The third more

Minister Myratt received the news of the visit of the Soviet delegation to China on the first day of his arrival in the Soviet Union, and at first he did not care. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It wasn't until the Soviet delegation was sitting down at the negotiating table that Myrat realized that the whole thing was not as simple as he thought. It was as if Moscow had deliberately set a trap to meet the Indian delegation, a trap that the Indian delegation would step on.

Before the negotiations began, Minister Myratt also received information from the Ministry of Defense that China was making an arms sale with Pakistan, and according to credible intelligence, it could be the sale of new submarines to replace the old models. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Myrat.

Therefore, on the issue of selling the improved version of the 1134A Kresta II class cruiser, Minister Myratt already had a price point in mind that he thought the other party would be satisfied with. So when Myratt held out five fingers, he thought the other party was joking. Yazov asked, "You mean $5 million?" ”

"No, $50 million." "Buy second-hand Soviet ships that have not yet been converted, as well as SA-N-7 Hurricane anti-aircraft missiles, and buy them separately." ”

Minister Myratt thought very clearly, if a brand new ship was purchased, the Soviet Union would definitely slaughter it. But if he himself offered to buy a second-hand ship, then Yazov would have no reason to raise the price any longer. What's more, he is full of confidence in the renovation of India's shipyard, and last year India also carried out a joint manufacturing program with the Soviet Union for anti-ship missiles at sea.

Yazov knew in an instant what the other party was thinking, he wanted to buy a second-hand Type 1134A cruiser, and then modernize it himself, so that Yazov was not optimistic about this at all, with the Soviet Union's military dock construction strength, it may really turn into a pile of scrapped scrap metal for tens of millions in the end.

Yazov wanted to dissuade Minister Myrat's stupidity, but he swallowed back the words as soon as he came to his lips. Perhaps no matter how much he dissuades him, he will not be able to stop the Indian Defense Minister from making a fool's decision. What's more, if they really want to do this, then the final cost of the overhaul and the purchase of new ships will still be paid by the Ministry of Defense.

"Since it is a second-hand ship, there is no reason for the USSR to sell it to India for fifty million." At this time, Yazov finally reported good news to the other party, "Since India wants to buy it, we are willing to sell it to the Indian Navy at a price of 25 million ships, which can be regarded as support for the development of the Indian Navy." ”

Minister Myrat's words were very surprising to Minister Azov, as if he had picked up a bargain, and the price of a single ship was half the price. Of course, Minister Myratt tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart and said unhurriedly, "Then I would also like to thank Minister Yazov for his strong support for the development of the Indian Navy on behalf of the Indian Navy. ”

Yazov did not speak, just smiled and nodded. Who doesn't know that Yazov still has a back hand. When India found out that the modification was a bottomless pit, in the end it was the Soviet Union who was responsible for wiping their butts. That's why Yazov was not in a hurry at all, and even took the initiative to lower the price to make India look as if it was taking advantage of it.

In fact, India is just being cheated again.

After signing a series of contracts, India has finally completed the arms procurement project, and for Minister Myratt, the outcome is happy. He believed that the Soviet Union did not take advantage of itself, but on the contrary, it suffered a heavy loss. In addition to suffering losses on the issue of the Su-30MKI, but in fact the Nanucika-class destroyers have already made up for the losses.

Yazov just shook his head regretfully at Minister Myrat's self-comfort, he really didn't know how these people got into the position of Minister of Defense, he was only looking forward to the next visit of the Indian Navy, Yazov believed that India simply did not have the ability to transform a 1134A cruiser. In the end, apart from returning to the factory for reconstruction, Yazov didn't know what the outcome would be. As a target ship? Yazov does not think that the Indian Navy has the courage to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy target ships to go back.

Yazov even prepared domestic shipyards for larger orders, and this time the arms sales were almost more than 1.5 billion US dollars, but Yazov specially asked the Nikolaev shipyard designers to calculate how much budget would be spent if India failed to improve the cruiser.

As a result, the designers of the Nikolaev shipyard came to the conclusion that don't change it, hurry up and buy a few new ones. The amount of money that India spends on refitting ships is far more exaggerated than buying a new one.

"If the Indians want to make a fuss, let the other side go, and I can't stop that." Yanayev was very eager to see India finally turn around and whisper a plea to the Soviet Union. With the exception of Iran, which in 2012 completed the replacement of Russian-made Kilo-class submarines with domestic components, it seems that Yanayev has not yet seen a successful example from India.

"We have already indicated in the contract that in the future in the event of any problems with these cruisers, Soviet shipyards would provide paid repair services. Minister Myratt also seems pleased that we are willing to have after-sales service ready for them. It's just that he doesn't know how much of India's budget will be wasted on these cruisers next. ”

There seemed to be a hint of sneer in Yazov's voice, and he didn't know whether to laugh at India's incompetence or at their stupidity and money.

"However, the Soviet Union's recent arms sales budget has reached a very alarming level, and the Red Navy, the Army and the Air Force have sufficient funds to an enviable level." What Yazov has always admired is General Secretary Yanaev's plan. He always found an opportunity to intervene in regional disputes around the world, and he was able to generate a significant amount of arms revenue for the Soviet Union.

"Well, but this money is not prepared for the military budget."

When Yanayev's gaze looked at the pines and cypresses outside the window, it was a little far-reaching. He seemed to be thinking about something else, and even Yazov couldn't figure out what Yanayev was thinking.

In international politics, Yanayev's steady counterattack has allowed the Soviet Union to gain a firm foothold in the international situation, and when the external environment has stabilized, Yanayev began to implement the second part of the reform. From the initial activation of the economic system to the current development of the Far East, Yanayev led the Soviet Union to rejuvenation as a key step.

"The money is for the creation of wealth, and I promised to give the people a bright future."

Yanayev's tone was somewhat unclear, but Yazov could hear that there was something deeper in his words.

"It's now." (To be continued.) )
