The construction of Varyag began in 1985. Wan Feng didn’t remember the exact date very clearly, but it seemed to be in the winter of 1985.
This is an ill-fated aircraft carrier. When it was two-thirds built, the Soviet Union, a behemoth, collapsed and split into more than a dozen countries.
The aircraft carrier became a ship out of favor.
When the family business was divided, based on the principle of adapting to local conditions, the aircraft carrier became Ukolan's property.
But Ukraine's economic situation was poor and it was unable to continue construction, and it was of no use to it. After Russian screws brought Kuznetsov to Russian screws overnight, they lost interest in Varyag.
Apart from these two, the other small countries were even less interested, so the Varyag aircraft carrier became an isolated abandoned ship.
Wu Ke Lan was preparing to sell the aircraft carrier, and at that time some Western countries did express interest and made offers.
In fact, these countries are just stirring up trouble. The real intention of their quotations is to prevent a big country from trying to buy.
This farce started in 1990 and continues to this day, but no country really wants to buy it. In Wan Feng's words, it's just a joke.
China does have the intention to purchase this aircraft carrier, but has not yet found a good way and is still in a wait-and-see phase.
Wan Feng spent three days recalling every detail of the Varyag aircraft carrier's journey from the Nikolayev Shipyard to the Bohai Sea, which took nearly three years.
Then it took another three days to make some plans.
Difficult! Too difficult! This is a difficult task to complete.
Because he knew the process of China's purchase of this aircraft carrier, the plan he made was very targeted.
After the plan was made, he immediately flew to Heihe, then crossed the river to Blagoveshchensk to meet Li Mingze at Shaminov's villa.
"How many of your own people do you have here in Russia?" Wan Feng went straight to the point as soon as they met.
"I've gathered all my former subordinates, about fifty of them."
"How loyal are these people to you?"
Li Mingze thought about it and said, "It's okay. I feel their loyalty to me is okay."
"Does anyone in the former Soviet KGB know anyone?"
"There have been some contacts before, but nothing deep."
"Does the former Soviet Union have spies in Europe?"
"You told me to plant some connections in Europe, and I knew some people there. But then I followed you to China, and those connections got cut off."
Wan Feng calculated the time and said, "It's hard to find talent in the Russian screw market. Almost all the former Soviet Union's scientific and technological talents are now in Ukrainian. You should take your team to Ukrainian now."
"To Ukolan?"
Li Mingze was a little dumbfounded. From Blagoveshchensk to Ukrainian, there were really thousands of mountains and rivers between them.
The situations in these newly independent countries are not very stable.
"Take half of the group with you, and leave two reliable people here to continue the work I've assigned you. I'll help you arrange your safety."
"So what am I going to do in Ukolan?"
"First, pick up the threads you've laid in Europe. A significant number of former Soviet scientists are now in Ukraine. Your first task is to recruit these talented individuals. Second, gather intelligence on Ukraine, primarily regarding the Varyag aircraft carrier at the Nikolayev Shipyard."
"Fuck! You want to trade that aircraft carrier?"
"Hey! I'm planning to buy that aircraft carrier back and build an aircraft carrier park in Bohai. I'll sell tickets and make money. What do you think of this idea?"
Li Mingze scratched his head. Buying an aircraft carrier and building a park to sell tickets? Why did it feel so unreliable?
"Another task is to get to know some KGB people in Ukolan, preferably those who work in Turchi and Xila."
Li Mingze was confused again. Tuerqi and Silla? What on earth was this guy trying to do?
"I'll tell you this after you get to know these people. From now on, I'll give you two years to complete these three tasks, and I'll give you $2 million in annual funding."
Two million US dollars was a huge sum of money in the CIS countries at that time, enough for Li Mingze to live a life of luxury.
But this money is not for him to spend on wine and women, it is for activities.
"Remember these three tasks?"
"I remember."
"Okay, this mission may take a long time. If you can complete it successfully, I will eventually reward you with 10 million Chinese Yuan. Your team will also receive 10 million Chinese Yuan. If they are willing, I can let them settle in China. This money is enough for you to live a carefree life in China for the rest of your life."
"I will do it."
"Send Alexi here; I need to speak to him again."
A few minutes later, Shaminov, Alexei and Wan Feng sat together.
"Uncle Alexei, are you still good enough now?"
Alexei was quite dissatisfied with this.
"Would you like to try some fighting?"
"Just gesture."
Wanfeng and Alexi went outside on the snow.
The temperature here in Blagoveshchensk is still very low and the snow on the ground is very thick.
Wan Feng made three rules: "No hitting in the face, no grabbing the crotch, and no hitting the joints."
"Then I'll play shit with you."
"Don't run away, watch out!"
Wan Feng hasn't had a break from training for many years. When he is free, he practices with Han Guangjia, Yang Jianguo and others. He thinks he is now a master.
But the reality is harsh. He still hasn't succeeded with Alexi, who is already in his fifties.
Wan Feng planned to use the tactic of dragging the old man to death, but after more than 20 minutes he found that the other party was still full of energy.
"You old thief, if I give you a woman now, I guarantee you can still create a human being."
Alexei was very proud of this statement.
"You're good with fists and kicks, but are you okay with guns and stuff?"
"Will you still try it?"
What a joke, it's just a matter of boxing and kicking. Wan Feng's level with firearms is only at the level of hearing the sound. He is not going to compete with Alexei on this.
"Uncle Alexei, have you ever been to Sila and Turchi before?"
"Yes, but not for long. I spent more time in Afghanistan."
"Do you have any comrades in the Wukelan generation? The kind with whom you have a life-and-death friendship?"
"Why are you asking? Are you going to Ukolan?"
"Answer my question first."
"Yes, I have brothers in the three countries of Caucasus, Uzbekistan, and the Baltic Sea."
"Do you know how they are doing?"
Alexei did not answer. After a pause, he said, "How can they be any better in their present state?"
"I'll give you a mission to make the lives of your brothers better. How about it? Are you interested?"
Alexi looked at Wan Feng in confusion.
