Bright Sword: I am Li Yunlong's old squad leader

"What are your names?"

"Sir, my name is Xu Guoyou, his name is Xu Guofu, and this one is Li Wanli. We are all students studying in the United States."

These international students looked at Wang Tianyou with smiles on their faces.

"Have you ever been in a shipyard in the United States?"

The students all nodded. "Sir, not only have we been there, we also participated in the construction of their aircraft carriers USS Enterprise and USS Hornet."

Oh my god, I found a treasure.

The USS Enterprise and USS Hornet were the largest aircraft carriers in the United States during World War II.

The full load displacement of these two aircraft carriers can reach 40,000 tons.

Both aircraft carriers can carry more than 70 carrier-based aircraft.

"Can we build our own aircraft carrier?" Wang Tianyou asked bluntly, and all of them nodded.

"What's the problem?"

"It's not difficult. With just a few of us, any difficulty is not a difficulty."

This sounds quite encouraging.

Wang Tianyou likes to hear these words.

With a few of them around, no difficulties are difficult. This is a manifestation of extreme self-confidence.

"With our existing shipyards, when will we be able to build an aircraft carrier?"

Xu Guofu: "In two years, we can build a medium-sized aircraft carrier."

Wang Tianyou was not interested in heavy aircraft carriers at all. He wanted to build a heavy aircraft carrier that could carry 80 carrier-based aircraft.

The role that a heavy aircraft carrier can play on the battlefield is even greater than that of 2 to 3 heavy aircraft carriers.

"I am not interested in medium-sized aircraft carriers. I am most interested in heavy aircraft carriers."

The men looked at each other and said, "Sir, if you want to build a heavy aircraft carrier, you will need large lifting equipment."

"Don't tell me that I can't solve these problems. What I can provide you with is manpower, material and financial resources. Other problems need to be solved by you college students yourself." Where did Wang Tianyou go to find a heavy crane for them.

The few people discussed in a low voice for a while and then nodded.

It can be seen that these people have already discussed it.

As long as they discussed it, Wang Tianyou would be relieved.

Most of the international students of this generation are extremely patriotic.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to come back so easily after studying abroad.

These international students are brave, enterprising, able to endure hardships and struggle.

As long as they are provided with a broad enough stage, they will definitely be able to achieve results.

"How much does it cost to build a heavy aircraft carrier? I hope you can make an aircraft carrier similar to the Enterprise and Hornet." The only thing Wang Tianyou could offer now was money.

The commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, was cheated out of 500 million oceans by Wang Tianyou.

Later he attacked the First Army Headquarters and seized several million dollars.

Wang Tianyou has plenty of money.

"It will probably cost 800 million dollars." Li Wanli raised his right hand and made the shape of an eight.

Fang Tianyi was very excited when he heard this. 800 million oceans, even if it was 5000 million oceans, he could get it.

"Can you guys build several aircraft carriers at the same time? I will prepare the money you need as soon as possible."

Xu Guofu frowned, a little worried.

"Sir, it is not difficult to see an aircraft carrier. The most important thing is to build the warship." Li Wanli sighed.

“Yes, an aircraft carrier only needs to arrange a straight-through deck on the basis of the ship, and then add some arresting locks.

But if we want to build warships, we need to have corresponding large calibers, artillery, torpedo tubes, sonar, etc...."

After hearing this, Wang Tianyou nodded. It was indeed the case.

To build a modern warship, you must have supporting facilities.

Take the US Iowa and battleships for example, their naval guns can fire 40 nautical miles.

This 402mm naval gun is not something that ordinary countries can produce.

Even if it can be produced, can such a large-caliber naval gun and such shells be produced?

In addition, this kind of large-caliber naval gun must be equipped with an automatic loader, and it is almost impossible to load it manually.

This kind of large-caliber naval gun can weigh more than one ton per shell. If it is loaded entirely by manpower, how many people would be needed? How long would it take to load one shell?

"You students studying in the United States, come with me to the side. Let's sit down and discuss this slowly." Wang Tianyou made a gesture of invitation and walked away with a few people.

Huang Jinrong and his men followed closely.

Wang Tianyou and his companions came to a secluded place where there was no beeping sound of machines.

Everything is quiet.

"If we go all out at the weapons manufacturing factory in Shanghai, how long will it take to produce large-caliber naval guns?" This is what Wang Tianyou is most concerned about.

"It definitely cannot be produced in a short period of time." Li Wanli directly poured a basin of cold water on it.

"But we can import from developed countries like Germany and France."

"The US has very advanced warship production technology. I wonder if they are willing to help us."

Wang Tianyou frowned and thought for a moment. In this era, China and the United States did not have a falling out.

The United States was also dissatisfied with the Japanese aggressive momentum in the Pacific battlefield.

Wang Tianyou knew that there would be a war between the United States and the Japanese sooner or later. As long as the Japanese were made anxious on the battlefield in China, they would definitely march into the South China Sea in order to plunder raw materials.

By that time, the United States will have a good fight with the Japanese in the Pacific.

"I have a group of Russian military experts, all of whom are experts in weapons.

Taking them all over might provide some ideas for our weapons development."

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Tell me what equipment is needed to achieve stable and reliable large-caliber artillery. We must solve these equipment problems from the source.

In the short term, we can import.

But in the long run, we must develop a complete military-industrial system of our own.”

After hearing this, Xu Guofu and the others nodded repeatedly.

Over the years, no one has cared so much about China's armaments.

If someone had paid attention to China's military construction earlier, China's military would not have developed so backward.

"Sir, please forgive me for being blunt, but as long as we have enough material and financial resources, as long as we have enough personnel, we will be able to build these weapons and equipment sooner or later."

"I really like what you said," As a person who traveled through time from the 21st century, Wang Tianyou witnessed the rapid achievements made by China in the s and s.
