Chapter 30 Strategic Choices

Then there are five dead corpses to deal with, these people Xu Zhonglin has seen them a few days ago, but they can't name them, think about the glitz of the day, and now they have become cold corpses in the blink of an eye, this is the bloody lesson. Sure enough, as Xu Zhonglin expected, these guys more or less had some bank deposit receipts hidden in their clothes. These can be taken out, and the value of this batch alone can build a Hood! It's really developed!

The biggest gain is still the resource cards and cores that have been found. There are eleven cores in total, of which three are two-thousand-ton destroyer cores, which are estimated to be from the air defense forces, which are relatively cheap, and the remaining eight are cruiser cores. From 5,000 tons to 18,000 tons!

Finally, there are resource cards, there are more than 60 in total, and after calculation, you can actually build a 50,000-ton battleship!

After getting rich, it is natural to share the spoils.

Teresa's opinion is two large Alaskan cruisers! Straight in one step. The rest can still put together a Cleveland light cruiser.

Sissi objected, believing that Rena's feelings should be taken into account, as well as the replenishment of the fleet in the future. Two Alaskas are cool, but without auxiliary ships, it is difficult to receive a good mission, and she has always thought that Alaska is just the personal imagination of the Admiral, this thing is a waste of heavy cruisers, and it can't be beaten by others, which is actually very chicken.

The two sisters quarreled and refused to give in to each other.

In the end, Xu Zhonglin came out to play a round: "In all fairness, the best cruisers should be the Alaska-class and the Scharnhorst-class, but it is difficult for us to get another one in half a year, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to meet again if you pick up a leak like this time." But it really helped us get through the toughest of primitive accumulations. So we have to look at what are our strategic tasks next? What do you think? ”

Teresa calmed down and was still very insightful: "Take on a slightly more high-end mission, and then try your best to expand the size of the fleet and lay the foundation for having aircraft carriers and battleships in the future." ”

Although she was very unwilling in her heart, Teresa also knew that the absolute power at sea at the moment could never be a cruiser.

"Okay, the first stage, taking on the most lucrative task that our current resources can allocate, what should our fleet look like?"

Sissi also carefully analyzed: "The three core heavy cruisers, plus some auxiliary destroyers, can air defense, artillery bombardment, anti-submarine, fast speed, flexible and convenient mission. Then slowly accumulate one fast aircraft carrier, four more battleships, and then two battleships, we can attack a town guard by ourselves and slowly manage our own territory. ”

"And what is the best heavy cruiser for multitasking?" Xu Zhonglin stroked the hell pocket watch, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart.

Theresa and Sissi also said in unison, "Des Moines-class heavy cruisers." ”

Sissi continued: "The Des Moines class is fast, it is the best fast aircraft carrier escort ship, the firepower is fast and powerful, it is the ultimate artillery heavy cruise, the artillery caliber is moderate, the land artillery is also considered a heavy artillery rank, and the air defense capability is also very strong. ”

Teresa continued: "We have just enough resources for three Des Moines, and then we can build another 10,000-ton or so anti-aircraft light cruiser, or two Mogador-class destroyers." ”

Xu Zhonglin shrugged: "Then what are you arguing about?" ”

Once the goal is confirmed, all that remains is a happy trouble, how to take out the drawings in the open!

This question has always bothered Xu Zhonglin, how chicken his golden finger is, except for a hell's eye to peek at, a large number of drawings are completely no different from waste paper.

Teresa suddenly said: "Admiral, in half a year, the Navy Joint Exchange Meeting!" ”

Xu Zhonglin smiled bitterly: "I have taken a victory pocket watch, I can't participate, besides, there are no drawings there." ”

"No! Admiral, you forgot, there is a separate joint exchange meeting for graduates. The navies of the major countries will send people. And the cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers of the special training courses of the academy will also come. There will be a competition for newcomers who have just left the academy to become admirals. In fact, it is to make it easier for the navies of various countries to recruit their favorite talents. The first three of this competition can put forward an 'appropriate' requirement, and whether the cadets join or not, the official navy of each country must meet this requirement. ”

Xu Zhonglin smiled bitterly: "Do you think we can win?" And, do you think the Des Moines class is the 'appropriate' requirement? ”

Of course, he knew about this competition, and he used to watch it in his memory, which was very similar to the 'tank competition' in the original world, with a total of five events: speed competition, artillery target shooting, torpedo assault, anti-aircraft target shooting, and underwater listening. None of these five events have anything to do with the current Sissi and Teresa. Take artillery hitting targets as an example, not only does it require a hit, but the shorter the time, the more points are scored, and the rate of fire is simply not enough.

"Haha, Admiral, have you lost your mind, have you forgotten the Mogador class we planned?"

Xu Zhonglin's eyes lit up: "Have you found a suitable target?" ”

Teresa smiled: "My sister and I already have it." And it has already been contacted, and the other party has agreed. ”

"Who? Is the tactical requirement to pass? ”

"It's definitely one of the most elite destroyers I've ever seen, leave some suspense, wouldn't it be nice to have a surprise then?"

This damn little goblin! Forget it, it's the same for everyone anyway. With the powerful attributes of the Mogador class, as long as the quality of the ship mother is not too bad, it is no problem to deal with a group of rookie Xiaomengxin who have just left the academy.

"But are we really going to join the U.S. Navy? I don't know how to develop my life there, so I have no future at all. And even if you join, people probably won't give such an important drawing. ”

Xu Zhonglin found that most of the ships in this world will follow a rule, which country in the original world, which country in this world will appear in which country, of course, there are exceptions, but there are only three Des Moines class ships, and the probability of summoning them is extremely low, and it is estimated that only the US Navy will have them.

"No! It is not the US Navy that has drawings of Des Moines-class heavy cruisers. ”

"Oh? Who else has it? ”

Theresa sneered: "Des Moines has appeared quite a few times in history, although most of them are in the United States, but the twin islands, oh, that is, the United Kingdom, have also appeared once. The British took advantage of this opportunity to draw and map out the complete drawings. Then, it was used as a bargaining chip and swapped with the whole of Europe. The alliance of city-states, that is, Italy, must have it, and the Admiral has such a good relationship with Caprela, she is very well-connected, and she will definitely be able to get it. ”

Oh! It turns out that I don't feel distressed to buy Noda again! Great, thank you Britant for being as shameless in this world as ever.

The biggest problem has also been solved, Xu Zhonglin put down a big stone in his heart, and then there is a small trouble.
