Dzierżyński proposed a lot of demands, and in summary, it was one sentence - provide all possible technical support to transform the Ros United Duchy from a gradually lagging agricultural country to an advanced industrial country.
Would the Elves, derogatorily called "rabbits," send various experts, open their technology without reservations, and help the big bear become an industrial country? This joke was a bit cold.
Mr. Dzierżyński was very outstanding and had good abilities, but his expertise was not in the field of technology. He couldn't understand technical issues related to politics and strategy. Of course, this was his limitation, and he didn't know the history - the history of another world - and wasn't clear about how challenging the cooperation he proposed would be. If he wanted to add "leading the world" to the task, it would become even more challenging.
