Red Soviet Union

Alaska is located at the northwestern tip of the North American continent, bordering Canada to the east and surrounded by the Arctic Ocean, Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean on the other three sides. This huge piece of land does not border the continental United States. It can be said that it is an enclave.

Historically, most of the enclaves were the result of the colonial era and were very small in size. However, Alaska is different. Alaska covers an area of ​​more than 1.7 million square kilometers, accounting for one-fifth of the land of the United States with an area of ​​more than 9 million square kilometers!

Also, on maps, because of its proximity to the North Pole, it appears unusually large in world maps drawn in various equidifference parallel polyconic projections. How could the United States have such a large enclave?

And this enclave is the pain of the Soviet Union.

Historically, the earliest civilized people who entered the American continent were Western Europeans, who mainly crossed the Atlantic Ocean and entered the east coast of the Americas in the 16th century, including Spanish Portuguese, Dutch, British and French, etc. Once gone, it will be hundreds of years.

The other group were the Russians who traveled to Siberia and crossed the Bering Strait into Alaska in the 18th century.

In the end, the two civilizations met, and as a result, after the meeting, everyone quarreled, and the date of the two parties was one day apart! This debate has lasted for more than a hundred years, and finally a crooked International Date Line was drawn in the Bering Strait. If you go east, you will add one day, and if you go west, you will subtract one day. God is fair. .

Of course, at this time, Alaska has completely belonged to the Russians who crossed the Bering Strait. Due to the geographical relationship, the Russians are naturally very cold-resistant. The severe cold here is normal for them, but those people living in the warm Western Europe, such as Britain and France, do not have this kind of demeanor, and they cannot adapt to this. severe cold.

However, in the hands of the Russian tsar, Alaska is a tasteless one.

After all, Alaska is too cold. No one knows what lies under this permafrost, and Russia has no ability to develop it. Moreover, Alaska is right next to the British colony of Canada. In the Asian War, he was beaten to pieces by Britain and France, and he ceded land for peace.

Even the old Tsar Nicholas I burped, and the newly enthroned Alexander II is also a softie. He looked at Alaska and felt uncomfortable. If there is another conflict with Britain and France, people attack from the direction of Alaska. Can reach Siberia!

No, this problem must be solved! Sell ​​it to a country that is at odds with Britain and France, relying on other countries to block the threat of Britain and France to the mainland!

In later generations, if a real estate agent came over, they would definitely come to buy it, but at that time, the tsar shouted for several years, but no one dared to buy it.

First of all, the one who wants to buy this land must be a powerful country, and these powerful countries are not interested in this land at all. What is the use of this piece of frozen land? Is it a natural refrigerator?

At the same time, after the rise of Russia, it has been eating other people's territory. Other countries are also suspicious of Tsarist Russia. Is it really selling? Still want to go fishing?

As a result, after waiting for several years, a country finally arrived, the United States!

At that time, the United States did not wear the same trousers as Britain and France. The filth on both sides was at its most intense.

In 1861, the Civil War broke out in the United States. This kind of civil war in the United States is rare in a century. No, it can be said to be the only one in the entire history of the United States. At that time, the Western European powers who looked at the United States as disliked also took the opportunity to plan to dismember the United States.

After all, the Americans were liberated from the colonial war, and of course they don't see eye to eye with the West. At that time, President Lincoln asked Tsarist Russia for help. After all, Tsarist Russia also had enmity with these great powers. As a result, Tsarist Russia sent a fleet into New York Harbor to contain other great powers.

Throughout the war, Tsarist Russia’s fleet did not fire a single shot. However, traveling halfway around the world required a huge military expenditure. At that time, Tsarist Russia came here on a friendly basis and did not ask the Americans for money.

then,

US Secretary of State William Henry Seward decided to get closer to the Russians, so he bought Alaska, which Tsarist Russia had called for several years but no one bought it, for $7.2 million.

Now, $7.2 million is not too much money, but at the time, it was an astronomical deal!

As a result, the Russians happily sold Alaska to the United States. And Seward was scolded bloody in China, the stupid Seward bought a super large refrigerator for 7.2 million US dollars!

At that time, Seward resisted the scolding, and history also proved his foresight.

Just a few decades later, Arras discovered rich mineral deposits, including gold, including oil. The particularity of the geographical location makes it a transit point for air routes between the Pacific Ocean. For example, flying from the United States to Tokyo is not a direct flight, but first goes north to Alaska, and then to Tokyo. In this way, it saves more routes , because the weft coil above is shorter!

At the same time, what makes the Soviet Union even more depressed is that after World War II, with the entry into the Cold War, Alaska's superior geographical location has become the launch site of the United States' intercontinental missiles. From here, it can directly hit the Soviet Union!

Just like when the Soviet Union wanted to deploy ballistic missiles in Cuba, the United States opposed it with all its strength. Deploying nuclear bombs on other people's borders is the most deterrent.

At the same time, if the Soviet Union regains the land here, it will be a huge threat to the United States!

You know, the south of Alaska is Canada, which is also a developed capitalist country, but the Canadian army has no combat effectiveness. If the Soviet army wants to use it, then Canada may only have to get out of the way to let the Soviet army pass!

At that time, the Soviet army will be able to rush directly to the United States! The main battlefield of the war will be in the United States!

Alaska, this originally unknown state, has now suddenly become the focus of the world's attention, even surpassing the southern state of Arkansas!

The Soviet Union did not declare war on the United States in the same way. After the United States decided to declare war on the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union just turned over the old score: Back then, Alaska was sold by that idiot Alexander II, and now the Soviet Union has decided not to sell it!

Wasn't it sold for $7.2 million? Now, let's buy it back for another $7.2 million!

The arrival of this news almost made the top officials of the White House vomit blood with anger, Nima, how many times has the price of goods increased over the years? At this time, the 7.2 million US dollars can only build one f22 at most!

The deadline given by the Soviet Union was one day! One day later, if the United States disagrees, the Soviet Union will use its own way to take Alaska over!

Now manipulating the U.S. government is just a group of businessmen. Do you understand war?
