Before shutting down the reactor, a cooling period of at least three years is passed, after which the hull above the reactor is removed, and the top shield is removed. The fuel elements are transported by ship train to a dedicated storage location. The whole process is time-consuming and costly.

So Ma Wei's plan is to find a way to get the Koreans to come and pay. Let the two nuclear submarines that are about to be retired be given to South Korea to study on their own in the form of a discount.

Of course, some key equipment, technology. Russian engineers, they will definitely be dismantled in advance. And from Ma Wei's own position, his role is to block the way of the Koreans. Then arrange for a certain official, very timely, to reveal to the South Koreans about the two decommissioned nuclear submarines.

Next, it depends on whether Koreans will be tempted by greed for cheapness. In the end, we helped Russia solve this nuclear disposal problem.

Seeing Ma Wei actually receiving foreign guests like this, South Korean representative Lu Yuanji felt very disrespected. So he immediately called and protested to the South Korean embassy in Russia. told Ma Wei's "bad" behavior.

"The Russian government said that without 4 billion US dollars, it would never sell nuclear submarines. If they are like this, why do they call us over to negotiate?" Lu Yuanji said angrily on the phone.

And the director of the South Korean embassy on the other end suddenly remembered something and said, "Don't worry, Yuan Ki, I seem to have heard a Russian friend of mine say it two days ago." On the side of the Baltic Fleet, there are two attack nuclear submarines that are about to be decommissioned. Due to insufficient funding, it was not possible to dismantle the nuclear reactor. You see, if we send someone to communicate with the Baltic Fleet, will we be able to buy what we want at a very low price?"

The news of the director of the South Korean Embassy was deliberately spread by Ma Wei through a special person. Directly selling South Korean nuclear submarines and then dismantling professional equipment seems to be a bit inappropriate after careful consideration by Ma Wei.

If the Koreans find out early, the scene will be very ugly.

After all, Russia is dominated by the arms industry. Such a crossing of the river and the demolition of the bridge, if the matter spreads to the international community, even if it is clearly written in black and white, it will attract infamy to the Russian Navy. At that time, other countries will not dare to do business with him.

And decommissioned nuclear submarines are different, this is a business that is willing to fight and suffer. South Koreans want to be greedy and cheap, buy Russian decommissioned nuclear submarines to steal technology. In the end, the Russian side dismantled the key equipment ahead of schedule. This will not affect the arms deal. It's not to blame the Russians.

If you want to blame the Koreans, they have a bad heart and want to take advantage of Russia, and in the end they are countered by others, and stealing chickens and rice is not a loss.

"How much does it cost to dismantle a nuclear reactor?" asked Lu Yuanji with interest. At this time, he was holding a bad breath in his heart, and he wanted to vent very much. This was all Ma Wei just now, which made him unhappy.

"The dismantling of the reactor of a nuclear submarine is about $400 million. Two ships are about $800 million. If you include the price of decommissioned nuclear submarines, it should be around $2.5 billion. The head of the South Korean embassy said on the phone.

Spending $2.5 billion to buy Russia's nuclear submarine technology, which is not widely transmitted, is a very good investment. After all, this technology can't be bought anywhere else.

The Koreans are playing very well in the abacus, but they don't know that they are stepping into someone's chess game step by step and gradually becoming a chess piece.

In the days that followed, the South Korean Ministry of Defense visited Russia's Baltic Fleet. In charge of receiving everyone, it was a vice admiral who had already been angry with Mavi, Samnovs.

"Vice Admiral Samnovs, it's a pleasure to meet you! I heard that your fleet has two nuclear submarines that are about to be decommissioned and need to dismantle nuclear reactors? After some greetings, South Korean representative Roh Won-ki warmly said to the Russian lieutenant general.

"Why are you so kind, and you suddenly want to help with this?" asked Lieutenant General Samnovs, a little puzzled.

Before that, he had already talked to Ma Wei on the phone and knew what the South Koreans were talking about. Therefore, all of his questions just now were deliberately performed according to someone's request. In order to make Koreans think that their little cleverness has succeeded.

"That's right, Lieutenant General Samnovs. Since Russia is close to me and South Korea, the distance is close. In case your country, due to financial problems, is not able to dismantle the submarine nuclear reactor. Eventually, things like Chernobyl, nuclear leakage, and so on. We in South Korea will also suffer. The economic damage caused by that time will be very serious. ”

"So I propose, Your Excellency, Vice Admiral, that your government sell these two nuclear submarines that are about to be decommissioned to me South Korea. As for the cost of dismantling the nuclear reactor, it will also be borne by China and South Korea, do you think it?" Lu Yuanji asked with a suggestion.

From his standpoint, Russia's decommissioned nuclear submarines are also a very headache for the Navy. If you dismantle it, it will be too expensive. If it is not dismantled, it may cause a nuclear accident in a minute. The harm caused by that is even greater, not only polluting the sea area, but also requiring the Russian government to clean up the mess and consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

"I'm afraid I'll have to ask my superiors for instructions, but I can't give you an answer right away. Lieutenant General Samnovs, thoughtful replied.

"No problem, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General. Hearing that the other party seemed to be a little tempted, Lu Yuanji felt playful and obediently said.

At this time, Lieutenant General Samnovs, pretending to get a phone from the guard, then walked into the distance and dialed someone's mobile phone, "Hey, Mr. Mavi, the plan is going very well. The South Koreans said they would help us deal with the nuclear reactor and they would bear all the costs. ”

Lieutenant General Samnovs said to Mavi with admiration. The development of events was exactly as Ma Wei had predicted. Even in terms of rhetoric, it is very different, which is really amazing.

In fact, this is not what Ma Wei expected, but the history is always strikingly similar. In a previous life, South Korea had bought their abandoned aircraft carriers from Russia. Minsk, and Novorossiysk.

On the surface, South Korea was acquired in the name of protecting the marine environment and providing economic support to neighboring countries. But Russia is not stupid either, knowing that South Korea has long wanted to have aircraft carriers. They hope to dismantle the two aircraft carriers and lay the foundation for their country's aircraft carrier cause. So before it was sold, the key equipment was completely dismantled, and even part of the structure of the aircraft carrier was destroyed.
