Li Yadong and his entourage stayed in Odessa temporarily, living in the small town of Amiku and did not leave.

Anyway, there is nothing else to do in Ukraine, where to live is to live. One more thing, if he doesn't fish out something from the Odessa Military Region, Li Yadong always feels a little uncomfortable.

After all, the wine was also sent, and the money was sent, so you can't cheapen that old man Klavikis for nothing, right?

Therefore, while Pete was busy dealing with the relationship and corrupting the Ukrainian military industry, Li Yadong was not idle.

Anyway, it's close, when you're full and have nothing to do, you can go to the Odessa Military District for a walk and find General Kravisky for a drink, anyway, the old man loves wine, and Li Yadong is not empty-handed every time, and what he brings over is the best liquor he can get on the market.

After going back and forth, the "friendship" between the two has progressed rapidly, although Admiral Kravisky is still timid and cautious, and will not let go of selling his many big killing weapons, but one accidentally, Li Yadong learned a big news from him.

Odessa Military District, Office of the Commander-in-Chief.

Li Yadong and Admiral Kravisky sat face to face around a wooden coffee table, on which were stacked with several piles of delicious charcuterie wrapped in brown paper—all of which Li Yadong had asked Victor to buy in the city early in the morning, as well as two bottles of Scotch whisky, one of which had bottomed out.

"Admiral Kravisky, is what you just said true or false?" Li Yadong asked with a red face, his amount of alcohol was not comparable to that of the guy in front of him, although he drank less than half of him, but he was not used to drinking this kind of foreign wine, and after three or two stomachs, his face was already red.

"Then can there be a fake?" Admiral Kravisky grabbed a crispy chicken leg and nibbled on it, and after taking another sip of wine, he squinted his eyes comfortably and said, "The things that have been decided will start in a few days." ”

MMP, Li Yadong really has the urge to flip the table at the moment.

In fact, he has always had this idea, but he has always felt that it is very difficult, especially after he failed to buy warships and fighter jets, he didn't dare to think about it at all, he didn't think about it, but he was taken by others first!

Admiral Kravisky just told him one thing, that it was a Norwegian company that suddenly placed a large order for four large tankers of 10,000 tons to the Nikolav Black Sea Shipyard.

It was a complete windfall, to the delight of the Ukrainian government.

After all, the Ukrainian economy at this time is so bad that it can be said that it owes money to soak in water. Think about it, a few months before the collapse of the USSR, 1.8 rubles could still be exchanged for a dollar, and now?

Inflation is very serious, about 3,500 rubles are worth a dollar, and the ruble is still falling, buy a train ticket from Moscow to Beijing, one dollar is enough, or soft sleeper.

Appalling.

Suddenly, a large order of hundreds of millions of dollars was smashed, and the Ukrainian government was not ecstatic before there was a ghost.

But then a problem arose, the slipway at the Nikolav Black Sea Shipyard was full.

Three aircraft carriers are moored there!

It's still unfinished.

One of the "Kuznetsov" is okay, the completion rate has reached 98%, only some tail sweeping work has not been completed, the power plant is neat and can be driven, not long ago it has been forcibly driven away by the Russian Navy, and no formalities have been done, so it was forcibly driven away.

Originally, Ukraine was still ready to rip off, but now that a large order is in front of it, this move has freed up part of the slipway, so forget it.

As for the other two aircraft carriers, one is the "Infinite Lovevsky", which is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but when the Soviet Union collapsed, the completion rate was only 17%, and only the hull was just closed, and it was completely immovable.

The other is the aircraft carrier "Varyag".

Its completion rate is 67.3%, and although the hull and power facilities have been built, the electronic equipment, fire control equipment, and aircraft take-off and landing equipment have not been installed and cannot be moved.

So what to do?

The Ukrainian government will never miss the order for these four 10,000-ton oil tankers, so the government decided: sell these two aircraft carriers to free up the slipway and build oil tankers.

Originally, it should be a great thing to come here, which can be described as a godsend, for a person like Li Yadong who wants to buy a big killing weapon.

At this time, the Norwegian company that placed the order proposed: Since you want to buy it, it is better to sell it to us, and we will sell it as scrap iron.

You know what?

In order to cater to this big customer, the Ukrainian government actually agreed!

MMP's!

"Huh, that's not right!" Suddenly thinking of something, Li Yadong suddenly came back to his senses, just now because he was so angry that his thoughts were not clear for a while.

It is normal to say that his butterfly will cause some historical differences, but he has never intervened in the matter of Ukrainian aircraft carriers, and he has never even been to the Nikolav Black Sea Shipyard.

And how could the "Varyag" be dismantled into scrap metal?

It is clear that this aircraft carrier will go to China in the future.

"Admiral Kravisky, let's not talk about the 'Infinite Lovesky' aircraft carrier, after all, there is only one empty shell, but the 'Varyag' aircraft carrier has already been completed for more than half of the time, and it would be a pity to dismantle it as scrap steel, right? Are you sure that your news is absolutely true and reliable?" Li Yadong asked.

"Well...... To be honest, I didn't verify it, I also think it's a pity that the 'Varyag' was dismantled, I don't know if the pigs on it will really be so stupid, but one thing is certain, the 'Infinite Lovesky' will definitely not be spared, the news I got is very clear that the aircraft carrier will be dismantled, if the 'Varyag' is not dismantled, then it will definitely be demolished. Russia drove away one, dismantled another, and the slipway was probably about the same. ”

Damn, I was almost scared to death by you!" Li Yadong thought to himself.

The "Varyag" should not be dismantled, many things have proved that as long as he does not stir up the situation as a butterfly, it is difficult to change the trajectory of history, and the power of his butterfly is limited after all, and even if he fans some things, it is difficult to cause changes, such as the collapse of the Soviet Union.

His thoughts at the moment are: Since the attitude of the Ukrainian government has been very clear, and it doesn't care about aircraft carriers, or big guys that the country can't use at all and still need to spend a lot of money to maintain and maintain, then why don't he take the opportunity to get it?

After all, the Norwegian company wants to dismantle a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier into scrap steel, and you all agreed.

Moreover, Li Yadong still knows very well about the past and present life of China's first aircraft carrier, the "Liaoning".

The "Varyag" was bought by a Hong Kong businessman named Xu Zengping, and it cost 20 million US dollars at that time, and it is also said that the sum of 7788 actually spent 100 million.

But even if it is 100 million US dollars, buying the "Varyag", even in this era, seven or eight years earlier than Xu Zengping, in Li Yadong's view, it is worth it.

Why?

Because of such a thing as an aircraft carrier, in a way, its value is difficult to measure in terms of money.

In 1993, Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin, accompanied by Ukrainian Prime Minister Kuchma, went to the Black Sea Shipyard in Nikolav to study the possibility of completing the construction of the "Varyag" aircraft carrier and handing it over to Russia.

When Russian officials asked the director of the Black Sea Shipyard, Makarov, who said gloomily, "The Varyag cannot be completed again......

And they said, "If the factory needs something, you can bring it up." ”

And Makarov's answer was that "the full cooperation of the USSR, the Party Central Committee, the State Planning Commission, the Military-Industrial Commission and nine specialized functional departments of the defense industry was required, involving 600 specialties and 8,000 supporting factories ... Only a great power can build it, but this power, no longer exists. ”

Makarov's words finally made everyone present understand a truth: in the case of the disintegration of the country, it is no longer possible to build the "Varyag".

The director of the Dalian Shipyard in China, when he successfully took delivery of the "Varyag" aircraft carrier in 2002, made three evaluations about it:

This is a brand new aircraft carrier, everything is new, the power system is intact, the yield and corrosion resistance of the aircraft carrier deck steel are the best in the world, not only strong but also absolutely magnetic, it took seventeen years from construction to transportation back to China, but its magnetic force is still zero.

This aircraft carrier advanced the process of developing aircraft carriers in our country by a full twenty years.

This aircraft carrier has saved at least 20 billion yuan in scientific research funds for our country!
