Well, we must admit that although everyone has survived Party B, the joys and sorrows between people are different after all. Yu Lian has never been an empathetic model Party B. In fact, when
On January 4, less than two hours after the Polaris Design Bureau sent over the preliminary plan, a long list of hundreds of revision comments was sent directly back.
The other party also added these words at the end of the construction list: "Your plan is very imaginative and creative, but it has so many flaws, which is really an eye-opener for us. The first Monday after the New Year holiday
, we will start the second meeting, hoping that before that, we can have a more mature and appropriate plan. After all, we are not devils. If you are really unable to do it, don’t force it. In fact, I
Or some other solution.”
It’s the first Monday, so aren’t there only three days left?
At this time, the designers of Polaris Arsenal finally realized what it was like to be a serious Party B.
You know, they are one of the top military design companies in the alliance and even the entire galaxy. Even if they are not as good as the T0 level like Kagar next door and Skyfire from the opposite empire, they can still be at the forefront of T1.
When doing business with other countries, customers have always begged them to work as if they were coaxing their ancestors. Even though Party A was cautious, as if risking the disdain of the world, it proposed with the utmost respect in a trembling voice and a consultative tone.
A little opinion will be punished by designers like a primary school student.
"You (these rubes playing in the mud and barbarians chewing bones) know nothing about military industrial design, so just follow my design!"
The so-called strong party B, the so-called "buy if you like, but leave if you don't" is this feeling. Of course they enjoy this feeling.
However, this time Party A, Major General Yu Lian of that community, is different. Although the Polaris Design Bureau can boss Party A around various third-party small countries and autonomous alliance countries, it really can't stand up to Yu Lian.
.
The person who spoke for the community on the purchase of dreadnoughts was a true war hero and a powerful psyker. Judging from his resume, he was definitely the type who would kill people if he disagreed and would get angry casually.
If he is dissatisfied, he might actually jump up and chop himself with a knife.
Moreover, judging from the revision comments sent by others, he is very knowledgeable about shipbuilding and design.
What's more important is that only two hours have passed, and the other party has already given hundreds of opinions, and none of them are pointless and unreasonable. It seems that he can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of this equipment plan just by looking at it.
.
How can you see through their designs at a glance? It is clearly a slap in the face of these designers, ah no, it is completely exposing their bottoms!
For Party B, the only thing worse than Party A who does a lot of shit because they don’t know what to do is Party A who knows a lot but does a lot of shit!
But, so what? Can we still slow down our work? Can we still say to that earthling, "If you like it, buy it, buy it, or don't buy it, get out of here"?
Didn't they already say that? If they can't come up with a reliable plan, they will drag the completed hull back to China and outfit it themselves. By then, it will not be unacceptable to introduce equipment and weapons from the empire.
At that time, what will be involved are diplomatic issues and leakage of military aircraft secrets, which are not something that small designers can afford.
In addition, as an addition to these Dreadnought-class ships, the equipment of the entire synthetic division is already in the transportation channel - after all, that is General Gujiao's last wish, and the military is indeed very interested in this kind of "sent to the door"
The "test product" is full of interest, and the efficiency is naturally very high - but the problem is that even if it is an additional investment, it can only be called an "additional investment" after the business is completed, otherwise it will be called an "unnecessary loss".
The designers actually knew very well that if they really only caused leaks and diplomatic disputes, they might be able to land safely, but if they caused "unnecessary losses" to the employer, then the problem would be very serious.
"...The Alliance has been doing military business with the people of Earth for so many years, and our Polaris Design Bureau has also done a lot of work, but this time it was really the most frustrating. It really brought shame to our ancestors!" Design
A senior designer from the bureau said helplessly.
Isn't that right? Although the former arms purchase representatives from the Earth were more assertive than many small countries, they were not much more assertive. Our own side can still play the role of a stronger side.
"How about we stop doing this?" a stubborn person said.
The director of the design bureau said: "This is the job that the new director's young boss found for us! If this order is completed, maybe we can challenge the Kajal Design Bureau."
On the other hand, sensible people have suggested that since we can't disagree, why not find someone who can make peace with us?
The so-called "young boss of the new director", of course, refers to Claire Belmont. After all, this guy now has a serious military position in the alliance. No matter how the alliance institutionalizes revolving doors and political donations, some things still remain the same.
It needs to be paid attention to.
As a result, the newly promoted Alliance Navy Commodore and Assistant Inspector of the Extraordinary Administration handed over all his positions as directors, specialists, supervisors, consultants, etc. in various major enterprises.
All were replaced with various vests and tools.
Of course, this kind of operation cannot be hidden from one's own people. The people of Polaris Design Bureau naturally know who is the real owner.
However, Claire Belmont answered them like this: "I am just a soldier, an ordinary public servant. What does your company's affairs have to do with me?"
Just when the designers lamented that his shamelessness had reached the sky, he added: "However, I think this is not an insurmountable difficulty. Why do you think of finding a relationship first, instead of working hard?
How about trying to meet the needs of customers? The Polaris Design Bureau that I know is not like this!"
Well, the thing that is more painful than having a difficult Party A is having an inhumane boss.
So, in the next few days, they finally realized what it means to stay up late and work overtime, what it means to be 007, and what it means to be a laborer.
After sending several designers and interns who had done the most work to the ICU for intravenous drips, the plan after three revisions was finally released before the meeting. Then, the first meeting after the New Year came.
To everyone's relief, Yu Lian, the worst Party A, behaved very politely at first.
"I actually don't have any objections to the previous things." He showed a pleasant smile, and there was even obvious appreciation in his eyes.
As soon as these words were spoken, the representatives of the Polaris Design Bureau suddenly showed expressions of joy, and their whole bodies were filled with a surging sense of pride and accomplishment. Of course, there was also an uncontrollable sense of emptiness.
At that moment, those social beasts who had sacrificed their hair and livers with all their heart and soul to finally get the sponsor's father to speak finally became possessed by the souls of these elite designers.
Yu Lian laughed: "But, as for the hangar..."
In an instant, the torture they had suffered in the past few days came again, and the designers suddenly showed expressions as if they were constipated. Some even rolled their eyes and trembled to take the medicine.
Claire Belmont looked at the representatives from the Earth opposite, and found that except for Yu Lian, they all had the pleasure of watching the excitement without taking it too seriously. Then he looked at several design bureaus that were about to lose their temper and met the standards. He couldn't help but feel
Shaking his head secretly.
You really can't do it without me!
He explained with a smile: "This hangar is designed according to the standard Type 2 escort fighter warehouse. It can maintain the maintenance and supply of four squadrons of multi-purpose fighters. It is really a genuine Type 2, domestically produced
The Titan ship, as well as the Turanka-class dreadnoughts under construction, all use the same type."
Yu Lian put down the information and said expressionlessly: "I wanted to ask before, why did you become the representative of this meeting?"
His eyes flashed on the second rose star on Krel's shoulder: "And how long has it been? Now he has become a major general? You are indeed a fool. Promotion is like building an orbital elevator."
"I think you are really not qualified to criticize me in this regard." Krel said helplessly, and then raised his head proudly: "Besides, I have now succeeded General Gu Jiao as the Acting Deputy Executive Minister of the Ministry of National Defense Equipment!"
"Oh, you're not going to do the work of the Extraordinary Administration?" Yu Lian raised his eyebrows.
"Our alliance is very open-minded. Of course, part-time jobs are allowed. Oh no, that's not the point. The point is the design bureau's plan. Everyone worked overtime to revise it, because the hangar..."
Yu Lian nodded and interrupted the other party: "Yes. I know that everyone in the design bureau is working hard, but I just put forward suggestions for modification. Isn't it you, the boss, who made them work overtime and stay up late?"
"This is a rumor!" Belmont said loudly: "I am just an ordinary social instrument, and my relationship with all enterprises in this country is innocent!"
Is now the time to discuss this kind of topic? Colonel Silva, who was sitting on the left side of Yu Lian, glanced at Yu Lian secretly, and then at Major Rozez who was sitting next to him and was taking notes with an indifferent expression. Finally,
Then he looked at the Alliance side opposite. The military representatives were negligible, but at the Polaris Design Bureau side, Krell's expression was inevitably showing a bit of class hatred.
So that’s it, during negotiations, you can use this method of making jokes to divide the other party’s team. It’s true that the capable can do anything!
Krell coughed and said seriously: "The reason why I recommend Polaris' plan is out of public interest. The spirit of the universe can bear witness to my innocence!"
Yu Lian waved his hand: "I know you are impatient, but don't be impatient. I think, brother Krel, we should be a little more mature and not go off topic."
Who went off topic first?
"Look, doesn't the atmosphere become more relaxed now?" Yu Lian said with a smile.
As a result, Claire Belmont opposite also showed a constipated expression.
I see, before formal negotiations, you can break the mentality of the head of the delegation on the other side! Learn how!
Krell took a few deep breaths and then said seriously: "There will never be any cutting corners during construction. Have you read the list? The charging, loading and maintenance robots are all the latest models. Even us
In the Alliance, there are only a few Republic-class Titans that have completed this type of transformation. Brother Yu Lian, we have known each other for such a long time, when has my brother ever tricked you?"
"It's a special hangar for general-purpose multi-purpose fighter aircraft, right?" Yu Lian said calmly.
"Is there any problem with this?" Krel was startled: "Or do you want to change it into a special hangar for escort fighter planes? This design is not impossible, as long as the connection equipment is slightly adjusted."
After all, these ships are dreadnoughts, not aircraft carriers. Of course, they do not need particularly large hangars. They can accommodate everything from fighter jets to sublight speed interceptors to orbital bombers.
However, if a large battleship encounters an ambush by a group of individual enemy aircraft without a frigate, the situation will be somewhat embarrassing.
The important thing to note here is that it is embarrassing rather than fatal.
In an era where defense with big guns and giant ships is better than offense, it is actually difficult for small fighter planes to cause fatal damage to large warships.
Their main role on the battlefield is to attack the enemy's small and medium-sized warships and prevent the opponent's lightning strikes. Or they can disrupt the enemy fleet's array and create conditions favorable to one's own side in the decisive artillery battle.
But in any case, even if the lion is stung by a mosquito, it will be very disgraceful. To be on the safe side, the battleship will still bring a certain amount of escort fighters. Anyway, they are Titan ships and dreadnoughts with huge mass, and everyone does not mind wasting tonnage too much.
Therefore, a considerable part of the cabins will still be allocated to the hangar.
There is no way, these days, even most heavy cruisers can carry at least one squadron of fighters, how can the dreadnought be exempted?
Yu Lian personally is quite opposed to this kind of snake oil design. A battleship carrying heavy armor and huge guns has a hangar on it. This is no longer a Maozi-style aircraft-carrying cruiser, but is clearly a notebook-style aviation battleship.
However, after all, this is a mainstream design that has been circulated for thousands of years. With his current authority, he cannot interfere in the design of the main structure of the battleship from the beginning.
However, he can finally intervene in the installation of specific equipment, which is better than nothing.
"I hope to install a type 1 assault speedboat hangar." Yu Lian smiled.
Krell was startled for a moment, and then fell into deep thought. The designers and military representatives of the alliance looked at each other, inevitably showing doubts. If these people didn't know that Yu Lian was knowledgeable, they would definitely think that this was a lack of knowledge.
The idiot Party A started to command Xia Jiba.
Colonel Silva hesitated for a moment and finally did not speak. He just sighed silently and looked at Rozez again.
He is an armaments expert, but he is not a radical person, and he is not optimistic about this extreme design. Most of the people in the delegation are the same as himself. However, who said that the direct leaders in the delegation are too strong? Once
The matters that have been decided cannot be influenced by the opinions of their subordinates.
In addition, Major Luo Zeshi was on Yu Lian's side unconditionally, and he even came up with a report on a new weapon, so he barely convinced everyone.
...I hope this so-called light-wing ship really has the combat effectiveness imagined.
At this time, Krell added: "Speedboat hangar?"
"Yes, Type 1 speedboat hangar, the type that can carry six assault assault boats." Yu Lian repeated, and then explained: "Anyway, the Type 12 deflection shield and the Cloud Giant engine are all new equipment.
Okay, our ship has almost become your test product, so let’s just test it to the end. One thing to say, I am actually very optimistic about the performance of your new engine and shield. In this way, these few
With one dreadnought, it can assume the function of central breakthrough. With more assault boats on board, it can better implement key gang-hopping tactics."
At this point, he showed an expression like "Look, don't I take good care of you?"
Then, he pointed to his nose: "Besides, we are a proud fighting gang!"
Krell was still thinking, but he really couldn't figure out the other party's intention for a while. Instead, the director of the Polaris Design Bureau said: "As a result, the dreadnought can only carry one squadron of fighters at most."
"It doesn't matter. I'm also very satisfied with the performance of your wave gun group and turbo laser group. The air defense problem is not big." Yu Lian shrugged: "Besides, battleships are weapons, and what a dreadnought should do is to fight through obstacles and get into battle.
As a warrior, can you expect to never get hurt? What's the difference between this and a road specimen wearing ceremonial armor?"
Who are you scolding?
The military representatives of the alliance, who liked to place the battleships behind the large fleet, felt like they had been shot in the knee, but inexplicably felt that Yu Lian's words still made sense.
But Claire glanced at Yu Lian very suspiciously. He still felt that there must be evil spirits in this, but for a while he couldn't find any evidence.
