Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 310 Arrival in Moscow

And what Hou Xiaoge said just now that Ukraine will be recovered soon was also a hint to the other party. She can take the money back to her hometown, otherwise she will not be able to keep the money.

Lina was obviously stunned after hearing what Hou Xiaoge said, then she nodded with red eyes.

"Then I will take Saliva away. I hope we can meet again in the future."

After seeing off Lina and her daughter, who had shared their heartfelt feelings with each other, Hou Xiaoge exchanged some tickets with the farm for Saliva to give to her family.

Because in those days, the Russians also used tickets. Just having money was not enough, you also needed tickets to buy things.

The coupon system was not unique to China from the 1950s to the 1980s. Many countries had implemented it during that era, including the United States.

In recent years, the United States has supported the Allies, especially the West, on its own. Because it has used up most of its savings, it has been in short supply and has to implement a rationing system.

Take sugar for example, a large part of the sugar in the United States came from Vietnam, a colony in Southeast Asia. But as the Japanese occupied Vietnam, the supply of sugar in the United States was also stretched.

Hou Xiaoge's Anxin Farm has cheap labor from the Chinese, and with thorough land utilization, it has made a lot of money in America over the past year.

Even the governor of California came to Anxin Farm in person to negotiate and offered many tax incentives and subsidies.

This is the case in the United States, let alone in Russia, where the rationing system is implemented more thoroughly. Tickets are much more useful than money. Ordinary people cannot move without tickets.

After a day off at the farm, Hou Xiaoge went to Maozi with the guard team and Alman the next day.

The closer they got to the heartland of the Russians, the more scorched earth and ruins they saw. Hou Xiaoge could even see some uncleaned corpses scattered everywhere.

Hou Xiaoge also learned about the war situation here. The war between Putin and Mao was much more brutal than that in Central Europe. Both sides had been implementing a scorched earth policy.

What is scorched earth policy? It means making your place uninhabitable and making the occupied place worthless.

The Prussian fascists implemented a scorched earth policy in Russia, which was to destroy, plunder, and damage everything, making it impossible for the Russians to survive. Even the wells were filled up!

To put it in an exaggerated way, the yolk of the egg is scattered by shaking. This is the madness of fascism.

The Russians were also cruel to themselves. If they couldn't win the battle, they would take away all the people and animals and destroy all the cities. It was really too cruel.

Our national government has also used this policy in China, preparing for a scorched earth war, and even implemented it in Changsha.

But our national government is much worse than the Russians and has no ability to take the people away.

The Wenxi Fire harmed the people of Changsha and burned down the city of Changsha, which had been built for hundreds of years. This caused huge losses. What is the difference between this and the Japanese? To put it bluntly, it is even worse than the Japanese.

Of course, not implementing a scorched earth policy like Prussia's does not mean that the Japanese are good people. There is not a single good person in the fascist countries.

The Japanese implemented a scorched earth policy in China, burning everything, killing everything, and looting everything, which was also a form of fascism.

It’s not that they don’t want to implement a scorched earth policy like Prussia in China, but mainly because they are “poor” and that small country has always coveted China’s land.

The Japanese have a small territory and their main purpose in China is to occupy and enslave. They really want to be the master of the Chinese, which is no less than Prussia.

……

Looking at the charred and collapsed city buildings, Hou Xiaoge scanned with his mental power and saw even broken corpses buried under many of the buildings. He could also imagine how fierce the fight between the two sides was at that time.

It is now April, the weather is getting warmer, and there are many more members working in the fields. However, most of these members are women, children, and even the elderly.

As for the men, needless to say, they all went to the battlefield.

However, at this time, the Russians, like the Chinese, were full of hope for the future. They were all very motivated and few of them were lazy.

As the convoy moved further northwest, they encountered more and more troops, and the team dared not move forward. After all, the saying that the soldiers are like bandits is not an exaggeration.

"Mr. Hunter, we can't go to the front line. Let's go directly to Moscow! There is a military liaison office there." After experiencing repeated military blockades and robberies, Arman didn't want to move forward anymore.

"can!"

Hou Xiaoge didn't want to leave either. The Russian soldiers were more troublesome than bandits. He encountered at least eighty people who extorted money along the way.

If Hou Xiaoge and Alman had not brought more than a hundred guards with them, the small army would not be able to handle it and the convoy would probably have been eaten to the point of nothing being left.

The key is that you can't fight these Russian soldiers, you can only give them some money as bribe.

"No wonder people often say that the Russians are full of corruption! The lower class is the most true portrayal of the upper class. Damn, they are on par with the Kuomintang government." Hou Xiaoge complained in his heart.

When the convoy drove more than a hundred miles near Moscow, the situation suddenly became peaceful. The troops that were blocking the road and robbing people disappeared, and only farms and factories remained.

Of course, this peace would be impossible without looking at the ruins all around.

Thanks to Arman's leadership, there were only occasional inspections along the way. When they saw the cargo in the carriages being inspected, they would at most give something as a token of their appreciation. The convoy was still relatively stable.

"Hunter, look, that's Moscow!" Arman said excitedly when the car arrived at a large construction site.

"This journey has not been easy! We have finally arrived in Moscow." Hou Xiaoge also smiled.

At this time, it had been two years since the Battle of Moscow. Most of the buildings in the city, which had experienced the baptism of destruction by artillery fire, had long since become ruins. After the war, there were large construction sites everywhere. It was obvious that the Russians were rebuilding their heart.

Along the way, Hou Xiaoge opened the window and looked at the Gothic buildings with relish, listening to the red songs played on the loudspeakers, including Katyusha's songs.

The Russians on the road were just like the Chinese people in the 1950s and 1960s. They held their heads high, were full of energy and sang cheerful songs.

"This is a thriving country!" Hou Xiaoge exclaimed with emotion.

"Hi! Friend, you are right. We are working hard to build the great sickle and hammer." A young man riding a bicycle and wearing a military cap greeted Hou Xiaoge when the car passed by.

"For the sickle and axe!" Hou Xiaoge replied with a smile, clenching his fists.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Hou Xiaoge said. China also has the sickle and the axe, and they are all fighting for their dreams.

Because Arman had only been to Moscow once, it was not easy to find the stationed location of the Kazakh military representatives. In the end, Hou Xiaoge used his money to find a beautiful girl as a guide for one hundred rubles.

"We're here, this should be it!" The guide girl sitting in the passenger seat stuck her head out and pointed at the Islamic building outside.

Hou Xiaoge looked and saw three flags outside the building. The middle one was the Russian red flag, the left one was the Kazakh national flag, and the right one was a military flag.

The Soviet Union and Mao Zedong are an alliance of countries, with Mao Zedong as the main body. However, it does not mean that Kazakhstan is not a country. Hou Xiaoge knows this.
