Nathan only thinks about it from his own point of view, you know, the British in history have been trying their best to reduce their army, because their national strength is constantly weakening, look at the future generations, they plan to make the Elizabeth, there is such a big problem when it goes to sea for sea trials, and the funniest thing is that the aircraft carriers are in service, and the carrier-based aircraft is still far away, without the carrier-based aircraft, it is equivalent to a yacht.

And now, Britain's finances are also very poor, so they even have to completely reduce their aircraft carrier fleet, but what Nathan didn't expect is that they actually plan to expand their army at such a time.

Sure enough, it is an old capitalist country, although the world is safe, it will be dangerous to forget the war, and now Britain has seen the world war and is about to rise again.

That's right, a conflict in the Far East, veteran politicians, can see, just like before World War II, Europe will be involved at any time.

The Soviets took the initiative to break the strategic balance and try to make a breakthrough in Hokkaido, which definitely does not bode well, so will the Soviets be ready to move in Europe as well?

It was even more terrible than the original Germany, if the Soviets decided to start a war, then as long as everyone did not use nuclear weapons, then the Soviet armored forces could be pushed from East Germany to the French coastline in a week.

The English Channel, can it hold off the attack of the Soviets? This is still unknown, and after that, as in history, Britain will need to rely on the long Atlantic to transport supplies and hold out until the counteroffensive.

What if there is no strong navy?

They have already begun to prepare, and in World War II, that stupid Chamberlain, appeasement, finally made Europe out of control, and now, Britain will not make the same mistake.

But... Nathan still finds it strange that the last time he went to the UK, their prime minister, Leonard James Callaghan, this guy, is an absolute suicidal army master, and in his eyes, the living coffin of the aircraft carrier should have been eliminated a long time ago.

"Your Prime Minister Callaghan, do you agree to naval expansion?" Nathan asked.

Hearing Nathan's question, several veteran generals who came over seemed to not know Nathan: "Major Nathan, don't you know that Prime Minister Calahan's term of office has ended?" Now, our new Prime Minister is Margaret Hilda Thatcher. ”

Margaret Thatcher was the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the longest-serving British Prime Minister since the Earl of Liverpool in the early 19th century. Known as "Thatcherism", her political philosophy and policy ideas changed the economic, social and cultural landscape of Britain both deeply and widely.

Nathan was suddenly shocked, obediently, it turned out that there had been a change, no wonder, that Callahan was definitely an idiot, and Thatcher was different, she was an iron lady, during her tenure, she had always been extremely hostile to the Soviet Union, so now, in order to cope with the expansion of the Soviet Union, it is normal to increase the strength of the navy.

Besides, with Thatcher coming to power, the reform measures that she talked about with her before, the privatization of state-owned enterprises, will definitely begin, and the country will have money, so it will be normal to buy American arms.

No wonder they have the confidence to buy Tomcats, the British Navy, finally waited, and now, even Nathan let out a long sigh of relief for the bitter British Navy.

"Great, with the Iron Lady, the British Navy can finally do a big job." Nathan said.

Iron Maiden? Hearing Nathan's words, several people frowned, who is this noun referring to? Could it be Prime Minister Thatcher? However, this title seems to be really good.

Nathan didn't know that he had slipped his tongue and started giving nicknames again, but now he could finally do it openly.

"In this way, we can go to the navy's warship cemetery first, and if we can, we will give you two, and then add your Royal Ark, there will be three, and the ghosts of the previous navy can also continue to operate, but the Tomcat's ship is also imminent, if you can trust me, I will go with you." Nathan said.

Nathan's current identity is still a naval lieutenant, but those who know the inside story know that Nathan's future is limitless, and he has already begun to embark on the political road, and those who know the inside story more should know that Jenny is a more critical figure hidden behind.

And Nathan also had a relationship with the top, and the relationship with the people at Grumman was even better.

So, the generals present agreed, and it was funny to think that a major would lead them on a tour, but in fact, no one was surprised.

Nathan's military rank must be promoted again, if he is mentioned two levels in a row, he is a colonel, and if he is mentioned again, he will be a general.

Moreover, Nathan himself actually wants to visit the Navy's warship graveyard.

Due to the huge military strength of the United States, the speed of upgrading military equipment is also quite fast, so a lot of equipment will be replaced.

These equipment, if destroyed directly, are very wasteful, and at the same time, once a war breaks out, it will be activated at any time, so it will be temporarily sealed, which is jokingly called a weapon graveyard.

The most famous fighter cemetery, where thousands of warplanes quietly await an unknown fate, looks very spectacular, and at the same time, there is also a huge warship cemetery.

Like the Air Force, many of the decommissioned ships of the U.S. Navy that still have preservation value will not be dismantled for the time being, but will be transferred to the warship cemetery for storage, waiting for the day when the U.S. Navy discovers a new use or a foreign buyer wants to export it.

Due to the huge size of the U.S. Navy, the warships in the cemetery alone are enough to kill the naval lineup of ordinary countries in an instant

Of course, this also includes the unbeatable huge aircraft carriers, which can only be soaked in dead waters and gradually withered and corroded after being decommissioned.

These mothballed fleets are also known as ghost fleets, and all warships that have been removed from active service in the U.S. Navy's battle sequence and are mothballed belong to the ghost fleet.

One of the cemeteries, the Navy's Bremerton Harbor, is very close to Miramar Air Station.

Bremerton is one of the most important military ports for the U.S. Navy on the West Coast, and the Phuket Sound Naval Shipyard is located here.

The next day, Nathan's report had already been approved by the military leadership, so Nathan, who had only been an instructor for half a day, changed his profession again and began to take several British admirals to the Bremerton Military Port.
