Chapter 152: A New Mission
Chongde smiled mysteriously and whispered: "Chairman Sun said this: 'The country needs to progress, don't be so rigid, learn to be flexible, Xiao Xiao is a good boy, we have to support him.'" I heard that he still has a salvage company on Hong Kong Island? This shows that there are still some imperfections in the domestic policy, and since this is the case, we must learn to correct it, and since Xiao Xiao is so interested in seabed salvage, we will support him and let him be the first person to eat crabs in China. Let him register with the Huaxia Diving and Salvage Industry Association and set up a private salvage company. Maybe there will be another high-tax industry in China. 'Did you say you kid made a lot of money?'
The National Association of Diving Industry Salvage, but a national first-class association, is affiliated with the Ministry of Transport. It is a non-profit community organization voluntarily formed by enterprises and institutions with qualifications such as diving and salvage, underwater construction, marine engineering services, and related medical security equipment manufacturing, supply, and scientific research and training institutions.
Of course, in Huaxia, the association's biggest service direction is to coordinate and manage marine engineering services and underwater construction. In terms of marine salvage, it has always stayed at the stage of serving the country. For example, the salvage of the wreck of the passenger ship "Shiyue" and the famous Song Dynasty shipwreck "Nanhai No. 1" were salvaged by the association.
Joining the Salvage Association is a good thing for Xiao Peng, and the annual membership fee paid is a drop in the bucket for Xiao Peng, but the contact of various equipment supplies in the organization provides Xiao Peng with great convenience.
That's good news.
Xiao Peng thought for a moment: "This thing is not so simple, is it?"
Yin Chongde laughed and said, "You kid is a ghost elf." Then let me make it clear to you, you told me some time ago that you may have a way to salvage the Communist Youth League members, and I gave the news back to the top. Of course, including me, I was skeptical. The overall salvage at a depth of more than 1,600 meters is an impossible task for the whole world. But since it's possible, the state wants you to be prepared and give it a try. β
"And the most critical issue in this salvage is: Secrecy! Let me tell you this, what I told you today, no more than five people in the whole of China know. β
Xiao Peng was completely speechless, and now Xiao Peng finally understood what Yin Chongde meant, and it turned out that Xiao Peng thought that the salvage of the Communist Youth League was a cooperation between countries, and the emotional fact was that Xiao Peng was asked to steal back a nuclear submarine with a displacement of more than 8,000 tons and a total length of more than 120 meters?
Although the Komsomolskaya sank on the high seas of northern Norway, warships are the property of the State and are subject only to the flag State under the principle of ocean fishing. In other words, even if it is salvaged, its ownership belongs to the polar bear.
Xiao Peng stretched out his hands: "Uncle Yin, a nuclear submarine of more than 100 meters is to be salvaged by me unknowingly, and it must be dragged back to China along the coastline of the Eurasian continent without letting people know, I really can't do this." And this nuclear submarine has been sinking for so long, God knows if the nuclear reactor inside has leaked, this is a fateful game. β
According to Xiao Peng's original thoughts, if the two countries cooperate in salvage, then Huaxia will definitely send a salvage ship. You must know that the world's largest 12,000-ton crane ship was built by Huaxia. Salvage the Komsomol without pressure, the biggest problem should be that the shipwreck is too deep to locate. And this is not difficult for Xiao Peng.
It turned out that the task of salvaging this submarine had to be done secretly. Then the Huaxia crane ship will definitely not come in handy. Do you really want to mobilize the sperm whales yourself? I don't know where they have gone.
And the most important thing is that the climate in the Norwegian North Sea is harsh now, and the far sea operation is not a joke, but you can't anchor in the deep sea, and there is no guarantee of safety. Now I go to the deep-sea operation over there, it is the old birthday star hanging, thinking that his life is long.
Yin Chongde also knew that this was too difficult: "I don't have to let you salvage it, just to see if you can try it." β
Xiao Peng nodded: "I'll think about it." β
Yin Chongde suddenly remembered something: "By the way, don't you want to buy a big boat? I'll contact you." You can go and see the ship, it is definitely a good ship, produced by the military industry, the quality is a bargain, and the most important thing is that you have a meritorious service in bringing back the national treasure, and the country has decided that this ship is a reward from the state!"
Xiao Peng looked at Yin Chongde with a suspicious expression, and when he heard the words military industry and reward, Xiao Peng felt that there was a big pit in front of him waiting for him to jump.
Sure enough, Yin Chongde's next sentence verified Xiao Peng's suspicions: "If you have time recently, go to Odessa City to see the boat." β
"Where?" Xiao Peng was dumbfounded, Odessa City? In the West?
Yin Chongde said indifferently: "You don't even know the city of Odessa? Are young people nowadays really not studying? Odessa, a city in the south of Ukraine, is the second largest city in Ukraine, the largest port city on the Black Sea coast, has a developed shipbuilding industry, is known as the pearl of the Black Sea, has contacts with more than 200 ports in 60 countries in the world, and 50% of the foreign trade freight of the former Soviet Union is exported from there. β
Xiao Peng was speechless, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: "Uncle Yin, if you have anything to say, just say it, I don't read much, but I'm not stupid." Don't go around in circles with me. β
Yin Chongde glared at Xiao Peng: "How can you talk, kid? You don't want to give you a boat for nothing?"
Xiao Peng pouted and said, "Do you want me to run so far for nothing?" β
Yin Chongde smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just hope that when you drive the ship back, you will help me transport a cargo by the way." β
Xiao Peng showed a contemptuous expression: "This product is not simple, right?"
A word popped out of Yin Chongde's mouth: "Alligator." But it's not the kind that swims in the water, it's in the sky!"
Xiao Peng almost fainted when he heard this, Uncle Yin, you are my own uncle, you are not finished if you don't play to death?
The alligator that Yin Chongde said in his mouth is not a reptile, but the nickname of the Russian Ka-52 gunship. This is one of the most advanced gunships in the world, on par with the Apache of the Stars and Stripes.
Although Huaxia also has its own armed helicopters, the gap in technology compared with alligators is not half a star. And Russia never considered selling alligators to China.
Don't look at the close relationship between Russia and China, and export a large amount of military equipment to China, but in terms of production technology, Russia has always been tight. On the contrary, it is the world's No. 1 loser, which has provided great help to China militarily.
Ukraine is also a former Soviet state, which became independent after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
At the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine received a large amount of property: more than 350 ships, more than 13,000 armored vehicles and tanks, more than 1,500 combat aircraft, more than 3,700 nuclear missiles, and an army that could equip 1 million people.
To put it mildly, even if Ukraine sells all these weapons after the separation, it will be enough for Ukraine to live a well-off life for decades. As a result, what did Ukraine do? As soon as the Stars and Stripes said that your missiles were inconsistent with ours, Ukraine destroyed the missiles on a large scale, and more than 30 Tu-160 strategic bombers, the treasure of the town, were all destroyed.
You know, a Tu-160 fully loaded with a nuclear bomb can destroy any country in the world.
And that's not all, Ukraine destroyed all the nuclear bombs, not to mention, the cruise-missile ballistic missiles were all destroyed, and the technical personnel blockade was carried out, what Mi-24 helicopters, thrown, T80 tanks, thrown, Su-24 bombers, thrown in bundles, tanks, don't want it, thrown, and even the Buran space shuttle, tooγγγγγγ
At the time of the separation, Ukraine's foreign debt was zero, and its industry and agriculture were developed, but now Ukraine's per capita GDP is less than 40% of the Soviet Union's heyday, and its foreign debt is tens of billions of US dollars. Some time ago, there was a conflict between Ukraine and the polar bear country, and there was no way to even take out the World War II trucks displayed in the museum to replenish the army.
However, it is this loser country that has provided the most direct help to China in terms of military affairs. The famous Three Musketeers of Ukraine cruised in the Huaxia Sea: the polar icebreaker Xuelong, the supply ship Qinghai, and the aircraft carrier Liaoning. These are all the housekeeping treasures of Ukraine, and all of them have been given to Huaxia.
The most critical point is that Ukraine has inherited 35% of the military R&D institutions and military factories of the former Soviet Union, and the military industry is extremely strong, and all kinds of technologies have been sold to China, because of this, China's military technology has advanced for at least several decades.
"Where did the alligator come from? Why don't you take it by air?" Xiao Peng expressed his curiosity.
Yin Chongde said with a smile: "At this time, during the conflict on the Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine shot down the delivery. Didn't Lao Maozi keep blocking alligators from us? As for the idea of air transportation, forget it, after all, we have a close relationship with Lao Maozi, and this time you transport alligators, which is a private act and has nothing to do with the country. β
Xiao Peng also smiled, and the research in Yin Chongde's mouth was of deep significance. Who dares to underestimate the strength of China's military industry? In those years, Su-27 planes were imported from Russia, and not long after, Huaxia's Jian-11 planes flew into the blue sky and were equipped with Huaxia troops on a large scale.
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and asked: "If I really go to get the boat, how can I cross the Bosphorus? After crossing the Bosphorus, I will have to cross the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the Indo-Pacific Ocean before I can come back.
The Black Sea, which is an inland sea, meets the Mediterranean Sea through the Bosphorus Strait. To sail out of the Black Sea, you have to cross the Bosphorus.
After China purchased the Varyag aircraft carrier from Ukraine, Turkey refused to allow the Varyag aircraft carrier to pass through the Bosphorus, and there was no way, the Varyag aircraft carrier wandered in the Black Sea for more than 500 days!
In the end, Huaxia gave Turkey a billion meters of gold, and after signing twenty agreements, the Varyag aircraft carrier could be transported back to Huaxia and become today's Liaoning.
If Xiao Peng wants to bring the alligator back, the Bosphorus is a key point that cannot be ignored.
Yin Chongde said in one sentence: "Don't worry about the Bosphorus problem, the current Turkish country, I wish Russia would die sooner." Anything that makes Russia uncomfortable is the most comfortable thing for Turkey. β
