Yuri Ivanovich Makarov, a sad witness to the collapse of the Union.

In 79, Makarov, as chief engineer, was appointed director of the Nikolaev Shipyard because of his outstanding work ability. It was he who introduced the general section construction method for the Soviet shipbuilding industry, which greatly improved production efficiency.

Thanks to him, dock zero in Nikolaev became the busiest shipbuilding base in the whole of the Soviet Union and even in all of Europe. According to Makarov's vision, the shipyard will continue to produce aircraft carriers like an assembly line.

The Red Navy will become a formidable maritime power, and the Soviet flag will fly everywhere on the five oceans.

But...... The dream was defeated by the harsh reality.

The 'Holy Light' wanted to recruit the technocrat, but Makarov flatly refused. After tossing a few times, the Chinese side can only give up - the skills that should be learned have been learned, and the old factory director's name will be cleared.

Throughout August '94, 'Varyag' was busy with power tests. The 'Holy Light' formally applied to the Tuji Shipping Channel Administration to allow the aircraft carrier to pass through the Bosphorus Strait and enter the Mediterranean Sea from the Black Sea.

As long as no one gets in the way, the 'Varyag' can cross the Suez Canal into the Indian Ocean, and at most it will be able to reach Dalian in a month and a half at most for the subsequent outfitting of the ship's equipment.

For this application, Tuji did not have any reason to refuse, and the attitude of the CIA became ambiguous. But the application was neither approved, nor did it say that it was not approved, and it was delayed anyway.

Zhou Qingfeng was not in a hurry. He lived quietly in Michelle's apartment, enjoying the service of his servants, and slept until he woke up naturally, not to mention the leisure.

It's just that the luxury goods containers to be issued in August have not been delivered, and the tens of millions of dollars that the old George's family should have received are facing extinction.

If he hadn't taken Zhou Qingfeng's money, maybe the old George family would have been tougher. But if you take it and then lose it, the psychological frustration is a little uncomfortable.

To make matters worse, the George family was too confident and made a lot of publicity in the mysterious luxury circles from the East. Almost all the goods were very popular and attracted the affection of high-ranking officials and magnates.

For example, the beauty effect of otherworldly cosmetics is so magical that it has become a necessity. This favor has been spilled out, and if you say that there is no goods, it will be troublesome.

"Then what 'Elven Black Mud' works so well?" In the congressional office in Washington, George Sr. put down the microphone in his hand, his brow furrowed.

With bureaucratic sluggishness and inertia, it will take some time to solve the problem of the 'Varyag', even with the power of a member of the Senate.

After a private trial by Mrs. George's small circle, the mysterious beauty products from the East opened the market as quickly as possible with unique effects. Its high price is not an obstacle at all, but a more important way to show its status.

Old George scratched his head, called his wife again, and after answering, he asked, "Honey, I need twenty servings of 'Elven Black Mud' right now, which is said to have a miraculous effect on skin care." ”

Before her husband could finish speaking, Mrs. George sighed and vetoed: "George, don't ask, there is no stock." I originally had a thousand boxes on hand, and now they're all sold. ”

Old George was anxious, "Don't have a box?" It was a call from the White House. I've promised I'll get it. This demand cannot be refused. ”

"I'm sorry." Mrs. George still sighed, "George, I really don't have it here." You've got to think of something else. ”

"But now I just can't help it."

"Why don't you ask Zhou of the Holy Light, I think he is actually very sincere."

"What are you talking nonsense? That bastard was clearly threatening me, and he wanted me to give in. ”

"Then you just give in, it's not that you haven't given in, just to solve the problem of supply. You know, I'm also under a lot of pressure right now, and the news has reached Europe.

I have a very good friend who just called and said that the British royal family is also interested in this product. This is a very rare opportunity, and the needs of the royal family must be met. ”

Even over the phone, George Sr. could imagine his wife's excited face.

The old Europeans felt that the Yankees were uneducated buns, and the Yankees ridiculed the old Europeans as shabby. But on the other hand, the old Europe envied the Yankees for having money in their pockets, and the Yankees liked the aristocratic style of the old Europe.

If the product can be approved by the British royal family, it will be tantamount to stepping on a high stepping stone for the George family. When you go out backwards, you can raise your head and chest more, and you will look extravagant.

In the face of opportunities, old George was powerless. He said on the phone: "That bastard refused to provide any more cargo, and he asked to settle the matter of the aircraft carrier first." ”

"Then let the local chicken allow the aircraft carrier to pass. Didn't you say that the Ministry of Defense assessed that the aircraft carrier would not be able to form combat effectiveness for ten years, let alone pose a threat to us. ”

"That's right, that aircraft carrier really doesn't pose much of a threat, it doesn't even have a suitable carrier-based aircraft. But there needs to be a process in place to allow it to be navigable. This month will definitely not be able to complete the process, and it will be next month at the earliest. ”

Next month?!

There was a bit of anger in Mrs. George's words, "This is absolutely not going to work, and it must not be delayed until next month." It has to be this month, it has to be this week, it has to be now. I need it right away, or my reputation will be damaged. ”

George Sr. agrees, "Yes, it must not be delayed until next month." So, my dear, you should have some in your hand. ”

"Nope."

"No, you have, I know you still have a lot of hiding."

"George, that's my personal need, it's what I keep for myself, and I will never give it to anyone else. You don't want to take it from me. Now it's time for you to play a role and solve the current puzzle. ”

Mrs. George's shrill voice came down the telephone line. Syllable...... Before old George could continue, the phone hung up. When he dialed it again, the other side was no longer answered.

Damn it!

George Sr. slammed the microphone a few times on the desk. His assistant would walk into the office, knock on the open door, and say, "Your Excellency, a White House intern just called me. ”

"White House intern?" Old George is really alive and hell, "Are even interns in trouble with me these days?" ”

The assistant shrugged, "I'm afraid this is not an ordinary intern, she just said that she wants some special goods, and hopes that we can give a relatively large discount." ”

Ha...... Old George was amused.

It was just a call from the assistant to the president and the chief of staff of the first lady, and he asked for twenty boxes as soon as he opened his mouth. It's like trying to take thousands of dollars of luxury skincare products and stick them on the wall.

Now there is another intern from the White House, although only one box is given, but if you want to give a strong discount, you almost want to give it away in vain.

On top of that, there are hundreds of tough guys in Congress. The number of people who want to see the joke is innumerable.

Old George was overwhelmed by this demand, and everyone couldn't refuse, "Am I fooled?" Pushed into the trap by that bastard.

He must have known that his goods would be popular, and he would jam me in the neck after I advertised them and sparked a strong demand. This kid is very cunning, really bad. ”
