Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

This group of people was Jiang Sen and his companions.

After being transformed by Qianmian and having Lu Jiefang change his identity, they set off.

Jiang Sen is unaware that Varyag, which he has been longing for, only began construction last year.

He only found out when they arrived in Cisco City after they had traveled around Europe and attracted a lot of attention.

Moreover, this aircraft carrier is not currently named "Varyag," but rather "Riga"!

This was quite disappointing.

However, in this day and age, money can make the devil turn the millstone, especially in Russia.

I don't know if it's because Jiang Sen interfered, but the turmoil in Russia happened ahead of schedule.

Since he left, the entire country of Russia has been plunged into unprecedented panic.

Oligarchs took away almost all of the funds, accelerating currency devaluation.

Each province has begun to focus solely on its own immediate surroundings.

The government is constantly engaging in an arms race and has also started a space race with the United States. Funds are flowing out like water, and the national treasury is becoming increasingly empty.

Street crime rates have surged, and various shady deals have sprung up.

Jiang Sen noticed that Chinese traders were starting to appear on the streets.

He sat in the presidential suite on the top floor of Cisco City’s largest and most luxurious hotel, overlooking the entire plaza, with military vehicles driving by one after another.

Behind him, Qianmian, dressed in a white robe, finally removed the cloth from his head and touched the top of his head while looking in the mirror.

"My hairstyle is ruined!" he said. "Brother Sen, what do we do next?"

Jiang Sen got up and went to pour himself a cup of coffee. "Wait for Brother Lu to come back."

This time, Lu Jiefang and Xiao Wu both dressed up as Europeans, with blond hair and blue eyes, looking incredibly handsome. They could make women scream even as bodyguards.

Like Jiang Sen, Han San dressed like a wealthy young master from Hong Kong.

After all, Jiang Sen's Chinese face was too conspicuous.

Wang Haiyang was already quite tanned from his time in the army, and Qianmian made him even darker, adding a curly wig to make him look exactly like a black bodyguard.

He actually looks a bit like that American movie star!

As they were talking, Lu Jiefang and Xiao Wu returned.

They still have that European look.

"I found out!" Lu Jiefang said, "It's at the Black Sea Shipyard! The framework has just been completed! The deck hasn't even been installed yet! There's complete chaos up there right now, funding is running out, and construction is almost at a standstill."

Jiang Sen had a headache. He had really been too hasty. He didn't even know that Varyag had only started construction last year!

He always believed that the reason he was able to be bought back by the Chinese in the 1990s was because he had retired.

It's a new one!

This cannot be blamed on him. Many Chinese people only know that a Chinese businessman bought Varyag for the country, but on the way back, he was intercepted and obstructed in various ways. Finally, it took two years to transport it to China.

Jiang Sen knew this would happen, so from the beginning he had decided to use his status as a wealthy young man from Hong Kong to buy the aircraft carrier, using it as an excuse to buy the world's largest floating casino.

While this may not be a certainty, it can significantly reduce obstacles encountered in the countries along the route.

In fact, the idea was good, but who knew that when we got here we would find out that Varyag wasn't even finished yet!

"Sigh!" Jiang Sen sighed. "Brother Lu, if they had enough funds, how long could it take them to build it?"

Lu Jiefang said, "Given their previous strength, it would take them at least five to ten years to complete!"

Jiang Sen is about to become withdrawn!

They came with great ambition, only to end up with a bloody nose.

give up?

Should we come back in a few years?

No!

That's not like Jiang Sen at all.

Since we're already here, we're not going back until we figure things out.

He paced back and forth in the room, resting his chin on his hand as he pondered.

This isn't something that money can magically conjure up, but he can't wait, and neither can the country.

However, Russia did not announce its dissolution until the end of 91.

If they had disintegrated earlier, wouldn't that have meant...?

No, it's not a question of whether they're ahead of schedule or not, it's a question of construction speed.

What other options are there?

Lu Jiefang answered Qianmian and the others' questions from the side.

"They have a total of six aircraft carriers. The one currently under construction is the second Kuznetsov, named Riga. It is said that it will be based on the original Kuznetsov, with improved electronic equipment, and will definitely be more advanced than the original."

Qianmian glanced at Jiang Sen, who was still thinking, and continued, "I really don't know where he got this information. Brother Lu, is it worth buying the No. 1 you mentioned?"

Lu Jiefang chuckled and said, "I'm currently serving in the military, how could I possibly sell it?"

Jiang Sen suddenly stopped and turned to say, "But what if something serious happens to him? Wouldn't we have to come back for repairs?"

Lu Jiefang looked at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "You mean..."

"It's not that I want to, but whether they want to make money or not?" Jiang Sen perked up and walked up to them. "I mean, they're short of money right now, while I am. They can sell airplanes and cannons, they should be able to sell a ship too! The premise is..."

"Provided you have enough money!"

Jiang Sen smiled, and Lu Jiefang smiled too. "I think it's feasible, but very difficult. We can only give it a try."

"Anyway, we're here as rich kids wandering the world, buying whatever looks good to us."

Han San asked Qianmian, "Do you have a solution?"

Qianmian looked at the group of people and said after a while, "There is a way, but if we do as I say, I'm afraid no one can control the consequences."

"Tell us your ideas!" Jiang Sen really hoped that Qianmian would come up with an idea, "Even if it doesn't work, it would still provide us with some reference."

Qianmian looked at Lu Jiefang again, and Lu Jiefang asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?"

Qianmian said, "What I'm trying to say is, if I say it out loud and everyone follows it, and then something goes wrong, you can cover for me."

Lu Jiefang raised an eyebrow. "That serious?"

"Haven't you heard? We swindlers have an old saying: 'A swindler's schemes can be as small as stealing jade, or as big as stealing a country!' Giving advice is fine, but if something serious goes wrong, I won't be responsible for cleaning up the mess!"

Lu Jiefang fell silent again; he understood what Qianmian was saying.

Therefore, he couldn't say whether he agreed or disagreed, since it involved too many aspects and couldn't be decided by him alone.

In particular, the implication conveyed in Qianmian's words was that using his methods could very likely shake the foundations of Russia.

Jiang Sen understood this principle, but he also knew more than others.

Regardless of whether Qianmian uses his methods or not, the ultimate course of Russia will not change.

It's just a matter of sooner or later.

He walked to the window, looked at the large square not far away, and was filled with thoughts.

To do it or not to do it?

Xiao Wu, Wang Haiyang, and Han San remained silent.

This topic is no longer something they can participate in.

Only two people can decide whether or not to use the Thousand Faces method: Lu Jiefang and Jiang Sen.

They both knew one thing: whether they did it or not, they would stick with the two of them to the end.

Lu Jiefang gestured for Xiao Wu, Qianmian, Wang Haiyang, and Han San to go to another room, while he stayed behind and walked to Jiang Sen's side, looking outside with him.

"Is there something you want to tell me?" Lu Jiefang asked. "I always feel that you have something on your mind, but you are never willing to tell anyone. Whether it's doing things or speaking, you only say half of it."

Jiang Sen let out a breath, releasing his pent-up frustration. "Brother Lu, you're right! I do have many concerns!"

Can you tell me?
