The president and the Department of Defense have put aside the conversation and asked Alice to act as an adviser to advise on a new naval system. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, such a thing can not be formed by anyone's words, so on the night of deciding on this matter, she immediately started work in the hotel room and wrote a long report.

This is related to the combat system of the entire US Navy for at least 20 years after the end of the Cold War, and it is the largest structural reform since World War II. So, from the White House, down to Capitol Hill, to the bureaucrats of the Department of Defense, and many generals in the Navy and Air Force, there are countless joints that need to be opened. In addition to the normal network management, it has to rely on the quality of the report documents to work.

As for how to write this report, Alice is very clear.

Since the end of the Cold War, the threat of the former Soviet Union to the United States' maritime supremacy in the oceans has decreased dramatically, but regional conflicts have increased dramatically. The new threat of the United States, the Chinese Navy is still in the construction period, and it still does not have the ability to fully confront it. Therefore, the US Navy's strategic approach naturally needs to evolve from the oceanic naval battles of the Cold War to the projection of force on land in order to cope with the disrupting regional conflicts.

Therefore, Alice first wrote a strategic white paper on "From Sea to Land" that was supposed to be jointly issued by the Commander of the U.S. Navy, the Chief of Naval Operations, and the Commander of the U.S. Marine Corps in September 1992.

The contents of the white paper are mainly aimed at the ability to project force against coastal targets, control coastal and inland strategic sea routes, and the ability to project force on the ground, including strengthening the coordinated operation of the naval fleet and the Marine Corps, establishing a maritime expeditionary force to conduct joint operations with the army and air force, and so on.

The second document is the "21 st Century Destroyer Technology Research," which is coordinated with the concept of "surface warfare in the 21 st century" and the concept of "forward -- from sea to land." Near-shore operations and support for ground attacks are included as one of the main tasks of the navy, and the fleet is specifically required to be able to support ground forces 100 nautical miles deep on land, and new concepts such as "forward presence," "forward deployment," and "forward operations" are proposed.

After that, Alice's first job was completed, two large papers were handed in, and then what she had to do was done.

Thinking about it, I also know that Bush Sr. and others could not have imagined that they would be able to write so many things in one night. Therefore, as long as the content of the report is accurate, and it is particularly in line with the current background of the times instead of stupidly copying the year 92, it is impossible for the military people not to be led by her!

After the paperwork is done, it's time to hand in the work, and that's something that can only be done tomorrow. Alice sat in front of the computer and turned her head to look at the time, there was still a long time before the early morning, and if she didn't do anything more, her little heart, which had just been stirring, would not be able to calm down.

Let's design specific weapons and equipment.

Umbrella Security is already basically qualified as an arms dealer, and at least now it is able to provide Grizzly armored vehicles to the Ministry of Defense, but the production is limited.

There is a good saying that arms dealers who do not pit the Pentagon are not good businessmen.

In the same way, it is a fool to give the really most cutting-edge things to the state.

For half a year, Northrop Grumman has been integrating with Alice's corporate system, such as its latest shipyard, a joint venture with Hutchison Whampoa, located somewhere in California. As a veteran warship manufacturer, submarine manufacturer, radar supplier and military aircraft developer, it is absolutely capable of completing many of the design products proposed by Alice as a benefit of opening a small stove.

The envisaged arsenal ships have many shortcomings, and although their firepower is incomparably powerful, they rely extremely high on the integrated reconnaissance system. In order to make it perfect, Alice asked herself about her design ability, but the price of selling it to the US military was undoubtedly unacceptable. Therefore, in line with the principle of external supply of second-rate products, she thought about it and felt that it was more reliable to directly build Zumwalt-class.

After looking at the engineering quantity of each part of the ship, she first drew the advanced naval gun system on the computer. i.e. the design of the AGS.

Since the beginning of the era of aviation and missiles, the main work of the navy to project force on land has fallen on aircraft and missiles that can accurately strike enemy targets over long distances, and traditional naval artillery bombardment has been shelved due to the decline of combat ships. However, on a number of occasions, the use of expensive and relatively scarce missiles is not sufficient or cost-effective.

For example, if it encounters a large area of fortifications of the enemy's land forces, rather than targets such as radar stations, it is often not suitable to use missiles that are known for their "point points" because their individual value is not high enough. In this case, large-caliber naval guns that can quickly pour large quantities of ammunition into an area are more mission-specific and cost-effective. In addition, the shells are smaller in size and have a higher firepower density than missiles, allowing the ship to store more firepower.

The current naval guns of the US military have the problem of being out of gear. In the just-concluded Gulf War, the battleship Missouri's nine huge guns were fired twice, and the Iraqi fortifications on the shore were completely destroyed.

Alice knew that before Zumwalt's AGS naval guns were born, the Admiralty had spent several days looking for a replacement. If you think about it, you also know that from discovering problems, to analyzing problems, to proposing solutions, to solving problems, and then to actually solving problems, even if the whole process is formed at one time, those bureaucrats will have to spend years of time.

So, let her just save that time.

The production of the design begins.

AGS uses a multi-angle turret with a highly stealthy design, the entire turret has an empty weight of 87.5 tons, a 155mm barrel with a diameter of 62 times, a capacity of 29.5 liters in the chamber, a barrel pitch range of -5~+71 degrees, and a maximum rate of fire of about 10~12 rounds per minute, which is equivalent to the total firepower of six army 155mm guns.

At the same time, the initial kinetic energy of the AGS shell is three times higher than that of the U.S. military's replacement after the Missouri cannon. Moreover, it has the ability to hit multiple shells at the same time, that is, through different firing parameters, 4~6 shells of a gun can land at the same time at a distance of 75 nautical miles. In this way, the equipping of two AGS on a Zumwalt ship can make 8~12 shells land at the same time, and the firepower is equivalent to a US Marine Corps artillery battalion composed of six M-777-155mm howitzers!

The whole design took an hour to complete, and at this moment the time was stuck at twenty-three o'clock in the evening, and Alice slumped into the computer chair with great satisfaction.

Well, the people at the Admiralty will be crazy.

But before offering this technology, it is necessary to confirm the production capacity of Northrop Grumman in the field of naval artillery.

Although there is no doubt about the basic industrial level, soft skills such as engineers and product production experience still need to be tested.

Oh yes, and the design of the cannonball magazine.

I just wanted to do it, but considering that it was getting late, Alice decided to wash and sleep.

And so, a late night passed quickly.

The first thing she did when she woke up the next day was to get in a car to the Pentagon and deliver the documents she had written overnight. The fat man is not eaten in one bite, just let the military people digest the contents of the document, and then let them fight with the people on Capitol Hill, it is enough for a while. The politicians' business is left to the politicians to solve, Alice walked out of the Pentagon on the front foot, and rushed to the nearby Washington airport on the back foot, taking off and heading into the sky.

But not to Los Angeles.

Across the Atlantic, the Boeing 747 headed for London.

It's time to go public.

Now that she has boarded the ship to build a new navy, she will have more places to spend money in the future, especially for the Gulf War, and the batch of arms she purchased is also very expensive, and this is the time when loans are flying all over the sky. If you are short of money, you need to raise money, think about the recent development results of the umbrella, and let it go public is also expected.

In line with the intention of not putting all the eggs in one basket, let it be listed in London.

On the plane, Alice had sent a series of documents from the Roswell Building.

Up to now, Umbrella has acquired and established 17 pharmaceutical companies, including three in the United Kingdom and 14 in other European countries. After all, the establishment of the European Union is close at hand, and the British are not sure to make a fuss about Brexit in the future, so it is a wise choice to put a large force in the core area.

As for the market size and revenue, as long as you estimate how many obese patients in Europe are, and then divide it by a hypothetical proportional value, it can really come out.

Medicine has always been a product that the people can't live without, but it is very far away from the people. How many people will care about which company instigates hemp? This is really hard to say, because most people only recognize the instigation of hemp itself, just like many Chinese like Jiuzhitang and Tongrentang's medicines and health products, and also know the background of these two time-honored brands, but how many will investigate and pay attention to their business situation and industry scale?

It's an interesting question.

The listing of a company is a process of raising funds from the public, that is, taking the public route. Like Apple, its peak market value of 800 billion is purely supported by mobile phones, just ask anyone who is crazy if they lack love, will they be really crazy, but it is so high. On the other hand, Lockheed, obviously those F-35, F-22 and various missile satellites are all top-level products, but its company market value is only about 30 billion.

The reason for this distinction is simple - that is, the people do not bird you.

Alice knew that if she let the former Blackwater, now Umbrella Security, go public, it would be good to be able to make up a billion dollars in market value. But if it's umbrella medicine......

Well, it shouldn't be difficult to cross 100 billion, right?

As long as the anti-cancer drug comes out.

Alice is a big believer in the potential of the I-virus.
