Introduction: The strength of China's military strength is inseparable from the pace of development step by step in the past, thanks to the wise leadership of the state leadership. In the 1980s and 1990s, China was still in the stage of military scientific research and development, especially China's maritime strength has not been able to achieve outstanding progress in independent research and development. In order to enhance the overall strength of China's maritime military, He Pengfei decided to purchase the "Varyag" military aircraft carrier from the Ukrainian government, and this road has repeated twists and turns.
Ukraine is the second largest successor state after the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the second largest in the military level of the post-dissolution state. What makes people feel helpless is that the Ukrainian government is trying to become the little brother of the US government, but the US government has successively deceived the military strength on which it depends. In the case of aircraft carriers, Ukraine originally inherited three aircraft carriers, but was subsequently deceived by the United States and Russia by various means, and the only remaining aircraft carrier was Varyag.
At the beginning, when the Ukrainian government wanted to sell Varyag, the Chinese side sent people to Ukraine for negotiations, but the price offered by the Ukrainian government at that time was completely sky-high, so the Chinese government could only postpone the plan to acquire Varyag. In the negotiations in the following years, the two sides finally negotiated a reasonable price, and just as the two sides were preparing to trade, the US government suddenly obstructed it and ordered the Ukrainian government not to sell the aircraft carrier to China under any circumstances.
In fact, the purpose of the US government in doing this is obvious, at that time, the United States, as the most powerful country in the world in terms of comprehensive strength, the Ukrainian side did not dare not listen, so the Ukrainian government must take into account the opinions of the US government. In desperation, the Ukrainian government decided to sell the aircraft carrier through auction, and the US government could only choose to acquiesce.
At that time, General He Long's son He Pengfei was the deputy commander of the Navy, and he was very aware of how the Ukrainian aircraft carrier could help China's maritime forces, so He Pengfei made a special trip to Hong Kong to find the famous Mr. Xu Zengping, hoping to acquire the aircraft carrier with the help of Xu Zengping. Although Xu Zengping was a businessman, he was also a retired soldier with great patriotic feelings, and he gladly accepted He Pengfei's invitation and decided to personally rush to Ukraine for negotiations.
In order to get Varyag, Xu Zengping used almost all the Ukrainian relations he could use, and repeatedly negotiated with Ukrainian officials at the wine table. Ukraine as the former Soviet Union disintegration country, because of the cold weather and other reasons, the amount of alcohol of Ukrainians is inherited from the amount of Alcohol of the Soviet Union, and it will be uncomfortable if they do not put on two pounds of vodka every day. To this end, Xu Zengping suffered a lot at the wine table and worked hard to obtain the right to purchase the Ukrainian aircraft carrier.
After everything was ready, Ukraine began to carry Varyag's itinerary and affairs, but the United States and other countries have stopped interfering in Varyag's entry into China' territory, and the transportation along this road has paid a lot of hardships. It was not until 2002 that the Varyag officially entered China's territory, and it is relatively regrettable that Deputy Commander He Pengfei died of illness in 2001, and his biggest regret was that he could not see Varyag come to China.
To our great delight, Xu Zengping spent a total of $18 million on the purchase of Varyag, and Xu Zengping not only spent all his savings, but even took out a sum of money to take down the Varyag. In order to commend Xu Zengping's contribution to the motherland, the state has given Xu Zengping Company a lot of privileges and policy support, which has ensured that Xu Zengping's enterprise can make a comeback.
Conclusion: China's strong strength today is inseparable from the patriotic ancestors who sacrificed their lives to the motherland in exchange for sleeping and forgetting to eat. The breakthroughs in China's comprehensive strength all include the efforts and painstaking efforts of countless patriots, so that the stagnant Dragon of the East can be successfully awakened and a broader future for New China can be realized.
