The legacy of the 1890 alliance, why do you inherit it?(1/2)
"What is the fate of Varyag?"
Makarov's originally wise eyes became confused.
As the highest person in charge of the Black Sea Shipyard, he didn't know what the fate of the aircraft carrier that was about to undergo sea trials would be.
"We cannot decide that the government has not handed over this aircraft carrier to the shipyard for processing at the moment, and some countries we are seeking that may have intention to order have not shown interest in owning aircraft carriers..."
Makarov had no reservations about Xie Kai, a young man who is still mysterious now.
It is basically impossible for the Varyag to continue to complete, and it is no longer possible to gallop in the ocean as an aircraft carrier.
Besides, they can no longer complete the construction.
What Xie Kai said at the beginning made him think very seriously. He didn't think that the Black Sea Shipyard was unable to complete the continued construction of such an aircraft carrier.
The Soviet Union's most technical and top-level aircraft carrier manufacturing plant cannot complete an aircraft carrier project with only 30% remaining?
That's a joke.
After careful consideration, I realized that this is no joke.
That's the truth.
The Black Sea Shipyard does not have the ability to continue to build.
Makarov also communicated with the heads of many core supporting factories. The other party said that he could continue to provide various equipment, but the government needed to open a license, and it was also a problem of funding.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the countries within the alliance were in trouble for the legacy of the Soviet father.
The debt problem that was originally not available has also become tricky.
Anyway, everyone was short of money. In the alliance, resources and other issues were all dispatched in a unified manner, so there were no such problems at all.
Under such circumstances, Makarov naturally knew that the Varyag could no longer make progress.
Unless other countries that have the ability to build buy it and continue to build it.
Countries that have the ability to build do not need unprofessional aircraft carriers like them; those who do not have the ability to continue building, but do not have the funds and technology...
"The Varyag is not a regular aircraft carrier. Originally, the Red Navy was positioned as a heavy-carrier cruiser. It carried not enough fighter jets and its own firepower was not strong enough. The other equipment of the Red Navy can form a powerful aircraft carrier battle group, but who can do it in other countries?" Xie Kai sighed.
Some things have been said before.
There was no need to say anything else.
It’s impossible not to say it now. He must convince the person in front of him.
Once he could not convince, the information he wanted could not be obtained at all.
If you want to build such an aircraft carrier in China, even if the Varyag is to be towed back, it will still take a long time to survey and map and imitate it from scratch.
If so, it doesn't make much sense.
It is better to continue designing and production directly based on the 707 aircraft carrier.
"Indeed." The factory director Dawarri's face became even more lonely, "This aircraft carrier can no longer become a real aircraft carrier..."
"At least, becoming a gambling ship can allow this aircraft carrier to gallop on the ocean in another form..." Xie Kai proposed his plan again, "This is a witness to the peak of Soviet equipment technology. Originally, Ulyanovsk was the real witness, but unfortunately, Ulyanovsk was demolished. The Americans only paid a few million dollars to let the people who built this nuclear-powered aircraft carrier dismantle it by themselves..."
Xie Kai's words were like a handful of salt, sprinkled on the scarred heart of the factory director Dawaris.
Even after sprinkling salt, I rubbed it hard to make the salt more effective.
Kill the heart!
Makarov's eyes became moist.
He personally issued an order to dismantle the main body of the Ulyanovsk.
Just like when he personally issued an order to start building this peak battleship of the Red Navy at the groundbreaking ceremony.
Even if this is an order from the Ukrainian government.
After all, the final order was issued by him.
"Now everything is gone." The voice of the factory director Davari was full of decadence, "I am a sinner of the Soviet Union!"
It's true that everything is gone.
"The Soviet Union is gone. No one can disobey the government's orders, unless they are anti-government people. In that way, they will become the sinner of their own country and nation..." Xie Kai felt that he had passed.
But now, I don't care so much.
The reason why Makarov was unwilling to let them go of the information was because he was unwilling to sell out national interests.
He believes that the drawings given to Xie Kai was to sell out Ukraine's national interests.
This is the fundamental reason that both sides have never been able to negotiate.
Xie Kai had to find a way to convince him that the information was given to him, not only not to sell off national interests, but even the final respect for the disintegrated Soviet Union.
"Davari, factory director, do you think that the system of Russia or Ukraine is still the same as the Soviet Union?" Before Makarov could continue to be sad, Xie Kai once again raised a topic that was like a change of topic.
These issues shouldn't have been discussed.
Not to mention it, no.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the franchised republics that originally formed the alliance changed.
Almost all countries have become capital countries.
The collapse of the Soviet Union was actually a process of privatization.
"Now these countries are the same as the West." Makarov didn't understand Xie Kai's thoughts and still answered, "In this way, Western countries and us will no longer belong to the hostile camp..."
"Haha, not hostile? Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, capitalism has sprouted, and industrially produced products need a larger market... Now, the entire Europe and the United States have a great demand for the market, but the market in the world has almost been saturated. What if a group of countries with good industrial capacity are added? "
Xie Kai's words made Makarov unable to answer.
He doesn't know what will happen in the future.
The world economy has been growing slowly for many years.
Very slow.
It is because the market demand is not growing rapidly enough.
"Countries and countries only have eternal interests and no eternal friendship. The Soviet Union, which can compete with the entire West, is no longer the Soviet Union's original franchises, have technical and production capabilities that are not weaker than Western countries. If the Soviet Union's military production capacity is completely transformed into the civilian market field, just like our domestic reform and opening up..."
Xie Kai's words made Makarov shocked.
Although China's reform and opening up has only lasted for more than ten years, the achievements have shocked the whole world.
Two years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Soviet government had already realized the problem and was ready to learn from China's reform and opening up. After all, the Soviet Union's strength and technical capabilities were not comparable to that of China.
If the Soviet Union were the same, it would develop faster than China.
Unfortunately, the Soviet government was ineffective in the end, and many franchise republics were unwilling to continue to stay in the alliance and become resource suppliers, so that all the resources of the alliance could be used to develop Damao.
The reform failed.
The Soviet Union is gone.
Even if the Soviet Union is gone, those technical strengths are still there.
But now, the economy has collapsed.
Any country, as long as it really wants to reform and the country’s unified planning, can also transform military technology into the civilian field, and this will develop quickly.
There is no problem with technology and capital.
But what about the market?
With the development of global economic integration, the world's economic competition is already extremely fierce. Even countries within NATO are extremely fierce.
If the competition originally joined the Soviet republic will increase, the market will become smaller.
"So, no matter what, Western countries will really hope that we will develop?" Makarov is not a politician.
Nor is an economist.
Xie Kai's explanation made him understand it very directly.
Competition is everywhere.
"If it is any country or a company, it does not want to have competitors. It hopes that all markets will be occupied by them. Only in this way can we obtain higher profits... and with higher profits, we can invest more in technology research and development, have more technology leading, and have stronger competitiveness..."
This is a virtuous cycle.
No one likes to have competitors.
This is how Hongqi Group developed.
The United States also developed through the two world wars.
There was originally pressure from the Soviet Union, so the United States divided a lot of interests to Western countries, which could ensure that Western countries were obedient.
Without the Soviet Union, NATO countries would no longer have internal competition pressure, and then internal competition began.
"So, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the European Community passed the Treaty of the European Union, which took effect in more than two months..."
"I am just an ordinary manager, not a politician." Makarov interrupted Xie Kai.
He didn't want to continue listening.
To be continued...
