    ¡¾250¡¿Loan to Russia Xu Jingcheng, Chinese Ambassador to Russia, met with Alexander II in the Kremlin.  The Kremlin architectural complex, which combines the four architectural styles of Byzantine, Roman, Russian and Baroque, is collectively known as the Kremlin. It consists of endless bell towers, churches, armories, internal guard barracks, royal treasury, royal gardens, noble halls, royal palaces, etc.  The banquet hall, the Tsar's palace and other functional buildings along the Polovtsian Mountains have been continuously constructed and improved for five hundred years to form the entire magnificent Kremlin architectural complex today.  Xu Jingcheng was authorized by Alexander II to take a carriage into the Kremlin from the Spas Tower Gate, the tsar's exclusive entrance and exit. The four-wheeled carriage passed through the deep passage under the Troy Tower and went directly to the Kremlin Palace, where the tsar's administrative palace was located.  This Baroque-style palace looks lovely and moving. The yellow and white exterior walls are painted with bright yellow paint mixed with gold powder, and are inlaid with pure white marble as window frames and exterior column structures.  The six parts of the Kremlin are divided by pavements carefully inlaid with large stones, surrounded by patches of green lawns and uniquely trimmed shrubs. Spring roses climb out of the shrubs and climb up the Baroque-style white marble outer columns.  , which makes people feel like a fairy tale.  The six parts of the Kremlin have different levels. The tallest is five floors and the shortest is two floors. However, five floors are not tall and two floors are not short. Alexander II is in the two-story main hall.  I cordially received Xu Jingcheng. The first floor of the two-story main hall is eight meters high.  "Your Majesty, this is the letter sent to you by Chairman Yao of our country this morning. It has been translated into Russian. Please read it." Xu Jingcheng, wearing a silver-white tie, was polite and heroic, with the good news on his body.  A bird's feather suit paired with Bussen leather shoes looks handsome and fashionable.  Alexander II took Yao Fan's secret message and opened it to read. He couldn't help but think deeply while looking at Xu Jingcheng, who was dressed in fashionable clothes.  With the taste of a high-class aristocrat, he admired Xu Jingcheng's casual jacket, which was simple and playful, especially the silver tie, which was very elegant, but it didn't look like a formal formal suit.  "Perhaps the Chinese think that Western dresses are just casual jackets like this." Alexander II returned to the topic: "Ambassador Xu, your country has offered to provide Russia with a low-interest loan of 20 million yuan, with an annual interest of 10%.  "Used to purchase China's industrial products in exchange for Russia not compromising with Britain, what benefit does this have to China?" Xu Jingcheng said: "It is of great significance to China that the Russian navy obtains free passage of the Bosporus Strait. If Russia can  If the Eastern Mediterranean, especially the outlet of the Suez Canal, has a certain degree of say, Britain will never be able to safely transfer a large number of army and navy to India and Southeast Asia. " "Chairman Yao will pay Russia a one-time payment of 200,000 rubles to pay China.  I highly appreciate the act of sending troops to Annan and believe that Russia is a country that keeps its word. Therefore, it is willing to carry out deeper exchanges and cooperation with Russia. In general, it is to expand the common interests of the two countries, strengthen bilateral economic and trade exchanges, and properly handle border disputes.  " Alexander II nodded slightly: "Russia also appreciates China's ability to fulfill the contract and send troops to Annan and contain Britain and France from the Far East. The great Russia has just obtained the benefits it deserves and signed the "St. Stefan" with Ottoman Turkey.  In the words of Chairman Yao, Britain and France couldn't wait to unite with Germany and Austria to put pressure on Russia. This is the work of British hegemony. " "As you said, the facts are.  This is exactly the case. The "Santo Stefano Treaty" was obtained in exchange for the lives of hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers. If only because Bismarck and the bankers behind him clamored for sanctions, Russia would abandon the Bosporus Strait.  "Your Majesty, where is your authority?" "Xu Jingcheng received conclusive intelligence from China, saying that Russia would choose to give up some of the benefits in the "Santo Stefano Treaty" in the face of pressure from Britain, France, Germany, and Austria, mainly to give up its navy in Bosch.  access to the Prussian Strait in order to prevent the four countries from trying sanctions and subsequent military actions against Russia.  You must know that Russia suffered a tragic victory in this war. All seven armies participating in the Tenth Russo-Turkish War lost more than half, with a total of 160,000 casualties, accounting for more than one-fifth of Russia's 720,000 troops. Considering  The troops participating in the battle were all Russia's strongest elites in Europe, especially the ace Royal Guards and Cossack cavalry. In this battle, they were killed and wounded by the most advanced British and French rapid-fire rifles equipped by the Turks. The low-firing Russian rifles  Speed ??and low precision are exposed.  Alexander II calmly read Yao Fan's secret letter again, raised his head and said: "China will provide Russia with the most advanced drugs, which can significantly reduce deaths and amputation caused by wound infection?" "Yes,  Our penicillin has been successfully developed and used in the War of LiberationIt has been successfully promoted and used across the country with unparalleled results.  " "Do you have the ability to provide Russia with all the urgently needed woolen military uniforms and quilts?  " Xu Jingcheng vowed: "Even if Russia orders 300,000 quilts and 300,000 woolen coats now, China can deliver them smoothly.  In addition, China can also provide Russia with a large amount of cheap sulfur soap. This new type of soap can effectively kill disease-causing bacteria and viruses and prevent troops from getting sick.  The large number of thermos bottles produced in China can also help the Russian people drink hot water in the cold winter.  China can also export watches, fabrics, steel and cement to Russia, which Russia urgently needs.  With the support of China, the blockade of Britain, France, Germany and Austria is not worth mentioning at all!  ¡± Alexander II had long heard from the Russian Minister to China Buter that China was currently undergoing a comprehensive industrial construction, and at the same time, it was frantically building railway lines throughout the country. Although he did not know why China could become so powerful overnight.  "Ambassador Xu, you said that Chairman Yao of your country sent a telegram in the morning and you sent it to me in the afternoon. Could it be that you are already in Russia?"  Secret telegraph lines assumed?  " "Wired telegraphs have long been outdated. China now uses wireless telegraphs. Information thousands of kilometers away can be transmitted within the same day without relying on the construction of countless telegraph poles along the way.  " Alexander II asked in shock: "You mean, telegrams can be transmitted without relying on wires?  " "Yes, this great invention has been born in China. If Russia is willing to develop the alliance between our two countries, China is willing to export wireless telegraph machines to Russia.  " "How much does one cost?  "Alexander II asked impatiently. "One unit only costs five thousand rubles.  "Xu Jingcheng has been authorized by the country to export telegraph machines to Russia. The technology of integrated circuits and circuit boards is an insurmountable gap for countries in the world today. It can be said that even if you get it, you can't understand the structure. " Alexander II walked to the window  , pondered for a moment and then asked: ¡°What exactly does China want?  If China really wants to become an ally of Russia, you should tell Russia frankly about China's intentions.  "Xu Jingcheng said: "As I conveyed to Your Majesty several times the confidential messages from Chairman Yao of our country, China and Russia have a long border. At the same time, China and Russia are both rapidly developing big countries. If we are hostile to each other,  Then Russia will not be able to spare its efforts to control Eastern Europe and even Turkey, and China's plan to develop into Southeast Asia will also be blocked.  In this case, the only ones who benefited were the international banking syndicates, who made huge war windfalls through lending from both ends.  Does His Majesty hope that Russia and China will become slaves of international financial capital?  Russia hopes to dominate Europe, and China hopes to dominate Asia. If we cooperate, we can accelerate each other's goals. If we confront each other, we can only allow other countries to take advantage of the situation and divide the interests belonging to our two countries.  " Alexander II said: "China is currently increasing its troops in Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China. I think this behavior is extremely unfriendly.  " Xu Jingcheng said: "This is precisely because China and Russia have not yet reached mutual trust and have not reached a consensus on the border issue. Russia has been trying to invade Chinese territory for hundreds of years, such as Vladivostok in the Far East and other areas, which are all occupied by Russia.  taken by force.  Regarding historical issues, Chairman Yao proposed to look forward and view them from a development perspective. Therefore, China hopes to strengthen relations with Russia and gradually resolve the historical grievances between the two sides.  In this world, many friends are much better than many enemies.  " Hearing Xu Jingcheng's last words, Alexander II nodded heavily: "You are right, Russia needs friends, but for Mongolia and Xinjiang, I think Russia must receive certain compensation, and China should not monopolize it.  ¡± Xu Jingcheng¡¯s expression suddenly changed. r1058
