In a hurry, Ashok Kante couldn't care about it anymore, and said urgently: "No!

"Your Excellency the Ambassador said this," Chen Geng was angry and amused: "This aircraft carrier is the property of the Soviet government, and the Soviet government can give it to whoever it wants, even if it dismantles and sells scrap iron, it is the Soviet government's own business, and this seems to have nothing to do with India, right?"

Ashok Conte also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, Mr. Fernández, you misunderstood, I mean, the Soviet Union is very interested in the Kiev. ”

"Really?" Chen Geng looked at Ashok Kante with a suspicious expression, with an expression of "What the hell are you kidding me?": "But you just obviously thought it was too expensive, believe it or not, at this price, the Huaxia government will definitely not be too expensive, and the Huaxia government will definitely sign the contract within three months?"

“......”

Ashok Cont was speechless, but he wanted to scold in his heart: We are not allowed to bargain when we buy things?

But if you think about it carefully, too, an aircraft carrier that has only been in service for 14 years, is in the prime of life, if you take people as an analogy, it is probably equivalent to a twenty-four or five-year-old young man, just in the best time of energy, intelligence and endurance, and the most important thing is that the foundation is good (full load displacement of more than 41,000 tons). The final full load displacement may even exceed 45,000 tons, so there is no doubt that this aircraft carrier will become the aircraft carrier with the largest displacement after the US Kitty Hawk class aircraft carrier and the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, and the Soviet Union's Ulyanovsk-class and Kuznetsov-class aircraft carriers.

As for India, they have never had the idea and mind of competing for hegemony with the United States and the Soviet Union, and only seek to become a regional hegemon. From this point of view, it means that once India has an all-deck medium-sized aircraft carrier modified from the aircraft carrier Kiev, India will have the most powerful maritime aircraft carrier battle group after the United States and the Soviet Union (as for France, you can ignore it for now, anyway, France's aircraft carriers only go around Europe and the Mediterranean).

Therefore, this Kiev-class ship must belong to India, and it must not be given to Huaxia!

With such a thought in his heart, Ashok Cont did not admit defeat so easily: "Hehe...... Mr. Fernandez, don't make such jokes, Huaxia is so poor, they can't afford to come up with such a sum of money......"

"Really?" Looking at Ashok Kante, Chen Geng seemed to smile: "Your Excellency, should we make a bet? Anyway, you India have no interest in this aircraft carrier." ”

Bet?

Ashok Cont didn't dare!

Don't think that India doesn't pay attention to China, in fact, Huaxia is definitely one of the countries that India is most concerned about, no way, who let China and India border, although China is very poor now, but China has a complete range of nuclear bombers, submarine-launched ballistic missiles and land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles. The range of nuclear missiles of the triad of nuclear armed forces not only covers the entire territory of India, but can even cause limited nuclear deterrence to the United States.

Don't look at it, even at this time, India's MiG-25P (high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance type) is still in and out of the skies over Tibet as if it is in a no-man's land, but do you dare to have a large-scale border conflict or even war with China?

Kill them, they don't dare!

Don't dare to make a big one doesn't mean that you don't dare to make a small move, over the years, India has never stopped making small moves under the table, and now Chen Geng looks like "you India don't buy this aircraft carrier, I will sell this aircraft carrier to Huaxia", which really scared Ashok Kante.

"Huh...... Hehe...... Mr. Fernández, you're joking," Ashok Conte digressed from the subject.

"I'm really not joking," Chen Geng looked at Ashok Kante very seriously, and said: "I know that you also need to discuss this matter, so in this way, Your Excellency, Ambassador, I will give you a week to discuss this matter, and after a week, you will give me a preliminary answer, how about it?"

The implication is that if you want to buy it, this Kyiv-class aircraft carrier will be "gifted" to you, and if you don't plan to ask for it, then you can't help it, and I will persuade the Soviet government to "gift" it to China - anyway, now the relations between the Soviet Union and China are rapidly improving and warming up.

One week?

Ashok Cont breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still sad: "Wouldn't a week be too short......

"It's not short, it's just a preliminary intention," Chen Gengcai ignored Ashok Kante's temptation, and looked like "Do you want to love it, you don't want a lot of people to want": "Of course, you can also discuss it slowly, but I will inform the Huaxia ......side of this matter in a week."

Speaking of this, Chen Geng suddenly laughed: "Your Excellency, as you know, I have a very good relationship with Huaxia, and my father and grandfather are also Chinese, so from my personal point of view, I actually hope that India will reject the goodwill of the Soviet government." ”

It seems that he wished that the Indian side would drag its feet on this matter, so that he, Fernandez Chen, could "gift" the aircraft carrier to Huaxia.

Ashok Conte's heart suddenly: Yes, yes, how did I forget this, Fernandez Chen has always been called "an old friend of the Chinese people", even in the most difficult period of the first two years in China, when foreign capital was withdrawn from China, this guy continued to increase investment in China under the pressure of the White House, is it possible for him to sell the Kiev level to Huaxia?

It's entirely possible!

And what about Huaxia? Could it be interesting for the Kiev?

Needless to say!

Realizing this, Ashok Conte's forehead suddenly sweated, and he secretly decided in his heart: even if it is urging, he must give an intention within a week...... It's just an intention, is it hard?

As soon as Ashok Kante left, Nikolai Malenkov immediately came over, and asked Chen Geng with bright eyes: "Mr. Fernandez, are you really going to send the Kiev to Huaxia?"

The Soviet side has always arranged for people to pay close attention to Chen Geng's movements, whether Chen Geng and Ashok Kante deliberately avoided people when talking, Nikolai Malenkov knew that the content of the conversation between the two was naturally not strange at all.

Chen Geng did not answer, but asked Nikolai Malenkov rhetorically: "Nikolai, what do you think?"

"We don't care," Nikolai Malenkov waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you 'gift' the Kiev to China or 'gift' it to India, as long as the Soviet Union can get what we want, everything else is not a problem." ”

In a word, we only need money, as long as we have money, even if you sell this aircraft carrier to the devil, it will not be a problem.

"That's going to be easy. Chen Geng nodded with a smile.

........................

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and Ashok Kante had come with the intention of the Indian government: "Mr. Fernandez, we have agreed to your conditions, but we need to communicate with the Soviet side on the specific details of the modification. ”

"That's as it should be. ”

Chen Geng nodded immediately, as a large modern surface ship that was only commissioned in 1977, the radar system, missile system, and electronic countermeasure system carried on the Kiev can be said to be the most advanced in the Soviet Union, and the Soviet government is definitely not willing to give all the Soviet Union's cards to India.

With Chen Geng's words, Ashok Kante also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried that there would be any more moths, although he knew that it was unlikely, but before Chen Geng's affirmative answer, Ashok Kante didn't dare to relax for a moment, and now that he had Chen Geng's answer, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Geng was going to stay in Moscow for a few days, and then go to Huaxia, according to the previous agreement with McDonald Jr., he wanted to take McDonald Jr. to visit several aircraft manufacturing companies in China, but at this time, the comrades of the Huaxia Embassy in the Soviet Union came to the door.

Well, it is Chen Geng's acquaintance, Miao Qianqian, who once served as the deputy director of the Huaxia Liaison Office in the United States.

"Ambassador Miao, rare guest," Chen Geng greeted Miao Qianqian with a face, and asked Miao Qianqian inside: "Please come in quickly, please come in, please come in......"

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Miao Qianqian did not greet Chen Geng, and with an anxious look on his face, he quickly explained his intention: "Mr. Chen, I heard that the Soviet Union is preparing to sell an aircraft carrier to India?"

Originally here for this?

Chen Geng didn't care about why the Huaxia side was able to find out about this matter so quickly, and in the current turbulent situation of the Soviet Union, the whole country was like a sieve, and as long as it cost a little money, wasn't it normal for Huaxia to get such information? Moreover, since Miao Qianjin had already come to the door, it meant that the Huaxia side had almost verified this matter, and perhaps they even knew what role they had played in this matter.

He didn't hesitate and nodded: "That's the case." ”

Really?

Miao Qianqian's face changed: "Can you give me a general introduction to this matter?"

Chen Geng glanced at Miao Qianqian, and seemed a little embarrassed: "This ...... Isn't that okay?"

"This matter is very important to Huaxia," Miao Qianqian's expression became serious: "Mr. Chen, you also know that India now has two aircraft carriers, if there is another one, it will be three, so that in the near future, India will form a powerful maritime combat force with three aircraft carrier battle groups, second only to the United States and the Soviet Union, and will also have a great impact on Huaxia's overseas interests." ”

What he didn't say was that when the Huaxia side learned about Chen Geng's role in this matter, the top brass almost exploded: How can Fernández Chen do the same? You are an old friend of the Huaxia people, how can you do such a thing to help your old friend's opponent develop military strength

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Chen Geng nodded immediately, as a large modern surface ship that was only commissioned in 1977, the radar system, missile system, and electronic countermeasure system carried on the Kiev can be said to be the most advanced in the Soviet Union, and the Soviet government is definitely not willing to give all the Soviet Union's cards to India.

Is that really true? Is that really the case?
