Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

In addition to the three reasons Kravchuk quickly found for himself to sell the "Kuznetsov" to Xu Cun, Kravchuk actually had a lot of reasons to sell the "Kuznetsov" " reason:

1. The economic reason is the most important reason. Ukraine’s economy is quite sluggish, and there is not so much money to support an aircraft carrier. Having an aircraft carrier formation is a very expensive thing. Building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier will cost at least forty-five 100 million to 7 billion U.S. dollars (this is still the price in the 1960s), it will take six to seven years, and the purchase of supporting carrier-based aircraft and escort ships is an astronomical sum. What's more, since aircraft carrier formations usually perform missions on the high seas far away from the mainland, in order to ensure the successful completion of combat missions, it is necessary to invest huge sums of money in building necessary command and communication facilities on the shore or even in space. For example, every time the Navy turns on a shore-based tracking system to track a ballistic missile launched by a submarine within 20 minutes, it will cost half a million dollars, not to mention the cost of maintaining real-time communication with an aircraft carrier formation thousands of miles away.

2. The deterrent power of an aircraft carrier is actually not as good as that of nuclear weapons. Ukraine, which has many nuclear weapons, does not need an aircraft carrier at all. Moreover, the survivability of an aircraft carrier is not very high-once a nuclear war starts, an aircraft carrier is a living target. Class or Kirov-class nuclear missile destroyers follow the aircraft carrier formation and fire all nuclear missiles in one salvo. At the cost of one destroyer, an aircraft carrier formation can be knocked out.

3. Ukraine now only wants to develop its economy, but does not want to and has no ability to compete for world hegemony. Therefore, Ukraine does not need an aircraft carrier at all.

4. The Neva Design Bureau, the first-class aircraft carrier design bureau in the Soviet Union, and all the aircraft carrier construction facilities during the Soviet period were all concentrated in Ukraine. If Ukraine wants to develop an aircraft carrier, it can do so at any time, and they also have a ready-made project - "Varyag" " and "Ulyanovsk".

There are too many reasons to sell the "Kuznetsov", and in this critical period, the country that has the money to develop its own newly independent country is the first. Therefore, after discussing with several staff , Kravchuk called Xu Cun himself.

actually--

If it weren't for the imminent founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Cun would be more interested in the "Ulyanovsk", which was aborted in his previous life, because, in the Soviet Union's plan, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Ulyanovsk" was the world's largest aircraft carrier. The most powerful aircraft carrier in the world.

pity……

Of course, Xu Cun was already very happy to be able to buy the "Kuznetsov", because before that, Xu Cun's eyes were actually on Russian aircraft carriers like the "Minsk" and "Novorossiysk". .

Moreover, Xu Cun has money, so he can spend money to upgrade the "Kuznetsov" into a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Therefore, Xu Cun and Kravchuk hit it off.

Of course, there are actually many differences between the two sides on the specific details of the "Kuznetsov" transaction.

For example, Ukraine wants to dismantle or blow up its weapons and electronic systems and sell them to Xu Cun, but Xu Cun is uncompromising, "If it's not the complete "Kuznetsov", I don't want any money. The price of "Kuznetsov" is negotiable." ——In the last life, Russia, when desperate, separated the "Minsk", "Novorossiysk" and "Gorshkov" When it was sold to South Korea and India, the weapons and electronic systems were dismantled or blown up before they were sold. Xu Cun bought the aircraft carrier at this critical moment because he did not want to buy such a castrated aircraft carrier. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Xu Cun to agree to Ukraine's request.

For another example, Xu Cun not only wanted to buy the complete "Kuznetsov", but also let Ukraine bring the designers of "Kuznetsov" and the equipment and experienced workers needed to assemble the hull of the aircraft carrier, and even Ask Ukraine to help him build a large shipyard capable of repairing and upgrading the "Kuznetsov". What's more, Xu Cun also asked Ukraine to bring some experienced crews to him!

For another example, in addition to selling the "Kuznetsov" to Xu Cun, Ukraine also wanted to bundle and sell some battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and frigates.

These are just big differences, and even smaller differences like home delivery, transaction date, etc.

but--

No matter how many differences there are, it can't stand the general trend!

The general trend on Xu Cun's side is that Xu Cun has money and is not short of money.

The general trend in Ukraine is that if the "Kuznetsov" is not sold to Xu Cun, then the "Kuznetsov" is likely to be taken away by the powerful Russia.

Driven by the general trend of the two sides, Xu Cun only talked with Ukraine for four days, and the "Kuznetsov" carried Xu Cun's important personnel to Xu Cun's naval base.

During this process, many accidents actually occurred. For example, Russia was preparing to send the Northern Fleet to intercept, the United States intervened, and many countries along the way thought that there was a sudden naval battle, etc...

These things not only brought a lot of troubles to Wu Lanke, but also brought a lot of troubles to Xu Cun.

Later, Xu Cun personally flew to the United States, then flew to the UK, and then flew to France, and then he made a phone call to Mr. Deng himself, and then he solved all the troubles.

Although the disintegration of the Soviet Union is imminent, the Soviet Union has not officially disintegrated for a day, and it will be the biggest enemy of the United States for a day. Therefore, the United States is very willing to see the Soviet Union's defense heavy weapons being bought by Xu Cun, a local tycoon. In addition, Xu Cun has a strong network in the United States , It is naturally not difficult to persuade the United States.

Not to mention Britain and France, the "Kuznetsov" left the Soviet Union to join the European Union, and Britain and France would not help unless they were stupid.

China is Xu Cun's most staunch ally, and as long as Xu Cun buys the "Kuznetsov", China will have the opportunity to research the world's most advanced aircraft carrier construction technology that it lacks.

Of the five permanent members, only the Soviet Union, which has fallen apart and has not yet been identified as its supreme leader, remains.

In the process of separation, the "Kuznetsov" should have been allocated to Ukraine, and Russia's request for the "Kuznetsov" is really a steal.

In addition, while pulling China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France to give himself momentum, Xu Cun is also using his urgently needed loans to the Yeltsin regime to lose pressure on Russia.

Therefore, under the persecution of many parties, Russia, which is too busy to take care of itself, can only continue its great business with a blank check issued by Ukraine to help Russia build an aircraft carrier.

By the way, when Pu Jing heard that Xu Cun bought the "Kuznetsov" from Ukraine, Pu Jing regretted persuading Xu Cun not to buy the aircraft carrier to death!

At the same time, Pujing also realized that if such a thing that harmed Russia's interests was known, his political life would be over!

After that, Pu Jing stopped talking nonsense, even with the closest people!
