Chapter 213: Jedarev

Although what Liu Yu said may sound a little unbelievable and incredible to outsiders, Li Yi believed it.

The reason is very simple, that is, with Maozige's character of daring to drink industrial alcohol or even aviation gasoline as vodka, it is very likely that he will let go of his grudges when he sees alcohol.

Secondly, Maozige is really having a hard time now, and the same is true for the army.

As we all know, the highly centralized planned economic system currently pursued has played a major role in the early days of the country and before and after World War II, and has also made Maoziguo leap from a backward agricultural country to a powerful industrial country.

In the late 1970s, Maozige's GDP once reached two-thirds of that of the United States, and some major economic indicators, such as oil, natural gas, steel, cement, fertilizers and more than 20 other industrial products, surpassed the United States and ranked first in the world.

However, due to well-known reasons, Maozige's economy began to fall into a long-term recession. In the late 1980s, its domestic economy had already experienced negative growth, and the country's fiscal deficit and debt increased sharply.

In 1990, the fiscal deficit was 58.1 billion rubles, and in 1991 it soared to 300 billion rubles. At that time, the exchange rate between the Russian ruble and the US dollar was still at the level of 1 ruble = 0.9 US dollars. However, in the same year, a report on the economic strength and world status of Russia written by the Rand think tank of the United States stated that Russia's GDP in 1989 was only 700 billion US dollars, only one-fifth to one-sixth of that of the United States.

And due to inflation, Russia's per capita consumption level has dropped to the lower middle level in the world, and one-third of the country's population is below the official poverty line. Very common daily necessities such as alcohol, soap, and toilet paper are extremely scarce.

And even the army is not immune to such a situation. It is entirely possible that their border guards can't eat or drink.

But it is really shocking that Liu Yu got involved with a Russian regiment-level officer because of fighting and drinking.

Even the knowledgeable Li Yi couldn't help but give him a thumbs up!

But it's okay, people like this are usually easy to talk to, just prepare a few bottles of good wine, so a complete plan gradually emerged in Li Yi's mind!

On the other side, Wei Sanpao said with some doubts: "Wait a minute, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong, brother?" Liu Yu asked with a smile.

"Brother Liu, why did the old Russian believe you so easily? Didn't they doubt you?"

Liu Yu controlled the steering wheel and turned a corner, then said in a deep voice: "Of course I know, they are not stupid!"

"Then why did they..."

"Haha, there is nothing to figure out, you don't understand the situation on the Russian side! They earn more than us, and they do have money in their hands, but due to the lack of supplies, their money can't buy the daily necessities they need!"

Then Liu Yu continued: "Take the border defense regiment on the opposite side, the entire border defense regiment up and down At least several thousand brothers, they can't buy food with just military pay, and they still eat corn in winter, what's this? "

"They can't even eat enough, let alone wine, life is really too difficult! Look at what we are here for, we are here to bring them food and drink, they naturally welcome us!"

Qi Rong smiled and said: "Liu Yu is our great hero, we have come and gone seven or eight times, and each time it is this Maozi's border defense regiment that makes things convenient for us, and we always bring him a batch of wine. "

Li Yi's eyes lit up, and another idea emerged!

It seems that Maozi has a special liking for wine, and cigarettes must be very popular. Why don't I deal in these two goods, and then sell them together with ham sausage and canned food, so that I can get a better chance of changing planes!

It didn't take long for the car to cross the border and slowly stop at the gate of a camp.

The walls of the camp were all in Maozi language, and Li Yi could roughly understand what it meant, "Military restricted area, no entry for idle people".

The vehicle stopped at the entrance of the camp, and some soldiers immediately became alert, but after seeing the license plate number, they put away their AK47s.

Li Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it must be unpleasant to be pointed at by a gun.

Liu Yu stuck his head out and said in Maozi language with a smile: "Is your boss here?"

The soldier smiled and said: "Liu, I'm so glad to see you. The boss is in the office. You can go in directly!"

Liu Yu smiled and nodded, and then a soldier came out to let him pass and raised the pole.

Liu Yu drove the car inside and turned back to Li Yi and said: "Give him the wine. We are going to withdraw. We can't stay in the camp for too long, otherwise people will gossip."

Li Yi was a little curious. Why didn't Qi Rong and the others do business directly with Maozi?

But now is obviously not the time to consider this issue. After the car stopped at the entrance of an office building, Li Yi and Wei Sanpao got out of the car.

Before leaving, Li Yi gave Wei Sanpao a look, and Wei Sanpao nodded and turned back to pick up the bag.

The four people, led by a soldier, came to the second floor, which was obviously the office of the garrison.

I knocked on the door of the office gently, and soon a voice came.

"Come in!"

Liu Yu pushed open the door and walked into the office, smiling and saying, "Jedalev, my friend, long time no see!"

The Russian man called Jedalev has a big beard and his age is unclear, but he is very burly, and his head alone must be more than 1.9 meters tall!

The big officer stood up and said in a thick Russian language: "Oh, Liu, long time no see my friend, I finally see you!"

Liu Yu smiled and said: "You miss my wine! Don't worry, I got you two boxes, enough for you to drink for a while!"

Jedalev is very enthusiastic, because he understands that these Dragon Country merchants are only good for him, not bad!

And he only needs to give them passes to get a lot of good things in exchange. It is a sure-win business, so he must do it well.

"My friend, what did you bring this time?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "They are all daily necessities. You know, we won't touch the gun business. This is the bottom line!"

Jedalev smiled and said, "I know, my friend, you are very trustworthy and more trustworthy than those dwarfs from the island countries!"

When Li Yi heard this, he immediately reacted. It seems that this Maozi had a conflict with the islanders, or was he cheated by the islanders?

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Oh, my friend, I will introduce you to someone. This is my little brother, Li Yi. He may have what you want!"

Jedalev immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yi.

Qi Rong was full of smiles, sitting in place and patting Li Yi on the shoulder.

Qi Rong had seen this Jedalev. After all, he was the real boss, so he had a good relationship with Jedalev.

Seeing Qi Rong's attitude towards Li Yi, Jedalev also saw that Li Yi was unusual.

"Qi, my old friend, is this your man?"

Qi Rong smiled and said, "This is my teacher's friend, and he is my partner!"

When Jedalev heard this, he looked at Li Yi curiously.

Li Yi unexpectedly said in a standard Russian language: "Hello, Mr. Commander, my name is Li Yi, from the south of Longguo, I have something that you will definitely be interested in!"

When Jedalev heard this, he smiled and said, "I am surprised that you can speak our language. What is it?"

Li Yi took the bag from Wei Sanpao and put the ham and canned food in the bag in front of Jedalev.

"Mr. Commander, this is the canned food we produced ourselves, you can try it!"

Jedalev looked at the canned food in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
