Soviet Union 1991

/s日pt\u003e Perhaps it was because God did not favor Ah San very much. Just when the leasing of the Minsk reached a deadlock, bad news came from India that something had happened to the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya.

The boiler explosion that should have occurred in the hands of the Russian Navy in history was caused by India's mistakes, which led to this tragedy. Of course, the Soviet Union's jerry-rigged refractory bricks caused a boiler explosion that injured four aircraft carrier crew members, and all scheduled cruise missions of the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya were cancelled.

This is undoubtedly very bad news for General Ramdas who is still undergoing arduous negotiations. After the accident of India's Vikramaditya, the Indian Navy became even more dependent on the Minsk. At this time, the Soviet Union He also gradually took the initiative. When Ramdass wanted to restart negotiations, he was declined by the Soviet Ministry of Defense. The other party's answer was that there was no need to rush and we would wait until both parties had agreed on the price before discussing. After all, our negotiations were still going on.

Ramdas stood at the 23-story hotel window, looking at the depressed scenery of Ukraine outside the floor-to-ceiling window. His mood was as gloomy as the gray weather. He paced back and forth in the room, thinking about countermeasures. On the one hand, there was the carefree attitude of the Soviet Union, and on the other hand, the Indian Ministry of Defense, especially Minister Kapoor, was pressing harder and harder. Ramdas, who happened to be squeezed in the middle, felt the pressure of negotiating with other countries for the first time. pressure.

"Damn it, did the Soviet Union also know about the accident of our aircraft carrier Vikramaditya? No wonder these people have become so emboldened. The longer this negotiation drags on, the worse it will be for India." Ramdas said. Holding my chin, I stared out the window at the Ukrainian winter. It was not like the mild climate in India, and even the weather was as sinister as those Yugoslavs. No wonder Minister Kapoor told himself before he left to be careful with the Soviet Ministry of Defense.

"Immediately call and confirm the specific negotiation date with the Soviet Ministry of Defense. We cannot wait any longer. Tell the other party that if the Soviet Union does not hold negotiations again, then we will give up leasing the Kiev-class aircraft carrier." Ramdass Grit your teeth. Intimidating the other party by giving up the negotiation may have a much better effect than dragging it out like this. After all, everyone knows it. Whoever lasts until the end is the winner.

"Yes." The accompanying officer replied quietly.

When the Ramdass delegation called, Comrade Yazov finally smiled. Especially when he heard that the other party threatened to abandon the aircraft carrier, he knew that the Indians had been fooled.

"Get ready, Colonel Yegorov. The Indian delegation has lost patience. They finally fell into our trap." Minister Yazov picked up the thick windbreaker on the hanger and prepared to get up and go out. He had just promised the Indian delegation to hold another negotiating meeting.

"The Indians have lost their patience? With all due respect, how did Minister Yazov tell that?" Colonel Yegorov complained, "You forcibly interrupted the negotiations before, and then refused to continue the negotiations initiated by the Indian delegation. But why are you hastily reopening negotiations now when you hear that Ramdas is preparing to leave?”

Azov turned around and said to Colonel Yegorov, "The reason is simple. An anxious prey is often full of flaws, and Ramdass is that prey. Think about what else he has to challenge us now. The trump card? The boiler explosion of the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya the day before yesterday means that India is now in urgent need of an aircraft carrier to replace the previous mission of the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya. In addition to the Minsk currently under negotiation, India also has Are there other countries to choose from?”

Colonel Yegorov suddenly understood and slapped the back of his head. He said with deep emotion, "It turns out that the secret is here, and now India has to face any request made by the Soviet Union. And we can also lease the aircraft carrier at a relatively satisfactory price."

"As I said before, everything is a routine. Indians who have drunk too much Ganges water cannot resist our tricks of coaxing and deceiving." Yazov blinked slyly, then turned around and walked out. Colonel Yegorov followed closely. He had a premonition that all negotiations would end today.

When Yazov met General Ramdas again, he no longer had the arrogant look he had when he first came to India. Instead, he looked like a dejected loser. Put yourself on the losing side before the negotiation even begins. Defense Minister Yazov, on the other hand, looked indifferent. It seems that the initiative is always in his own hands.

"As for India's proposed lease price of 9.5 million, does the Soviet Union have anything to add?" Ramdas asked first. Start testing the other party's bottom line.

"Refuse." Yazov replied crisply, "Our Soviet Ministry of Defense insists that 9.5 million is a beggar, rather than a real negotiation between the two countries. I would like to ask, India We know about the Soviet SS-N-2 anti-ship. Does the maintenance of sa-n-3 ship-to-air weapons require a huge amount of money? Do you know what kind of maintenance Minsk needs to achieve its combat capabilities? Do you know what saturation offensive operations are? It’s not for performing acrobatics!”

Azov acted with awe and justice, and fooled Ramdass into knowing how to do it. He directly reprimanded Asan's troops for turning into an acrobatic team, leaving the Indian naval general who had never used an aircraft carrier in a war speechless.

"It's not a good idea to keep wasting time like this. Why don't you let the Soviet Union propose your own bottom line for the price, so that both sides can negotiate better."

Seeing that Ramdas finally raised the question that Yazov had always wanted to hear, he quickly put on a serious face and replied in a deep voice, "400,000, this is the price offered by the Soviet Union. If the other party is interested, you can just ask for it."

After hearing the price offered by the Soviet Union, Ramdas's expression was distorted. He slapped the table and said, "What? 400,000? Why don't you go and rob it? The Minsk is just a second-hand retired aircraft carrier. You want me to spend 400,000 to lease it? No, I refuse."

Yazov signaled the other party to calm down first. He said half sincerely and half threateningly, "Don't let this matter affect the friendship between the Soviet Union and India, General Ramdas. After all, the Soviet Union is not just one country. Maybe there is another country you don't want to see that wants to lease our Kiev aircraft carrier?"

Ramdas swallowed his saliva. He seemed to know whose name Yazov would say next. (To be continued.)
