Chapter 297 There are actually twelve ships! [Second update]
In Ye Kai's line of sight, six shabby-looking nuclear submarines appeared. They were quite big, and seemed to have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. However, their appearance was indeed a bit horrible. There were traces of bumps and bumps everywhere, and the outer skin was damaged in some places.
They are all warped up, with mottled rust appearing. "" Novel netizens hand-printed
"Didn't you say that nuclear submarines with titanium alloy shells will not rust?" Ye Kai immediately expressed serious dissatisfaction, "Why do the nuclear submarines here all look so bad, worse than garbage? If they all look like this, I'd be honest.
, it is impossible to achieve cooperation in this business."
The person in charge who accompanied him to inspect these nuclear submarines immediately explained, "Mr. Ye, you have misunderstood. In fact, these are dismantled nuclear submarines, so they look a little bleak. The rust stains on the outer skin are actually camouflage."
"A nuclear submarine that should have been dismantled?" Ye Kai suddenly became interested after hearing this, so he asked about the reason.
It turns out that these six nuclear submarines were scrapped a few years ago, but the internal conditions were actually good. The reason was that the military leaders at that time artificially placed them in order to get more funding from the government to build nuclear submarines.
These nuclear submarines have been scrapped and their appearance has been treated to be bleaker, making it easier to apply.
For this reason, there are now more than a hundred nuclear submarines in Russia, which is scary to say the least. This does not include the number of nuclear submarines that have been retired and scrapped, as well as those that are applying for scrapping.
Damn, with this kind of approach, it would be strange if the Soviet Union did not disintegrate!
Ye Kai cursed in his heart for a while, and then asked in detail about the situation of these nuclear submarines.
"Although there was an order to dismantle these nuclear submarines at that time, we calculated that the cost of disassembly was very high. The titanium alloy structure of the hull is not so easy to separate. In addition, the funding at that time was divided up by the top management, so these ships were already
It was thrown here without being dismantled," the person in charge 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 capital 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 to solve this problem. After all, as long as he pulls away these nuclear submarines, the previous funding loophole will be completely eliminated.
It's blocked.
"Does Comrade General know about this?" Ye Kai asked curiously.
"Comrade General only cares about more important things and doesn't care about trivial matters," the person in charge of the base replied.
Ye Kai was having fun, thinking that among the people who divided the money back then, Comrade Chubiyev was indispensable.
"Let's go take a look at the other six scrapped nuclear submarines." Ye Kai suggested.
"No problem at all." The person in charge of the base immediately led Ye Kai and others to another water cave. The space of this water cave was larger than the one just now.
Although you can't tell how deep the water is, the height above the water is as high as several stories. In such a large water hole, six nuclear submarines are hidden underwater like giant beasts, with only the bridge floating on the water.
superior.
Ye Kai glanced over and saw that these six nuclear submarines were different from the six he had seen before. The surface was as smooth as a mirror without any scratches. The various parts fit together perfectly and looked full of power. They looked exactly like
Like new.
"These six nuclear submarines have only been sailed out a few times. They are almost brand new, but the guys at the National Defense Commission, for some unknown reason, scrapped them all." The person in charge of the base looked at these nuclear submarines with some surprise.
Said regretfully, but he also expressed his own difficulties, "If nothing else, the cost of maintaining them is very high. If you drive them out for a trip, it will cost a lot of money. Now there are more than a hundred ships in active service in Russia."
There are simply too many nuclear submarines.”
These six nuclear submarines are of the same class as the "Komsomolsk" and belong to the "Goldfish" series.
Their pressure-resistant hull is made of titanium alloy, 122 meters long, 11.5 meters wide, with a displacement of 9,700 tons, a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and carries 10 torpedoes, 2 of which have nuclear warheads. They can dive to other submarines from
It has not reached a depth of 1,200 meters underwater. It can launch missiles under deep water and strike the entire northern Europe. It is the largest and most advanced attack nuclear submarine in the world.
As a work of the highest level in the former Soviet Union, I am afraid that such a work will not be seen again for many years.
In fact, in Ye Kai's impression, the quality level of Russia's new nuclear submarines in the future will not meet the previous standards.
"But in this case, my manpower is somewhat insufficient..." Ye Kai suddenly considered another issue.
Originally, he only came for these six nuclear submarines, but now there are actually twelve. Although the six are in tatters, they are still solid units and can be driven. However, he has no control over the number of operators.
The demand doubled all of a sudden, so where could Ye Kai find it all of a sudden?
"With all due respect..." the person in charge of the base immediately stated, "You can hire my men. They are all very dedicated and professional naval personnel."
Ye Kai suddenly fell silent. This matter is really difficult to handle. If the personnel on each nuclear submarine are mainly their own people, then the situation can be controlled, but if the Russians dominate, then
This thing is a bit unsafe. What if they mutiny on the way?
This made Ye Kai's head hurt thinking about it and he didn't know how to deal with it.
But in the end, he thought about it and felt that there shouldn't be any trouble. After all, Russia is short of money from top to bottom. As long as they are given enough dollars and food, it will be enough for their families to live a life of food and clothing. These submarine soldiers
They would also be happy to accept such a task.
After all, this task was personally arranged by General Chubiev, Deputy Chief of General Staff and Director of Military Intelligence, so there would be no loopholes in the procedures.
"Okay, try to arrange more stable manpower. The remuneration will be very generous. I will give priority to providing food assistance to the participants." Ye Kai said.
Although Ye Kai no longer engages in large-scale material exchange trade with Russia, it is actually very convenient to transport some food and daily necessities. It is just a matter of opening more international cargo flights.
Nowadays, the Russians actually still have some money in their hands, but they are very short of supplies. Ye Kai prioritizes getting a batch of food and daily necessities over, which will definitely stabilize the morale of the military and make these people work for him wholeheartedly.
"Great, there are probably over a thousand sailors, officers, and technical experts." The person in charge made a rough calculation, "After this mission, each person must be given $10,000, right?"
Ten thousand US dollars is not much, but in today's Russia, it can make a family live very comfortably. After all, these are US dollars, not rubles, and their purchasing power is very strong.
"As long as you do a good job, I will give you 20,000!" Ye Kai waved his hand.
Speaking of what happened this time, he still made a lot of money. After all, the waste of six nuclear submarines suddenly turned into a whole ship, and the value was very different. The reason why he gave the high salary was not only to appease these people, but also to save money.
The idea of poaching people, if these people can join our team, then both technicians and operators will be ready.
There is no bright future for Russia now. I hope these people can enjoy the stable life in the republic.
The treatment of the Russian military is really poor. Recently, a group of generals were promoted unexpectedly, bringing the number of active generals in Russia to more than 1,500. The deep-seated reasons behind this promotion include President Yeltsin’s desire to control the military.
In addition, another reason is to cover up the lack of military investment and give the people the illusion that the Russian army is still strong.
However, the treatment of middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers is really poor. Many officers even do not have their own houses, but need to rent small hotels to live in. This situation is evident from this.
Ye Kai is convinced that his US dollar strategy can capture most of the Russian officers and soldiers, as well as technical experts.
To the person in charge of the base, Ye Kai directly gave him 200,000 US dollars in cash.
After he got the money, he was very excited. He took a stack of dollars, kissed him affectionately, and then said to Ye Kai, "God, for the sake of the dollars, I can tell you a big secret!"
Ye Kai was also curious, what big secret would he have? Could it be about nuclear submarines?
But before the two people officially entered the topic, someone came over from outside and reported, "General Lebeski, this is an urgent notice from Comrade General, saying that someone from the Military Supervision Department is here to review the status of the six nuclear submarines that have applied for decommissioning and make a decision.
Assessment report.”
"What the hell, why did these people suddenly come..." After hearing this, General Lebeski, the person in charge of the base, suddenly showed a trace of panic on his face, "How long will it take?!"
"We will arrive in an hour." His subordinate replied.
Strictly speaking, the six brand-new nuclear submarines that Ye Kai saw just now have not been officially approved for decommissioning. People from the Military Supervision Department came here to conduct an on-site review and then make a decision on whether to approve the decommissioning.
Obviously, if they see a brand new nuclear submarine, this matter will probably be spoiled.
Of course, General Lebeski would not agree to this happening. He immediately had an idea and ordered his subordinates, "Immediately start painting the exteriors of the six old nuclear submarines that are applying for scrapping."
The hull numbers! We also have to do some tricks on the appearance, at least to make them look more like the real ones!"
"Yes, General!" The men immediately went to work.
"Damn it, these vampires seem to have to spend a lot of money again!" General Lebesky muttered.
After hearing his words, Ye Kai felt relieved immediately. Since he was a vampire, it would be much easier to deal with than an upright gentleman.
