Chapter 155, Going to the Wasteland
Soviet Union, Moscow, Kremlin, General Secretary Stalin's office

Moscow in March is still very cold. Although the winter snow has begun to melt a little, the green vegetation has not yet sprouted. The lingering power of the snowstorm from the Arctic Ocean makes the sweet breath of the spring goddess far from reaching this area that is always loved. A frigid land ruled by General Winter.

Of course, the Russians who have lived here for generations have long been accustomed to such a severe cold climate.Due to their inherent cold resistance, many Russians have already taken off their thick fur coats at this time and put on thin suits, work clothes and casual clothes.Beauty-loving Soviet girls even changed their bloated winter clothes early, put on stockings, dresses or plaid skirts, and showed off their slender legs on the streets.

However, sitting in the office of General Secretary Stalin, with warm and comfortable humidification heating blowing in front of his face, the current Comrade Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, Comrade Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, is still in his heart at this moment. I couldn't help but feel a little cold, even a little shivering.

As the head of the Soviet Union's diplomacy, Molotov has been thinking about how to end this war since the nuclear explosion in the United States and the defeat has been decided. From ancient times to the present, any war must have an end Either sign an armistice treaty, or directly destroy the country and occupy the land, or lose a firm foothold after sending troops to invade the enemy's country, and have to pack up and go home in despair... After all, it is impossible to fight endlessly: Modern Warfare The horrific consumption of the country has led to the fact that no matter how militaristic a country is, it will not be able to support war with war, and it will not be able to stay in a state of war for a long time.

Although the United States of America is endowed with unique land and rich resources, it is too far away from the Soviet Union after all, and the population on that land is too large. Even if the United States is forcibly annexed, it will not be able to digest it in the future, let alone control it.So enough is enough, let it go when you see it

According to Molotov's idea, after winning this world war, the Soviet Union only needs to take back the Alaska that the Tsarist Russian government sold to the United States at a low price (it was said to be sold for 720 million US dollars, but it was actually given away for nothing, because During the Civil War, Russia sent a fleet to the United States to assist in countering the rebellion. It spent 720 million yuan on military expenses, and it has not been reimbursed afterwards... However, the Tsarist Russian government is not stupid and generous enough to give away the country for nothing. It is really because of Russia After the disastrous defeat in the Crimean War, the national power declined, the finances collapsed, internal instability, international hostility and isolation, the overall situation was even worse than during the Russo-Japanese War, and the Alaska colony in North America could not be kept at all. It can only take the initiative to take the initiative to avoid disasters, which is the same as the British had to give up the colonies after World War II.), and then cut off a large body from western Canada is to seize the entire west coast of Canada and let the Soviet Union in The new territory in North America has an ice-free port (Vancouver) to keep traffic, and that's about it.

In addition, the Hawaiian Islands, a transportation hub located in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean, should be allowed to establish an independent country or assigned to "Red Japan", but the remaining 48 states in the United States should not continue to be meddled and carve up, so as not to die in one breath. Eating too much, stretching my stomach...

However, although there is no need to continue to cede the land of the 48 states in the core of the United States, apart from this poor "goodwill", other large indemnities, garrison supervision, establishment of concessions, surrender of weapons and warships, disbandment of the federal army and The National Guard... and other extremely harsh punishment clauses, but even one of them is indispensable.In the past few months, Molotov has already made a set of "Ten Socialist Tortures" tailored for the post-war United States with reference to the terms of the "Treaty of Versailles" that ended World War I. , can definitely drain the last drop of oil from these arrogant Yankees, and by the way, the United States has become highly disabled from society to economy, and can't take care of itself. Don't think about slowing down in decades.

Therefore, in Molotov's view, as long as the United States accepts the above-mentioned "goodwill", obediently surrenders unconditionally, disarms its military, and introduces a large number of war criminals to be hanged on the gallows to show the world (otherwise too many ruthless The Soviet Union, as it is said, has no way to treat it internally and externally), then, it is possible to promise to preserve the territorial integrity of the United States, and even promise not to carry out socialist transformation to the United States... This is not impossible to discuss.

——If you want to continuously milk cows from the post-war America, you will naturally not be able to feed the cows themselves to death.

Of course, the United States is still very "arrogant" today. Although it has suffered so many nuclear bombs, it is still unwilling to surrender unconditionally.However, Molotov is very confident that as long as he continues to maintain a certain degree of military pressure, and then properly instigate internal rebellion against the US ruling class, he will be able to see the country surrender on its knees in a very short period of time—anyway. , the current situation is very clear, the United States is destined to be defeated soon, and there is no potential foreign aid to be found except for the aliens who do not know where they are.As long as there is a way to survive, even if it is a way of extreme humiliation and suffering, even if it is a way of survival that may not be possible, the American ruling class that has fallen into a desperate situation will cling to it like a life-saving straw.

There are warriors who would rather die than submit in this world, but there are very few politicians and capitalists who would rather die than submit. If there are, then it means that they are not qualified.

At the same time, however, the current master of the Kremlin, the iron father of the nations of the USSR, the liberator of Constantinople, the great liberator of the entire European continent, the supreme teacher of the proletariat of the world, contemporary Marxist-Leninist thought Comrade Joseph Stalin, the orthodox successor of the Communist Party of China and the master of the glory of the Red Communist Party, although he agrees with some of the views of the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs of Molotov, that is, the Soviet Union should not take advantage of the victory to over-expand its territory, and should not ignore the barriers of natural geographical conditions and the need for national integration. Difficulty, want to seek the states and counties of the continental United States, so as not to cause indigestion problems.

However, General Secretary Stalin had his own ideas on how to deal with the post-war America... What he wanted was not a America that paid tribute every year but still had power, held grudges, and always wanted revenge. Want an America that has been completely destroyed, leaving only historical records!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"...I insist that the United States of America must be completely destroyed and become a relic of history, just like the ancient Roman Empire once was..."

Sitting at the desk opposite Commissar Molotov, General Secretary Stalin was smoking his beloved pipe, slowly puffing out smoke rings, and in a tone comparable to a cold current, he issued the final verdict on the death penalty for the United States of America: "..."The Treaty of Versailles" only brought a 20-year armistice to Europe, and made Germany once again the source of the world war. France even paid the price of its demise. Therefore, today we must not make the same mistakes that the Allied Powers made in the past The mistake made at the Paris Peace Conference, for the sake of short-term interests, let go of the poisonous snake that may bite him in the future-in fact, after the First World War, the French did not seem to have received much compensation from Germany in the end. Most of them are reprimanded, aren't they?"

"...Even if the price of doing this is that we, as the victors of the war, gain nothing?" Molotov boldly asked, "... Comrade General Secretary, judging from the current situation, if we If you want to obtain a steady stream of benefits from the United States, and at the same time try to suppress the status of the United States, the best and most convenient way is not to turn the United States into a socialist country like us, but to continue to retain the backward system of the United States. In the future , this will be a special status of pariah, which will allow Americans to be despised everywhere on the earth where red flags are planted everywhere in the future, and they will also suffer from inferior status and worse living conditions, and will not get sympathy from public opinion. Slowly prompting American civilians themselves to stand up and overthrow the old system.

On the contrary, if we insist on carrying out socialist transformation of the entire United States during this war, then on the one hand, it will arouse the desperate resistance of the American ruling class, and they would rather watch us destroy everything in them with nuclear bombs than give in ——They can also pack up their property and flee to South Africa for refuge; The hatred that came is really difficult to resolve... All in all, the price of this approach is too high, and the gain outweighs the loss..."

"...However, I originally planned to let the American ruling class give up on themselves in despair and cooperate with us to destroy everything in the United States! In fact, I never planned to send the Red Army to the United States in order to let the American people enter socialism Extended families shed blood in the thousands.

Let me tell you the truth, the so-called all-round socialist transformation of the United States is actually, from a certain point of view, just a cover to block the road to peace talks and silence the entire socialist camp.I just want to see the complete destruction of the United States of America and hear the sound of capitalism's funeral song... At this point, I have communicated with other committee members and persuaded them to agree with me. "

Stalin opened his mouth and blew out a smoke ring, and said frankly, "...America is either completely destroyed or completely dyed red. There is no third choice!"

"...Comrade Stalin, do you still think that it is possible for the United States to become the leader of the capitalist camp again in the future, and once again have the strength to challenge the entire socialist camp? This is impossible! Whether it is soft power or hard power, the current America is completely bankrupt!"

Molotov shook his head and said, "...Even if the capitalist system in the United States is preserved, they will at best linger on for a while."

"...I also know that the possibility is unlikely, but there is still such a small flaw. If I don't make it up, I won't be able to feel at ease for a day."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Seeing that Stalin was so obsessed with destroying the United States, Molotov stopped persuading him, but there was still some hesitation and confusion on his face.

General Secretary Stalin was well aware of this, so after thinking for a moment, he continued to say to Molotov lightly: "...Comrade Molotov, you should still remember the first time that incredible Miss Sophie When you show up in the Kremlin and tell us some terrible news."

"...Yes, I still remember." People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov somehow remembered something, and nodded with a rather complicated expression.

"...I don't know what you guys think, anyway, from then on, I found that I seemed to be a drowning person trying to grab the straw... You know, from a rational point of view It is said that the birth of our country is equivalent to the largest social science experiment in the history of human civilization. Since it is an experiment, we have to take a path that others have not taken, and we will take more risks than other countries.

At the beginning, we had reached a consensus that we were going to use a long period of peace and construction to meet the material needs of the people as soon as possible, or to take a more efficient capitalist road first to achieve the conditions of material abundance as much as possible. , and then entered the stage of socialism.This is based on the greatest advantage of our party-state and highly centralized political system, which can fully eliminate waste and internal friction in various disorderly free competitions.

But the problem is that the crazy hostility from the capitalist camp all over the world has forced our country to face unprecedented threats since its establishment, forcing us to change our original plan. The new Soviets must be strong enough in the shortest possible time. to face the oppression of the old capitalist countries.Moreover, there is no way to make up the massive wealth accumulated through industrialization relatively easily through the scissors and exploitation of the colonies like the Western countries in the colonial era. Running into the industrial age.It's not that we are cold-blooded and ruthless. There is really no way. Compared with our terrible enemies all over the world, the power of the Soviets is too weak.

Next, the great-leap-forward development of the Great Depression era has not really been completed, and the entire Soviet country is still full of diseases, and we will face the terrible threat of Nazi-fascist forces... Fortunately, the following history has been greatly changed by us .The sacrifices brought to the Soviet people by the world wars are still huge, but numerically speaking, they have been much reduced compared with the other history.Our enemy has been weakened to a level that can be basically ignored, and the Cold War that exhausted the Soviet people will never happen again. It seems that everything is moving towards the bright side. "

Stalin sighed a long time: "...But despite this, in the past year, I have been inexplicably having a terrible dream-in my nightmare, the long years of peace have made our people forget The sufferings of the past have been wiped out and tampered with, and the whitewashing and clamoring of a small group of hypocritical literati have made the distinction between black and white, justice and evil no longer so clear. The pervasive reactionary enemies of capitalism, although They can't beat us on the battlefield, but they can use all kinds of depraved thoughts to corrupt our youth silently, and use all kinds of evil demagogy and false promises to make the greed and ambition of bureaucrats grow rapidly and destroy us from within. A great cause for which we have fought all our lives.

In the end, the red flag of the Kremlin fell, the party emblem with sickle and hammer was smashed, and the confused people were confused by the rhetoric of class enemies, instigated and coerced by bureaucrats with ulterior motives, and destroyed their own country with their own hands, and then there was overwhelming evil , blood and darkness..."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In this regard, Molotov, who also knew some secrets, laughed a few times: "...So that's the case, you are overthinking, and none of this will happen."

"...Yes, all the tragedies and tragedies of the Soviet Union in that world should never have happened again! However, that nightmare was so real that I really dare not think it was just a dream... I have had this nightmare for many years, and now I want to let it go away completely-no matter what cruel decision I make, what kind of infamy I bear, I must personally put myself, this country, and what we fought for Lifelong socialist cause, free from this damned nightmare! Anyway, I am not one more brutal rulers throughout the ages!"

Stalin said so softly, but his expression was stern and stern, "...you can laugh at my lack of self-confidence and irrationality, but I just can't overcome this fear of the future in my heart, and there are many other things. Comrades can't overcome such demons. I don't know what kind of deadly enemy the Soviet Union and the cause of socialism will encounter in this world in the future, but this does not prevent me from taking what I know and confirm when I am able. Well, this enemy who is likely to completely destroy the Soviet Union and the cause of socialism is knocked to the ground with a fist, trampled on [-] feet, and crushed alive!

While it's all well and good to keep America alive and continue to squeeze wealth, it's nothing compared to getting rid of the haunting fears in our hearts.As an ordinary person, I personally feel that there is nothing to be ashamed of, even if the ancient Roman Republic is so proud and confident, because of the fear of Hannibal, after the Third Punic War, it is still resolute Completely destroyed the city of Carthage, the cornucopia that could have continuously brought wealth to Rome, and even sprinkled salt on the ruins of Carthage (symbolizing that the land will lose its vitality forever)? "

Seeing that Comrade Stalin had clearly made up his mind, Molotov sighed, "...Have you already made up your mind? Are you afraid you will regret it in the future?"

"...Well, it has been decided! Instead of regretting not doing it after many years, it is better to regret it after doing it first!"

Stalin pulled the pipe out of his mouth, knocked it on the ashtray a few times, and then said firmly while stuffing new shredded tobacco into it.

"...Then, now that you have made such a decision, may I ask you what your next plan is?" Molotov continued to ask.

"...Well, first of all, we need to continue to make Americans more fully aware of the value of peace and the horror of war! Simply put, it is to launch a strategic nuclear strike against the United States again! And the scale of the nuclear explosion is even greater. If it increases further, the frequency of bombing will also increase!"

A creepy smile appeared on Stalin's face, "...At present, the number of atomic bombs in the Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal has increased to [-]. What a waste! Last year, Miss Sophie gave me a computer game called "Fallout" as a birthday present. This adventure game with a map of the United States is very good, and the children and I love it , other committee members also like it very much. Therefore, I hope that the American people can also play radiation together... of course, it is a live-action version."

——After hearing this, Molotov, who had also played the "Radiation" series of games, couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from his forehead——do you really want to turn the United States into a radiation wasteland in the game?This... just relying on [-] atomic bombs with a single yield of less than [-] tons is probably not enough, right?
Moreover, at this moment in the United States, there should not be so many messy underground shelters... I don’t know if there will be a nuclear bomb town, death claws, nuclear cola, mutants, and the Brotherhood of Steel in a few years. , the Enclave and the New California Republic, where did they appear?

So, recalling the contents of the game, the People's Foreign Affairs Commissioner Molotov soon fell into some kind of wonderful reverie running away...

PS: The author has some digressions to say about the history of Russia’s forced sale or “gift” of Alaska to the United States.

In history, some "stupid" actions that we now consider to be voluntary cession of land are actually because the information we now obtain is often incomplete, and behind those seemingly generous concessions, there are often some factors of last resort or exchange of interests .For example, in the "Treaty of Nerchinsk", which is often criticized in modern China, why did the Qing army cede land to Russia after the victory?It's not entirely because Emperor Kangxi was too stupid or too generous, just giving away the land to others to show off, but because Emperor Kangxi hoped that through a small concession in the outer northeast, in exchange for Russia's cooperation in the northwest, with the Qing army Attack together, or at least the Zhungeer Khanate that no longer supports Galdan.

If the Qing Dynasty failed to conquer this last nomadic empire, then China's northwest border would only reach Jiayuguan, and even Tibet might not be able to hold on.Compared with the land of the Western Regions with a long history and outstanding people, the small piece of wilderness given up because of the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" is nothing.
