The Soviet Union, which was at a loss for what to do, suddenly received a request for help from Cuba. So he who made a decision on the spot, with the other way, returned to the other. Medium-range missiles were secretly deployed in Cuba, as well as Il-28 jet bombers. This has caused a serious escalation of the confrontation between the two sides, and even to the point that a major war is on the verge of breaking out.

At that time, the United States concentrated 8 aircraft carrier battle groups, and 68 squadrons of fighters, desperately trying to intercept Soviet ships at sea.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, deployed a terrifying number of nuclear-powered submarines on the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. Its nuclear torpedoes and nuclear missiles are all in a state of imminent combat, and once the situation gets out of control, all the US aircraft carrier battle groups will be buried at the bottom of the sea.

This is not an addiction, or a joke, according to the data shown in the "Cuban Missile Crisis Files" later released by Russia.

In the end, both sides made a compromise, and the Soviet Union withdrew Cuban missiles, as well as jet bombers. Subsequently, the United States also secretly withdrew all the missiles from Turkey and Italy. Moreover, the United States also promised the Soviet Union that it would never attack Cuba.

All these things are being done in secret in order to save NATO's face. It was not until later, when the statute of limitations expired for the top-secret US document, that it was revealed, that the details of it were known.

So in summary, there is no absolute win or loss between the two sides. The only one who won was the whole world, not destroyed by nuclear weapons......

When 28 scientists from Ukraine and Russia gathered at the headquarters of the Russian Navy, Mavi, who was in charge of this related matter, would naturally be present.

As soon as he appeared, he said to the 28 scientists straight to the point, "Thank you, put aside the existing research at hand, and come to participate in this joint meeting organized by our Russian Navy and the Ukrainian Navy." ”

"Before I came, I think you have heard that we in Russia and Ukraine intend to work together to develop a fourth-generation aircraft carrier. Replacement for the active Kuznetsov. Therefore, all of you here can freely talk about what constructive opinions you have on the new generation of aircraft carriers, or the difficulties you may encounter, and you can put forward them now. ”

Mavi knew that all the people present were top minds and valuable talents from Ukraine and Russia. He will not use pedantic bureaucracy to deliberately suppress scientists and assert his power.

The 28 scientists present also knew Ma Wei's name and knew his style of doing things. So some scientists, after careful weighing, decided to tell him the truth.

"Mr. Mavi, for the 4th generation aircraft carrier, I think the problem we may have is that the Kuznetsov was originally designed according to the standards of carrier-borne heavy cruisers. So to be honest, our technical research on aircraft carriers has actually taken some detours and deviated from the actual definition of aircraft carriers. A scientist from Ukraine said boldly to Mavi.

If his remarks had entered the ears of some pedantic and tyrannical elites, he would probably have been immediately excluded from the list. And suffer from lifelong snow hiding. But obviously, with the image that Ma Wei has established in recent years, scientists know that he is not that kind of person. Everything is based on hard work and the completion of tasks, and there is no bureaucracy.

"Dr. Iger, this is a very good suggestion you made, but what about the others? He also knows that Russia does not have a real aircraft carrier at all, but considering the occasion, it is necessary to encourage scientists to speak enthusiastically.

"Mr. Ma Wei, when it comes to the aircraft carrier's deviation from its original intention, I also agree with this. Looking at the 1st generation aircraft carrier of the former Soviet Union, the Moskva, it is a helicopter carrier. With a full load displacement of only 11,490 tons, a length of 186.4 meters, a beam of 20.8 meters, and a draft of 8.4 meters, the ship is powered by an all-fuel combined power unit and is equipped with six gas turbines with a total power of 79.38 MW......"

"The second-generation aircraft carrier, Minsk, belongs to the first class of aircraft carriers carrying fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft. A total of 33 aircraft were carried and equipped with 4 twin SS-N-12 anti-ship missile launchers...... The first, second, and third generation aircraft carriers can only be said to be the products of the former Soviet Union in the development of aircraft carriers in order to accumulate experience. If you need to develop a truly powerful aircraft carrier, the task may not be as simple as you think. ”

……

Based on the direct leader Ma Wei, listen to the truth, not flattery. Therefore, the scientists present have added some difficult problems in the actual situation.

The general conclusion is that due to the problems left over from history, the leaders of the former Soviet Union did not attach importance to the construction of aircraft carriers. On the contrary, they prefer anti-ship missiles, nuclear weapons research. This has made the development of naval aircraft carriers very slow. However, the research results of aircraft carriers are not achieved overnight.

So in the end, if the government wants to restart the aircraft carrier research and development project, it will require a lot of money and patience. It doesn't have to be a year or two to achieve significant results.

Ma Wei listened carefully to the speeches of the scientists present, and then shook his head and said in public, "No matter how many difficulties there are, we must develop a real aircraft carrier." Rather than the so-called substitutes, to fill the numbers. ”

"Let's keep it simple. If it were to be built, it would be 320 meters long and 93 meters wide...... How much money does an aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 80,000 tons need, and how much time is there?" Ma Wei asked the scientists bluntly.

As a reborn, he naturally knew that many of these technical difficulties required a lot of effort to overcome. But there is no choice. At present, they have only one half-toned Kuznetsov in the Russian Navy, with a full load displacement of only 60,000 tons.

Looking at the U.S. Navy, as early as the Second World War, the Americans had 56 aircraft carrier formations. Such a terrifying number can kill several times the total number of aircraft carriers in the world except for the United States.

Not only that, but in terms of aircraft carrier quality, the American "Kitty Hawk-class" aircraft carriers, "Nimitz" class aircraft carriers, and even the latest "Ford-class" aircraft carriers entered service in 2017. That ability to fight at sea, absolutely very aggressive.

The performance data of the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier is the 80,000-ton full load displacement mentioned by Ma Wei just now. As for the "Nimitz" class and "Ford-class" aircraft carriers, they are all nuclear-powered aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 100,000 tons. The number of carrier-based aircraft reached 80 aircraft, respectively, and 85 fixed-wing aircraft. It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of momentum alone, the aircraft carriers of other countries have lost a lot.

After listening to Ma Wei's question, the 28 scientists present exchanged glances one after another, revealing a trace of complicated expressions. They knew what Ma Wei was asking, how to develop a mothership that could rival the U.S. Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers.
