Chapter 655: Triangle Is the Most Stable! (Fourth Update! Additional Update with Monthly Tickets!)

The chef is on holiday, just a few simple words, directly shattered Mikhail's dream.

He is the Minister of Industry of Russia, a person who is second to none, but Russia's natural geographical conditions make Russia's products, especially food, far less abundant than China.

After all, this is a country with a serious Engel coefficient.

When he knew that China's Engel coefficient exceeded the standard, he still sneered and thought that this country was extremely backward, even worse than the third-tier countries in Africa.

However, when he learned about it in detail, he could only say that Engel was nothing.

Two slices of bread a day, plus a pickled cucumber, and half a small piece of butter, don't know how to eat.

So, he was very happy to come to China on a business trip.

Because the food here is funded by the Russian diplomatic department, and with the same cost, the food and drinks that can be enjoyed here are far more than Russia.

However, the time is a little unfortunate.

It's the New Year!

The most important festival for Chinese people, on this festival, they will travel thousands of kilometers to return home, meet their families at home, and have a reunion dinner.

This is a very beautiful festival, a very, very beautiful festival!

But all this is not so beautiful for these foreigners in China.

Because the vegetable market will be closed!

Because the chef will be on holiday!

During this period, the Chinese will be completely shut down!

When Mikhail thought of these difficult days, his knees softened and he knelt directly on the ground, holding his head with both hands, and shouted to the sky: "No!"

Seeing him like this, his colleagues in the embassy couldn't help but say:

"That... the Chinese embassy will arrange meals, and they have their own chefs."

"Oh... so that's it!" Mikhail stood up instantly, patted his pants calmly, and looked calm, as if the person who was kneeling on the ground crying just now was not himself.

After the calmness, he repeatedly told his colleagues in the embassy to remind himself at meal time, and to tell himself in advance so that he could be prepared.

The bored embassy staff could only sigh silently, and persuaded the gentleman to leave after much persuasion.

After sending the gentleman away, the embassy staff returned to their jobs, busy contacting Russia's border management and coordinating transportation routes.

He was panicked.

Because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, if there was a slight mistake, a lot of time would be wasted.

At the same time, Kazan, the capital of the Russian Tatar Republic.

This is a city located in the heart of Eurasia, the headquarters of Russia, at the confluence of the Volga River and the Kazan River.

It has a temperate continental climate, and the warm current from the North Atlantic finally stopped in this area, leaving its last warmth to this land.

Relying on the mineral resources in the surrounding areas and the unique logistics of the Volga River, it developed into an important administrative, trade, industrial and cultural center in the 18th century.

During the Soviet period, Kazan became an important supply business and cultural center east of Moscow.

On May 27, 1920, the Tatar Autonomous Republic was established and Kazan became its capital.

During the Second World War, the Soviet Union's industry migrated, and Kazan became a defense industry center, producing a large number of aircraft and tanks. Since then, Kazan has officially become a Soviet chemical, machinery manufacturing, and military stronghold.

This situation has continued to Russia today.

With the blessing of modernization, this city is still taking off and still passionate.

At this moment, outside the archives of the Kazan Aircraft Factory.

Andreevich, the archive manager, took the documents from the person in front of him with both hands, as well as the certificates in the other party's hands, checked them according to the general process, and registered the certificates and documents in the visit book.

After pressing a thumbprint and asking the person in front of him to press a thumbprint, he nodded with satisfaction, locked the visit book back into the drawer, and then grabbed a key from the drawer, shook his head, and walked straight into the depths of the corridor.

The windows in the corridor are far apart, and the holes are very small, so the whole corridor looks empty and gloomy.

The lights above the head crackled from time to time because of poor line contact, flickered twice, and then stubbornly lit up again.

A group of people walked in the corridor for a long time and finally stopped in front of a big iron door.

Above the iron door, there was also the number of this room.

43.

An ordinary number, without any markings or marks.

The administrator inserted the key into the big lock on the door and twisted it gently, and the big lock opened.

With the sound of the door opening that made people's teeth ache, a huge black hole appeared in front of everyone.

The door opened, the air began to circulate, and a stale smell of books came from the room, like a slap, slapping the faces of the people at the door.

When the stale smell dissipated slightly, the archive room administrator walked into the room, fumbled on the right side of the door, and a crisp click sounded, and the room began to restore power.

The bright yellow light gradually lit up, and the scene in the archive room was presented to everyone.

The room was very dry, with a thin layer of dust on the floor. Apart from that, there were countless bookshelves.

Those bookshelves were very large, three or four meters high.

Each bookshelf had a number, and the bookshelves were filled with various drawings and books.

A lot, a lot!

After a quick glance, the people standing at the door were stunned.

When they thought of the task they had accepted, their heads exploded in an instant.

Let these few people move all these drawings away?

What a joke!

Looking at their stunned expressions, a smile quietly appeared on the old face of the archive manager.

The Tu-160 strategic bomber project started in 1967, and was officially launched in 1971. It took off in 1988 and has been in use until now.

All the drawings were drawn by senior drafting engineers under the light, using rulers and special drawing pencils.

Under normal dry natural conditions, paper documents can be preserved for about 50 years.

But...

The people who developed and manufactured the Tu-160 were the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union collapsed. Although Russia inherited most of the legacy, it was a period of chaos after all.

During this period, this huge underground archive has been unmanaged. There is only a huge lock that locks a door, and this door separates the archive room and the world outside the archive room.

Later, when the political situation in Russia stabilized, the projects related to Figure 160 were taken out again.

If there was no task, no one wanted to look through the drawings.

There are too many of these things!

So many that people want to explode and commit suicide on the spot!

The document just now recorded the tasks of these people. Looking at their number, the administrator just wanted to laugh.

Damn, in order to move these drawings, people almost died.

You only sent a few people here?

What a joke!

Just as he shook his head in disdain, the man next to him came over quietly, swallowed his saliva quietly, raised his hand and pointed at the drawings, and whispered: "Are these all drawings of Figure 160?"

Faced with this person's careful inquiry, the administrator nodded, then shook his head, and then pointed to the warehouse No. 44 next to him: "There is only half here, and the warehouse next door must be added."

"But if you just take the drawings, there is no need to take those books, and the same goes for those research experiences."

Hearing that they didn't need to take the books, a group of people breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after carefully checking the number of drawings, a group of people still couldn't help but feel weak in the knees.

Too many!

After trembling for a long time, a group of people still took steps, walked into the archives, and began to move the materials.

They were busy from the morning until the afternoon, but only less than 10% of the materials were moved.

After all, this is not collecting garbage, but moving research materials. These research materials need to be sorted and organized, and then handed over to others in full.

It's... very tiring.

On the other side, 800 kilometers west of Kazan, the Moscow Kremlin.

The Kazan Airport began to move the materials, and the relevant news was sent to the Kremlin.

President Vladimir looked at the news and didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.

Or, should he give up on himself.

After a long time, he put down the intelligence in his hand and looked up at the person in front of him.

And in front of him was Russian Defense Minister Yurikin.

The position of Defense Minister is not mainly focused on commanding operations on the front line, but on logistics supply and maintenance.

In modern wars, the comprehensive national strength of a country is fought, and the logistics of a country is fought. Whoever has stronger logistics and whoever can maintain logistics longer will naturally win a war.

However, in today's Russia, people outside think that Russia is very strong, but only those who really understand the inside story know that Russia...

is relying on its parents.

Although the Soviet Union is dead, dead, Russia is relying on its parents.

Vladimir still remembers what he said to the Russian people when he was elected president five years ago.

They gave him trust and time, and he gave everyone a strong Russia.

But four years have passed, and he only feels that time flies, and he has not done anything well, and four years have passed.

That time feels like sand in the hand, and there is nothing left with a light pinch.

Of course, if the whole world is the same, there is no comparison, then he will not be so panicked.

But this world is so unsatisfactory...

China next door has quietly emerged in these years, and then began to make rapid progress in the past two years.

They even started from scratch, and in just two or three years, they directly developed hypersonic missiles, satellite navigation systems, and large 10,000-ton missile destroyers.

Moreover, the super-large ship did not even need complicated sea trials, and it was directly driven to the Pacific Ocean and met with the American fleet.

This is incredible!

The sudden appearance of this ship directly shattered his pride in Russian industry.

You know, even the ships manufactured by Russian shipyards need to be repeatedly tested, corrected, retested, and corrected in the near sea.

It takes at least one year for a ship to be delivered from the factory to the official delivery after repeating this for more than a dozen times.

And these people skipped this year directly.

As the president, he is not a fool.

Huaxia dared to do this, which means that they have mastered the relevant technologies, related parts and processes very skillfully, and they can do 100% without mistakes. Only in this way can they dare to go directly to the Pacific Ocean for long-distance testing after the ship was launched.

If there was even a slight problem, the ship would have grounded in the Pacific Ocean and a serious accident would have occurred.

He didn't want to admit it, but there was no other way.

This was the only explanation.

Of course, there is also an additional explanation, that is, China has a god, and this god helped China build a ship in his own way.

Thinking of this possibility, Vladimir couldn't help but sneer, which was a silly laugh at the idea that popped up in his mind.

Vladimir, Vladimir, you are really whimsical.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Vladimir locked his eyes with Yurikin again and asked softly:

"The Kazan Airport is loading the blueprints, and Mikhail is also staying in China, preparing to have further exchanges with them."

"When those equipment and blueprints are shipped over, I have only one request for you, that is, within one year, no later than January 1, 2006, I want to see the Russian news release."

"Release our hypersonic missiles."

"As the Minister of Defense, you must do a good job in the manufacture of hypersonic missiles, as well as subsequent research and development, and subsequent production and distribution."

"Finally, our ships! Our planes!"

"We must have all these things, even if we can't keep up with America, we can't let China surpass us, do you understand?"

Faced with Vladimir's instructions, Yurikin touched his nose slightly embarrassedly.

He understood the thoughts of his own president.

Everyone has come from the Soviet era, and everyone has seen the development of China.

If you can't catch up with America, at least you can't let China next door surpass you.

If it exceeds, it will be too boring.

Putting down the hand that was touching his nose, Yurikin nodded heavily to show that he understood.

His action was very relaxed, but he was the only one who knew the difficulties and obstacles in it.

Looking at the time on the wall, he was about to leave, and Vladimir said again:

"Yurikin, think of a way to leak the news of this cooperation."

"Remember, mix some messy things in it to slightly hinder the vision, but don't let others forget it completely."

"Especially let America know about this."

Going through the instructions of his own president in his mind, Yurikin frowned into a straight line. He knew his own president's thoughts very well.

From the perspective of Russia, he felt that there was nothing wrong with doing this.

But from the perspective of a person, a friend, he felt that there was a little problem.

After a brief pause, he asked back: "This... is not good."

Just after he finished speaking, he saw Vladimir gently waving his right hand: "It's not bad, this kind of news will be released sooner or later."

"Taking the initiative to release it can also gain some advantages."

"Originally, the Soviet Union and America were competing for hegemony. The Soviet Union is gone, and it has become one superpower and many powers."

"Originally, I thought that among the five great good people, only our Russia and America were absolutely strong, and the remaining England, France, and China were just making up the numbers."

"But now, only France and England are making up the numbers, and we are half of the numbers."

"The people who are really qualified are China and America."

"For the long-term interests, we, Russia, China, and America must form a triangle."

"The triangle complements each other, otherwise, the world will be over sooner or later."

"And I guess America has already received the news."
