Chapter 4838

The war between Poland and Russia ended with komorovsky's suicide. Of course, although the war is over, how to prevent future wars has become the number one problem for the European Union and even the world. After all, this time, the number of casualties in the war between Poland and Russia is conservatively estimated to be as high as 1.5 million, which is the largest one after the Korean War. The war lasted only three days.

The three-day war has caused such tragic casualties, which gives the world a more intuitive and correct understanding of modern war. In the wars before that, no matter in the first World War, the second world war or the Korean War, there has never been a war like the war between Poland and Russia that would cause so many casualties in such a short period of time. This made everyone realize that the Third World War, the war of annihilation, is by no means a joke.

To a certain extent, the war between Poland and Russia made most people have a clear understanding of modern war. Civilized society must resist war, especially large-scale war. Once it breaks out, it will be the end of the world!

"Boss, this is the amber mining right passed by Russia." Melissa sent Putin's Amber mining right certificate to Kaliningrad by special courier. Getting this certificate means that the amber mining right in Kaliningrad belongs to Linfeng. No one can take this job away.

"But boss, Kaliningrad has just been bombed and the road is blocked. Even if the amber mine is mined, I'm afraid it can't be transported out. Unless we build roads! " Melissa murmured. She thinks that Russia is using Lin Feng to rebuild Kaliningrad.

Lin Feng smiles.

"It's just a small thing. Just fix it. However, Kaliningrad is of little value to Russia. I think it's better. When can I buy it from Putin? " Lin Feng thought.

Kaliningrad? Melissa's eyes turned white. In order to Kaliningrad, Putin did not hesitate to flatten Warsaw. Do you want to buy it now? Will Putin sell it? How could he sell it. This is not a dream!

As a result, what made Melissa even more speechless was that Lin Feng called Putin directly to discuss the matter in this way.

"President Putin, I have this amber mine, but Kaliningrad state is blasted. If you let me mine it, how can I transport it away? Otherwise, on your side, invest in infrastructure quickly! There is no road. I have this amber mine, which is equivalent to no road! " Lin Feng directly asked to build the road.

"Lin, I want to repair it, but I don't have the money. Fighting is the most expensive. This time, I gave up asking for compensation. Now I spend a lot of money on all kinds of pensions. You ask me to build roads, but I have no money! What's more, in that barren land, you asked me to rebuild the road vigorously. It's a waste of money! " Putin is very helpless to say.

After the war, Kaliningrad's few citizens chose to return to Russia. It's too dangerous to live outside our native land. It's too insecure to be directly bombed. And their homes have long been bombed, so the Kaliningrad people who escaped from the war are all unwilling to come back.

Of course, occasionally some old people who are unwilling to abandon their hometown still choose to rebuild their homes in Kaliningrad. However, for the sake of these people, he has invested a lot of money to rebuild Kaliningrad, which has little resources and strategic significance. Of course, this is mainly because Russia has no money. If you have money, you are willing to repair it.

However, in Russia's current environment, western countries intentionally or unintentionally suppress Putin, making him unable to develop if he wants to. After all, there is a lack of infrastructure in China. Let's not talk about Kaliningrad.

"But President Putin, it's useless for me to get the amber mine without building roads. You can't let me repair the road. It's no problem to build roads, but how much money does it cost to build roads? I can't earn it back after spending so much money! " Lin Feng turned his lips.

"Then you fix it. I'll give you tax reduction or exemption." Putin laughed, and then a flash of light flashed in his mind, "I said Lin Feng, what do you mean in your words? If you have any words, just tell me straight away. Don't give me the twists and turns of those unscrupulous businessmen!"

Lin Feng laughs.

"President Putin, what I mean is that Kaliningrad is full of waste. It's not impossible for you to let me invest, but I'm not a Russian. I can't offer my love for free. Even if I'm Russian, I've never seen anyone offer love so freely. So, I can't build roads, but I have to make a profit! " Lin Feng said.

"Come on, what do you want?" Putin vaguely guessed Lin Feng's intention.

"Alaska!" Lin fengxiao said.

Alaska! Putin sniffed.

During the glacial period about 15000 years ago, most of the earth's surface was covered with ice and snow. Today, a large area of land that sank at the bottom of the ocean stood above sea level, one of which connected Alaska and Siberia. For a long time, Alaska was uninhabited. Until June 1741, the Danish Explorer Vitas Bering led a group of Russian sailors to set out from Siberia to search for the new continent. On July 16, they discovered Alaska for the first time, and the otter growing in Alaskan waters became the biggest discovery of the expedition.

Of course, although Alaska is cold, it also has indigenous people. Eskimos, Aleutians and Indians. However, the population of these three races has always been extremely scarce. After all, the environment is too bad. Today, Alaska's Aborigines have long been extinct.

After that, Russian hunters established permanent settlements in Alaska, where they later multiplied. Alaska is one of the territories of tsarist Russia. But this barren land really made tsarist Russia have little interest in it. Manage, waste money, do not manage, after all, this is the territory of Czarist Russia, you have to let the ships of other countries, that is not a matter, it is harmful to Czarist Russia. The British, in particular, come here from time to time and say that they want to occupy here, which makes tsarist Russia even more headache.

Therefore, tsarist Russia made a very clever decision, that is, to sell this frozen soil for some money. However, at that time, the Tsarist Russian government had a bad reputation in the world. It was always invading countries. It was a typical robber, and there were few profiteers doing business with it. Especially in Alaska, who wants one!

This left tsarist Russia helpless. Just at this time, the civil war broke out in the United States. Lincoln wanted to unify the whole country, but his military strength was a little poor. The main reason was that all countries in the world looked at the United States. Once the United States was facing division, all countries in the world would not mind dividing up the United States at this time. So Lincoln borrowed troops from Russia. Although tsarist Russia's national strength was not very strong at that time, its weapons and equipment were behind those of Britain.

However, tsarist Russia's reputation was there. When it came, it made the powers hesitate. As a result, it gave President Lincoln time to unify the United States. However, the Tsarist Russian fleet went around half the world and went to New York Harbor. Although it did not fire a single shot, it also faced huge war expenses. For the Tsarist Russian government, which was in poor economic condition, it was even worse.

At this time, William Henry Seward, then Secretary of state of the United States, was very generous. He said, "we've just finished the war and we're waiting for nothing.". But your country has traveled thousands of miles to help us. This friendship, for example, can't let you come here in vain. Aren't you selling Alaska? People don't want us to pay. Brother, you are so kind to us. We will treat you well. Isn't it second-hand? Don't mind with us. Don't sell at a low price. We can offer as much as we can.

Finally, the United States bought Alaska for $7.2 million. In 1867, the star spangled flag was first raised on Alaska territory. It's more than money. Now, it's certainly not worth it. But according to the price at that time, the money was not cheap.

What was the price like at that time? One dollar can buy 0.05 ounces of gold, which is 1.417 grams of gold. How much is a gram of gold now? At that time, we can imagine what one dollar could do. It can be said that the 7.2 million US dollars is still a very high price for the Tsarist government. A frozen soil, which no one wants, can be sold for 7.2 million US dollars, so the Tsarist government is naturally in high spirits.

But did Russia take advantage? Later generations know that the Tsarist government did not take advantage. But even then, it didn't take advantage. Why?

At that time, the fleet that Russia sent to support the United States was the Atlantic Fleet and the Pacific fleet of Russia. The total cost of the two fleets was more than 4.2 million rubles. After that, the cost of the two fleets was more than 7.2 million rubles. At that time, the ruble and the US dollar were basically equivalent in exchange.

In other words, the U.S. government spent $7.2 million on inviting the Tsarist Russian fleet to support its platform and help the U.S. complete the reunification of the north and the south. By the way, it also made a seemingly useless Alaska!

It has to be said that the US government was very cunning at that time. The Tsarist government at that time was very stupid. The United States paid a high price to buy frozen soil that you can't sell. Is the Tsarist government willing to claim military expenses? You didn't fire a shot. Do you want to pay for military expenses? The Tsarist government is naturally embarrassed to mention it. Naturally, the result is that the United States takes advantage!

And then, after the discovery of oil and some minerals in Alaska, its value goes without saying. Alaska, a permanent pain for Russia.

Now, Lin Feng is going to buy Kaliningrad again, which makes Putin feel uncomfortable!

Is it for sale?
