"Of course it does," Chen Geng said, "Last year, India bought a British Athletic Gods-class light aircraft carrier from Australia for £50 million, you know?"

"Uh...... I've heard of it," Nikolai Malenkov nodded, but his face was more disapproving: "This is an old aircraft carrier produced more than 30 years ago, and those idiots in India actually spent 50 million pounds to buy such a rotten thing that is about to rust out, and the subsequent renovation and maintenance will at least be ......."

"That's the problem," Chen Geng interrupted Nikolai Malenkov with a sigh: "Those idiots in India would rather spend a high price of 50 million pounds on an old broken ship that is about to be embroidered, and then spend at least 20 million pounds to renovate, transform and modernize the aircraft carrier, and then spend a lot of money to purchase 12 'Sea Harrier' carrier-based aircraft, carrier-based helicopters and other various ship-based weapons systems from the British, which will cost at least 150 million pounds......

"That's at least 150 million pounds," Chen Geng looked at Nikolai Malenkov's expression as if he was looking at a fool: "You haven't thought about a problem: if you use Moskva-class aircraft carriers...... Well, the Moscow class is a little smaller, or the Kiev class...... If you build a light aircraft carrier similar to the Virat, with a straight slip deck, based on the hull of the Kyiv-class aircraft carrier, and sell it to the Indians for £70 million, will you sell it?

“......”

Nikolai Malenkov was stunned, he blinked: can you still play like this? but...... £70 million.

After a moment's hesitation, Nikolai Malenkov honestly said: "Kiev-level words...... £70 million is a bit of a difference, but on a Moscow-class basis, it shouldn't be much of a problem. ”

Chen Gengxin said you just blow it, that Moscow-level thing, hehe......

However, he waved his hand and said: "Then based on the Moskva-class, build a type of aircraft carrier with a blocking cable and glide jump take-off, and then equip him with 18 or 24 carrier-based trainers/fighters, carrier-based early warning helicopters, carrier-based helicopters, and then match them with the corresponding weapon systems, and then tell the group of fools in India that this is the latest generation of light combat attack aircraft carriers of the Soviet Union, with a package price of 200 million pounds, do you say India will buy it?"

"This ...... I think I'll buy it......"

Nikolai Malenkov is not very sure: the full load displacement of the Moskva-class aircraft carrier is about 15,000 tons, while the full load displacement of the Athletic God class aircraft carrier is almost 25,000 tons, a difference of 10,000 tons, but if the Moskva-class hull is enlarged a little, it should not be a problem to achieve 20,000 tons......

"Yes, I will definitely buy it!" Chen Geng waved his hand vigorously and said categorically: "Don't forget that India's fools are willing to spend 50 million pounds to buy an old broken ship with more than 30 years of age, and this is a new ship of yours!"

Besides, do you think if we really make a training aircraft that can be used at supersonic speeds, will we be able to beat the stupid gannet-like 'Sea Harrier' carrier-based aircraft of the British?

Based on the fuselage of Moscow and with this latest trainer aircraft as the carrier-based class, is the overall combat capability much stronger than the Indians' Virat aircraft carrier?

In that case, do you think the idiots in India are willing to draw £200 million or more?"

Nikolai Malenkov scratched his head: "It seems like this......"

"But...... That ......" Yuri Kravchenko muttered: "Our carrier-based trainers can't beat the American F-14 and F-18......"

"You can't beat the F-14 and F-18? Do you still want to say that not only can you beat the F-14 and F18, but you can't beat your Soviet carrier-based version of the MiG-29 and Su-27? But you can use your brains," Chen Geng was completely convinced, and said with a look of hatred: "Which of those who bought such a small aircraft carrier and a light carrier-based fighter with average combat effectiveness intend to become a global hegemon like the United States and the Soviet Union? What people seek is regional hegemony and fight a war with the United States and the Soviet Union?" Do you think they've been kicked in the head by a donkey?

Since they do not intend to fight a war with the naval aviation of the United States and the Soviet Union, A@V will they care about the F-14 and F-18 of the Americans, the MiG-29 and the Su-27 of the Soviet Union? ”

That's right!

Nikolai Malenkov and Yuri Kravchenko reacted at once: those countries that bought such small aircraft carriers had no intention of fighting the United States and the Soviet Union at all, they only sought regional hegemony, and since they were seeking regional hegemony, this kind of carrier-based aircraft formation with the latest Soviet carrier-based trainers/fighters as the main force was enough for them to use - even the Super Military Flag and Sea Harrier could meet their requirements, could it be that the Soviet Union's more advanced light carrier-based trainers/fighters could not meet their requirements?

Nikolai Malenkov is very confident in the latest Soviet trainer aircraft, taking the Yak-130 of the Yakovlev Design Bureau as an example, as a trainer aircraft, the Yak-130 has good short take-off and landing characteristics, and the shortest take-off distance on land is only 340 meters. After optimizing the aerodynamic shape, the take-off distance on land can be about 280 meters, and taking into account the windward speed of the aircraft carrier and the addition of the sliding deck, in the case of typical weapon loading (4 R27 medium-range bombs, or 4 of the latest R77 medium-range missiles under development, plus 2 state-of-the-art R73 close-range combat missiles, plus cannon shells, the weight of the weapon is about 1300 kg), the light-load take-off point of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier can completely fly.

With such performance and such a weapon configuration, can't it still do the French super military flag and the British Sea Harrier?

!

Nikolai Malenkov even drew inferences: if an aircraft carrier and the corresponding carrier-based aircraft can be sold, then it means that the Soviet Union can take the opportunity to sell a small aircraft carrier fleet composed of aircraft carriers, frigates, and submarines, of course, there will be no shortage of matching carrier-based aircraft, which is a lot of money!

After that, follow-up maintenance parts need to be purchased every year and even overhauls once every few years......

This follow-up is all money!

Thinking of this, Nikolai Malenkov suddenly sighed: "Mr. Fernandez, we in Britain have known each other for a few years, but unfortunately, it is too late now, and the Indians have already bought an aircraft carrier......"

He really smothered it: if he had known Fernandez Chen two or three years earlier and had gotten his guidance earlier, perhaps India would have bought not the broken ships of the Australians, but the Soviet aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, which would be a big deal of at least 250 million pounds!

And as the person who made this business possible, his future can also be imagined, but unfortunately, it is too late to say anything now......

In the face of such an opportunity, do you say that Nikolai Malenkov regrets it?

"It's really a pity," Chen Geng nodded: "But it's actually nothing, the key to the problem is that if there is such an opportunity in the future, can the Soviet Union grasp it?"

Well?

Nikolai Malenkov was stunned for a moment, then raised his head suddenly, looked at Chen Geng in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Fernandez, you mean...... Say...... Huaxia?"

Could it be that after seeing that its old rival India has its own aircraft carrier, Huaxia is also ready to develop its own aircraft carrier?

Also, in recent years, China has developed well, although at first glance it sounds a little incredible, but if you think about it carefully, it is not incomprehensible, since they even sold the Su-27, it is not incomprehensible to buy a light aircraft carrier, and then think about it deeply, the Chinese want to cooperate with the Soviet Union to develop this advanced training aircraft, is there such a consideration?

Well...... Quite possibly!

The more he thought about it, the more Nikolai Malenkov felt that his guess was reliable: Huaxia definitely wanted to develop its own maritime combat forces, but although the level of their aviation industry was okay, the ability to build ships, especially large warships, was really not worth mentioning.

In this way, Huaxia's choice to cooperate with the Soviet Union in the development of advanced training aircraft and at the same time to purchase light aircraft carriers from the Soviet Union can be understood: even if it is a light aircraft carrier, the Huaxia people cannot build it.

Well, that's it!

Where is this crooked?

Although he didn't know that Nikolai Malenkov's heart was crooked, Chen Geng still couldn't cry or laugh: "Nikolai, you misunderstood, I'm not talking about Huaxia." ”

"Huh, not Huaxia?"
