In September, the three countries conducted joint military exercises in the southeastern waters of Jiangsu under the code name "Freedom Butt".Nearly at the same time, Kim Jong-un personally took up the line in response to this situation and commanded the actions of several military units, this move was rapid and intense.

With the treaty between the DPRK and Russia, the security guarantees for the North Korean side, this change is understandable.

South Korea's research report revealed that North Korea is renewing its contracts with Russia and has made positive improvements in its economic relations with China.¡£That year, North Korea opened tourism in the Roxian area to China and restarted the construction of the Yalu River Bridge.

Shortly after the treaty was signed, North Korean soldiers flew to Ukraine. According to statistics, more than ten thousand North Korean military personnel traveled to Ukraine. In April, Russia announced that it had basically recovered the Kursk region, and specifically pointed out that North Korean troops played an important role in this.

At the beginning, the outside world generally felt that North Korea's purpose was to exchange Russia's energy, food and other resources. However, the facts later proved that Kim Jong Un's move brought far more returns than we imagined. Under such circumstances, North Korea gained more for the country's development. Strategy and turnaround rather than just material help.

The economic gains were immediately apparent. North Korea has been affected by international sanctions for a long time, and in 2023, the trade deficit will be as high as US $2.1 billion. Domestic oil and food supplies have been tight.

After sending troops, Russia paid directly in cash and provided a large amount of material assistance. Western media estimate that North Korea has made a profit of about $5.5 billion by selling military equipment to Russia.

The number of Russian tankers stopping in North Korean ports has far exceeded the number restricted by the United Nations.The crude oil carried directly into North Korea¡¯s refineries to a certain extent eased the pressure on North Korea¡¯s domestic energy supply.In addition, Russia also supplied some essential commodities such as wheat to fill North Korea¡¯s gap in people¡¯s livelihoods.

The New York Times analyzed that the total value of materials obtained by North Korea in it is as high as billions of dollars.

The North Korean army has always sought some technological breakthroughs. Especially in the field of drones and electronics.And by cooperating with Russia in this respect, North Korea has the opportunity to access their advanced equipment.

According to some reports, Russia intends to share nuclear submarine technology with North Korea, and may even provide some military equipment such as Soviet-style fighters, so it appears that North Korea gains more in the military field.

When Kim inspected the Academy of Defense Sciences, he especially praised the newly developed infrared interference system at the time. In this way, the North Korean soldiers who fought in Russia benefited considerably., not only learned the experience of modern writers, especially drone tactics, but also helped to reform the North Korean army and enhance its military strength.

Surprisingly, this cooperation also brought a diplomatic breakthrough for North Korea. In September, a deputy ministerial official from North Korea appeared at the United Nations General Assembly. This is the first time in seven years that a senior North Korean official has stepped onto this international stage. He made fierce remarks on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, demonstrating North Korea's desire to return to the international community.

North Korea¡¯s reaction to the U.S. and Japanese military exercises has also become harder than ever.In September, the United States and South Korea held joint military exercises. The North Korean response was very rapid and intense, and Kim personally directed the actions of several military units. Behind this change is the security guarantee provided by the treaty between Russia and North Korea.

According to a South Korean study report, North Korea is seeking cooperation with Russia. It mainly focuses on the security field and simultaneously restores economic and trade exchanges with China. This is the so-called Anglo-Russia Economy-China Strategy.

This year, North Korea opened up areas such as Luo Xian to China. and restarted the construction of the Yalu River Bridge. Such a two-pronged strategy has given North Korea more useful diplomatic space.

On October 4, Kim Jong-un delivered a speech at Pyongyang's weapons exhibition. He directly warned the United States that if the United States ignored regional security, North Korea will take "military-technical measures¡±¡£ This tough statement shows North Korea's unprecedented self-confidence.

For this reason, the North Koreans have also paid a heavy price. According to South Korean reports, as of January, the number of North Korean army casualties has exceeded thousands, and two soldiers have been captured by Ukrainian troops.

For this reason, Kim Jong-un expressed his sorrow, but the second batch of troops sent to Ukraine in September was still apparent, In which the actual benefits and disadvantages of the relationship have been greater than the losses of combatants.

Looking back at the whole process, the initial decision was merely to consolidate the alliance between the two sides. But the result brought three surprises: economic trouble was eased, military technology jumped, and the diplomatic impasse broken. North Korea paid a price on the battlefield in exchange for a comprehensive boost in national strength.

Russia and North Korea have achieved a win-win situation¡£North Korea received emergency material and technical support, while Russia received military assistance worth more than $9.7 billion. Moreover, with the support of Russia, North Korea's missile and other experiments were assisted and carried out frequently, thus changing the strategic pattern of Northeast Asia and forming an anti-Western strategic axis.

Perhaps, When Kim signed this treaty, he just wanted to grab a lifeline straw¡£But in the end, what he got was the east wind that pushed North Korea forward. This dangerous move has become the most unexpected geopolitical variable in recent years.
