The An-124 is so huge, this flight takes nearly three hours, and Charlize Theron sat a little annoyed, pulling Zhang Nan back and forth, up and down, in a circle in the plane.

This is the second largest freighter in the world, not a passenger plane, and it is difficult for passengers to see what is going on outside the plane, and if they don't get used to it, they will quickly get upset, and Charlie is obviously one of them.

Zhang Nan also hates this situation of being in a closed environment for a long time, and although the noise of this An-124 is not very loud, it seems that he is not comfortable taking a military transport plane for the second time in his life.

The point is: this is made in the USSR!

Soviet-style, durable leather, and basic comfort.

It's good to walk around, anyway, this plane is so big that you can play badminton in the cargo hold, and you won't get in the way when you stroll.

The cargo hold is not empty, there are high-end cars fixed on the floor, and there are many high-end Western goods packed on the aviation loading and unloading tray, and the girl even pulled Zhang Nan into a Porsche 911...

Just wanting to have a comfortable seat to sit for a while, Charlie was a little curious about the goods in the cabin: according to this, these goods do not need to be transported by giant transport planes, and it is almost the same if they are transported by sea or rail, which is much cheaper.

To this, Zhang Nan told her a very incredible answer - these are smuggled cars!

"Smuggling cars, brother, do we need to engage in smuggling?"

Charlize Theron was puzzled.

"I've been doing it for two years, and I've been smuggling in and out. Ninety percent of the arms and industrial equipment that came in were smuggled goods, and more than seven percent of the goods that were brought in were smuggling.

The country is torn apart, everything is messy, there is smuggling everywhere.

Like Ukraine, there are many people who have become almost destitute now, but there are also many nouveau riche, and materials are scarce, and smuggling has become commonplace.

Those who have money are starting to pursue Western things, and it is obviously not enough to rely on formal channels to import them, and smuggled goods are very good.

It's a pity that this transport plane is empty one way, and these things can still be used to offset the cost by the way, and the airline can't rely on me to pay for it, it has to run benignly..."

Zhang Nan said it as a matter of course, "... These luxury cars are in high demand in Ukraine, and some things are not sold here, including many cars that are gifts from companies and are just tools.

In today's Ukraine, those nouveau riche often can't buy what they like even if they have money, and giving a good car for $50,000 is basically better than sending $100,000 in cash.

Face, a good car is face, famous watches, perfumes, imported high-end chocolates are face, anyway, people who can drive these cars go to the license plate is very simple...

However, with my 50,000 benefits, I have to earn at least ten times the benefits back.

Your brother and I are not good people, I am more polite over there than Da Mao, and the emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

I think this Ermao will be a bucket who can't be supported in the future, and if there is a chance to take advantage of it, I will never be polite..."

This is a dark social reality, where companies do things, and there is no shortage of cash, fists, and gifts, which can be invincible.

Charlie is not stupid, she understands when she hears it, and she is not stupid to ask "The Ukrainian government doesn't care?" Such a problem: the place where the plane landed was a military airport, and the army was involved, and it was a hairy thing!

Up and down, this is a country that is rotting quickly.

......

After visiting the cockpit with a curious Charlie, Zhang Nan explained to the captain: "Notify in advance when you can see the shipyard, I want to see the big factory from the air." ”

The captain in his 40s immediately said, "Yes, sir." ”

The An-124 is a freighter, with only 6 small round portholes on both sides of the upper rear cockpit, four of which are still near the front and rear emergency exits, and passengers can hardly see the outside.

More than an hour later, Zhang Nan and Charlie stood behind the main and co-pilot, leaning on the seats of random engineers and navigators on both sides, looking down at the city below through the front windshield.

Nikolaev, at the confluence of the mouth of the South Bug River and the Ingul River in southern Ukraine, the city has two airports, the small one is dual-use, and the large one, that is, the air base where Zhang Nan's An-124 will arrive is on the east side of the city, which is a large purely military airport.

The plane was going to land there, just in time to go around in circles and fly over the famous Nikolaev shipyard.

The Nikolaev Shipyard, also known as the Black Sea Shipyard, is the fifth largest shipyard in the Soviet Union and the only aircraft carrier assembly plant, with a large scale and an area of more than 2 million square meters!

With a long history, the factory has produced more than 1,000 ships of various types, including heavy aircraft carriers, in the past 100 years!

Several aircraft carriers of the Soviet era - "Moskva", "Leningrad", "Kiev", "Minsk", "Novorossiysk", "Gorshkov", "Kuznetsov" were all built at this shipyard.

Many people think that the Black Sea shipyard is on the shore of the Black Sea, and there are many people who have always thought that it is on the Crimean Peninsula, and even that it is in Sevastopol, but in fact it is still more than 70 kilometers from the sea, and it is not in the Crimea!

Some people say that one of the reasons why the Soviet Union chose this place for the production and assembly of aircraft carriers is that there are many Mrs. Nikolae in power in the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry of the USSR and other important posts related to shipbuilding in Moscow, and they have helped a lot in this matter.

Building an aircraft carrier is a good way to increase employment and increase the status of the city!

Moreover, in the Soviet era, compared to Leningrad, which had a population of 4 million and was open to foreign tourists, it was easier to keep the city of Nikolaev, which was not open to foreigners during the entire Soviet era, to keep it secret, not to mention that it had a warm climate and was navigable all year round.

Now that the Soviet Union is gone, Da Mao Russia suddenly found a big problem: they will have no place to build aircraft carriers in the future, and this is miserable!

No way, who would have thought that the Soviet Union would collapse.

The boss's factory has already seen the schematic diagram before, and this will look down from the air, Zhang Nan can even find the "Varyag" aircraft carrier moored at the outfitting dock.

Charlie also saw the big guy, and pointed deliberately, and Zhang Nan signaled that he had seen it too.

It didn't take long for the captain to remind, "Sir, please return to your seats with Miss, we are about to arrive at the airport." ”

You, the honorific title of the Russians.

The captain wanted to listen to the captain's words, and the two immediately returned to their seats in the back cabin to sit down and fasten their seat belts, and Charize Theron said: "What a stupid Ukrainian!"

Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What stupid?"

"Nicole said that last year, the Ukrainian was fooled by Washington to find a middleman, and actually dismantled their only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier under construction, saying that it was selling scrap iron at a high price.

waited until the demolition was completed to find out that he had been deceived, and it became an international laughing stock.

By the way, you don't know about that?"

Zhang Nan smiled slightly and said: "Nicole watched the news, she didn't understand the cross-industry details and the mysteries in it, otherwise she wouldn't have said that."

Charlie, the Ukrainians are not stupid, they just have no way, they have no choice, they can only do that..."

Chariz Theron is talking about the aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk, which was dismantled last year, a classic battle in the national strategic game, where at least half the world thinks that Ukraine has been played like an idiot.

Washington felt so good about itself that incident, but, is this Ukrainian really stupid?

No, they are not stupid, whoever is in that situation can only dismantle that aircraft carrier!

The aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk is the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier built by the Soviet Union, and its name is derived from the Soviet city of Ulyanovsk, located in Russia, and the name of the city is in honor of Lenin: Lenin's real name is Vladimir Ilyich-Ulyanov.

Construction of the aircraft carrier began at the Nikolaev shipyard in 1988, and if completed, it would be the Red Navy's first super-aircraft carrier, the Soviet Union's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and one of America's most nervous enemies.

Some people say that the United States does not need to have a single soldier, but just let the middleman come out and completely solve this problem with a small business scam...

Dog-fart, it's too uplifting Americans!

Washington put gold on his face, and a group of experts who hold stinky feet are sought after, and they are all bragged!

Actually...

At the end of the previous year, representatives of a Norwegian shipbuilding company went to Nikolaev and placed an order with the Nikolaev shipyard for the construction of six large merchant ships.

The tonnage of these merchant ships is large, and the Nikolaev shipyard has this construction capacity, but only at slipway zero, where the "Ulyanovsk" was built.

This order is still very urgent, and it is required to start construction immediately, and the deposit under the order is also very generous.

Then Ukraine will be insanely poor, the shipyards without state orders and funds will be even poorer, and the workers at the shipyards will starve to death!

In order for the shipyard not to close down and the workers to eat, this list must not be lost!

The slipway must be vacated!

But how did the slipway get free?

30% of the "Ulyanovsk" is still on the slipway, you can't just push it into the sea, right?

At this time, it did not even have full self-flotation capacity, and just when the shipyard did not know what to do, an American scrap steel recycling company came to the door.

The vice president of the American company personally led the team, saying that it would purchase high-strength scrap steel, and the price was $450 per ton, which was much higher than the purchase price of international scrap steel at that time.

Is there anything better than pie in the sky?

Is there any other option?

While waiting for slipway zero to be vacated, he was anxious to scrap steel and offered high prices;

While the commission is huge, the purchase price is very high, and even the deposit is given.

There is no other choice up and down the Nikolaev shipyard, after all, survival is the most important thing!

As a result, the shipyard made the only possible choice to completely cut and dismantle the only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Soviet Navy, which was 30% of the progress of the project.

Just when the dismantling work was basically over but not yet fully completed, two Western companies changed their minds at the same time: the Norwegian shipyard informed the Nikolaev shipyard that due to the market environment, the original order was cancelled and liquidated damages were compensated.

The company that buys old steel in the United States has sent a new representative, saying that because they do not understand the market of scrap steel in the international market, the price they opened before was too high, and it is okay to continue selling it at $150 a ton.

There is no other option at the Nikolaev shipyard, the aircraft carrier has been dismantled, and it will have to be sold for 150 dollars a ton!

In this way, two leather bag companies, two false contracts, under the personal organization of the shipyard director Makarov, after paying not much liquidated damages, the aircraft carrier builders completely dismantled the aircraft carrier!

Wars between countries are fought every day, but some wars you can see, and some wars you can't!

Some people say that the United States has completely extinguished the hope of the Russians for decades to have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with only a small commercial means.

“... Charlie, this is Washington's boasting and shamelessness.

In fact, Washington is the big loser in this operation!

Some people say that this commercial scam can be regarded as a scam of the century, but in fact, in the eyes of the employees of the shipyard below and their director, Washington is a fool, 250!

Absolutely, nothing wrong.

Nicole told me about it, too, but now she won't mention it, and don't talk about it in front of her, beware of her getting angry... Hey, hey!"

"Why?"

"Washington is a fool in this matter, so isn't your sister Nicole also deceived in her thinking?

She is the most successful boss and CEO on Wall Street in six years, and if she had encountered this herself, she would have done the same to deal with that aircraft carrier last year.

I'll poke the matter away, she doesn't want to mention it anymore, you go to expose the scar again, hehe, beware of her cutting you!"

The girl's eyes were white, "Brother, I'm asking how stupid Washington is!"

"Because that aircraft carrier can never be built..."

Zhang Nan said that the theory that "the Varyag aircraft carrier cannot be built" that has not yet happened is a theory, not a story, and Chariz-Theron, who is absolutely not stupid here, immediately understood the reason in light of the situation of the Ulyanovsk, which is progressing at a lower rate.

Now the girl said: "Washington is the one who is wronged, or the fool who posted it himself!"

The hull of that aircraft carrier is not finished, the USSR is gone, it cannot be rebuilt.

Occupying the slipway is not only waste, but also occupies the most important survival channel of the shipyard, so the people who look at the shipyard actually want to throw it into the Black Sea for a long time.

However, it takes effort, energy, and cost to dismantle it, and it also has to serve emotional problems, and the agent of Washington automatically comes to the door, and there is a deposit and liquidated damages, which is equivalent to paying the wages of the shipbreaking, feeding the people in the shipyard, and helping people to serve the psychological barrier. ”

"By the way, what is Kaizi, Washington in that matter is.

Some say the aircraft carrier ended up selling for scrap, and the scrap contract required the plates to be cut so small that they could no longer be used to build warships.

Washington succeeded, the special products used in aircraft carriers were very expensive and the production process was troublesome, but as soon as the Soviet Union was finished, the last thing that was lacking was all kinds of metals, such as steel, which were piled up and no one wanted, there were too many.

$150 a ton is better than finding a place to pile it yourself.

If you sell it, it's money, and if you don't sell it, it's worthless.

I think that sooner or later I will have to dismantle it, and people will pay for the dismantling of the ship and the purchase of scrap products, so the fool will not dismantle it!"

Well, Washington is a fool, it's just that most people don't know, probably this old cloth who has left the White House will still be complacent about that incident, but he doesn't know that he himself is an out-and-out idiot!
