The third more

The commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, Avakiants, who was in charge of negotiating with the Chinese representative, General Zhang, and Vorobev, who served as the representative of the Ministry of National Defense, were also set in Vladivostok. Sell what you need to get rid of.

General Zhang did not have time to spend time with the Soviet representatives, so at the very beginning of the negotiations, he showed a very tough and aggressive posture, and pointed out all kinds of problems between the Kenda-class missile cruisers and the Type 956 destroyers in front of the Soviet representatives.

"The Kenda-class missile cruiser, as the first generation of missile cruisers in the Soviet Union, I think it goes without saying how long he has been in service, a ship that has been in service for such a long time. The Chinese side will not pay a high price to buy such a ship, and we are worried that the cost of maintenance will be higher than the cost of buying a new ship. As for the current Type 956 destroyer, I will not mention it, it has low boiler power, troublesome maintenance, and frequent breakdowns. And with a ship that has been in use for almost fourteen years, how can we afford to spend a lot of money on a destroyer that is destined to become a thing of the past. ”

At the negotiating table, General Zhang still used Chinese to talk to the Soviet delegation, after all, some professional translators of terms were more accurate than him.

To General Zhang's disappointment, when he finished picking the first wave of thorns, the other party didn't react at all, and still waited for General Zhang to continue. Especially when the four eyes were exchanged with Avakiyanc, the other party even just smiled and nodded, politely showing goodwill.

This made him feel a little at a loss, as if he was going to give the other party a blow that would directly make them mess up, but he didn't expect this punch to hit the cotton, and it didn't hurt. The Soviets don't seem to care at all how dilapidated their ships are, and there is even a feeling that you love to buy and sell.

There's no way around it. General Zhang had planned to launch a second wave of attacks after their rebuttal, gradually destroying the other side's confidence in negotiations, but in this case, General Zhang continued to exert pressure until Avakiantss and Vorobev gave in because of their losses. However, looking at the two amiable high-ranking naval officials opposite, General Zhang was really worried that the other party would not eat hard or soft.

General Zhang continued, "China's purchase of your Kenda-class and Type 956 Hyundai-class is far less cost-effective than the purchase of your unfinished Yekaterinburg and Nevsky, at least the latter is still an unfinished destroyer, and there is still the value of modifications. And not a bunch of old guys who have been running for decades and are about to be scrapped. If your offer is not reasonable enough, the Chinese side can only regret that we are only willing to buy your remaining two unbuilt ships, instead of buying a bunch of broken copper and iron to go back. ”

"If you don't want to, this is the end of the negotiations."

General Zhang directly threw out a threat.

Originally, he wanted to sell the obsolete ships in a hurry, but he didn't expect the other party to focus on his unfinished destroyers, Avakiants's brows furrowed, he turned his head and exchanged heads with Vorobev, and his eyes glanced at the Chinese delegation from time to time.

Seeing this scene, General Zhang's lips outlined an imperceptible arc, it seems that the other party has officially fallen into his trap, as long as he grasps the rhythm next, he can completely achieve the purpose of buying Yekaterinburg and Nevsky, and sending the modern and Kenda classes.

However, he obviously did not expect that the Soviet delegation would be very cautious in proposing that General Zhang's request could be considered.

"Yekaterinburg and Nevsky can be sold, after all, after abandoning the Type 956, the Soviet Navy intends to abandon the construction of a series of subsequent models. If the Chinese side buys the demand, the Soviet side will also make a careful decision, what do you think? General Zhang. ”

Originally, he would have thought that the Soviet Navy was even more nervous and the old ships could not be sold, but he did not expect that they were ready to sell the unfinished destroyers.

"Of course, if the Chinese side is willing, the two destroyers, including a set of supporting SA-N-7 air defense missile systems and 3M-30 supersonic anti-ship missiles, as well as new steam boilers, and all updated communication systems, will be sold in a package of $800 million, and I think this contract will definitely not let you suffer." ”

Eight hundred million dollars for two brand-new Type 956E, this price is already a good choice for the Chinese side, and two modern-class ships were bought at a good price.

"Okay, the Chinese side is willing to accept this price. And what about the Kenda-class and Modern-class destroyers that followed? What price do you offer? General Zhang asked directly. The most important part of this negotiation has been agreed, so the next Hyundai class and Kenda class are a little irrelevant, and if the price proposed by the other party is too outrageous, General Zhang directly refuses.

"A Kenda-class and a Hyundai-class, totaling 120 million, were sold to the Chinese side." Vorobev said.

"We refuse the price." General Zhang replied directly, "We will not spend 100 million yuan to buy a Kenda-class and Hyundai-class without supporting facilities, the Chinese side is not a fool, and we also ask the Soviet side to show due sincerity." ”

In the eyes of General Zhang, the Kenda class and the modern class without supporting facilities are at most 90 million, and he will not accept the price on the Internet.

Avakiantss took Vorobev's words and gave General Zhang a surprise, "We are referring to the Kenda and modern classes with supporting anti-ship systems and anti-aircraft missile systems, including anti-submarine helicopters, which are priced at 120 million. ”

This time it was the turn of the Chinese representative to take a deep breath, this kind of generosity was only felt when the Saudi Arabian dog bought Dongfeng missiles, and even General Zhang felt incredible. Or is it certain that these ships are not scrapped?

"Surprised?" Avakiyants said, "We know that you are facing a lot of pressure in the strait, so this arms sale is equivalent to using Soviet ships to relieve your pressure from the Pacific region, although we have had-for-tat days before, but the Soviet side is not stupid, it knows who the real enemy is, and it also knows that if there is still infighting at this time, we will only have the fate of being suppressed by others." If China falls, the end of the USSR is not far off. ”

Vorobev said helplessly, "We don't want the tragedy of the Soviet Red Navy to be confirmed by you again. ”

General Zhang, who understood it, immediately nodded, although it is a very unreliable thing to talk about revolutionary friendship in international politics, but this time, the Soviet Union really showed sincerity to help build China's naval forces. It is impossible for them to give the ships in service to China, and they can only sell decommissioned destroyers and unfinished ships to the Chinese side at a cheap price.

Heart-to-heart, that's enough.

"Presumably at the Black Sea Shipyard, the Kiev-class you sell also gives an incredibly low price, right?" General Zhang asked casually.

Avakiantz nodded.

General Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, if this is really the case, then the Chinese navy is expected to form the first combat-capable aircraft carrier battle group by the end of this year, although the Kiev-class is not a real aircraft carrier, just a replacement for the transitional period, but it can also provide a hole card for the recent strait crisis. Based on the current Sino-Soviet alliance, the United States absolutely does not dare to act rashly. In order to force the other party to make concessions on the issue of Iwasato Masao.

"I see what you mean."

General Zhang did not expect that the Soviet Union would use such a hint to show its attitude on the strait, although this is China's internal affair and it is impossible for the other side to interfere, but when the United States really intervenes by force, the Soviet Union will stand up and show its attitude and exert political pressure on the United States.

This is tantamount to adding a hole card to the Chinese side.

"It's a pleasure to work with." General Zhang said with a smile, he is looking forward to what kind of secret loss the uninformed Americans will suffer next?

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Avakiyantz replied in the same way. (To be continued.) )
