"I wonder if Pakistan is interested in leasing Soviet aircraft carriers? But I think Pakistan, a country like Pakistan that is quick and generous, is the real first choice of the Soviet Union. ”

Yazov finally said the name that the Indian delegates did not want to hear, as the main culprit hindering India's reunification, the reason for the annual increase in military spending, and the reason why Azov was jointly cheated by other arms sales countries, Pakistan is naturally the most unpopular country in India, and there is no one.

Obviously, Ramdas frightened what the army Yazov said, Pakistan had already bought three French submarines, and now it is looking for the Soviet Union to lease a Kiev-class, which is clearly preparing to play an arms race at sea with India. After lighting up the skill tree of the Ganges, Ramdas's brain began to magnify infinitely, in fact, Yazov was just saying that he might make a deal with Pakistan.

"Minister Yazov, I protest against this practice of your country, which is challenging the bottom line and patience of the Indian side, and we will absolutely not allow such a situation! The aircraft carrier is ours! Ramdas said angrily, now it is not a problem of 23.4 million funds, but a problem of India's maritime strategic deployment, if Pakistan really lets another Kiev-class, then the Indian Navy's painstakingly built Indian Ocean hegemony plan will also be in vain.

This is simply ridiculous and unacceptable for Ramdas.

"Protest?" Yazov lightly picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water, before slowly raising his head and looking at the other party with a meaningful look, "Does the protest mean that India wants to use all means to prevent the Soviet Union from selling arms?" Do you think you are qualified to stop a European hegemon? ”

Azov's words made Ramdas not know how to reply for a while, but he still made a tough attitude and tried to make a final stubborn resistance, but Defense Minister Comrade Yazov has always been as sharp as his style. His next words made Ramdas truly aware of India's current awkward situation.

"I don't think General Ramdas has figured out the awkward situation your national navy is in right now, right? The wreck of the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier means that you will no longer be able to use this aircraft carrier for maritime patrol missions in the near future, of course, you can also choose to give up the lease of the Soviet Minsk, the big deal is that the Soviet Union will suffer a little loss, and lease the castrated version to the Pakistani Navy at a price of 13 million, but I think the Pakistani side is much more generous than the Indian Navy. ”

In this way, Yazov broke Ramdas's heart step by step, and he put down the water glass. Looking around at the Indian delegation, he chuckled softly, "Also, do you think that the Soviet Union really had only one buyer from India running for the Minsk?" The purchase price proposed by the delegations of Egypt and Argentina was also not bad, and I thought that India, which was the most powerful, should be the most generous bidder, but I didn't expect it......"

Comrade Yazov shook his head, and Ramdas, who was directly opposite, was turning pale. He glanced at Colonel Egorov beside him, and the other man took out a stack of photographs with great interest. Before all Indian delegations.

After seeing the photo, Ramdas almost fell to the ground unsteadily, and the others had the same expression. Because they saw themselves naked in the photo and the blonde waitress next to them, who was also naked and choppy. The angle of the shot is very subtle, showing the various beings of the Indian hierarchy in front of everyone.

"Are Ukrainian girls fun?"

Yazov said with a wicked smile, he picked up one of the photos, shook it in front of the Indian delegation, and said with a slight smugness, "I didn't expect the Indian delegates to be so unfocused." All hooked. When I applied for the swallow in the KGB, I was worried that you Orthodox Christians or Hindus would refuse the temptation, but it was obvious. I think too much. ”

He threw the photo in front of Ramdas and the other delegates, who bit his lip to try to look as indifferent as he could, and he looked up and asked, "What do you guys want?" ”

"Don't you know what you want? Or is there a choice in India now? No. You have no choice. Either you sign the contract obediently, or the negotiation fails. The next day, all of these photos appear in the newspapers of any country in the world, and the choice is yours. ”

Yazov didn't want to push the other party too hard, so he discussed with Ramdas and said, "Of course, we won't be too harsh on our esteemed guests, and the price of $23.4 million can be reduced to $21.2 million." This price is our bottom line. ”

Ramdas waited for the other party's glance, even if it was 21.2 million US dollars, the Soviet Union still had a large profit margin, and his tone was a little helpless, "I need to report this offer to my superiors, after all, the price is not something we can change at will." ”

Comrade Yazov made a gesture of please, and then announced the temporary suspension of the negotiations, and the parties entered the stage of a pause.

"Colonel Egorov, the Indian delegation obviously can't support it, I think India's reporting of the price to the higher authorities is the beginning of fooling their leaders, after all, Ramdas's praise of the Minsk alone will make Kapoor suspicious, but Kapoor can't withstand the praise of a group of people."

Yazov lit a cigarette in the corridor, and the next thing is the key to the success of the Minsk, he has already played all the open and hidden cards in his hand, and now the choice is handed over to the Indian side, after all, they are the final buyers, and all Yazov's means can only be exhausted.

"Will they do what we want?" Colonel Egorov, who negotiated with Yazov, was clearly not very convinced that everything would turn out as the Soviet Union wished.

The entire corridor was quiet and cold, only echoes and breathing could be heard between the two sides, Yazov spat out a puff of smoke and said slowly, "Probability?" I think only eighty percent. The remaining 20 percent is that Defense Minister Kapoor gave up leasing the Minsk, in fact, now as long as one country offers to lease them second-hand aircraft carriers, the Soviet deal will be aborted at any time. Fortunately, however, it is clear that no other country is willing to do so. ”

Yazov threw away the cigarette that was about to burn out in his hand, stepped on it with his boots, turned his head and said to Colonel Egorov, "Wait, it's been a week, and I don't care about the next few hours." For the sake of the future of the motherland, the Indian Navy must take over this plate. (To be continued.) )
