The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 813

Chapter 813 Passing through the strait!

When the news of Ankara's request for a direct meeting reached the capital, most people did not even react immediately.

Including Chang Haonan.

　　Although it was his idea to use the name of Greece to create cards in the void, when making plans, he could only use it as one of the bargaining chips in negotiations.

Whoever dares to do so will be immediately killed.

About half a minute after the staff introduced the situation, someone in the originally tense venue finally couldn't hold it back and let out a burst of mocking, helpless laughter.

Immediately afterwards, the others were also inspired, and they all lowered their heads and covered their mouths to snicker.

The entire conference room was finally filled with a happy atmosphere.

"well…"

The leader of the delegation sighed, then leaned his upper body on the back of the chair and shook his head.

Although he didn't laugh out loud like the others, the corners of his mouth that couldn't be suppressed clearly showed that he was in a very good mood:

“Originally we thought we were going to gnaw on a hard bone, but...as soon as we moved our mouths, we found that it was a brittle bone...”

With this slightly joking remark setting the tone, other people's speeches naturally became less restrained.

“Yeah, not to mention the past two days, even the past two hours, when I first heard the four requests from the other party, I felt that they were coming very menacingly and were quite difficult to deal with.”

Shen Shengguang, who thought he was going to play the leading role, but found out that he was just playing the leading role, swept away his depressed mood at this time, raised the notebook in front of him with a smile and said:

“Look, I'm still analyzing it seriously.”

One sentence attracted everyone's attention, and they found that the two pages of the book were covered with dense writing.

"I just thought that these four items of the Turks looked chaotic, but in fact they are intertwined with each other. The first one requires us to have a large deposit. In addition to being an interest-free loan, it can also give the fourth The article requires us to participate in joint research and development as a guarantee. If we find that there is no progress in the project after five years, we can continue to struggle with the refund issue..."

It should be said that Shen Shengguang's explanation does make sense.

If this agreement is really signed according to the conditions proposed by the Turks, then even for the sake of the 2 billion, the Aerodynamics Group will not be able to overdo it and come up with something real.

It's just that my opponent probably didn't think about it at all and just performed a wave of sit-ups—

At first I felt that I was good at it, and after a while, I realized that I didn't seem to be very good at it. In the end, I didn't even struggle and just lay back down.

It would be better not to have any support in the first place.

This kind of sliding and kneeling speed makes the performance even more clownish.

Chang Haonan couldn't help but think of a famous quote from a classic TV series he had watched in his previous life, so he spoke almost subconsciously:

“Being arrogant at the front and respectful at the back makes you laugh when you think about it…”

This original soliloquy was heard by Ding Gaoheng next to him.

“Heh, this term is very suitable to describe the opponent's performance...”

The latter commented immediately.

Although arrogant and respectful are also used to describe people, in the current environment, it is simply perfect.

“Besides, I didn't realize it before, Xiao Chang, do you know something about literature?”

Chang Haonan could not explain that this line came from a TV series released a few years later, so he had to wave his hand:

“The words are just on the tip of my tongue, I think they are spoken from my thoughts…”

However, the joyful atmosphere did not last long.

After all, although the Turks have shown their intention to kneel down, the Varyag has not actually passed through the Bosporus, so it cannot open the champagne in advance.

According to the delegation leader's intention, since the interview is being prepared, the next step is to determine the meeting place and negotiators.

But at this time, some people put forward different opinions.

“I think there is no need to agree to the Turks' request right away.”

As the leader responsible for foreign economic and trade cooperation, Shen Shengguang is relatively professional in negotiating and understanding the psychology of foreigners.

In his opinion, since it has been discovered that the opponent's pressure resistance level is far less than expected, then the opponent should not be given breathing room—

Oh, you said before that you didn't want to meet in person to talk, and we agreed.

Now you find that the situation is not right and want to suddenly change your mind?

How can there be such a good thing?

“Changing the negotiation method itself is also a matter that can be traded. If you want to have a face-to-face meeting, then offer conditions in exchange.”

Shen Shengguang cleared his throat and expressed his thoughts.

“But Comrade Sheng Guang.”

Some people soon expressed concerns:

“After all, we came up with the Greece card as a bluff. If we really delay it for too long, what if the other party discovers the problem..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Shengguang waved his hand:

“I'm just saying that I can't agree to the interview immediately, but I'm not saying that I won't talk.”

"Budapest doesn't need to drag it out any longer. It adjourns the meeting directly and asks Comrade Yi Kuangyao stationed in Ankara to convey our conditions directly to them and tell them that is our bottom line for negotiations. If they don't agree, then we can't guarantee the Aegean Sea. Arms balance in the region!”

“As for the Varyag, the worst case scenario is that it will go back to the Black Sea Shipyard first. It won't be too late for us to talk about it after they replace the next leader in two years!”

Shen Shengguang said and knocked on the table in front of him.

Negotiation is essentially similar to playing cards.

The comparison is not just about the size of the cards.

Unless your starting hand is an invincible card like a Royal Flush, you can naturally defeat ten with one effort.

But in most cases, you still have to play psychology.

Just like now.

The Chinese side is indeed just bluffing.

However, the other party exposed its internal instability and its weakness of being unable to withstand any turmoil of public opinion.

It is equivalent to showing one's trump card.

It means that the Greeks cannot afford to obtain advanced equipment that can reverse the situation.

Of course, the situation in China is actually similar.

Varyag must be allowed to return home smoothly no matter what.

But the Turks didn't know about this latter matter.

In this case where individual information is transparent, negotiation is basically a unilateral devastation.

So, there is no need to be too timid.

The leader of the delegation thought for a while, then raised his head again:

"Then, let's follow Comrade Shen Shengguang's opinion and first determine the content of this 'ultimatum'!"

One day later. Zhu Yuzhou, who had been circling the high seas outside the entrance to the Bosporus for more than ten hours, looked worriedly at the Chamilika Mountains that were vaguely visible in the distance.

He had barely slept since he received the call asking him to slow down as much as possible.

The big ship behind him is of great significance to him, Luchuang Group, and even China as a whole. Every day he is delayed on the road, the risk of long nights and dreams increases.

˜ It has been less than a week since the ship set sail, and the number of sightings of small boats and helicopters within visual distance of the fleet has already exceeded double digits.

In one of the most dangerous times, a helicopter even tried to forcefully land on the deck of the Varyag.

Fortunately, he saw the opponent's intention in advance and ordered the steering evasion in time, so that he could not succeed.

But only a thousand days to commit a thief, not a thousand days to guard against a thief.

If we continue to go around in circles like this, it will be a matter of time before someone finds a loophole and boards the ship, or even destroys the traction rope.

Of course Zhu Yuzhou also knows that at this moment, the country is expected to be engaged in fierce negotiations with Turkey.

But at least in his view, the results are hardly optimistic.

The Mediterranean is still too far after all.

“Mr. Captain.”

Zhu Yuzhou, who was really unable to bear it, turned around and said to the big-haired captain who was only wearing a vest:

“I'm going to take a rest. If you notice anything unusual nearby, be sure to wake me up.”

“Okay, Zhu, go ahead and leave this to me.”

The latter's mentality is quite good. After all, the overseas subsidy is calculated on a daily basis. Even if he keeps wandering around the Black Sea, it will not affect his income.

Zhu Yuzhou nodded, and just as he was about to turn around and walk down the deck ladder, he heard the maritime satellite phone next to him suddenly ringing.

His whole body was shaken, his sleepiness disappeared almost instantly, and he rushed over at a speed that the captain next to him could barely see his figure.

“This is Nikolai Chikel, please speak.”

There was heavy breathing on the other side of the receiver.

After a few seconds, the voice of old friend Ye Junqi came out.

“The strait management agency has withdrawn the order prohibiting passage.”

A brief sentence made Zhu Yuzhou's tense nerves suddenly relax.

He suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Fortunately, I grabbed the handle next to me in time:

“Then…that means we can get through?”

“Yes, but there are still some technical requirements. A traffic boat will board the ship in a while and explain the situation to you in detail…”

In order to prevent his sit-ups from becoming a clown act, Hijikata put forward many technical details.

For example, the braking tug is required to have a horsepower of not less than 16,000 horsepower. It also requires two additional auxiliary tugs at the bow, amidships, and stern, as well as three additional pushers to prevent collisions with cross-sea bridges or coastal buildings. ships, bringing the size of the entire fleet to 12 ships.

In addition, during navigation, visibility is required to be no less than 5 kilometers, water flow no more than three knots, and wind strength no more than level five.

In fact, from the perspective of navigation safety, this is quite an overkill.

The Bosphorus is 708 meters at its narrowest point and 27.5 meters at its shallowest point, which is more than enough for the Varyag, which has not yet been outfitted.

Furthermore, the tugboat fleet hired by China is composed of veteran crew members who have been working near the strait all year round. In fact, there is no need for such an exaggerated momentum.

However, China can also understand Ankara's thinking -

Having stopped the Varyag is already an open matter to the whole world.

Now the purpose of extorting a sum of money has not been achieved.

Then you have to give an explanation to the outside world and explain why you have been jumping up and down for so many days.

I can't admit that I wanted to make a fortune, but was killed.

That's too embarrassing.

So I can only focus on technical details, showing a posture of "I am so rigorous because of the safety of international waterways."

So, for these purely technical requirements, Huaxia directly accepted them all.

It won't cost much anyway.

But the parts other than technology are completely different.

The first one, that must be completely abandoned without a doubt.

Of course, as the five great virtuous people, it does not mean that we are completely unreasonable.

Huaxia promised that if any damage is caused to the strait and shore facilities during navigation, it will pay corresponding compensation from a huge special insurance.

　　However, the guarantor was changed from a Turkish bank to a domestic insurance company in China.

By the way, it will become the single largest business of China Insurance Industry in the next many years.

The second and third articles have a different expression.

That is to say, based on the previous agreement reached with the EU, the two sides will open markets and investments to each other based on the treatment of WTO member countries.

As for the tourism industry, Comrade Yi Kuangyao spent a lot of words to get Ankara to accept the reality that Turkey actually has little reputation in China.

In order to improve this situation, he suggested in good faith that we could consider opening up the visfree or vison-arrival policy between the two countries...

As for Article 4, because it involves the defense issues of a NATO country, it is indeed somewhat sensitive, so it was eventually replaced with a completely pragmatic statement.

“Both sides will be committed to enhancing strategic mutual trust between the two militaries, improving their ability to respond to non-traditional security threats, and gradually deepening military exchanges under the guidance of the principles of mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win-win cooperation…”

In short, this "Black SeMediterranean Crisis" ended quickly, leaving many countries dumbfounded.

ˆAlthough some major powers outside the region have once again emphasized the "risks" and "threats" that an unpowered ship may pose through the strait, it is clear that nothing can be done without advance preparation.

Three days later, under the witness of tens of thousands of onlookers at both ends of the Bosporus Bridge, the Varyag, surrounded by more than a dozen auxiliary ships, slowly passed through the narrowest part of the strait and entered the Mediterranean Sea smoothly.

Even vehicle traffic on the bridge was not affected.

At 12 o'clock at noon, the leader of the ship, Nikolay Chikel, blew its whistle to pay tribute to the Bosporus, the Black Sea, and the Nikolayev Shipyard.

This giant ship that spanned two eras finally broke free from the constraints of geography for the first time 11 years after it was launched and headed towards the vast ocean.

At the end of this voyage, it will inherit its mission at the beginning of its construction and become another iconic force of the Red Navy...
