Before a more suitable material is found, any reduction in the volume of the new engine can be regarded as an innovation and breakthrough.

The replacement of armaments is not that simple.

"But things don't happen overnight. You have to ask me to build large power equipment that can be loaded on the ship first?"

Only when the technology is mature can it be lightened a little bit. I don’t need to explain this kind of common sense, right?

"Of course, the formation of the United States Air Force will not be completed so quickly, and you have plenty of time to complete this matter." MacArthur nodded to show accommodation and understanding.He has accurately conveyed the president's words to Howard, and I believe that the other party can understand the warning between words. "While I proposed it, I may not be the one who ends up signing you."

"People are looking for me everywhere. I am obviously an important big capitalist in the United States, but you treat me like an animal." Howard changed to a comfortable sitting position and shook his head. "Unless you can offer me a price that I can accept, there is no need to talk about it."

"I'm not an expert of the Air Force, not even a pilot. Regarding the order of the Air Force's new engine, there will naturally be experts from the Air Force's technology research and development department to negotiate with you." , so he returned to his desk and picked up his pipe.Don't light it up, just hold it in your mouth.

Now the president means to ask Howard not to favor one another and only care about helping the navy. He should also spend more time and thought on taking care of the brothers in the army and the interests of the US government.Although he didn't say what would happen if he didn't do this, Howard wasn't so arrogant that he thought he was the guardian of the Rubik's Cube and dared to confront the US government.

It should be known that he can become the guardian of the Rubik's Cube, and so can others.I don't want the two sides to tear each other up because of this incident, and I still have to listen to what should be listened to.

Although bullshit.

If I say now that I am a public servant of the people, I will see who dares to stand up and oppose it.For the development of the United States, I really worry about it.

"Well, I have received the 'warning' from the President. Thanks to the President for not directly sending the FBI to catch me, it seems that I still have some status in his heart. You want my guarantee, and I can give you a guarantee. I will Take a sensible look at the relationship with the navy, although I don't think their behavior is too much, in my opinion, they are just a bunch of milk babies who are more hungry than others. Is there anything else going on now? If If not, I still have an appointment here..." As he said, Howard was about to get up and leave.There is also a cute little girl outside the office waiting to eat sushi by herself.

Volume 101.2: [-] Howard refuses in anger

"Don't rush away, Mr. Stark." MacArthur stopped the playboy who turned to leave. "We're done talking about this, now let's talk about another..."

"There's still the second half?" Howard pouted, but sat down. "Okay, let's get this over with."

The two faced each other and sat down again. MacArthur held his pipe and thought for a while, then said: "The friends of the United States in Japan expressed their willingness to join the United States with a small gift they found in the microcosm..."

Howard frowned, and blurted out: "Bacteria?" Seeing that the other party did not deny it, he couldn't help laughing, and continued with a bit of foolishness: "I don't even know, when did you become friends? I thought the initiators of these wars They should all be hanged after the war."

"Their people are hateful devils, and I never deny this. But it is precisely because they are devils that they have done everything that devils should do, which prevents us from becoming such devils." MacArthur didn't care, He explained: "When dealing with creatures in this microscopic world, you can't look at them with common sense. Indeed, the things the Japanese did in the Chinese battlefield are inhumane. This is the barbaric thinking of a barbaric country. No matter how they dress like us, This is also a fact that cannot be changed. But in addition to these, you should also see a more positive meaning from it."

Barbaric things should be left to savages, and the Japanese themselves think that they are not human.And the glory of the United States will turn these devils into humans. Only the United States can accommodate them in the whole world. These devils who desire to become humans will be grateful to us.

Howard sneered, hehehe twice, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "For example?"

I saw MacArthur picked up a document on the table, opened one of the pages and read: "A person can survive with only one-fifth of the liver removed, and the blood can still remain active after proper freezing. In addition, you may not know that the Japanese are leading the world in the technology of attenuated live vaccines and serum? They are also leading the world in research on infectious diseases? You must be familiar with the Black Death, right? The Japanese have found a way to control them method of transmission and successfully developed a vaccine."

After Howard listened patiently, he immediately asked a question.

"Then, General, can you tell me. Would it have affected the success of these experiments if they had been carried out on animals?"

Don't tell me you don't know what the price of these data is?

"I really don't think that experimenting on human body is the kind of thinking that normal people should have. If they want to realize the so-called original intention of benefiting mankind, why don't they experiment on animals? If they need to sacrifice part of human beings to achieve the so-called success, it is human beings. The decline of civilization is the tragedy of all mankind. As scientific researchers, they have lost their most basic humanity! What they did to the Chinese in China, on the battlefield, and in the occupied areas made Satan feel ashamed! "

Howard stood up excitedly, his face more serious than ever.

"General, I don't want a repeat of what happened on the Eastern Front. It was a bloody hell. We always try to control everything like a god, but the result often backfires. Human genetic engineering is difficult to get involved at this stage. The restricted area. We can create a super soldier like Steve, that is a one-in-a-billion chance, and the subsequent follow-up or extension experiments, which one is completely successful without sequelae?"

"So we need the Japanese to join in. Maybe these islanders from the East can have different suggestions?" Said other than these things" indifferent expression. "Mr. Stark, I don't care where you learned about the behavior of the Japanese on the Chinese battlefield. It's right for you to get the conclusion from me. What I want to say is that your reaction It's a little too strong, we're not talking about the super soldier program, we're talking about the Japanese. And it's the President's will, and it's in the best interest of the United States."

What do you think we put so much effort into monopolizing Japan against the pressure of the Soviet Union and other allies?To put it in a small way, it is to expand the sphere of influence of the United States, and to say it in a big way, it is for the international status of the United States in the world.

Between countries, how can there be so much warmth to talk about?

Small countries can still watch and help each other, but there are only interests between big countries.

This damn interest!Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, the super-soldier project is so successful there's no reason why it should be abandoned.With so many super-soldier research projects, I don't think it's surprising that one more Japanese will participate in the future.But their behavior is destined to make the whole experiment rush to let more people become victims from the very beginning. With such a group of lunatics helping you, you are so sure that while helping you to see the super soldier plan, these Japanese will not Thinking about making your own super soldier?

"Their addition will only divert the planned project from its original intention. I don't want to see Dr. Erkins' hard work tainted by dirty ambitions. It will stigmatize him by future generations!"

"Pay attention to your wording, doctor." MacArthur showed displeasure.You said that the addition of the Japanese will deviate from the original intention, and I don't deny it, but if you say that the future super soldier plan is filthy and filthy, I will refute you.Our generation is so dirty, isn't it just to make future generations innocent? "We are Americans, and we must put the interests of the United States first. There is only one Dr. Erkins, and he has been murdered by the dirty Hydra. We must first ensure that the super-soldier serum technology he developed with his life continues to be updated, Then talk about something else."

"Including ethics?"

"Including ethics." MacArthur repeatedly emphasized. "Otherwise, how can I comfort him for his contribution to mankind?"

With a sigh in his heart, Howard asked, "Can I refuse?"

"Of course, you have this power." MacArthur said indifferently. "The president hopes that you and Steve can secretly transport this group of people back to the country and use the Mariana, but this is just a suggestion, and it doesn't matter if you don't agree. We can still find someone else."

Air transportation is a good way.Besides, as the commander of the US military stationed in Japan, it is not that he does not have ships belonging to the army.

"Steve won't agree to protect this group of devils." Howard flatly refused.

I'm not saying that if he knew what he was escorting, he would definitely throw all these devils on the plane and let the ocean degrade the garbage.

MacArthur took a different view. "But he's Captain America, and he's obliged to do it for America's sake."

"If you have such an idea, General... I can only say that you don't know him at all. And I suggest that you don't tell him this, if the United States really needs these devils." Howard held back his smile, he Restrain your expression. "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

PS: In fact, I wrote a lot in this chapter, but after thinking about it, I felt that there was no need to stir up emotions here, so I deleted and reduced it to the current number of words.I didn't want to post it at first, if it gets banned, I won't make it up.But for readers who have already read this part, I will explain this plot later.

PS2: Spoiler ahead, the protagonist will travel around the world from 1947, including going to China, and promoting a big event in Japan.This part is not easy to write in detail, and the red line is still not dared to touch, so it can only be sidelined, and everyone knows that the goal will be exceeded in the end.

Volume 102.1: [-] Transfer to Pearl Harbor

"What did the pipe-smoking man tell you?"

After recovering from his contemplation, Howard shook his head in the face of Griffin's curious gaze. "That's not something a child should ask about."

When the girl thumped the dining table, the cups jumped up.She said angrily: "I am Captain Zeppelin."

"Coincidentally, I'm white, so I don't have to listen to you." Howard looked at the girl's swollen face and couldn't help laughing in relief. "Well, it's okay to tell you. The reason why MacArthur asked me is...the president knew about our cooperative relationship with the Navy, so he specially asked him to beat me."

"You mean the Philadelphia experiment?" Griffin asked in surprise. "Isn't this operation already reported by the navy? Why, no approval?"

"Of course it's not just this." Howard shook his head. If it's just because of this, why would he be beaten? "The plan to expand the navy was stopped. After all, the war is over. The United States has no reason to maintain such a large army. Disarmament is inevitable."

If you blindly meet the requirements of the Navy, a big money-burner, Truman can't fill this bottomless pit no matter how much money he spends.

There is no better excuse to rationalize disarmament while taking advantage of the victory of the war.

"Nothing else?" Griffin blinked.

That's it?How many hours do we have to talk about this shit?

"Of course. Otherwise?" Howard asked back.

[Griffin, he is lying, his heartbeat and breathing rate are not the same as before. ] Zeppelin said.

"You're lying." The girl looked at the other person with determination, which made him feel even more guilty.

In order to get rid of this little detective earlier, Howard chose to surrender.

"Okay, I'm really convinced. You women are really...why are you always so persistent in some irrelevant things?" He let out a foul breath, sorted out his words, and calmed down his heart by the way. "The commander-in-chief also told me that after the war, the army aviation will be separated from the army system and form an air force independently. And HNA does not need to maintain such a large establishment, and it will also be abolished. As for me, I was asked to develop a Engines on newly created Air Force fighters. Fueled by the energy of the Rubik's Cube."

The U.S. Air Force was indeed established after the war. Before 1947, the U.S. only had Army Aviation and Hainan Airlines.

Griffin frowned.

"In this way, wouldn't the navy become the biggest loser?" He was warned again, was disarmed again, and shed blood for the country, and now he has to cry again.

Is there anything worse than this?

In this way, when will the transformation of the wife be put on the agenda, as well as the upgrade of the sister-in-law and the enterprise, does the Navy still have extra funds to transform three aircraft carriers in a row?

Howard once again spread his hands on this.

"The war is over. Instead of continuing to serve in the navy, the country rewards them for their bloody battles, isn't it?"

So, is Operation Crossroads still unavoidable?

Griffin was so preoccupied that he ignored Howard.Seeing that the girl didn't bother him, Howard also heaved a sigh of relief, bowed his head and continued to eat.

"What's the matter, you look listless." Noticing Griffin's pensive face, Carter, who had just returned from a date with Steve, played the role of confidant sister again. "Talk to my sister and see what I can do for you."

Carter thought that being unhappy was a normal psychological activity for girls.

"I'm thinking, the United States no longer needs so many military personnel after the war, how many veterans there are under the general situation of dismantling the army, the placement of these people, and..." The girl lowered her eyes, not noticing Carter's slightly stunned expression. "How to deal with such a huge amount of equipment."

Putting two similar things together will make it easy for the listener to lose sight of the primary and secondary, thus ignoring the real point.It is useless for her to worry about the wave of veterans, and this is not what she cares about. Saying this is completely foreshadowing the following.

This time Carter was blind. As an agent, she had just started to learn how to take care of children when she was shocked to find a paper for the final exam in front of her.

It's as if you just finished the novice tutorial and suddenly let you control the mustache, facing the extremely difficult script of Ragnarok in 1944.

"Griffin, can't you think about what a girl your age should think about?" Carter shook his head and smiled. "The Ministry of Defense should ask you to be a consultant."

Griffin heard the ridicule between the other party's words.

"You know, as a biological weapon injected with super soldier serum, I witnessed the tragic Eastern Front in Germany. Although what I saw was only the tip of the iceberg, I was too weak at the time, and all I thought about was how to survive until after the war It's all because of a series of chances and coincidences that I am what I am today." She said slowly. "The war did end as scheduled. This was what I hoped for the most, but I found that I still couldn't fully achieve my wish. Although my people left the battlefield, my heart stayed there. Life after the war brought I am not relaxed or relieved, but a pressure that is different from that on the battlefield, and I am surrounded by this pressure. They may not kill me all at once, but they make me feel their presence all the time."

Everyone can choose their own life.That was Griffin's choice, and if fate had her choose again, she would still do it.

In the crisis-ridden Marvel Universe, if you are not strong, you can only die.She didn't want to be the half of Thanos who snapped his fingers.

However, when people have a choice, they can't just patronize themselves.But it is precisely because of Saratoga and the company that she is so entangled.

"I'm sorry for what happened to you. Really, I know that I may not really empathize with you, but I still hope you can live better." Carter hugged the girl distressedly, and touched her golden hair The head said with relief: "Dr. Erkins once told us that the super soldier serum can give ordinary people an incomparably powerful power. It will make good people better and bad people worse. He is Steve's Life coach, I'm sure the same applies to you. You're a good girl, Griffin. Don't worry about the post-war peace. Me, Steve, and Howard will do everything we can to help Yours. You'll take off your uniform and live here like a real kid."

In her opinion, this child, like many soldiers who participated in the war, had already adapted to the days of high tension and intensity on the battlefield, and was at a loss for what could be said to be an unusually slack life after the war.More seriously, any trouble can stimulate the sensitive nerves of these veterans.

If Griffin becomes like this, psychological intervention is very much needed.

Volume 102.2: [-] Saratoga learns that Missouri has given birth to a ship spirit

"Perhaps. But only when the problem is really solved, I will completely relax and enjoy life." The girl whose face was pressed against the other's soft chest sighed. "I don't doubt you'll help me because you're good people. But you can't help me on this one."

Missouri's identification of friend and foe is temporarily unknown, and Xuefeng is lucky.For the remaining Zeppelin, Saratoga and Enterprise, Zeppelin is part of the agreement reached between himself and the U.S. Navy, but the Secretary of the Navy and senior officials are not lifelong. If you want your successor to continue to implement the former's decision-making, you must always and The Navy maintains a close cooperative relationship.The modernization of Saratoga and the enterprise is the beginning of maintaining a good relationship between the two parties.

They are the three ship spirits that he wants to protect no matter what.But how can I convince the Ministry of National Defense to let them give up cutting military spending and do the same thing?

Is it really possible to only rely on the three-piece suit of the aircraft carrier?

Originally, Griffin believed that with these three aircraft carrier artifacts, it would be safe to keep the three ship spirits, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, and now she expressed doubts about whether they could survive this difficult period.

Now that she cannot propose an aircraft carrier reconstruction plan before this, it is undoubtedly strengthening the US Navy in disguise, and the result is not something she can bear.But if this technology is not handed over now, how can the Navy keep these three aircraft carriers?

After the war, the U.S. Air Force, which evolved from Army Aviation, has always maintained a good alliance with the natal Army. In order to compete for the few remaining military expenditures, the only option is to jointly suppress the Navy, a big money burner.In order to support the emerging arm of the Air Force, the government's financial and technical tilt is inevitable.The future of the Navy is not easy at all...

The period from 1947 to 1950 can be said to be the low point in the development of the US Navy.Because the super-carrier plan touches the interests of the Air Force, under the government's deliberate laissez-faire and biased behavior, the military services, mainly the US Army and Air Force, have repeatedly suppressed the Navy. A crack that is hard to heal.

After 1950, the aircraft carrier proved to be an indispensable decisive weapon again, and the U.S. Navy struggled to defeat the Air Force and began a new round of large-scale construction plans.

If the navy cannot have enough strength to counteract the joint condemnation of other services, it is hard to say that Zeppelin and the others will not be given up by the navy in this attack to recover operating funds.

Sometimes, I know what is the optimal solution option, but I can't choose it for various reasons.For those historical figures who faced the bifurcation of fate and made wrong choices in the eyes of later generations, I can more or less feel their feelings at that time.

This feeling……

Thinking of this, Griffin inevitably felt complicated.It's just that Carter doesn't necessarily know her real concerns.

"We can, use normal people's way to make your heart more comfortable." Carter said softly, touching the girl's head. "Trust us, it won't be too hard."

【... What you said is true? 】

Zeppelin moved the white soul up and down. [Griffin and I both tried to touch it, but got burned.She is stronger than your soul and mine, and she escaped quickly after the plasticity was completed, which further proves that she is a ship spirit with autonomous consciousness. 】

【Heh, heh heh... I didn't expect that we would meet another one. ] Saratoga turns to leave.

【Where are you going? 】Saratoga spoke in a tone that did not seem to be welcoming at all, so Zeppelin hurriedly stopped her. [If you go to find her, I suggest Master that you don't go now.At least until it's determined she won't reveal our existence to humans. 】

[Exposing us is tantamount to her asking for her own death, as long as she still has the brains, she won't do it. 】 Having said that, Saratoga also gave up the idea of ​​finding fault.

When human beings discover that they are not the primates of all things but gods, it means endless troubles.And when they find that their creations don't believe in themselves and are unwilling to accept domination, the trouble is even more.

Even the newborn ship spirits have engraved in their memory the motto that they should not expose themselves easily.

Perhaps existences like Griffin and Zeppelin are really the only ones in the world.

Zeppelin was relieved by Saratoga's reasonableness.

Compared with the company's indifference and indifference, Saratoga, which still shows its true feelings, is easier to get close to. Although this ship spirit who is always trying to prove himself is impulsive, he also has a calm mind.

But Zeppelin immediately showed embarrassment, because she was a negative example of revealing existence to humans.

Saratoga also noticed this, and she spat and said: [Why are you in a hurry, I'm not talking about you, don't take your seat without authorization.You stupid apprentice. 】

【Yes……】

【You just said that her soul is stronger than ours? 】Saratoga said again. [How big is it? 】

[About... the size of a watermelon? ] Zeppelin stretched out two long tentacles, forming a huge circle above his head.

The speed of Saratoga's rotation stagnated, and then she said in a solemn tone: 【The strength of the ship spirit's soul directly affects its strength. If you say her soul is as big as a watermelon, it means that the three of us Adding them up is not her opponent... I'm afraid it's the same with three more.Good guy, this is the first time I have seen such a strong ship spirit. 】

It seems that it is right not to make trouble for her. According to this posture, he will only be the one who will be beaten when he mobilizes the crowd to inquire about the crime.
