It is now ninety-four years, and in history, the stormy Soviet Union had already completed the construction of the Kuznetsov and conducted sea trials when it collapsed in ninety-one years, and now, the progress has been pushed back by three years.

The reason is also lamentable, in order to develop the economy, the army chose forbearance, and the continuous reduction of military spending has slowed down the construction progress of such a money-burning machine as an aircraft carrier, but it has reduced military spending and invested in economic reform, but it is still a bottomless pit, and the living standards of the Soviet people have not improved, and now, it is still disintegrated.

The Soviet Union, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a huge state with 15 union republics, collapsed, and the republics declared their independence one after another, and at the same time began to inherit the Soviet legacy of their own industries.

In addition to Russia, the largest country in the country, due to the geographical location of the Soviet era, many military industries were established in Ukraine, like the largest Black Sea shipyard now, the only aircraft carrier construction base in the Soviet Union, has been owned by Ukraine.

The construction of the aircraft carrier stopped, and the director of the Black Sea Shipyard, Makarov, stood on the dock of the plant, looking at the entire shipyard that had been suspended, and his heart seemed to be as gray as the sky at this time.

The USSR, the Central Committee of the Party, the State Planning Commission, the Military-Industrial Commission and the nine Ministries of Defense Industry, these higher departments no longer exist, and the symbols of the maritime power of these countries, huge aircraft carriers, can no longer be built.

"Boom, boom." At this moment, in the distant sky, the roar of a helicopter sounded.

Makarov looked up and saw several Ka-28 carrier-based helicopters of the Navy, flying from a distance, which were simply erasing the pattern of Soviet sickles and axes. No new patterns were painted.

Where did this helicopter come from? Makarov looked at these helicopters, at this time, the whole country was in a state of chaos, and the army had no unified management, and these helicopters could fly at will.

I saw these helicopters heading straight for the Kuznetsov, which had only docked yesterday on the dock. The USSR collapsed, and Kuznetsov's sea trials also ended in a hurry, returning to the Black Sea shipyards.

On the bare deck, several helicopters landed, and Vice Admiral Uskimenko, deputy commander of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy, stepped off the helicopter and waved to the Russian officers and soldiers who remained on the warship: "Start the boiler and prepare to return!" ”

In order to divide the family property of the Soviet era, Da Mao and Er Mao also tore their faces. This Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, at the time of its construction, was intended to serve in the Northern Fleet, so Da Mao believes that this should be a warship of the Northern Fleet, but Ukraine, which has just disintegrated and become independent. To think that this warship is now at the Black Sea shipyard in Ukraine should be a Ukrainian warship!

With the national strength of Ukraine. Of course, I can't afford to raise this aircraft carrier, but I can sell this aircraft carrier to Russia again, so that I can get an income, and this is the intention of the Ukrainian government.

In the face of such a "rogue" behavior of the Ukrainian government, the Russian Navy, of course, does not agree. Now, as the main person responsible for dealing with this matter, Vice Admiral Uskimenko, deputy commander of the Northern Fleet, simply flew directly to the Kuznetsov!

The helicopters behind him were all fighters of the Navy Special Forces who jumped down.

The warship is at the stage of sea trials. It is already equipped with a crew, so that the personnel and equipment can be run in during the sea trial, and when it enters service, it can directly form combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the vice admiral of the Northern Fleet had personally come to the warship, the Russian officers and men on the ship immediately cheered.

"The Admiralty of the USSR has long decided that from the moment this warship comes out of the water, we will serve in the Northern Fleet, and most of the officers here are also from the Northern Fleet. According to the rules on the ship, each of us only has 5 minutes a day to talk to our families on the phone, and we are all looking forward to returning home as soon as possible. Kravchuk's desire to take away the aircraft carrier is simply wishful thinking! Major Stolchak couldn't help but say, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"Nope! The warship has not yet completed sea trials! Only here, at the Gugulayev shipyard! Otherwise, once something goes wrong, how can we fix it at sea? Another lieutenant colonel said.

The lieutenant colonel is of ethnic Ukrainian, he does not want to go to serve in the Northern Fleet, Ukraine is already independent, and he wants to stay in Ukraine.

The captain of the "Kuznetsov", Colonel Yarygin, stood on the bridge and looked at all this, there was a sadness in his heart, once they were loyal to the Soviets, and now the Soviets are gone, and the brothers at that time have now had differences, and this disagreement must be resolved by violent means!

"This warship originally belonged to the Northern Fleet, and if you don't want to stay on this warship, you can leave voluntarily!" Lieutenant General Uskimenko shouted loudly, and behind him, special forces with guns, stood in two rows, ready to suppress the disobedient Ukrainian guys.

Without manpower, it will be more difficult to navigate, but if these Ukrainian guys on the warship make trouble during the voyage, such as destroying the pressure reducing valve of a boiler, the boiler may explode under overpressure and lose the power system, and the warship can only go back to the Black Sea shipyard for refit.

Therefore, at this time, these unstable factors must be eliminated! As a last resort, Lieutenant General Uskimenko did not want to cause bloodshed, but he was mentally prepared.

This warship must be brought back to the Northern Fleet!

Fortunately, the confrontation did not happen, on the warship that was being tried at sea, no personal weapons were prepared for the officers and soldiers, and those locals of the Ukrainian ethnic group packed up their things and walked off the warship, and the rest were all officers and soldiers who were eager to return to Russia.

The chimney of the warship, smoke came out, the heavy oil boiler ignited, ready to return to the Northern Fleet.

"The director, the director, those Russians, are going to drive away the Kuznetsov!" A factory worker hurried over and said to Makarov.

Looking at this worker, Makarov felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, at this time, the other leaders in the factory were thinking about finding a way back for themselves, and they didn't care about the life or death of the factory, but these workers at the bottom still loved the factory like home.

It's a pity that the reality is cruel, the Soviet Union has disappeared, the Black Sea Shipyard is mainly engaged in the construction of warships, and the orders will also shrink significantly, perhaps, there will be no new orders in a few years, and the ones that are being built now will not be completed, and many workers in the factory will be unemployed and fend for themselves.

"Let them fight, it's none of our business." Makarov was disheartened: "None of this has anything to do with us. ”

With that, he turned his head and walked towards his quarters.

The Kuznetsov was driven away, and what about the Varyag? Twenty percent of the construction remains, can it be completed? And what about that nuclear-powered aircraft carrier on the slipway? Makarov walked back, still thinking about the fate of these warships.

"Hello, Mr. Makarov." Just as he was returning to his Volosh sandbank villa next to the Black Sea Shipyard, a middle-aged man appeared in front of him and greeted him.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the title of comrade was replaced by the title of Mr. and Ms., and Makarov still couldn't accept it, and he didn't have much affection for the person in front of him: "Who are you?" What's the matter with coming to me? ”

"Hello, my name is Shostakovich, and I have been entrusted to invite you." Shostakovich said to the director in front of him.

The Black Sea Shipyard, Shostakovich has been here many times, and has long formed a deep friendship with many middle-level cadres below, among whom is really talented, and who is the one who is all lip service, Shostakovich also knows very well.

The USSR collapsed! This is the best opportunity for Pakistan, and Shostakovich has temporarily ended his military division at Saddam's side and gone to the vast republics after the collapse of the Soviet Union, just to help Pakistan search for talent.

In the Soviet era, those engineers who were still enthusiastic about the Soviet Union were not moved by Shostakovich's words, and now, the Soviet Union is gone, and the ideals of those people have been shattered, in this case, Shostakovich easily persuaded a large number of technical engineers to go to Pakistan.

And now, this is Shostakovich's first contact with Makarov, and he knows that with this time alone, he may not be able to talk about the old factory director, but after a few visits, it will have an effect.

Makarov, who can be said to be the elite of the shipbuilding industry in the Soviet Union, has rich experience in construction and management, and if Makarov is allowed to go to Pakistan, he can further help Pakistan improve its own ship construction level!

Now, hearing Makarov's questioning, Shostakovich continued: "I have been entrusted by Pakistani President Khamad to ask you to visit and guide the Pakistani shipyard at your convenience. ”

President of Pakistan, Mhammad? In Makarov's mind, he remembered some past events, President Mkhamad had visited the Black Sea Shipyard, had a cordial conversation with him, and made many valuable suggestions.

The development of Pakistan has attracted everyone's attention, and now, Pakistan is starting to build their own aircraft carrier, and it has entered the final stage of outfitting! This is an unbelievable achievement!

"Okay, I accept this invitation, and I'm looking forward to this trip to Pakistan." Makarov said.

The stormy situation made Makarov very sad, and at this time, it may be a good choice to leave this sad place, leave these disputes, and go to Pakistan to see! Makarov agreed to Shostakovich's invitation. And he didn't know that when he went to Pakistan, he met so many familiar faces, and he would also play his spare heat in Pakistan for the rest of his life. (To be continued.) )
