Alaska is located at the northwest end of the North American continent, bordering Canada in the east, and on the other three sides are surrounded by the Arctic Ocean, the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean. This huge territory is not bordered by the United States, and it can be said to be an enclave.

Historically, most enclaves were caused by the colonial era, and their area was very small. However, Alaska is different. Alaska has an area of ​​more than 1.7 million square kilometers, accounting for one fifth of the United States' territory, which covers an area of ​​more than 9 million square kilometers!

Moreover, on the map, because it is close to the Arctic, it looks extremely huge in the world map drawn in multiple conical projections based on various isometric latitude lines. How could the United States have such a large enclave?

And this enclave is the pain of the Soviet Union.

In history, the earliest civilized people who entered the American continent were Western Europeans. They mainly crossed the Atlantic Ocean and entered the east coast of the Americas in the 16th century, including Western Portuguese, the Netherlands, Britain and France. They continued to explore the American continent and headed westward. This journey took hundreds of years.

Another group of Russians who walked through Siberia in the 18th century and crossed the Bering Strait into Alaska.

Finally, the two civilizations met, and after they met, everyone started arguing, and the dates of both sides were separated by one day! The debate lasted for more than a hundred years, and finally, a winding "international date change line" was drawn in the Bering Strait. Those who walked east, one day, and those who walked west, one day, and one day were reduced. God was fair.

Of course, at this time, Alaska had completely belonged to the Russians who crossed the Bering Strait. Due to regional relations, the Russians were born to be very cold-resistant. The severe cold here was normal for them, and those from Britain, France and other countries living in the warm Western Europe did not have this kind of demeanor, and they could not adapt to this severe cold.

However, Alaska is a useless person in the hands of the Russian Tsar.

After all, Alaska is too cold, and no one knows what is under this frozen soil, and Russia does not have the ability to develop it. Moreover, Alaska is right next to Canada, a British colony. The backward Tsarist Russia was just beaten by Britain and France in the Crimean War and ceded the territory to seek peace.

Even the old Tsar Nicholas I was burping, and the newly ascended Alexander II was also a soft boy. He looked at Alaska and felt uncomfortable. If there was another conflict with Britain and France, if he attacked from Alaska, he would be able to reach Siberia!

No, this problem must be solved! Sell it to countries that are not in harmony with Britain and France, and rely on other countries to block the threat from Britain and France to the local area!

In later generations, if a real estate developer came, he would definitely come to buy it happily, but at that time, the Tsar shouted for a few years, but no one dared to buy it.

First of all, those who want to buy this land must be a strong country. These powerful countries are not interested in this land at all. This is just a piece of frozen soil. What is the purpose of? Is it a natural refrigerator?

At the same time, after Russia's rise, it has been eating other people's territory and other borders, and is also doubting that Tsarist Russia is really selling it? Or do you want to fish?

As a result, after waiting for a few years, I finally waited for a country, the United States!

At that time, the United States was not wearing a pair of pants with Britain and France. The filthiness between the two sides was the most intense time.

In 1861, the Civil War broke out in the United States. This kind of American civil war was unprecedented in a century. No, it can be said that it was the only time in the entire United States. At that time, the Western European powers who were disliked by the United States also took the opportunity to dismember the United States.

After all, the Americans were liberated from the colonial war and of course they were not in love with the West. President Lincoln at that time asked Tsarist Russia for help. After all, Tsarist Russia also had a grudge against these great powers. As a result, Tsarist Russia indeed sent a fleet into the port of New York to restrain other great powers.

During the entire war, the Tsarist Russian fleet did not launch a single shot, but it took half of the earth to come, and a huge amount of military expenditure was also required. At that time, Tsarist Russia came with friendship and did not ask the Americans for money.

At that time, US Secretary of State William Henry Siward decided to bring closer relations with the Russians, so he called Tsarist Russia a year but no one bought it, and bought it for $7.2 million.

Now, $7.2 million is not too much money, but at that time, it was an astronomical transaction!

The result was that the Russians happily sold Alaska to the United States. Siward was scolded in China and the stupid Siward bought an oversized refrigerator for $7.2 million!

At that time, Siwald resisted the scolding, and history also proved his foresight.

Just a few decades later, Alas discovered a wealth of minerals, including gold mines, and oil. The special geographical location made it a transit station for air routes between the Pacific. For example, flying from the United States to Tokyo is not a direct flight, but first heading north to Alaska and then to Tokyo. This will save the route even more because the latitude coil on it is shorter!

At the same time, what made the Soviet Union even more depressed was that after World War II, as Alaska entered the Cold War state, its superior geographical location became the launching site of the United States' intercontinental missiles, and from here it could directly attack the Soviet Union!

Just like when the Soviet Union wanted to deploy ballistic missiles in Cuba, the United States opposed it with all its might. It deployed nuclear bombs on other people's borders, which is the most deterrent.

At the same time, if the Soviet Union regained the land here, it would be a huge threat to the United States!

You should know that the southern part of Alaska is Canada, which is also a developed capitalist country. However, the Canadian army has no combat effectiveness. If the Soviet army wants to borrow, then Canada may have to dodge a passage and let the Soviet army pass!

At that time, the Soviet army will be able to directly pounce on the United States! The main battlefield of the war will be in the United States!

Alaska, an originally unknown state, has suddenly become the focus of attention around the world, and even surpasses Arkansas in the south!

On the Soviet side, it did not declare war on the United States. After the United States decided to declare war on the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union just turned over old accounts: At that time, Alaska was sold by the idiot Alexander II, and our Soviet Union has decided not to sell it now!

Didn’t we sell it for $7.2 million at the beginning? Now, we buy it for $7.2 million!

The arrival of this news almost made the White House senior officials so angry that they vomited blood. Damn, how many times have the prices increased over the years? At this time, the 7.2 million US dollars at this time, it would be only a F22 at most!

The deadline given by the Soviet Union is one day! If the United States does not agree, the Soviet Union will use its own way to seize Alaska!

Now the manipulation of the US government is just a group of businessmen. Do you know how to fight?
