SHIELD's new recruits

"Of course, General, but my shipyard hasn't been remodeled yet, so I haven't brought it up." Wesley said generously.

William Benson choked on Wesley's words, how shameless you are, you are a soldier.

Wesley didn't care about the other party's eyes at all, and continued as if nothing had happened: "The development of naval ships is still in the groping stage. This is my opinion. The current warships have not yet reached their peak, mainly because of technical problems. I don't have the slightest problem here."

"And I divided the warships in detail. First of all, the first type is naturally battleships, and the development of battleships must increase the caliber of the main guns. This is inevitable. And the increase in caliber must be accompanied by the increase in tonnage, so Battleships are getting bigger and bigger."

"The second type is cruisers. I divide cruisers into heavy cruisers and light cruisers, and the third type is called destroyers." Wesley actually divided four types of warships.

"Can you tell me in detail?" William Benson asked impatiently.

Wesley thought for a while and said, "General, I hope you don't spread the word after hearing it. Although other shipyards don't have my technology, the design concept is still very important."

"Don't worry about this, I will never spread it, but you want to take all the orders of the Navy?"

"Of course not, because the number of ships needed by the Navy is a huge number, and my shipyard can't afford it, but I need to make sure that my shipyard is the number one shipyard in the United States."

"Ok, I see."

"Let's not talk about battleships. Everyone knows this. It's nothing more than technology and design. If the navy needs the latest capital ships, our shipyard can participate in the bidding. I don't think there is any problem with those bidding documents."

"Cruiser, as the name suggests, is a ship that sails at sea for a long time. Like the current armored cruiser, it needs to have independent combat capabilities, and heavy cruisers are designed for this purpose. Light cruisers follow the fleet. , assume the role of fleet security missions.”

"Destroyers are divided into offshore destroyers and ocean-going destroyers. The offshore is mainly to defend the coastline and naval bases, while the ocean-going ones follow the fleet. Such ships do not need to install excessively large naval guns. Their role is only to prevent local Lightning strikes, while patrolling the coast, can also be relied upon for lightning strikes against enemy warships after battle."

"The idea is very good, and the division is very careful. Can you produce all these warships?"

"Of course, but my shipyard has only completed a 20000-ton dock, and is now building a 30000-ton dock. It will take a few months."

"Hiss, does it need to be this big?" Benson asked in surprise.

"If it weren't for the technical problems of the workers, I would have directly built a 50000 million-ton shipyard. They now need to start production from small ships, which is not possible with my technology."

"Okay, then the navy can place an order for you first, an order for four destroyers, what do you think?" William Benson directly threw out the bait, which is very small, but it also means that if the navy is satisfied, then Follow-up orders will continue to come.

"No problem, we can start working right away."

After everything was done, Wesley went back to New York directly. He wanted a large number of freighters and oil tankers, all of which were [-]-ton class. In this era, [-]-ton class freighters and oil tankers are not too big, but it is necessary for the workers to practice their skills. good choice.

Wesley directly approached John Lister, "I have an order for four destroyers, which will be built directly with only 5000-ton berths, and all the skilled welders will be gathered here."

"What destroyer? We don't have a designer for the army!" John List shouted in surprise.

"That's me, you go and arrange workers. I've been drawing in the office these days, and then build according to my drawings. The weapons are directly thrown into the arsenal for production. They have equipment and technology, and I put them there. "

"You have long wanted to produce warships, right?"

"Of course, otherwise, what am I doing with a big shipyard?" Wesley asked John Riester to do the preparatory work, and he started drawing the design drawings of the destroyer.

John Benson did not organize personnel to conduct demonstrations at all, and there is a reason why Wesley was directly built. First of all, the price of the four destroyers is not high, which is very cheap for the Navy, and new warships can be seen. If you are not satisfied, you don't have to accept it. This is a test John Benson gave Wesley.

Wesley also understands the plan of the navy, and he is full of confidence. The current warship is very long because of the boiler and power system. There are three to four chimneys alone, and Wesley's Design will be epoch-making.

Here, Wesley is designing, while on the other side, William Benson has temporarily stopped orders for other warships of the navy. The ships that are about to be built have been produced, and all others have been stopped. Many, many shipyards are at a loss for this. , Hastily ran to the navy to inquire.

"Everyone, don't worry, we stopped not to cancel the order, but to make some changes. I hope you will wait for the specific things, and I will give you news within three months at most." This is the explanation of the Navy.

Three months is the time for Wesley to produce warships. The production is completely in accordance with the wartime system. It works in three shifts and uses a large number of skilled workers. For this reason, both cargo ships and oil tankers have stopped working. Wesley's own order.The same is true for the arsenal, but this time the four destroyers are not equipped with many weapons, so there is no need to hurry up, and the production can be done step by step, and the power company's marine power system needs to speed up.

Naturally, each shipyard has people in the navy. They quickly found out the instigator of this incident, but they did not overreact, because these people saw huge benefits.

The navy is in a period of great development, and they are not satisfied with the ships they are currently manufacturing. If Wesley Gibson can come up with a better ship, then they can also share it.

Don't look at Wesley expanding the shipyard, but a country's navy cannot be eaten by a shipyard, and Wesley will still have new designs and technologies, even if they can't get the core, but some side The corners are also good.

These capitalists were too shrewd and saw the benefits directly. Although they couldn't start work for three months, the losses were actually not that big. Compared with what they got, they were all small money.
