Of course, based on what he knew about the Indians in his previous life, Mavi would not have advised the Russian Navy to sell them the most advanced equipment. At best, ships that are about to be phased out, or are about to be replaced. And the price has to be sold in the expensive way.

After coming out of the naval headquarters, Mavi immediately asked the housekeeper to send someone to contact the Indian Navy and ask them to come to Russia to talk about ordering frigates.

Originally, the order transactions between the two militaries were generally not involving individuals. But Mavi, as an intermediary, introduced the deal, and also sponsored the Russian Navy with $26.5 million for project research and development.

So the Navy made an exception to involve him, and also hoped that he would try to facilitate the order as much as possible, so that the Indians would not buy warships from other countries, which would be bad.

In return, a large part of the Indian Navy's orders for warships will certainly flow to Mawi's North Sea shipyard. At that time, it will depend on the Indian military, how much appetite it has, and how many warships it can eat.

Half a month later, a Boeing 747 plane flying from India landed at St. Petersburg Airport. The aircraft is India's "Air Force One" and is equipped with anti-electronic jamming equipment, anti-missile systems and in-flight refueling facilities.

It is usually a special aircraft used by the President and Prime Minister of India when they visit from afar. However, commercial flights are also carried out in normal times, or for the use of other departments. After all, the Indian government is not very rich, especially at that time.

When the Boeing 747 aircraft smoothly lands on the airport track. The Russian military, who had been waiting on the platform for a long time, drove a Tiger armored car and slowly drove under the plane.

At this time, the ramp of the plane fell, and an old man wearing a white military uniform with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes, wearing several silver medals on his chest, slowly walked off the plane.

Look at the military badge on the old man's shoulder, two swords and four stars, plus red and silver medals, a proper admiral rank. This honor, in India, was awarded only to the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy.

Lieutenant General Nikov, who was in charge of the reception, got out of the Tiger armored car with a serious expression, and then stepped forward to shake hands with the old man and said, "Admiral Suni Barr, welcome to St. Petersburg." ”

It stands to reason that if the other country sends a general, then the country should also be received by the general. But from the point of view of Russia's military power, the rank of lieutenant general is almost equal to that of the other party's general, so there is nothing wrong with such a reception.

"Hello, Lieutenant General Nikkov. Suni Barr stretched out his hand and shook Nikov's hand. And the two exchanged pleasantries at the airport for a while, and then took the Tiger armored convoy to visit and visit Mawei's Beihai Shipyard.

Since Ma Wei acquired the Beihai Shipyard, the efficiency of the factory has been getting better day by day, and its appearance has been much renovated than the original. For example, the original mottled and rusty iron doors have all been newly painted. Production, which had been stagnant, has become thriving and full of vitality.

"Vice Admiral Nikkov, your shipyards of the Russian Navy are doing a really good job. When the convoy drove to the North Sea Shipyard, Admiral Suni Barr was in the car and said complimentally.

In India, the shipbuilding industry is too bad, and domestic frigates are not in good shape, and they cannot be compared with Russia. The 3,600-ton Brahmaputra-class frigate, which started construction in 1989, has only just begun to enter service this year. Moreover, the frigate is still propelled by a steam turbine! It is so old that Admiral Suni Barr has lost face.

Nikkov looked at Mavi's North Sea Shipyard and couldn't help but nod his head as well. In the case of the overall recession of the Russian military industry, it is really rare that Ma Wei can make the shipyard so impressive.

"That's pretty good, Admiral Suni Barr. However, this shipyard is not part of our Russian Navy. "Nikkov had to clarify.

"Oh, it's not part of your navy, it's privatized?" Admiral Suni Barr raised his eyebrows in surprise. It seems that the operator behind a privatized shipyard can do such a good job, and it seems that the operator behind it is very capable and very extraordinary.

"Well, yes. Lieutenant General Nikov said, gesturing to the dock not far away. Under the huge dock, in addition to the naval officers, there was also a young Russian in a suit, who stood out in the crowd.

When Admiral Suni Barr and Lieutenant General Nikov stepped off the armored vehicle, Nikov introduced the accompanying officers and the operator of the North Sea Shipyard, Mavi, to the Indian general.

"Admiral Suni Barr, I would like to introduce you to the chairman of our North Sea Shipyard, Mr. Mavi. Don't look at his young age, his ability is very big. ”

Since the last interview at the naval headquarters, Vice Admiral Nikov has become more and more appreciative of Mavi. Including this Indian order, Ma Wei also brokered it through his relationship. So Nikkov must give him enough face.

"Hello, Mr. Mavi, your shipyard is doing well. Admiral Suni Barr said and held out his right hand to Mavi.

Mavi, on the other hand, calmed down and said with a smile, "It's over, Admiral Suni Barr." At the same time, he stretched out his hand and shook the admiral.

To be honest, Ma Wei didn't expect things to develop to this extent. A few days ago, I was at the headquarters of the Navy, and I was "talking and laughing" with the vice admiral. Today at his own shipyard, receiving the General Staff of the Navy from India.

This Nima ...... It felt like a dream! If it weren't for the fact that Ma Wei saw so many admirals and navy soldiers around him, he would have thought that he hadn't woken up from his dream......

"Mr. Mavi, what kind of warship are you building in this dock now?" After shaking hands, Suni Barr became interested in the two big ships in the dock.

"Those two are under construction, Grisha-class V-type frigates. Compared to these two 1,200-ton corvettes, Admiral Suni Barr, we currently have one in our North Sea Shipyard, a 55,000-ton battleship left over from the Soviet era, I don't know if you are interested, take a look?" asked Suni Barr with a smile.

At the same time, while he was questioning, Vice Admiral Nikov also quietly followed a rear admiral next to him and whispered a few words. Then the admiral took the order and departed. It seems that the two sides have discussed it before, and now they are cooperating with something.

"Soviet-class 55,000-ton battleships? I'm interested in that, Mr. Mavi. Admiral Suni Barr immediately said with interest. Although he did not participate in World War II, he admired the battleships and heavy cruisers of that period.

It's a pity that with the advent of aircraft carrier battle groups, battleships and heavy cruisers, warship units that only focus on heavy artillery, have all been eliminated. At present, in the world, almost none can be seen.

"It's in that dock over there. Mavi stretched out his hand and pointed to the largest dock in the distance.

In order to impress the Indian Navy, facilitate the order deal. He found a Soviet-class battleship that had been decommissioned for a long time. Then let the workers paint it fresh to achieve the greatest restoration.

The North Sea Shipyard, although at the moment it is not possible to build aircraft carriers, nuclear-powered submarines. But it is still possible to refurbish battleships, heavy cruisers.

The reason why Mavi did this was not because he wanted the Indian Navy to buy the battleship with a lot of money. Rather, it is to let this 55,000-ton battleship go to sea again. Then let the Russian Navy drive a 3,000-ton "Talvar" stealth frigate and completely sink the battleship!

Demonstrate the strength of the Russian Navy!

The visual impact formed by this time will definitely be extremely shocking! It will be like restoring the battlefield of World War II, which will make people unforgettable...... This can also facilitate the transaction of orders between the two parties.

Of course, in the process of sinking, the shell explodes, which will definitely kill the fish in the sea and stun them. Therefore, Ma Wei also specially prepared two fishing boats, so that the dead fish could be cleaned up and the stunned fish could be brought to the table......
