Port of Guantanamo.

The two armed merchant ships, the Water Hound and the Great White Shark, are making their final replenishments, and when they are done, they will go directly to the port of Nassau.

The Water Hound and the Great White Shark were both armed merchant ships registered in the port of Santiago and were the first armed merchant ships of the United States of Cuba.

It is precisely because of this "first" that the "Water Hound" and the "Great White Shark" have attracted many attention, including many high-ranking officers of the US Navy.

On the battery outside the harbor, Guantanamo Navy Commander Michelin Hubble sounded careless, but in fact his binoculars were staring at the "Water Hound" and "Jaws".

Not only is it good, the "Water Hound" and the "Great White Shark" are both new ships that use propeller propulsion, and there are few such new ships in the US Navy, so it is naturally impossible to deploy them in Guantanamo.

The overall military building policy of the United States is still inclined to defense, the speed of weapon renewal is very slow, and there are still sail warships in service in the navy more than ten years ago, and this new type of ship like the propeller propulsion can only be purchased by local tyrant units such as the New York Customs.

"It's not bad, you don't know what kind of artillery they're equipped with, otherwise I'd bet you'd have the heart to detain the ship now." Guantanamo Governor Green Giles seized the opportunity to apply eye drops.

Green Giles and Li Mu have a close relationship, the horse weapons company has developed a new type of artillery, and it must win a certain number of army orders to make money, because the number of people in the army is too small, it is unrealistic to want to open a breakthrough from the army, so Li Mu still pins his hopes on the navy, Li Mu believes that as long as there are enough naval officers interested in rapid-fire guns, then it will definitely prompt the US Navy to set off a wave of replacing equipment.

All the naval guns currently used by the US Navy warships are still old-fashioned guns, which have great limitations, such as small caliber, slow rate of fire, too much recoil, etc., compared with the new barrel guns, the guns are like medieval spears, and the tubes are the latest shotguns.

The biggest bottleneck restricting the withdrawal of the artillery is the recoil, because the recoil is too large, so it is impossible to develop large-caliber artillery, and the large-caliber artillery will destroy the structure of the warship when used, that is to say, if you can't shoot a few shots, the whole ship will be shaken apart, which is a standard seven-wound fist.

The recoil of the tube is not the same, the recoil of the tube is absorbed by the brake to the greatest extent, making it possible to develop large-caliber artillery, and if it does not have the support of the Admiralty, the Horse Arms Company is not ready to develop large-caliber naval guns, anyway, if it is only used to equip armed merchant ships, it is enough to have a 75 mm rapid-fire gun.

"You mean the 75mm infantry rapid-fire gun, hehe, it is not known whether this kind of gun can be transplanted to warships, and what can a 75mm gun do? Is it used to tickle a warship? "Michelin Hubble looked down on the Army, and even more so on the Army's equipment, which is a common problem of all naval officers.

Compared with the army, the navy is a standard high-tech service, and the army in this year also advocates crowd tactics, the main weapon of the navy is artillery, and artillery is called the "scientist service", so the army...

Thinking of the Army, Michelin Hubble's mind quickly sketched a man dressed in an earthy yellow military uniform covered in holes, carrying a tattered flintlock pistol, and a gray face all over his body.

How can this kind of beggar-like class of troops be compared to the navy?

There is no comparison at all.

As a senior officer in the Navy, Michelin Hubble certainly knew about the 75mm infantry rapid-fire gun, as the first artillery produced in the United States, the 75mm infantry rapid-fire gun integrates a number of advanced technologies, and is currently the most advanced artillery in the world.

"The Horse Arms Company has established a cooperative relationship with the German Krupp Artillery Company, and the 75mm infantry rapid-fire gun was developed by them in cooperation, you can look down on the 75mm infantry rapid-fire gun, but you may not know that Krupp has begun to develop the 210mm gun, if the 75mm gun is not qualified to board the warship, then the 210mm gun is qualified?" Green Giles didn't believe that Michelin Hubble didn't take the bait, in fact, Krupp's 210mm gun also represents the latest technology in the world today, if you can't even look at this, then there is no weapon that Michelin Hubble can look at.

"210 mm, is this news confirmed?" Michelin Hubble was certainly interested, the 75-mm gun was indeed weak, but the 210-mm gun was not weak at all, if the Guantanamo Navy could have a warship armed with 210-mm guns ...

Oh oh, that picture is so beautiful, I can't think about it.

"Of course I'm sure, this is news from within the Horse Arms Company, you know, they are partners, but we don't have this demand now, so the Horse Arms Company has not further cooperated with the Germans." Greens sat firmly on the fishing platform, slowly casting the bait little by little.

"No demand? What nonsense, how could the Navy not need naval guns? This is simply a fantasy, the leaders of the Horse Arms Company are too short-sighted, how can they do this? It's a crime..."Michelin Hubble was furious, and in his opinion, if the U.S. Navy loses the opportunity to increase its strength because of the failure of the Horse Arms Company, then the leaders of the Horse Arms Company should be taken to court.

However, the Horse Arms Company...

It seems to belong to the Horse Group!

Michelin Hubble was immediately speechless, and if so, it would not be easy to bring the leaders of the Horse Arms Company to court.

Although Michelin Hubble is far away in Guantanamo, he also understands the power of the Kufma Group, which is not something that any one person can shake.

At least Michelin Hubble can't shake it!

"The leaders of the Horse Arms Company are businessmen, and no matter what they do, the first thing they have to measure is business interests, so you can't measure them with too high moral standards." Green Giles stood in Li Mu's position and spoke, not to mention any patriotism at this time, it doesn't make sense.

In fact, the United States also has ideological and political work, and patriotism is an important aspect of it, and all Americans have been instilled to be loyal to the United States since childhood, and those new immigrants, when they become American citizens, have to pat their chests and swear.

Of course, patriotism is not unconditional, the United States of America will not treat anyone who sheds blood for her, then business activities are the same, there is a pay, there is a reward, you can't expect a businessman to pay out of his own pocket to help the country improve its military strength, this is unrealistic.

Michelin Hubble also understands this truth, and wants the horse to run, and the horse to stop grazing, how can there be such a good thing.

"210-mm naval guns ... 210 mm naval guns..."Michelin Hubble kept repeating this phrase, no longer bothering to look at the armed merchant ships moored in the military harbor.

God, it's pitiful, Michelin Hubble's flagship is equipped with a 120-mm naval gun, if it is replaced with a 210...

"If the 210 ship gun is developed, then how much is it estimated to cost?" Michelin Hubble decided to give it a try, and if he tried at least, he might succeed, but if he didn't, he would never succeed.

"No matter how much money is needed, it is estimated that it will not be available this year." Green Giles tells the truth.

Before the beginning of each fiscal year, the military first makes a budget for the next year, and then submits it to the presidential palace, and then the president submits it to the National Assembly for approval.

Although sometimes if there is an accident, there will be a temporary increase in funding, but the total amount of additional funds is also limited, and I have to endure the strict review of those misers in the Diet, so it is estimated that there will be no money to set up the project this year.

And if the project cannot be established this year, then it will have to be pushed to the next fiscal year, so that it will be pushed back year after year, and when the 210-mm naval gun is successfully developed, it is estimated that the 310 of the Germans has already come out.

I can't keep up with one step, I can't keep up with one step at a time.

"It doesn't matter, we can also buy technology directly from the Germans." Michelin Hubble wanted to open it, anyway, it would cost money to develop it yourself, and how good it would be to buy technology directly, and there would be no need to waste time.

"No, no, no, you don't know Rim of the Horse Group, he will never spend money to buy any technology, know the Horse Laboratory, that is Rim founded it, so spending money on technology may be normal for others, but it is a shame for Rim." Green Giles understands Li Mu's consistent style, so he will take the vaccination first.

"If he doesn't buy it, just let him do his own research, and we can build a factory ourselves." Michelin Hubble said it lightly, as if the artillery factory was the cabbage in the market.

"You should be honest as your naval commander, building a factory is not as easy as you imagined, land, plant, machinery and equipment, skilled workers, abundant funds, sufficient raw materials, etc., etc., the complexity is no less than organizing a large-scale campaign, so it is better to leave this kind of thing to someone like Reem to do." Green Giles smiled dumbly, with the current strength of the Horse Group in the United States, he wanted to build a new weapons factory, build one and die.

"Okay, I'll admit I'm not good at it, but I have something I'm good at, and I'll send a report when I get back later, whatever, then you need new warships, a lot of new warships, and new warships with large-caliber guns." Crying children have milk, and Michelin Hubble decided to start with what he does best.

"That's right, I can also make a report, Guantanamo has been attacked by pirates in a row, and the dignified U.S. Navy can't even eliminate a few pirates because of weapons, which is simply a shame." Green Giles's words were a bit of a scolding of Mulberry, and Michelin Hubble was flushed.

"What does it mean to be harassed? Do those pirates dare to harass Guantanamo? Lend them a guts. Michelin Hubble was dissatisfied, if Green Giles handed over this report, then Michelin Hubble would not have to make a report, even if there were new warships equipped with 210 mm guns, it would not be Michelin Hubble's turn to use her as a flagship.

"Okay okay, I won't write that, I will only say that in order to meet the requirements of the United States of Cuba, we need to equip newer and more powerful warships." Green Giles immediately changed his tune, he and Michelin Hubble were the top administrator of Guantanamo and the other was the top military governor of Guantanamo, and the two of them could not tear each other down.

Some time ago, the United States of Cuba did ask the U.S. Navy at Guantanamo to exterminate pirates, but Michelin Hubble was also a clever woman who could not cook without rice, and the Guantanamo Navy was poorly equipped, and it was almost always a sexual force, and it could bluff people when it was parked in the military port, and once it was pulled out of the military port, it would be completely exposed.

At 2 p.m., the Water Hound and Jaws finished their resupply and continued to Nassau, where they are expected to arrive in Nassau at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning.

There was less and less time left for Cruise.

At the same time, on Pig Island, only ten kilometers away from Lhasa, Cruise finally waited for his most powerful subordinate stone.

"Head, we're all ready, and with your command, I can guarantee that when the sun rises tomorrow, the skulls will be stuck all over the city and port of Nassau." Stone was eager to try, and his gaze in the direction of Nassau was full of greed.

If the stone does not say, then I am afraid that few people can guess that the stone is an active officer of the British Royal Navy.

As an active-duty officer, being outside of Nassau was an unusual thing in itself, let alone being associated with a notorious pirate like "Redbeard", and this fact, if it got out, would be a big scandal and I am afraid it would be a shocking thing.

"Tell the brethren that they should be ready, and when the sun goes down, we will act at once, and when the time comes, the women will choose and drink as much as they want." Cruise knew what the pirates wanted, and at times like this, he needed to stimulate their nerves with wine and women.

"Hey, hey, hey..."The stone let out a creepy laugh, and for the pirates who lived on the ship all day, everyone liked wine and women, and the stone was no exception.

"Sir, Your Excellency the Governor has asked you to bring you a message, if you want to act tonight, then please be sure to keep the battlefield within the port of Nassau, and not to spread to the city of Nassau, and at the same time, Your Excellency the Governor hopes that you will restrain your subordinates and prevent them from landing as much as possible." Henderson hurried over to report.

"I heard that there were no stones, and they said that they would not let you land." Bruce didn't care, still joking with the stone.

"Haha, I'm afraid it won't be his final say then." The stone didn't care, in fact, the sword and the soldiers together, no one could control it.
