It is indeed difficult to think that it is difficult to make the remaining Kiev-class shine, so the first thing that comes to Yanaev's mind is the Indian Asan. As the Indian Navy, which was heavily hemorrhaged by the Gorshkov pit, pulled this aircraft carrier back, only to find that this aircraft carrier was not as beautiful as the Soviet Union portrayed, and could only comfort itself that the Kiev-class was the most suitable aircraft carrier for the development of the Indian Navy so far.

India, which had no intention of continuing to purchase more ships in recent years, was deeply stimulated by a recent incident, when France sold three Agosta submarines to India's long-cherished enemy Pakistan, although India canceled a series of follow-up contracts for the purchase of fighter jets from France in retaliation against France, but this incident also caused Indian generals to become nervous, and the Indian Navy, which has always been ambitious to maintain its superiority in the Indian Ocean, is considering whether it is going to further expand its naval strength.

In India's view, only aircraft carriers have the ocean-going and maritime deterrence capabilities they need in modern naval equipment, and in order to squeeze foreign forces and maintain absolute maritime superiority over the countries surrounding the Indian Ocean, the Indian Navy must have more than two aircraft carriers, one to control the Bay of Bengal in the east and the Arabian Sea to the west. The Vikrant and Vikramaditya have achieved control of the Indian Ocean, but Pakistan's new submarines have given the Indian Navy top brass the opportunity to reach out to the Ministry of Defense for money.

Whose ships to buy and what kind of ships to buy is a question, but the Indian Navy's Deputy Chief of Staff, Lakshmi Narayan Ramdas, who has always been ambitious to create the first naval position in the Indian Ocean, smelled an opportunity from the Soviet Union's Kiev-class aircraft carrier sell-off, and he believes that this is the perfect opportunity to strengthen the Indian Navy and become the hegemon of the Indian Ocean.

So he approached Minister Kapoor of the Ministry of Defence and prepared to persuade the Minister of Defense to allocate funds for the Indian Navy to add another aircraft carrier. The formation of the combat capability of three aircraft carrier battle groups. has three aircraft carriers in one go, and only Ah Sange has the courage to be stupid and have a lot of money, and he wants to save face and make up his face.

But the idea of Ramdas frightened Kapoor, especially the idea of creating the first hegemon of the Indian Ocean seemed to him to be simply unrealistic, Minister Kapoor wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with some doubts. "So Admiral Ramdas, do you know how much of India's total annual military expenditure is now accounted for by India's two aircraft carriers? Do you know how much more we have to allocate each year to train two aircraft carrier battle groups? Do you know how badly we were pitted by the Soviet Union? And now you are actually adding a Kyiv-class aircraft carrier, IMHO, is it true that Admiral Ramdas wants our naval construction to go bankrupt so much? ”

In the face of Minister Kapoor's accusations, Admiral Ramdas calmly replied, "I think Minister Kapoor misunderstood my idea, and I don't want to continue to buy a Kyiv-class aircraft carrier." After all, it is obviously not cost-effective to buy one more aircraft carrier of this kind that will be eliminated sooner or later, I mean we don't need to buy the Kiev-class, but we can rent the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, right? Just like we rented Soviet nuclear submarines, which saved money and secured the Indian Navy's long-term plan to control the Indian Ocean with three aircraft carriers, I personally think it's worth trying. ”

"And let's not forget our opponent, Pakistan. Three submarines were recently purchased from France, if the Indian Navy does not try to make a move. Sooner or later, it will be crushed on the head by Pakistan. ”

Admiral Ramdas's statement made Kapoor fall into deep thought, to be honest, he didn't expect that the Indian Navy could lease someone else's aircraft carrier, anyway, the Soviet Kyiv-class is now only in the sea near the shipyard, and the Soviet government has to pay a monthly maintenance fee, but if India leases it, the Soviet government must be very welcoming to India.

Most importantly. Countries with aircraft carriers such as the Kiev class with aircraft carrier strike power do not look down on the castrated version of the Kiev class, and countries without aircraft carrier battle groups do not have enough funds to maintain the operation of an aircraft carrier, so the buyer of the Soviet Union can only be India, because out of India, it is impossible for other countries to buy Soviet aircraft carriers. Come to think of it. Minister Kapoor also came to feel that Admiral Ramdas's method was worth trying.

"If there is only one customer, then we can lower the price of renting a Soviet aircraft carrier, and by the way, we can make up for the loss of our aircraft carrier Vikramaditya, when the modernization of the Soviet Union cost India a lot of money, how can we let go of this opportunity to bite back." Ramdas said excitedly that it was definitely Ramdas's dream to be able to trap the Soviet Union again.

Thinking of the original aircraft carrier purchase plan, Minister Kapoor felt that his heart was bleeding. Comparing Ulyanovsk and Varyag, India's Vikramaditya aircraft carrier is nothing short of a horrific pile of scrap metal at sea that has been experimentally transformed. Of course, Kapoor would not describe this big guy as scrap metal at sea, after all, he also has to take care of the growing self-confidence of the Indian Navy.

After much deliberation, Capper breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that he had basically agreed to Ramdas's request.

"Admiral Ramdas, if you lease the Soviet Kiev-class this time, I will send you as a representative of the Navy to negotiate with the Soviet side, and I hope you can prepare first." After all, Kapoor said, this plan was proposed by Ramdas, so the entire navy belongs to him as the most suitable candidate.

"Okay, Minister Kapoor, I'm going back to negotiate the lease of the aircraft carrier, and I hope that Secretary Kapoor will give a blow to those guys who are in charge of the money bags, so that they don't have to make it difficult for the Navy to ask for military spending." Ramdas suppressed the excitement in his heart, this is definitely an opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions, if the matter of renting an aircraft carrier is negotiated this time, then he will be one step closer to the position of Chief of the General Staff of the Navy in the future.

"I know all of this, but don't let us down, Minister Ramdas." "If we succeed," Kapoor said, "we will be able to recoup all the price we paid from the Soviet Union." ”

(Amway's two books, my friend Lao Jiu's "Great God Concentration Camp" is on the shelves today, as a book recommended by blood red, I can only use blood red comments to comment, this may not be the best-selling funny book, but it is definitely the most sincere one, and it is also the book that has the most flavor of "The First Chaos in History" written.) The author of the second book "Doomsday Dirtwalker" is one of the most disciplined authors at the beginning, perhaps he is not the best achiever, but he is the hardest working one. Amway is over.
