Yao Yuan did not enter the bank building, but found a place to sit on the edge. Looking at the cars that kept coming in and out, bringing Westerners in suits and ties, Yao Yuan could not help but fall into deep thought.

The Soviet people have accumulated nearly 30 trillion U.S. dollars of wealth in nearly seventy years. Since last year, this wealth, the largest in human history, has been plundered by Westerners through various means, mainly financial, overnight.

Tens of thousands of billionaires have been created.

China, which was once in the same camp, did not get a share of the pie and missed an excellent development opportunity. From military technology to energy resources, the Chinese people did not get a share.

In Yao Yuan's eyes, the Westerners coming in and out before him seemed as if everyone walking out of the National Bank of Russia took away a huge amount of wealth, which made Yao Yuan very angry.

Whether it is from the ideological camp or traditional ethics, the Soviet Union as the big brother has disintegrated. In any case, it will not be the turn of the Western countries in the hostile camp to share the food. It is natural that China should accept part of the legacy.

This is Yao Yuan’s unique logic.

Zhong Weiguo came over and sat down, smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Handing Zhong Weiguo a cigarette, Yao Yuan lit one, took two puffs, and said, "The Soviet Union had tens of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, thousands of nuclear weapons, and nearly four million regular troops. They landed on the moon and disappeared overnight."

"

"Yes." Zhong Weiguo lamented, "No one could have imagined that a superpower that could stand up to the entire NATO group on its own would just disappear."

Yao Yuan said, "We passed a makeshift market on the way here, and barter transactions are very common. What the people of Moscow lack are not tanks and artillery, but daily necessities, and even food." The United Nations Food Program released a few days ago

A report was issued stating that this past winter, thousands of people starved to death in Russia alone due to lack of food. This report was withdrawn within a day after it came out.”

Zhong Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the street. It was so depressed that it didn't look like the capital of a once superpower.

In such a powerful country, it is unbelievable that thousands of people starve to death due to lack of food.

But this is the bloody fact.

"This giant has fallen. The Yeltsin government has fully westernized, which means it has been laid flat and allowed to be eaten by Western countries. Brother Zhong, whether we can use this opportunity to raise our strength to a higher level depends on this year and next year."

Yao Yuan said in a deep voice.

Zhong Weiguo said with emotion, "After the Gulf War, the military began to reflect. It is said that the US military prepared more than 50,000 body bags, but they suffered less than 100 casualties, and the ground combat part only lasted 100 hours. Iraq

The army was wiped out. Facts have proved that the old ways are no longer enough, and the future is modern high-tech warfare. But what about us?"

He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Yao Yuan nodded slowly and said, "Yes, the research and development of fourth-generation aircraft in the United States has entered the final stage. Their third-generation aircraft have been developed for more than ten years, but the main force of our air force is still a large number of second-generation fighter jets.

6. We are too far behind.”

"This is why I came to Moscow again, Xiao Yao, I still want to ask you for help." Zhong Weiguo didn't feel the slightest embarrassment.

I have already borrowed two billion US dollars, and I don’t care if I bother Yao Yuan any more.

Yao Yuan said with a smile, "Let me guess, the scope involved this time should include the three armed forces, helicopters, bombers, destroyers, missiles, oh, and large transport aircraft, right?"

"Yes, it's a very huge project with dozens of sub-projects. I have to negotiate one by one, so I won't be returning to China in the short term." Zhong Weiguo said with a smile.

With a budget of two billion US dollars in hand, the army will not let this money lie in the bank to mold. The Su-27 without two or three regiments cannot spend so much money, and there is also a problem of payment time.

Two billion U.S. dollars can completely turn into tens of billions of U.S. dollars worth of business.

From the day he met Zhong Weiguo again, Yao Yuan guessed that the army must have a large arms purchase project.

The Gulf War shocked the world so much. The US military used a series of gorgeous new combat methods to show the world its modern warfare model. The Iraqi army in the 1990s was a powerful army in the Middle East and even around the world.

, before the war started, it was generally believed that this would be a protracted local war, most likely the Americans' "Second Vietnam War", and even the Americans themselves were prepared to pay heavy casualties.

The more than 50,000 body bags are proof of this.

In fact, Americans themselves are not aware that the high-tech-led war model is so powerful, and they are shocked!

The Chinese military, which has been stagnant for many years, must first solve the problem of upgrading weapons and equipment, and the Gulf War undoubtedly pointed out the future development direction of weapons and equipment for Chinese soldiers.

This is the origin of touching the American troops across the river.

Obviously, Zhong Weiguo didn't have time to hang out with Yao Yuan. He had something to ask Yao Yuan's opinion about, and Yao Yuan had already expected this.

Yao Yuan took the initiative and said, "Brother Zhong, if Xinxing Group still needs funds, please ask Mr. Li Yan and Li to come to me at any time. I have also started to make money in the Tokyo securities market, and the funds are sufficient."

The layout of the Tokyo securities market has already begun. All the required funds were raised by companies controlled by overseas directors such as Su Wangting and Lu Sen. US$500 million has been invested one after another.

This money is the starting capital for Yao Yuan to take advantage of the bursting of Japan's real estate economic bubble and plunder Japanese wealth.

He made rigorous arrangements, and after the trip was over, the time point for Tokyo had arrived.

"There is no problem with funds for the time being." Zhong Weiguo said with a smile, "Xiao Yao, you have helped us so much and you don't come to us if you have something to do. What do you think about it?"

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "What about Huashi Machinery Factory?"

"Yeah." Zhong Weiguo nodded.

Yao Yuan knew what Zhong Weiguo must have known. Anyone would be extremely concerned about the situation of a large creditor holding two billion US dollars in debt.

"I can handle small things by myself," Yao Yuan said.

Zhong Weiguo expressed his position, "In a word, you can come to us if you have anything, and we will try our best to help."

This is not an exaggeration at all. When the military comes forward, even a hundred Huashi Machinery Factories are not enough.

What Yao Yuan said is reasonable. The trouble caused by Huashi Machinery Factory is really not worth mentioning. They had no idea that the military would come forward.

"Yes, we may need Xinxing Group's help soon," Yao Yuan said.

Zhong Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Any time, it's just a matter of words."

What he was most worried about was that Yao Yuan had nothing to ask for. It was the logic of a businessman to ask for something, otherwise it would not be practical even if he had a loan of two billion US dollars in his hand.

Yao Yuan suddenly said, "Brother Zhong, do you know the Nikolayev Shipyard?"

"Nikolaev?" Zhong Weiguo shook his head blankly.

Yao Yuan said, "The Black Sea Shipyard, located in Nikolayev Oblast, Ukraine, is the only aircraft carrier assembly shipyard in the Soviet Union and the only shipyard in the Soviet Union that can build aircraft carriers."

"I know that all the large aircraft-carrying cruisers of the Soviet Red Navy were built by this shipyard." Zhong Weiguo suddenly realized.

The Soviet Union called aircraft carriers large aircraft-carrying cruisers.

Yao Yuan said, "This is an election year in the United States. It is generally believed that it will be a battle between President Bush and Clinton. The Gulf War will be very detrimental to President Bush."

Jumping from the Black Sea Shipyard to the US election, Zhong Weiguo didn't know what Yao Yuan wanted to express.

It is generally believed in the country that President Bush can be re-elected successfully. This is a US president who is relatively friendly to China. Even if he was forced to announce sanctions against China, President Bush still secretly sent a special envoy to China to explain.

If President Bush can be re-elected, China will have another four-year period of relatively relaxed international environment.

However, there are no ifs in history, and Clinton, who is tough on China, will come to power in January 1993.

Yao is far from capable of influencing the US election, but he can use the remaining few months to do more things. And some things are beyond his control as a businessman.

Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "If, I mean, if Clinton comes to power, the U.S. policy toward China will definitely undergo major changes. Judging from the policies Clinton adheres to during the campaign and the party he belongs to, the situation our country will face in the future will only be worse.

"

He looked at Zhong Weiguo, "On my last trip to Eastern Europe, I went to the Black Sea Shipyard and bought an icebreaker. I learned some things. They have two aircraft carriers, one of which has completed 80% of the progress, and only one remaining

One has been outfitted, with a displacement of 60,000 to 70,000 tons, and the other is in the No. 1 dock, with a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons, and only the hull construction has been completed."

Zhong Weiguo guessed something and asked subconsciously, "Is it expensive?"

"It's very cheap." Yao Yuan said thoughtfully, "The icebreaker I bought is a new ship that has completed 90% of the progress, with a displacement of 25,000 tons, and it only cost 20 million US dollars, which is almost like getting it for free.

"

He didn't dare say it was nuclear powered.

Zhong Weiguo was stunned and said with emotion, "It's really almost like giving it away for free."

A Su-27 heavy fighter jet costs US$25 million at the Sukhoi Aircraft Factory, and a 25,000-ton icebreaker only costs US$2,500.

In fact, Yao Yuan paid half of the rubles at that time, and what he actually spent was even less.

"The situation at the Black Sea Shipyard is very bad. Without financial allocations, they can't even pay workers' salaries. There is no big problem in buying two aircraft carriers from them. I also have some connections in Kiev.

I also have a good relationship with the factory director Lermontov," Yao Yuan said.

The Eastern European business department that Su Wangting is responsible for is located in Kiev, and the network built up with a lot of dollars can be said to be huge and powerful.

There are many obstacles for private companies to buy military ships. The United Nations arms control agreement alone will block Yao Yuan from the door.

Unless it is dismantled, but if it is dismantled, it will be meaningless.

Yao Yuan also thought about imitating the operations of a private enterprise in his previous life, but when he thought about the nearly three-year journey back to China, he backed down because the risks involved were too great.

The most important thing is that this is 1992, not 1999 when the international environment was worse.

He has many choices.

Yao Yuan said, "The large-scale fighting in the Gulf War has just ended, and Americans will temporarily focus on the Middle East. This is an opportunity."

Zhong Weiguo understood and said, "Are you worried about something going wrong on the way back home?"

"Yeah." Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "The Bosporus is the most critical pass. If Clinton comes to power, the Americans will definitely put pressure on Turkey and refuse us to pass through this strait."

Historically, the Varyag aircraft carrier was stuck in the Black Sea for two years because of Turkey's refusal.

Without the support of the United States and the NATO group, Turkey would not dare to confront one of the five gangsters.

Yao Yuan said, "In the next ten years, the rest of this year is the best opportunity, and it is also the only opportunity this century for our country to obtain an aircraft carrier, even if it is a semi-finished product."
