Dominate South Asia

It is now 1994, and in history, the Soviet Union, which was in turmoil, had already completed the construction of the Kuznetsov and conducted sea trials when it disintegrated in 1991, but now the progress has been pushed back three years.

The reason is also lamentable. In order to develop the economy, the army chose to be tolerant. The continuous reduction of military expenditures has slowed down the construction progress of machines such as aircraft carriers that burn money. However, the reduction of military expenditures and the investment in economic reforms are still a bottomless pit. The living standards of the Soviet people have not improved, and now it has still disintegrated.

The Soviet Union, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a huge country with 15 republics, collapsed, and each republic declared independence and began to inherit the industries left by the Soviet Union in its own territory.

In addition to Russia, which has the largest land area, many military industries were built in Ukraine due to its geographical location during the Soviet era. For example, the largest Black Sea shipyard, the only aircraft carrier construction base of the Soviet Union, has been assigned to Ukraine.

The construction of the aircraft carrier has stopped. Makarov, the director of the Black Sea Shipyard, stood on the dock of the factory area, looking at the entire shipyard that had stopped working. His heart seemed to be as gray as the sky at this time.

The Soviet Union, the Central Committee of the Party, the State Planning Commission, the Military Industrial Commission and the nine defense industry ministries, these superior departments no longer exist. These symbols of national maritime power, huge aircraft carriers, can no longer be built.

"Boom, boom." At this time, the roar of helicopters sounded in the distant sky.

Makarov looked up and saw several navy Ka-28 ship-borne helicopters flying from a distance. These helicopters just wiped out the Soviet sickle and axe patterns. No new patterns were painted.

Where did these helicopters come from? Makarov looked at these helicopters. At this time, the whole country was in chaos, and the army had no unified management, so these helicopters could fly at will.

I saw these helicopters heading straight for the Kuznetsov, which had just docked at the dock yesterday. The Soviet Union disintegrated, and the sea trial of Kuznetsov was hastily ended and returned to the Black Sea Shipyard.

On the bare deck. Several helicopters landed, and Lieutenant General Uskimenko, deputy commander of the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet, got off the helicopter and waved to the Russian officers and soldiers who stayed on the warship: "Start the boiler and prepare to return!"

In order to divide the family property of the Soviet era, Da Mao and Er Mao also tore their faces. When the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was built, it was intended to serve the Northern Fleet, so Da Mao thought. This should be a warship of the Northern Fleet, but it has just disintegrated. Independent Ukraine believes that this warship is now in Ukraine's Black Sea Shipyard, so it should be a Ukrainian warship!

With Ukraine's national strength, of course it can't afford this aircraft carrier, but it can sell this aircraft carrier to Russia again, so that it can get a sum of income. This is the Ukrainian government's plan.

Faced with this "rogue" behavior of the Ukrainian government. The Russian Navy certainly did not agree. Now, as the main person in charge of handling this matter, Lieutenant General Uskimenko, the deputy commander of the Northern Fleet, simply flew directly to the Kuznetsov!

The helicopters behind him were all soldiers of the Navy Special Forces.

This warship was already equipped with crews during the sea trial stage, so that the personnel and equipment could be adjusted during the sea trial. When it enters service, it can directly form combat effectiveness.

Seeing the Vice Admiral of the Northern Fleet personally come to this warship, the Russian officers and soldiers on the ship cheered immediately.

"The Soviet Navy Department has long decided that from the moment this warship is launched, we will serve in the Northern Fleet. Most of the officers here also come from the Northern Fleet. According to the regulations on the ship, each of us has only 5 minutes a day to talk to our families on the phone. We all look forward to going home as soon as possible. Kravchuk's desire to take away the aircraft carrier is simply wishful thinking!" Major Stolychak couldn't help but say that he had been looking forward to this day.

"No! This warship has not completed sea trials! It can only be done here, at the Jugulayev Shipyard! Otherwise, if something goes wrong, how can we repair it at sea?" said another lieutenant colonel.

This lieutenant colonel is of Ukrainian ethnicity. He does not want to serve in the Northern Fleet. Ukraine has become independent, and he hopes to stay in Ukraine.

Captain Yarekin of the "Kuznetsov" stood on the bridge, looking at all this, with a kind of sadness in his heart. He used to be loyal to the Soviet Union, but now the Soviet Union is gone. The brothers at that time now have differences, and this difference must be resolved by violent means!

"This warship originally belongs to the Northern Fleet. Those who do not want to stay on this warship can leave voluntarily!" Lieutenant General Uskimenko shouted loudly. Behind him, the special forces stood in two rows with guns, ready to suppress those disobedient Ukrainian guys at any time.

Without manpower, navigation will be more difficult, but if these Ukrainian guys on the warship make trouble during the voyage, such as destroying a boiler's pressure reducing valve, the boiler may explode due to overpressure, and the power system will be lost. The warship can only return to the Black Sea Shipyard for modification.

Therefore, at this time, these unstable factors must be eliminated! Lieutenant General Uskimenko did not want to cause bloodshed unless it was absolutely necessary, but he was mentally prepared enough.

We must take this warship back to the Northern Fleet!

Fortunately, the confrontation did not happen. On the warship that was undergoing sea trials, no personal weapons were prepared for the officers and soldiers. The local Ukrainian people packed up and got off the warship. The rest were officers and soldiers who were eager to return to Russia.

Thick smoke came out of the chimney of the warship, and the heavy oil boiler was ignited, ready to return to the Northern Fleet.

"Director, director, those Russians are going to take away the Kuznetsov!" A worker in the factory hurried over and said to Makarov.

Looking at this worker, Makarov felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. At this time, other leaders in the factory were thinking about finding a way out for themselves, and they didn't care about the life and death of the factory at all, but these workers at the bottom still loved the factory like home.

Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. The Soviet Union disappeared, and the orders for warship construction, the main business of the Black Sea Shipyard, would also shrink significantly. Maybe there would be no new orders in a few years. The ones that are being built now may not be completed. Many workers in the factory may lose their jobs and have to make a living on their own.

"Let them fight, it has nothing to do with us." Makarov was disheartened: "These have nothing to do with us."

After saying that, he turned his head and walked towards his residence.

The Kuznetsov was driven away, and what about the Varyag? There is still 20% of the construction left. Can it be completed? What about the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier on the slipway? Makarov walked back, but he was still thinking about the fate of these warships.

"Hello, Mr. Makarov." Just when he returned to his villa on the Volosh sandbar next to the Black Sea Shipyard, a middle-aged man appeared in front of him and greeted him.

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the title of comrade was replaced by Mr. and Ms. Makarov. Makarov still couldn't accept it and didn't have much good feelings for the person in front of him: "Who are you? What do you want to see me for?"

"Hello, my name is Shostakovich. I'm here to invite you on behalf of someone." Shostakovich said to the factory director in front of him.

Shostakovich had been to the Black Sea Shipyard many times and had formed deep friendships with many middle-level cadres below. Shostakovich was also very clear about who was truly talented and who was just flattering.

The Soviet Union disintegrated! This was the best opportunity for Pakistan. Shostakovich also temporarily ended his role as a military advisor beside Saddam and ran to the vast republics after the disintegration of the Soviet Union to help Pakistan recruit talents.

In the Soviet era, those engineers who were still enthusiastic about the Soviet Union were not persuaded by Shostakovich. Now, the Soviet Union is gone, and those people's ideals have been shattered. In this case, Shostakovich easily persuaded a large number of technical engineers to go to Pakistan.

Now, this is Shostakovich's first contact with Makarov. He knows that he may not be able to persuade the old factory director just by this time, but after a few visits, it will be effective.

Makarov can be said to be an elite in the Soviet shipbuilding industry. He has rich experience in construction and management. If Makarov goes to Pakistan, he can further help Pakistan improve its shipbuilding level!

Now, hearing Makarov's question, Shostakovich continued: "I am entrusted by Pakistani President Muhammad to ask you to visit and guide the Pakistani shipyard when it is convenient."

Pakistan President, Muhammad? Makarov remembered some past events in his mind. President Muhammad had been to the Black Sea Shipyard and had a cordial conversation with him, and also made many valuable suggestions.

Pakistan's development has attracted everyone's attention. Now, Pakistan is starting to build its own aircraft carrier, and has entered the final outfitting stage! This is an incredible achievement!

"Okay, I accept this invitation, and I am looking forward to this trip to Pakistan." Makarov said.

The precarious situation made Makarov very sad. At this time, leaving this sad place, leaving these disputes, and going to Pakistan to have a look may be a good choice! Makarov agreed to Shostakovich's invitation. But he didn't know that when he went to Pakistan, he met so many familiar faces, and he would also play a role in Pakistan for the rest of his life.
