The Soviets can be said to be a symbol of an era, and they are even representative of the October Revolution of the Soviet Union. In the later 1920s, some unseasonable Soviets were produced under the influence of the Soviet Union, such as the T-Communist, but generally speaking, after the 1940s, the Soviets became old antiques.

Let me put it this way, the Soviets are no longer visible in the national name of the socialist country established after World War II. Instead, people or democracy are replaced. Anyway, you basically know that this is a socialist system when you see these two words.

So why did Bohemia and Pomerania get the Soviet font? The reason is very simple. This was Li Xiaofeng intentionally. Let me put it this way, a certain immortal did have the idea of ​​directly annexing Silesia and Pomerania, but he could not do it so directly. Colonialism and imperialism were really unpopular after World War II. Even if the United States and British Emperors actually did the imperialist style, they did not admit that they were imperialist. There was no way for the world to put it there, and the public opinion of their imperialist attributes was not ashamed but proud. It was the biggest political incorrectness.

The Soviet Union also had to have this face. How did China attack the Soviet Union during the Sino-Soviet debate in later generations? Soviet revisionists, anti-imperialist and anti-revisionist, were side by side, so the Soviet Union and imperialism were tied together.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng was not shameless, but could not bear the Communist Party. The internal division of the communist camp, Tito, Dimitrov and later Taizu turned against the Soviet Union? After all, the Soviet Union was too strong and directly interfered in other people's internal affairs, which made them feel a strong sense of insecurity. Just imagine, Li Xiaofeng directly annexed Silesia and Pomerania regardless of the situation. This is not impossible, but that after doing so, there will be endless troubles. If he really does this, I am afraid that the entire communist camp will immediately be vigilant against the Soviet Union and always beware of the Soviet Union's dig for their corners. How can this unite the entire camp in the future?

So Li Xiaofeng spent his best efforts to spare a circle, making Silesia and Pomerania independent, so that he could not only control the territory but also look much better.

Moreover, retaining the name of a Soviet has also laid the foreshadowing for the future. After decades, when Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other countries in the world have adapted to the current state of Silesia and Pomerania and have forgotten this, it is not impossible for Bohemia and Pomerania to apply to the Soviet Union to join the alliance!

Let’s see how Americans operate. Hawaii has been eating step by step for more than fifty years. It’s okay to do the same in Silesia and Pomerania!

After the negotiations reached an agreement, Li Xiaofeng reported to the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau: "It seems that it is not mature to absorb Bohemia and Pomerania into the alliance for the time being, and the international influence, especially the influence of other brother parties, is probably not positive. Moreover, the control of Bohemia and Pomerania is only a simple and crude military control. In the next stage, we should guide this country to move closer to the alliance step by step."

Sverdlov asked with interest: "How to do it?"

"First, strengthen economic ties with Silesia and Pomerania, and form a regional free trade zone between the two countries. Second, open up visa management for Silesia and Pomerania, realize mutual visa exemption, encourage more Soviet citizens to travel to Silesia and Pomerania, do business and settle down, and third, strengthen military control and tie the two countries together."

This suggestion is a bit beyond the expectations of the Political Bureau. First of all, the Free Trade Zone made the Political Bureau members who are used to tax collection are a little worried. They believe that although the industry in the eastern part is much worse than that of Germany's developed western region, it is also compared with Germany's top level. In terms of the industrial level of Silesia and Pomerania, it still has certain technological advantages over the Soviet Union. Once the Soviet Union does not set defenses against them, will it impact its own industry?

This is one of the first things. The second visa-free option also makes the political and political bureau members who are used to controlling everything in their hands are not adapted. Once the Soviet people see the development of the West, will they have other bad thoughts? If the people are confused, the team will be difficult to lead. Moreover, tourism, doing business and settlement are a bit nonsense. With the current economic capabilities of the Soviet people, how many people can travel abroad? As for doing business? In the current highly concentrated planned economy, there is only a little bit of scraps belonging to the individual economy. Is it unrealistic to let Soviet citizens sell agricultural and sideline products and sell Nanza go abroad to do business? As for settlement, it is even more nonsense. Isn’t this encouraging Soviet citizens to escape from the Soviet Union!

Li Xiaofeng explained one by one: "In terms of heavy industry, Silesia and Pomerania have a very small impact on us. The heavy industry in this area is not developed, which may be that there is still a little competitiveness on shipbuilding. In this regard, with the development of my country's economy, the gap in civilian ship demand is quite large. Our current industry cannot meet it. It is appropriate to introduce some foreign resources. The real impact is light industry. In the past twenty years, my country has invested too little in light industry.

The lives of ordinary people have also been greatly disturbed, and we are temporarily unable to make up for this shortcoming. So it is normal for some brother countries to share the pressure for us. Judging from the plans for the next five years, our focus is on high-end industries, and our investment in light industry will not be large. We cannot let our ordinary people endure the lack of soap, laundry detergent, toothpaste, and textile life, right? So the division of labor and cooperation with the brother countries is very important. Everyone can get what they need, isn’t it great?”

Li Xiaofeng paused and continued: "Especially considering that the agriculture in Silesia and Pomerania is still very developed, reducing tariffs will help our people obtain cheaper agricultural and sideline products. This is a good thing for ordinary people to improve their quality of life, isn't it?"

Sverdlov and others thought about it, but this was not unacceptable. Now the Soviet Union does not have much energy but takes into account light industry. Although the new five-year plan has given a certain inclination to this, the shortcomings of the previous twenty years cannot be made up overnight. Now the material needs of the people are getting higher and higher day by day. We can't let them live like they did twenty years ago, right?

Li Xiaofeng continued: "In fact, what I want to mention here is that not only Bohemia and Pomerania, but also other class brothers in Central and Eastern Europe should be reasonably used. We must do a good job in division of labor and cooperation, so that those who are good at doing agriculture can do agriculture, and those who have the conditions can do industry. It is best to truly achieve no threshold-free mutual communication in the entire socialist camp."

The Sverdlovs thought this suggestion was good, although according to their understanding, it seemed to be a disguised way for a certain immortal to control Central and Eastern Europe, and the division of labor and cooperation they understood was based entirely on a highly centralized planned economy, and they felt that the reasonable division of labor was that the Soviet Union dominated everything.

But Li Xiaofeng did not mean that. According to the Soviet Union's highly concentrated planned economy, it can indeed achieve "interconnection or not", but that method is not good. All indicators are set by the Soviet Union. How to produce and what to produce and how much is produced is decided by the Soviet Union. No autonomy is given to other friends at all. Playing like this will kill everyone.

What Li Xiaofeng wants to do is to introduce a market mechanism, and everyone will trade and benefit each other under a fair set of rules. Although there are definitely different levels of this, for example, the Soviet Union must occupy the industry with the highest production value, seek benefits from the next level of friends through the scissors gap and accept cheap primary products. But this does not mean that the Soviet Union is just controlling everything alone. There is no need to be only one of the top existences of the pyramid. Look at the Western Europe, it is at the top of the food chain.

The ones are a country like the United States, Britain, and France, whereas the gangsters like Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and Belgium can also be eaten with meat. On the other hand, looking at the Soviet-East Group back then, the big brother, the Soviet Union was bitter, and the other one was also bitter. Some of the interests that should exist were inexplicably was wasted, and the other was enjoyed by a few privileged classes in these countries, which was very bad.

Li Xiaofeng believes that the best model is that the Soviet Union and two or three core brothers sit at the top, and can eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Next, the middle-level brothers at the second level can also have a well-off life, while the younger brothers on the edge can have food and clothing. Everyone has work and food, so they are naturally harmonious. Moreover, these three levels are not permanently fixed. The world is so big, and there are so many proletarian brothers in dire straits. There is always no shortage of coolies on the edge.

Of course, this is an ideal state, and there is still a long way to go to achieve this state, and the resistance is quite large. For example, the Soviet Union has adapted to a highly concentrated planned economy, and a reform is inevitable. However, Li Xiaofeng knew that he could not be anxious and had to take it step by step. First of all, the negative effect of the highly concentrated planned economic model has not yet erupted. Who would reform with you without a sense of crisis? Secondly, World War II has just ended, everything is in a mess. This guy from Central and Eastern Europe, even the Soviet Union, is facing a serious shortage of materials. At this time, the market economy cannot be done, and it is acceptable to temporarily hit the energy to solve prominent problems. In Li Xiaofeng's view, it is about 1950 to about 1955 at the latest. After this crisis is over, the market should be revitalized. According to this time point, he temporarily endured one or two and let Xiao Si complete this transition work.

However, Li Xiaofeng did not know that when he "calculated" Sverdlov, Comrade Xiaos was also "imagining" the future. He wrote in his diary that day: "Andre Petrovic once again miraculously completed the task. He successfully persuaded the German comrades to abandon Silesia and Pomerania and establish a new Soviet country... This is mixed news for me..."

Why did Xiao Si say that this news is mixed? Because the establishment of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Bohemia and Pomeranian means that the annexation of Poland that he advocated was no longer possible. Xiao Si had a little thought of Poland, which undoubtedly disappointed him. Similarly, after indirectly controlling Bohemia and Pomerania, the Soviet Union's influence on Western Europe did go further. The Soviet Red Army obtained all the privileges of garrisoning troops in Bohemia and Pomerania and conducting military operations, which could deter Britain and the United States, which were unstoppable to the Soviet Union. From an objective reality, this is another good news.

Of course, this is not what makes Xiao Si the most confused. What is Xiao Si’s trouble? What makes him most confused is that someone actually did it. Such a difficulty cannot make him difficult. Is there anything else that someone can’t do?

Yes, the reason why Sverdlov initially agreed to let Li Xiaofeng try was very simple. Although it was difficult to annex Poland and had a bad international influence, it was divided into several steps, and the Soviet Union was completely shameless and could do it. It was convinced that Germany could give up Silesia and Pomerania. During this period, the Soviet Union had to talk about international influence, and it had to make Germany, Poland, and Czechoslovakia conquered. This difficulty was simply difficult than the sky.

Anyway, Xiao Si was waiting to watch jokes at that time, but what he didn't expect was that there was no joke to watch at all. Everyone was memorizing lines step by step at the rhythm he needed, and it was simply playing Poland, Czechoslovakia and Germany in between applause.

Even at the last moment, a certain immortal did not make a mistake that Sverdlov thought he would make, and did not give Xiao Si any chance at all, which made Xiao Si indescribable frustration.

Some comrades may ask, what mistakes did Sverdlov think a certain immortal would make? Didn’t you see that there was such a pitfall in his previous operations?

In fact, there is really, that is, Li Xiaofeng did not directly annex Bohemia and Pomerania. This is really very important. Why is it important? Because at that time, a certain immortal could indeed swallow this piece directly, and there was no problem at all. Even the mainstream opinion in the political bureau was that after the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Bohemia and Pomerania, he immediately applied to join the Soviet Union and just follow the procedures.

But Sverdlov knew that there were big problems with this. First, Lenin and Trotsky were not necessarily happy to see it. Yes, the two mentors created the Soviet Union at the time, and with the Soviet Constitution, they also allowed other Soviet countries to join the alliance. Even from the revolutionary ideals of the two mentors, after they truly entered the communist society, the world was one, and other countries should join the Soviet Union.

However, objectively speaking, the two mentors knew that it would take time and material basis to achieve this. It would be impossible to do it with the current material basis of the Soviet Union. Therefore, the Soviet Union alliance can be expanded without limit in the future, but from the actual situation, the existence of this thing of the Soviet Union is actually a flexible measure for Lenin and Trotsky to maintain Tsarist Russian property as much as possible. Each franchise republic has independent sovereignty and respects its territorial integrity. However, it must also obey the entire alliance. This is to respect the right to national self-determination and safeguard national sovereignty.

Let me put it this way, the 1.0 version of the Soviet Union created by Lenin and Trotsky is actually a tool with a limited scope of application. This limited 1.0 version will exist for a long time. At least in the eyes of Lenin and Trotsky, it cannot be blindly used in those brotherly countries of the socialist class that have just won the liberation. After all, these countries and nations did not belong to the framework of Tsarist Russia before, and it would be counterproductive to force themselves to pull them in.

So at this moment, Lenin and Trotsky believed that the socialist brothers who had just been liberated should not be annexed in the name of the Soviet Union, even if they were like Li Xiaofeng, knocking on the candy like Li Xiaofeng. If Li Xiaofeng did this, Lenin and Trotsky's impression of him would be slashed. I am afraid that in the eyes of Lenin and Trotsky, this kind of approach is equivalent to bullying brotherly countries and is a great power chauvinism that will never be allowed.

This is still the first reason, and the second reason is international influence. What will other countries think? The Soviet Union is just trying hard to expand! Otherwise, how could it do everything possible to make Silesia and Pomerania independent and then annex it (look at Crimea in the future. From a legal perspective, this part was ruled by Khrushchev, the idiot, to Ukraine. It should be said that it does not belong to Ukraine. Russia takes it back to it. But in Ukraine, it makes sense that Russia can take it back.

At this time of internal strife in Crane, it incited Crimea's independence and swallowed it in less than two days. This was really too urgent. Look at Kosovo, after NATO spit it off, even if the locals in Kosovo immediately merged with Albania with 100% support, the NATO group did not act recklessly, but kept dragging it, just giving Kosovo military support. In fact, Russia can also learn to operate Crimea like this, but the bear is too anxious)!

It can be said that if Li Xiaofeng really did this, he would probably immediately fall into a situation of internal and external difficulties. The only one who was most happy about this was probably Sverdlov. However, what made Sverdlov regretful was that a certain immortal did not fall into this pit. He was very patient. He just stripped Silesia and Pomerania from Germany, and then actually controlled it, and there was no hurry to annex this step. This made it impossible for both at home and abroad to say bad things. Originally, Sverdlov was planning to make a fairy Yin unable to take Silesia and Pomerania to say that someone would only say he would not do it, and if he really annexed him, he would attack someone to invade. In short, the truth was his. And now, Sverdlov could only applaud Li Xiaofeng indifferently.

But this does not mean that Sverdlov gave up. In his opinion, the competition has just begun. Yes, your Li Xiaofeng scored on the German issue, which is true. But I also scored on the Yugoslavia issue. You made Silesia and Pomerania independent. Didn’t I also let Slovenia escape from Tito’s clutches? In this way, we will still tie this round!

Sverdlov not only believed that this round was a draw, but also believed that he had some advantage in the second round that started immediately. Where did this advantage come from? He believed that there was still chess in Yugoslavia. But Germany had no way to make a move for the time being. As long as he continued to play the Yugoslavia game, he could still get a higher score in the future! Isn't this surpassing someone.

Well, there is a problem here, that is, does Yugoslavia really have chess to play? It should be said that there are, because during this period of time, Tito and the Soviet Union were in a very stalemate due to the Slovenian issue, and the relationship between the two sides was almost at freezing point.

Some comrades may ask, could Sverdlov make Tito change his mind and surrender? At first, Sverdlov had this idea. In his opinion, Tito was just a pawn who was trained and educated in the Soviet Union in the 1920s. Without the support of the Soviet Union, he was not worth mentioning within the Southern Communist Party. Now, this pawn has achieved a little bit of results and has dared to squint his tail and bare the teeth with the Soviet Union. This is excessive expansion. He must teach him a lesson and make him sober. Then the pawn will obediently obediently.

It has to be said that Sverdlov did not understand Tito's personality. Yes, Tito was once a pawn from the Soviet Union, a key pawn to settle the Central Committee of the Southern Communist Party of China trained by the Soviet Union to settle the then Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. However, over the years, this pawn has gradually become full of wings, especially after World War II, which was reborn in the ashes. He accumulated unprecedented prestige in the Yugoslavia region and accumulated an army, which gave him the capital to get rid of Soviet control. What's more, Britain and the United States were still constantly trying to win over Yugoslavia, which made Tito's confidence even more. At this time, he really didn't need to follow the Moscow horse.

Sverdlov underestimated these factors, so his plan to kill Tito is very problematic. He did not expect Tito to resist so fiercely.

Let’s start from the beginning. After the Soviet Union supported Slovenia’s independence, Tito was naturally highly dissatisfied and immediately instructed the Yugoslav ambassador to the Soviet Union to protest head-on. Of course, neither Sverdlov nor the Soviet Union would have such protests. Who would make Tito sing opposites to the Soviet Union in the CIS, the World Union, and the issue of German reparations? If you don’t repair it, who would you repair it?

So the Soviet Union did whatever it should do. Not only did it recognize Slovenia at the first time, but it also immediately dispatched an ambassador. Even the Soviet Red Army stationed in Slovenia moved closer to Croatia and made a coercive gesture.

Of course, to be honest, this is just to scare Tito. Sverdlov did not intend to really go to war with Tito. Xiao Si must be concerned about international influence. However, Tito is not a mud. On the contrary, he is quite angry. When he sees the Soviet Union playing military threats, he is not willing to be outdone... (To be continued.)
