"Mr. President!"
Another admiral in the Navy is the commander-in-chief of the joint military exercise. He was a little surprised when he heard that Mr. President was looking for him, but soon his smiling face turned serious.
Immediately afterwards, a somewhat unusual thing happened to the federal people or others, including military observers from various countries.
The formation of the Federation Fleet, which was originally very "unrestrained", suddenly changed, and it became like a defense. The overall change was very eye-catching.
In addition to this change, the content of their exercises has also been cut. In this small-scale encounter, the federal fleet performed the worst, and they destroyed the fewest target ships. ...is doing some conspiracy.
The commander-in-chief of the Gavra Fleet was a little more sensitive than the others, and his excellent experience and intuition immediately discovered the subtleties of the Federation fleet's evolution.
"They're in defensive formation, something must have happened that we don't know, where are their submarines?"
"Their submarine is still docked at the designated location."
"Keep an eye on their submarines and let me know as soon as these submarines go down, understand?"
After instructing his subordinates, the commander-in-chief of the Gavra fleet was still a little worried, and then the Gavra fleet also began to change the formation. The angle of their ships changed at least ten degrees, and the angle of some warships changed more than Thirty degrees, this change is easy to spot.
From a third party's perspective, it seems that both parties...are on the lookout for the other!
This is... to use this military exercise to shoot black guns?
The two countries with the strongest naval military strength in the world suddenly began to change their formations and angles to take a defensive posture. If people in other countries hadn't noticed these subtle changes, they would have perished in the previous war. .
At this time, all the other heads of state were thinking about a question, what would they do if the Gafra and the Commonwealth fought again?
Do you choose to stand in line, or to watch?
Also, will this war spread to them first?
In order to avoid the unfortunate rivalry between the strong and the weak, the styles of the armies of other countries have also begun to change. The warships of some countries with weak military strength directly signaled the failure of maintenance and asked the tugboat to drag them away from the exercise waters. .
So what was supposed to be a wonderful military exercise suddenly became a bit unpredictable.
Because of the problem of changing the angle, the target ship did not switch positions, which led to many warships only the front or rear cannons could fire, far from the shock of the multi-gun salvo.
Bland.
Within less than an hour of these changes, Ambassador Gafra asked to meet with the President, and the heads of state were in close contact.
Of course, none of this has much to do with Lynch. He and Truman and those in the military were eating barbecue and drinking beer while watching the joint military exercise with a sudden change in style.
"It takes about four to five years for a new naval warship to be launched. This span is a bit too long..." Mr. Truman chatted and talked about the service plan of the new armament.
There are many soldiers in the room, whether they are in the army or the navy, their highest rank is no more than a colonel, but behind them are all generals.
Everyone is the backbone of their faction.
The military is independent of the political system and the Ministry of Defense, and within them is the most hated near-dictatorial ruling system, where senior officers have almost unquestionable dominance over their subordinates.
Some people once criticized the military's management for not being transparent enough, but this is the characteristic of the military.
If an institution like the military that involves national sovereignty and security is also turned into a Congress hall, then it will be the real end!
As a politician representative of the military going abroad, Mr. Truman can be said to be in a high position now. The military is very optimistic about his future and will always send some new generation of military representatives to communicate with him. ,Build relationships.
In the government, someone speaks for himself, and no one speaks for himself. Whether the person who speaks has status or not is definitely two feelings.
As for Lynch, he was also a good friend and the admirals liked him.
Speaking of more professional issues, Lynch naturally stopped speaking, and those in the Navy began to chat along the topic of Mr. Truman.
"Some of our not-so-behind training ships are undergoing transformation and are unlikely to perform far-sea missions, but they are still capable of near-sea missions, and a temporary formation will come out probably next year."
The talking navy colonel sighed, "The construction of warships is too time-consuming. It would be nice if building warships could be as simple as building equipment for the army."
"If you want to come to the army, we can change it. The new equipment has already started to be changed, I guarantee you will be satisfied!", an army officer interjected and joked.
The navy has proven itself, so not only does the navy not need to reduce its forces to expand its forces, but the army is still in the process of small-scale abolition.
But there will be no disarmament plan next year. At least for a few years, the Army will not have the possibility of disarmament. After all, the Army is the most important and the last resort for homeland defense.
Some of the army's new equipment is nothing more than new standard weapons, two semi-automatic rifles, a few new pistols, some new machine guns, new artillery, in short, those things, that is, the performance has improved.
By the way, this time the army has completely integrated all the calibers. No matter which weapon is produced by the military industry group, the caliber of the weapons in the same specification is guaranteed to be the same.
This is also proposed by the Ministry of Defense, and reducing the logistical pressure is the first priority.
The reason for this is that the International Strategy Research Group of the Ministry of National Defense believes that the probability of future defensive wars in the federal territory is not high, and it is more likely that active offensives will break out, so logistics is very important.
A group of people were chatting hotly, while Lynch was watching TV, eating barbecue and drinking beer. He didn't interrupt, and no one communicated with him, but it didn't seem that he was lonely.
Suddenly, Mr. Trueman asked, "Lynch, what do you think future wars will be like?"
This question is a little bit level, and from decades ago to now, the development of war has been too fast to adapt to.
The advent of motorized troops and more advanced weapons has completely changed the way of warfare, and the pictures of the old days of lining up and shooting each other will never be seen again.
Artillery, especially large-caliber artillery, dominates warfare, and neither bunkers nor trenches are of little significance in the face of dense artillery coverage.
It's like each stage of the war will fall into a stagnation after it develops to a certain form. The form of war has not changed much in the past ten years. What will future wars be like.
Lynch took a sip of beer, the malt taste was strong, he put down the beer in his hand, thought about it, and said, "There are our soldiers on land, and my soldiers in the ocean, where else do you think it should be? Have our soldiers?"
It was an interesting question, and the group of soldiers started to think about it. Mr. Trueman didn't drink much. He seemed to already know the answer, and said in a less certain tone, "Heaven?"
Lynch nodded, "Yes, heaven."
"The sea, land and air, attacking from three sides at the same time is the future form of war. The age of giant ships will be ended by the age of sky..."
As soon as Lynch said this, a naval officer interrupted him, "Impossible!"
"Mr. Lynch, I admit...your idea is interesting, but it's not realistic."
"I know those flying machines, they can only carry two people, and it's hard to fly anything more, how can this kind of thing end the navy?"
He said in a much louder voice, "Does it fly and crash into the warship?"
People laughed out loud, and so did the officer, "What else can they do with those aluminum-clad wood shelves other than smear two pools of blood on the deck?"
"Ah, yes, they can wear out our cleaners!"
Seeing the officers laughing out loud ~IndoMTL.com~ drinking beer, Mr. Trueman didn't join in, but was thinking about it seriously.
Lynch also had a calm look on his face. He didn't feel any discomfort. A civilized person would not be angry because a group of backward savage natives laughed at his top hat.
It's like this moment, when he decides that the future belongs to the sky, and these people will eventually witness the arrival of an era that belongs to the sky.
The more joy they laugh now, the more shame they will be in the future.
"Is there any chance of an aircraft doing this, Lynch?", Mr. Trueman was still relatively sane, "I know it can carry some lightweight weapons, but the anti-ship weapons seem too It is heavy, and the weight of a torpedo is about to catch up with the current aircraft, how can it become the master of the new war?"
Lynch pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one, puffing out a cigarette as he said, "Technology is always improving."
"When people used a musket for the first time to kill an enemy fifty yards away, they would never have imagined that in the future there would be an enlarged musket capable of firing dozens of pounds of shells to kill a group of people at once."
"A lot of people now think that an aircraft is a dangerous game for the rich, so why can't it fly with a torpedo or two in the future?"
"Special bombs, special torpedoes, the times are always advancing, and this day will not be too far away."
Mr. Truman looked at Lynch thoughtfully, "That's why you started an aircraft company, for the future sky?"
"Maybe, maybe not, there will always be someone trying to find a way to the future. I'm not the first, nor will I be the last."
"But in this case, I'm confident I'll be the one to succeed!"
