After talking about nuclear submarines, Vajpayee saw that Putin's demands on him were basically complied with, and the huge Russian military-industrial system almost let him take what he wanted, and he boldly asked whether Russia could help India build an aircraft carrier.

"What are you doing with a new one, I have an almost brand new Admiral Gorshkov aircraft carrier here, which was decommissioned after only a few years of service, and since you have bought so many things from me, I will give it to you for free." Putin immediately told Vajpayee very generously that he was ready to give him an aircraft carrier for free.

Vajpayi was happy, I wanted to hold Putin's hand on the spot and burst into tears, the Russians are too many friends, look, as soon as the prime minister is dispatched, the Russians are willing to give away the aircraft carrier in vain, and it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build a decommissioning route from the Commonwealth.

"But......" Before he could express his gratitude, Putin spoke again, and Vajpayee immediately felt that this matter might not be as beautiful as he imagined, so he heard Putin say: "Since this aircraft carrier was originally designed, it used a vertical take-off and landing fighter, and the design work of the Yak-141 has not yet been completed, either you drive the aircraft carrier back first, and then wait for this fighter to be completed, or I will change it to a glide take-off and landing for you, with a conventional carrier-based aircraft, do you think you need that?" ”

"This?" Vajpayee pondered for a while, to say that what Putin said is not wrong, the aircraft carrier is given away for nothing, the carrier-based aircraft is not much cheaper than the aircraft carrier, but if the aircraft carrier is not equipped with the carrier-based aircraft, isn't it useless for the aircraft carrier, in terms of firepower, it is not as good as a missile destroyer, but if it is equipped with a carrier-based aircraft, you have to think about it, Vajpayee decided to ask clearly: "How long can that Yak-141 be taken out, is one year enough?" ”

Putin looked at him like an idiot for a long time, and told him very clearly: "If it weren't for the problems with carrier-based aircraft, why would we retire a new aircraft carrier, I am very dissatisfied with the progress of the work of the Yakovlev Experimental Design Bureau, but if we can get financial support from Indian friends, maybe the progress will be faster." ”

At this time, an expert from the Indian side also leaned next to the prime minister's ear and whispered to him about the reputation of the Yak 141, what iron coffins, doves of peace, etc., Vajpayee was pale when he listened, and it was not a good thing to hear this reputation, so forget it.

"Since the Yak-141 takes such a long time, and it is also a vertical take-off and landing fighter, forget it, what carrier-based aircraft can be carried if it is transformed into a sliding deck?" Vajpayee thought about it, and he had to feel that the deal was very worthwhile, even if it was the cost of the transformation, how much money could there be, after all, the aircraft carrier was given away for free, but the carrier-based aircraft had to be figured out.

"It can carry the Su-33 used by our aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, or it can be replaced with the latest MiG-29K." Naturally, someone next to him prepared the information on these two types of carrier-based aircraft and handed them over.

Vadjpayee looked at it, discussed it with his experts, and decided to use the MiG-29K as a carrier-based aircraft, the Su-33 is a lot more expensive, not to mention, and after this kind of aircraft was equipped with those twenty-four aircraft from Russia, the technical surname Neng has never been updated, and Sukhoi's main focus is not on this, and although the Mikoyan Design Bureau was sold to the Su, the technical heritage of the MiG series has been inherited by the United Aviation Manufacturing Company, and has been constantly improving the technology, in comparison, The surname of the MiG-29 can be more advanced, and in the end, the MiG-29K was selected as the carrier-based aircraft.

After everything was completed, Putin said the cost of the transformation, a billion dollars, Vajpayee almost went crazy after hearing it, renovate the deck, can you use so much, even if you can't build a brand new aircraft carrier for a billion dollars, it's about the same, then why do I want this old one.

Putin clearly told him that the billion US dollars are not only the cost of deck transformation, but also the ship's shipboard weapons, electronic information systems, etc., all need to be replaced with the latest version, and at the same time, Putin also said that he can give India an additional batch of weapons, but the price, Putin said that it is absolutely impossible to reduce it again, and finally Vajpayee gritted his teeth and agreed, because the construction period of an aircraft carrier takes eight to ten years, and the transformation does not take so long.

After the completion of negotiations on such a large head as the aircraft carrier, Russia will build four frigates for India, which is a trivial matter, and finally calculated, the total amount of the contract is just over 10 billion, of course, this amount of money is not paid to Russia immediately, and some need to be paid in full after the delivery of the goods, but like the early completion of the submarine and the renovation cost of the aircraft carrier, these are things that need immediate support, and this amount alone is as much as three billion dollars.

Although Putin did not show much face, but in his heart he was very excited, he was short of money and came to the door with a fat sheep, I don't know if this is a sign of Russia's prosperity, with these three billion, his own army expansion plan can increase part of the scale.

Vajpayee is also very happy, since this time, India has gained the advantage of fighter aircraft in the next 10 to 20 years, obtained the sea-based nuclear counterattack capability, and obtained an aircraft carrier that meets the mainstream definition of the world.

Of course, in addition to these, there are many agreements between the two sides on cooperation, such as cooperation in the joint research of fifth-generation aircraft, as well as cooperation in cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, ballistic missiles and many other aspects.

After talking about cooperation, the two sides talked about the international security situation, and Vajpayee was also very clear about Russia's current situation, and in return for Russia selling them so many things, he also reciprocated that India would unswervingly stand on Russia's side in the event of any conflict.

Russia also said that once India and Pakistan have a conflict, Russia will do its best to support India, and at the same time restrain China's help to Pakistan at the technical level.

The two sides secretly signed a Powa agreement, which means that the two sides have formally formed an alliance strategically, which is much more reliable than any strategic partnership, which means that Russia has won over an ally to its own plan that is second only to the five permanent members.

Immediately after seeing off Vajpayee and returning to the president's office, Putin instructed the operator: "Connect me to the phone number of the General Secretary of the People's Republic of China." ”

After receiving Putin's phone call, the general secretary smiled, and the two people reviewed the fraternal friendship between the two countries on the phone, the brothers read the wall and the outside, the relationship between brothers can indeed describe the relationship between China and the Soviet Union, although the two countries are also filthy, but in general, when encountering strong external forces, the two countries can still work together with the outside world, and in the end, the general secretary also sang two Russian songs emotionally.

The two people concluded an alliance on the phone, because both sides know what type of country the other party is, there is no difference between a written agreement and a verbal agreement, if China is in danger, Russia will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely pounce on the biggest bite, and once Russia falls to the extreme, China will not forget the past hatred, but at this stage, the alliance is still very much needed for both sides.

Russia needs to take back some of its forces in the Far East to deal with strong European pressure, and China needs a secure east-west border, and the two sides have agreed to divert some of the forces they are guarding against each other.

As for the common threat between the two sides, Russia said that it would leave a part of its fleet and air force in the north to put strong pressure on it, and the Chinese side also promised to make a certain posture in the south so that it would not dare to boldly go north.

In the event of a war, China needs Russian resources, and Russia needs such a strong production base as China, and you must know that soldiers can fight not only with munitions, but also with daily necessities and supplies.

On the phone, the two sides reached several deals, the Chinese side in exchange for Russian resources and some technology, Russia at this time does not care that the Chinese side to get these technologies will pose a threat to their arms sales, now do not care about the long-term, first deal with the present.

After putting down the phone, the general secretary wrote a lot of money and told the staff: "Notify all the Standing Committee members to come over for a meeting and tell them that the time has come." ”

The same is true for European countries, the Ministry of Defense of various countries requires each supplier to speed up the supply, so that they can meet the orders put forward by the Ministry of Defense as soon as possible, which is Su's, but fortunately, Su Ming's supply capacity far exceeds their requirements, but the consequence is that it has caused a short-term shortage of materials in the country.

After Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary joined NATO, Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Slovakia also reported that they were going to join NATO, and at the same time, several original European countries, Finland, Sweden, and Austria, were also preparing to abandon their military independence policy and join NATO.
