Chapter 632: Verkhovna Rada

Li Yadong, through Admiral Kravisky and his own channels, inquired in many ways, and finally confirmed one thing: the "Varyag" aircraft carrier will not be dismantled.

As for the reason, because after the collapse of the Soviet Union, in view of the economic situation of Russia and Ukraine, the governments of several countries have targeted this aircraft carrier, which is only about to be outfitted.

Of course, the Norwegian company wants it, but the Ukrainian government is not stupid, since there are buyers, it is naturally more cost-effective than dismantling it for scrap and selling it.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese government actually noticed the aircraft carrier, and Li Yadong learned this news from Kong Siqing.

But it is somewhat sad to say that in the face of such a huge opportunity, the opinions of the top level of the government have become polarized.

One point of view admits that aircraft carriers are a good thing, and if nothing else, if you look at the United States, you will know that once something happens, it will shout domineeringly: Where is our aircraft carrier?

Once this kind of thing is said, there is no need to start a fight, and the momentum can overwhelm those "restless" guys.

It's a deterrent.

But there is an opposing view.

These people were successfully brainwashed by Khrushchev back then, believing that the aircraft carrier did not have much effect, it was a living coffin, a living coffin at sea.

The two points of view have been debated endlessly, and they have never been able to reach an agreement, so much so that even if they pay attention to the "Varyag", China has not started for the time being.

Although the "Varyag" was extremely lucky to be captured by China in the end, after learning the news, Li Yadong actually felt quite unhappy.

Of course, he also knew very well in his heart that the leaders who now thought that the aircraft carrier was useless would definitely wake up in the future.

And he, knowing the direction of history, decided to do the right thing.

The last time, the "Varyag" arrived in China in 2002, and this year, it is 1992.

Ten years is not a long time, but it is not a short time, China has always lagged behind the Western powers for several decades, and if it can get the aircraft carrier, which is a maritime hegemon-level equipment, ten years earlier, the future world pattern may be a different scene.

This is a matter of great significance, and Li Yadong feels that the opportunity is in front of him and must be done.

He still doesn't believe it, if the "Varyag" is brought back, the government is still unwilling to ask for it?

For some reason, the previous "Varyag" was not taken by Xu Zengping's Hong Kong Chuanglu Group until 1999, but since the Ukrainian government intends to sell it, Li Yadong will not miss the opportunity, and this matter should not be delayed.

Through the Kremlin's network, he successfully connected with the top level of the Ukrainian government, and after several twists and turns, he got acquainted with the first deputy speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Yuri Kosena, who was specifically responsible for this matter.

Kiev, Grushevsky Prospect.

Two black Chrysler sedans drove slowly down the crowded streets, one behind the other.

This street is the heart of the Ukrainian government, and the presidential palace, Mariinsky Palace, and the Verkhovna Rada building of the parliament are located on this street.

In the past, it was very quiet, after all, it was not a commercial district, but since the collapse of the Soviet Union, it has become more and more lively every day, and the people have to gather together in the form of demonstrations to vent their frustrations and protest against the government's inaction.

At the time of the independence referendum, the government vowed that once Ukraine succeeded, it would soon become one of the most developed countries in Europe.

But today, Ukraine's economy has not only not improved, but has deteriorated.

The government's explanation is that it will take a certain amount of time for shock therapy to be effective.

However, the waistband of the trousers is getting tighter and tighter, and the people can no longer hold on!

Looking out the window at the hungry and cold people standing in the snow, Li Yadong let out a long sigh, if a country does not develop and has no determination to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, this is the consequence.

China has been through a more difficult period than this, but fortunately, China has survived.

And the government is also guiding the people on a broad road.

The year 1992 was a year of great significance for China, and it was a year that all Chinese people should remember.

In the spring after this winter, the old man will start his second southern tour, and China's economy will also enter a real take-off era in this year.

It has been three days since he returned to Kyiv, he has been running around, making connections, and today he finally received an invitation from the parliament.

A neoclassical building appears in front of you, and it is easy to mistake it for an Orthodox church without looking closely, the exterior of the building is snow-white, and it is a boxy shape, with a semicircular dome at the top, with poles, and the blue and yellow sky and sea flag of Ukraine hanging.

This is the Verkhovna Rada building of the Ukrainian parliament.

The Ukrainian parliament, also known as the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, is the highest legislative body of Ukraine, with a total of 450 seats, occupied by major political parties, with great power, and important decisions of the country, including the election of the president, must be completed through the parliament.

The Assembly shall have a Speaker, a First Vice-Chairperson, a Vice-Speaker, and all other members of the Parliament.

It can be seen from this that the first vice speaker of the parliament that Li Yadong is going to meet today, Yuri Kosena, holds a high position.

The Verkhovna Rada building, like the Presidential Palace, is equally heavily guarded, especially in sensitive times like the present, when the supreme legislature is surrounded by the people, it will be a real laughing stock in the world.

However, Li Yadong and his entourage, who were holding the invitation letter, did not encounter the slightest obstacle and successfully passed through many checkpoints and arrived in front of the building.

Everyone else was waiting in the car, and Li Yadong only took the battle girl and followed the staff into the building.

The staff guided them into a simple reception room, motioned for them to wait, and then turned to leave.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the door was gently pushed open, and a slightly chubby middle-aged man with a beard walked in.

This face is very common in newspapers and news, and it is none other than Yuri Kosenner.

"Hello Speaker Yuri. Li Yadong got up and greeted him with a smile, directly omitting the first few words of his title.

"Boss Li, hello, hello, I've heard of the name for a long time, and I finally got it today. Yuri looked very enthusiastic, and didn't mean anything about it.

But then again, his little shelf is nothing to show off in front of the young man in front of him. With the current overall economic situation in the former Soviet Union, no matter which country this person goes to, the government will treat him with courtesy and a proper God of Wealth.

"It's just a small courtesy, not a respect, and I hope that Speaker Yuri will not shirk it, this is the custom of my hometown. ”

After the two of them sat down, Li Yadong glanced sideways, and the battle girl on the side suddenly understood, and carried a black suitcase that had been prepared a long time ago to the table.

"Oh?" Yuri opened the corner of the suitcase, glanced at it, and quickly closed it, and his heart suddenly blossomed.

"Since it is Boss Li's hometown custom, then I might as well be respectful. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the black suitcase off the table and placed it at his feet.

Li Yadong smiled and nodded, knowing that the next conversation was destined to be "frank" a lot.

Don't blame him directly, in the current Ukraine, including the entire territory of the former Soviet Union, there is no gift more tempting than Franklin.

It can be said that almost no one can resist.
