In addition to the three reasons Kravchuk quickly found for himself to sell the "Kuznetsov" to Xu Cun, Kravchuk actually sold quite a few "Kuznetsov" "The reason:

1. The economic reason is the most important reason. The economy of Ukraine is quite sluggish, and there is not so much money to maintain an aircraft carrier. It is a very expensive thing to have an aircraft carrier formation. It will cost at least 45 to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. 100 million to 7 billion US dollars (this is the price in the 1960s), it will take six to seven years, and the purchase of supporting aircraft and **** ships is even more astronomical. What's worse is that since aircraft carrier formations usually perform tasks on the high seas far away from the homeland, in order to ensure the smooth completion of combat missions, it is necessary to invest heavily in the construction of necessary command and communication facilities on shore and even in space. For example, every time the Navy turns on the shore-based tracking system to track ballistic missiles launched by submarines in 20 minutes, it costs half a million dollars, not to mention the cost of maintaining real-time communication with aircraft carrier formations thousands of miles away.

2. The deterrence of aircraft carriers is actually not as good as nuclear weapons. Ukraine, which has many nuclear weapons itself, cannot use aircraft carriers at all. Moreover, the survivability of aircraft carriers is not very high. Once a nuclear war starts, the aircraft carrier is a living target, a modern-class or glorious or Kirov-class nuclear missile destroyers follow the carrier formation and fire all nuclear missiles in one salvo, knocking out an aircraft carrier formation at the cost of one destroyer.

3. Currently, Ukraine only wants to develop its economy, but does not want or have the 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 in the Soviet period were all concentrated in Ukraine. Ukraine can develop aircraft carriers at any time, and they also have ready-made projects - "Varyag" " and "Ulyanovsk".

There are too many reasons to sell the "Kuznetsov", and in this critical period, a country that has money to develop its own new independence is the first, so after discussing it with a few aides , Kravchuk personally called Xu Cun.

actually--

If the founding of the state was not imminent, Xu Cun would be more interested in the "Ulyanovsk", which was stillborn in the previous life, because, in the Soviet Union's plan, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Ulyanovsk" was the world's leading aircraft carrier. The most powerful aircraft carrier.

pity……

Of course, Xu Cun was very happy to be able to buy the "Kuznetsov", because Xu Cun's eyes were actually only on the first generation of aircraft carriers like the "Minsk" and "Novorossiysk" of Russia. .

Moreover, Xu Cun has money and 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 quite a few differences between the two sides on the specific details of the Kuznetsov deal.

For example, Ukraine wanted to dismantle or blow up the weapons and electronic systems and sell them to Xu Cun, but Xu Cun made no compromises, "If it is not the complete "Kuznetsov", I don't want any money, if it is complete "Kuznetsov", the price is negotiable." ——In the last life, Russia, in a desperate situation, separated the "Minsk", "Novorossiysk" and "Gorshkov" respectively When it was sold to South Korea and India, it was sold after the weapons and electronic systems were dismantled or blown up. Xu Cun bought the aircraft carrier at this critical moment because he did not want to buy such a castrated aircraft carrier. , Xu Cun is naturally impossible to agree to this request of Ukraine.

For another example, Xu Cun not only wanted to buy the complete "Kuznetsov", but also asked Ukraine to bring the designers of the "Kuznetsov" with the equipment and experienced workers required 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 sailors to himself!

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

These are just big differences, and small differences such as home delivery, transaction dates, etc. are even less common.

but--

No matter how many differences there are, they cannot hold back the general trend!

The general trend on Xu Cun's side is that Xu Cun is rich and not bad.

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 on both sides, Xu Cun only talked with Ukraine for four days, and the "Kuznetsov" carried Xu Cunyao's personnel to Xu Cun's naval base.

In this process, many accidents actually happened. For example, Russia was going to send the Northern Fleet to intercept, the United States intervened, and many countries along the way thought that a naval battle would suddenly occur, and so on...

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

Later, Xu Cun personally flew to the United States, then flew to the United Kingdom, and then flew to France in person. After that, he personally called Deng Gong to deal with all the troubles.

Although the disintegration of the Soviet Union is imminent, the Soviet Union has not officially disintegrated one day, and it is the biggest enemy of the United States. Therefore, the United States is very willing to see the Soviet Union's defense equipment bought by Xu Cun, a local tyrant, plus Xu Cun's powerful contacts in the United States , it is not difficult to convince the United States of course.

Not to mention the United Kingdom and France. The "Kuznetsov" left the Soviet Union to join the European Union. The United Kingdom and France will not help unless they are stupid.

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

Among the five permanent members, there is only the Soviet Union, which has fallen apart and has not even been determined as the top leader~lightnovelpub.net~ In the process of separation, the "Kuznetsov" should actually be distributed to Ukraine, and Russia wants the "Kuznetsov" The Znetsov" was a robbery.

In addition, while pulling China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France to boost their momentum, Xu Cun is also using the much-needed funds he borrowed from the Yeltsin regime to lose pressure on Russia.

Therefore, under the coercion of various parties, Russia, which is too busy to take care of itself, can only continue its great cause of separation with a blank check from Ukraine that is responsible for helping Russia build an aircraft carrier.

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

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

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