To be able to pick someone up at the airport at 3 a.m., this naturally requires a very close relationship. Also, it’s because almost no one goes to that place, it’s rare and exciting!
When Kim Jong-un received Putin in the city center, it was already dawn, which was of course timed. A grand welcome ceremony was held for Putin, with huge portraits hung up, a vast square, a mighty and imposing honor guard, jubilant children, balloons flying in the sky, dancing girls, high-pitched and passionate music, and endless applause… Imagine, if you were the master of all this, what would you think?
That must be like a calf sitting on a power line, awesome with lightning, just missing the line: This is my empire!
I think Putin’s feelings are very complex. Although he is the president of a great power, he has not experienced this kind of imperial treatment. He probably feels that he has been president for 24 years in vain, and the young man whose smile is flowing from the fat on his face is showing off to him.
Undoubtedly, the North Korean people who watched this scene will be in tears because ‘my motherland is so powerful’. Although they can’t even eat enough.
Then they signed a mutual defense agreement, promising to help each other when their countries are ‘invaded’.
Another military alliance announced its debut, a duo.
“Hello everyone, I’m Jingjing.”
“Hello everyone, I’m Enen.”
“We are, the Exhausted Resources Combination!”
If we want to find a counterpart for the Exhausted Resources brothers, I think Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing are the most appropriate. Jingjing is Murong Fu, and Enen is Duan Yanqing. Here we have to ignore the fact that they are of opposite ages, although it’s not easy to change it for a while.
“Qiao Feng in the North, Murong in the South”, Murong Fu was originally a top-notch hero. If he was content with the status of a top-notch hero in the Jianghu, made friends and formed good relationships, Gusu Murong would definitely be prosperous and strong. Not only would he himself have beautiful women and be respected by the world, but also those who followed him, such as Deng Baichuan and Bao Tong, could live a good life. But he wanted to take the revival of Yan as his mission, and he was also ambitious but lacked talent, offending everyone in the Jianghu. After a series of failures, such as competing for the position of the leader of the martial arts world and applying for the position of the son-in-law of Xixia, when he formed an alliance with Duan Yanqing, he was already at the end of his rope.
This is equivalent to Putin. If he led Russia to integrate into the world system, pursued a policy of peace, and with Russia’s vast territory and oil and gas resources, as long as he didn’t stir up trouble, it would be difficult not to become a rich and strong country. However, Putin intends to unify the Russian-speaking area of Eurasia, launched wars many times, made himself a public enemy of the world, and also brought Russia into the quagmire.
Duan Yanqing, the leader of the Four Evils, is full of evil, does not associate with people in the Jianghu, and the real Jianghu people are ashamed to have anything to do with him. This is like North Korea, isolated, with strong military power, but does not get respect and has no friends.
So one day, Murong Fu came to him and said he wanted to form an alliance, and also wanted to recognize him as his godfather. Do you think he would be so excited like a 200-jin child?
They look quite complementary, from flirting with swords to dancing with affection.
On the Ukrainian battlefield, Russian weapons are backward and need quantity to make up for it. Russia achieved a balance with a shell quantity advantage of more than 5:1. They use a tactic of ‘glide bombs’, which can launch shells from their homeland to bomb Ukrainian targets, with a range of up to 90 kilometers.
This tactic is good, but it costs a lot of bombs, and the warehouse is about to run out, and because of the supply chain sanctions, production can’t keep up. Without a quantity advantage, Russia will soon be unable to withstand the advanced weapons supported by the West.
Those who have played strategic games or studied the Gulf War and other modern wars all know that once there is a generation gap in weapons, it is a terrifying moment.
North Korea has a huge amount of bombs. They use the money to buy rice to make bombs. These bombs are old and occupy inventory, which is just right for Russia. North Korea also has a large number of people, who also have to eat and consume food, which is also just right for Russia, and they can also earn rubles.
Russia can provide food and military technology. Although Russia’s technology is not very good, it is still more advanced and complete than North Korea’s.
Before the visit, Putin published an article in North Korea’s Rodong Sinmun, saying that Russia and North Korea will develop alternative trade that is not controlled by the West.
At first, I thought for a long time about what alternative trade settlement plans are not controlled by the West, and then I found that I was overthinking it. The alternative trade they want to develop is actually very simple, which is barter.
It’s very environmentally friendly, at most it’s a waste of words. One side says that 1 jin is worth 500 grams in our country, and the other side says that our 1 cubic meter is greater than your 2 cubic meters.
It cannot be said that they are resorting to desperate measures, because they can indeed exchange what they have, but that’s all. This combination is equivalent to a lame man leading a blind man, better than nothing.
The alliance of the two did not bring strength, but clearly showed despair.
When Duan Yanqing and Murong Fu formed an alliance, they each had their own ulterior motives, but they both agreed that it was a good idea and were ready to work together. But at that time, “Tian Long Ba Bu” had reached the forty-eighth chapter, and it was about to end. Murong Fu was about to go crazy, but Duan Yanqing let go and drifted away.
In reality, Duan Yanqing is also in a relatively advantageous position. He can clear out inventory and get food and technology, and if necessary,
He can also not abide by the agreement – the general’s brilliance and martial prowess will be greatly written about.
In the novel, after Murong Fu went crazy, Abi found some children to play the game of emperor with him, which was ridiculous but harmless. However, if the real Murong Fu went crazy, it would be quite terrifying.
May his good friends be able to help him.
