Chapter 1581

"What does he want?"

"He wants a lot, but he wants nothing from me."

Sitting on the leisure sofa by the bed, Li Zitao cushions his head with his arms, and looks at the distant sky clearly.

The sky above the castle was as bright as ever, in sharp contrast to New York when he left.

Mary rubbed the cream on her hands, sat down against him, and said, "so he did it to make sure you couldn't spare your hands?"

"Probably I didn't think of the deep meaning. I went into the trap myself

This should be a bad thing, but Li Zitao did not care, relaxed and comfortable smile in her forehead kiss.

"It doesn't matter who wins or loses the war, nor how many people are sacrificed. What matters is that if the war continues, 800000 tons of various materials can be consumed every month.

last year, the ammunition consumption alone cost US $750 million. The new generation of equipment of the three armed forces has been put into production, and US $3.5 billion has been allocated..."

Looking at Mary, who was slightly surprised, Li Zitao said to himself, "interest is the first. No matter who wants to jump out and smash the pot, there will be no good end."

"You're in it, aren't you?" Mary looked at him funny. If he could find time to look at the minutes of the meeting, he would not have made such a mistake.

Li Zitao sighed and said, "one's energy is limited after all. This is my carelessness."

If, before meeting with Eisenhower, he can hold a meeting with the backbone of Li's consortium and the CEOs to discuss, the previous situation will not happen at all.

Now, he has to pay for his recklessness and carelessness, but there are not many people who need him to explain himself.

Most of the phone calls will end at Molly's place, and if she can't make it, she will transfer to sanier first, and only a few calls will make money here.

Ringling

Whatever you want.

It was Lawrence, not on his own behalf, but all the brothers of the Freemasonry, and Damian, the Holy One.

"It's my fault. You should know Li's devotion and contribution to charity and humanitarianism. I just want those children to go home."

Li Zitao put on a fresh appearance of great righteousness for his behavior. What he did was totally in sympathy and humanitarianism.

America shouldn't pay for the behavior of foreigners. The good guys shouldn't be killed on the land of other countries.

"Charlie, I'll convey your apologies, but I hope you'll be more careful in the future and come to me whenever you need to."

"Of course, we are good brothers."

"Yes, ha ha..."

Knowing that Li Zitao will not touch the interests of all people, Lawrence also reciprocates and tells him the latest good news.

"Our design model has won the contract of the second generation military aircraft carrier, and it will be officially put into production in the middle of this year. You should prepare a party to celebrate!"

"Shouldn't you have prepared it? You're the boss of the l.c.a. industry. "

"One." As soon as Lawrence finished, he burst out laughing.

To be able to win the construction contract of the second generation military aircraft carrier in one fell swoop is of great significance to Li, l.c.a., or Lawrence.

Li Zitao asked excitedly, "how many ships will be built in the first phase?"

In his opinion, this contract is more like a consolation award given by the "Brotherhood" as compensation for his failure to achieve his wish.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, his purpose from the beginning was to strive for more welfare for himself.

The immediate immediate immediate benefit is the Navy's second generation aircraft carrier procurement contract.

"Four ships, it's a miracle for the Navy, for you and me!" Lawrence said with some emotion.

As any military fan knows, the situation of the navy has been getting worse and worse since 1948.

It can be said that since the end of the war, its fate has not been smooth, until it has deteriorated completely.

First, defense secretary and Navy Secretary James forester, who supported the construction of the super carrier, resigned after a serious illness.

Even so, Louis Johnson, the successor to defense secretary, is not satisfied because he is a "traitor" from the air force's standpoint, at least for the Navy.

It happened that they met with the end of World War II, and the Congress cut down military expenditure and military institutions on a large scale, and the competition and exclusion among the various armies were particularly serious.

Therefore, the army and air force united front and strongly opposed the super carrier plan.

The following year, the "America" placed keels at the national Royal shipyard and Newport News shipyard. Without communicating with the then Navy Secretary and Congress, Louis Johnson unilaterally ordered the building to be cancelled.

Several senior Navy generals, including Navy Secretary John Sullivan, resigned in protest.

James forester, the former Secretary of defense and navy who resigned because of illness, committed suicide the following month.The loss of a large number of high-ranking generals with the right to speak and the most influential veteran generals, and cutting off the "America" became the fuse for other services to attack the Navy budget violently.

From 49 to 51, the Navy's budgets were slashed.

Eight Essex class aircraft carriers in service were reduced to half, and 10 class escort carriers were greatly reduced to only two.

The fleet of carrier based aircraft, marine aviation Squadron, antisubmarine aircraft squadron and patrol aircraft squadron were substantially reduced.

For the Navy, it was like a disaster, with less than a third of its strength in wartime.

If it wasn't for the carrier formation still in service, the entire U.S. Navy would look like a complete collapse.

As for the construction plan of super carrier, it has been put on the shelf and no one is interested in it.

The turning point of the incident came from the peninsula, which changed the embarrassing situation of the Navy being isolated and targeted.

Plans to build new carriers are back on the agenda, but the Navy's focus is still on Retrofitting 18 Essex class ships that have been put back on the battlefield.

The construction plan of the new large aircraft carrier ranked 23rd in the priority of the new annual budget draft. Then, in the revised annual budget, that is, this year's annual budget, its priority was raised to eighth.

Today, four years later, the launch plan of the new large aircraft carrier has finally been restarted, and the navy has ushered in a long-term expected victory.

Although it is a victory for self entertainment and the era of great ships and cannons is gone, it is still a day to celebrate.

The cost of each of the four "national" new large aircraft carriers is over US $100 million. The first ship will take about 26 months.

The next three aircraft carriers will be put into operation every other year, and the time consumption will be reduced accordingly, unless the navy is generous again and puts forward new requirements and technologies.

However, these four "super" aircraft carriers are enough for l.c.a. to be busy next. It is not a relatively pure technology that has been put into production, but an innovation of aircraft carrier.
