The second more

When Yanayev heard that Yanayev was going to sell the aircraft carrier to China at a symbolic price, everyone present was not calm, and Kryuchkov said that the Soviet Union would not want to use such a way to keep China now. Pavlov also believed that the United States was only trying to win over China, and that the Soviet Union would not use such means to make friends between the two countries.

Only Yanayev smiled and said nothing, you are willing to give it, but people are not willing to accept it. After listening to the discussions of others, he explained, "Haven't all the comrades here considered whether China is willing to accept our early retirement of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier? Otherwise, why would you think that I would be so generous in giving away a Kiev-class? ”

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that Yanayev sending out the aircraft carrier had another layer of hidden meaning, and they all stopped to listen to Yanayev continue.

"So far, China is still focused on economic construction, and they don't even have the financial resources to maintain an aircraft carrier fleet, so if they are given a Kiev-class, it will only be a simple maintenance in the port. What's more, after the economy really developed, will a conventional aircraft carrier built under the influence of saturated offensive tactics in the seventies still enter their eyes? I'm afraid that the only thing they can see at that time will be the American Nimitz-class or our Ulyanovsk. For this reason, even if we send the aircraft carrier to China, they will not necessarily accept it. ”

What Yanayev said is true, China is not interested in aircraft carriers now because it has no money to raise a fleet, and in the future, if they have money, they will definitely not be able to look down on the Soviet Union. When the time comes, it's not a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, are you embarrassed to give it away? Moreover, China was still vague about sea power until after the 1996 crisis. Only then did they catch up and build a strong Eastern Fleet.

"Sending aircraft carriers is not about making them happy. Tell them in such a way. The Soviet Union and China are allies and partners who are separated by a strip of water, and if something happens to anyone in the future, it will be the Americans who are snickering. In order to better let China understand this, I decided to change the name of the aircraft carrier that I gave away. ”

Yanayev's chosen aircraft carrier is the Minsk, which was originally bought by China in history and converted into a theme park in Shenzhen, and now Yanayev wants to sell the aircraft carrier half and give it to China.

"The name of the aircraft carrier has been changed to Wu Shu with Chinese charm, China once had a dynasty called the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Shu and Wu three countries side by side. In order to resist the most powerful state of Wei, the two states of Wu and Shu formed an alliance in order to achieve stability and equilibrium in the situation. Yanayev also explained the origin of the name to everyone present by the way, which also made the ****** members present unexpectedly that General Secretary Yanayev was still a China expert.

This can be regarded as giving ****** a calligraphy and painting of watching the sea and listening to the waves and a tiger talisman have the same effect. With such a clear hint, how could it be impossible for the Chinese leaders to understand Yanayev's good intentions? Of course, some people asked, what if China really accepted the aircraft carrier we sent out?

"If you sell it, you can sell it, not to mention that this aircraft carrier is worthless in our hands. After the two incidents in India and South Korea, what other deep-pocketed turtles will come to buy the remaining two aircraft carriers? Saudi Arabia's big dog owners don't need it, and Argentina might be tempted to try it if they bid cheaper, but after the Falklands War, their economy has deteriorated to the point where they may not be able to afford another aircraft carrier. What's more, the two ships sold have already paid back and made a profit. The remaining two ships are waiting for the buyer. ”

As a result, the decision of the Soviet Union to sell the Minsk to China touched the hearts of the three countries, and the Chinese side said that it was flattered. Because they have never encountered a country that sells its weapons to another country in the form of half selling and half giving away, and the United States says that your uncle's Soviet Union should not work so hard, India spent more than 20 million US dollars to buy a British aircraft carrier that has been in service for almost 30 years, and you actually sold an aircraft carrier for only 15 million US dollars. Does your aircraft carrier not cost money?

And the Indian Asanmen said, I will drink a bowl of Ganges water to suppress the shock.

The question also came all of a sudden, that is, whether China should take over this somewhat hot potato, although the $15 million second-hand aircraft carrier is very attractive to China, but considering the follow-up series of maintenance, the formation of the aircraft carrier battle group spent on the funds, the Chinese side has a bit of a headache, in the era when everything is centered on economic construction, where do they have so much money for the navy to squander a combat aircraft carrier group, not to mention that the Soviet Union's Kiev-class is not a real aircraft carrier, can only be said to be an aircraft-carrying cruiser. China did not buy the Ai, an obsolete cruiser.

Compared with this, the Chinese side is more concerned about Yanayev's naming of the aircraft carrier, Wu Shu. All Chinese who have some historical concepts know what this obvious metaphor means, and I am afraid that the Soviet Union is trying to send China an aircraft carrier, that is, to say this meaning with concrete actions.

In front of the United States, they can only unite, otherwise what awaits them is to be controlled, or to die.

At the same time, the United States also began to get in the way, and they vowed to come up with a report saying that the Soviet Union's move was to undermine harmony in the Asia-Pacific region, first selling the Kiev-class to India and South Korea, and now giving another ship to China for free, with the aim of provoking an arms race among Asian countries in the Pacific region, undermining political stability and unity in the Asia-Pacific region, and achieving the goal of exporting its own arms to Asian countries.

Of course, everyone can see that this US report is a slap in the face, because the US government selectively ignored their forced purchase and sale of their arms to the conflict zone, and the Soviet Foreign Minister immediately retorted, saying that you red necks are pretending to be what you dare to touch your conscience and say that there is no CIA agent involved in the arms sale in the current conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina? Do you dare to say that the CIA is not in collusion with the Ta-Liban? Do you dare to say that Colombia's drug lords have grown big in South America without the help of the CIA? Obviously you are the destroyer of world peace, but you forcibly poured sewage on the Soviet Union, so you have to force your face, okay?

The Soviet Union's generous statement protested against the United States, saying that what you are saying is very loud and I can't hear it, as if I am a hooligan and I am shameless.

Then, in the midst of the foreign ministry between the Soviet Union and the United States, the silent Chinese side suddenly announced that they were grateful to the Soviet Union for its kindness, and that China's economy was now in the process of developing and that aircraft carriers were not needed for the time being, and the foreign ministry spokesman reiterated that China and the Soviet Union are now comprehensive strategic partners in the development of cooperative relations, and will maintain the same pace on certain international issues.

The comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership has developed a higher level than the previous strategic cooperative partnership, which is the most senior cooperative relationship in the terms of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so far, and this relationship includes economic, political, military and other aspects. Of course, in terms of emotional closeness, it is second only to the all-weather strategic partnership of Pakistan and Railway.

China's statement made both the Soviet Union and the United States breathe a sigh of relief. The United States is glad that China did not accept this sweet poison for them, while the Soviet Union is glad that they finally got the assurances that the two countries will advance and retreat together in the general direction.

However, Yanayev's trick is not over, if the aircraft carrier is only a gift to China on the surface, then the United States' concern is another gift to China in secret, and I wonder if the Chinese representative can understand this painstaking effort.

Sure enough, the United States began to panic, and what the Soviet Union did seemed to be almost losing its capital to support China, could it be that the leaders of the Soviet Union had given up the dream of dominating the world during the Cold War and became an assistant wholeheartedly? Like the relationship between Britain and the United States?

The Soviet Union's political goals must not be achieved, and China must become an ally of the United States, not of the Soviet Union. The United States, which was racking its brains to deal with the Soviet Union, finally came up with its own means to revive some of the military cooperation projects that were honeymoons between China and the United States in the eighties.

However, the Americans did not know that Yanayev's conspiracy was to lead the high-level officials in Washington to think in this direction and to pave the way for China's arms replacement with the help of US arms sales.

"China, there are not many opportunities to trap the United States, you have to take advantage of it." Yanayev said silently in his heart. (To be continued.) )
