New Staff of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Of course, General, but my shipyard hasn't been rebuilt, so I haven't brought it up." Wesley said generously.

William Benson choked on Wesley's words, how shameless it is, you are a soldier.

Wesley didn't care about the other party's eyes at all, and continued as if nothing had happened: "The development of naval ships is still in the exploratory stage. This is my opinion. The current warships have not reached the peak, mainly because of technical problems, but these are in I don't have the slightest problem here."

"And I divided the warships in detail. First of all, the first type is naturally the battleship, and the development of the battleship must be the increase in the caliber of the main gun, which is inevitable. The increase in the caliber must be accompanied by an increase in tonnage, so Battleships are getting bigger and bigger."

"The second type is cruisers. I divide cruisers into heavy cruisers and light cruisers, and the third type is called destroyers." Wesley said that he actually divided four types of battleships.

"Can you tell me in detail?" William Benson asked impatiently.

Wesley thought for a while and said, "General, I hope you don't spread it out after hearing about it. Although other shipyards don't have my technology, the design concept is still very important."

"Don't worry about this, I will never spread it out, but do you want to take all the orders from the Navy?"

"Of course not, because the number of ships the Navy needs is a huge number, and my shipyard can't eat it, but I need to make my shipyard the number one shipyard in the United States."

"Ok, I see."

"Let's not talk about battleships. Everyone knows this, but it's all about technology and design. If the Navy needs the latest capital ships, our shipyard can participate in the bidding. I don't think there is any problem with those bidding documents."

"A cruiser, as the name suggests, is a type of ship that travels at sea for a long time. Like the armored cruiser today, it needs to have a separate combat capability, and the heavy cruiser is designed for this purpose. The light cruiser moves with the fleet. , to assume the role of fleet guard duty."

"Destroyers are divided into offshore destroyers and ocean-going destroyers. Off-shore mainly defend coastlines and naval bases, while ocean-going ones move with the fleet. Such ships do not need to install excessively large naval guns. Their role is only to prevent local Lightning strikes, while patrolling the coast, and lightning strikes against enemy ships after a battle can also rely on them."

"The idea is very good, the division is very careful, can you produce all these warships?"

"Of course, but my shipyard has only completed the 20,000-ton dock, and is now building a 30,000-ton dock, which will take a few months."

"Hey, does it need to be this big?" Benson asked in surprise.

"If it weren't for the technical problems of the workers, I would directly build a 50,000-ton dock. Now they need to start production from small ships, which is not something that my technology can do."

"Okay, then the Navy can give you an order first, an order for four destroyers, what do you think?" William Benson directly threw the bait. This bait was very small, but it also meant that if the Navy was satisfied, then Subsequent orders will come in a steady stream.

"No problem, we can start work right away."

After everything was done, Wesley went directly back to New York. The number of freighters and oil tankers he wanted was very large, all of which were 10,000-ton class cargo ships and oil tankers. The 10,000-ton class freighter and oil tanker in this era are not too big, but it is a good idea to train the workers. Nice choice.

Wesley directly asked John List, "I have an order for four destroyers here, which will be built with only 5,000-ton slipways, and all the skilled welders will be concentrated here."

"What destroyer? We don't have a designer for the army!" John Lister shouted in surprise.

"I am, you go to arrange workers. I have been drawing drawings in the office these days, and then build according to my drawings. The weapons are directly thrown into the arsenal for production. They have the equipment and technology, and I put them there. "

"Have you long wanted to produce warships?"

"Of course, otherwise what am I doing with a big shipyard?" Wesley asked John Lister to do the preparatory work, and he started to draw the design drawings of the destroyer.

John Benson did not organize personnel to demonstrate at all. There is also a reason for Wesley to build it directly. First of all, the price of the four destroyers is not high, which is very cheap for the Navy, and new warships can be seen. At the same time, if the Navy If you are not satisfied, you can not accept it. This is a test that John Benson gave Wesley.

Wesley also understands the plan of the Navy, and he is very confident. The current battleship is very long due to the boiler and power system. The chimney alone needs three or four, and Wesley's The design will be epoch-making.

On this side, Wesley is designing, while on the other side, William Benson directly temporarily stopped the orders for other naval warships. The ones that were almost finished were built, and all the others were stopped. Many shipyards were at a loss for this. , hurried to the navy to ask.

"Don't worry, we stopped not to cancel the order, but to make some changes. I hope you will wait for more specific things, and we will give you news at most three months." This is the explanation of the Navy.

Three months is the time for Wesley's side to produce warships. The production is completely in accordance with the wartime system. The three-shift work uses a large number of skilled workers. For this reason, the cargo ships and oil tankers have stopped working. Wesley's own order. The same is true for the arsenal, but this time the four destroyers are not equipped with much armament, so there is no need to hurry, and the production will be done step by step, and the power company's marine power system needs to be accelerated.

Naturally, all shipyards have people in the navy. They quickly found out who was responsible for this incident, but they did not overreact, because these people saw huge benefits.

This is the rhythm of the Navy's great development, and they are not satisfied with the ships they are making now. If this guy Wesley Gibson can come up with better ships, then they can also share.

Don't look at Wesley's expansion of the shipyard, but a country's navy cannot be eaten by a shipyard, and Wesley will have new designs and technologies flowing out, even if they can't get the core aspects, but some side The corners are also good.

These capitalists are too shrewd and see the benefits directly. Although they cannot start work for three months, the losses are actually not large, and they are small money compared to what they get.
