Shi Lei could not decide, so he reported to the upper hand, and even collected some intelligence. Soon, Stalin's fundraising among 12 Russian cities entered the vision of the Intelligence Agency. Although the specific numbers could not be very accurate, it was roughly more than 200 million. This made Shi Lei fully understand Stalin's purpose. It turned out that he had to take this matter as a common thing. No wonder he had to obtain China's consent. Only by obtaining China's consent can this matter be continued forever. Otherwise, even if the Bolsheviks were stationed in China, it would be this time this year.

In Shi Lei's view, Russia was taking money from China in a different way. He previously assigned nearly 10 million Russian people to Stalin, but he disagreed. It was obvious that China used money to support Stalin. If it weren't for Stalin, the money would not have to be paid. Later, it was established and enjoyed the right to independence. Stalin and the Bolsheviks began to accumulate huge power. Although this was not given directly, it was inseparable from China's support. Now, when they were leaving, they plundered another 240 million in 12 cities. This was not enough. They also wanted to target other people. As expected, if they took 500 million away, wouldn't it mean that Russia took more than one billion US dollars from China? China paid too much to weaken Russia.

Shi Lei thought this way, but Yang Yuanzhao didn't think so. As the controller of China, he knew deeply that money had no specific meaning for a country. If there was, it was currency integrity and the intelligence of currency circulation. In the paper currency society, especially in China, where there was no silver standard or gold standard, money was just a print product, which determined more about its demand. Not to mention Stalin taking away 500 million, 1 billion, or even 10 billion, it was not much. As long as the labor force existed and constantly created value, this money was nothing.

China's current situation will not be in vain to support the Russian revolution and spend more money, which will cause turmoil in the whole of China. After all, the people are not far away. They don't know why China supports Russia so much money. It is obviously a foreign country and has no alliance with China. Any support requires a reason. Just like Germany, the support for it is mainly to purchase oil and labor imports. The former has a great effect on China's oil security, while the latter can simply create value for China. Since 1913, China's industrial output value has been growing continuously, and it has rationally utilized this million people, which not only increased China's population, but also greatly increased China's industrial output value. In this way, China will not suffer much loss after supporting Germany. This is the method. Until now, under the circumstances of propaganda and actual results, few people have raised objections to decisive trade.

The Bolsheviks were quite weak, and China could not support Stalin by using labor export to support people who had joined Chinese nationality. Stalin was also very clear about this. China hoped that Stalin would continue to collect population from Russia, with 10 million or even 20 million, which was enough to support Stalin's continuous combat. On the one hand, this weakened Russia, and on the other hand, it also allowed Russia's chaos to continue.

Obviously Stalin was a smart person. He avoided this very well, but focused on other aspects. Since China would not give it to the public, it should be directed towards the people themselves. As long as the publicity is done properly, sometimes the money received from the people will be more than labor exports.

China adopts a high-paying method to cultivate a huge market, which is also the fundamental reason why China's market is becoming increasingly large. Under the premise of continuous growth in productivity, the Chinese market can also accommodate it. This is very rare for the war era and tend toward the direction of war. Even at the beginning, when Germany received prisoners of war, the salary given was very high, more than 10 times the annual labor output. Of course, China can also afford it. These prisoners of war will create higher value for China.

Especially when prisoners of war gradually learned and improved their professional standards, they seemed to have made more money when they were just physical labor, but in fact, they created more wealth for China. Because they had money and the cost of all aspects of China was low, these people had some money on hand. Some wealthy people bought houses or even bought home appliances, and they also saved some money.

The money in the hands of the people and prisoners has always been the focus of China's research. It is useless to be placed in banks or spent. It is precisely because of this perspective that in Yang Yuanzhao's view, Stalin has the ability to raise funds for this money, regardless of what method he uses, which is beneficial to China. To some extent, this is a copy of the German approach, which gives China reason to support them without paying too much.

In Shi Lei's view, raising funds is like robbing money. In Yang Yuanzhao's view, it's nothing. If you talk about it, you don't have to pay too much attention. To a certain extent, the money will still be spent. Stalin's purpose is to seize the Russian regime. Whether it is stabilized in Kazakhstan, have a relatively basic logistics base, or buy more arms from China to ensure the sustainability of firepower, China needs to be used. Without other channels, or if it is rooted in Kazakhstan, this money can only be used in China.

In this case, there is not much difference between spending out of the Russian people and Stalin. It should be said that there is still a difference. Senior officials such as Yang Yuanzhao are more inclined to spending out of Stalin. Most of the ordinary people spend on basic consumer products, such as meat, eggs, fish, etc., to improve their taste of life and increase nutrition. These are not high due to the central control, and the profit margin is also maintained at a low level, because the nutrition of the entire nation cannot be too expensive. Only a small part, even in the sea and breeding, is relatively rare, so that prices will be artificially increased.

On the contrary, Stalin, they purchased either arms or some industrial machines. These have high profit margins in industrial production, especially arms and some basic industrial machines. In China, they have completed industrialization, especially the application of various new machine tools. The cost of producing these materials is quite low. Industrial products are just like arms, and they are the products of huge profits.

Using these profitable support to exchange for part of the Bolsheviks' favor. Although the favor between countries cannot play a big role to a certain extent, the favorable feeling can still be done without conflicts of interest. This means that the support for Russia can be completed at a very small price, and also promotes the output of military industry and some basic industries, which is equivalent to obtaining an order.

Yang Yuanzhao was also very clear that this would be great enough for Russia to strengthen. The entire China has about 50 million Russians. Even in China, it is a huge number. If each person begs for an average of 20 yuan, it would be 1 billion. This is still a long-term job. Although it is not as good as that, and you can get more directly from workers, the base is large enough, and the benefits are also quite good. Stalin actually came up with a solution from this aspect. Although it would be huge every year, under the current state, Stalin and others did not spend money. In this sense, they could only rely on China.

Stalin's small actions are considered innocuous. In China, as long as the macro level is similar, the rest is not very important. If you tilt a little in the distribution field, you can smooth out the gap. China's industrial production capacity is so huge that it exceeds that of countries around the world except China, which is also the fundamental reason for China's rapid development.

On the premise of passing Stalin's application, Yang Yuanzhao made a little restriction, that is, the propaganda in other places was not allowed to be carried out. The distribution of these Russian people in China was quite scattered, with 50 million being one-nineth of China's original population. Such a huge population number is already higher than that of several mainstream ethnic groups in China. Dispersion is certain. In principle, no settlement area is built. If Stalin wants to inform him in place, he must go deep into every land. This is not in line with China's interests. It really allows the Bolsheviks to understand the location of each Russian, and treat it differently and develop it, it is equivalent to differentiating China's power and creating unstable factors.

Fundraising is OK, go deep into all parts of China to understand Russia. China will help the Bolsheviks to do publicity work. The dispatched personnel can only enter major provincial capital cities. One provincial capital cannot exceed 30 people. Such conditions are a bit harsh and it makes Stalin a little difficult to accept, but China will continue to carry out its own actions, which makes Stalin a little helpless. Just when he thought that this was China unwilling to help him raise funds and wanted to continue to reduce his share of entering various provincial capitals, the first donation was in place. It was the Baotou Special Zone, with a total of 78 million US dollars, which is nearly 100 million. Although the Baotou Special Zone is the most economically developed and largest district in China, there should not be many Russians in this district.

The entire Chinese want to enter the Baotou Special Zone, which is the best and most developed region in China. Although Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing are developing very strongly, it is very different from here. Not only is it economically developed, with high technology, and a reasonable layout. It is the most livable city in China. This special zone has 78 million, almost one-third of the previous 12 cities. Perhaps China really refused to directly promote and raise funds for some reason, but in fact, it attaches great importance to this matter. (To be continued.)
