Ma Wei thought seriously for a moment, and then said something that surprised Admiral Petrovi, "In this way, Your Excellency Admiral! In order to express my gratitude to your country, when the new generation of aircraft carriers is successfully developed, I think the Ukrainian Navy will have its own aircraft carrier! And there is no need to bear any construction costs." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Admiral Petrovi on the other end of the phone, and the whole person was stunned for a moment! He instantly understood what Ma Wei meant. For the Ukrainian Navy, it does not want to have its own aircraft carrier battle group, that's fake.

It's a pity that the conditions really don't allow it, so they do it. However, if someone sponsors it, that is another matter! I believe that based on this premise, the voices within the country that oppose the joint development of aircraft carriers will be much smaller.

"Mavi, are you serious?" asked Admiral Petrovi, confirming Mavi. The allure of a new generation of aircraft carriers is too strong. It's just that the cost will be at least more than 500 million US dollars, which is not a small amount.

"Seriously, of course, Admiral Petrovi. Ma Wei said calmly on the phone. This amount of money is perhaps a very large amount for the Ukrainian Navy. But for Ma Wei now, it's just a small amount of money.

In order to smoothly develop a new generation of aircraft carriers, in order to consolidate relations between Ukraine and Russia, he came out. Think of it as a technology investment. After all, people in Ukraine helped, and they didn't ask Russia to charge. It is appropriate to give a subsidy (500 million US dollars to buy aircraft carrier technology, which is a very good deal).

When the aircraft carrier is successfully developed, this money can be fully earned. Including the technology of building aircraft carriers, Russia can also be proficient. And the Russian Navy, on the other hand, will also contribute half, which was agreed before.

Three days later, a reply came from the headquarters of the Ukrainian Navy, saying that through their efforts, they had increased the number of scientists from 1~2 to 12. With this professional team of scientists, I believe that the research and development of a new generation of aircraft carriers should not be a problem.

"Mavi, our 12 scientists from Ukraine, will arrive in you tomorrow in Russia. "Admiral Petrovi, arrange everything. The reason why the negotiation was able to be successfully concluded so quickly this time is due to his credit.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Admiral! I'll come to Ukraine another day, and I'll treat you to a drink!" Ma Wei said on the phone gratefully. 500 million US dollars, buy the latest aircraft carrier technology, this will not be a loss.

After all, it is impossible for some countries to buy this kind of military secret, even if they spend 1 billion or 1.5 billion. If it weren't for Russia and Ukraine in this life, they would still be allies. Otherwise, Ma Wei would not have been able to talk about things so smoothly.

In the previous life, because of the stiff relationship with Ukraine, until 2019, there was no new generation of aircraft carriers in service (the technology was mainly in Ukraine).

There is only the old Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. And the entire aircraft carrier is rusty and has undergone 8 major repairs. I'm really afraid that one day one day one will accidentally sink suddenly. That's a joke for the whole world......

"You're welcome, Mavi, we have to thank you for the truth!" General Petrovi is also a real man. If it weren't for Mavi's proposal, I'm afraid that their Ukrainian Navy would only have aircraft carrier technology, and it would only rot it and do nothing.

In the long run, once there is a technical fault and there is no new progress, it will also mean that it will be eliminated by the times.

……

On the afternoon of the next day, 12 aircraft carrier scientists who flew to Russia from Ukraine appeared on time at the naval headquarters in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The research and development of a new generation of aircraft carriers this time has been greatly valued. Even more important than the development of the 4th generation strategic nuclear submarine decided by the Russian Navy some time ago. After all, Russia, there is only the technology to build submarines. Lack of R&D capabilities related to aircraft carriers.

To this end, the headquarters of the Russian Navy urgently transferred 16 nautical scientists from all over the world. Together with the Ukrainian team, we will work together to develop the "Soviet" fourth-generation aircraft carrier.

The reason why it is said that the "Soviet" fourth-generation aircraft carrier is because the predecessor of Ukraine and Russia was the Soviet Union. And this so-called fourth-generation aircraft carrier sounds like a fourth-generation fighter and a fourth-generation nuclear submarine.

But in reality, it's far from it.

The history of the development of aircraft carriers in the Soviet Union can be described as several ups and downs. In the era of superpowers, the former Soviet Union once had the second most powerful navy in the world, and it competed fiercely with the U.S. Navy in the world's oceans. However, in the field of aircraft carriers, the former Soviet Union is very different from the United States.

This gap was not bridged until the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Not to mention that the current Russia will not be able to have aircraft carriers comparable to the United States in a short period of time.

As early as the beginning of the 20th century, when aircraft carriers first emerged, Tsarist Russia planned to build aircraft carriers with a speed of 30 knots, but this was not achieved due to the outbreak of the First World War.

After the October Revolution, the former Soviet Union planned to build one aircraft carrier during the Third Five-Year Plan period, starting in 1938. But the flames of World War II once again aborted the plan. After the war, the former Soviet Union had a plan to build a "big fleet" of aircraft carriers, but the death of the president once again failed the plan.

In the previous life, the USSR did not turn around until the 60s. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the former Soviet Union suffered the hardship of not having aircraft carriers, and in order to deal with the threat posed by the US "Polaris" ballistic missile submarine at that time, it was imperative to develop aircraft carriers.

The new commander-in-chief of the Navy, with great efforts, managed to convince the President of the USSR to develop the first generation of aircraft carriers, "Moskva" and "Leningrad".

Speaking of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was the closest humanity came to annihilation in a previous life. It is the greatest danger in human history caused by the United States and the Soviet Union. Fortunately, the extinction was forcibly stopped at the last moment, otherwise the fate of the entire earth may really be like a science fiction movie, in the end of nuclear radiation and nuclear pollution, and gradually decline......

The Cuban Missile Crisis exposed the shortcomings of the Soviet Union in terms of missiles and navy inferior to those of the United States, and this was also an important reason why the Soviet Union finally retreated to the United States. Based on this, the Soviet Union vigorously developed nuclear weapons and a navy, and finally temporarily caught up with the United States in the 70s.

On the surface, however, it seems that the former Soviet Union lost to the United States. But there are some details that have been overlooked. That is, at the beginning, the United States deployed medium-range nuclear missiles against the Soviet Union in Italy and Turkey.

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.
