Zhuge Weidao was the phone he received in Zhuge Weitian's office, and the other end of the phone was actually the secretary of the Admiralty Zhuge Weiyi.

On the phone, Zhuge Weiyi didn't say what happened, but just asked him to go back to Beijing as soon as possible to attend the emergency meeting of the Armaments Commission.

However, Zhuge Weidao still guessed something from Zhuge Weiyi's tone...... This must have something to do with the arms conference, and most of it has something to do with the "sit-down coup" that has just taken place in India!

Emperor Wilhelm could come to power, the Indian Empire could gain nominal independence, and the government of the British Empire would be in charge. And the purpose of the British government in doing this, I think with my ass, I also know that it is to turn India into a trump card for Britain. After all, India has a population of 200 million, and the land is vast, there is more land that can be cultivated than the Ming Dynasty, and the resources are also rich.

However, Zhuge Weidao is not worried about the British playing India with money, because it is not the hard-earned money of the Indians that will really determine the future, or even the "10 million tons navy", but the air power...... Historically, the battleship Bismarck, Germany's most powerful battleship in World War II, torpedoed the stern rudder of a biplane taking off from an aircraft carrier, and finally could not run back.

If those battleships and battlecruisers in World War I encountered biplane carrier-based aircraft that could dive and drop bombs or carry out torpedo attacks, it would basically be a dead end!

So, in any case, you have to get out of the biplane bombers, the biplane torpedo planes and the 20,000-ton fleet aircraft carrier!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao hung up the phone, and then said to Zhuge Weitian with a smile: "Feilong (Feilong is Zhuge Weitian), you are an expert in aerodynamics, and the wind tunnel tests of these biplanes are entrusted to you...... After blowing, you can help change it, even if we invented it together. With this invention, it will be much more convenient for you to get the position of military advisor. According to our rules, you can also get the Book of Aviation!"

Hearing Zhuge Weidao say this, the last bit of mustard in Zhuge Weitian's heart was gone, and a little chubby face overflowed with a smile: "Be a military advisor? I'm still young...... Can it really work?"

"Brother Ninety, you are really joking," Zhuge Weidao took Zhuge Weitian's hand and said with a smile, "Little brother, I will do one hundred and eight, won't I also win the position of military division?" Ninety Brother...... The future is in the sky, and our Zhuge family needs a real aerodynamics expert like you!"

Zhuge Weidao has already leaked a bit of a heavenly opportunity...... However, this is not a heavenly machine handed down by King Zhuge Wuzhong, but a heavenly machine that Zhuge himself knows.

Zhuge Weitian is not the kind of person who has "heavenly machines" in vain, and immediately said, "One hundred and eight brothers...... My brother's Feilong Industry is about to go public recently, and it still lacks a little capital, so why don't you buy some shares?"

Now Feilong Industry is hot, of course, there will be no shortage of capital. And as soon as Feilong Industry is listed, it will definitely rise sharply!

Zhuge Weidao understood what the other party meant, but he still shook his head and smiled, "Brother Ninety, your little brother has received it...... But this money can't be earned like this. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. If the younger brother buys the shares now, he won't be able to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future!"

In fact, it is never too late to buy the stock of "future Boeing" such as Feilong Industry, but the key to making a lot of money is to be able to hold it.

Therefore, Zhuge Weidao does not need to carry out this kind of internal transaction at all, he is really optimistic, and he can buy it after listing. Although this transaction is now an intra-family transaction, it will not cause him any trouble. But in the future, he will sprint to the position of prime minister, but people will turn it out and talk about it.

And to ensure that the Ming Dynasty wins the war, it is best for him to be the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh!" Zhuge Weitian immediately understood that this brother of his was ambitious, "One hundred and eight brothers, my brother will definitely support you in the future!"

"Good! Brother Ninety, the younger brother will give you a little more heavenly opportunity," Zhuge Weidao took Zhuge Weitian's hand, and said, "The future of the airship is limited, and if the technology and patents can be sold, they must be sold as soon as possible...... And the future of airplanes is limitless!"

After saying this, Zhuge Weidao didn't stay here for a long time, turned around and walked out of the wind tunnel base of Feilong Industry, and drove his small broken "Red Rabbit Car" to Beijing City.

This "Red Rabbit Car" is a new product made by Zhuge Weili, the "Zhuge of the car", after getting Zhuge Weidao's improvement suggestions. Compared with the car that Zhuge Weidao test-drove before, it has made progress like a rebirth, and it can basically be put on sale, and Zhuge Weidao naturally entered the venture capital in the newly established "Chitu Industry......

......

When Zhuge Weidao arrived at the Admiralty building in his small broken car, it was almost time to clock out and leave work that afternoon, but an emergency meeting of the Armaments Committee was still going on in the conference room dedicated to the Admiralty Shangshu.

When Zhuge pushed the door in for the road, Li Tiezhu, the director of naval intelligence, was counting someone's strategy there!

"Well, now the British will not hesitate to kill the children and grandchildren of the Indians, and they will also bet the 10 million tons with us...... So what do we do? Can't they just shout "follow", let's just keep shouting "20 million tons", right? There's no point in that!"

"Of course we can't show weakness!" Zhuge took over the topic with a smile, "But in the future, you really can't brag about the total tonnage, 10 million tons is already a bit bragging, and 20 million tons is afraid that no one will believe it."

The so-called 10 million tons of large navy is actually a "satellite", and it is really hard to say how much it can achieve in the future. After all, this is a big project in 10 or even 15 years, and this kind of project is still reliable for a country like Daming with relatively stable politics and strong policy continuity. But for Great Britain...... The Tories are almost coming to an end for a long time, right? It is difficult to say whether the Whigs will overturn the Tories' long-term naval plans.

"Daozi, you're here...... Sit down!" Zhuge Weiyi was polite, and while beckoning him to sit down, he asked with a smile, "How is the wind blowing?"

"Before I could blow it, your call came," Zhuge Weidao said as he sat down, "I'm in a hurry to come back for a meeting, and I'll leave the matter of blowing the wind to the Flying Dragon Monk."

"Just leave it to him," Zhuge Weiyi smiled, "He's an expert, he can't be wrong." He paused, then asked, "Have you thought about what to do with the English?" It's no fun to blow the total tonnage again, so what's next?"

"Of course it's blowing." Zhuge thought for a moment, "Shangshu, is there any room for our Hongwu Emperor level to be transformed?"

"Modification?" Zhuge Weiyi asked, "How do you want to change it?"

"Add two steam engines, and see if the power of the main engine can reach 22,000? Can the main gun be above the 280 mm knapsack turret? Two twins in the front and rear, a total of 8 280mm cannons!"

What Zhuge Weidao has now come up with is a "dreadnought" scheme similar to the "Nassau" class. Historically, this type of battleship was a counterpart plan developed by the Germans after Britain came up with the "Dreadnought" class. Because the Germans were still a little short of steam turbines at that time, they used steam engines, so the power of "Nassau" was a little worse than that of "Dreadnought".

But this class of battleships is still much stronger than all the "former dreadnoughts"!

"That's ......" Zhuge Weiyi thought for a while, "There is a ready-made plan, called Hongwu to change the first type, with a standard displacement of 18,500 tons, and the hull has been elongated, but instead of a knapsack turret, two twin 280mm turrets are installed on each side of the ship. The first ship is being built at Jiangnan Heavy Industry's Changxing Island shipyard."

"Great, that's it!" Zhuge slapped Weidao, "Just use it to gamble with the British boss!"

"How are you going to bet this time?" Zhuge asked again for righteousness.

Zhuge Weidao smiled and said, "As soon as this Hongwu is changed, all the previous ships will have to be eliminated, and the Lianhongwu Emperor class is no exception...... Let's export it to the French and Rakshasa along with the technology of the Wyvern III!"
