SHIELD's new recruits

After the assessment began, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion under the leadership of Wesley first accepted the inspection, basic formation, shooting, fighting, obstacle running, etc., and then began the subject of armed swimming.

"This is an armed swim, carrying [-] kilograms of equipment, swimming at least five kilometers, and in the sea." Wesley did not participate, but gave an explanation, after all, this is not a traditional subject.

"Is it necessary?" the President asked.

"Of course there is. For example, if we land on an island, we may not have a good landing place, so the first batch of soldiers need to sneak in this way, especially at night. The role of a brigade and six battalions on the island is It is conceivable. After landing, we will start fighting, clear up a small area and then expand it. At this time, our fleet is transporting the army to the island, so everything becomes much easier. In addition, we can sneak attack the enemy's back, which all It's a new tactic."

"It's not bad, it's really good." Perxing said happily, as he still has a soldier's vision.

"Then should it be assigned to the Navy?" William Benson suggested again.

"That's impossible." Pershing roared, and the two were about to start arguing again, but Wesley stopped them.

"You two don't need to quarrel. My battalion should not have a fixed ownership. After all, the landing needs to cooperate with the navy, and then there will be battles on land. It is still in the experimental stage. It is good for us to study this issue in the future. After all, we need to Some special equipment, such as landing craft and landing craft."

"What's that?" Everyone asked curiously.

"A special landing ship, specially used for landing. I already have shooting for this. If I pass this assessment, then I will place an order to start producing some, and then use it for training."

"A new type of ship?" William Benson asked.

"Yes, I have now designed some auxiliary ships, such as medical ships, amphibious landing ships, landing craft, etc. These are very useful auxiliary ships that provide reliable support for the navy and landing forces, but they are not manufactured yet. At the moment, we need to meet the needs of our two capital fleets and then produce them."

"So how many capital ships do you think we need in total?" the President asked.

"First of all, we don't need to dispatch the navy in this war. The British navy should lose more, which is beneficial to us. If we can develop like the Pacific Ocean in the early stage of the war, then eight battleships are enough, because there are still a lot of warships. With the support of heavy cruisers, it is enough to deter the Pacific Ocean, and after World War I, the United Kingdom will inevitably raise the issue of restricting the development of the navies of various countries, and they cannot afford to spend it.”

"It makes sense, the premise is that the war will last for a long time."

"Do you know in a few months? At present, the UK's strategic reserves can only last for a few months, and a large number of orders will come soon. However, it is necessary to organize production well, and we must not let the parliament's The guy is messing around and negotiating directly in a country-to-country model."

The President looked at Wesley and asked, "So how many orders are you going to get?"

"I don't need it. What they need are rifles and bullets that I can't produce, so I just concentrate on preparing them for the army, and my transportation company will get the business." Wesley said with a smile.

"No wonder you set up such a big shipping company and rented ports in England and France." Everyone suddenly realized that this major is going to make a lot of money in the war, and his company has a lot of money, and he will always make money. Money, especially steel.

The president looked at Wesley and asked, "So where is our entry point for Asian things?"

"Qingdao." Wesley said directly, "This is occupied by Germany, but they completely lost it at the beginning of the battle. Japan will inevitably jump out, and China has no ability to contend. At this time, we can use Participate as a neutral country and ask to be managed here. First organize a squadron here. I can let the shipyard speed up the progress. At that time, four battleships and four heavy cruisers will be enough to deter Japan. Japan and Britain, even if France joins it, it doesn’t matter of."

"Our warships really have such a high combat power?" the president asked.

"Yes, first of all, we have a complete advantage in the combat distance. Although the 305mm main gun is not the largest caliber now, it has the longest multiple diameter, especially the agreed fire control system. The hit rate is also very high. We It is completely possible to fight against the opponent, and at the same time, we can maintain high-speed navigation during the battle. The power of the new armor-piercing projectile has been tested. Japan is not an opponent. If they dare to go to war, they will directly destroy their fleet and surround their homeland.”

I really hate it, did this young major maim Japan?The president hesitated and asked again: "What about the attitude of the British?"

"Britain? What attitude can they have? Now they can't take care of themselves, and do they dare to go to war with us? It's not worth it for a Japan, especially after a few months, they will directly come to us to sell them, war We may not be able to get much benefit in the future. Britain will inevitably limit our development with France and Russia, so our best time is during the war. You must know that Germany has a lot of islands in the Pacific Ocean. If we get these, then we will completely A defensive barrier can be built."

This sentence is the most attractive. As the president, he has considered a lot, especially the importance of a sea barrier to the United States. It is conceivable, "The results of this assessment are very good, but I can only award you the rank of colonel. , responsible for forming the first brigade of marines, and will increase the establishment in half a year, and I hope you can make a contribution by then."

"Yes, Mr. President." Everyone has seen the results of the assessment. This is the most advanced unit in the United States at present. In addition to the three divisions in the experiment, the establishment of 12500 divisions was directly increased, all of which required full staffing, and Wesley received a large number of orders.

Fortunately, he has already started to reserve, so he does not need to rush to expand production, but to produce in an orderly manner according to the plan. At the same time, the production of battleships has accelerated, and heavy cruisers have been handed over to the navy for training.

And the navy once again placed orders for heavy cruisers to other shipyards, and at the same time requested to speed up production, everything is preparing for war, and Wesley's words have been confirmed again, Japan. Japan declared war on Germany, and proposed war on Qingdao requirements.
