Chapter 54: Benito Brin
The servant opened the door, and Xu Zhonglin walked into Benito Brin's house with two bottles of wine. The house was small, but it was full of books and manuscripts.
Sissi pointed to a painting on the wall and said to Xu Zhonglin, "Commander, look." ”
Looking up, there is a one-meter-long, eighty-one-centimeter-wide oil painting, the portrait is the backs of three young girls, hugging each other and sitting side by side on the beach, the sunset is shining from the sparkling sea, dotted with white sails in the distance, and there are three half-exposed huge warships side by side. Judging from the back, Mr. Brin should have been a lively ship girl at that time, she held the ship girl in the middle with one hand and held it high with the other, as if she was greeting someone.
"Do you like this painting? In the middle is Dante, and on the right is my sister Queen Margaret. Leonardo da Vinci painted it for us. "Bentoni Brin was dressed in a loose robe, standing on the stairs, wearing glasses, holding a pile of manuscripts in his hands, and looked quiet and intellectual.
The Dante, the Leonardo da Vinci, and the Queen Margaret are all stunned shipwives, and Xu Zhonglin has heard of them before.
Since a certain admiral despised the freedom to guide the people, he was forced to make up a lot of knowledge by Sissi: "Yes, I like it very much, you were very lively at that time, and the relationship between the three of you must be very good." Also, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Brin. ”
Brin waved his hand, signaling that he was not polite, and walked over in a manner: "Sit down, can you tell me why the bulbous bow on Barcelissa's hull is a downward semi-elliptical shape?" ”
He is worthy of being a battleship designer, and as soon as he comes up, he asks questions about battleships.
A certain admiral shouted in the depths of his heart: How can I know? But he doesn't really know anything, either: "I've tried a few shapes and feel like this one has the least resistance. ”
Brin listened to him, silently stared at the drawings with his glasses, and nodded after a long time: "And this retractable stabilizer fin?" ”
"This is used to cooperate with the keel to reduce roll, but this thing has a great impact on flexibility, so it is made retractable, and it is generally not used. My idea was to stick out during the artillery battle of the battle line, and keep the hull stable at high speeds. Hits are more accurate. ”
It can be seen that Brin agrees with his idea: "Yours is indeed better than ordinary non-retractable stabilizer fins, but there are definitely shortcomings." ”
Xu Zhonglin hurriedly said: "This is more complicated, consumes more resources, and has a greater impact on the watertight compartment, if the torpedo attacks this part, the impact is still very great." ”
"Not bad! You just need to recognize that. It's never been a perfect design, you have your own ideas, and you just know how to make trade-offs, but it's a pity that I haven't taught you much, Caprela's stupid woman doesn't understand anything, and she wasted your talent in vain. ”
Before Xu Zhonglin could distinguish Caprela, a cough came from behind him: "Ahem...... Brin! It's unladylike to speak ill of people behind your back. ”
Turning her head, Capreira and two other shipwives walked in, none other than the Goddess of Wisdom and the Soul Resurrection Maiden. Before he could get up to say hello, Brin fired the map cannon: "Then now I'll say it to your face, you're really stupid." Is that the case true of all the people who have been on the island? Otherwise, why are you and Garibaldi so stupid? ”
Garibaldi was also inexplicably lying in Taranto.
Capreyla stopped doing it now, pushed away a certain admiral who was about to come up to say hello, pinched his waist and pointed at Brin and said, "Okay! You Fei Leng Emerald people are smart, aren't you?! Why are you so smart that you haven't taught such a good student as my student? ”
Yo-yo! I've heard of show dad and show baby, but I didn't expect to show students.
"Of course we are smart, me, Dante, Leonardo da Vinci, which one is not smart? Is Zhonglin just your student? I also taught him. ”
Feeling that the two of them already had horns on their heads, and they were full of anger and wanted to make a big move, the goddess of wisdom hurriedly stopped the two: "Okay, you two, don't quarrel." ”
Capreyla then let Brin go, turned to someone shivering in the corner and said, "My student! Come here! After speaking, he glanced at Brin defiantly, "Reintroduce to you, these are my two sisters, you have met." ”
After greeting, a certain admiral had a question: "Isn't it a sister and a sister?" ”
"Shut up! Does the teacher's secret have to be so curious? Caprela's threats had little effect, but she changed her tone to pleading, "Is it okay for you, teacher?" ”
Xu Zhonglin had to pay attention to this: "Teacher, please speak." ”
"In a few days, when the Navy Joint Exchange Conference is held, you are fresh graduates, and the navies of all countries will go to recruit new admirals. I want you to join the city-state alliance navy. ”
"Okay, teacher." Xu Zhonglin originally wanted to join the foolish people for a few years, of course there was no problem.
But Capreira shook her head: "You don't understand, the city-state alliance is very complicated now, and there are many conflicts in the navy, you are my student, and you may suffer a lot of trouble if you enter." ”
"Why?"
"The city-state alliance navy now has only a small sphere of influence off the coast of Algeria and on the eastern shore of the Red Sea. The strategy of the Navy has always been in conflict with that of the Army, and the Army's strategy is to first repel all the deep seas of Algeria, occupy the resources there and increase the national strength, and then advance into the Arabian Peninsula, and Brin and I both support this idea. ”
Capreira smiled at Brin and continued: "But the consequence of this is that military spending and resources are seriously tilted towards the army, but as the battle line is lengthened, the army is gradually unable to advance, and can only turn to strategic defense. The Navy was intended to revitalize with the coming to power of Marshal Arturo Moritti. They advocated a shift in strategic direction, attacking the deep-sea habitat of the Arabian Peninsula first. Although Garibaldi and I were good friends, she supported Marshal Moritty. With her support, the navy has grown stronger in recent years, and more recently they are preparing to launch a campaign on the Arabian Peninsula. ”
Xu Zhonglin understood: "Oh, it turned out to be the tearing of the army red deer and the navy red deer." Teacher, what does this have to do with you asking me to go to the Navy? ”
Capreira looked a little worried: "I and Brin are powerless to stop this change of strategy, but the navy is too anxious, and many of the ship's hulls have never been modified, and we judge that we will suffer a big loss if we attack the Arabian Peninsula in such a hurry." Therefore, we can only do everything we can to strengthen the strength of the navy. Not just you, I'll try to convince all the Admirals I know to cooperate with the Navy as much as possible. ”
"Why not join forces with other countries? Just like the original extermination of the northern deep-sea chief inhabitant? ”
After asking, I felt stupid and cute.
