Chapter 43 Visit
Vladivostok, a bar outside the Pacific Fleet Headquarters.
"Qin, my friend, I'm very happy to see you." Nicholas held the wine glass and looked at Qin Tao in front of him, very happy, but the corner of his eye passed through Qin Tao's body intentionally or unintentionally, leaving To Zhao Ling who was standing behind Qin Tao.
Qin Tao knew what Nicholas was thinking, so he said openly: "My company is getting bigger and bigger, so I hired another female secretary. The original secretary stayed in the country to handle affairs, and she accompanied me Come out and talk business.”
"Qin, you have really good taste. This female secretary has a different style from the previous female secretary, but they are both beautiful and elegant. Your life is colorful." Nicholas said.
Zhao Ling felt a little uncomfortable. What was this guy talking about? There seems to be a special intention in the words.
"Nicholas, my friend, don't stare at my secretary like this. It's very rude. If she gets **** off and hits you on the head with a bottle, I won't be able to help you."
“Haha.” Nicholas laughed: “Yes, it’s a bit rude, come on, let’s drink!”
After a glass of vodka, Nicholas said: "My friend, what good things did you bring this time?"
"There are a lot of good things. First of all, the cargo is three times the amount last time. It can just take away the three scrap iron submarines in your port, free up the dock for you, and add a batch of cars. How about it?" Qin Tao asked.
“Of course it’s no problem, all those junk should have disappeared long ago.” Nicholas said: “Besides these, are there any good things?”
“Of course.” Qin Tao waved to Zhao Ling, so she deftly opened the zipper of her handbag and took out a box of cans.
It comes in a medium-sized glass bottle. Although there is a layer of trademark paper on the outside, you can still see large chunks of yellow pulp inside, which are full to the top of the lid. The yellow juice soaks the pulp and makes people feel... Drooling.
“This is... canned pineapple? Oh, God, hurry up, open it for me!” Nicholas became excited.
Even senior military officials like Nicholas had such an expression when they saw canned pineapples. Zhao Ling was a little curious. Is this thing in short supply here at Lao Maozi?
"Bang!" Qin Tao skillfully unscrewed the lid of the can. At this time, Nicholas took out a fine Swiss multi-function knife, stuck the tip of the knife into it, and picked up a piece of pineapple. , stuff it into your mouth.
He closed his eyes and chewed it carefully. It was sweet and sour. The texture and taste reminded him of the taste when he was a child.
After one piece went into his stomach, he picked up the second piece and continued to put it in his mouth, then the third piece, and the fourth piece.
Even the vodka was no longer attractive. Nicholas ate the entire can of pineapple in one go, then raised his head and drank all the juice into his mouth.
Nicholas burped.
“My friend, it seems you haven’t had something like this for a long time?”
"Yes, I haven't eaten it for more than ten years. Over the years, we have not had canned pineapples in our country." Nicholas said: "The country's precious foreign exchange, even gold, has been used to exchange for wheat. Pork has been It’s rare. As for fruit, it’s pitifully rare. Qin, how many cans of this kind do you have on hand?”
“One million cans.” Qin Tao said.
“One million?” Nicholas’s face was full of joy: “I want all these goods!”
There was no such canned pineapple on the market in the Soviet Union, and it could be eaten on such a huge scale.
"But..." Nicholas frowned: "We don't have anything on hand to exchange with you!"
Last time we used cars and submarines. The remaining three submarines have already agreed to change clothes and other things. Now, what should we use to replace these one million cans?
"We don't mind it, we can use anything." Qin Tao said: "How about we go to the base and have a look?"
You definitely can’t go to the submarine base. There are no old submarines anymore, and I won’t give them advanced nuclear submarines either! Therefore, we can only check it out at the pier in Vladivostok.
“Okay.” Nicholas waved his hand: “Let’s go, I’ll take you around.”
Zhao Ling felt excited.
Zhao Ling wants to come here, of course, because she wants to see the warships here at Lao Maozi and see the anti-aircraft missiles carried on their warships. If possible...
The three of them arrived at the pier of the Pacific Fleet Base in Vladivostok, where warships were moored one after another.
The most eye-catching thing is, of course, that the two aircraft carriers, the huge Minsk and Novorossiysk, have not gone to sea and are docked on both sides of the same pier. The two aircraft carriers have the tallest islands. The naval flag is flying fiercely in the wind.
“Ouch.” Zhao Ling suddenly shouted and fell forward. Qin Tao caught her: “Be careful, watch your step!”
Zhao Ling's face was slightly red. Just now, she was only looking at the two tall aircraft carriers and didn't pay attention to her steps. She stepped on a cable pile. If she hadn't been pulled by Qin Tao, she would have fallen...
“Let go.” Zhao Ling’s face was slightly angry.
"good."
Qin Tao naturally retracted his hand.
“That warship looks great!” Qin Tao pointed at a huge warship.
In the entire military port, apart from the aircraft carrier, the warship is the largest. Its front deck looked empty, but that was because all the weapons had been retracted below the deck.
"That's our Frunze." Nicholas said, "You can go up and have a look. If you want to drive it back and dismantle it, then I should go to court-martial."
The Frunze is an invincible presence in the Pacific Fleet second only to aircraft carriers. It has a displacement of more than 20,000 tons and is a Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser. It carries hundreds of missiles and is simply the arsenal ship that Americans most yearn for.
Qin Tao shook his head: "Forget it, it's not convenient for us to appear there. If possible, how about we step on the Type 956 destroyer here and have a look?"
There is no need to think about the Kirov-class or the Glory-class. Don’t be greedy for things you can’t get your hands on. It’s better to look at the things you can get.
The Type 956, also known as the Modern-class destroyer, is the warship that the motherland navy can obtain.
“Okay, I’ll take you to the Steadfast for a visit.” Nicholas said.
