Chapter 436 Going to China to Build an Aircraft Carrier

When Lin Zhenhua shouted, not to mention startled the people around him, even he himself felt a little abrupt, but he didn't regret it at all.At this moment, he just wanted to shout out this sentence loudly, that's right, $100 million!If the Americans dare to raise the price, they will call out a high price of 1000 million without hesitation.

Just now, when they heard Tuchinov say "the Red Navy is over", Lin Zhenhua, Chen Tian and Liu Xianghai couldn't help but burst into tears.Although the Soviet army has been a huge threat to China since the 60s, the collapse of the Soviet army should be a blessing for the Chinese.But watching a huge empire collapse like this, Lin Zhenhua and others still couldn't help but feel the same sadness.

If one million US dollars can be used to retain the glory of the former Soviet Union in memory, Lin Zhenhua will not refuse.

"Young man, are you Chinese or Japanese? Please don't disturb my deal with this gentleman." Tuchinov was still drunk, he looked at Lin Zhenhua and said in a slightly annoyed tone.In his opinion, Lin Zhenhua must have come to disrupt the situation. It is absolutely impossible to buy a medal for 100 million US dollars.

Lin Zhenhua said: "I am a Chinese, academician Tuchinov, you should know that Chinese people have credibility in what they say. I repeat, I am willing to pay 100 million!"

"Are you crazy?" Tuchinov asked in astonishment. From Lin Zhenhua's face, he really couldn't see any mischievous expression.

"Tuchnov, do you still remember me?" Liu Xianghai walked out from Lin Zhenhua and stood in front of Tuchinov.

"You..." Tuchinov's eyes widened. He looked Liu Xianghai up and down. After a long time, his lips moved slightly, and there was a look of surprise, joy, shyness and sadness in his eyes.

"You are... Andre?" The memory finally returned to Tuchinov's mind, and he recognized Liu Xianghai's classmate and friend more than 30 years ago from Liu Xianghai's sincere eyes.

"It's me, I'm Andre!" Liu Xianghai opened his arms and hugged Tuchinov tightly.

Seeing this scene of old friends meeting, the onlookers knew that the medal deal would definitely not work out.The American shrugged his shoulders and quietly disappeared without waiting for others to say anything.The other Russians discussed a few words with each other, and returned to their tables in twos and threes.

After Liu Xianghai hugged Tuchinov, he introduced Chen Tian and Lin Zhenhua to him.When introducing Lin Zhenhua, Tuchinov said to Lin Zhenhua in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, Lin, I didn't know just now..."

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Tuchinov, what I just said is serious. If you want to transfer your gold steering wheel medal, I am willing to pay 100 million US dollars."

"Andre, what's going on?" Tuchinov turned his head and asked Liu Xianghai.

Liu Xianghai looked around and said, "Tuchnov, let's talk in another place. Or, let's go to Teacher Savyev's house, just like in the past."

Tuchinov hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He pulled his wife Liusha over and said to her, "Liusha, go and buy some wine and some food. Teacher Saviev's family is not very well off. Let him spend it."

"But...the family doesn't have much money anymore." Liu Sha said in a small voice, embarrassed.

It's not that Liu Sha is stingy and stingy, it's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.In the past six months, prices have risen too fast, and the few savings in many families have been severely reduced due to soaring prices, and the increase in wages has been far behind the pace of prices, so most working families are currently in a difficult situation status of life.It is too shabby to invite friends who have not seen each other for more than 30 years to have a meal. If it is more grand, I am afraid that half a month of food expenses at home will be wasted.As a housewife, she had to hesitate.

Lin Zhenhua could clearly see the couple's whispering from the side.He stepped forward and said to Tuchinov: "Academician Tuchinov, you don't need to arrange anything, leave this matter to me."

"You..." Tuchinov said.

"I'm a friend of Lao Liu. In the words of our Chinese, I'm the group of people who got rich first. Let me arrange dinner. What do you think?" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.

A group of people left the bar and walked towards Savyev's house.Lin Zhenhua called Ke Yungen, who was secretly protecting them, at the entrance of the bar, and whispered a few words to him.Ke Yungen was only stunned for a second, and then ran away like flying. Liu Xianghai had explained before that Chen Tian and Lin Zhenhua were both chiefs, and the guards had to obey their words.

The crowd came to Savyev's house, and the host and guest sat down.Savyev asked Tuchinov about selling medals, and then gave him a scolding.Although Tuchinov is already a great scientist who has achieved great success and fame, he is still quite obedient in front of the teacher, and he dare not even speak back when he is scolded.

"Okay, teacher, Tuchinov was just confused for a while, so don't scold him." Liu Xianghai had to come out to smooth things over, and he said: "I haven't seen you for more than 30 years, let's talk about something happy .By the way, does Sergey also live in this yard, can you call him here too, so that we can get together?"

"Sergey..." Savyev and Tuchinov looked at each other, and their voices became low.

"What?" Liu Xianghai was taken aback for a moment, he noticed the strange expression of the two people, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter with Sergey?"

"Sergey...he's dead." Tuchinov said with his head down.

"Dead!" Liu Xianghai turned pale with shock, "This is impossible! Before I left China, I specifically inquired about his news, but there was no news about his illness. How could he be dead?"

Tuchinov took a deep breath, let it out again, and then said slowly: "He committed suicide. Just last week, when it was heard that the last aircraft carrier of the Navy was about to be decommissioned , he had a nervous breakdown. He locked himself in the laboratory for a whole day and night. When his assistant forced the door open and entered, he was found dead. He used the silver rewarded to him by Khrushchev himself. Killed himself with a pistol."

"How could this happen! How could this be happening!" Liu Xianghai burst into tears, saying the same sentence over and over again.

"Sergey, like me, has only done one thing in his life, and that is to design an aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier is his life, and it is also my life. Without the aircraft carrier, his life will end." Tuchinov Said, "Andrei, you know that Sergey is a very paranoid person. Over the years, both of us have been designing aircraft carriers, he advocates ski jump takeoff, and I insist on catapult We have been arguing for 30 years, from young to gray temples. However, everything is so ridiculous. Before we can reach a conclusion, the Soviet Union no longer has an aircraft carrier, and all arguments are meaningless. "

"Is there no one who should be responsible for his death?" Liu Xianghai asked bitterly.

Tuchinov asked: "Who should be responsible? Those who are responsible are those who brought down the Soviet Union. There are more than one people like Sergei who committed suicide because they had no hope for the future. Just the friends I know, there are already several."

Speaking of this, he said with a self-deprecating smile: "Actually, I should go with him, maybe we should go to God to continue our quarrel. However, I lack the courage like him, so I have to go every day Anesthetize yourself with alcohol."

"Tuchnov, you must never leave me and the children behind." Liusha said tearfully, holding Tuchinov's hand. In fact, ever since she learned of Sergei's suicide, Liusha had been Hanging with a heart, I am afraid that my husband will also walk on this dead end.

"No, Liusha, I won't commit suicide." Tuchinov patted the back of Liusha's hand and said, "Okay, I'm already tired, and I will never touch a duckbill pen again for the rest of my life. Liusha, let's go to the countryside, I will be a good labor force."

Liu Xianghai said: "Tuchnov, you shouldn't be so depressed. You are the best aircraft carrier designer in the world, and you can't give up your profession."

Tuchinov said: "Andrei, it's not that I am depressed, but I know that Russia will not be able to rebuild aircraft carriers for at least 20 years. What does 20 years mean to people of our age? ?I tried to persuade the Ministry of National Defense to spend some money to at least maintain a research platform to ensure that the knowledge and experience of us people can be passed on, but the Ministry of Defense refused on the grounds that there is no budget.”

Liu Xianghai said: "Tuchnov, I have heard about the situation in Russia. I am here this time to find you and Sergey. I want to invite you two to China to help us build an aircraft carrier. "

"To China?" Tuchinov looked at Lin Zhenhua meaningfully and said, "Is this why you are willing to pay 100 million US dollars for the medal in my hand?"

This is called Ming people don't speak secretly. Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly and said: "Academician Tuchinov, your value is more than 100 million US dollars."

Liu Xianghai said: "Tuchnov, Kobayashi is right, you are worth more than 100 million US dollars. If you are willing to go to China to work, you can ask for salary as you like. Of course, 100 million US dollars may be difficult to achieve at present. After all, China is a developing country with very limited military spending. However, I think an annual salary of 5 to 10 U.S. dollars should be achievable.”

Hearing the price, Liu Sha's eyes lit up. From $5 to $10, that's a lot more than the upstart Anatoly earned.However, Liusha didn't know what her husband was thinking, and she didn't dare to intervene in such an important matter, but she just clenched Tuchinov's hand even tighter.

Turchinov couldn't feel his wife's careful thinking. He smiled wryly, turned his head and said to Savyev, "Teacher, what's your opinion?"

　Others went to eat, and I sat in the office making instant noodles, just to catch up with a chapter.I was touched by myself.If you don't have a monthly pass, vote for a few recommended votes to comfort the stomach of Chengzi.
