Chapter 431 Rescue Resources
In real history, when the former Soviet Union disintegrated, the entire country fell into anarchy for a long time.During this period of time, both tangible fixed assets and intangible human capital in the Soviet Union were crazily divided up by Western powers.Some advanced equipment was sold at the price of scrap iron, and many scientists were poached by brokers and thrown into the arms of Western countries.

Lin Zhenhua has some understanding of this period of history, so as early as a few years ago, he began to carefully plan, intending to compete with Western countries for these precious heritages of the former Soviet Union when the Soviet Union disintegrated.

Four years ago, Lin Zhenhua obtained a lot of machinery and equipment as well as a large amount of technical information from the Far East of the Soviet Union with the help of the international tycoon Wu Jie and others.These technical materials are still the treasures of the Hanhua Technical Information Research Institute at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, and have played an important role in several major technological breakthroughs.

Prior to this, Lin Zhenhua's actions were relatively cautious. After all, the Soviet regime was still there, and those assets were owned. If he did too much, he would inevitably be interfered by the authorities.Today, the Soviet Union no longer exists, and the emerging Russian government is dealing with many thorny issues in politics, military affairs, and diplomacy, and has no energy to pay attention to the loss of assets in specific companies.Western countries have already sharpened their knives and rushed towards Russia one by one. If the Chinese don't make a move, there will be no soup left.

"What? Go to Russia to grab resources?"

In Beijing, in Chen Tian's office, Liu Xianghai stared at Lin Zhenhua dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe what Lin Zhenhua just said.

Lin Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, you misunderstood. I'm talking about rescuing resources, not grabbing resources. Looting resources is a crime. It's impossible for an ambitious young man like me to do such a thing. Rescuing resources is different. Yes, this is to protect the property of the Soviet people."

"Nonsense, why do you have to rescue other people's resources?" Liu Xianghai shook his head, "Your behavior is an act of taking advantage of the fire. I understand now why you let me and Russia a few years ago Could it be that you had such thoughts in mind at that time?"

Chen Tian interjected from the side: "President Liu, I agree with Zhenhua's opinion. Whether you say it is taking advantage of the fire to loot or rescue resources, in short, we really should take action. If we don't do it again, the accumulation of the former Soviet Union All the wealth of the family has fallen into the hands of Western countries."

"How is this possible?" Liu Xianghai asked, "Even if the Soviet Union is gone, Russia still has the government. Does the government just watch outsiders come to grab things?"

Chen Tiandao: "Dean Liu, you don't work in our system, so you may not know much about the situation in Russia. Now the situation in Russia is completely out of control, and even the strategic missile force is left alone. For the sake of money, some The army even dared to take out nuclear warheads and trade them in the market. Now terrorist organizations around the world are rushing to Russia, and they all plan to get one or two nuclear warheads."

"No way!" Liu Xianghai turned pale with shock, "This is a big event that will break the sky. Is your news true?"

Chen Tiandao: "We only got some rumors, but the Americans are already contacting us, asking us to cooperate with us to stop the nuclear weapons deal in Russia. As you know, the US intelligence agencies don't have much contact with us. But this time they were really impatient, so they came directly to the door."

Liu Xianghai said: "This is natural. If the nuclear warheads are lost, it will threaten the safety of all mankind. In this matter, ideological differences can also be put aside."

"Dean Liu is right." Chen Tiandao, "So, what Zhenhua said is reasonable. Instead of letting them fall into the hands of Western countries, we should get them back from the former Soviet Union. Anyway. , we are also a socialist country, and we are the most entitled to inherit it.”

"It could be like this?" Liu Xianghai said thoughtfully. He turned to look at Lin Zhenhua and asked, "Xiao Lin, is this why you called me to Beijing? I still don't understand a little bit about this matter." Why are you looking for me?"

"There are two reasons." Lin Zhenhua said, "First, the most powerful technology of the former Soviet Union is mainly concentrated in the military industry, so the technology we are going to develop this time is mostly related to the military industry, and the military industry has the most to say. Of course it's you, Mr. Liu."

"Little Lin, what do you call Mr. Liu so weirdly?" Liu Xianghai said angrily, "You should call me Old Liu."

"Well, let's call you Old Liu." Lin Zhenhua said with a chuckle. He called Liu Xianghai Mr. Liu for fun. "The second reason is naturally because your old Liu was born in the Soviet Union. There are a lot of relatives and friends, and those relatives and friends of yours are the technical backbones of various departments. If we want to recruit talents, you are the most suitable one to lead the way."

"You plan to bring scientists from the former Soviet Union to China?" Liu Xianghai asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Of course, what is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent! I don't care about anything from the former Soviet Union, but the large number of scientists are priceless treasures. If we do, it will have too much impact on us.”

Liu Xianghai nodded and said: "You are right. The military industries of the United States and the Soviet Union each have their own strengths. If the Americans get the military technology of the Soviet Union, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, and the threat to us will be even greater in the future. Xiaolin, don't you I know how much impact the Gulf War last year had on our entire military industrial system. The technological gap between us and the United States is really terrible. If the Americans obtain Soviet technology again, we will really only be able to Passively beaten."

The Gulf War a year ago was the first high-tech war in human history.The high-tech strength displayed by the U.S. military in the war really surprised the global military community.That is, from that time on, the Chinese military began to deeply understand the necessity of military technological change.

However, knowledge is knowledge. In terms of actual actions, China is still very slow.The reason for this sluggishness is that the national strength is really weak, and high-tech is a thing that burns money. With China's economic strength at the time, it is simply a beggar and a dragon king who are richer than the United States.

"Old Liu, so you agree with our plan to go to Russia to recruit people?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Liu Xianghai said: "I am basically convinced by the two of you now. However, this matter involves a lot of importance. I still need to report to the Naval Equipment Department. Maybe the three headquarters have to make a joint decision on this matter."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old Liu, let me tell you that if you make a mistake, there will be no such shop in this village. Don't just study it for more than half a year. Half a year is enough for the Americans to poach the foundations of the Soviets. "

Liu Xianghai said: "No, there are priorities. Things like this belong to the top priority. I don't think the leaders of the headquarters will delay. How about this, Xiao Lin, Xiao Chen, you guys roughly sort out your thoughts In a moment, I will bring these thoughts to Minister Zhang Zhifang, and ask him to report to the third headquarters."

"No problem, I have already written a report, you can bring it to Minister Zhang." Lin Zhenhua said, and handed Liu Xianghai a plan he wrote.Liu Xianghai flipped through it briefly, and couldn't help but sighed, "Xiao Lin, your heart is too big. According to your plan, you want to wipe out the family property of the former Soviet Union. No, no, your idea is too big." Yes, the headquarters leaders will not agree."

It's no wonder that Liu Xianghai feels scared. In Lin Zhenhua's plan, he suggested that the country organize a huge headhunting team to go to all research institutes and universities in Russia to recruit all valuable scientists and engineers.In addition, it is also recommended to go to various large factories in Russia to recruit senior technicians in a non-governmental manner.In view of the fact that Russia is dismantling the former Soviet army on a large scale, this report also proposes to choose an opportunity to acquire heavy equipment in the former Soviet army, including the Varyag aircraft carrier, the Glory-class cruiser, the Typhoon-class nuclear submarine, and the Backfire strategic bomber... …

"Hey, the stage is as big as your heart is." Lin Zhenhua said proudly, "Old Liu, you have to change your mind. The disintegration of the Soviet Union is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you want to have such an opportunity again, you can only Wait for the disintegration of the United States. If you don’t make a fortune at this time, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

"President Liu, Zhenhua's plan is just an idea. Some things may not be realized, but it means to be prepared. If we don't think about things thoroughly, we may not have time to think about it when we arrive in Russia." Chen Tian was beating the side drum at the side.Lin Zhenhua's report was produced with Chen Tian's help, and he had already sent a copy to the leader of the security department.

Liu Xianghai's passion was also incited by Lin Zhenhua and Chen Tian, ​​he solemnly stuffed the report into his bag, and said: "Okay, then I will accompany you two young people to go crazy Good guy, if we succeed in directly purchasing Soviet aircraft carriers, cruisers, and nuclear submarines, our strength will rise to several levels at once. Kobayashi, let me tell you, if we really have the opportunity to buy these Things, you companies have to help pay for it."

"No way, old Liu, you dignified military, can't you even get this small amount of money?" Lin Zhenhua complained.

"Small money?" Liu Xianghai glared, "I'm afraid we can't get these things without several tens of billions? How much do we spend on military spending a year?"

"Issuing national bonds." Lin Zhenhua suggested, "I would like to make a suggestion to the Military Commission. It is called special public bonds to save the Soviet Union's resources. I personally subscribe for 200 million first."

Chen Tian smiled slightly and said: "Come on, Zhenhua, don't be poor, let Dean Liu report quickly. We still have something to do. We are going to Russia, we have to think about what name we will go with, Which people to take. Also, do you want to deal with Russian officials?"

"Okay, you guys have discussed it, I'm going to see Minister Zhang now." Liu Xianghai said.

　Another major event in the early 90s was the Gulf War, which directly affected the process of China's military modernization.Thanks to several readers for their tips in the book review section.Also, the time of the Gulf War was wrong before, thank you book friends for reminding me in the book review area.
