Retirement, in the current chaotic situation, only fools would choose to give up their rights, leave the military, retire or become professional.

The officers present looked at me and I looked at you. No matter they were the generals with stars or the commanders of the fleet's intermediate forces, not one of them stood up and said they quit.

Everyone has spent many years in the army, even those young people with the rank of captain, including the military academy, it has been almost ten years.

After being away from society for ten years, we have long been out of touch. When we retire without enough pension or the government does not arrange a job, we can only go to the streets to do odd jobs or beg for food after leaving the army.

"It seems that no one wants to give up their current position."

Seeing the officers sitting motionless in their seats, with no one saying they were willing to retire or change careers, General Hronopoulos shook his head with a smile and said with a serious face:

"It's a pity that the orders given by above are fatal orders. We must implement them even if we don't want to. It is inevitable to reduce the army by 70 or even 80 percent, and no one can escape it."

"General, why don't you tell Moscow or Kiev that disarmament should focus on soldiers. Officers like us have worked hard in the army for more than ten years without any merit.

At most, everyone's salary should be lower. Lieutenants should do the work of non-commissioned officers, and school officers should do the work of lieutenants." Vasilyev begged.

"You shouldn't say this to me. This old guy of mine is also within the scope of retirement. You can tell the new commander or the deputy commander. He is now very favored by Kiev and may succeed this old guy like me.

"

But the U.S. dollars in your hand will not be faked.

"General, I'm not afraid, I just want to make money and spend my life, and I don't want to harm my family." Vasilyev lowered his head and said.

"Agree, of course I agree to such a good thing." Major General Leonyev picked up the one hundred thousand dollars in front of him and put it in his pocket, smiling, "But Commander, this is not what the Eastern Group wants."

"yes!"

"Yes, listen to you. You have considered it in such detail, what else can we say?"

What we want are the warships in the best condition and the most advanced.

I can assure you.

"Very good, since everyone trusts me so much, I won't hide it anymore." General Hronopoulos waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said:

For Moscow, the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea is worthless, and it is reluctant to give it to Ermao. After all, it consists of hundreds of warships. Most of the soldiers still care about Moscow and it belongs to their own property.

"This money is the same as the materials distributed two days ago. It is a deposit given by the Eastern Group." She saw Tayana put 20,000 US dollars into the last person's hand, and then signaled that the box was empty.

"One hundred thousand dollars!"

In this case, trouble arises.

"Yes, Commander, we listen to you and we will do whatever you say!"

It can be said that without the help of the Eastern Bloc, prices in Moscow would have skyrocketed.

General Hronopoulos gestured to the beautiful female adjutant Tayana, who picked up the suitcase she had prepared and opened it, revealing a suitcase full of U.S. dollars.

"We can use safer methods, Tayana!"

The most generals!

Whether he was a major general or a lieutenant general, everyone received $100,000.

"Bringing the Varyan is really a big deal by the Eastern Group. It seems that the shipyard has already taken care of it. Their real target is not the Varyan. We just took it by the way."

"We didn't know this at the time, and they asked us to take the Varya with us during the operation!" General Hronopoulos said.

If we agree, we will be given another amount of materials and money as departure fees before departure.

"No one wants to leave the army, and I am the same. I have been working in the army for decades and have devoted my whole life to the army. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I was about to retire.

We get enough pension money, and we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. Moscow gets the necessary supplies, which can stabilize the domestic economy, and the Eastern Bloc and the warships can enhance the country's strength.

"What an appetite!"

"You don't have to worry about this. If there is danger, I will not come to you. As for the danger you mentioned, I consulted Mr. Jiang and they said that we only need to send the ship to Xiangjiang, and they will discuss the rest with Moscow.

.

"Ha ha!"

The Eastern Group has close relations with the mainland, and the Varyan is prepared for the mainland.

Major General Leonev was not surprised when he heard that the Varyan was to be brought along. This time it was a real dream of a great power!

Aircraft carriers are a necessity for the navies of great powers.

"This is a list of the warships they want. Most of them are under our control. If they are not available, I want you to control them in the shortest possible time. You can exchange them for supplies.

General Hronopoulos knew what Vasilyev was worried about. This was what he was worried about at the beginning. The target of the warship was too big, let alone the Eastern Group's desire for the Varyan.

"It is definitely impossible to rob Istanbul. We are not in the Middle Ages anymore. The navy is synonymous with pirates. If you are short of money, you can just find a port to rob." General Hronopoulos shook his head.

Lieutenant colonels and colonels are a little more, with $40,000 each.

It can be said that what the Eastern Group did was exactly what Moscow intended. We sailed the ship to Xiangjiang and solved the big trouble in Moscow. They rewarded us but it was not enough. How could they punish us?"

But there is no money to support them. Moscow has to disarm even the Baltic Fleet and Pacific Fleet, let alone the Black Sea Fleet. The best way is to sell them in exchange for money that Moscow desperately needs, but no one around wants the warships of the Black Sea Fleet.

Many people want to say that General Hronopoulos lied to people, how could such a good thing happen, and just give him $100,000.

Petrov's words made the tense atmosphere a little funny.

Vasilyev wanted his head and expressed his feelings as an officer, "General, you are the commander and our boss, we still listen to you."

If you think back to the uproar among workers in mainland China, major factories, and schools when allocating housing, you will know the trouble that the Black Sea Fleet encountered when allocating housing.

"No more, Commander, we all listen to you."

General Hronopoulos said, "They want warships from the Black Sea Fleet. There are more than 20 warships and submarines in the Black Sea Fleet. Let us drive the warships to Xiangjiang to deliver them.

"Spare the money among everyone!"

Just when everyone was assuring General Hronopoulos to obey his orders, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the conference room. The sound was urgent, and it was obvious that something had happened.

It can be said that this operation is beneficial to several parties.

Because buying and selling is prohibited, housing is all distributed, and the principle of distribution is based on individual conditions.

But the reality is like this. Since you can’t resist, you have to adapt. The army cannot stay here.”

This is just the deposit. If you include the opening fee and the final payment after the goods arrive, it is not impossible to reach US$100,000.

"Robbing our house, why?" After hearing this, General Hronopoulos's face became even more gloomy, "Isn't it already over? Why is it starting to happen again?"

Although everyone does the same thing, they have different positions and receive different amounts of money.

"The deputy commander robbed our house!" Tayana came to the door and chatted with the people outside for a few words, then turned back and whispered to General Hronopoulos.

Speaking of this, General Hronopoulos paused, took a sip of water from his cup, and said sadly, "The strength of the army cannot be separated from the support of national strength.

Such a behemoth will attract attention wherever it goes.

As for how much money there is!

Unfortunately, after the disintegration of Mao Xiong, both Da Mao and Er Mao fell into a severe economic recession and could no longer maintain an army of millions.

These two straits are under the control of Turkey. In the past, it was easy for us to be similar to the back garden. However, the Varyan purchased by the Eastern Group did not work. It was easy for Turkey to find excuses to get stuck.

Everyone sitting here, even the smallest person can get one hundred thousand dollars."

"Yeah, what else can I say?"

"General, I have no objection to making money. I also want to earn all my pension at once, but warships are different from tanks, planes and cannons. These things cannot be hidden. It is easy to sell them here. What if Moscow traces them?

I believe everyone knows the name of the KGB. Even if they die now, a camel is still bigger than a horse. If they really want to settle a score with us, even if we hide in the ends of the earth, it will be useless." Vasilyev stood up and said.

Even if you leave the Black Sea and enter the Mediterranean, you still need to sail thousands of nautical miles through the Suez Canal and the Strait of Malacca to reach East Asia.

"What happened?" General Hronopoulos was a little angry that the meeting was interrupted, and his face immediately turned gloomy.

However, pie will not fall in the sky. Since the Eastern Group has offered such a big price, then it is what they want!

"General, I wonder what kind of warship the Eastern Group wants?" Major General Leonev asked after looking at the U.S. dollars in front of him, a total of one hundred thousand U.S. dollars.

It was fine in the past, and they were basically allocated based on needs according to fleet officer level.

"Are you scared and don't want to make money?" General Hronopoulos said with a smile.

As soon as Vasilyev finished speaking, the officers present started shouting, saying that they all obeyed General Hronopoulos' instructions and would do whatever he said.

"Leonev, do you agree?"

Housing has been a big problem during the Woolly Bear Period.

As long as it can lead everyone to find a way to survive.

After arriving in Xiangjiang, there is still more money waiting for us.

“I can’t say incidentally, but just to be more complete, the Eastern Group at the shipyard has already made arrangements and can sail the ship at any time. The key is the Bosporus and Dardanelles in Turkey.

They all have friends in Moscow, and they know the situation there very well, and they also know about the generosity of the Eastern Group. During this period, one-third of the daily necessities in the Mao market were supplied by the Eastern Group.

"How to make money? Are you going to rob Istanbul? Let's agree first. If we want to rob, my warship will take the lead and eat the biggest fat." Petrov shouted.

"If you have any questions, you can ask Vasilyev." Seeing Vasilyev's face looking a little ugly, he let out an almost inaudible wry smile, knowing that he was distressed about his Sovremenny-class guided missile destroyer, General Hronopoulos signaled to him.

Just say it.

Looking at the list in his hand, Vasilyev took a breath of cold air. Except for the Glorious-class cruisers, the Eastern Group could be said to have taken over the main fleet of the Black Sea Fleet.
