2031 Varyag finally enters the Turkish Strait

"There is no talk about this matter? There is an international hot topic, so you can't give up the opportunity." Xie Kai reminded Zheng Ming, "Otherwise, there will be a friendly reminder from third-party countries, and there will be problems in Varyag again..."

The aircraft carrier of the third brother's family was just overturned.

This made Xie Kai helpless.

The Varyag returned to China's work was almost done, and there was no big opposition from the native chicken.

When the San Ge family's aircraft carrier is launched, the international community will find that the two major Asian countries are building aircraft carriers, and it will be lively then, right?

As a result, San Ge's aircraft carrier turned into a submarine.

I don't know how long it takes to salvage it.

When Varyag comes back, there may be another problem.

"There is basically no problem if there is any change."

"This is not necessarily the case. Our aircraft carrier was told that it could not pass before. Otherwise, they would ask us to install its own power system for the aircraft carrier..."

Xie Kai didn't want to continue discussing the third brother's aircraft carrier.

Anyway, their aircraft carrier will take a long time to truly complete the launch.

In any country, if the industrial supporting facilities are not perfect, it is almost a dream to build an aircraft carrier.

"No, the conditions there have been reduced a lot. We no longer require us to pay a deposit, but we are required to ensure navigation safety. From the original 8 tugboats to 16, it is a hired Greek shipping company. The Greek government helps us guarantee... In addition, the Ministry of Transport and domestic shipping experts formed an expert team..."

The smile on Zheng Ming's face could not be concealed at all for Varyag to finally come back.

The country is also helping with negotiations, but it ignores all the powerless requests of the local chickens before.

So, a billion dollar risk margin is not a penny.

As for other aspects, the problem is not very big.

"It's a pity that I can't participate in the passage of the Varyag through the Bosphorus, or even witness it with my own eyes, or witness history..." Xie Kai sighed.

If it weren't for the safety issue, he really hoped to experience the giant passing through the Turkish Strait on the Varyag.

"You have made history." Zheng Ming despised Xie Kai.

If it weren't for Xie Kai's operation, the Varyag might have been dismantled into scrap iron.

"But I still want to see the ship being transported back with my own eyes. If it is not too troublesome, I will directly install power on this aircraft carrier according to the requirements of the local chicken government and drive it back directly!"

Anyone would be worried about this matter.

When the aircraft carrier was sold, Ukraine dismantled all the equipment on it and the power system was also gone.

If there is a power system, the local chicken government will not be able to stop the passage of this aircraft carrier.

After the Varyag power system was dismantled, the key components were destroyed by some interested people, or they had no idea where they were wandering through the black market.

There is only one way to reinstall the power system - rebuild it.

It can be built in China.

It was a long process to complete the construction and transport it to Ukraine and then install it, and the cost was unbearable.

So you can only choose to tow it back by tug.

The cost increased by tens of millions of dollars.

"When will it start crossing the Strait there?"

"Local time starts at 6 am tomorrow. If there is no accident, you should pass the Bosphorus Strait at around 4 pm. There are too many restrictions there." Zheng Ming also sighed, "I can finally come back."

"These costs will come back sooner or later." Xie Kai didn't care so much, "The 359 tank production line we bought from us and the Dihongqi technology have already made us profit back."

"They think they have taken a big advantage." Zheng Ming was also happy.

Many of the 404's weapons and equipment are very popular in the international market and are also well-known.

When the native chickens put forward various conditions, they actually wanted to get greater benefits. In addition, they wanted to join NATO as soon as possible, and with the pressure of American fathers and others, they naturally would not let the Varyag pass easily.

Taking this as an opportunity, they proposed to purchase 359 tanks and other technologies from Hongqi Group.

But I don’t know that Hongqi Group has sold these technologies for countless times.

Therefore, after difficult negotiations between the two sides, the native chicken paid a considerable price to get it.

Of course, this requires the Varyag to pass through their strait before the contract will take effect.

Zheng Ming also knew about these things.

404 In recent years, the equipment business has not had many orders in the international market.

The 359 tank technology sold to the local chicken is more advanced than the ones sold at the time, but it is quite different from the 96-type used in China. Whether it is the fire control system or the materials used, it is not the same level.

The native chicken doesn't understand the inside story, so naturally feels that he has taken advantage of it.

The Bosphorus Strait, also known as the Istanbul Strait.

This is a narrow waterway connecting the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea. On one side is Asia and on the other side is Europe.

The entire strait is 30 kilometers long, with the widest part of the north 3.7 kilometers, and the narrowest area in the middle is only 750 meters wide.

June 13, 2004.

A day that is too ordinary.

That morning, it was not long before dawn. The Bosphorus, which was usually busy, had no ship except for a few small boats on the side and the main channel in the middle.

The entrance to the north connecting the Black Sea has already become busy.

The huge Varyag, both on the aircraft carrier and on the island, is covered with red rust, and it is hard to see its true appearance.

The paint on the hulls on both sides is also mottled.

Although it still gives people a shocking feeling, especially the escort tugs, etc., which seem extremely small in comparison with this huge thing, this aircraft carrier does not have the slightest hideousness that a war beast should have.

Some are just like the vicissitudes of an old man.

Since the shutdown, this huge aircraft carrier has experienced only the dismantled equipment and the erosion caused by the water moon.

No maintenance, no maintenance.

More than ten high-power tugboats, five at the bow, and huge steel cables behind the ship connect the behemoth tens of thousands of tons. Other tugboats and fire lifeboats are scattered around this huge aircraft carrier.

Just waiting for news from the Navigator of the Straits Administration Office.

All ships are equipped with communication equipment provided by native chickens.

Even in broad daylight, all the lights on these ships are on.

There are many lighting lamps around the deck of Varyag, all of which are on at the same time.

A helicopter leased from the Tuji Maritime Department hovered in the air as a central command and dispatch.

"All ships on the waterway have left and are accessible."

Finally, we waited for the notice from the Tuji Strait Administration.

At this moment, it has been 40 minutes since the originally expected six o'clock.

"Don't worry, these tugs have rich international rescue experience. They have been dragging them from the Black Sea Shipyard to this place for a long time." Looking at Luo Feng beside him, the Ministry of Transportation's maritime transportation expert comforted him.

Luo Feng barely squeezed out a smile.

The River Crab Mercenary Group now has few opportunities to fight, and he spends more time taking over Liu Dongsheng's stay in Ukraine.

"The tug fee was originally $8,500 a day, but now it has doubled to $17,000. Since we bought it back then, the shell of this aircraft carrier was docked at the Black Sea Shipyard, with a monthly berth of $15,000. In order to ensure that it is not destroyed, there are security fees... I spent several million more... " Luo Feng felt a little hurt.

For them personally, this money is not much.

But in the end, these costs need to be spread to users.

The navy is poor.

"Isn't that good? As long as you pass the strait, you can follow the original plan and use eight tugboats." The shipping expert also started to carry the Varyag, which was dragged by five tugboats and slowly entered the strait channel.

The narrowest part of the strait is only 750 meters wide. Aside from the shallows on both sides, the passages that can be used by large ships with tonnage such as the Varyag are much narrower.

That place is the most critical.

"These foreigners have experience, and there is no problem in operating the five tugboats at the same time..." No one from China's shipping experts do not admire the Greek tugboat company's ability in command.

The five tugboats, except for the maximum horsepower tugboat that was towed in the front, the other four tugboats on both sides had different horsepower.

The Chinese expert team on the rescue ship often looked at the Varyag that was moving forward at a constant speed with a telescope from time to time.

On the coast on both sides of the Bosphorus Bridge, people were already standing.

Even the bridge 2,800 meters long and connecting the Eurasian continent is full of people who have long received the news.

This aircraft carrier is a symbol of the Soviet Union during its peak period.

Now, the Soviet Union has been disintegrated for more than ten years.

But this aircraft carrier is still there.

"China should make this aircraft carrier reborn!" One man looked at the deck in the distance, covered with red rust and slowly came, and sighed at his friends around him.

"No, as long as the Chinese can make it themselves, they will not buy it." His friend shook his head directly, "If it were towed back a few years ago, maybe the Chinese would rebuild this aircraft carrier..."

"The hull has been built, which can reduce a lot of costs and save construction period..."

"This is even more impossible. If the Chinese could get the original supporting equipment, it would be almost the same. But if this is true, Ukraine itself would complete the construction of this aircraft carrier instead of selling it..."

"It's a pity that this aircraft carrier is not really used to transform this huge aircraft carrier into a gambling ship, right? They have transformed two Kiev-class aircraft carriers..."

For the world, the Chinese are too much.

It doesn't even give the minimum respect the aircraft carrier should have.

The aircraft carrier is the world's top war machine, and it's nothing to visit after retirement.
