the next day.
Both submarines were loaded, as were various submarine production equipment from the red Solmovo Shipyard, and everyone began to prepare for departure.
The submarine is installed on the floating dock. This is only the beginning. Next, various preparations must be made.
For example, if you want to add water, electricity, upper and lower passages to a submarine, ventilation facilities to prevent the submarine battery from producing hydrogen, and sprinkler equipment to prevent exposure to the sun, it is not just a matter of covering it with a camouflage net.
You can look at the photos of submarines being transported. They are not covered with camouflage nets. Just like open kitchens that do not provide natural gas, submarines cannot be completely closed. Who knows whether the submarine's battery will produce some hydrogen.
At the same time, in order to take off and land safely, all kinds of oil on the submarine had to be removed. This work took another whole day.
Qin Tao looked at the little improvements, and then thought of something: "Is the charging power enough? We can't let the experts on the submarine eat cold."
There are not only sailors escorting the submarine, but also several experts. During the transportation process, there is no fuel inside and the engine cannot be started. It can only rely on external power supply. If the power is insufficient, you may have to eat cold food.
Qin Tao didn't want the soldiers to suffer.
"It's enough. We have a special generator on the floating dock to provide power."
Qin Tao nodded.
Everything was ready, and the huge floating dock slowly left the dock.
Qin Tao felt a big stone drop in his heart.
"Mr. Qin, where are you going next?" Xu Zhengyang asked Qin Tao.
"Of course I'm going home."
When I go back now, I can still catch up with my wife during her confinement period. For a woman, this is the most important time. Qin Tao doesn't want to have regrets at this time. His wife has just given birth and he has to come out. Now, The matter has been completed. For him, of course he has to go back. His wife and children are on the hot bed.
"Okay, let's book a flight back immediately." Xu Zhengyang said.
Just as he finished speaking, he heard several old men next to him sighing with emotion.
"Kovakic is so courageous!"
"Yes, I heard that the Black Sea Fleet is looking for him all over the world, but I just don't know where he has gone."
"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. Since the collapse of the Red Empire, they have not paid wages. The Grisha frigate, anchors and other parts that can be disassembled have long been dismantled and sold. Now , they can only blow up the warships and sell them for scrap."
Blow up the warships and sell them for scrap! Hearing this operation, Xu Zhengyang felt that his whole body was shocked.
Qin Tao's eyes also lit up. He had been busy since he came to this world, but he had forgotten this strange thing!
This starts with the ownership of the Black Sea Fleet.
After the collapse of the Red Empire, the ownership of the Black Sea Fleet became a big issue. According to the division of land, the Black Sea Fleet, whose main base is located on the Crimean Peninsula, should belong to Ermao.
However, the Crimean Peninsula does not belong to the Ermao in history.
From the 15th to the 18th centuries, it belonged to the Crimean Khanate. Incorporated into Tsarist Russia in 1783. From 1918 to early 1954, it was a state in Da Mao. Of course, in October 1921, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was briefly established. It was not until February 1954 that the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Red Empire ordered the Crimean Oblast to be transferred to Ermao.
The original Red Empire really considered the overall situation, and the result was that it laid the fuse for subsequent conflicts.
The Red Empire collapsed, and Ermao immediately announced that the Crimean Peninsula was his own, the Black Sea Fleet was his own, and the Kuznetsov was also his own.
Da Mao definitely refused, and immediately sailed away the Kuznetsov.
Although the Kuznetsov is gone, the Black Sea Fleet is still the main fleet during the Red Empire, with a large number of warships.
Naturally, neither Da Mao nor E Mao wanted to give up on this piece of fat. E Mao publicly announced that the Black Sea Fleet would be fully taken over by E Mao.
Da Mao was not a vegetarian, and immediately declared that the "Black Sea Fleet" would always be Da Mao's property, and Er Mao had no right to divide the fleet.
Afterwards, in order to solve the problem of dividing the military power of the collapsed Red Empire, various countries held a meeting in Minsk.
However, the ownership of the Black Sea Fleet is still a big issue. Both Da Mao and Er Mao are fighting for it. The contradiction is irreconcilable. So, after several battles, a armed conflict is about to break out. They finally sit down and reach an agreement on the Black Sea Fleet. Ownership transition agreement.
In 1992, this agreement was signed, which stipulated that the Black Sea Fleet would exist as a joint fleet of the two countries in the next three years. The appointment of the fleet commander would be jointly agreed upon by the top leaders of the two countries. The Sevastopol military port and various locations of the Black Sea Fleet The base will be used and maintained jointly by both countries.
In this way, the conflict between the Black Sea Fleet was temporarily put on hold. Of course, it was only temporary.
If the two countries manage it jointly, then the two countries have to jointly contribute money. However, the sad thing about the Black Sea Fleet is that there is no money at all.
Regardless of whether it is Da Mao or Er Mao, the domestic economy is in a mess, and the military under its control does not have enough military expenditures, let alone a controversial fleet such as the Black Sea Fleet.
Therefore, neither country provided funds.
Under such circumstances, the Black Sea Fleet's life was miserable.
If you go to your superiors to ask for money, go to the leader of Big Mao, but he will wave his hand and go to Ermao!
Go to Ermao's leader. Ermao waved his hand and went to Da Mao!
It has been three years since 1991 and they have not paid a penny in wages!
what to do?
Some people left, some struggled to support themselves, and some were thinking of other ideas.
For example, selling scrap metal!
Although many people are selling it, they are just dismantling and selling scrap metal. The Grisha frigate did a big thing this time: the entire warship was blown up and completely turned into parts. Sold scrap metal!
What about after selling scrap metal? Of course he got the money and ran away!
There's no point in staying in the Black Sea Fleet anyway. The big guy doesn't even have an object of allegiance. I don't know if it's the big hair or the second hair, so he might as well run away.
This Kovacic is awesome!
Xu Zhengyang looked at Qin Tao with emotion and found that Qin Tao's eyes were shining with light.
He was familiar with Qin Tao and knew that Mr. Qin had new ideas.
Qin Tao looked at Xu Zhengyang: "Before we go home, we will take a detour to the Crimea Peninsula and revisit our old place."
Xu Zhengyang nodded.
Qin Tao was indeed revisiting his old place. When he came to the Crimean Peninsula for the first time, he came with Zhao Ling, and the two had an unforgettable time at that time.
Now, Zhao Ling has given birth to a son for him and stayed in the country. As for the old couple he met back then, they have already gone their separate ways.
Things are different and people are different.
Of course, these memories of mine are all trivial matters, Er Mao is the real change of things and people.
After the transition period passed, the two sides struggled for several more years, and finally divided up the Black Sea Fleet. Mao got most of the property. However, because there was no base, it had to rent a base on the Crimean Peninsula. As for Ermao, although they have been allocated a number of warships, with their national strength, there is simply no way to maintain a large army. They can only decommission or seal these equipment.
So, all the good stuff is wasted!
Qin Tao moved into the villa that he had lived in back then, facing the sea and blooming flowers in spring. However, during the day, he did not go to the beach to swim. Instead, he slept in the villa and only became active at night. , went straight to a nearby bar.
Regardless of whether they are big or small, they all like to drink. They can go a day without eating, but they cannot go a day without drinking!
Qin Tao was sitting on the bar, drinking with Xu Zhengyang. He looked relaxed, but in fact, he was constantly listening to what was going on around him.
"Hey, Fyodor, you seem to have a good harvest. You can actually afford to drink three bottles at a time." Two people sat next to them. They saw that their companion actually asked for three bottles. The man was very emotional.
"Yeah, I'm lucky. I didn't expect that the thing I opened today actually contained gold. Although it's very small, it's enough to last a few days. I'll give you this bottle!" Fyodor said, He gave one of the bottles to his companion.
"Oh, I really envy you. Nothing can be dismantled on our submarine. Even if some can be dismantled, they cannot be moved. Damn it." The companion clenched his fist in annoyance.
Surface ships can be dismantled as long as they can be moved, but submarines are different. The internal space of the submarine is limited, and the various hatches are only for one person to pass through. When this kind of submarine is welded, all the equipment has been welded. Once inside, it’s so difficult to dismantle it and take it away!
"Okhlopkov, I'm just curious. Haven't you seen that others can blow up warships? Don't you blow up submarines and dismantle them and sell them for scrap?" Fyodor asked.
"How is that possible! That Kovacic really went too far. They had a good time and ran away. Now, the guards in the base are strict. It's not that easy to blow up the warship."
Forefathers planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. Forefathers made mistakes and future generations suffered!
Bombing a warship was too much, so the entire fleet was shaken. In addition to chasing everyone on the Grisha frigate, they also added more guards.
"Humph, the guards are strict? They just give those guards an opportunity to sell scrap metal!" Okhlopkov was a little annoyed.
"I heard that a sum of money was allocated from above."
"What's the use? That little money is not enough for the people above. Can it be in our hands?"
The two of them were filled with emotion again.
"Come on, drink!"
Fyodor drank two bottles and Okhlopkov drank one. After finishing the drinks, the two staggered out.
Qin Tao winked at Xu Zhengyang.
Xu Zhengyang understood and chased after him.
Second night.
Okhlopkov stood at the door of the bar, searching.
If he wants to drink, he has to drink from others because he has no money. However, the kind of luck yesterday may not come every day. Now, he has been waiting until a voice came from behind him.
"Hey, bro, do you want a drink?"
When he saw the wine in the other person's hand, Okhlopkov immediately nodded: "Yes, I want to drink, you want to give it to me?"
"Sure, how about we make friends?"
Okhlopkov nodded: "Okay, okay."
He kept his eyes on the bottle. After the other party handed it over, he immediately raised his head and drank all the wine into his stomach. He could sleep well tonight!
Okhlopkov chirped a few times.
"Thanks."
"Do you want to be able to drink as much as you want every day from now on?" the other party suddenly asked.
Okhlopkov opened his eyes wide: "Can you drink it every day?"
"That's right."
"How to do it?"
"Don't you envy Kovacic?"
"Yes, we envy Kovacic, but we can't blow up the submarine."
By this time, he had sobered up.
"It's true that you can't blow it up, but you can drive it out. You just need to contact the people around you. Twenty are enough. As long as you drive this submarine out of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, there will be people in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship will pick you up." The other party said: "Each of you can get one million US dollars. With this money, you can go to the West and live the life you want."
A million dollars! This is a number that Okhlopkov could not even imagine.
Okhlopkov opened his eyes wide and looked at the man in front of him: "Are you an international arms dealer?"
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as you agree, you can immediately get half of the reward as an advance payment. When you sail the submarine to the Atlantic Ocean, you can get the other half."
"And then, will you throw us into the sea?" Okhlopkov asked.
The international arms trade has always been bloody. Those arms dealers will do anything for money, so he must ask clearly.
Even if our own side launches the submarine, can the other side keep its promise?
"Yes, it is indeed possible." The other party said: "Anyway, it makes no sense for me to swear here to guarantee your safety. Therefore, it depends on your own choice. You can continue to be ignorant like this and work for one person every day. If you rack your brains over a bottle of wine, you can take a risk. At least I've paid you an advance, which is real money. The remaining half depends on your courage."
Should he live his life in a drunken state every day, or should he fight hard? A gamble on luck?
"Aren't you afraid that if we get the money and don't do anything for you, we will run away instead?"
"It is possible. When the time comes, we will have to spend all our energy chasing you. However, it is still enough to use the remaining five hundred thousand to hire killers."
"Then the last problem is left. There is not a drop of oil in our base, and the oil in the submarine has been drained. So, needless to say the Mediterranean, we can't even get out of the Black Sea."
"In a few days, a comprehensive supply ship will dock at your place, and then all the people on the ship will go out to have fun. That night, the sentries guarding nearby will also be drunk, and you can take advantage of the night to refuel the submarine. "
All the preparations have been made for them, so what choice will they make next?
do my best!
The look in their eyes said it all.
In the villa, Qin Tao listened to Xu Zhengyang's report and was very satisfied: "Zhengyang, you did a great job. It seems that I can take a rest after arriving. I can just leave this kind of thing to you."
This was what Qin Tao originally wanted to do, but in the end, Qin Tao did not move and handed the job over to Xu Zhengyang. Xu Zhengyang only met him after putting on makeup.
Fortunately, Xu Zhengyang completed the job beautifully.
Xu Zhengyang smiled. If it were in the past, he would never have done such a thing, because it was completely different from the training he had received. However, for such a long time, he had been influenced by Qin Tao and unconsciously, I have become accustomed to using Qin Tao's principles of doing things.
He believes that even if Qin Tao passes by, he will not do better. However, is his change good or bad? He was originally a traditional and upright person, but was suddenly led astray by Qin Tao.
"It's a pity that we can't use surface ships, we can only use submarines. It would be great if we could use the warships of the Black Sea Fleet."
Submarines are concealed. Whether they go out on patrol or stay in the base, their faces are still half-covered.
Although some submarines will park directly on the pier outside, there are also many submarines that will directly enter the cave. For example, domestic nuclear submarines all have the same number. The outside world simply does not know how many there are. Know.
The same is true for the current Kilo-class submarines.
If he continues to order from Lao Maozi, it is estimated to be 200 million dollars per ship. Now, Qin Tao hires 20 people and spends 20 million U.S. dollars. Plus other management, the total is 21 to 2 million dollars, so he will A Kilo-class submarine was brought back, and it was Lao Maozi's own version. It was definitely a good business.
It is really a waste to keep the Black Sea Fleet here with Lao Maozi. Instead of constantly decommissioning, eliminating, and mothballing it in the future, it is better to give it to our own side.
However, doing this kind of thing once is enough. While the issue of the ownership of the Black Sea Fleet has not been resolved, even if they find that a Kilo-class submarine is missing, they will not investigate it. After arriving, the separation will be completed. It's time to feel distressed.
The only pity is that the Black Sea Fleet does not have nuclear submarines.
Unlike other fleets, the Black Sea Fleet operates in an inland sea. Even if there is a passage to the sea, it rarely goes out. When operating in the Black Sea, conventional submarines are more flexible than nuclear submarines.
Can we follow the same pattern and get a nuclear submarine from other fleets?
This idea flashed through Qin Tao's mind, and then was denied.
It is not that easy to get the submarines of the Black Sea Fleet back because the Black Sea Fleet is now in chaos. If other fleets lose an active submarine, the responsibility will be huge, and ordinary people cannot bear it.
Even Nikolai, who has a very good relationship with him, would not dare to sell a nuclear submarine to him.
Moreover, what about maintenance after getting it back?
The reason why we are bringing the Kilo class back now is because we already have two Kilo class submarines, so we don’t have to worry about various accessories and the like. Other submarines don’t have this opportunity.
Qin Tao was thinking about these things rapidly in his mind, and finally shook his head helplessly.
After Okhlopkov returned, he mysteriously called his most trusted companions together.
He was a little nervous.
"Now, I want to announce something to you that will get you shot. If you don't have the courage, you can leave now. However, if you back down after hearing my plan, you won't be able to get out of this door at all. I will stab you to death!"
As he said that, Okhlopkov stuck a multifunctional saber on the table. As a submariner, although he couldn't get a gun, he could get a saber for daily use, and no one would care about it.
Seeing Okhlopkov's appearance, several people immediately softened. Although they have not been paid for several years, they have not been starved to death. They are still here drinking and messing around. If they dare to do this, they will be shot. Is it not worth it?
"Of course, the risks are high and the rewards are high. As long as you nod and agree, you can get a deposit of US$500,000. When things are done, you can get another US$500,000."
"Fifty thousand US dollars? Doesn't that mean that each of us can get 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars?" Someone suddenly became excited.
Twenty to thirty thousand dollars! What a huge sum of money that would be!
"no."
The guys looked at Okhlopkov in surprise, what is that? Do you want to eat a lot?
"Looking at your little potential, each of you will get five hundred thousand first, and then five hundred thousand later!"
Per person?
They gasped again.
A total of one million. What a huge sum of money. Can each of them get such a sum of money?
"Do it, no matter what, kill people and set fire to it. Even if it means selling your soul to the devil, it's worth half a million!" Someone nodded immediately.
Sure enough, having money is good.
Okhlopkov looked at the people present: "Since everyone has agreed, we can't go back on our word. Anyone who dares to tell the truth will be shot in the head!"
No one backed down.
It has been three years, three years of hard life, and now, I finally have a chance to make a fortune, what else can I say, do it!
"Okhlopkov, just tell me what to do!"
"Okay, let me tell you."
Everyone's expressions became serious again.
One million dollars is full of temptation, but this operation is also too risky.
"The next morning, our submarine disappeared, and it will definitely be discovered." One person said: "I suggest that we set a fire in the base. In this way, everyone will only focus on putting out the fire, and will not be able to do it for the time being. If the submarine is found missing, as long as one day passes, we can sail silently, leave the Black Sea, and sail into the strait."
"Yes, but how do we get across the strait?"
"There are a lot of underwater listening equipment there, and we can only go there with one merchant ship! Once we enter the Mediterranean, we will be safe."
"Yeah, that's the only way to do it. The Strait of Gibraltar is easy to say. We can use the ocean currents there to float directly there. That's what the Germans did during World War II."
"Okay, then let's get ready. From now on, at least two of us will act together, and no one will be left alone!"
Okhlopkov could finally relax. These people did not back down. They all wanted to get rich. Although this mission was full of difficulties and dangers, they were willing to risk their lives to try it!
