Xu Jingcheng felt that he had to give a stern warning. "If His Majesty persists in his greed for Chinese territory and views the Sino-Russian territorial issues with a wrong historical and territorial perspective, Russia will not be able to gain China's friendship." Alexander II turned from the window Faced with such decisive opposition from Xu Jingcheng, he weighed the value of the current Sino-Russian relations in his mind and proposed again: "I agree with Chairman Yao of your country's suggestion to look at problems from a development perspective. Although Russia never begs for other However, for a great neighbor, Russia hopes that the two sides can respect each other to the greatest extent and form friendly relations. "Xu Jingcheng understands that Russia's current foreign policy is actually an isolation policy. Because of their insistence on the dream of a unified pan-Slavic nation, they are feared by all European countries. "Dear Your Majesty the Tsar, in Europe and the East, you can only aim at one target. Russia's geographical location also determines the efficiency of your operations. You should be very clear that any military operation to the Far East is inefficient, regardless of military logistics. Whether it is farming or animal husbandry, the Far East is not the best choice for Russia.¡± In the next hour, under Xu Jingcheng¡¯s lobbying, Alexander II decided to accept the conditional RMB low-interest loan provided by China to purchase people¡¯s livelihood supplies from China. , to alleviate domestic material shortages and five-fold soaring prices caused by large-scale wars and blockades by Britain, France, Germany and Austria. Soon after Xu Jingcheng left the Kremlin, Alexander II specially recruited his son, the future Alexander III, from the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, and ordered the prince to be responsible for the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which he had always dreamed of. Alexander III was extremely obsessed with railways. Historically, it was during his tenure that he completed the construction of the 9,288-kilometer Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostok in 13 years, consolidating Russia's position in the Far East. During this period, countless Siberian nomads and Mongolians were requisitioned as slave labor, leaving numerous bones along the route. Because of the shock after the disastrous defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, the construction of the Siberian Railway, which was forcibly completed, did not end at this point. The subsequent finishing work took a full 12 years to complete. The entire construction period is actually 25 years! Alexander II taught his crown prince: "The rise of China is unpredictable for Russia. For now, they have given us bread and salt and are willing to provide us with loans to resist the pressure from Britain, France, Germany, and Austria, but What about the future? Whether they will launch retaliatory military operations against Russia's Far East is unknown. Many of the great Russian lands in the Far East, including Vladivostok, have come from the war against China. " Alexander III said: " According to the intelligence sent back by the Tatar spies we sent to China, the Chinese are building large-scale railways in their own country. Currently, at least 300,000 workers are building border railways in their north. I heard that the Chinese construction sites It was piled with steel rails. What¡¯s unbelievable is that they all used steel rails, not wrought iron rails!¡± As he spoke, Alexander III took out a card from his pocket and carefully presented the treasure to his father: ¡°China! Since people entered Mongolia, they have been issuing this kind of identity card. Because we cannot imitate this kind of card, many of our newly dispatched spies have been arrested and hanged by the Chinese. "This is what Alexander III said. The proof is actually a first-generation ID card. This is a complete set of systems and materials provided to Yao Fan by the 21st Century. Currently, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Civil Affairs are establishing a nationwide household registration system and ID card information collection. Alexander II took the card from the Crown Prince. As the angle of the small ID card changed, the laser anti-counterfeiting pattern on it kept changing into colorful colors. Alexander II sighed: "I have already seen this kind of identification certificate." Alexander III looked slightly disappointed. Alexander II continued: "As stated by the Russian Royal Academy of Sciences, the Chinese currently possess some extremely secret technologies. According to intelligence speculation, these technologies were invented by rebel scientists funded by the family of Chinese Chairman Yao Fan while in exile. Yao's family evaded the rule of the Manchu emperor overseas and established a large and powerful secret technology system through doing business and funding scientific research. They researched and reserved these secret science and technologies to help his family regain their independence. He played the most critical role in launching a rebellion in China and regaining power from the Tatars. ¡± Alexander III clenched his fists and said to his father encouragingly: "Russia should strengthen its intelligence work and strive to obtain these technologies from China! In the past two years, I have discovered that the goods produced in China have become indispensable to the nobles. From St. Petersburg to Moscow, aristocrats now have to carry thermos bottles made in China when traveling in three cars. Everyone is proud to wear a small and light watch made in China on their wrist; they all like it when taking a bath. Use soap with a fragrant smell made in China; there are always people riding Chinese bicycles in the city in a frivolous show; safety matches produced in China are in short supply among the citizens because they will not catch fire when they are hit; various kinds of products produced in China Because of their bright colors and colorfastness, large Russian textile factories are competing for the dyes; tailor shops in the city place Chinese sewing machines in the center of their stores as works of art; and almost all the ladies of the upper class now have one. Chinese folding umbrellas; all kinds of fabrics produced in China are also everywhere at the dance parties in St. Petersburg and Moscow." Alexander III became more and more excited as he spoke, foaming at the mouth: "Dear Your Majesty, in the past two years, Germany has become more and more popular. Businessmen have made huge fortunes all over the world because of their monopoly on China's export supply! As China's closest neighbor, we have not benefited from it! Now, we have nothing to do except impose high tariffs on German businessmen! I agree with forming an alliance with China! As long as we can get Chinese technology, I don¡¯t care about the barren areas of Xinjiang and Mongolia! Russia can only become rich and powerful by introducing advanced technology! In the past, we only relied on introducing technology from the European continent, but now we should do it! At least half of the attention should be directed to China. "Alexander II was also moved: "AlliesChina's closest ally at present is Germany. The reason why they are extending an olive branch to us now is because they hope that we will be in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The Suez Canal area contains the United Kingdom. " Alexander III raised his voice: "Then we will contain the United Kingdom! I have had enough of the greed and infiltration of the Jewish international banking groups!"
