1161 Done
Tom didn't die, his jaw was broken by Qin Dian's punch, and his head hit the floor causing a slight concussion.
His troubles don't stop there, he drank openly in public during Prohibition, and Tom faces charges from the District of Columbia, and he has to go to jail after being discharged from the hospital.
The impact of this incident is still quite large, the Americans who have been discriminated against in Europe have all kinds of envy and jealousy towards the British aristocracy in their hearts, and several newspapers in Washington have reported on the whole thing, and the attitude of the "Washington Post" is particularly fierce, criticizing the privileges of the British aristocracy at the same time, it is also questioning the fairness of the American judiciary.
On Monday, the Navy meeting resumed, the morning was a little dreary, and the delegates had just had a light-hearted weekend, which was somewhat unrefreshed.
"France will definitely not give up on forming a submarine force, we have already made huge concessions on the capital ship, if we can no longer form a strong submarine force, then France's interests cannot be effectively protected-" Albert Sarau repeated the same old tune, Roque did not want to quarrel today, and looked back at Bainbridge Colby, this guy was actually dozing.
It was really a long time for the naval meeting, which lasted for two months from August 10 to now, and the countries only barely agreed on the tonnage of capital ships, followed by submarines and aircraft carriers.
At this pace, delegates may have to spend Christmas in Washington.
"Since we can't reach an agreement, then the issue of submarines will be put on hold for now, and we can move on to the next topic." Roque doesn't hang himself from a tree, submarines are not the same thing as capital ships, and they are not easy to restrict.
The current capital ships are tens of thousands of tons at every turn, and more than a dozen stupid big black tubes can't be hidden, and several of them in the military port are clear at a glance.
Submarines are all hiding under the water, military ports are extremely hidden, all countries are absolutely secret, outsiders cannot find them, it is impossible to check the actual number, and there is no limit.
The Washington Naval Conference, another time and space, also did not reach any agreement on the issue of submarines.
"It can't be put on hold for the time being, then the naval meeting will lose its meaning." Bainbridge Colby was instantly in good spirits, feeling like he could quarrel for another half a year.
"Then come to an agreement as soon as possible, I feel that if I stay in Washington any longer, I will become an American-" Carlo Yamazawa was lazy and unable to lift his spirits, and just this past weekend, the Italian Congress rejected the Italian Navy's new shipbuilding plan, and Carlo Yamazawa's hard-earned capital ship tonnage suddenly became a joke.
The same is true for France, after the Normandy-class battleships were split and sold, the French Navy did not propose a new shipbuilding plan, and the future is far away.
Britain was ready to launch the Nelson-class battleships, but according to the rules of the Naval Council, if Britain wanted to produce new battleships, then some of the battleships would have to be retired to make room for the tonnage of the new battleships, which caused great controversy in the British Parliament.
The shadow of the last arms race, the British Parliament has not forgotten.
Now that Germany is in a slump, France is unable to continue, Japan and the United States are allies of Britain, and whether it is necessary for Britain to maintain a strong fleet all the time, the British MPs are like a fish in the throat.
Of the five countries, the United States is the one that has really made actual concessions.
At the beginning of the Washington Naval Conference, the United States planned to build six 43,200-ton South Dakota-class battleships, in addition to four Colorado-class battleships.
According to the regulations of the Navy Conference, after the completion of all 10 battleships, the tonnage of the US Navy's capital ships will far exceed the specified tonnage, so the United States was forced to stop the construction of the battleship "Washington" and all six "South Dakota" class battleships, which are 75.9 percent complete.
Of the six South Dakota-class battleships, the Lexington and Saratoga, the fastest, were converted into aircraft carriers, while the Washington was sunk as an experimental firing target ship.
Look at the battleships that Americans have a lot of money and have a completion rate of 75.9%, and they were directly sunk as target ships.
The "Normandy" class battleships with a completion rate of 25%, the French still tucked and hid them as treasures.
It's really a little family.
The price paid by Japan was not small, the United States stopped the construction of the "South Dakota" class battleships, and Japan was also forced to stop the construction of two 41,000-ton "Amagi" class battleships, which were later "Akagi" and "Kaga".
"It's very simple to come to an agreement, dismantle all the battleships and cruisers of all countries, and all disputes will disappear in an instant." Yuzaburo Kato broke the jar and broke it, the Japanese government was already weak, and it was a big expense to convert two "Amagi"-class battleships into aircraft carriers.
"Yes, yes, I'm in favor!" Carlo Yamazawa doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, anyway, Italy can't afford to build a super battleship.
"As long as you all agree, there is no reason for France not to agree." Albert Sarau fanned the flames, and this is no joke, France has already done so by splitting and selling the battleships of the Normandy-class class.
The arms race is really not something that any country is qualified to play.
Before the World War, Britain was the main force in the arms race with Germany in the maritime domain, and France was responsible for the army part.
Compared to the Navy, the Army is much more economical.
Now France has finally tasted England -
It's not tasty.
"We are gathered here to limit the arms race and to bring true peace to the world, which is the sacred mission entrusted to us by the world," Bainbridge Colby painted, saying better than singing.
"Submarines — Mr. Secretary, submarines are what we're going to discuss." Roque didn't want to be poured chicken soup, and although Roque didn't mind spending Christmas in the United States, there were still a lot of things going on at home, and Roque didn't have time to quarrel with the gang in Washington.
"There is no way to limit submarines, even if we reluctantly agree, as long as we want to develop submarine forces, we can do it secretly, unless we can open all military ports, it is a joke to restrict submarines." Carlo Yamazawa is also exhausted, everyone knows this fact, but no one says it.
Now Carlo Yamazawa is directly stabbed, and Roque and Bainbridge Colby are also speechless.
"Okay, so let's talk about aircraft carriers now." Bainbridge Colby jumped over the submarine directly, since it could not be restricted, it was put on hold for the time being as Roque said, and it was not a way to continue arguing like this all day.
The number of water words is not so watery.
"Now we are the only ones in the world who are equipped with aircraft carriers, and we deserve the largest share-" At the mention of aircraft carriers, Roque immediately became more energetic.
"The USS Langley aircraft carrier of the US Navy has been commissioned." Bainbridge Colby was simply outraged, so a big ship was parked in New York, couldn't the British delegation see it when it arrived in New York?
The USS Langley was originally a coal carrier of the US Navy, the USS Jupiter.
In the Battle of Jutland, the role of aircraft carriers received widespread attention from various countries, and the United States, while ordering aircraft carriers from southern Africa, decided to convert the "Jupiter" into an aircraft carrier for experiments.
Although the "Jupiter" was only 5500 tons, its deep cabin was conducive to the construction of a hangar.
The Norfolk Naval Shipyard undertook the task of renovating, and after the refit, the "Jupiter" was renamed "Langley", designated CV-1, with a standard displacement of 11,050 tons, a full load displacement of 14,700 tons, a maximum speed of 15 knots, and an all-access flight deck of 165.3 meters long and 19.8 meters wide, carrying 34 aircraft.
"The total tonnage of aircraft carriers can refer to the tonnage of capital ships, and the ratio is still 5:5:3:1.75:1.75, and it is calculated that the United States and Britain can build aircraft carriers with a total tonnage of no more than 135,000 tons, Japan is 81,000 tons, and France and Italy are the same as 60,000 tons." Bainbridge Colby threw out a plan, which was as uninnovative as the capital ship.
"No, the British Empire has already made huge concessions on capital ships, and on aircraft carriers, the British Empire must have more tonnage." Roque strongly objected, 135,000 tons is really not enough, Britain is now fully aware of the role of aircraft carriers, the two aircraft carriers that have been equipped, plus the preparation for the construction of two, the tonnage has exceeded 100,000 tons.
Southern Africa still wants to equip aircraft carriers, even if the Walvis Bay Fleet and the Edward Fleet each have 135,000 tons, 135,000 tons is not enough.
"Then refer to the tonnage of the capital ship to enlarge, 135,000 tons is not enough, then 150,000, 150,000 is not enough, 200,000." Bainbridge Colby was not surprised, and Roque's attitude was also after Bainbridge Colby's expectations.
Southern Africa is known for not paying attention to capital ships, so Roque does not fight or grab capital ships.
What southern Africa really attaches importance to is aircraft carriers, and the world's first aircraft carrier appeared in southern Africa, and the carrier-based aircraft technology in southern Africa is unique in the world, and the United States has to purchase carrier-based aircraft from southern Africa for research.
"In that case, what's the point of us meeting here? Let's all go back and build as many warships as we want. Yuzaburo Kato gritted his teeth, the United States and southern Africa are not bad for money, southern Africa does not build capital ships because they don't want to build them, and the truth is not that they can't afford to build them.
Japan really can't afford to build it, and one 88th fleet has already sucked up all of Japan's gains during the world war, plus aircraft carriers-
It is estimated that the emperor himself will have to sell blood.
"60,000 tons is indeed a little less, 100,000 tons is about the same-" Albert Sarau and Roque on the bar, France also ordered an aircraft carrier from southern Africa, and the possibility of building it itself was not ruled out in the later stage, 60,000 tons is actually a lot, which is in line with France's naval strength.
If you really give France 100,000 tons, France will not be able to use it up.
"That's 160,000 tons." Roque agreed with Bainbridge Colby's suggestion that Britain would certainly not run out of 160,000 tonnes and could give some to southern Africa.
Roque's requirements are not high, Britain now has two aircraft carriers, adding up to 50,000 tons, and giving Britain another 30,000 tons, which is enough for Britain to build another one.
In this way, southern Africa will have a share of 80,000 tons, four 20,000-ton Transvaal-class aircraft carriers can be built, and the Walvis Bay Fleet and Edward's fleet will have two each.
That's it!
