Blackstone Code

Chapter 888: Talk about a big business

On the morning after the cruise ship was discovered, senior navy officials, including the commissioner of the Ministry of Defense, participated in a conference call at the same time.

The person presiding over the conference call is not an active navy officer or an important member of the Ministry of National Defense, but an ordinary person from society, Lynch.

"...In the course of this incident, our navy has actually shown some fatal problems, such as our inability to quickly and effectively target enemies who may have invaded the federal waters."

Lynch’s speech silenced everyone on the phone line because he was telling the truth. The cruise ship was missing for six days, and the Navy found nothing in six days.

They mobilized almost 20 warships, large and small, to find this cruise ship, but they did not gain anything.

If it weren't for those of Lynch's planes that discovered the cruise ship first, they might still have to look for it for a while.

At this time, there was a rear admiral who 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, just We are not as good as you think."

"This is actually not our problem. It's like everyone knows that they need to call the police when they are in trouble, but the police can't be right next to everyone who needs the police. This requires a process."

"Even if there is no plane, we will find a cruise ship, 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 horizon can actually extend far, far away. In fact, the distance between the sea level and the sea horizon is not that far.

Sometimes, because of being "invisible", people feel that they are going in the wrong direction, so they change their direction and want to go to other places to see what happens when they finally miss the goal.

The laughter from Lynch made some admirals very upset. Some people wanted to propose ending this meaningless conference call, but the Vice Admiral, who was serving his sentence at home, spoke up.

"Go on, Lynch, I believe you are not just trying to complain to us by asking for this conference call."

Your Lieutenant Admiral’s words made all the generals who were listening on the phone terminal give up their ideas. Everyone knows that once the Lieutenant Admiral’s sentence ends, he must be the new Federal Admiral.

Even because he has the experience and qualifications of commanding federal warships to defeat the Gevlar invincible fleet, he will become the first real-power admiral in the history of the Federation.

The words of this kind of person have a lot of weight, at least they are more important to these generals and key officials of the Ministry of National Defense than Lynch's words.

"My Excellency Generals, you know more about the cruelty of war than I do. War will not allow us to compromise on time."

"If we spot the enemy early, we will be able to protect our Gulf cities and ports from military strikes."

"As soon as we lock onto the enemy, we can take the lead in launching an offensive and grasp the initiative in the war."

"The word'first' is very important to the war. The time when the cruise ship was hijacked also illustrates this point. If we call the aircraft for full coverage reconnaissance from the beginning, maybe I would have done it a few days ago. Has returned to federal land."

Your Excellency Lieutenant General agreed with this point of view. He knew the whole process of the search and rescue, and also knew that the aircraft was indeed of great use. "We have ordered two hundred aircraft, and then we will put them into the new warfare system as appropriate. middle."

"I'm not talking about this, the general, of course it has something to do with it."

"I heard that the plane flew back and forth many times during this period. If our plane can take off from more places, then it will definitely be more useful..."

"Just talk about your thoughts, Mr. Lynch. We are not good at playing word games with you capitalists. Let's be more direct."

Someone inserted his mouth, his voice was not young, at least he was also a naval officer like a major general.

Lynch chuckled a few times, "Well, to put it simply, my idea is to build a complete maritime reconnaissance area in the Atlantic and Eastern Oceans, and build more airports and ports to complete a quick response."

"Maybe we learned the news as soon as the Gevlar fleet left the port. When they didn't know anything about us, we were already waiting for them on the way."

"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, you might have known what happened to that cruise ship and where it was going to go a week ago!"

"And some additional supply ports can ensure that our fleet can be supplied or even repaired at any time, anywhere!"

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

Lynch’s words made all the admirals ponder. 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 also the root cause of the pirate ravages during this period.

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

Wherever you can hold it tightly, immediately switch to another place to discuss life.

As long as they can't catch up with them, can't stop them, there is no way to destroy them.

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

They stayed in the sea off the west coast of the Federation for so long without being discovered. Does it mean that in the past period of time, as long as they want, they can shell any city on the west coast at any time?

This is tantamount to being completely undefended!

The idea that Lynch put forward--

The use of planes to build a reconnaissance network covering the entire Atlantic and Eastern Oceans has made navy senior officials a little bit moved.

And they also saw the value of the aircraft through this incident, mainly because this thing flies too fast, faster than the cruiser, and many times faster!

Speed ​​is the key to victory in war.

Plus the port for replenishment at any time, something.

Before, Lynch mentioned this idea to the Lieutenant General, but the Lieutenant General did not know what the plane can do, so he did not give Lynch any answer.

Now he knows one thing, at least the speed of the airplane is extremely fast. The navy fleet went out and went back and forth, and the airplane had already traveled more than ten back and forth, and the speed was simply incomparable.

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

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

"First, we are not sure about the irreplaceability and necessity of the aircraft. Although it is indeed valuable to us in a certain way, this value is not enough for us to build a terrible budget specifically for it. "

"You have to show its irreplaceability and important value. It is not so easy to convince those people in Congress."

"Secondly, airplanes are a very new thing. It takes a long time to explore its specific usage. We can't fully develop it at the initial stage of exploration. This requires a process."

"Technology is advancing every day, and it may not be long before something new will replace it. I heard...The company's sky fortress plan is about to be completed, and we also need to compare."

The sky fortress is a very secret plan, and its core content is to build an "air battleship."

At least two dual main guns, this is the lowest indicator in the aerial fortress plan, but it is enough to make the federal military tempted.

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

The military has been supporting this top-secret plan, and many people believe that this is the real future, at least until Lynch’s plane is released.

It was also the first time that Lynch heard the name of this plan, but he didn't care at all, "There will be a small-scale armed battle in two days, and the plane will fight in concert with the safe ground offensive force of Blackstone."

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

"I don't know if the sky fortress 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 was over, everyone was recalling a series of events caused by the accident.

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

To his a little surprise, Lime did not answer the phone, and then he called the exchange again, and the exchange confirmed that his account does not currently have any problems.

With a tone of envy and jealousy, the manager let Lynch know that he has made a lot of money. When asked about Lime, the other party said that he had not seen him come to the exchange for two days~lightnovelpub.net~ The situation is actually very abnormal. In addition to not going to the exchange on rest days, Buppen's financial practitioners will stay on the exchange from morning to night.

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

Lime didn't show up for two days, he must have something wrong.

"Do you have any contact with the media here?" Lynch put down the phone and went back to the bedroom. The girl was still resting.

She hid in the ventilation duct for two days, during which she had to solve two personal problems. This kind of experience... is really rare.

So that her spirit has not recovered yet.

"You can call my agent, she knows how to do it."

Not long after, the West Coast media got a piece of news that Lynch was going to hold a personal press conference and there was big news to be announced!
