Maybe he heard the sound of parking in the courtyard, and out of the house of the Fang family's villa was a majestic soldier, who was **, the commander of the major general of the Yazhou Naval Base. However, now ** has been transferred to the South China Sea Fleet Headquarters as deputy chief of staff, and there are even rumors in the army that the Military Commission is already considering promoting him to lieutenant general at the right time.

"Uncle Zhao, why are you here?Why didn't you say hello in advance?" Fang Mingyuan pushed open the car door and said in surprise.

**daxiao stepped forward, looked Fang Mingyuan up and down, and said: "Good boy, this head has grown again! Well, now it looks like a big boy! I came to Qinxi Province to do business not a few years ago, so I came to see you by the way! Uh, you kid, you have a beautiful company!"

Fang Mingyuan smiled and introduced Aso Xiangyue and Uda Mitsuri to **, ** was also full of surprise when he heard it. After the introduction, Aso Kazuki and Uda Mitsuri entered the villa first, leaving ** and Fang Mingyuan outside.

** looked at the sky and proposed: "Mingyuan, the weather is good today, the sun is shining, let's go around outside, how about it?"

Fang Mingyuan naturally would not refuse, obviously, **'s coming, I'm afraid it's not as simple as he said, it's just to do things, and the reason why he didn't enter the house to talk in detail is probably because he is not at ease with the two daughters of Aso Kazuki and Uda Mitsuri.

The two of them walked along the path in the courtyard to the backyard, where there was a small door that led to the mountain behind the courtyard. The two of them went out of the small gate and walked along the path in the field in the direction of the mountain. And not far behind them, four people followed unhurriedly.

Fang Mingyuan and ** chatted casually, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Fortunately, you helped us at the beginning, and that money, and those projects later, solved a big problem for us!" ** said with deep emotion, "A few months ago, our South China Sea Fleet took the lead in the exercise and suppressed the North Sea Fleet. ”

Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, I don't dare to be arrogant. I didn't help much, but I got a lot of benefits from it, so it's a win-win for us!"

** He patted Fang Mingyuan's shoulder with a smile and said, "You kid, being too modest is pride! Commander Lou Zhinian Lou of our South China Sea Fleet, Deputy Commander Xiao Yuxin, wants me to see you, and I want to treat you well." "If it weren't for the fact that when Fang Mingyuan developed Yalong Bay in Yazhou, he gave the South China Sea Fleet a generous transfer fee, and also let the engineers of the South China Sea Fleet join the development work, and gave the South China Sea Fleet support funds in disguise, how could the South China Sea Fleet maintain high-intensity training compared with its brother troops, so as to shine last year?

As for the subsequent sharp rise in land prices in Yalong Bay, in the opinion of **, it is purely a matter of Fang Mingyuan's vision and foresight. That piece of land has been there for so long, no one has developed it, and they have bought it at a huge cost, neither lowering the price nor defaulting on the land requisition, as for what happened later, that is the ability of the people. Don't just see people eating meat, you can't see that there are still a lot of people being beaten. Nowadays, the real estate industry in Qionghai Province is in trouble, walking on the street, unfinished buildings abound.

Seeing that people make a lot of money, they feel that they have lost money, and they want to get a piece of the pie again, if that person loses, do you also have to compensate others? This kind of shameless thing, he can't do it.

Fang Mingyuan looked around, except for a few people who were not far away, there were no more idle people, and then he smiled: "Uncle Zhao, you can always talk about it now, what is the matter with me?"

** rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and said, "Why are you so sure, I must have something to find you?"

Fang Mingyuan smiled dumbly, you are the deputy chief of staff of the South China Sea Fleet with the rank of rear admiral, if there is no major event, you can come to Qinxi Province before the festival? Although there is also an army here, and there are a large number of military enterprises, there are not many people who have anything to do with the navy! Moreover, if you don't have anything serious to do, and you just want to catch up with yourself, is it necessary to avoid Aso Kazuki and Uda Mitsuri?

As soon as the words came out, looking at Fang Mingyuan's dumb smile, he knew that he was pure nonsense, and his face looked even more embarrassed.

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, let's not be dumb, what's the matter? If you can help, even for the sake of Uncle Zhao's face, I will definitely not push back!" Fang Mingyuan said solemnly.

** patted Fang Mingyuan's shoulder with emotion, and then said: "Mingyuan, are you in China, have you heard of the Varyag aircraft carrier of the former Soviet Union?"

Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then Lu suddenly realized.

Varyag aircraft carrier, this name that was haunted by many military mistresses who hoped for a strong motherland in his previous life, how could he not know.

The Varyag aircraft carrier was originally a Marshal Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier of the USSR Navy. Construction began at the end of 1985 and was launched three years later, but due to the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union, its later construction work was interrupted due to lack of funds and was classified as Ukrainian-owned. Russia later wanted to pay for the rest of the construction cost and take it back to Russia, but the Ukrainian side wanted the Russian government to buy it. As a result, the two sides quarreled for several years, and in the end, unable to continue the construction, the Ukrainian government decided to dismantle all the power systems, command systems and weapons systems on it, leaving only an empty shell, which was auctioned off as a scrap ship.

In '98, a company in Macau bought it for $20 million, but it was said to have cost more than $100 million. And on the way back to China, there were several ups and downs. It wasn't until four years later that he entered the territorial waters of China.

"What's the matter?, Uncle Zhao wants the Varyag aircraft carrier?" Fang Mingyuan asked softly.

"Yes! Of course I want to!" "Every officer and soldier of the navy is looking forward to the fact that the Chinese aircraft carrier squadron will be able to sail on the surface of the South China Sea and defend the motherland's maritime frontiers! With the aircraft carrier, China's territory in the South China Sea will no longer be a stage where Hong Kong can come and go at will! With the aircraft carrier, our Chinese Navy will truly take the first step from a near-water navy to a blue-water navy! I have been waiting for this day for a long, long time!"

Fang Mingyuan nodded knowingly, indeed, if China has an aircraft carrier formation, then it must first be assigned to the South China Sea Fleet to defend the South China Sea waters of the motherland! And if Vietnam, the Philippines, a small Southeast Asian country, wants to wantonly occupy the islands and reefs in the South China Sea, they must carefully consider the consequences!

"Then Uncle Zhao, how can I help?" Fang Mingyuan asked bluntly.

** rubbed his hands together and said with some embarrassment: "Money! The problem is that we don't have money!"

The empty shell of the Varyag aircraft carrier, the Ukrainian government also offered a high price of 20 million dollars. Although the domestic economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and the country's GDP has improved significantly, the country's financial situation is still not optimistic. The military budget allocated to the military is still overstretched. Moreover, considering that the equipment in the army has not been updated in a timely manner for many years, the living conditions of the soldiers have been improved, etc., and so on, there are many historical problems left over in all aspects that need to be solved urgently, and this military expenditure allocated every year cannot even do these things, so these 20 million US dollars have become a mountain that the military cannot climb through to purchase the Varyag aircraft carrier!

"Money is not a problem, but I think it is not enough to have money alone!" Fang Mingyuan nodded and shook his head again.

** Overjoyed, he grabbed Fang Mingyuan's hand and said, "If you have money, we can borrow it!" It's just that it may take a longer time to repay. ”

Fang Mingyuan withdrew his hand silently and said: "Uncle Zhao, it's not as simple as you think, two million dollars, for me, it's not such an amazing amount, let alone borrowing, it's a donation to you, as long as the relevant departments don't look at me unpleasantly, it's nothing." But have you ever thought that 20 million dollars can buy the aircraft carrier, but how can you ship it back? I have heard that it is just an empty shell, and the power system of the aircraft carrier has been dismantled by the Ukrainian side!"

**Silent, yes, you can't just buy it, you really have to ship it to China, this is really getting it.

"And Uncle Zhao, have you thought about it, the Varyag aircraft carrier is anchored in the Black Sea, and if you want to transport it back to China, you have to pass through the ......strait called Bose or something in Turkey," Fang Mingyuan continued.

"Bosphorus!also known as Istampur!" said.

"Yes, this is the strait. If I remember correctly, this strait should be long and narrow, with a total length of more than 30 kilometers, and the narrowest place, the width is less than a thousand meters, and this strait is a communication artery belonging to the sea, and the wind and waves are not small, and such a behemoth as the Varyag aircraft carrier, and without its own power system, is only pulled by tugboats, and it is probably not easy to pass there. Moreover, the relationship between the Turkish government and our country is not harmonious, and the Turks have always wanted to join NATO, if the Americans are stumbling on us behind our backs, I am afraid it will ......" Fang Mingyuan looked at **, smiled, and said no more.

** At this time, it is already sweating, since the Ukrainian president visited China at the beginning of the year and learned that the Varyag aircraft carrier may be obtained, everyone is worried about where this acquisition fee will come from, but they have not taken into account how many difficulties and obstacles there are in the Varyag aircraft carrier from the Black Sea to China. Fang Mingyuan is right, any one of these problems, once it becomes a reality, will add countless variables to the purchase of aircraft carriers.

Two million dollars, is that really enough?

At this time, the ** heart is no longer sure!
