Chapter 297: There are actually twelve ships! Two more
In Ye Kai's sight, there were six nuclear submarines that looked tattered, they were very large, and they seemed to have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, but the appearance was indeed a little miserable, with traces of bumps and bumps everywhere, and the skin in some places was warped, and mottled rust appeared.

"Didn't you say that a nuclear submarine with a titanium shell will not rust?" Ye Kai immediately expressed serious dissatisfaction, "Why do the nuclear submarines here look so bad, worse than garbage?" If it's all like this, IMHO, this business can't be cooperated. β
The person in charge who accompanied him to inspect these nuclear submarines immediately explained, "Mr. Ye, you misunderstood, in fact, these are dismantled nuclear submarines, so they look bleak, and the rust on the outer skin is actually camouflage." β
"A nuclear submarine that was supposed to be dismantled?" When Ye Kai heard this, he immediately became interested, so he asked why.
It turned out that these six nuclear submarines were scrapped a few years ago, but in fact, the internal situation is good, and the reason is that because the military high-level at that time wanted more funds from the government to build nuclear submarines, so these nuclear submarines were artificially scrapped.
It is for this reason that there are now more than 100 nuclear submarines in Russia, which is also very scary, not counting those that have been decommissioned and scrapped, as well as the number of nuclear submarines that are applying for scrapping.
Nima, this kind of method, it's no wonder that the Soviet Union doesn't disintegrate!
Ye Kai slandered in his heart for a while, and then asked about the situation of these nuclear submarines in detail.
"At that time, although we ordered to dismantle these nuclear submarines, we calculated that the cost of dismantling was very high, and the titanium alloy structure of the hull was not so easy to divide, plus the appropriations at that time were divided among the high-level officials, so these ships were already thrown here and were not dismantled." The head of the base explained.
Ye Kai nodded, agreeing with this statement.
As far as he knows, dismantling the hull does require a lot of effort, and it also requires financial investment.
Since the base has not received financial investment, of course it is unwilling to do such a thankless thing, this time Ye Kai came over, just to solve this problem, after all, as long as he pulls these nuclear submarines away, the previous financial loopholes will be completely plugged.
"Does Comrade General know about this?" Ye Kai asked with some curiosity.
"Comrade General only cares about more important things, and he doesn't ask about small things." The head of the base replied.
Ye Kai heyed, and said in his heart that it is estimated that among the people who divided the money back then, Comrade General Cupbiev was also indispensable.
"Let's go and see six more scrapped nuclear submarines." Ye Kai proposed.
"No problem at all." The person in charge of the base immediately led Ye Kai and the others to another water hole, and the space of this water hole was larger than the one just now.
Although it is impossible to see how deep it is, the height above the surface of the water is as high as several floors, and in such a large water hole, the six nuclear submarines are hidden under the water like behemoths, and only the bridge floats on the water.
Ye Kai looked at it at a glance and saw that these six nuclear submarines were different from the six he had seen before, the surface was smooth as a mirror, there was no scar, and all kinds of parts were tightly fitted, and they looked full of power, just like new.
"These six nuclear submarines have only been driven out a few times, and they are almost brand new, but the guys from the National Defense Committee, for some reason, actually scrapped them all." The person in charge of the base looked at these nuclear submarines and said with some regret, but he also expressed his bitterness, "If nothing else, the cost of maintaining them is very high, and if you go out, it will cost a lot of money, and now Russia has more than 100 nuclear submarines in service, which is really too much." β
These six nuclear submarines are nuclear submarines of the same class as the "Komsomol" and belong to the "Goldfish" series.
Their pressure-resistant hulls are made of titanium, 122 meters long, 11.5 meters wide, have a displacement of 9,700 tons, a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and carry 10 torpedoes, two of which have nuclear warheads, allowing them to dive to depths of 1,200 meters that no other submarine has ever reached. It launches missiles under deep water and can strike the entire northern part of Europe, making it the world's largest and most advanced attack nuclear submarine.
As the highest level of work in the former Soviet Union, I am afraid that such a work will not appear again for many years.
In fact, in Ye Kai's impression, the quality level of Russia's new nuclear submarines after that did not meet the previous standards.
"But in this case, my manpower will be a little insufficient......" Ye Kai immediately considered another problem.
Originally, he only came for these six nuclear submarines, but now there are twelve, although those six are in tatters, they are also a real whole, and they can be driven, but his demand for the number of operators has doubled all of a sudden, which makes Ye Kai where to find it for a while?
"With all due respect...... the person in charge of the base immediately said, "You can hire my men, they are all very dedicated and professional naval personnel." β
Ye Kai was silent for a moment, this matter is really a bit difficult to do, if the personnel on each nuclear submarine are mainly their own people, then the situation can be controlled, but if the Russians are the mainstream, then this matter is a little unsafe, in case they mutiny on the way, what should they do?
This made Ye Kai's brain hurt and he didn't know what to do.
However, he finally thought about it and thought that there should be no trouble, after all, Russia is now short of money from top to bottom, as long as they are given enough dollars and food to feed their families, these submariners will be happy to accept such a mission.
After all, this task was personally arranged by the Deputy Chief of the General Staff and Chief of Military Intelligence, Senior General Chubiev, and there would be no loopholes in the formalities.
"Well, try to arrange more secure staff, the remuneration will be very good, and I will give priority to food assistance for the participants." Ye Kai said.
Although Ye Kai does not do a large amount of material exchange trade with Russia now, it is actually very convenient to transport some food and daily necessities, but it is just to open a few more international cargo flights.
Now the Russians actually still have some money in their hands, but there is a shortage of materials, Ye Kai gave priority to getting a batch of food and daily necessities, which will definitely stabilize the morale of the army and make these people work for him with all their hearts.
"Great, sailors and officers, and technical experts, it is estimated that there will be thousands of them." The person in charge made a rough calculation, "After this mission, each person will have to pay 10,000 US dollars, right?" β
10,000 dollars is not much, but in today's Russia, it can make the family live very comfortably, after all, this is a dollar, not a ruble, and the purchasing power is very strong.
"As long as you do well, I will give 20,000!" Ye Kai waved his hand.
This time, he still made a lot of money, after all, the scrap of six nuclear submarines suddenly became a whole ship, and the value was very different, and the reason he gave the high salary was not only to appease these people, but also to store the idea of poaching people, if these people can join their team, then whether it is technicians or operators, they are complete.
There is no bright future in Russia now, and I hope that these people will like to live a stable life in the republic.
The treatment of the Russian military is really too poor, and recently a group of generals have been suddenly promoted, making the number of active Russian generals more than 1,500, and the deep-seated reason behind this promotion, in addition to President Yeltsin's desire to control the military, is also to cover up the lack of military investment and give the people a false impression that the Russian army is still strong.
However, the treatment of middle and lower-ranking officers and soldiers is so poor that many officers do not even have their own housing, but need to rent small hotels to live in, which can be seen from this.
Ye Kai is convinced that his dollar strategy can capture most of the Russian officers and soldiers, as well as technical experts.
For the person in charge of the base, Ye Kai directly gave 200,000 US dollars in cash.
After he got the money, he was very excited, took a stack of dollars, kissed it affectionately, and then said to Ye Kai, "God, looking at the dollars, I can tell you a big secret!" β
Ye Kai was also curious, what big secret would he have? Could it be the topic of nuclear submarines?
It's just that before the two of them officially entered the topic, someone outside came to report, "General Lebesky, an urgent notice from Comrade General, saying that someone from the Military Supervision Department has come to review the status of the six nuclear submarines that have applied for decommissioning and make an assessment report." β
"Hell, why are these people here all of a sudden......" The head of the base, General Lebesky, heard this, and a trace of panic suddenly appeared on his face, "How long will it take?!" β
"I'll be there in an hour." The subordinate replied.
Strictly speaking, the six brand-new nuclear submarines that Ye Kai saw just now have not yet been officially approved for decommissioning, and the people from the Military Supervision Department came to review them on the spot, and then make a decision on whether to approve the decommissioning.
Obviously, if they saw the brand-new nuclear submarine, the matter would probably be messed up.
General Lebesky, of course, would not agree to this happening, he immediately had an idea, and ordered his subordinates, "Immediately start to paint the appearance of the six old nuclear submarines with the number of these six ships that have been scrapped!" There are also some manipulations on the exterior to at least make them look more like the real thing! β
"Yes, General!" The men immediately went to work.
"Hell, these vampires, it looks like they're going to need to break through again!" General Lebesky muttered.
Ye Kai listened to his words, and his heart immediately relaxed, since he was a vampire, it was much easier to deal with than a righteous gentleman.
