Chapter 605: The Disappearing Aircraft Carrier

Segail was also embarrassed for a while, why don't you like it, what do you say?

Suddenly, I also felt a little sad, how powerful was the Soviet Union in the past, what was not fragrant?

Now, everything from land to industry and even money has become incomparably cheaper.

He smiled bitterly and said in a suggestive tone, "Or...... Boss Li, look at it yourself, what you want, we have it, it doesn't hurt to say it and listen to it, I'll go back and reflect it. ”

I'm waiting for your words!

Li Yadong's heart blossomed, and he first took a preventive shot and said: "Deputy Mayor Sergeil, we are also old friends, what can I say, don't beat around the bush?"

"That's for the best. Sergeil said with a smile on his face.

It is also a kind of helplessness, or forced by the situation, otherwise in his dignified capacity as the deputy mayor of Moscow, why should he greet a businessman with a smile.

Although winter has come, no matter how cold the temperature outside is, it can't be as cold as the current situation.

"To tell you the truth, Secretary General Sergeil, I really planned to make a big show in the USSR, but now I ...... No one expected such a situation. I will say something from an objective point of view, and you must not get me wrong. As far as we businessmen are concerned, we must put our interests first, and Su ...... The current economic situation in Russia has also made me lose confidence here for the time being, so I really don't have much interest in the industry here. If you really want to say what you want...... There is only one kind, and most of these things are a burden to you. ”

"Oh?" said Segail's eyes lit up.

Cumbersome, that's great!

Not only can you get rid of the cumbersome, but you can also exchange it for scarce materials, which is simply the best of both worlds.

hurriedly asked, "Boss Li, what is it, it doesn't hurt for you to say it directly." ”

"It's those who retreated after the collapse of the Soviet Union and gave it to you Russia...... For example, tanks, helicopter gunships, missile launchers, warships, submarines, aircraft carriers, ......"

Li Yadong said slowly, but before he finished speaking, let alone Xie Gail, even the escort girl on the side, plus the translator, the battle girl, and a pair of big eyes were round and round.

The two of them looked at him like monsters.

"You...... What do you want to do?" said Segail warily.

This Nima's, Li Yadong glared at the fighting girl angrily, forget it, forget it, you little girl, what kind of fun, is Lao Tzu a terrorist?

"Don't get me wrong, Deputy Mayor Segail. Li Yadong explained with a smile: "I mainly think that these are baby bumps, it's a pity to waste them, if you don't need them, I'll pick them up and send them back to my country." As you know, my country's heavy industry is backward. Do you think, wouldn't it be much easier for me to get a few things back and hand them over, and then I can start doing business in the future?"

"I see. Xie Gaier let out a long breath, held his cheeks and pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "But Boss Li, this is unlikely." ”

"Why?" Li Yadong pretended to be very puzzled, the purpose was to fan this guy.

He naturally understood that this was not an easy task.

This involves the leakage of a country's military secrets.

Even if you are useless, you can't cheapen others, that's the truth.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia received the most weapons and equipment, but many weapons and equipment were dismantled into scrap iron and bought.

Why?

Because there is no money to maintain.

Can't afford it.

The other Li Yadong is also hearsay, but there is a national weapon, and out of curiosity, he has indeed paid attention to it.

That's an aircraft carrier.

What does an aircraft carrier represent?

It represents the comprehensive national strength of a country, which cannot be possessed by non-military powers.

During the Cold War, the military contest between the United States and the Soviet Union was all-round, and the aircraft carrier, as the important weapon of the country, was naturally the core of the competition.

Although the US military started early in the construction of aircraft carriers and has always been in the leading position in the world, the Soviet Union has not lagged much behind in the construction of aircraft carriers.

By the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's aircraft carrier construction had gone through three generations of small, medium, and large aircraft carriers, and the number of aircraft carriers put into service reached seven, and two were under construction.

Then the question arises, it is known that after two thousand years, there will be only one aircraft carrier in service in Russia, and that is the "Kuznetsov", which belongs to the Northern Fleet.

It was the first aircraft carrier in the world to have both a straight and oblique flight deck, as well as a glide flight deck, and it was also one of the "relics" of the Soviet Union.

And where did the other six aircraft carriers that have already been put into service, and the two aircraft carriers under construction, go?

Many people may not believe it, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the naval fleet fell apart, either owned by the host country or split by the newly independent state. However, because of the huge hulls, the high cost of maintenance, the complicated maintenance, and the need to anchor huge military ports that are compatible with the aircraft carrier hulls, these nine aircraft carriers have become a big problem, and the 15 Allied countries of the former Soviet Union are unwilling to ask for them.

Two of the Soviet Union's first-generation "Moskva-class" light helicopter carriers, the "Moskva" and the "Leningrad," were decommissioned in 1995 and then dismembered because of their age, outdated equipment, and inability to repair them due to financial problems.

Three Soviet second-generation "Kiev-class" conventionally powered medium-sized aircraft carriers, "Kiev", "Minsk", and "Novorossiysk", were decommissioned one after another and sold as scrap because they did not have sufficient funds for maintenance and upgrading.

It is worth mentioning that two of these three aircraft carriers subsequently went to China.

A "Kiev" was decommissioned in 1993 and sold to China two thousand years later to be dismantled.

After the Minsk was decommissioned in the same year, it was sold as scrap steel, and after traveling to other countries, it was eventually sold to China and converted into a military theme park.

So far, tourists can still see it when they go to Tianjin Bohai Bay.

But neither aircraft carrier has any practical value, and almost nothing remains of empty shells.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the aircraft carrier "Admiral Gorshkov" of the same class was repaired at the Russian Northern Ship Repair Yard, but due to lack of funds, it was finally sold to India in 1996 and renamed the aircraft carrier "Vikramaditya", which has been in service with the Indian Navy.

The aircraft carrier "Ulyanzhovsk" is the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union, once it is built, it can make the Soviet Navy have the status of a blue water navy in the true sense, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the aircraft carrier was only 48% completed, and then due to lack of funds, it was decided to sell to the American scrap steel recycling company, but did not expect the buyer to temporarily change his mind, the price per ton pressed 300 US dollars, resulting in the final aircraft carrier hull was cut and sold by scattered scrap iron dealers.

The "Varyag" aircraft carrier, launched in 1988, due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, no funds, outfitting has not been completed, has been parked at the shipyard in the south of Nikolaev, Ukraine, and finally resold to China, after refitting, became the future "Liaoning" aircraft carrier.

So, where the USSR aircraft carrier group went, it is clear at a glance.

There is one of the nine left, and the other eight ships are dismantled and sold, all of which are poor and troublesome.

Li Yadong's idea at this time was that if he could find a way to do a few ...... Well, even if you build one, you have to be complete.

Is it good to dismantle it into scrap iron and sell it, be reasonable, and collect heavenly things?

Can you not be so wasteful?
