The defeat of the British Navy's home fleet shocked the whole country, and they could not imagine that the British Royal Navy would be defeated at the hands of the weakened fleet of the Germans, whom they had always regarded as a land nation.

At the same time, in the British Royal Navy, those admirals who have always supported aircraft carriers can be regarded as being able to breathe a sigh of relief under the suppression of the admirals who agree with the big ships and huge guns.

"We need larger aircraft carriers, especially our fleet needs stronger air defense."

With the increase of domestic voice, more anti-aircraft weapons have been installed on all British ports and warships. Not only were more 3-inch anti-aircraft guns installed on large ships, but the number of machine guns on each ship also increased exponentially.

But aircraft carriers, at a time when shipping was already beginning to be harassed by the German Navy, it was not easy to build aircraft carriers. Not to mention the actual design of the aircraft carrier, which is also still being debated.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force in France, Douglas. According to Haig, a batch of the latest anti-aircraft weapons from the MPM company was sold to the British Navy, and it was welcomed by the British Navy.

They were 4-pack long-barreled 12.7mm machine guns, and like other new weapons, MPM's new anti-aircraft machine guns were not only practical, but they also seemed to have known that the British would need them, and they sold them in huge quantities, plus their subsequent supply was enough for the British Navy.

Even if other weapons companies notice the need for air defense of warships and start designing and manufacturing, it will be too late. You must know that the weapons installed on a warship are not very different from those on ordinary carriers. Once a piece of equipment has been designed and customized, it is not easy to change it.

The number of warships of the British home fleet was so large that it was impossible to produce it in a short period of time.

In particular, the most satisfying thing for the British.

In the first few weeks of what British freight calls Black June, they can send out a large number of airships. Sending the British navy to the port outside the range of German artillery fire, or at night, was something they could not fail to be satisfied with.

Of course, since only he MPM Military-Industrial Group has obtained such a large order, it is natural that some people will come out and make irresponsible remarks. Including the appearance of the "Mosquito water attack aircraft" that they obtained from the fleet and which the Germans feared the British Navy.

"Look, the weapons that defeated our navy are so similar to the attack planes they supply, isn't there some ulterior connection in them?"

This time, no one stopped them from talking, and even the BBC British Radio in London published their comments, but they were immediately met with the commander of the British Navy's "Home Fleet". Admiral Jericho's taunt.

"Even if what you say is true, what will you do to fill the anti-aircraft firepower that our fleet needs? Do we use the Makqin (machine gun) of the infantry? If that's the case, we're happy to deal with the MPM military-industrial complex. Moreover, we British are a pragmatic collective, and those who say these things want to watch the British fleet suffer even greater losses, or even total annihilation, when it is once again confronted with those abominable 'bugs'? No, we need more and better weapons, and if we don't have the ability to do so, please shut up and work out better weapons! ”

As for why he is so angry at these people who "slander" the MPM military-industrial complex, it is because when Douglas . Haig asked him to watch the MPM military-industrial complex, and what he got from firing the "Raindrop" anti-aircraft fire system prompted him to do so. Of course it's not money, it's just a kind of battleship.

As for what is so attractive about this kind of battleship, it has to be learned from the perspective of John. Admiral Jericho that day with the British Expeditionary Force Douglas. General Haig said when they met.

"See, it's a very good long-range firepower, and even we ordered some with the intention of providing dense firepower for the infantry front."

Douglas. Haig whispered the weapon to the admiral, quietly observing his expression.

The other party was looking with great interest at the 4 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and the bullets fired caught up with a glider that was released by other planes and served as a target aircraft, and smashed it to pieces. His expression showed satisfaction with such firepower-intensive anti-aircraft weapons.

Douglas, who was waiting for this reaction. Haig immediately leaned forward, reached out and took a suitcase from the officer's hand, and placed it on the table to open.

"Mr. Admiral, I guess that the construction of many aircraft-loaded motherships at once, even if it is converted with merchant ships, is not a matter of time. But now we may have a way to solve this problem, and if you are interested, I would like you to meet someone or be able to solve this problem for you. ”

Hearing that there was a solution to the Royal Navy's lack of air power at sea caused John to have just suffered a defeat because of those hateful "bugs". Admiral Jericho's interest.

Now there was nothing more important for him than the defeat of the hateful "bugs" of the "Ocean Fleet" of the German Navy. Hence Douglas. As soon as Haig's words fell, John. Admiral Jericho had already screamed with surprise on his face.

"Really, Mr. Sir, do you really have a solution to this? How is this possible...... Oh, I'm sorry, I mean you're an army general, and I didn't mean to offend you. ”

"Oh, Mr. Admiral, you're absolutely right, I really don't have a better idea of that, and it was the guys from the MPM military-industrial complex who provided you with anti-aircraft fire that came up with it. Let's take a look at this little thing first, as far as I can see, the way they came up with it is not bad! Of course, it's up to you, a naval expert, to decide! ”

Douglas. Haig said as he opened the box, revealing what appeared to be a model, opening with his characteristic opening remarks.

"General, do you like to read novels? There was a writer in France named Jules. The people of Verne once envisioned a city that floated on the sea, you probably know......"

Douglas. In addition to reading detective novels, Haig also has a strong interest in science fiction. Verne's novel "The Island of Machines".

John. Admiral Jericho spread out the drawings and replied casually, "Yes, sir, you know that our sailors spend a lot of free time on battleships, and I have read that novel, but I don't believe anyone can make anything like that......"
