamide to the station. Many Red Army officers and soldiers had already had a very urgent situation. If they persisted like this, they would probably die in the car halfway.

After the first telegram was sent out, it was almost sank to the sea. The second telegram was sent to Comrade Sevalev's direct leader, and finally there was a response. The leader said only two words in the telegram, "Sulphonamide is a drug imported from China. Since you are negotiating with China, you can make urgent requests to China as appropriate."

Shevalev read the call twice and was stunned. He always thought that the sulfa that saved a lot of patients in various hospitals in Moscow was developed by medical scientists in the Communist Party of China (Bolsheviks). He never expected it to be a product from Northeast China.

My superiors will not lie, especially in this matter. Therefore, the exact information has put Comrade Shivalev in a dilemma. It is almost impossible to go back and negotiate with China, and the Red Army officers and soldiers around him are also suffering from injuries and threats.

What should I do?

After being in a dilemma for a long time, Shivalev had to decide to go to Omsk where the organization wanted to go himself.

The train started again. This time, Sevalev said nothing, and the news that the comrades from Moscow said there were special medicines. The expectant military doctors and nurses all looked at Comrade Sevalev with anticipation.

‘Comrades from Moscow’, such an identity is enough to make Sevalev have a completely different identity in the eyes of ordinary Red Army. Not to mention, Comrade Sevalev was also a cadre. What he said must be true.

But no one asked Comrade Shivalev. Everyone knows that the current situation of the Russian Soviet regime is that if there is such a drug, it would not be too large to be taken to ordinary officers and soldiers at any time. Especially this drug is so effective.

Almost every day, the wounded are worsened due to suppuration infection, and every day, the dying wounded are carried out to get out of the car. That's right, Comrade Sevalev found that the military doctors and nurses still had hope. Even if the comrades who had already died could not be saved, more comrades are still struggling on the brink of death. As long as there is a magical medicine called "sulfonamide", they will still be saved.

The train finally arrived at Omsk, which is a large station in the rear and has the largest military hospital. As soon as the train stopped, a group of military doctors and nurses who were picking up the train came up. They simply checked the condition of the wounded. No matter how the fever started, no matter how it caused it, first give the wounded a slightly grayish-yellow pill. For those Red Army wounded soldiers who had already had a fever and were confused, pry open the tight teeth and put them in hard.

The military doctor and nurse who were on the train looked at such decisive medical treatment and immediately asked if the medicine was 'sulfonamide'. The military doctor who picked up the train was a little surprised, "How do you know?"

The military doctors, nurses, and the wounded who received the news immediately pointed at Comrade Shivalev, "It was this comrade from Moscow who told us."

The military doctor who picked up the car just looked at Comrade Shivalev, nodded to him, and did not say much. Instead, he continued to take medicine to the wounded who had fever and purulent wounds.

Shevalev felt that he had finally done something for the comrades on the front line, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. At this moment, someone outside the carriage shouted: "Is Comrade Shevalev here? Which one is Comrade Shevalev?"

Hearing this shout, Shevalev knew that he was looking for him, and then he remembered the failure of the negotiation. His responsibility was inevitable, and he should accept severe criticism from his superiors.

After looking at the wounded, Comrade Shivalev got off the train and walked towards the pickup staff who were looking for him, "I am Shivalev."

As expected, Shevalev was severely criticized. Faced with severe criticism, Shevalev frankly admitted, "I did not notice the imported drugs."

The superior was not Shivalev's direct superior. Facing Shivalev's answer, the cadre looked even more unhappy and slapped the table and said loudly: "This is not a drug. The party organization sent you there to ask you to negotiate with the Northeast. You have not completed the task!"

Shevalev was not prepared to be obedient. He had his own opinion. "The list proposed by the leader, the Chinese side is the materials we also need at this stage, wood and ore. Shouldn't these be used in the production of our own factories? We have no extras, so why should we export them to China?"

This answer is not only the truth of Sevalev, but also he has discussed with the comrades in the negotiating group that no one can refute this. Because this is the fact.

The only person who disagrees with this matter was a negotiator named Han Haitao of the Northeast Government. Until now, Shivalev can still remember the helpless sarcastic look on the guy's face. At least Comrade Shivalev thought it was a sarcastic look.

Because Han Haitao said something Shevalev could never accept, "Comrade Shevalev, in this transaction, the price we give is higher than your own sales. This is good for the economic activity of the Soviet Union."

Comrade Shivalev never agrees with this view. If the Soviets had endless wood and ore, Shivalev was certainly willing to trade with the Northeast government. However, now there is no. Shivalev will never accept letting the Soviet people starve and freeze, but provides products to other countries.

So, facing the reprimand of the leader, Sevalev told the leader this conversation.
Chapter completed!
