Chapter 25 Vilyuchinsk Submarine Base

Now, all Qin Tao can take away are retired old ships. However, this is only temporary. These huge warships are destined to be his!

Qin Tao looked greedily at the Minsk and Novorossiysk outside.

 Only children make choices, you want all these!

“We do have one decommissioned ship. Come on, I’ll take you over to have a look.” Nicholas said to Qin Tao.

So, Qin Tao took Nie Shiyu and got into the luxurious Mercedes-Benz S car.

Although the Soviet Union has its own national cars, such as Gorky and Lada, these cars are too crude and cannot be compared with Western European cars. After entering the 1980s, they imported many from the West. cars, including this luxurious W126 Mercedes-Benz sedan, the predecessor of the famous Hutouben.

  Nie Shiyu followed Qin Tao, playing the role of Qin Tao's secretary appropriately. At this time, sitting in the car, she looked at the scene outside with some curiosity.

 This car kept passing checkpoints along the way, obviously heading towards the core of the naval fleet.

Watching the warships on the port constantly changing, Qin Tao was also a little curious: "Your Excellency Nicholas, where are we going?"

 “Go to the aviation base.”

"I'm here to buy warships. Planes... planes are also fine." Qin Tao swallowed hard.

 Replace obsolete warships with light industrial products and bring them back to China for dismantling. This is the best of both worlds. Aircrafts can also be dismantled, but this does not seem to be the main business of their shipyard!

However, he can't be dissatisfied, he wants whatever he wants.

“No, let’s take a helicopter to the submarine base on the Kamchatka Peninsula.” Nikolai said.

Qin Tao opened his eyes wide. He came here just to collect rags and take decommissioned warships back for dismantling. Who would have thought that he would actually take a helicopter there? This is simply the highest state of the rag king!

Nie Shiyu’s eyes were shining, she was going to fly!

 The aviation base is located behind the fleet base, backed by mountains. On the tarmac, what comes into view is a row of Tu-22M bombers.

This bomber, codenamed Backfire, is a strategic weapon of the Red Imperial Navy. Its huge rectangular air inlet, its huge body, and its tail nozzle that can allow a person to stand inside all tell the story of its power. .

 It can fly at supersonic speeds at low altitude, launch anti-ship missiles from long distances, and can also use nuclear warheads. This type of bomber is used to deal with U.S. Navy aircraft carrier formations.

If I could get a plane like this and go back...

 There will be bread and everything will be available.

Next to the Tu-22M is the Yak-38. This vertical take-off and landing fighter was originally the main carrier-based aircraft of the Soviet Navy's aircraft carrier. Unfortunately, due to the problem of nozzle ablation of the deck, these aircraft rarely boarded the ship, and British Sea Harriers provide a striking contrast.

The high-end Mercedes-Benz S sedan continued to drive forward, passing over rows of tarmacs, and a row of Ka-27 helicopters appeared in Qin Tao's field of vision.

Many weapons of the Soviet Navy are unique, as are helicopters. The only coaxial reversing helicopter in the world is in the hands of the Soviet Navy.

There are two counter-rotating rotors on the top of this helicopter, which offsets the rotational torque of the propeller and eliminates the need for a tail propeller for balance. Therefore, the tail of this helicopter is very broken, which can reduce the number of hangars for warships. depth.

 But at the same time, because there are two large plates on the top, it is much higher than an ordinary helicopter. Moreover, at special times, the upper and lower propellers may interfere, causing an accident.

 So, except the Red Navy, no other army is used. After the collapse of the Red Empire, the navy of the motherland also purchased a batch.

 The car continued to move forward, and finally stopped next to an IL-38 anti-submarine aircraft.

Nikolai said hello, and without any formalities, several people got into the anti-submarine aircraft. With the roar of the engine, the plane left Vladivostok and headed for the Vilyuchinsk submarine base.

Qin Tao was also extremely excited. This was the huge and chaotic Red Imperial Navy. A second-rate dealer like himself could actually take their military aircraft to their most secret submarine base!

The main force of the Pacific Fleet is in Vladivostok, but the submarine base is located on the Kamchatka Peninsula, 20 kilometers southwest of Petropavlovsk and on the northeastern coast of Avakinsky Bay. The geographical location is very advantageous. As long as the submarine leaves the base, it can quickly dive into the depths of the Pacific to perform combat duty tasks.

 At the same time, in order to protect this submarine base, there is also a specialized aviation base here, with a large number of Ilyushin-38 fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft, helicopters of various types, and MiG-31 interceptor aircraft performing interception missions.

 Now, the Red Empire is still the most powerful, so Qin Tao can only collect some junk back. However, in the future, the Red Empire will disappear and a large number of warships will be decommissioned. Qin Tao can take away as much as he wants!

 Nicola by his side will become a good helper for Qin Tao. Thinking of this, Qin Tao glanced at Nicola again.

Viluchinsk Submarine Base faces the sea and has mountains at its back. Therefore, the granite inside the mountain was hollowed out and then reinforced with reinforced concrete, thus forming a wide cavern-style submarine berthing dock. Moreover, there is a waterway directly connected to the outside, so the submarines complete maintenance and repairs here. After a series of tasks such as material replenishment and bomb loading, you can go directly to the sea from the entrance of the underwater cave and dive into the depths of the ocean to perform combat duty tasks with maximum confidentiality.

However, this cave can only accommodate up to seven submarines. In normal times, there are still a large number of submarines parked directly on the dock outside.

There are two main piers outside. The southern pier is home to the huge Typhoon-class missile nuclear submarine and Oscar nuclear submarine. Their huge bodies look particularly dazzling in the air. At the northern pier, there are some nuclear submarines with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons docked.

At the innermost berth of the northern pier, four rusty submarines are docked. Its hull is not as streamlined as those of nuclear submarines, just like the big shark, especially its bow, which is not in the shape of a hemisphere, but is similar to a conventional surface ship, with some additions just to adapt to underwater navigation. Curvature; there are protruding parts above and below the bow end, which contain sonar sensors and sonar deflectors.

Just by looking at this configuration, you can tell that it belongs to an ordinary conventional diesel-electric submarine.

Standing on the pier, Nicholas said: "These are retired Type 641 submarines. You can take one away."
