Chapter 21: Simple Aircraft Carrier (Repair)
Halfway through the conversation, John. Admiral Jericho stopped talking, for after opening the box, Douglas Haig had brought out an unbelievable contradiction. John. Admiral Jericho looked at the model in front of him, it seemed like it was just a toy for children to play with.
"Toys?"
"No, General, you should call it a naval warship!"
"It's not dangerous at such a young age, but if it's like this, it's ......"
Douglas. As Haig spoke, he looked like he was smug about something. His hand continued to take out small things in the box, which were placed on top of the "toy" as he spoke. Finally made John. Admiral Jerryka understood the "function of the toy" because he saw that the last thing he put on him was a small model airplane.
John. Admiral Jericho looked at what he saw, he couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe that there could be such a crazy person in the world who could come up with such a solution.
"My God, is this also an aircraft carrier?"
This thing in front of him can actually be an aircraft carrier, he can't think of it, can such a thing also take off and land planes? But the facts are in front of us, it is indeed an aircraft carrier, although it is very different from all the ships at this time.
First of all, it's a catamaran that no one has ever seen before. Two long, very sturdy-looking round tubes, with cabins on top, and a long, wide deck with cabins and devices attached to them, on which the small plane was placed.
"See, my general, it can load planes, and can take off and land at sea. How about my general, do you think the idea is practical? If you're interested, Miss Marianne from their company is right here, so if you're interested, you can talk to her! ”
"MPM Military Industrial Group?!"
John. Admiral Jericho chewed on the name in his mouth, and suddenly, it occurred to him that it was a name that the Navy soldiers had been cursing a lot lately. Moreover, the founders of this company are two Chinese Americans, and for some reason he intuitively thinks that the background of this company is very complicated, and maybe it is better for him not to have contact with the people in this company.
"Boom ......"
The experimental quadruple 12.7mm machine gun fired bullets into the sky without stopping. With a much longer range than an ordinary machine gun and a much more intensive range of firepower, it once again opened fire to a target aircraft in the sky and exploded, a sound that seemed to confirm their sincerity for the "MPM military-industrial complex".
"Well, maybe I should meet her! If only she could explain this weird 'navy toy' to me! ”
As he spoke, his gaze once again took a closer look at this strange aircraft carrier, which could support aircraft take-off and landing. In the surprised gaze, there was a doubt that could not be concealed.
"Admiral Jericho, it's my pleasure to meet you! I'm Marianne from MPM Military-Industrial Group. ”
Just fiddling with John. Admiral Jericho looked up at the sound, and what fell on him was a quiet, elegant-looking French girl. Her long chestnut hair was coiled at the back of her head, and her eyes flashed with an eager gaze that made one doubt her sincerity.
"Hello, please be seated! Miss Marianne, can this ship really take off and land planes, and support them for long periods of combat at sea? ”
"Yes, Mr. Admiral, the main function of this ship is to transport and take on the task of taking off and landing aircraft, but as you know, it only has the most basic equipment for self-defense, so it cannot fight alone!"
Marianne's answer put John. Admiral Jericho was confused, he looked at this "naval toy" several times, and then he found an important problem, because he saw the scale of the model of the battleship and made a quick calculation in his mind.
"It's impossible, this ship of yours is about 100 meters, and we all know that an aircraft cannot take off at such a short distance!"
Hearing his questioning, Marianne smiled slightly. On the plane when he came, Tang Yunyang had completely told him about this aircraft carrier and its structural characteristics. As for his own inconsistencies, he just didn't want to give Xia Fei the feeling that he was too close to the British side.
"General, please rest assured that our designers have taken this into account when designing. Because the deck of our improvised aircraft carrier is too short, we installed a catapult device on the ship. ”
While talking, it was obvious that Marianne had already played with Marianne in front of John. Admiral Jericho began to disassemble this "naval toy". Remove a few screws and you can lift the upper deck.
"General, please see, this is a catapult developed by our MPM Military Industry Group that uses a 3.5-ton truck engine as the power, which can give the aircraft the auxiliary power it needs to take off, for example, our company's 'Tomcat' fighter only needs a distance of 50 meters to take off, so it ......"
With Marianne painting her nails in bright colors, John. Admiral Jericho saw what appeared to be a machine at the tail of those decks, and the decks were long tracks. After lifting the deck, there are small models in the compartments divided below the deck.
"These are ammunition with oil and water tanks, then hangars, restaurants, toilets, war rooms, power cabins, and the ship will use the power equipment on the submarine. You see, General, we have thought of everything. The hangar can store 10 aircraft, and ours is double-decker, so this humble boat can fit 20 aircraft. Well, these are the habitation compartments, the cabins for the mechanic and the pilot. ”
Marianne said as she removed the individual compartments, and by the time she had finished her introduction, the entire ship had been folded clean, except for a few steel frames and two torpedo-like hulls underneath.

These are three anti-aircraft modules on each side, and two anti-aircraft modules at the bow and stern of the ship, and these are the "raindrop" quadruple 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns that you see today, which will provide close air defense protection for warships. ”
As she spoke, Marianne began to put the toys back together. John. Admiral Jericho shook his head, not dissatisfied with the warship, as long as he could defend himself against the enemy's hateful "bugs", he was willing to use any kind of weapon.
"However, such a warship cannot be completed quickly, Miss Marianne, you probably don't know our situation, what we need is ......"
John. Admiral Jericho wanted to say: "What we need are some large aircraft carriers that can provide air defense for the naval fleet and conduct air attacks, what can such a small thing do?" ”
