Again, the problem with the Soviet Union was the military.
It almost came to my mind that the Soviet Union in actual history, carrying the heavy burden of armaments, and trying to compete with the United States, which is different from the basic weight class, was rather great. Seeing the United States alone at war, spending huge amounts of money, made me even stronger.
Conversely, the gap narrowed faster than expected as the United States spent a lot of money on armaments, the Soviet Union spent relatively little, and went all-in on the development of productive forces.
“Finally, our people’s standard of living… !”
“Thanks to the wise guidance of Comrade General… !”
Normally, I would have told him to shut up, but considering the great contribution that Khrushchev made to the improvement of the people’s living standards, it was worth taking a look at this at least once. Not knowing my heart to endure the purge, Khrushchev continued to flatter.
“After all, isn’t the leadership of Comrade General Secretary indispensable to the prosperity of our Soviet Union? In that sense, Moscow quickly became Stalindar (Stalin’s gift)… .”
“You… .”
Of course, popping the pipe a few times was enough. Khrushchev, with his mouth shut like a hawk, looked at the pipe with terrified eyes. Like Gorbachev, you have to have the Korean peninsula engraved on your head before you can come to your senses.
Well, in real history, is it okay to change stance after playing the role of a faithful rattle like this? The problem is that ‘me’ is so good that I have reached an absolute position that is difficult to downgrade.
after. you’ll be fine Higher, more educated citizens will take care of demanding more democracy, more progress, and more progress. The socialist system will collapse on its own if Khrushchev’s leadership does not meet their demands after my death.
Now is the time to brag about our victories.
“Don’t be silly, wipe the sweat from your head and follow me. Looking at that friend’s face, shouldn’t it be like that?”
“Yes! I see, Comrade Secretary-General!”
All members of the Politburo were wearing their best people’s clothes and showing off their fashion in their own way. To be honest, it was quite rude.
Why the hell is Molotov wearing that big flower on his chest? Molotov was like a swallow pretending to be a swallow, with a lot of pomade on his hair, and glasses on the tip of his nose, and an old-fashioned flower on his chest.
The blind borong… Borosilov hung a bunch of medals to keep his form, but he wore a white McGow hat on his head, and his trousers were matched in white, from tight trousers to tight shoes.
“… .”
Have we already lost in fashion? Again, socialist countries had reasons to lose to capitalism.
* * *
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.”
“Hahaha… Yes, Mr. Secretary. Nice to meet you.”
Compared to me with a smile on my face, the American representative never seemed as happy as he was talking. It was the Vice President, McCarthy, who participated as the representative of the United States at the expo for cultural exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union as the first step for ‘thawing’.
While chewing, chewing, tasting, and enjoying the Soviet Union, McCarthy, who came to the Soviet Union as a representative of the United States, seemed very unhappy. To the extent that he cannot even manage his facial expressions, which is a basic virtue of a politician.
Conversely, I did not need to manage my facial expressions. It was so much fun for McCarthy to be inspected by the Soviet honor guard between the Soviet flag and the Stars and Stripes.
“Didn’t you feel uncomfortable coming here?”
“Ah… Thanks for your consideration… It was very comfortable.”
“exactly? We, the Soviet Union, were able to build very good aircraft thanks to the technology they had learned from the United States. May the friendship between the USSR and the United States be like this forever!”
heh heh heh Seeing him wince every time he mentioned the smile and friendship made me burst out into laughter. McCarthy’s political level was too low for him to laugh and chat with him every day.
If MacArthur himself had come, would there have been that level of showmanship? Of course, MacArthur didn’t seem to have the guts to fly to Yalta for a meeting like Roosevelt did. Unlike Roosevelt, he was also hostile to the Soviet Union.
Anyway, entering the fairgrounds, I pretended to be close to McCarthy. Wouldn’t it be really hard to assume the role of vice president of the United States, and there is no such thing as one’s own life, that is the burden of politicians.
As a ‘senior politician’, I could feel McCarthy shaking as I pretended to give advice to a junior who had just entered politics. No, it might be twisted for the great demon king of the purge of a communist country to act as a senior to him, who is a democratic politician in his own way.
But this is our home ground. Even the newest McCarthy was not enough to tease his tongue here. As proof of that, aren’t you accepting me for pretending to be friendly enough to the point where sweat is dripping down my forehead?
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Also, Vice President McCarthy has a great sense of humor! This is something I need to learn a few things! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Hahaha… Thank you, thank you.”
“What! Thank you and what can we do?”
When it comes to ‘between us’, to be honest, it’s not really a relationship, it’s close to an enemy, but when he said that, McCarthy gasped as if speechless.
After all, did my wink work? Other members of the Politburo also poked out their tongues as if in astonishment when they saw it, but what is truly astonishing is your fashion.
“By the way, Vice President McCarthy. If your wife… Didn’t you come with me?”
“Ah… I am still single.”
Of course I know. In real history, McCarthy, who married a researcher working in his office in 53 years, adopts a newborn daughter shortly before his death in 57.
I knew much more than McCarthy knew about himself. But he pretended to be surprised.
“Huh, that’s right! After all, it’s really difficult to handle both the family and the country. I also understand that my wife and I are already widowed. Heh heh heh, there was something else in common in this respect!”
I didn’t like it, but there was a reason why I made a boss who kept pretending to be friendly. You have to be psychologically embarrassed to make a mistake.
Now this conversation was being recorded by dozens of station cameras. McCarthy’s mistakes will be maliciously and intentionally edited and broadcast around the world.
While caring for McCarthy like this, our steps reached the fairgrounds. The theme of the fair was ‘Soviet Family’.
“character! come and see What kind of life our “ordinary” working-class families in the USSR enjoy. Well, America also enjoys wealth, but… .”
Now is the time to blow propaganda into the millions of homes in America. Thankfully, McCarthy was the parent and followed us. The other attendants seemed perplexed, but they had no authority.
Various objects were on display at the fairgrounds. The entire venue was a single family, and each building showed numerous home furnishings to be placed in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.
A “standard working-class family” in the Soviet Union, in modern terms, a “50,000 ruble household” enjoys about this standard of living! This is what our Soviet Union wanted to show the United States. With a little bit of tweaking, that kind of working family could actually enjoy this kind of life.
“character… The US is also importing a lot of our TVs these days, isn’t it? Our Soviet Union will now provide television to all households within 7 years!”
“… .”
McCarthy seemed to have come to his senses and looked around at the numerous home appliances of the Soviet Union, which I was proud of, with an expression of sharp deterioration.
“This product has the largest screen among the televisions we have developed, and they say that it sells well in the United States. Vice President McCarthy, could you bring one with you? A leader of the clan has come so much, but how can you say that the Soviet Union has good people only if you don’t treat him that much? Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Hmm… Even the US could develop such a product in a year or so. I use domestic products.”
“Oh, but I think it will probably take a while before it gets to the public. No, poor people of color can’t even ride buses properly! I thought all Americans ate Hershey’s chocolate every day and drank Coca-Cola for a living!”
“… Hahaha. The Soviets, on the other hand, are importing huge amounts of food from the United States because they cannot eat properly?”
Even McCarthy responded with an anger as if he was not going to lose. The fact that his face had already earned him was only second-rate as a politician and a commentator, even if it was a public propaganda campaign.
“Ahahahaha, that’s right. Thanks to Good Friend America, we have been able to invest heavily in more advanced industries instead of agriculture.”
“Okay… .”
After all, you are a backward agricultural country and we are an advanced industrial country, so what are you proud of exporting only a lot of food? McCarthy, who had an insect repellent, sharpened his teeth and turned his eyes to me, who immediately turned the topic.
“Ah! air conditioner! This is also a good product. Our Soviet Union doesn’t have much use for it, but our comrades in Algeria, Egypt, and Vietnam are importing a lot.”
“Haha, wasn’t that air conditioner invented in America?”
“But it’s so expensive that most people can’t even use it, right? No, why pay so much on electricity to people who can’t afford it?”
I ate one more room. The Soviet Union succeeded in increasing the share of nuclear energy in energy production by nearly 15% using nuclear technology developed during the war. Considering the nature of the Soviet Union, where electricity and energy costs are still high, I lowered the cost of heating and cooling for home use so that no matter how much money I spend, I almost never pay.
McCarthy trembled, but kept his mouth shut, not knowing what to say.
“Ah hagisa… Hmmm. Do you have any plans to win an order for a nuclear power plant from our state-run energy corporation? After all, our Soviet Union is as good as nuclear technology… .”
“We too! We have a plan to build a nuclear power plant, even a budget! Comrade General Secretary is like that! tell me! Even if you don’t!”
Ah! I actually knew that too. As far as I know, the original technologies related to nuclear power in the US aren’t that great, but are they building them as a means of inevitably competing with the system?
America’s nuclear physics technology was relatively lagging behind because the Manhattan Project was not completed independently, and a significant number of nuclear physicists fled to the Soviet Union or a third country because of McCarthyism.
Although I was a little uneasy that the location was Three Mile Island, where the actual nuclear power plant accident occurred. Three Mile Island was a key point in the eastern part of New York, 220 km away from Washington DC and 135 km from Washington DC.
The distance from the Fukushima nuclear power plant to Tokyo is about 200km, so can you say that it is okay? Neither New York nor DC would be safe if something like the Chernobyl explosion happened… .
“Heh heh heh, right? I guess I was in a bit of a hurry because I still can’t build it!”
Build it in a hurry and pretend We borrowed the technology of Siemens, Germany, which we brought all of us, and built it with an “excessive obsession” with safety, but is that the case in the United States?
