A Mercenary’s War

The Black Sea Shipyard, the only carrier assembly plant in the former Soviet Union, all aircraft carriers in the Soviet Union were assembled from here, including the Russian Kuznetsov.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea shipyard was lost, and Russia could no longer build aircraft carriers.

At a personal level, there is no need for aircraft carriers at all, and it is impossible for Ukraine to create its own aircraft carriers to be powerless and there is no need to feed a large team of engineers. Even if those engineers are extremely valuable assets, the small Buddha cannot hold the big Buddha. This is the reason.

Grolev was not surprised at all. He just sighed a bit, but Gao Yang was a little surprised, because he knew that since the collapse of the Soviet Union, scientists and engineers who even have problems in life have been demanded by the world. The ambitious countries solicited a lot, and Huaxia actually collected a lot of talents from it.

"Sir, I am a little curious. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, China, South Korea, and many countries recruited talents like you with high treatment. Why didn't you leave?"

The old man turned around and looked at Gao Yang, then he twisted back, after a bitter smile, he said with a deep voice: "I am Ukrainian, I don't want to go anywhere."

There was a brief silence in the car, but after a while, the old man smiled bitterly again: "I'm sorry, I think I lied out of self-esteem, okay, if I can let me choose another time, I will definitely leave Ukraine , My ideals, my efforts, my dead father, my wife, my son and daughter, everyone wants me to be an engineer instead of driving a taxi here, I once chose this country Loyalty, but my loyalty can only make me a taxi driver. I think this is destiny. I used to be a promising and respected engineer, but now I am driving his **** taxi here! Drive this **** taxi! "

The old man moved again, he unconsciously increased the volume, said: "Gentlemen, I have experienced the disintegration of the Soviet Union! The country where I plan to pay everything is gone, I became a Ukrainian, okay! Now my mom has to face these again, and I watch my own country again. His mom has been made into what it is now! And I ca n’t do anything, I have to start to support my family. This car is a **** taxi, because my pension is not enough to eat and my mom often ca n’t get it to me! "

The old man was a little out of control because he started to cry when he was talking. After wiping his tears, he stopped the car to the side of the road, and quickly squirmed on his face, trembling: "Sorry, I have some Too jī moved, please don't get off the bus, it's too dangerous here, we'll leave right away, leave right away. "

Grolev said warmly: "It doesn't matter, sir, you can take a break here."

The old man buried his face on the steering wheel, his shoulders shrugged and choked: "All ruined, and again, everything is ruined."

After staying for about three minutes, the old man raised his head, picked up a towel that wiped the car on his face, and wiped his face with a smile of self-deprecation. He shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't move too much. Now, let you see a grumpy old man crying his nose here, oh, I can only say sorry. "

Gao Yang whispered: "It doesn't matter, sir, we understand you, please don't be ashamed of this, in addition, I must tell you that there are too few people like you who understand what your country will face. It ’s lonely. "

The old man shook his head, wiped his hands with a clean white towel, and extended his hand to Grolev, whispering: "It's nice to meet you, thank you for listening to an old man's complaints, I My name is Nikolai Yashkov. "

Grolev whispered: "You can call me Yuri, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Yaskov."

"My name is Peter and I am very happy to meet you, Mr. Yaskov."

Gao Yang reported the fake name on his passport, which was the pseudonym he would always use in Ukraine, and shook hands with Nikolay.

Nicholas smiled a little and whispered: "Sorry to the two again, now we continue on the road."

After the car started again, he whispered: "Mr. Yashkov, can I ask why you did not go to another country when the Soviet Union collapsed? I think your most suitable position should be an engineer, not a rental. Driver. "

Nikolay smiled bitterly: "Fate, this is fate. I was young at the time, not even forty years old. It was the age of Fenghua Zhengmao, and I was already a senior engineer at the Black Sea Shipyard, but many people I left, but I did n’t, because I was regarded as the hope of the Black Sea shipyard, so they left me a position, although they are not comparable to the treatment abroad, but I still want to stay.

At that time, many people had illusions, thinking that the Black Sea shipyard could survive, even if they built civilian ships, they could survive, but later proved that these are fantasy, we were fooled, in 1995, the aircraft carrier was handed over to the Black Sea The shipyard has full discretion, but what can it do? It is impossible for us to complete it. That year, our old captain Mark Love retired. The Black Sea shipyard is not as good as a year. We have no work to do. We rely on the seller to pay the employees ’salaries. Although the salary is small, I can barely make ends meet. Until the sale is unsaleable and the employee ’s salary cannot be paid out, I can only be forced to retire early, which is already 2000. "

With a wave of his hand, Nikolay sighed: "The Americans tricked us and watched the aircraft carrier, which I devoted half my life to, was first dismantled into empty shells, and finally towed away as scrap iron, my heart was broken , Lost his job, retired blondes did n’t have the hands, they could n’t compare to the mood of watching their energy being dragged away as scrap metal, but fortunately, the aircraft carrier got a new life, anyway, it ’s better to stay in the dock It's better to be rusty.

The Black Sea Shipyard has nothing, why am I still not leaving? Because I am valued, gentlemen, it is sometimes not good to be valued, and I am reluctant to leave. My family and everything are in Ukraine. How can I leave easily? "

Gao Yang nodded gently, but before she had time to express her opinion, Nikolay smiled bitterly again: "Sorry, sorry, I lied again, this set of rhetoric I have said too much in recent years, to As for getting used to nature, in fact, where can I go? I have n’t worked in a long time, and my expertise has n’t been shown. I ’m outdated, just like the Black Sea Shipyard, we are outdated together, China, Korea , They have trained their own engineers, they no longer need us old men, at least not as much as they needed, and now the new engineers have richer knowledge, use new machinery and equipment, yes, new people in the new shipyard When building a new ship, the old man accompanied the old shipyard and the old ship to decay. This is the end of us. "

Was so sad that Gao Yang couldn't help but start feeling uncomfortable. He said in a deep voice: "Don't say that, every engineer is a precious asset."

Nikolay said with a smile: "Thank you for your comfort, but this is really destiny. In 1992, a Chinese person invited me to Huaxia, but I did not go, because I think the Black Sea shipyard needs me more. Unfortunately, I missed that Opportunity, I will never have a chance again. Who would be able to see an engineer who has not done any actual work in 20 years? Is there? "

Gaoyang couldn't answer Nikolai's question because he knew nothing about the field of the question.

Unable to hear Gao Yang ’s response, Nikolay smiled and said, “I am forced to retire, but my pension is not enough to eat, and my wife is sick, so I came to drive a taxi, I can earn a lot more money from driving a rental than my pension. Speaking of it, I started this business in 2003, for eleven years, and I should actually thank this profession and thank this car for providing me with a job. . "

Gao Yang couldn't help saying: "Do you have no children?"

Although he knew that he had different ideas about old age, Gao Yang still asked his question.

Nikolay said with a smile: "Yes, he just passed the professional engineer exam last year and became an engineer. I trained my son to be an engineer ~ www.readwn.com ~ just used the money I made by renting it. At the age of twenty-seven, he became an engineer, but he was much better than I was then. "

After speaking, Nikolay sighed again: "Speaking of which, my mood has become worse again. My son has become an engineer but cannot find any job. Ukraine cannot provide him with job opportunities. I have been working for a long time, and in the current situation, I may not be able to give him any job opportunities for a long time. I want to drive a taxi like me. After being scolded by me, I now give up this idea. I hope he I can go abroad to find opportunities, maybe I can find a job suitable for him, but it is very difficult, very difficult. "

Gao Yang thought to Nikolay seriously: "Mr. Yashkov, I have a proposal, I hope you can think about it, this is the case, we are outsiders, we need a reliable driver to bring We go to many places, and compared to your colleagues, I think you are very suitable, what do you mean? "

After hesitating for a while, Nikolay said, "You guys want to charter a car? Well, this is okay, no problem, but I have to ask how much is the chartered car a day. If you want to use a car at night, the price is higher. Now, the situation is not good and the prices have all gone up. I do n’t know if you can accept it. "

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Don't ask, what do you think of a thousand dollars a day? Oh, we are journalists. Sometimes, it is inevitable to go to some dangerous places. If you go to dangerous places, you will get a dangerous allowance. Sample? "(To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team @]
