Chapter 400: The Fourth Generation Soviet Aircraft Carrier

Mavie thought carefully and then said something that surprised General Petrovie, "This is how you say, General! In order to express your gratitude to your country, when the new generation of aircraft carriers is successfully developed, I think the Ukrainian Navy will have its own aircraft carrier! And there is no need to bear any construction costs."

As soon as he finished speaking, General Petrovi on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment! He instantly understood what Mavi was saying. For the Ukrainian Navy, it was fake that he did not want to have his own aircraft carrier battle group.

Unfortunately, the conditions really do not allow it, so they do it. But if someone sponsors it, that's another matter! I believe that based on this premise, the internal voices opposing joint development of aircraft carriers will be much smaller.

"Mavie, are you talking seriously?" Admiral Petrovi asked Mavie confirmingly. The new generation of aircraft carriers is too tempting. However, its cost will exceed 500 million US dollars, and this amount is not a decimal.

"Of course it's serious, General Petrovi." Mavi said calmly on the phone. This money may be a very large amount for the Ukrainian Navy. But for Mavi now, it is just a small amount of money.

In order to successfully develop a new generation of aircraft carriers, and to consolidate the relationship between Ukraine and Russia, he also made it. It was just a technological investment. After all, Ukraine helped, and did not ask Russia for fees. It is worth giving some subsidies (500 million US dollars to buy aircraft carrier technology, which is a very cost-effective transaction).

By then, the aircraft carrier will be successfully developed and the money will be fully profitable. Russia will be able to master the technology of building aircraft carriers. Moreover, the Russian Navy will also invest half of the capital, which was agreed before.

Three days later, a reply came from the Ukrainian Navy headquarters, saying that through their efforts, they sent 1 to 2 scientists to 12. With this professional team of scientists, I believe that the development of a new generation of aircraft carriers should not be a problem.

"Mavie, our 12 scientists from Ukraine will arrive in your Russia tomorrow." Admiral Petrovi made everything well. He took a lot of credit for the reason why the negotiation was completed so quickly and smoothly this time.

"Thank you, General! I'll come to Ukraine another day and I'll treat you to a drink!" Mawei said thankfully on the phone for $500 million. If you buy the latest aircraft carrier technology, you won't lose any loss.

After all, some countries would not be able to buy such military secrets even if they spend 1 billion or 1.5 billion. If Russia and Ukraine were not in this life, they would still be allies. Otherwise, Mavie would not have been able to discuss the matter so smoothly.

Russia in his previous life had a stalemate with Ukraine, and until 2019, there was no new generation of aircraft carriers in service (the technology was mainly in Ukraine).

All I have is the old Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. Moreover, the entire aircraft carrier is rusty and has undergone 8 major repairs. I am really afraid that one day I will accidentally sink suddenly. That will make the whole world laugh...

"You're welcome, Mavie, to be honest, we have to thank you!" Admiral Petrovie was also a real person. If Mavie had no such proposal, they would probably have to rot the Ukrainian Navy with aircraft carrier technology and do nothing.

In the long run, once there is a technical fault and there is no new progress, it means it is eliminated by the times.

...

The next afternoon, 12 aircraft carrier scientists who flew to Russia from Ukraine appeared on time at the Navy Headquarters in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The development of the new generation of aircraft carriers this time is very important. Even more important than the development of the fourth generation strategic nuclear submarine decided by the Russian Navy some time ago. After all, Russia only has the technology to build submarines and lacks the R&D capabilities related to aircraft carriers.

To this end, the Russian Navy Headquarters urgently dispatched 16 navigation scientists from all over the world and worked with the Ukrainian team to develop the fourth-generation aircraft carrier of the "Soviet" in collaboration.

The reason why the "Soviet" fourth-generation aircraft carrier is that the predecessor of Ukraine and Russia is the Soviet Union. This so-called fourth-generation aircraft carrier sounds like a 4th-generation fighter jet and a fourth-generation nuclear submarine.

But in fact, it is very different.

The development history of the Soviet Union's aircraft carriers has experienced many ups and downs. In the era of superpowers, the former Soviet Union once had the second most powerful navy in the world and competed fiercely with the US Navy in all oceans around the world. However, in terms of aircraft carriers, the former Soviet Union was a world apart from the United States.

This gap was not compensated until the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Not to mention that Russia today cannot have an aircraft carrier that can match the United States in a short period of time.

As early as the early 20th century when the aircraft carrier first emerged, Tsarist Russia planned to build an aircraft carrier with a speed of 30 knots, but it failed due to the outbreak of World War I.

After the October Revolution, the former Soviet Union planned to build an aircraft carrier during the third five-year plan period from 1938. However, the war in World War II once again caused this plan to abort. After the war, the former Soviet Union had a "big fleet" plan to build aircraft carriers, but the death of the president once again failed.

The Soviet Union in his previous life did not have a turning point until the 1960s. During the Cuban missile crisis, the former Soviet Union suffered all the hardships of no aircraft carriers; in order to deal with the threat of the US "Polaris" ballistic missile submarine at that time, it was imperative to develop aircraft carriers.

The new commander-in-chief of the Navy tried hard to mediate, and finally convinced the Soviet president to develop the first generation of aircraft carriers, the Moscow and the Leningrad.

Speaking of the Cuban missile crisis, it was the closest crisis in human destruction in the past life. It was the biggest danger in human history caused by the United States and the Soviet Union. Fortunately, demise was forced to stop at the last moment, otherwise the fate of the entire earth might really be in the apocalypse of nuclear radiation and nuclear pollution like a science fiction movie, and gradually declined...

The Cuban missile crisis exposed the shortcomings of Soviet missiles and the navy was inferior to the United States, which was also an important reason why the Soviet Union finally retreated to the United States. Based on this, the Soviet Union vigorously developed nuclear weapons and navy, and finally temporarily caught up with the United States in the 1970s.

However, on the surface, it seems that the former Soviet Union lost to the United States. However, some details have been ignored. That is, the United States deployed medium-range nuclear missiles on the Soviet Union in Italy and Türkiye.
