Mercenary War

The Black Sea Shipyard, the only aircraft carrier assembly plant in the former Soviet Union, all the aircraft carriers of the Soviet Union were assembled from here, including the current Kuznetsov of Russia.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea Shipyard was lost, and Russia was no longer capable of building an aircraft carrier.

On the personal level, there is no need for the aircraft carrier, and it is impossible for Ukraine to build its own aircraft carrier. It is not necessary to support a large team of engineers. Even if those engineers are extremely valuable, the temple can not accommodate the Buddha. This is the truth.

Geluo Liaofu didn’t mean anything at all. He just sighed a little, but Gao Yang was a little surprised because he knew that since the collapse of the Soviet Union, scientists and engineers who have even had problems in life have been ambitions in the world. The country has recruited a lot, and China has collected a lot of talents from it.

“Sir, I am a bit curious. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, China, South Korea, many countries have recruited talents like you with high treatment. Why didn’t you leave?”

The old man turned to look at Gao Yang, then he twisted back, and after a bitter smile, Shen said: “I am Ukrainian, I don’t want to go anywhere.”

The car was in a short silence, but not long after, the old man smiled again and again: “I’m sorry, I think I lied because of self-respect. Well, if I can choose it again, I will definitely leave Ukraine. My ideals, my efforts, my dead father, my wife, my son and daughter, everyone wants me to be an engineer, not a taxi here, I used to choose this country. Loyalty. But my loyalty can only make me a taxi driver. I think. This is fate. I used to be a respected engineer, but now I am driving a damn taxi here! Open this damn taxi!”

The old man was excited again. He unconsciously raised the volume and excitedly said: “Gentlemen, I have experienced the disintegration of the Soviet Union! I am going to give everything to my motherland. I became Ukrainian, okay! Now I am again My mother has to face this again. I watched my country again and my mother was made into what it is now! And I can’t do anything, I have to drive this car to kill the family. Taxi, because my pension is not enough to eat, my mother often can’t get my hands!”

The old man was out of control, because he said that he suddenly began to cry. After he wiped his tears, he parked the car on the side of the road and quickly smeared his face. He said: “Sorry, I have some Too excited, please don’t get off the car. It’s too dangerous, let’s go right away. Go away.”

Geluo Liaofu Wen dialect: “It doesn’t matter, sir, you can take a break here.”

The old man buried his face on the steering wheel, his shoulders shrugged and twitched: “It’s all ruined, once again, everything will be ruined.”

After waiting for about three minutes, the old man looked up and picked up a towel on his hand and rubbed it on his face. His face still had a self-deprecating smile and shook his head. “Sorry, I am a little too excited, let You saw a grumpy old man crying here, oh, I can only say sorry.”

Gao Yang whispered: “It doesn’t matter, sir, we understand you, please don’t be ashamed of it. In addition, I have to tell you that there are too few people who know what your country is like, the world’s wise man. Always alone.”

The old man shook his head and wiped his hand with a clean white towel. He extended his hand to Geluo Liaofu and whispered: “I am very glad to meet you, thank you for listening to an old man’s complaint, my name is Nepal. Gula Yashkov.”

Geluo Liaofu whispered: “You can call me Yuri, I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Yaskov.”

“My name is Peter, I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Yaskov.”

Gao Yang reported the fake name on the passport, and he also shook hands with Nikolay after he used the pseudonym in Ukraine.

Nikolay gave a strong smile and whispered: “Sorry to the two again, now we continue on the road.”

After waiting for the car to drive again, Gao Yang whispered: “Mr. Yaskov, can I ask why you didn’t go to another country when the Soviet Union collapsed? I think your most suitable position should be an engineer, not taxi driver.”

Nikolay smiled bitterly: “Destiny, this is fate. I was still young, but I was less than forty years old. It was the age of Fenghua Zhengmao. I was already a senior engineer at the Black Sea Shipyard, but many people in the year. I left, but I didn’t, because I was regarded as the hope of the Black Sea Shipyard, so they left me a post, although I can’t compare with the foreign treatment, but I still want to stay.

At that time, many people were imagining that the Black Sea shipyard could survive, even if it was a civilian ship, it could survive. But it turned out that these were illusions. We were fooled. In 1995, the aircraft carrier was handed over to the Black Sea. The shipyard has full power to dispose of it, but how can it be disposed of? It is impossible for us to finish it. In that year, our old captain, Mark Love, retired. The Black Sea Shipyard was not as good as one year. We have no work to do. We rely on the seller to pay the employees’ salaries, and the meager salary. Although it is small, it can barely make ends meet. Until the sales are not available, and the employees’ wages cannot be released, I can only be forced to retire early, and that is already 2000 years. ”

Waving his hand, Nikolay sighed: “American played us, watching the carrier that I had spent half of my life was first broken into empty shells, and finally was taken away as scrap iron, my heart was broken, Losing work, retiring blondes are not in the hands, they are not as good as watching their own efforts to be dragged away as scrap iron, but fortunately, the aircraft carrier has been reborn, in any case, always stay in the dock It is better to finish the rust.

The Black Sea Shipyard is gone, why don’t I leave? Because I am valued, gentlemen, it is sometimes not good to be valued, and I am reluctant to leave. My family, everything in Ukraine, how can I leave easily? ”

Gao Yang gently nodded her head, but when she had not had time to express her opinion, Nikolay smiled again: “Sorry, sorry, I lied again. This set of words I have said too many years. So that habit has become natural, in fact, where can I go? I have not worked for a long time, my professional knowledge has not been displayed, I am out of date, just like the Black Sea Shipyard, we are out together, Huaxia, South Korea, they have trained their own engineers, they no longer need us old men, at least not as needed, now new engineers have more knowledge, use new machinery and equipment, yes, new people are new The shipyard made a new ship, and the old man accompanied the old shipyard and the old ship to decay. This is the end of those of us.”

Too sad, Gao Yang couldn’t help but start to feel uncomfortable. He said: “Don’t say that every engineer is a valuable asset.”

Nikolay smiled and said: “Thank you for your comfort, but this is really fate. In the 92 year, Chinese people invited me to go to China, but I didn’t go because I think the Black Sea Shipyard needs me more, but unfortunately, I missed that. Opportunity, I will never have a chance. Who will be able to see an engineer who has not done any practical work for 20 years? Is there?”

Gao Yang can’t answer Nikola’s question because he knows nothing about the field of the problem.

Can’t hear Gao Yang’s response, Nikolay smiled and said: “I was forced to retire, but my retirement was not enough to eat, and my wife was sick, so I came to drive a taxi. I can make more money than my retirement. I said that I started this business in 03 year, 11 years, and I should actually thank this profession, thank you for providing me with a job. .”

Gao Yang couldn’t help but say: “Do you have no children?”

Although he knew that the concept of old-age care was different, Gao Yang still asked his question.

Nikolay smiled and said: “Yes, he just became an engineer through the professional engineer exam last year. I cultivated my son into an engineer and used the money I earned from renting. He was only 27 years old last year. The engineer is much better than I was.”

After that, Nikolay once again sighed again: “When I say this, my mood is getting worse. My son has become an engineer but can’t find any job. Ukraine can’t provide him with job opportunities. He is looking for I have been working for a long time, and in the current situation, I may not be able to give him any job opportunities for a long time. I want to drive a taxi like me. After I got a pass, I gave up this idea now, I hope he I can go abroad to find opportunities, maybe I can find a job that suits him, but it is very difficult and difficult.”

After Gao Yang thought about it seriously, he said to Nikolai: “Mr. Yashkov, I have a proposal. I hope you can think about it. It is like this. We are foreigners. We need a reliable driver. Take us to a lot of places, and compared to your peers, I think you are very suitable, what do you mean?”

After hesitating, Nikolay said: “You want to charter a car? Hey, this can be, no problem, just I have to ask what the price of the chartered car is, and if the car is used at night, the price will be higher. The situation is not good now, the price has gone up, I don’t know if you can accept it.”

Gao Yang smiled and said: “Don’t ask, what do you think of a thousand dollars a day? Oh, we are journalists. Sometimes it is inevitable to go to some dangerous places. If you go to a dangerous place, you will get a dangerous allowance. How?” (To be continued…)
