There have also been some changes in the relationship between China and Russia. Russia and China feel the importance of the other side in an anti-US stance. If they want to fight against the increasingly powerful United States, only China and Russia can join forces to get out. Therefore, the relationship between China and Russia has improved rapidly and border trade transactions have increased greatly. So a while ago, there were rumors that Chinese businessmen purchased Russia's Su-27 fighter jets, and Russia did not publicly refute this matter, which made the media suspicious and unclear what level of strategic cooperation between China and Russia has reached.

"In fact, the cooperation between China and Russia is far from as close as outsiders imagined." Jiang Feng said, "Because Putin is unfathomable and has no traces, the senior management is a little confused about him. Therefore, although the contact between the two sides has gradually increased, they have not achieved strategic cooperation and mutual trust on some major issues."

"What does the master think of him?" Jiang Lingyu asked.

"I can't see through him, but this person is a pragmatist. As long as the cooperation between us is effective and conducive to the development of Russia, he will not be able to object." Jiang Feng replied, "So, this time he invited me to Moscow, I think I should go and see it, and there are also some opportunities for cooperation."

"What useful things can he get from you?" Jiang Lingyu was a little confused about this.

In fact, Russia is relatively strong in terms of technical capabilities and resources. Even though the country's economy collapsed due to the Soviet Union's military militancy, now after shock therapy, there have been signs of recovery. It is believed that in a few years, Russia will become another huge empire spanning the Eurasian continent.

Therefore, Jiang Lingyu felt that Jiang Feng could not play any important role in Russia, or he discussed with the Russians that he would exploit oil and natural gas resources in Siberia. But now, Russia's local oil wealthy people have developed, so naturally they would not agree that Jiang Feng's crossing dragon plunders strategic resources in Russia for profit. This is the same as Jiang Feng's principle of controlling the rare earth industry in China.

"In fact, Russia's most concerned issue is the issue of the four northern islands. In recent years, Putin has shown a tough attitude in the territorial dispute between Japan and Russia, which has deteriorated the relationship between Japan and Russia. This is not in line with the current development of Russia. Last year, Putin tried to regress on the issue of the four northern islands, but it turned out that this was not possible. Putin also encountered the first trust crisis since he took office. He definitely did not dare to make a second mistake on the issue of territorial ownership. So, now he probably hopes to use some more private channels to alleviate the deterioration of Russia's relations with Japan due to the four northern islands." Jiang Feng replied after considering it.

"The master has the ability to deteriorate the relations between Russia and Japan?" Jiang Lingyu asked back in surprise.

"No." Jiang Feng replied straightforwardly, and then he said, "But I have a way to make Japan's political situation worse."

Japan is not a good neighbor in nature. To the west, it has a territorial dispute with South Korea on the Zhu Island (Duku Island); to the south, it also wants to take China's Diaoyu Islands as its own; and to the north, the four northern islands that are included in the Russian territory (the Soviets called it the Southern Kuril Islands) made them unable to let go.

Of course, it is difficult to spit out the meat that enters Russia's mouth. For Japan, only the endless Pacific Ocean to the east is peaceful, because there is only the ocean and there will be no territorial disputes.

However, compared with Japan's unreasonable and unreasonable relationship on the Diaoyu Islands issue, its experience on the four northern islands can only be described as deep suffering and revenge.

After Japan surrendered in 1945, with the consent of the United States, Britain and other countries, the Soviet army occupied the four northern islands. Since then, the Japanese residents there were forced to move away. Therefore, every year, many Japanese who traveled far away from home return to their hometowns and express their condolences in front of the ancestral graves.

In the international community after World War II, because the Japanese government has always been following the United States, the Soviet Union naturally looked at it coldly. Although both sides are working hard to improve relations, it is very bizarre that these two major powers have been negotiating for more than 50 years, but have not yet signed a peace treaty. Among them, the main obstacle is that both sides are unwilling to give up ownership of the four northern islands.

From the perspective of strategic space, if the four northern islands are given to the Japanese devils, then Russia's only unfreezing port in the Far East will be under the surveillance of the United States and Japan, and Russia's nuclear strategic space will be suppressed.

On the contrary, the four northern islands of Zhiguo have been occupied by Russia, so Japan must be ready to deal with threats from the north at any time. With the restraint of China and South Korea, Japan's geostrategy will be in a very unfavorable position. Moreover, since the sea cucumber will not be too threatened, the deterrence of Russian strategic missile nuclear submarines on the United States has also been strengthened.

Under such conditions, Putin obviously could not agree to return the four northern islands.

"In fact, when did the food be spit out when I entered the belly of a polar bear?" Jiang Feng said to Jiang Lingyu. At that time, Lenin also expressed his intention to return the territory that had occupied China. When he arrived at Stalin, he immediately turned against him and wiped out all the evidence of what Lenin said. This was the way he was to the so-called friends and comrades at that time. As for Japan, who had two experiences in the Russo-Japanese War, would they be so generous? It was impossible!"

When the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia, as the successor of the superpower, inherited the four northern islands, a strategic location leading to the Pacific Ocean. Of course, there is also the Japanese chiefs who are obsessed with these four islands.

Over the years, Russia has been experiencing a sudden rain. Not only has its military strength gradually weakened, but its economic development is also unsatisfactory. In the urgent need of foreign investment, Russia has been seeking to improve its relationship with Japan, an old neighbor and rich man. Therefore, for the sake of developing the eastern economy, Russia reluctantly gave up this year. First, the Foreign Minister announced that it might consider whether the feasibility of returning the four northern islands exists. Then Putin said that Japan-Russia relations should be strengthened and developed together.

Japan's reaction was beyond Russia's expectations. The first thing they mentioned was not cooperation, but to see that the four northern islands did return to Japan. It can be said that they were typical of not seeing rabbits and not showing off their eagles. But how could Russia spit out the flesh in its mouth? Putin was nothing more than playing with political means. Once it was involved in territorial issues, no one dared to make mistakes.

"Putin still has an idea, just drag the word, but the Japanese are not stupid. If you don't give me the four northern islands, I won't cooperate with you. This is their position." Jiang Feng said, "But now Putin has seen another solution, which is to improve Russia's economy by strengthening exchanges with Chinese private capital. At least in this way, there is no need to consider Japan's economic aid for the time being. So, he still likes my money."

As long as you have money, you can go to the world. As long as you are not in the mainstream area of ​​cannibalism, brother Kong Fang is all common.

...

Now Japan's political situation is at the end of Koizumi's cabinet. Jiang Feng remembers that this Japanese prime minister, who is hated by countless Chinese people, will step down in September next year.

Since 1992, Japan has entered a "difficult period". At this time, Japan itself experienced an economic crisis. The average annual GDP growth rate from 1992 to 1998 was only 1, of which there were even negative growth in 1997 and 1998 (-2.5 in 1998 and -0.5 in 2001).

As the Japanese economy entered a "difficult period", the Japanese cabinet continued to change like a revolving lantern, and nine prime ministers were replaced in ten years, and no one could save the decline of the Japanese economy. It was not until February 2002 that the cabinet of Junichiro Koizumi came to power and implemented a series of new reforms to get the Japanese economy out of the predicament and enter a period of recovery and comprehensive transformation. When Junichiro Koizumi came to power, Japan's national economic growth rate was -3.3. After he came to power, it turned into 1.6. Junichiro Koizumi steadily occupied the Japanese political arena for five and a half years, ending the fate of the "short-distance" of the Japanese cabinet, and becoming the longest-time prime minister in 20 years.

However, since Junichiro Koizumi resigned, Japan has fallen into a short-lived circle of cabinet life. Since Shinzo Abe came to power in September 2006, Japan has changed six prime ministers in five years. Except for the fifth Prime Minister Naoto Kan, the four previous four terms have not been more than one year. As for how long the sixth Kayoshi Noda was, Jiang Feng was not sure, because before Kayoshi Noda was reborn. In fact, Kayoshi Noda was not a long-lived prime minister. His fate was similar to Naoto Kan. He only served as Prime Minister for one year and three months, and then Sayanlala.

When Jiang Feng lamented that the Japanese politics was as busy as a lantern, he also saw a deep-seated problem, that is, Japan's political and economic power is actually in the hands of those big chaebols. If the so-called prime ministers want to do things, they must first obtain the consent of the big chaebols in order to continue, otherwise they will definitely achieve nothing.

There are historical reasons why the Japanese cabinet is so weak.

First of all, there are issues in institutional design. Although Japan has a democratic system, there are some problems in this institutional design. For example, the Prime Minister’s power is relatively not very large. The Japanese Prime Minister is actually the chief of the cabinet and a convener, and the power given to him is very small.

Secondly, the party system also has problems. Japan's party system also has some problems. For example, the leaders of most parties want to be prime ministers, but the party itself will have to be elected at a certain time. As long as the leader within the party changes, the prime minister will also change, so the prime minister will serve very shortly.

Again, it is Japan's political and cultural factors. Due to international political factors, Japan has to succumb to the occupation of its own United States, allowing the Japanese Prime Minister to bear huge psychological pressure when facing the people. The Prime Minister does not have enough rights to restrict him. Only those who are relatively strong in politics can eliminate the pressure, and those who are not strong enough can only choose to step down. (To be continued.
