Chapter 341: Please Come and Visit Us! One more

Zhang San and Li Si did not show up this time, the work they are engaged in in Russia is actually risky, if they have frequent contact with Ye Kai, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be discovered by the Russian intelligence department. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ//《》《》//

Although Russia's intelligence services are no longer comparable to the previous KGB, there are still some elites among them, and once these people can operate normally, they will still pose a great threat to foreigners, especially for their colleagues who are engaged in intelligence work.

Being abroad, Ye Kai must act carefully to save himself unnecessary trouble.

But when the crowd arrived, they quickly dispersed.

Zhong Liyu has her own place to go, her task is to do a good job in economic matters, anyway, with the general principles and operation plan explained by Ye Kai, Zhong Liyu should be relatively easy to deal with these things with the help of her attaché.

Anyway, the economic situation in Russia is bad now, and it is a good time to take advantage of the chaos.

Xie Junyu's task is also simple, he will work with the local comrades in Moscow to do a good job in security work, that is, to be responsible for Ye Kai's peripheral security, and clear possible obstacles for him.

As for Wang Luodan, she follows Ye Kai left and right, acting as a technical advisor, and she can come in handy when dealing with ships in the future.

In fact, the domestic navy has a lot in common with the Soviet and Russian navies, so it is convenient to get acquainted with, not to mention that Wang Luodan is an expert in this area, especially for submarines and the like, he has a considerable degree of attainment.

It is worth mentioning that Ye Kai met with Admiral Meilo, commander of the Black Sea Fleet, on the outskirts of Moscow.

Admiral Meilo is about fifty years old, and his military temperament is more obvious, but his belly is a little big, and his face is red, like the color of being frozen red in winter, and this skin color is also common in Ukraine.

Unlike men, there are a lot of beautiful women in Ukraine, and the overall standard is quite high.

The female officer who followed Admiral Meilo was in her early twenties, tall, with long blond hair and chestnut eyes, technically speaking, the figure data was completely in line with the golden ratio, which really surprised Ye Kai.

"Hello Comrade Admiral." Ye Kai warmly expressed his respect to Admiral Meielo, and directly sent two cases of top-quality vodka. &*．《》． Fastest Update**

When the old man saw this gift, he immediately became very happy and his attitude became much more enthusiastic.

Ye Kai was able to meet with Admiral Meilo, but he was able to invite him out only with the help of Major Bout's father-in-law, General Zyuanov.

"Mr. Ye is really polite, give me such a precious gift." After Admiral Meielo accepted the gift, he asked, "I wonder what Mr. Ye asks of me?" ”

"It's not a requirement, it's just a business." Ye Kai said directly.

"Say, dear sir." Surprisingly, Admiral Meilo did not refuse, but asked with some interest.

Although Ye Kai was a little surprised, he did not exceed his expectations.

Because the existence of the Black Sea Fleet is indeed very problematic today, and the position of Admiral Meielo is also very awkward.

The Black Sea Fleet was founded in 1785 under Catherine II, and together with the Baltic Fleet and the Far Eastern Okhotsk Fleet, it formed a unified and powerful Tsarist Russian navy, which at that time was the third largest naval force in the world.

In its more than 200-year history, the Black Sea Fleet has participated in the Crimean War and the First World War.

During the Great Patriotic War, he participated in the defense of Sevastopol and Odessa, and gradually developed into one of the four major fleets of the former Soviet Union.

During the Cold War, the strategic task of the Black Sea Fleet was to control the Turkish Straits and go out of the Mediterranean Sea to deal with the US Navy's 6th Fleet; disrupting oil routes in Europe and sea lines of communication from the United States to Asia; cross the Strait of Gibraltar, enter the Atlantic, and encircle Europe from the southern flank; Support for the Indian Ocean Detachment.

At the time of the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the Black Sea Fleet had a total of 833 large and small ships, including 45 large surface ships, 28 submarines, more than 150 aircraft, 85 carrier-based helicopters, and a large number of coastal and air defense equipment, with a total strength of about 80,000 troops.

The Black Sea Fleet was the only all-weather fleet in the former Soviet Navy that was not afraid of a frozen siege, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea Fleet became the primary target of contention between Russia and Ukraine.

Since there has not been a single result until now, resulting in the status and belonging of the fleet being unclear, the Black Sea Fleet is still flying the flag of the former Soviet Navy.

In other words, this Admiral Meilo is still the admiral of the "Soviet Union" that no longer exists, and has no legal subordinate relationship with Russia and Ukraine.

As a result, Admiral Meilo's position is more awkward, and he is now not even able to receive a salary, because the country of origin is unknown, and no one wants to pay the Black Sea Fleet.

In fact, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the question of the ownership of the Black Sea Fleet has always been a difficult problem that has plagued the development of Russian-Ukrainian relations.

In October last year, the Supreme Soviet of Ukraine adopted a decision to transfer the Black Sea Fleet to Ukraine.

Just on April 5 of this year, Ukrainian President Kravchuk signed an order "On the transfer of the Black Sea Fleet to the administrative jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine." Two days later, on April 7, Russian President Boris Yeltsin issued an order "on the transfer of the Black Sea ship fleet to the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation."

Such conflicting orders naturally caused the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Meilo, to feel an incomparably headache.

If the Black Sea Fleet is only composed of Russians or Ukrainians, it is also convenient, and it is okay to decide whether to stay or go according to ethnic affiliation, but this has always been a fleet that is responsible for ethnic relations, and there are many Russians and Ukrainians, so Admiral Meillo is at a loss.

In fact, the biggest headache for him is the issue of military spending, such a large fleet costs a lot of money every day! If you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, Admiral Meilo now scratches his head a little when he sees the quartermaster's bitter face.

Now, however, Admiral Meilo has also received definite information that Yeltsin and Kravchuk will meet in Dagomes later this month to end this "command war" and that the two sides will sign an agreement on the further development of relations between the countries.

It is estimated that the final result will be that the Black Sea Fleet will become a joint fleet of Russia and Ukraine, under the joint command of the two countries.

Admiral Meilo also knows that even so, the Black Sea Fleet is still facing a very serious situation, one is a financial problem, the other is a territorial dispute, which will not allow the fleet to develop with peace of mind, and even maintain it will be very difficult.

In terms of funds, neither Russia nor Ukraine is rich, and the result of this bargaining can only lead to the Black Sea Fleet's ships not being repaired and the soldiers not being paid in a timely manner.

And on the issue of the location of the Russian fleet and the Ukrainian Navy after the division, it is also difficult for the two sides to reach an agreement.

The focus of the disagreement is Russia's insistence that the Russian fleet should continue to use Sevastopol as its main base and headquarters, while Ukraine insists that Sevastopol should become its naval headquarters and base, that Russia can only rent some coastal military facilities, and that the Russian fleet can be stationed in other port cities on the Black Sea coast.

In order to ensure that the strategically important city of Sevastopol continues to serve as a naval base on the Russian Black Sea coast and to maintain the military-strategic role of a complete maritime force in the divided Russian fleet, the Russian side will not budge an inch on this issue. Russian President Boris Yeltsin has stressed on many occasions that Russia will not change its position on this issue.

The Ukrainian side stressed that the issue of stationing the Russian fleet and the Ukrainian navy is no longer a "military issue", but a "territorial issue".

If Sevastopol is completely placed under the control of the Russian fleet, the situation on the Crimean peninsula, where ethnic Russians are the majority, could get out of control.

The escalating dispute between Russia and Ukraine over the Black Sea Fleet is in fact a reflection of the difficulties that have been made for the smooth development of bilateral relations since the collapse of the Soviet Union, plagued by many difficulties in territory, debt, and dual citizenship. The dispute over the fleet itself directly involves the division of the property left over from the former Soviet Union, territorial disputes, the military strategic interests of the two countries, and the future of ethnic Russians in Ukraine.

It can be expected that in the future talks between the two countries, the two presidents will only talk to themselves, and the attitude of the Black Sea Fleet will not be respected, and Admiral Meilo's visit to Moscow this time is actually to meet with Russian President Yeltsin and explain to him the current situation of the Black Sea Fleet.

But since he came, there has been no shadow of Yeltsin.

This made Admiral Meilo feel a little angry and a little disappointed, the Soviet Union is falling, but everyone is still comrades who fought together, right?! Yeltsin was also a figure who came out of the Soviet political arena at the beginning, but now he has turned his face and does not recognize people, and he is too unsympathetic.

The appearance of Ye Kai surprised Admiral Meilo a little, but he got information from General Zyuanov and knew that this young man's status was very noble and he was the heir of an important family of the republic.

Moreover, it is said that he was very rich, at least that's what General Zyuanov hinted at.

"On behalf of our country's East Sea Fleet, I would like to formally extend an invitation to the Soviet Black Sea Fleet led by Comrade General General to lead the fleet to visit the Republic." Ye Kai's words made Admiral Meielo feel a little surprised when he heard it.

"This kind of thing shouldn't be an invitation from a private person, right?" Admiral Meillo expressed doubts.

"All the fees were allocated from my account, and I naturally made the invitation." Ye Kai naturally said the reason.

Admiral Meielo looked at Ye Kai, surprised in his heart, couldn't guess what Ye Kai wanted to do?

In short, it is absolutely impossible to be as simple as being invited to a free trip.
