Chapter 518 I want to report to the chief
Turkey refused the passage of Varyag on the grounds that the hull was too large and affected the normal navigation of other ships in the Bosphorus Strait. Western media also took the opportunity to hype up the "China aircraft carrier threat theory". Since then, the mainland and Turkey have started negotiations for a year and a half...
During the period when "Varyag" was trapped in the Black Sea, the company paid USD 8,500 a day to ITC, and also had to pay a berthing fee of $17,000 to the Ukrainian port authorities every month! At that time, the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tended to let it go, but Ramazan Mirzaoglu, the Minister of State in charge of maritime affairs (We need to remember this name! This is a damn evil beast!) Firmly oppose!
On December 19, 1999, when he saw that Mirzaoglu could not withstand the pressure, the main messenger behind the scenes, the United States simply turned directly from behind the scenes to the stage. Pearson, the ambassador to Turkey, met directly with Mirzaoglu and expressed the concern of the U.S. government about the Varyag. On March 3, 2000, Mirzaoglu visited the United States for two weeks at the invitation of the U.S. government. Before leaving, he submitted a report to Prime Minister Ecifert detailing the technical problems that might occur when the Varyag passed through the Bosphorus, and suggested that China's request be rejected and that the Varyag be allowed to pass through the Strait!
Mr. JoopTimmermans of ITC argued that it was actually easier and safer to tow the Varyag across the strait than tow a 150,000-ton tanker across the strait. But Mirzaoglu said, either you give the ship its own power, or you break it into pieces and transport it away, otherwise you won't want to pass through the strait. Mr. Timmermans also said that a strange thing happened in March 2001: a helicopter of unknown nationality landed on the flight deck of the Varyag, and three people jumped out for a survey and then flew away. Before leaving, they wrote "The French are here" on the deck with chalk ( "TheFrenchwashere."
Things have been delayed until 2001. It was not until July of this year that the attitude of the Turkish military, which was originally on the side of Mirzaoru, began to change. Chief of General Staff Kewei Rui Kelu was invited to visit Beijing and was received by Chinese leaders. The military's position changed (known as the export of arms), and he addressed the Prime Minister's Office in early August, "recommended to release". The Turkish government also proposed to require the mainland to open up tourism to Turkey and strive for 2 million mainland tourists to Turkey every year to create $2 billion in foreign exchange for Turkey! After getting the treaty, finally on August 25, the Turkish National Security Council made a resolution agreeing to let the Varyag pass through its strait. Turkish Minister of State and Government Spokesperson Güller, on behalf of Prime Minister Icifert, left for the capital on the same day to inform the mainland government of the result.
But is it over?! No! The Turks did not give up blackmail so simply! Their Turkish Marine Agency proposed to the mainland that the Varyag must meet 20 harsh safety conditions when passing through the strait:
$110 million "risk margin";
2. Chinese officials provide a written guarantee;
3. It must be guaranteed by an internationally recognized insurance company;
4. The number of tugboats escorting the "Varyag" through the Strait must be doubled;
5. When passing through the strait, the whole ship must be brightly lit;
6. The ship must be equipped with an anchor chain and tow cable receiving and dismantmission mechanical group and manpower group for necessary;
7. Therefore, generators must be installed on the ship to start machinery and lighting;
8. A radio communication network must be set up on the ship to maintain security;
9. Before passing through the strait, Turkey sent a technical supervision team to the ship to check whether the safety conditions were complete;
10. The tugboats arranged by China must be under the command of experts from the Turkish Maritime Administration and the Coast Guard;
11. In order to prevent it from going on, the ship and on land must be equipped with fire brigades;
12. When passing through the strait, if the sea is foggy, it must be suspended;
13. When passing through the Strait, if there is a strong wind in the strait, it must be suspended;
14. When passing through the strait, if the current is turbulent and sudden, the voyage must be suspended;
15. When the line of sight of the strait is less than five kilometers, it must be suspended;
16. There must be a portman on the ship;
17. When passing, other ships are prohibited from passing at both ends of the Strait;
18. The ship shall not be loaded with oil or explosives;
19. During passage, the relevant navigation safety, equipment, technical and personnel dispatching command must be under the command of the Turkish side;
20. The passage of the tortuous and narrow Bosphorus and the Dar Danier Strait must be passed during the day, and the wide Strait of Marmara must be at night.
But we have to accept these harsh conditions for our first aircraft carrier! After meeting the Turkish conditions, we can finally drag the Varyag to start the final journey. But have those Western countries given up?! No, they didn't give up! They did not allow the warship to pass through the Suez Canal, and forced the powerless Varyag to pass through the Mediterranean Sea, through the Strait of Gibraltar, out of the Atlantic Ocean, and through Las Palmas in the Canary Islands. On December 11, 2001, the warship bypassed the African Cape of Good Hope and entered the Indian Ocean under the tugboat, through Mozambique. Ketimaputo passed through the Strait of Malacca on February 5, 2002. I arrived off the coast of Singapore on the evening of February 11, 2002. It was not until February 12, 2002 that Varyag finished the difficult journey into the South China Sea!
In later generations, Tang Yu knew this thrilling and tragic journey. He didn't want the country to suffer such unnecessary losses again. He decided to ship the Varyag, Minsk and Novorosysk to the mainland! He decided to build the shipyard with a 900-ton crane, the only aircraft carrier in the former Soviet Union, with the technology and equipment needed to make aircraft carriers, and the largest aircraft carrier of the Russian navy, Admiral Kuznetsov, with one aircraft carrier on the platform every three years, every three years. One aircraft carrier was launched. Under normal circumstances, one aircraft carrier can be delivered every three years. During the former Soviet period, the most technologically advanced shipyard - the essence of the Nikolayev Shipyard was absorbed!
But none of this can be done in the sun! He needs a famous foreigner to hook up and then secretly transport these warships to the mainland directly abroad. You know, these projects are not small! And it is also easy to attract the attention of the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries! Therefore, the people who must carry out things secretly and the people who lead must not attract the attention of Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States and other parties! Therefore, Tang Yu locked Su Haiwen from the beginning. In fact, Tang Yu didn't help for nothing this time! His real intention is to tie up Su Haiwen and force him to help bring down these warships! As for Su Haiwen's will... Hey hey... I believe that the bigwigs of the mainland military will try their best to make him agree after learning the news! The dream of an aircraft carrier is the dream of many warm-blooded people! Tang Yu is determined to realize this dream!
So, after sending Li Jiacheng away with a smile, Tang Yu said slowly to the soldier: "Contact Pengcheng immediately! I need an absolutely secret place! I want to report the situation to the capital. Don't think I don't know that you are actually related to the general counsellor! Let me tell you, this is an emergency!" Hearing Tang Yu's words, the soldier was stunned at first and then wanted to refuse. But after getting Tang Yu's harsh message, the soldier hesitated for a moment. After all, Tang Yu's identity is not small, and he has also helped them and the military a lot. Now that he says that the matter is serious, it must be a small thing! So the soldier hesitated for a moment and said to Tang Yu, "Let me ask for instructions."
Tang Yu nodded when he heard the words, so the soldier walked out of the door and didn't know how to contact his so-called superiors. In fact, since the military guys entered Heishui International, Tang Yu knew that they had actually been secretly absorbed by the general ginseng. And shoulder the burden of watching that Blackwater International will not do anything that harm national interests. After all, this is the first private operation. Although the supreme leader agrees to this matter in principle, there will still be some people who are not very reassured, and there must be certain restrictions and monitoring. Tang Yu has also considered this for a long time, and the father of Jiang Huilin's family has retired from the general ginseng. Therefore, according to Jiang Huilin's news, Tang Yu knew that the identity of the soldiers was not surprising, and Jiang Huilin also said bluntly that as long as Tang Yu did not do anything that endangered national security, these people would hardly care about what he did.
After a while, the soldier came back from the outside and said to Tang Yu in a low voice, "Brother, come with me!" Tang Yu heard the soldier's words and knew that he had confirmed the matter with his superiors through the phone, so he nodded and followed the soldier out of the conference room. The soldier took Tang Yu into the car. After a while, he went to the heliport belonging to Blackwater International and took a helicopter to leave the headquarters of Blackwater International in the night.
The plane flew for a long time before stopping in a valley where it was. As soon as he got off the helicopter, a large group of people gathered around and surrounded Tang Yu and left the helicopter and entered a military vehicle. Then the Mitsubishi military car swayed left and right for more than half an hour before stopping in front of a sentry post. Tang Yu, who didn't know how many sentry passes along the way, finally entered a cave. He got out of the car there, and the rear soldier walked silently in front of him, while Tang Yu walked all the way behind. After a long time of going around, he stopped next to a cave with headlights. In the cave, a tall and thin man in his thirties wearing a military uniform without epaulettes looked at Tang Yu with interest and whispered, "Are you Tang Yu?! To be honest, I'm very interested to know what's going on with you that you need a secret line?! You know, don't you usually use satellite phones to report things about Blackwater International to Mr. He and Mr. Zhao in the capital?!"
Tang Yu looked at the man, shook his head and whispered, "I won't explain it to you now, but if it's something you must know, then I think you will be notified." Now I need a special line, and it is a special line that can talk to the chief. I hope you can connect me as soon as possible. Thank you!" Hearing Tang Yu's words, the man's pupils suddenly shrank! Report to the Supreme Leader?! Is there any mistake?! Who does this boy think he is?!
