The Goddess Shines on America - Chapter 608
The President and the Department of Defense have put down their words and let Alice be an adviser to make recommendations for the new naval system. Such a thing, of course, can not be formed by anyone’s mouth, so on the night of the decision, she immediately started work in the hotel room and wrote a long report.
This is related to the combat system of the entire U.S. Navy for at least two decades after the end of the Cold War, which is the largest organizational reform since World War II. Therefore, from the White House, down to Capitol Hill, to the bureaucrats of the Department of Defense, and many generals in the navy and air force systems, there are countless joints that need to be opened up. In addition to normal network management, it has to rely on high-quality report documents to work.
As for how to write this report, Alice is very clear.
After the end of the Cold War, the former Soviet Union’s threat to the United States’ ocean dominance declined sharply, but regional conflicts have increased dramatically. The Chinese navy is still in the construction phase of the new threat from the United States, and it still does not have the ability to fully contend with it. Therefore, the strategic policy of the U.S. Navy naturally needs to evolve from the cold war and the ocean and naval warfare to the projection of force on land in order to cope with the disturbing regional conflicts.
Therefore, Alice first wrote the strategic white paper “From Sea to Land” that was supposed to be issued jointly by the Commander of the US Navy, the Secretary of Naval Operations and the Commander of the US Marine Corps in September 1992.
The content of this white paper mainly focuses on the ability to project force on coastal targets, control the coastal and inland strategic routes leading to the sea, and consider projecting force on the ground, including strengthening the coordinated operation of the naval fleet and the marines, and establishing maritime expeditions. The joint operations of the army, the army and the air force, etc., have greatly revised the policy of anti-submarine and competition for sea power in the ocean during the Cold War era.
The second document is the “Research on Destroyer Technology in the 21st Century”, which is paired with the concept of “Surface Warfare in the 21st Century” and the concept of “Frontier—From Sea to Land”, to conduct near-shore operations and support ground attacks. Admission is one of the main tasks of the Navy. It specifically requires that the fleet be able to support ground forces that are 100 nautical miles deep on the land, and put forward new concepts such as “forward presence,” “forward deployment,” and “forward operations.”
After doing this, Alice’s first job was declared complete, two large documents were handed in, and then what to do was done.
Thinking about it and knowing, Bush and others were completely unable to predict that they could write so many things in one night. Therefore, as long as the content of the report is accurate, and it fits the background of the current era rather than dumbly copying 1992, it is impossible for those in the military to be led by her!
After the documents are completed, the work is submitted, which can only be done tomorrow. Alice sat in front of the computer and turned her head to look at the time. There is still a long time before the early morning. If she doesn’t do anything, her little heart that has just been commotion can’t calm down.
Then design specific weapons and equipment.
The umbrella security company has basically qualified as an arms dealer, at least now it can provide the Ministry of Defense with grizzly armored vehicles, but the output is limited.
There is a saying that does not pit arms dealers in the Pentagon is not a good businessman.
In the same way, it is a fool to hand over the most cutting-edge things to the country.
For the past six months, Northrop Grumman has been integrating with Alice’s corporate system. For example, its latest shipyard is a joint venture with Hutchison Whampoa, and it is located somewhere in California. As a veteran warship manufacturer, submarine manufacturer, radar supplier, and military aircraft developer, as a small benefit, it is absolutely capable of completing many of the design products proposed by Alice.
The envisaged arsenal ship has many shortcomings. Although the firepower is extremely powerful, it is extremely dependent on the integrated reconnaissance system. If you want to make it perfect, Alice asks her design ability, but the price it sells to the US military is undoubtedly unacceptable. Therefore, in line with the principle of supplying second-rate products to the outside world, she thought for a while and felt that it would be more reliable to directly build the Zumwalt class.
After surveying the quantity of the ship’s parts and components, she first drew the advanced naval gun system on the computer. That is the design drawing of AGS.
Since entering the age of aviation and missiles, the main task of the navy’s projected force on land has fallen on aircraft and missiles that can accurately strike enemy targets at long distances. Traditional naval artillery bombardment has been shelved due to the decline of combat ships. However, on some occasions, the use of expensive and relatively rare missiles cannot meet demand or is not cost-effective.
For example, when encountering large-scale fortifications and facilities of enemy land forces, rather than targets such as radar stations, it is often not suitable to use missiles that are known for “pointing” because their individual value is not high enough. At this time, a large-caliber naval gun that can quickly dump a large amount of ammunition in an area is more in line with mission characteristics and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, the volume of the artillery shells is smaller, and the firepower density is higher than that of the missiles, allowing more firepower to be stored on the ship.
The current naval guns of the U.S. military have a problem of stalling. In the Gulf War that just ended, the nine cannons of the battleship Missouri were fired twice, and the Iraqi fortifications on the shore were completely destroyed. Although the effect was remarkable, the battleship was also early to be decommissioned, and the navy faced a shortage. The status of the substitute.
Alice knew that before the birth of Zumwalt’s AGS naval gun, the Admiralty spent many days looking for alternatives. Think about it and know that from discovering problems, analyzing problems, proposing solutions, then solving problems, and finally solving problems, even if the whole process takes shape at one time, don’t the bureaucrats have to spend years.
So, let her save this time directly.
The design drawing starts.
AGS uses a polygonal turret with a high stealth design. The entire turret has an empty weight of 5 tons. It uses a 155mm barrel with 62 times the diameter. The chamber capacity is 5 liters. The barrel pitch range is -5~+71 degrees. The maximum rate of fire is about 10-12 rounds per minute, equivalent to the total firepower of six army 155mm artillery.
At the same time, the initial kinetic energy of the AGS shell out of the muzzle is three times as high as that of the replacement after the Missouri cannon. Moreover, it has the ability to fire multiple shells at the same time, that is, through different launch parameters, 4 to 6 shells of a gun can land at a distance of 75 nautical miles away at the same time. In this way, a Zumwalt ship equipped with two AGSs can make 8-12 artillery shells land at the same time, and the firepower is equivalent to a US Marine Corps artillery battalion composed of six M-777-155mm howitzers!
The entire design took one hour to complete. At this moment, the time was stuck at twenty-three o’clock in the middle of the night, and Alice was soft on the computer chair with great satisfaction.
Well, the people at the Admiralty will be crazy.
But before providing this technology, we must first confirm Northrop Grumman’s production capacity in the field of naval guns.
Although the basic industrial standards are beyond doubt, the soft power of engineers and product production experience still needs to be tested.
Oh, by the way, there is also the design of the cannonball library.
I just wanted to move on, but considering that it was late now, Alice decided to wash and sleep.
In this way, a late night passed quickly.
The first thing she did when she got up the next day, Alice rushed to the Pentagon by car and sent the documents she wrote overnight. Fat people don’t eat it in one bite. It will take a while for the military to digest the contents of the document, and then let them fight with the people on Capitol Hill. The matters of the politicians are left to the politicians. Alice walked out of the Pentagon with her front foot, and then rushed to the nearby Washington Airport with her back foot and took off towards the sky.
But not to Los Angeles.
Across the Atlantic, the Boeing 747 headed towards London.
Time to go public.
Now that I got on the ship to build the new navy, there will be more places to spend money in the future, especially for the Gulf War. The arms she bought are also expensive. This is when loans are flying all over the sky. Lack of money requires financing. Think about the recent development results of Umbrella, and it is expected that it will go public.
With the intention of not putting a basket of eggs, let it be listed in London.
On the plane, Alice had sent a series of documents from the Roswell Building.
Up to now, Umbrella has acquired and established 17 pharmaceutical factories, including 3 in the UK and 14 in other European countries. After all, the establishment of the European Union is close at hand, and the British are not sure about Brexit any day in the future. It is a wise choice to put the large forces in the core area.
The company’s current main product in the pharmaceutical field is still weight loss drugs. As for the market size and revenue, just estimate the number of obese patients in Europe and divide it by a ratio that you can take for granted.
Medicine has always been a product that the people can’t live without, but is very distant from the people. How many people would care about which company produced the abatement? This is hard to say, because most people just recognize the hemp itself. Just like many Chinese like the medicines and health products of Jiuzhitang and Tongrentang, they also know the background of these two time-honored brands, but how many will investigate and pay attention to their business conditions and What about the size of the industry?
This is a very interesting question ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The company’s listing is a process of raising funds from the public, that is, taking the public route. Like Apple, its peak market value of 800 billion is supported purely by mobile phones. Can anyone be really crazy without love madness, but it is so high. Looking at Lockheed, it is clear that the F-35, F-22, and various missile satellites are all top-notch products, but its company’s market value is only a mere 30 billion yuan.
The reason for this difference is simple-that is, the people are not birds.
Alice knew that if she let the former Heishui, now Umbrella Security Company go public, it would be good to have a market value of one billion U.S. dollars. But if it’s the umbrella medicine…
Well, it shouldn’t be difficult to pass hundreds of billions, right?
Just wait for the anti-cancer drugs to come out.
Alice really trusts the application potential of the I virus.
