The planning defense of the US Navy revitalization plan officially began.
Lorraine clapped gently. Outside the door, several people came into the security office tuxedo with tiger backs and bearded waist. The front two pushed a large vertical Kanban filled with drawings, and the back two pushed a single leaf screen, standing between the door and the kanban. They were so thick that they couldn't see the scene behind the screen.
Washington pointed to the screen for unknown reasons: "Mr. President, is this also a defense prop?"
"Yes, Mr. President."
"This... Is there any mystery about the painting scroll on the color screen?"
"It's not at all." Lorraine put his hands on it. "The picture on the screen is a picture of the coming dynasties of all countries, which is the scene of Guangzhou in the Tang Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is a thousand years ago. Even if it was more advanced at that time, it could not have any reference value for the current ocean."
"A thousand years..." Washington was stunned.
His knowledge is far less profound than that of John Adams. Although he probably knows that the Far East has a long history of civilization, he always targets Greece, Assyria, Egypt and even Maya, and regards her as "barbaric prosperity".
But apart from the distinctive Chinese wooden architecture, how is the picture in the painting different from that in New York?
Is there such an advanced civilization in the Far East?
Looking at his expression, Lorraine couldn't help recalling the interesting talk about the son of freedom.
Washington is the real lucky man.
In 1753, with only primary school education, he was a major of the British colonial army in Virginia.
France built fortresses in the Ohio Valley and, with the support of the natives, prevented the British from expanding westward with non war aggression.
At that time, Robert dinwidy, governor of the colonial state of Virginia, ordered Washington to submit an ultimatum to the French commander, asking the French to leave.
The young Washington turned around and revealed the ultimatum to the local newspaper. Therefore, he won the local attention, but the French were forced to go to Liangshan and had to bite the bullet and refuse to evacuate.
Britain was forced to take further action.
In 1754, still in Washington, he successfully escalated the situation. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel for his merit and was ordered to lead the first Virginia Legion to attack the French in the Ohio Valley.
He led the army to ambush a reconnaissance team composed of French Canadians.
In the battle, his Indian ally tany chassan killed the French commander Ethan chamorville, who happened to be the only aristocrat in the investigation team.
Then Washington began to give full play to his traditional artistic skills, build fortresses where he won, attract attention, and was quickly broken.
He did similar things many times in the war of independence, but only once, he was captured.
The French gave Washington two options, to go to the POW camp or to sign a "peace agreement".
In fact, as Washington was at that time, he was not qualified to talk about debate and, but he was not an aristocrat. If he entered the prisoner of war camp, he had to do labor, and there was no need to expect someone to redeem it in a short time, so he readily signed the "peace agreement".
This anonymous agreement has great weight in modern history.
In the agreement, Washington admitted that he authorized the assassination of chamorville, a French nobleman, and his behavior was inspired by Robert dinwidy, the governor of the colonial state of Virginia.
The funny thing is that Washington doesn't know what he signed.
Because the whole agreement is written in French, and he can't understand French. The French can't imagine that there are still talents who don't understand French among the school level officers of the British Army
French popularity exploded
Non war aggression officially escalated into war. The scale of the war expanded rapidly and turned into a tragic Indian War in the blink of an eye.
The Indian War completely broke out the contradictions accumulated between Britain and France. At the beginning of the seven-year war, Britain defeated the French Spanish alliance and seized the whole of Canada and Florida Peninsula.
In short, because Washington does not understand French, hates reform through labor and likes to show off, the balance in North America has disappeared.
After the end of the seven-year war, defeated France and Spain increasingly hated the rising Britain. Under great international pressure, Britain was eager to restore its national strength and chose to levy a high war stamp in North America.
The rampant collection and excessive enrichment of the suzerainty hatched the Boston Tea dumping incident, which gave birth to the war of independence. France and Spain should choose to participate in the war. As long as it can make George III unhappy, Louis XV can sell his head with a smile.
In the second summary, Washington has been busy for the cause of American independence since 1753. This 30-year-long independence drama has swept Europe and the United States. Its planning is exquisite, even the whole history of mankind can be said to be exquisite.
This conclusion almost amused Lorraine.
He held back his smile and was so nervous that fafuna just stepped on Karen's shadow into the cabin and bumped into Karen's broad back.
Washington misunderstood.
He gently and kindly nodded at fafuna and asked curiously, "Mr. President, is there any interesting secret in this reply?"
"Secret? No." Lorraine shook his head. "I'm just feeling that knowledge can really change fate."
"Knowledge changes destiny?"
"Mr. President, aren't you curious about the role of the screen?" Lorraine asked. "The girl standing behind Karen at a loss is miss fafuna Hanji, a scholar seaman independently trained by the chamber of Commerce. She is knowledgeable and versatile."
"She is the chief of the tactical section of the fleet directly under her command, the supervisor of the first formation, and the captain of the only second-generation God class Mistra in service. Her tactical style is tough and flexible. She is best at short-range multi ship coordination, creating local advantages in the way of short soldiers and winning the siege."
"If you have seen her fierce fighting style like a crazy warrior, you can't imagine that she will be an ordinary girl troubled by social obstacles. As long as more than two people pay attention to her in the field of vision, she will be shy and unable to make a voice. The screen is to let her speak smoothly."
"I just thought that if the school of the chamber of Commerce hadn't developed her tactical talent, she might become an unqualified housewife. If it weren't for her studious and memory, she wouldn't be able to become a supervisor with her conditions. That's why I said that knowledge changes fate."
"It seems that your talent is not limited to privatizing businessmen," Washington said flatteringly. "This sentence has the flavor of a philosopher."
"In fact, it's the merchant's sentiment, but thank you for boasting." Lorraine gestured to Karen, "Karen, let's start."
Upon receiving the instruction, Karen led fafuna to bow deeply to the audience in the cabin.
Ju to the deepest place, he shook the whip with a snap and whipped the vertical Kanban behind him.
"Today, please allow me to solemnly introduce to you the most creative large warship in the ocean today, the special 54 door cruiser, the Battlecruiser female warrior class, and its compatriot ship varkiri class, which are independently designed, manufactured and finalized by Drake maritime group and have fully passed the practical test in two years..."
He raised his hand and lifted the drawing on the kanban.
"Walkiri class and nvwushen class adopt the same ship type design. The standard length is 62.2m, the width is 13.6m, and the main mast is 58m high. The ship material is made of century old Great Lakes oak. The mass density ranks first in the world and the oil content ranks third among the mainstream oak ship materials."
"The ship is characterized by high speed and flexibility. It is designed with 13.5 knots of high speed, a minimum turning radius of 100 meters and a favorable wind angle of 72 degrees. When the wind angle is less than or equal to 36 degrees, it can realize super wind speed navigation."
"As a warship above 60 meters, the ship is fully equipped with 400 sailors and can accommodate two sets of command systems. It is suitable to be used as the flagship of the formation."
"Its firepower configuration is a single-layer gunship, with 18 pound long-range 15 doors on both sides, and the upper layer is a closed design, with 24 pound short-range 7 doors on each side. The bow gun has 18 pound short-range 4 doors, and the tail gun has 18 pound medium-range 6 doors. The design stability of the ship can support 32 pound long-range saturation on all sides, and the fire upgrade space is the first in the world."
"In addition, the female Wushen class has an external 1-inch copper clad ship bottom and 2.5-inch cast iron armor, which maximizes the defense without affecting the navigation speed, making a large number of new tactics possible."
Karen took a deep breath.
"At present, more and more people begin to discuss the subversive value of 300 meter fire line and mobile warfare. The two special battle cruisers designed by our chamber of commerce are the demonstration of new tactics and have achieved amazing practical results."
"Battlecruisers have proved to be the best offshore defense ships and the best ocean assault ships. They are most suitable for the United States, which has not yet established a complete marine strategy."
"Our chamber of Commerce has customized a high-quality and cheap Navy revitalization plan for the United States. Next..."
"Take... Next..."
Behind the screen came a thin and weak girl's voice. Fafuna, like a frightened little rabbit, trembled and stretched out a thin whip and gently clicked three times on the kanban.
Karen's momentum went down.
He smiled bitterly, stopped talking and turned to open a new drawing for fafuna.
Favna hid behind the screen, even breathing carefully.
"Kao... Considering that the United States has no professional naval talents... Well... I will start from the era of sailing..."
"You can ask questions... Well... Don't worry. Asking questions will make you look like a layman... My teacher said that even if you don't ask questions, you... You are also a layman..."
"Well... That... I started..."
