Piaotian Literature At present, there are 12 active generals in the Russian army, including 8 from the Ministry of Defense, who are the First Deputy Minister of Defense and the Armed Forces
Chief of the General Staff, Deputy Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Deputy Minister of Defense and Minister of Logistics of the Armed Forces, Deputy Chief of the General Staff and Director of the General Directorate of Military Intelligence, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Commander of the Leningrad Military District, Commander of the Far Eastern Military District, CIS
Chief of Staff, Military Cooperation Coordination Staff Department.
There are four generals in Russia's other powerful departments, namely the director of the Federal Security Service, the minister of emergencies, the deputy minister of the interior and commander-in-chief of the internal security forces, and the director of the Federal Service for Special Construction.
During the Cold War, although Soviet law stipulated that commanders of important military regions could be awarded the rank of general, the Soviet army never implemented this provision. The highest military rank for the commanders of the Far East Military Region and Leningrad Military Region was only general.
Ye Kai noticed that General Chubiev who walked in had four gold stars on his shoulders.
It seems that after the Russian occupation, some of the original Soviet military rank symbols were changed.
Originally, the Soviet Union once changed the pattern of the rank of general to a large star, which is similar to the pattern layout of the marshal's epaulettes and similar to the pattern layout of the marshal's epaulettes of the military services, and the general also wears the marshal star, so some people think that the general should also belong to the marshal-level military rank of the Soviet Union.
.
Different from the custom of Western countries to award scepters to those who are awarded the rank of marshal, the Soviet Union awards the "Marshal Star" badge to those who are awarded the rank of marshal.
This kind of "Marshal's Star" is a concentric five-pointed star badge with a gold exterior and platinum interior, inlaid with diamonds, and hung around the neck with a silk ribbon. Among them, the diameter of the "Marshal's Star" for the Marshal of the Soviet Union and the Marshal of the Soviet Navy is slightly larger than that awarded to the military.
Marshal star badges for commanders, marshals and generals of the combined army, and the colors of the ribbons are used to distinguish the military branches.
Since most of the old photos were in black and white and the resolution was not high, it was sometimes easy to mistake Soviet generals for Soviet marshals.
But now, after the Russian Revolution, the military ranks were changed back. So when Ye Kai looked over, he could see clearly that he had four gold stars on his shoulders, which was very eye-catching. He was a general at first glance.
Ye Kai stood up. A certain amount of respect should still be shown for this former Soviet general, now Russian general, General Chubiyev, deputy chief of general staff and director of the General Bureau of Military Intelligence.
Although this old man did not catch up with the Great Patriotic War, he was still one of the few military officials in the former Soviet Union.
It was obvious that Comrade General was very concerned about Ye Kai's arrival. As soon as he saw him, he stretched out his right hand and walked over with a smile, held Ye Kai's hand, shook it vigorously, and then said, "I hope to see you soon."
You are here, please sit down and talk."
After Ye Kai heard this, he suddenly felt a little confused. How come this former Soviet general actually knows a lot about Beijing movies and can speak fluently? Isn't he an extra hired by Major Bute?
Seeing the confusion on Ye Kai's face, Major Butt explained, "Comrade General Chubiyev is a Chinese language expert and a well-known China expert in the Soviet military system. He once participated in your country's project assistance and construction in China.
Stayed for more than five years."
"Oh, it turns out he is an old friend of the Chinese people. Sorry, sorry." Ye Kai heard this and glanced at Zhang San. Seeing him nodding slightly, he suddenly said, "So, this is our second time."
Cooperated.”
General Chubiev said with a smile, "Cooperation is better than confrontation. Peace is the eternal theme, and war is just a means to pursue peace."
Ye Kaixin said that this general can really talk. It seems that no one who can get into such a position, no matter they are Chinese or foreigners, can save fuel.
So he continued what Chubiyev said, "Comrade General is right, war is just a means to pursue peace, and weapons are tools for us to pursue peace."
"That's right." General Chubiyev originally had a feeling of dealing with Ye Kai. After hearing what he said, his eyes lit up and he looked at him carefully before nodding and saying, "Welcome.
Mr. Ye came to Russia, and I think we can have a detailed talk about maintaining world peace."
"It's a great honor." Ye Kai nodded in agreement.
Zhang San listened to their conversation on the side, with a face as suffocated as pig liver. Obviously he did not expect that two big figures, one Chinese and one foreign, one old and one young, one military and one civilian, would be so shameless.
Linking the arms trafficking business with the topic of maintaining world peace, and showing an awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring expression that all the responsibility for the world lies with me, really made him speechless to the point where he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
Now that the two sides have tested each other, Ye Kai is not polite, "I heard that your army has some scrap metal that has been eliminated. We want to buy it and transport it back to make some sickles and hammers. I don't know if Comrade General is willing to give this face."
?”
"As long as it does not harm Russia's national security, Mr. Ye's reason is completely acceptable to us," General Chubiyev said.
"If these metals are relatively complete as a whole, it will be more convenient for our long-distance transportation, and I think the cost of sea transportation will be much lower." Ye Kai further made a request.
General Chubiyev frowned, "Although the overall transportation is cheap, it is also very difficult. The sea route has been very unstable recently. You may not be able to transport the goods out so easily."
"In terms of transportation, that is our business. Your army only needs to transport the goods a hundred nautical miles away before they can be handed over to our people." Ye Kai further expressed.
"Although this matter is feasible to a certain extent, I still need to think about it carefully." General Chubiev touched his chin and said to Ye Kai.
"A complete one is worth one million US dollars, and a disassembled one is worth US$500,000. Cash transactions are also possible, and deposits into designated accounts are also acceptable." Ye Kai didn't give Chubiyev much time to think about it, and just voted directly.
own price tag.
After General Chubiev heard this, his heart twitched involuntarily.
At present, the Navy has applied for scrapping of six pieces, and six have been dismantled. If calculated according to Ye Kai’s price, this is about 10 million US dollars in revenue, which will basically be sent to his personal pocket. General Chubiyev
Of course it will be more tempting.
Ten million U.S. dollars in 1992 was quite valuable, enough for the gradually losing power general to spend his old age peacefully.
Of course, General Chubiev was not easy to get rid of. He immediately doubled the price, "Twenty million US dollars, deposited in a designated overseas account."
"The price is a bit high, beyond my expectations." Ye Kai frowned and said, "Although it is important to maintain world peace, I cannot let myself go bankrupt. The maximum is 12 million."
"Eighteen million, no need to talk. If you want to maintain world peace, you have to show some sincerity. Otherwise, how can I trust you?" General Chubiyev waved his hand.
Although the old man is almost sixty, he still has a great bearing and every move is full of strength and confidence. He does not look like a fallen former Soviet general at all.
"Fourteen million, no more." Ye Kai continued to bargain.
"Sixteen million, no more." General Chubiyev's attitude was very resolute, and he seemed to be leaving if he couldn't reach an agreement.
"Fifteen million, if you don't sell it, you'll lose it." Ye Kai also expressed, "The worst case scenario is that if you don't buy it, international peace has nothing to do with me?"
"Okay, for the sake of international peace!" General Chubiev finally agreed with a pained look on his face.
Now that the business was settled, Ye Kai began to talk about personal relationships with the old man, and generously gave the old man one million US dollars in cash as a meeting gift.
"Haha, Mr. Ye is indeed a cheerful person. He is worthy of being the grandson of Mr. Ye, so heroic!" General Chubiyev saw the colorful dollar bills, and his mood suddenly became extremely cheerful.
At the same time, the old man's perception of Ye Kai has also changed a lot. He is a young man who can do great things. Spending thousands of dollars is not enough to describe his heroism. He spends millions of dollars!
"I'm a little worried about security issues in Russia." Ye Kai raised this issue.
"Don't worry about this. We take care of all the equipment operation training. I will find you a few experts who are proficient in Chinese to teach you the operation techniques. I can even let them follow the ship. After the goods are delivered to you, we will
Let them come back." General Chubiev was in a good mood and said immediately.
In fact, life in Russia is very difficult now, and the experts have no food left at home. If they are sent on official business trips, they will probably be very happy. It can save money for the military and make some extra money. Why not
for?
It is estimated that once this news gets out, many people will rush to do this job.
"It's best to bring in a few more experts, both practical and theoretical, so that if something goes wrong, it's easier to deal with it. After all, these are old ships, and their reviews aren't very high," Ye Kai said.
"Hehe..." General Chubiyev touched his nose and did not answer.
In fact, the Komsomolskaya class nuclear submarine does not have a good reputation. Not long after it set sail, it collided with the opponent's submarine, and both sank into the depths of the sea and could not even be salvaged. Such a new submarine will of course be used by the military.
Fang thought it was a movable coffin in the ocean, so this model was very unpopular. In fact, these nuclear submarines that were retired early had not been used for long at all and were basically stored in warehouses.
In any case, Chubiyev is relatively easy to get rid of, or it may have something to do with his bad situation. It is said that President Yeltsin intends to replace him and let him retire early and go home to retire.
Since this position cannot be saved, Comrade General naturally has to find a way out for his future. It is always right to save more US dollars. Comrade General really does not have much confidence in the ruble that has more than doubled in value.
In the name of maintaining international peace, the first cooperation between General Chubiev and Ye Kai was finally achieved.
