444 Go to China to build an aircraft carrier

Lin Zhenhua's voice shouted, not to mention startling the people around him, even he felt a little abrupt, but he didn't regret it at all. At this moment, he just wanted to shout out this sentence loudly, yes, KC million dollars! If the Americans dare to raise the price, he will not hesitate to shout out the high price of 10,000.

Just now, when they heard Tuchinov say that "the Red Navy is finished," Lin Zhenhua, Chen Tian, and Liu Xianghai all couldn't help but burst into tears. Although the Soviet army has been a great threat to China since the 60s, the collapse of the Soviet army should be a cause for Chinese to celebrate. But seeing a huge empire fall to the ground like this, Lin Zhenhua and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy.

If you use 10,000 US dollars to retain the glory of the former Soviet Union in your memory, Lin Zhenhua will not refuse.

"Young man, are you Chinese or Japanese? Please don't disturb my deal with this gentleman. Tuchinov's wine had not yet woken up, he looked at Lin Zhenhua and said in a slightly annoyed tone. In his opinion, Lin Zhenhua must have come to stir up the situation, and it is impossible to buy a medal for $1 million.

Lin Zhenhua said: "I am a Chinese, Academician Tuchinov, you should know that Chinese speak with credit." I repeat, I'm willing to give 10,000! ”

"Are you crazy?" Tuchinov was stunned, he really couldn't see a mischievous expression on Lin Zhenhua's face.

"Tuchinov, do you remember me?" Liu Xianghai walked out of Lin Zhenhua and stood in front of Turchinov.

"You ・・・・・・" Tuchinov's eyes widened, he looked Liu Xianghai up and down, for a long time, his lips moved slightly, and his eyes showed a look of surprise, joy, shyness and gloom.

"Are you ・・・・・・Andre?" The memory finally returned to Tuchinov's mind, and he recognized the classmate friend from more than 30 years ago from Liu Xianghai's sincere gaze.

"It's me, I'm Andre!" Liu Xianghai opened his arms and hugged Tuchynov tightly.

Seeing this scene of old friends meeting each other, the onlookers knew that the trade of medals would definitely not be done. Without waiting for anyone else to say anything, the American shrugged his shoulders and quietly disappeared. The other Russians talked to each other and returned to their tables in twos and threes.

After Liu Xianghai hugged Turchinov, he began to introduce Chen Tian and Lin Zhenhua to him. When Lin Zhenhua was introduced, Tuchinov said to Lin Zhenhua in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, Lin, I didn't know ...... just now."

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Tuchinov, what I said just now was serious. If you want to transfer your gold steering wheel medal, I'm willing to pay 10,000 dollars. ”

"Andrey, what's going on?" Tuccinov turned his head to Liu Xianghai and asked.

Liu Xianghai looked around and said, "Tuchinov, let's talk in another place." Or let's go to Mr. Savev's house, just like in the past. ”

Tuchinov hesitated for a moment, nodded, he pulled his wife Liusha and said to her: "Liusha, you go buy some wine and food, Teacher Savev's family is not very rich, don't let him break the bank."

"But ・・・・・・ family doesn't have much money anymore." Liu Sha said in a small voice.

It's not that Liu Sha is stingy, it's really difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. In the past six months, prices have risen too fast, and many people's few savings have shrunk seriously due to soaring prices, and the increase in wages is far from keeping up with the pace of prices, so most working families are currently in a state of struggle. It's too shabby to invite friends who haven't seen each other for more than 30 years to have a meal, and if you want to be grand, I'm afraid that half a month's food expenses at home will be wasted. As a housewife, she had to hesitate.

The whispers of the two of them, Lin Zhenhua could see it clearly on the side. He stepped forward and said to Tuchinov: "Academician Tuchinov, you don't have to arrange anything, leave this matter to me." ”

"You ......" Tuchinov.

"I am a friend of Lao Liu, in the words of us Chinese, the group of people who got rich first. Shall I arrange dinner, what do you think? Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.

The group left the bar and walked towards Sawiev's house. Lin Zhenhua called Ke Yungen, who was secretly protecting them, at the door of the bar, and whispered a few words to him. Ke Yungen was stunned for only a second, and then flew away, Liu Xianghai had previously explained that Chen Tian and Lin Zhenhua were both leaders, and the guards had to obey their words. ..., the people came to Savev's house and sat down as guests. Saviev asked about Turchinov's going to sell medals, and then reprimanded him in a face-wrenching manner. Although Tuchinov is already a great scientist who has achieved fame, he is still quite well-behaved in front of the teacher, and he does not dare to fight back when he is scolded.

"Okay, teacher, Tuchinov is just confused for a while, so don't scold him." Liu Xianghai had to come out to play the round, he said: "I haven't seen you for more than 30 years, let's talk about something happy." By the way, does Sergei also live in this courtyard, can you call him over too, so that our people can be gathered? ”

"Sergey......" Saviev and Tuccinov glanced at each other, and their tones became low.

"How?" Liu Xianghai was stunned for a moment, he noticed the strangeness in the expressions of the two people, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Sergei?" ”

"Sergey・・・・・・ he died." Tuchinov said with his head bowed.

"Dead!" Liu Xianghai was shocked, "This is impossible!" Before I left China, I had specifically inquired about him, but there was no news about his illness, so how could he have died? ”

Tuchinov took a deep breath, spit out a long breath, and then said slowly: "He committed suicide." Just last week, he had a nervous breakdown when he heard that the Navy's last aircraft carrier was also being decommissioned. He locked himself in the lab for a day and a night. When his assistant forced the door open and entered, he was found dead. He killed himself with a silver pistol that Khrushchev personally rewarded him. ”

"How so! How so! Liu Xianghai burst into tears and said the same sentence over and over again.

"Sergey, like me, has done only one thing in his life, and that is to design aircraft carriers. The aircraft carrier is his life, and it is also my life. If the aircraft carrier is gone, his life should be over. "Andrey, you know, Sergei is a very paranoid person. Over the years, both of us have been designing aircraft carriers, and he advocates glide takeoff, while I insist on catapult takeoff. We have been arguing for 30 years, from being young to graying temples. However, everything is so ridiculous, and before we can argue with a result, the USSR no longer has aircraft carriers, and all arguments are meaningless. ”

"Is there no one to blame for his death?" Liu Xianghai asked hatefully.

Tuchinov asked rhetorically: "Who is responsible?" It is those who bring down the Soviet Union that are responsible. There is no longer more than one person like Sergei who committed suicide because he had no hope for the future, and there are already several friends I know. ”

Speaking of this, he laughed with some self-deprecation: "Actually, I should go with him too, maybe we should go to God and continue our quarrel." However, I lacked the courage to be like him, so I had to numb myself with alcohol every day. ”

"Tuccinov, you must not leave me and the children behind." Lyusa tearfully took Tuchinov's hand and said, in fact, since she learned the news of Sergei's suicide, Lyusa has been hanging in her heart, for fear that her husband will also embark on this desperate road.

"No, Liusha, I won't kill myself." Tuchinov patted the back of Lyusha's hand and said, "Okay, I'm tired, and for the rest of my life, I will never touch a duckbill pen again." Liu Sha, let's go to the countryside, I will be a good laborer. ”

Liu Xianghai said: "Tuchinov, you shouldn't be so shy. You are the best aircraft carrier designer in the whole world, and you can't give up your profession. ”

Tuchinov said: "Andrey, it's not that I'm depressed, but I know that it will be impossible for Russia to build another aircraft carrier in at least 20 years."

What does 20 years mean for someone of our age? I tried to persuade the Ministry of Defense to come up with some money to at least maintain a research platform to ensure that the knowledge and experience of our people could be passed on, but the Ministry of Defense refused, citing the lack of a budget. ”

Liu Xianghai said: "Tuchinov, I have heard about the situation in Russia. I'm actually here to find you and Sergey, and I want to invite the two of you to China and help us build aircraft carriers. ”

"To China?" Turchinov glanced at Lin Zhenhua meaningfully and said, "Is this why you are willing to pay 10,000 dollars to buy the medal in my hand?" ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly and said, "Academician Tuchinov, your value is more than 10,000 dollars." ”

Liu Xianghai said: "Tuchinov, Xiaolin is right, you are worth more than 10,000 dollars. If you are willing to work in China, you can ask for whatever you want. Of course, '10,000 US dollars' may be difficult to reach at present, after all, China is a developing country and its military spending is very limited. However, an annual salary of $5 to $100,000, I think, should be achievable. ”

Hearing this price, Liu Sha's eyes lit up. $5 to $00,000, which is much more than the nouveau riche Anatoly earned. However, Lyusa didn't know what her husband thought, and she didn't dare to intervene in such a major matter, but the hand that grabbed Tuchinov tighter.

Tuchinov couldn't feel his wife's carefulness, he smiled bitterly, turned his head to Saviev and said, "Teacher, what is your opinion?" "To be continued.
