The Ulyanovsk nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in Ukraine's hands was originally invested and built by the Soviet Union, and it was planned to be built into the first super aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union, which was a key step for the Soviet Navy to truly become a blue-water navy.

However, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Ulyanovsk has experienced a tragic fate with twists and turns.

Neither Russia nor Ukraine has the ability and energy to complete this aircraft carrier, which has reached 45% of the progress. However, it should be noted that due to the special constitution of the Soviet Union, the key components of the Ulyanovsk were all ready long before the start of the construction of the aircraft carrier.

Even the second ship, which is not named, has already completed 30% of its progress.

That is, at this point in time at the collapse of the USSR, the Black Sea Shipyard actually had spare parts for two Ulyanovsk-class aircraft carriers.

In the process of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and Ukraine consulted. Because Russia is nominally the successor of the Soviet legacy, and there is no need for aircraft carriers on the Ukrainian side, the attitude of the Black Sea Shipyard towards the Ulyanovsk is that as long as Russia pays, the ship will be handed over to Russia after it is built.

However, the problem is that Russia itself is already poor and can't open the pot, but the Ukrainian side has offered a price with a lion's mouth.

The core components, which have been in place since Soviet times, include nuclear reactors, catapults, electronics and power systems, all of which Ukraine seems to Russia to pay for again......

Because theoretically, these devices are in Ukraine at this time, and they are all the property of Ukraine.

I bought a watch last year, and Russia is not wronged, so I flipped the table on the spot. Anyway, the Russian fleet is already poor and wants to decommission the capital ships, so you can rot this!

Well, at that time Russia did not know that the Navy could be used to "eat".

After losing the Russian order, the CIA jumped out in a vest and named the scrap steel of the Ulyanovsk. In addition, a Norwegian shipyard has proposed to invest in the construction of six civilian ships using slipway 0, which is currently under construction of the Ulyanovsk.

The Black Sea Shipyard, which was in trouble, had to agree to dismantle the steel of the Ulyanovsk and sell it to the CIA, which was dressed as a steel company. But what happened later, there are no surprises to think about. After dismantling the ship, the CIA immediately tore up the agreement and turned its face and did not recognize anyone, and the Black Sea Shipyard received nothing but a deposit.

Up to this point, the course of history was entirely under the control of the CIA.

However, the development of the world situation is like a roller coaster that has derailed, and the changes are completely unrecognizable.

In the pound financial crisis, the pound not only did not suffer a fatal blow, but watched the fire from the other side, watching a circle of old European powers jump into the fire pit. From the French franc to the Italian lira, the Norwegian krone and the Deutsche mark, the Quantum Fund has reaped a wave of hard work over Europe.

The Germans were stunned by the Baltic Fleet exercises, and their own foreign capital took the opportunity to flee, which led to the collapse of the mark exchange rate. Just when Kohl thought that it was just a base adjustment and that the German economic fundamentals were still good, news suddenly came out that Russia had funded the acquisition of the Ukrainian Black Sea shipyard Ulyanovsk.

Emmmm……

At this time, Kohl and the Germans didn't know that this series of suffocating operations was completely aimed at Germany.

If Russia gets the Ulyanovsk, you can think of it with the soles of your feet that you will definitely strengthen this battleship to the Baltic Fleet. At the level of configuration of the Baltic Fleet, Germany will wait for Russia to suck blood from it openly!

Just as Russia, a blatant holder of weapons of mass destruction, has become an indispensable and important force for world peace. When Russia announced its support for the Black Sea Shipyard to continue the construction of the Ulyanovsk, the uproar of the European media about the Russian threat suddenly disappeared.

When Russia truly becomes a European threat, the theory of the Russian threat can no longer be hyped up. The cost of telling the truth is a bit too high for a media group.

Needless to say, the shipbuilding costs provided by Russia to Ukraine are interest-free aid loans that the Germans actively coordinated.

A math problem was placed on the desks of various German dignitaries at this time, and the psychological shadow area of Kohl was sought at this time.

I'm afraid it's not as big as 357376 square kilometers.

After Russia really gets the Ulyanovsk, Germany will not mention any technical adjustments. There is a hooligan who may run out and rob at any time at the doorstep, and the fundamentals of the German economy are not about to collapse.

On the other hand, if Russia strengthens its military power, Europe will be even more inseparable from the military protection provided by the United States. This is a serious negative for the formation of the European Union.

In front of Cole, there are really not many paths to choose from.

"Can you convince Ukraine to stop the construction of the Ulyanovsk?"

The office of the German Chancellery, which was lit up all night, was where almost all the members of the cabinet gathered at this time.

Unlike the warm Christmas atmosphere in thousands of German households at this time, these dignitaries who hold almost all the power in Germany are facing water.

"Ukrainians are not short of money now, there are many foreign funds that have fled from Germany, and now they have entered Ukraine from Britain and France. As for the Black Sea shipyards, they are now very vigilant. The Americans played a trick on them before, and it was difficult to convince the Black Sea Shipyard to cancel the construction of the Ulyanovsk unless they saw the cash. ”

Speaking was the head of the German Federal Intelligence Service, Galen, an experienced and sophisticated intelligence chief who knew many European countries and many of the United States' operations in Europe.

Obviously, the tricks that the Americans had previously played at the Black Sea Shipyard could not hide from him.

"What's going on? The Black Sea Shipyard has been in contact with the Americans before, and do the Americans have relations in Ukraine that they can use?"

As a member of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine has only been independent for a short time. Not to mention influencing the political situation in Ukraine, it is excellent for Germany to have a communication channel with Ukraine. If you can use this channel to pull the Americans into the water, it will be the best.

But after Galen explained what the C.I.A. had done, Cole and his cabinet officials had a colorful and brilliant look on their faces.

"Just to save that amount of money......"

Cole covered his face and slammed his fist on the table, "Just to save that amount of money!

If it weren't for the fact that the CIA wanted to save this money and really bought all the scrap steel of the Ulyanovsk, there would be so much trouble now.

To talk about the mood at this time, Cole really wants to swallow the head of the CIA in Northern Europe.

But at this point, the credibility of Western countries in the Black Sea shipyards is bankrupt, and they have to face reality.

"We pay, as long as the Black Sea Shipyards do not continue to build the Ulyanovsk, we can compensate for the losses they have suffered as a result......"

"Prime Minister, we can't do this!" Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Gabriel hurriedly stood up against Kohl's proposal: "We can no longer give these former Soviets the opportunity to continue to blackmail us and compensate for the losses suffered by the Black Sea Shipyard, this is a never-ending bottomless pit." ”

It's a simple logic problem, and Cole has done it once before. Will it be the end of the rogue blackmail? No, it will only be the beginning of disaster. If the Black Sea Shipyard profited from this, then the Ulyanovsk was a hostage to Germany.

I'm afraid that if there is nothing to do, nothing to do, the Ukrainians will move the Ulyanovsk out and slip. In the face of green dollar bills, the festival of the Ukrainians will not be much higher than that of the Russians.

"What then? Shall we buy the Ulyanovsk ourselves?"

Cole's proposal made everyone in the cabinet shine, and it seemed to be a reasonable solution?

"This is not going to work!" This time it was the turn of the Minister of Defense to stand up: "Our naval configuration cannot support the needs of the Ulyanovsk. We have neither the logistics of a modern aircraft carrier, nor the combat system that supports the role of a supercarrier. Moreover, having a supercarrier is also not suitable for the defense and diplomatic strategy of our country, and the Ulyanovsk is useless in our hands, on the contrary, it will destroy our geopolitical relations with the Nordic countries. ”

"And most importantly, the Americans will not support us in having aircraft carriers. ”

Needless to say, the last one was enough to dispel all of Cole's thoughts on this.

"This will not work, that will not work, gentlemen, do you have any other solution?"

Cole's cabinet members, you look at me, I look at you, almost all of them look at a loss.

Not long after the awkward atmosphere continued, there was a knock on the door of the Prime Minister's office. Cole's chief of staff, Stamp, walked in, his face a little serious: "Prime Minister, the British have put forward a plan through special channels. ”

"What's the plan?"

"Regarding the Ulyanovsk, the British also had some interest. Their Athletic was sold to India, and the British Empire's navy had long been without a proud warship. ”

"The British thought that the Ulyanovsk might be able to join the British Navy. This will not only prevent Russia from acquiring this advanced aircraft carrier, but will also significantly strengthen NATO's military forces in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. ”

"Oh, that's a good thing!" Cole swore that it was the best news he'd heard in recent times. Oh my God, the British have changed sex, when have they been so helpful?

"Mr. Prime Minister, this is not necessarily good news. ”

Stamp swallowed and said, "The British plan does not include a budget for the Ulyanovsk. Unless we pay for it, this solution will not be possible. ”
