After settling in the Far East, Contini talked to Ciano the Elder about the last Roma.

"How do you sell this one?"

"This one is not for sale, let's play by ourselves!" Contini smiled, "Besides, no one buys it, looking at the world, probably the three ABC countries in South America still have some ideas, but they either don't have the ability to pay, or they don't look down on this quality, it's not high, it's not low, forget it, I'm useful." ”

As a senior navy, the old Ciano is more than enough to manage a Roma, but such a professional can't figure out how Contini should play, and asks suspiciously: "How do you want to toss?" ”

"The first step is to dismantle the two 305mm naval guns as shore defense guns at the United Shipyard, and at the same time provide them for United Steel to study."

"The second step is to dismantle the 6 twin 203mm naval guns on it, and then ......" Contini looked at Ciano Sr., "buy a batch of trains from the Ministry of Transportation." ”

"Trains?" Old Chiano was puzzled, "Who are you transporting the train?" ”

"If it is not transported, it will be disassembled and loaded on the train, and transformed into a train gun and sold back to the army."

Old Ziano stood up in shock, was speechless for a while, and finally said: "It's not impossible, but it's very difficult." ”

"It is difficult to train people, I have dug a large number of technicians from Germany, and I am also going to find experts from Ansaldo, Skoda, Krupp and other companies to complete this transformation, Italy is inexperienced, and the Germans are experienced......"

"Cost?"

"To study this kind of thing, cost is secondary, and improving strength and experience is the most important thing." Contini smiled, "Double-link to single-link, single-link on the train, are not big or small projects, and will have a high effect on improving our technology." ”

"There are also 24 76mm rapid-fire guns, which are going to be dismantled and put into the Volunteers, so that there are artillery?" Contini added, "A regiment of 2,500 men, with 24 3-inch guns, is not to be underestimated? ”

"You?" Old Ciano was in a hurry, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Train the Volunteers......," Contini blinked, "as the Party's Young Guard, you can't just talk and don't do it." ”

"Okay......" old Ciano was completely defeated.

"What about the others?"

"After dismantling the artillery in this way, the bridge was also dismantled...... But I'm reluctant to dismantle, this hull is still useful. Contini pulled a blank sheet of paper from the side and drew a rough outline, and although he drew it horribly, the elder Chiano could see that it was a bare, without artillery and bridge.

"I'm going to make it this way." Contini drew a stroke on the ship's drawing, "Raise the upper deck, build a platform, set up a small bridge on the side - now there is no fire control mission, there is no need for a large building, just a small one." The ammunition compartment at the bottom can be set up as a gasoline and fuel tank, and the aircraft can be parked on the overhead layer after the platform......"

Looking at the drawings he sketched out one by one, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and finally lost his voice: "This ...... This is clearly an aircraft carrier, and the Washington Treaty has a limit on the tonnage of the Italian Navy, and your construction will cause diplomatic disputes......"

"Father, you must be mistaken...... "Contini said slyly, "how can the United Group be an aircraft carrier if it was rebuilt from a scrap ship?" This is clearly a floating temporary sea base of United Aviation, which is mainly used for aircraft transfer and forced landing...... Your son is the second writer of the "Theory of Air Supremacy" and a participant in the theory of the Air Force in the new era...... Moreover, this airfield has no artillery, no bombs, no soldiers, and no combat...... Well, which country's warship is this? ”

Old Ziano was speechless, and he suddenly remembered: all the officers and men who operated the warship had retired and joined the United Group, and although the United Aviation had a signboard of the Second Air Force, it was not a soldier...... This level of strong words and concealment, tsk! It's really my son's consistent style!

"Besides, even if it is a warship, Italy also has aircraft carrier tonnage, what are you afraid of Britain, the United States, and France? When it's saturated, I'll tear him down, won't I? Contini laughed, "As soon as this floating airfield is built, the relationship between us and the Navy will be alive, doesn't the Navy want aviation?" The Air Force won't give it, No, the Navy can send people to the United Group to work! I'll raise them for them! But if you want to listen to me here, and cover me outside, what good is it to think of the United Group. ”

When he said this, the old Ciano couldn't help but laugh: The United Group does not look like a company at present, but rather like a second government with a back-and-forth, the Socialist Party wants to suppress the troubles, Corfu has to intervene in the accident, the Navy has to take over the sale of warships, and the Army has to take over the sale of aircraft...... I don't know how much I have done at a loss, but this moisturizing energy is really a lot, and now the commanders of the army, navy, and air force are all smiling when they see them - without him, it's just a ticket.

"Communicate well with the leader."

"I told him, and he said no problem, this ship is ours, and we can play as much as we like......," Contini laughed at himself, "and when the renovation is complete, we will go out on a sea cruise and perform a flying circus - this is not an aircraft carrier, is it?" ”

"Okay, I don't care about you, but how did the loss of 200 million lira end last year?"

"You can't just look at my loss of 200 million lira, you have to look at my contribution to the country: we are the ones who join the revolution and support the government; Innovating products and developing public welfare are the things we do; It is we who respond to the call and suppress political opponents; External donations, escort, or our ...... Even the workers' new village is our first initiative, we run the radio station, the 6-day 8-hour work system is the first to be popularized in the United Group, we take the lead in paying ordinary social insurance, everything called by the government, we resolutely respond, everything that the leader needs, we go to the soup to fight the fire, where the country is in difficulty, we first pad a mat, top a top, such a full and comprehensive contribution, how can it be measured by a loss of 200 million lira? ”

"I have created 100,000 direct jobs, stimulated more than 600 million infrastructure and driven 500,000 jobs, made progress in culture, education, science and technology, improved the relationship between the country and the Pope, and finally solved the problems left over from history, so that the country has straightened its back in foreign exchanges, made the Italian people more united, made the youth more supportive of the leader and the government, and let the important idea of the three flags be written into the fascist constitution and become the guiding direction of the people of the whole country. How can such a great social value be reflected in a mere report?

I reported to the leader that the United Group is not a selfish family business with the goal of making profits, nor is it my personal enterprise, it is a national policy group, a public welfare group, a strategic group that serves and contributes to the great rejuvenation of the Italian nation, and an enterprise that the party and the leader have temporarily entrusted to me to manage, and if the country needs it in the future, I can hand it over at any time - what do I want so much money for? Serving Italy is the purpose of the group, and the report is not enough! You see, I didn't pay attention to the newspaper reports, that's a fact. ”

Old Ziano nodded helplessly: "That's really good, you are more capable than me, it seems that your parliamentarian will not lose the election in the future, I think you can retire." ”
