Li Xiucheng raised his right hand and said unhurriedly: "As a country in the same camp, your country has always acted as the standard bearer and attracted the attention of all Western countries.
Naturally, it became a thorn in Midi’s side!
Whether you admit it or not, you have tried your best in these years of fighting for hegemony with the American Empire, and you have even sacrificed a lot for military preparations.
The development of light industry, agriculture, and electronic chemical industry lags behind and processing capacity is seriously insufficient.
The result is that although your land is vast and rich in natural resources and primary industry is developed, people's daily necessities are extremely poor. "
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod. It was obvious that Li Xiucheng's words hit the mark, and Ivanlev's expression was even more complex. He was in a higher position and understood the situation in this country better.
I couldn't help but said softly: "Yes, our development is too unbalanced."
"Yes! So you are what I am talking about! You are very powerful in terms of military industry and military strength. You have sharpened the twigs, but you have not polished the twigs, that is, your own hardness enough, which has resulted in you being very weak. Fragile."
"Actually, the situation in your country is similar to that of our country in the 1970s. Of course, we are not as good as you in terms of military industry for the time being.
but..."
Speaking of this, Li Xiucheng spoke loudly and said proudly: "In the past twenty years of reform, we have been developing industry and agriculture in an all-round way, catching up with the world in every industry and at every node.
Our industrial and comprehensive national strength is steadily improving. We are still inferior to your country in some aspects of military industry, but we have surpassed your country in all aspects of light industry.
Therefore, we are already strong enough. "
Only a few paragraphs provided an extremely profound analysis of the national conditions of the two countries. After everyone listened clearly, they had a clearer understanding of the current situation of the country.
Unconsciously, everyone was impressed by these words, including Ivanlev, who waited quietly like students for Li Xiucheng to continue speaking.
Seeing that everyone was listening so intently, Li Xiucheng also talked enthusiastically and said with a smile: "From my analysis, everyone should also understand what I mean when I say that the economic structures of the two countries are complementary."
"Understood!" Looking at Li Xiucheng, Zhao Xueyao's eyes were bright, and she nodded lightly, "We all have our own strengths, and complementing each other can make up for the shortcomings of both parties."
"Yes, this is the premise of combining hardness and softness." Li Xiucheng raised his finger and said with emotion: "In the past ten years, our country has been constantly exploring, hoping to find a path to develop a socialist commodity economy.
The essence of the commodity economy is exchange, so it is necessary to participate in exchange in the international market.
Of course, some people may say that we don’t necessarily have to trade with China?
We can also open up to Western powers!
This is also true, but have you ever considered that there is a huge gap in our economic development levels, and it will definitely be very difficult for the Soviet Union to deal with Western countries.
Since our two countries share a common ideology and have similar levels of development, transactions will definitely be more positive and easier.
Therefore, transactions between the two countries must be carried out!
Only through trade, expanded trade, and comprehensive trade can our two countries successfully complement each other and make progress together. "
Finally, Li Xiucheng smiled at everyone and concluded: "So, proceed with both hardness and softness! This is the answer to the question asked by Mr. Ivan just now."
As these words fell, the hall fell into silence.
Everyone lowered their heads and silently chewed the profound meaning of Li Xiucheng's words. It wasn't until an unknown amount of time elapsed that a round of applause rang out, and everyone came back to their senses and joined in the warm applause with Ivanlev.
Li Xiucheng raised his glass and signaled to everyone, and then the applause gradually subsided.
In fact, he had something left unsaid.
When a backward country carries out reforms, it is necessary to seek foreign aid, and foreign aid cannot help you for no reason.
So paying the price is inevitable.
Just like China's reforms provided Japan and the Four Asian Tigers with a lot of opportunities.
These places have served as a boost in China's reform, but they have also enjoyed dividends, allowing them to make a lot of money.
Fortunately, China's reform was successful under the leadership of great men and the efforts of the people.
The Soviet reform was also an opportunity for China and brought countless benefits to China.
Unfortunately, the Soviet Union eventually fell on this path, and the price it paid was extremely painful, and Russia would not be able to recover for decades to come.
Next, the hall became lively again, but people's attitude towards Li Xiucheng changed a lot.
Before, everyone only made friends with Li Xiucheng simply because he was rich and willing to spend money in order to make some profits.
But after listening to his speech, everyone realized that he was a learned man, and everyone instinctively had a little more respect for learned people.
The most obvious thing is that in the following time, Ivanlev was almost always actively looking for topics to communicate with Li Xiucheng.
Completely ignoring the presence of others.
When Li Xiucheng said goodbye after the banquet, Ivanlev said reluctantly: "Li, you are Yimo's friend and our friend. In fact, you can live at home, and we can have more friends." Have a nice time chatting.”
Li Xiucheng chuckled. He didn't want to waste too much time on old Ivan.
Declined politely: "I will come again when I finish handling the matter, and we will talk then."
"Okay. You guys walk slowly."
"Goodbye everyone."
After walking out of the village courtyard, seeing Zhao Xueyao still following behind, Li Xiucheng smiled and said, "Why, I won't stay here today."
Zhao Xueyao shook Zhao Yimo, who was almost hanging on her arm, and said, "Yesterday I came to stay with Yimo for one night, but I won't do it again."
Zhao Yimo also said with a smile: "Tomorrow we will go to the training ground early in the morning to play with guns, both long and short, and automatic! Have fun."
Li Xiucheng smiled. After becoming famous in his previous life, he also joined a shooting club, but he was only exposed to some ordinary rifles and pistols.
Now that he had the opportunity to see the training equipment of the Soviet army, he was quite looking forward to it.
Early the next morning, Li Xiucheng walked out of the hotel at Zhao Yimo's urging. Everyone got in the car and drove towards the suburbs.
In the car, Zhao Yimo said: "The training ground is in the suburbs. It's a twenty-minute drive after leaving the city. It's still a bit far."
"Kallenina is in charge of the training ground?" Li Xiucheng asked curiously.
"Yes.
My mother used to work in the special forces. It seems that she made great contributions to a certain incident and then rescued a big shot. In order to repay her, the other party transferred her back to be in charge of the training ground.
In the past, the training ground was used for the training of military elites, but later it was slowly opened to some powerful people for 'play'.
Otherwise we wouldn't be able to go. "
"Oh!" Li Xiucheng nodded. In fact, he was more curious about who the big shot was, because according to what Zhao Xueyao said before, Zhao Yimo was once designated as a 'Swallow'.
It should be impossible to fish out such a person who was trapped in the special department with the strength of the Khrenkov family. This big shot must have helped.
But he was curious, and he was not shameless enough to ask further questions.
