SHIELD's new recruits

Zhu Erdian took Ri Zhiyi and followed Reigns to Qingdao Island. They wanted to see what the latest American warship looked like. Why was Reigns so confident?

In fact, Rui Ensi didn't know at all, but the domestic told him to be strong, we have the latest warship and it's over, he doesn't know how new it is, but he will still be strong, and he is very strong, without any face To Zhurdian.

The [-]th and [-]th Marine Brigades, the [-]st Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the [-]st Engineer Brigade have already landed, and taking over security, barracks, and forts is the top priority. Afterwards, the fleet is divided into four squadrons, each with two warships .Two squadrons entered the port to rest, while the other two patrolled outside. This was Wesley's instruction. Be careful of sneak attacks, the little guys have this habit.

William Benson obeyed, and the fleet's training was insufficient, and the response in wartime may not be fast enough, so he also strictly followed Wesley's instructions.The four battleships parked in the port all have hull numbers, 101, 102, 103, and 104, a total of four ships, and the other four are patrolling at sea. This is the latest naming method of the US Navy.

Originally, we wanted Wesley, the designer, to name the battleships, but Wesley thought it was too troublesome, so he directly replaced them with numbers. Battleships start with 1, heavy cruisers start with 2, and so on.

Melvadik is a German naval captain. He knows about ships. When he came to the port, he saw the fleet parked at the berth from a distance. "This is a Dreadnought-class battleship, but the layout has changed a lot."

"That's right, they are all arranged along the central axis, with a total of three fully enclosed turrets and triple-mounted main guns." William Benson didn't hide anything. His purpose was to let the Germans know, although it's a bit late now.

"I really didn't expect that you, the United States, have such a large battleship. Although it is not the largest, it looks very effective in combat. It may not be lost to the British."

"The British? They are not our opponents. In the era of broadside fighting, do they have the firepower of that warship and can it be compared with our battleship?"

"This is not the case. Although it adopts a full-heavy artillery structure, the distribution is different from yours. Your structure is more compact, and even the number of chimneys is reduced to one. It is a great design."

"Go up and have a look!"

After the Germans visited, they had no way to convey the news. After all, they were disarmed, and they had to have the consciousness of being a prisoner. William Benson began to train the fleet, and a few days later, the dusty Raines took Zhu Erdian and Rizhiyi came to Qing. Island.

"General, welcome to Huaxia." Raines got off the train and saw William Benson at the front of the welcoming team.

"Mr. Envoy, thank you for your hard work." A pun, not only talking about the journey to Qingdao Island, but also the dealings before the arrival of the US fleet.

"This is what I should do. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhu Erdian, the British Minister, and Mr. Hikimasa, the Japanese Minister. They really want to see our American fleet. What do you think?"

"Oh, it's really nothing. Although it's our cutting-edge warship, countries from all over the world are welcome to come and communicate. Would you like to take a break first?" William Benson also didn't care, because the advantages of appearance cannot be kept secret, especially It's such a big battleship, so let them take a look at it directly, even if they look at the interior, they don't understand it.

"Let's take a look now!" Hioki Masaaki couldn't wait anymore, he was eager to know the combat effectiveness of the American warships, so as to provide information for the country's reference.

William Benson led a group of people to the port in an army jeep, which was produced by Wesley's automobile factory.Zhu Erdian didn't feel very good about the new cars of the U.S. military, because the U.S. had already surpassed the U.K. in some respects. In his words, this was not in the interests of the British Empire.

When I came to the port, I saw four battleships headed by 105 parked quietly in the port, and there were other warships in the distance. After a rest, the patrol team was replaced.

Masayoshi Hiki frowned and looked at the battleship in the distance. The first thing he felt was the beautiful, clean layout. Although he only saw the side, he basically knew the whole picture. It must be a symmetrical layout.The tonnage exceeds [-] tons, and they only have one King Kong-class battlecruiser that can fight against it. The other battleships are all under construction, and the rest are either pre-dreadnought or armored cruisers. Is it possible?

Hijimasu was silent, and Zhu Erdian was also silent. Although these warships are nothing to the British, they are indeed cutting-edge warships in terms of layout and artillery, and they may have already reached the front of the British.Although the UK is not afraid in terms of numbers, now the UK has no way to concentrate its main force against the Americans, and although the Americans can use this fleet to stab the UK in the back.

This is the Pacific Fleet, and there is an Atlantic Fleet. How is the situation there?Zhu Erdian has already reported to the country once, hoping that the country will pay attention to it, and at the same time collect intelligence on the US Navy.

The two boarded the No. 105 battleship with different purposes, and then visited it. The key areas were kept secret, but the other places were enough for them to see. The two got off the ship with a look of depression on their faces. After looking around, I saw heavy patrol No. 205.

"General, is that a battlecruiser?" Hiaki asked.

"No, that's our heavy cruiser."

"Heavy cruiser?" Hiki Masaki didn't know the difference inside, but the triple-mounted main gun, with a tonnage of nearly [-] tons, looked like a battle cruiser no matter how you looked at it.Japan's fleet construction plan has been started for a few years, but now it is not known how long it will be until it is completed. The only King Kong-class battlecruiser King Kong is the treasure of the navy. It seems that Qingdao Island is hopeless.

Zhu Erdian and Hiji Masaki didn't even have a meal, and directly boarded the train again to return to the capital. They were eager to send news to the country, and William Benson didn't care about their behavior, and directly entertained Rui Ensi to the Governor's Mansion.

"General, why did the domestic situation suddenly change?" Raines asked hastily after sitting down.

"Hehe, we have a genius. The warships you see and the weapons of the soldiers are all invented by him. He not only invented weapons, but also has more patents in his hands. He is also a genius in business. He was the one who persuaded the country to change the policy."

"Oh? There is such a person? It's really amazing that he can persuade Congress to change its strategy."

"Yeah, it's very powerful. He has been satirizing those congressmen when he was speaking in Congress, but now those congressmen and the consortium behind them are studying his speech. Can you believe it?"
