Chapter 888 Talking about a big business ]
The morning after the cruise ship was spotted, Navy top brass, including defense commissioners, were simultaneously on a conference call.

The person who presided over the conference call was not an active-duty officer of the Navy, nor an important member of the Ministry of Defense, but an ordinary person from the society, Lynch.

"...During the course of this incident, our navy has actually shown some fatal problems. For example, we cannot quickly and effectively target enemies who may have invaded federal waters."

Lynch's speech kept everyone on the phone line silent, because he told the truth. The cruise ship disappeared for six days, and the navy found nothing in six days.

They mobilized almost twenty large and small warships to look for the cruise ship, but they didn't find anything.

If Lynch's planes hadn't been the first to discover the cruise ship, they might still have to look for it for a while.

At this time, a rear admiral wanted to restore the current situation that is not conducive to the navy, "Mr. Lynch, I know that you, as one of the victims, are very angry now, but this does not mean that our navy has done nothing, it just We're not as good as you think."

"This is actually not our problem. It seems that everyone knows that they should call the police when they are in trouble, but the police cannot immediately appear beside everyone who needs the police. This requires a process."

"Even if there is no plane, we will find the cruise ship, and it will not take much time."

His speech was affirmed by many senior military officers. People who have never been to sea will never know what the real sea looks like.

Many people think that the sea level can actually extend far, far away. In fact, the distance between the sea level and the sea level is not that far away.

Sometimes even because "invisible" gives people a feeling of going in the wrong direction, they change direction and want to go to other places to see what happened that ultimately missed the target.

The laughter from Lynch made some admirals very upset. Some people wanted to propose to end this meaningless conference call, but the vice admiral, who was serving his sentence at home, spoke out.

"Go ahead, Lynch, I believe you're asking for this call not just to whine at us."

His words from the lieutenant general made all the generals who were listening on the phone terminals give up their thoughts just now. Everyone knows that once the sentence of the lieutenant general is over, he must be the new admiral of the Federation.

Even because of his experience and qualifications in commanding federal warships to defeat Gefra Armada, he will become the first admiral with real power in the history of the federation.

The words of such a person carry a lot of weight, at least more weight than Lynch's words for these generals and important officials of the Ministry of National Defense.

"Your Excellencies, you are more aware of the cruelty of war than I am. War will not allow us to compromise on time."

"By spotting the enemy early, we can keep our Gulf cities and ports safe from military strikes."

"Locating the enemy earlier, we can take the lead in launching an attack and grasp the initiative in the war."

"The word 'leading' is very important to a war, and the time when the cruise ship was hijacked also shows this point. If we had called up the aircraft to conduct comprehensive reconnaissance from the very beginning, maybe I would have done it a few days ago. have returned to Commonwealth soil."

Your Excellency the Lieutenant General recognized this point of view. He knew the whole process of the search and rescue, and he also knew that the planes were indeed of great use. "We have ordered two hundred planes, and we will put them into the new war system as appropriate. middle."

"That's not what I'm talking about, Your Excellency, of course it has something to do with it."

"I heard that the plane has flown back and forth many times during this period. If our plane can take off from more places, then it will definitely be able to play a more useful role..."

"Say what you think directly, Mr. Lynch, we are not good at playing word games with you capitalists, so let's be more direct."

Someone interjected, the voice was not young, at least he was a naval officer like a major general.

Lynch chuckled a little, "Well, to put it simply, my idea is to establish a complete sea area reconnaissance area on the Atlantic and Eastern Oceans, and build more airports and ports to complete a quick response."

"Perhaps we got the news as soon as the Gefla fleet left the port. We were already waiting for them halfway when they didn't know anything about us."

"The asymmetry of information can provide us with more opportunities and probabilities to defeat the enemy. Gentlemen, if our planes are all over the Atlantic Ocean, you may know what happened to that cruise ship and where it will go a week ago!"

"And some additional supply ports can ensure that our fleet can be supplied and even repaired anytime, anywhere!"

"Once the war breaks out, we will establish an unparalleled and huge advantage!"

Lynch's words made all the admirals fall into thinking. The biggest problem with this search and rescue cruise ship was that it could not be found.

No one knows where it went, which is the fundamental reason why pirates were rampant during this period.

They don't have a base camp, so they can go wherever they like.

If there is a tight grip, immediately change to another place to make a living.

As long as you can't catch up with them and stop them, you can't eliminate them.

At the same time, this also reflects the backwardness of the war response mechanism. What if this cruise ship is an enemy warship, or even a battle group?

They have stayed in the sea off the west coast of the Commonwealth for so long without being discovered. Does it mean that during the past period of time, as long as they want, they can bombard any city on the west coast at any time?
This is tantamount to complete defenselessness!

Lynch came up with this idea——

Using aircraft to form a reconnaissance network covering the entire Atlantic and Eastern Oceans made the Navy's top executives a little moved.

And they also saw the value of the plane through this incident, mainly because this thing flies too fast, faster than a cruiser, and it is many times faster!
Speed ​​is the key to victory in war.

Add to that the port of resupply at any time, and there's something.

Lynch mentioned this idea to the Lieutenant General before, but the Lieutenant General did not understand what the aircraft can do, so he did not give Lynch any answer.

Now he knows one thing, at least the speed of the plane is extremely fast. The navy fleet went out to go back and forth, and the plane has already made more than ten round trips, and the speed is simply incomparable.

In addition, the plane is said to be able to drop bombs, which can also play a key role in attacking the enemy's warships. Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, is already a little tempted.

He thought for a while and said, "Now there are two more questions."

"One, we're not sure about the irreplaceability and necessity of the aircraft, and while it does have value to us in a way, it's not worth enough to justify building a horrible budget just for it. "

"You have to show that it's irreplaceable and important, and it's not that easy to convince those people in Congress."

"Secondly, the aircraft is a very new thing, and it will take a long time to explore its specific usage. It is impossible for us to fully develop it in the initial stage of exploration, which requires a process."

"Technology is improving every day, and it may not be long before new things will replace it. I heard... the company's sky fortress project is about to be completed, and we need to compare."

Sky Fortress is a very secretive plan, and its core content is to build "sky battleships".

At least two dual-linked main guns, this is the lowest indicator in the sky fortress plan, but it is enough to tempt the federal military.

Once this thing flies over the enemy, there is nothing to restrict it anymore.

The military has been supporting this top-secret program, and many people believe that this is the real future, at least until Lynch's aircraft came out, they believed so.

Lynch also heard the name of this plan for the first time, but he didn't care at all, "There will be a small-scale armed battle in two days. At that time, the aircraft will cooperate with Blackstone's security ground attack force."

"At that time, you will be able to see the specific function of the aircraft, which is definitely not as simple as you imagined."

"I don't know if Fortress in the Sky is the one I know. If it is, I can only say that it is a wrong future, and airplanes are the real future!"

After the connection ended, everyone was recalling the series of events caused by this accident.

Lynch, on the other hand, called Lime, and he had to ask if his account was full.

To his slight surprise, Lime didn't answer the phone, and then he called the exchange, which confirmed that there was no problem with his account.

The manager let Lynch know that he had made a lot of money in a slightly envious tone. When asked about Lime, the other party said that he hadn't seen him come to the exchange for two days.

This situation is actually very abnormal. Apart from not going to the exchange on rest days, Bu Pain's financial practitioners will stay in the exchange from morning till night.

Some financial companies even directly rent the floors or rooms of the exchange, and arrange their own companies in the exchange.

Rhyme didn't show up for two days, something must have happened to him.

"Do you have any contact with the media here?" After Lynch put down the phone, he returned to the bedroom, where the girl was still resting.

She spent two days hiding in a vent, and had to deal with two personal issues during that time, which was... a rare experience.

So much so that her spirit has not recovered yet.

"You can give my agent a call, she knows what to do."

Not long after, the media on the west coast got a message that Lynch was going to hold a personal press conference, and there was big news to be announced!
