Chapter Seventy-Six: Parting

After everyone else withdrew, Qiao Wuye sat in his seat and didn't move, so Xu Zhonglin had to accompany her quietly.

"You say, Italy has taken Aden and Mecca, how will it fight?"

"I think it's going to go south along Jeddah, at both ends, first to stabilize the plains west of the Hejaz Mountains, and then to the east with Mecca as the base." The Hejaz Mountains are huge mountains almost parallel to the Red Sea, not very high in elevation, but can stretch over a large area.

Fifth Master Qiao nodded: "What do you think of our UK this time?" ”

"Take advantage of it, one-third of the fleet will get one-third of the territory, and make a lot of money!"

Fifth Master Qiao shook his head: "No! We in Britain are afraid that we will be dragged into a quagmire. Originally, in Northern Europe, we were evenly matched, and now we have to expand, and we will inevitably reduce the deployment there, and your country and Germany have obviously joined forces, even if I don't know the specific situation, I can guess that you want to the east of the Caspian Sea, and Germany, what you want is the whole of Northern Europe, maybe even Austria-Hungary can covet Ukraine. Russia, it is difficult to stand alone. ”

Awesome to my country! Fifth Master Qiao's vision is still broad, and he can already see far away.

This kind of thing is too far away from Xu Zhonglin, so he can only say: "Then what should you do?" If Russia is partitioned, won't it be difficult for you? ”

Qiao Wuye laughed: "Don't worry about this, France and the United States will naturally be on our side at that time." Italy has benefited from Germany and your country this time, and your ties have been further strengthened. ”

"! Isn't this almost the pattern of World War I and World War II? ”

"Yes! How much do you think we love France? It's all forced by the situation. In the future, if one day, you stand on the opposite side of our country, you don't have to feel guilty about me, I understand this helplessness. ”

Xu Zhonglin didn't know what to say: "Do you expect so much from me?" ”

The royal sister stretched, but unfortunately the button was too strong: "Who knows?" Okay, I'm going to rush back in the evening, this is the last lesson I taught you, it's going to be difficult to meet in the future, work hard, little guy, I believe you must have a lot of feelings after watching today's scene, only after seeing the scenery on the top of the mountain can you know the goal. ”

This made Xu Zhonglin a little sad, and his eyes were a little sour, but he knew that what Fifth Master Qiao said was the truth, so he took out two drawings: "This is what I want to give you and Sister Shengli, but it hasn't taken shape yet, are you satisfied?" ”

"Haha, you still give me something, I don't lack anything......" Qiao Wuye took three thin pieces of paper, and was stuck halfway through his words, his eyes staring at the drawing on it.

It was a sketch of a battleship, and the four-seated quadruple 356 large pipes made her a little trance-like. Turning the next page, she stood up! It's still four turrets, but it's been turned into a triple 406 with larger tubes.

Sister Yu frowned: "Speed, protection, tonnage, and main gun performance!" ”

"I plan to sacrifice the speed, about 29 knots, the protection must be stronger than the Missouri just now, the tonnage, it should be about 80,000 tons, and the main gun will be a Missouri MK7 triple 406 gun."

"Do you know what you're talking about? This kind of thing, you probably won't be able to play it for the rest of your life! Qiao Wuye didn't care, just a little boy's imagination. As a battleship mother, she knows best that no one is stupid enough to take out this kind of thing.

But Xu Zhonglin stared at her seriously: "Sister, whether you believe it or not, after three years, I will definitely help you modify it, and please keep it secret when the time comes." He still has reservations, now taking out Montana-level drawings is too eye-catching, this kind of thing will make all countries crazy, I'm afraid that everyone who comes into contact with Qiao Wuye can't escape the investigation, so he doesn't dare. Three years later, when people forgot about his relationship with Qiao Wuye, he took it out again, so that it would not attract attention.

The royal sister didn't speak, and then looked at the last drawing, it was a huge aircraft carrier, the hull was about the same size as the one just now, with a sloping deck, Qiao Wu couldn't understand it: "Introduce this to me." ”

"60,000-ton heavy armored aircraft carrier, the deck is thickened and strengthened, and the anti-torpedo is strengthened! Double-decker hangar, 33 knots, about 90 aircraft. "Actually, it's an improved version of the Midway-class aircraft carrier.

"Are you sure you'll be able to complete these two drawings in three years?" It's not that Fifth Master Qiao doesn't believe it, this thing is too mysterious, and anyone should doubt it.

"Trust me, I can." Qiao Wuye and Shengli were too good to him, if it weren't for these two drawings, he would almost never be able to repay it, and the feelings of the two shipwives for Britain and their status would not have been possible to go with him. And when the time comes to take out this drawing and modify the two of them, when he is strong enough to modify his battleships and aircraft carriers, he will not have so many covetous eyes. Otherwise, he would never dare to take out this kind of thing.

After being surprised, Fifth Master Qiao returned to his peerless elegance: "Giggles, okay, then I can wait to be the world's number one battleship, I want 406, I will take this back and hand it over to Shengli in person, and let her destroy it in person, as for the rest, you can contact it privately." I trust you this time, and I'll try to save money when I go back. ”

"Hmm." The parting mood permeated the two of them, and Xu Zhonglin was so uncomfortable that he didn't know what to say.

"Go to the army, have a little heart, you are not Italian, you will never be treated as their own by them, pay more attention to everything. Also, there are a lot of things that need to be laid out in advance, and you need to start thinking about it now. I don't know much about this, so I can't teach you anything. Fifth Master Qiao also seemed to be a little reluctant, and his voice was unconsciously a little low.

"Don't worry, I already have some ideas, but I don't know where the place is, and some things are not easy to prepare. Sister...... You also take care, be careful when fighting the deep sea, don't leave the cover of Sister Shengli, we are not in a hurry, when I am strong, I will go with you to sweep away the deep sea. ”

Fifth Master Qiao walked over and hugged him: "I've grown taller again, it seems that I've really grown up, and you can only walk by yourself in the future." What's the trouble, just send a message to my sister. If you have anything you want, tell your sister, and your sister can still provide you with some convenience. I don't want to move those little destroyers, but I'll keep an eye on them, and when they're decommissioned, I'll let them come to you......"

Fifth Master Qiao chattered a lot, and Xu Zhonglin also listened quietly for a long time.

It wasn't until the British fleet was about to set sail for the return voyage that the two separated.

Xu Zhonglin stood on the dock and refused to leave until he could see nothing on the sea.

Sissi walked up until he felt uncomfortable, and did not say much: "Admiral, the wind is rising, go back." ”

yes, the wind is blowing.
