At two o'clock in the evening, Lieutenant Colonel Lviv walked out of the Nikolskaya Hotel in the center of Moscow. He looked back at the glittering hotel lobby, where foreigners were walking in and out with beautiful women in their arms......

The lieutenant colonel felt very uncomfortable.

The Slavs of Eastern Europe were a chaotic mix of blood and culture. In the long course of history, they have long been in a backward state of tribal alliances.

It was not until Peter I began to carry out drastic reforms of the state at the beginning of the eighteenth century that the hairy bear gradually became a full-fledged state.

This is already the early and middle Qing Dynasty, and Kang Mazi has been in power for almost forty years.

Whoever wants to say that the woolly bear has a long history and culture, please slap him in the face directly.

Hairy bears have strong Mongolian genes. The population of Ermao and Sanmao is still Caucasians, and the big hairs are actually ......, and there are more yellow-skinned people.

But from a geopolitical point of view, Mao Zi has always wanted to become a European country from the bottom of his heart. After the collapse of the alliance, as a remnant of a great empire, Maozi did not want any outsider to be stronger than himself.

This is like the old and young of the Qing Dynasty who are not satisfied with the end of the country.

From a historical point of view, neither the rise nor the fall of a country can be accomplished in a short period of time.

Like what......

The decline and fall of the Qing Dynasty can be counted from the **** war of 1840. But that's just the beginning.

The Taiping Rebellion of 1851.

The Second **** War in 1856.

In 1861, the Westernization Movement intended to flourish.

The Sino-French War of 1883.

Sino-Japanese War of 1894.

The Xinhai Revolution of 1911.

Later, there were the chaos of the Republic of China, the War of Resistance against Japan, and the War of Liberation.

It lasted until 1949, and more than 100 years have passed. We have endured all the hardships to crawl out of the abyss, and when we look around, the world has changed, and we have to grit our teeth and continue to endure hardships and rebuild the country.

Judging from a series of conditions in the next 30 years, the woolly bear in 91 is still in the stage of '**** war'. The unfortunate days have just begun, and bigger, deeper, and more bitter mud pits await it in the future.

As Adjutant to Senior General Chechevatov, Lieutenant Colonel Lviv was full of resentment about this trip to Moscow. He must beg an Asian yellow monkey to help him find a way to meet his needs.

In the three months since he took office, His Excellency the General has been walking a tightrope. He is in the midst of a pack of wolves and hungry tigers, and he may be devoured by one of the forces at any time. He couldn't even trust his men, because no one could be relied upon.

Lieutenant Colonel Lviv's trip was secret and not known to outsiders. The content of his talks with the Light was also sensitive, and the two sides agreed to set up a permanent liaison group to discuss the details of the barter trade.

Your Excellency will sell a number of valuable belongings in your possession, such as the Il-76 fleet, which totals more than 100 aircraft. It is a very bad thing for these military transport planes to be used for commercial transportation, and it is pointless for Ermao to keep these things.

The Holy Light is currently in the process of forming an airline, and His Excellency has decided to sell at least half of these transport planes and quickly replace them with a batch of daily necessities to appease the market.

Considering that four Tu-154s were exchanged for 500 wagons of cargo, fifty second-hand Il-76s are 10,000 wagons of cargo. Don't think that there are a lot of them, but the current capacity of two or three large container ships to run a trip.

It is estimated that it is full of clothing and non-staple food, low-end household appliances and other things.

Lieutenant Colonel Lviv argued for this, and even slapped the table at Zhou Qingfeng, and finally safeguarded the national interests and asked for an extra $100 million worth of high-end products.

Mainly communication base stations, program-controlled switches, mobile phones, pagers, computer equipment. These things are really expensive at the moment.

The current price of electronic devices is super-expensive. A communication base station alone costs $100,000, not including ancillary facilities. The price of a hundred base stations is more than $100 million.

In the face of 'blackmail', Uncle Zhou endured the 'pain' in his heart, and agreed very 'reluctantly' with an extremely 'chagrin' expression. However, His Excellency the President has put forward subsidiary conditions.

"Or else? It's all barter anyway. Let's make it bigger. I'll give you another $100 million worth of electronics, and you sell me the Nikolaev shipyard, how? ”

A hundred communication base stations, it's not that I can't afford it. It's a big deal to give away the tower, battery, cable, and all the ancillary equipment of the base station in vain.

Zhou Qingfeng felt that he was very conscientious in this barter trade.

Anyway, the Nikolaev shipyard on the Black Sea is currently in a state of suspension, and no one will invest money in the shipyard.

Rather than let this shipyard rot in the next two or three decades, let thousands of technicians be separated, tens of thousands of workers lose their jobs, and the largest and only aircraft carrier assembly base in Mao Xiong be scrapped.

As......

Sell me a hundred communication base stations? That sounds like a good deal!

Phew......!

You black-hearted capitalist with blood and filth bubbling from head to toe. You want to spend $100 million......

No, this guy is bartering. Just $100 million worth of goods to buy a shipyard that the Soviets spent decades and invested heavily in building?

You dream about it!

The aircraft carrier in the shipyard alone, which is more than 60 percent complete, is more than that.

Lieutenant Colonel Lviv 'spat fragrant' at Zhou Qingfeng, and almost sprayed him with salt soda.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited. If you have something to say, isn't this a bargain? ”

Zhou Qingfeng comforted for a long time, and muttered silently in his heart.

"'Nikolaev' is an aircraft carrier with more than 60 percent completion. can be tossed and turned, and later only sold for 20 million US dollars of scrap iron.

There is another 'Ulyanovsk' that has been built by more than 30 percent, and it is even worse. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which was fully loaded with nearly 90,000 tons, was dismantled into scrap metal by the Eagle Sauce Bureau.

As for the Nikolaev shipyard, it is nothing more than a rusted industrial park by the beach. The empty and expensive slipway is overgrown with weeds, and the huge gantry can only be used to reminisce and regret.

Of the more than 30,000 workers, only 2,000 are old and weak, and young people have to leave to fend for themselves. All the equipment and assets in the factory can only be sold at a low price, and everything is in vain. ”

Alas......

Lviv was walking in the wind and snow outside the hotel at the moment, and the low temperature of minus ten degrees made him tighten his neck. He had to walk a distance to catch the old-fashioned 'Volga' he was riding in, and he still recalled the conditions that Zhou Qingfeng had offered.

"$100 million is not enough, and you can add more."

As for how much to add, there is no talk. This requires the leaders of both sides to have the relevant intention to arrange for the contact group to conduct further consultations.

In real history, rabbits have asked for a price in 92 years. But it's just a matter of asking for a price. Ermao reported a billion dollars, which directly scared the poor rabbit away.

Lviv walked out of the hotel and thought to himself: "The shipyard will not sell, absolutely will not sell." This is a national weapon, how can Your Excellency sell it? ”

But waiting to sit in the old 'Volga' car, with his hands on the faded steering wheel, Lviv, who came to the secret meeting, was not so confident.

He came to the talks on behalf of the forces that dominated one side, but he had to be sneaky, and he didn't even have a few followers, for fear of being exposed.

Your Excellency is now like a rat in a bellows, anxious to find a way everywhere.

Sale? Only outsiders can't think of it, and there is nothing Ermao can't do. But when you feel that a deal is at a loss, Ermao can make a more loss-making deal that will make you lose your eyeballs.

As recently as November '91, a Norwegian company had already proposed to the Nikolaev shipyard to build six cargo ships, specifying that it would be built at the shipyard's slipway zero.

At the same time, a U.S. steel company said it was willing to pay a high price for the scrap steel of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk, provided that it was dismantled.

This is what has already happened. It's just that because General Chechevatov came to power, Ermao's family was in chaos, and things didn't go well.

Such a big thing, Lieutenant Colonel Lviv knows the interests behind it - only a person with a brain in water would believe that this is not a coincidence. To put it bluntly, isn't it just trying to dismantle the only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier under construction in the Red Navy?

But it really happened.

"Ulyanovsk", the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Red Navy, began construction at the end of November 88 and ceased work at the end of November 91.

In just a few months, at the beginning of February '92, Da Mao and Er Mao will reach an agreement to dismantle the 'Ulyanovsk' on slipway zero in order to build a cargo ship ordered by a Norwegian company.

The speed of decision-making is astonishing. If you want to say that there are no ghosts, fools don't believe it.

As a result, as soon as the ship was dismantled, the Norwegian order disappeared, and the Yankees, who collected scrap iron, also repented.

The people of the empty Ryuk Nikolaev shipyard were dumbfounded, they didn't catch anything.

It doesn't matter, small scenes.

Do you think this is the biggest loss Ermao has ever suffered?

Pattern!

There will be even bigger losses in the future.

Ermao just doesn't have a long memory, falling from one pit into another bigger pit. The global champion of tricks is definitely not blown.

And now......

The key question is who will General Chechevatov trust - Eagle Sauce, who has no faith to speak of, or the president of the Holy Light, who has caused a lot of trouble?
