#292 - Chapter 292 The Legion is Completed! Top Secret Varyag? An Aircraft Carrier Beyond North Amer

Chen Hao stood before Wang Wei.

Seeing him again, he couldn't help but recall the tragic words from the previous life.

'I can no longer return, you continue forward!'

'Repeat, you continue forward!'

He was a hero.

And the reason for the hero's death…

Was the shame of the entire Chinese nation!

Having lived a second life, Chen Hao would never allow shame to befall China again.

Academician Huang's words were also what he had in mind: 'My greatest wish is to prostrate myself on the ground and wipe away the shame from my motherland!'

"The mission was completed excellently."

Chen Hao looked at Wang Wei with a smile.

"Thank you for the General's praise!"

"What reward do you want?"

Reward?

Wang Wei was stunned, and immediately said sternly: "Report! As a soldier, this is my mission! From a personal perspective, this mission… was extremely satisfying! I should thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

He was happy to carry out this kind of mission without any reward.

Awesome!

It was like playing a game for many years and never being able to defeat the ultimate BOSS.

But now he could easily crush it.

"The squadron he belongs to has won a collective special-class merit!"

"Comrade Wang Wei himself has been awarded a special-class merit!"

"In addition, he is awarded the Second-Class August 1st Medal!"

What?!

Wang Wei was instantly dumbfounded.

Raising a rank wasn't much, and even a special-class merit wasn't much.

Only because.

Compared to the August 1st Medal, everything else paled in comparison.

This was the highest honor for a soldier!

In peacetime, obtaining the August 1st Medal was almost impossible!

Chen Hao took out a brocade box.

Opened it.

Special-class merit medal!

Second-Class August 1st Medal!

Wang Wei raised his hand in a salute, his tiger eyes were wet with tears, completely red.

This life, was worth it!

"Comrade Wang Wei!"

Chen Hao's expression turned serious.

"Present!"

"In view of the confidential nature of this mission, only the rank promotion will be announced. Before the mission is officially declassified, I will award you the medal privately—the medal will be kept by the higher-ups and will only be given to you after declassification."

"Yes!"

He knew the top-secret nature of the mission.

Modifying the paint scheme.

Taking off from North Korea.

He even had to learn a few words of Korean.

All the details showed that this was a black pot operation that must not be leaked!

……

The secret awarding ceremony ended.

After Wang Wei left, General Wang walked in.

"You called me over, not just for the awarding ceremony, right?"

Chen Hao asked with a smile.

In the past, General Wang would go to Shanghai unless absolutely necessary.

He knew Chen Hao was busy.

It didn't matter where the awarding ceremony was held.

He could have brought Wang Wei to Shanghai.

"That team has assembled."

General Wang said in a low voice.

"The equipment is ready?"

Chen Hao was overjoyed.

Before the new year.

The individual soldier equipment development was completed.

Chen Hao proposed letting the researchers go home for the New Year, but subsequent production required the guidance of these researchers.

Therefore, it could only be officially put into production after the New Year.

It hasn't even been a month!

"Working overtime, it was completed ahead of schedule."

General Wang nodded, then smiled wryly: "It's just… it's really expensive!"

He came from the army.

How much does ordinary individual soldier equipment cost in the army?

What about this time?

One was heaven and the other was earth!

The weapon performance was much better, but the cost could also scare people to death.

Not to mention the weapons, the cost of ammunition alone was many times different.

"How much did it cost?"

Chen Hao asked with a smile.

"This number."

General Wang held out three fingers.

"30 billion?"

Chen Hao asked.

"No…"

General Wang widened his eyes and looked at him as if seeing a ghost: "General Chen, do you think 3 billion is a small amount? The problem is, the personnel armed with this 3 billion is less than 10,000 people!"

What concept was this?

An average cost of 400,000 per person!

Now it was 2001.

The national military expenditure was only 120 billion a year.

It should be known that this money was divided among the army, navy, and air force, including the soldiers' food, clothing, housing, and transportation, including wages, training, and weapon maintenance.

The money for purchasing new weapons accounted for a very small proportion.

The cost of equipping an army soldier was 400,000?

It was simply a joke!

"It's okay, I'll reimburse it."

Chen Hao said with a smile.

"No…"

"Let's go!"

Chen Hao was a little excited: "Let's go see them first, and then reimburse them all together later, and also the donation from the Dark Child I promised you last time!"

The corps was finally built.

The plan, could be launched!

"Wait!"

General Wang grabbed him: "It's so late, how can we see them? Wait until tomorrow…"

"Then I'll reimburse you first."

Chen Hao took out his cell phone.

Preparing to call Xia Qingyan and ask her to transfer the money.

Shorting Microsoft.

Earning hundreds of billions!

Reimbursing this little money was insignificant.

"Don't worry, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"There's a top secret…"

Just after saying a few words, he changed the subject: "The military commissioned a patriotic businessman to purchase a decommissioned aircraft carrier under the guise of building a luxury gambling ship…"

Chen Hao couldn't help but laugh secretly.

This matter?

He knew more clearly than General Wang.

It's just that this was top secret, and he couldn't say he knew, so he could only listen quietly.

"The situation is, it's stuck in Turkey, they won't allow us to pass through!"

Speaking of this.

General Wang was so angry: "Those guys are asking for a high price, extorting 1 billion US dollars in tolls!"

How much did it cost to buy the Varyag?

20 million US dollars.

It cost 1 billion US dollars to pass through a strait?

It was simply hateful!

"What do you mean?"

Chen Hao was puzzled.

Asking himself to donate the toll?

General Wang was very angry: "Don't say the country isn't rich, even if it's richer… we can't pay this exorbitant price!"

"If I'm not mistaken, North America is instigating it again."

Chen Hao curled his lips.

"Definitely!"

General Wang nodded: "This patriotic businessman bought the Varyag aircraft carrier under the guise of transforming it into a luxury gambling ship. But this matter, will be concealed from North America sooner or later, they will definitely realize that we want to rebuild it!"

With North America's nature, playing tricks and tripping people in secret was considered 'reasonable'.

Chen Hao's mind raced.

Did China need an aircraft carrier?

Of course!

Why hadn't it been built?

He would have to spend a long time completing the technical data of the 055 destroyer alone.

There was more aircraft carrier technical data!

He alone…

It was impossible to complete it in a short time even if he was exhausted!

But if there was Varyag technical data, and a large number of people participated in the streamlining.

On the basis of the streamlined data, making a certain degree of modification, the situation would be different.

It was much simpler!

"As far as I know, the Varyag wasn't finished, right? How can we build it after buying it back?"

Chen Hao pretended not to know the truth.

"There's complete technical data!"

General Wang became excited and lowered his voice: "Actually, the Ukrainian side knew our purpose. They originally sold it for 5 million US dollars, and we took the initiative to add several times—the technical data was夹带in the aircraft carrier!"

"The data has been brought back?"

"It was brought back long ago, and a team has been formed to study it."

"Then…"

Chen Hao narrowed his eyes and smiled indifferently: "We might as well find an opportunity to accidentally leak it to the outside world that we bought the Varyag because we wanted to build an aircraft carrier."

"What?!!"

General Wang was immediately stunned.

This was top secret!

North America was secretly obstructing it, but it was only a guess and not very sure.

Other countries didn't know the truth.

Take the initiative to leak secrets to the outside world?

He was crazy!

"Don't say 1 billion US dollars, we won't give a penny. Let the Varyag stay there and wear down Turkey—but negotiations must continue and must be serious and sincere."

"You… what medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

"Attract North America's attention to the Varyag."

"And then?"

"General Wang, let me ask you a question."

Chen Hao said seriously: "Even if we get the Varyag, even if we have detailed drawings and rebuild it successfully—can we beat North America?"

Undoubtedly, the answer was no!

Displacement of 50,000 tons.

Ski-jump takeoff.

How could this kind of old antique compare to North America?

"What do you mean?"

General Wang was horrified and vaguely guessed something: "You wouldn't…"

"We, are going to build our own aircraft carrier."

Chen Hao narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "An aircraft carrier stronger than North America!"

Varyag?

A chess piece to attract North America, it doesn't need it at all!
