Lynch spent the whole day busy, and the first batch of 35 planes had been handed over.
This was thanks to the performance of the plane, which allowed people to save some effort in the production of the plane.
There was no need to refer to the dynamics, even if there were some rough edges, it didn't matter if the rivets were directly exposed …
If these problems were put in the future, it would definitely be a design disaster.
But at this time, there were no strict requirements for the height, speed, and load of the plane. As long as it could fly, land, and not be so easily damaged, then it was a qualified product.
This was also thanks to the ease of operation of the aluminum alloy. In short, the overall production speed was very fast, and it was expected that all the planes would be delivered by the end of the year.
In fact, if they ordered wooden structures, it would be faster. There were certainly not as many assembly line workers as carpenters.
With the delivery of the first batch of planes, the lieutenant general's liaison contacted Lynch and said that the lieutenant general wanted to talk to Lynch.
In the morning, after dealing with all the things, and after signing a 100,000 dollar contract with Professor Raymond, Lynch rushed to the lieutenant general's manor.
The lieutenant general was preparing dinner by the lake. In addition to him, there were many military generals and officers present.
Lynch noticed that on this occasion, the lowest rank was a field officer, and the highest was a major general, and there were as many as five of them.
This was almost all the power of the Navy on Bupain's side. If there was enough time, maybe the lieutenant general could gather all the Navy generals and senior officials in the country.
He had this status and power because he established the Federation Navy's dominance in the world.
"You're here …"
When he saw Lynch in the distance, the lieutenant general waved his hand. Some officers' eyes stayed on Lynch for a moment, and most of them nodded with a smile. Lynch also responded politely.
When he walked to the lieutenant general, the lieutenant general patted him on the arm. "Help me deal with these ribs."
In fact, this kind of thing could be handed over to other people. He just wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Lynch.
The two men surrounded a huge oven with more than a dozen beef ribs, which looked enough for 20 or 30 people.
There were also a few ovens in the surroundings, with all kinds of ingredients placed on them. There were specialized chefs cooking.
"We've been talking with Shep and Tonga recently. They believe that our industrial foundation is enough for us to design an aircraft landing platform on the sea, but this requires a lot of technological advancements."
Ever since the Vice Admiral saw the planes attacking the beach and the woods, he immediately realized that these buzzing things in the sky would change the future naval battle.
They only needed to fly above the local fleet and drop cannonballs or bombs to severely damage the enemy's warships.
More importantly, after obtaining the eight prototypes, the military industrial group produced an experimental anti-submarine bomb.
This type of bomb could cause devastating damage to submarines that were less than 15 meters deep. This also indicated that aircraft would play an important role in future wars.
The value of airplanes was getting bigger and bigger, but the restrictions were also very big.
Shep and Coeli were the main suppliers of the navy's warships. In fact, there were some other shipping companies, but they were lacking in research and development.
Many of them used Shep and Coeli's blueprints to produce warships.
Shep and Coeli's engineers believed that the Federation's industry couldn't meet the requirements of building a mobile runway on the sea, but it wasn't impossible, it still needed a little technological breakthrough.
Maybe it could be done in 3 or 5 years, maybe it could be done in 10 years, it depends on the speed of technological breakthroughs.
In this case, the Vice Admiral immediately thought of the plan Lynch mentioned before, so he called Lynch.
Lynch listened very carefully, his big heart slightly accelerated. He faintly knew why the Vice Admiral called him. This was a big order.
Even when he was eating, his heart didn't beat faster like this.
Moreover, this order wasn't as simple as money, it meant that Lynch would have more intimate contact with the Navy.
As the future "Father of the Air Force", no one could easily shake his position and cause political damage to him as long as he firmly grasped the Navy and the Air Force.
"I'm listening …" Lynch flipped the ribs in the oven. He was very well-behaved, it was in line with his appearance.
Young, handsome, polite, sensible.
The Vice Admiral also flipped the oily ribs. "I discussed with the people in the Ministry of National Defense, we think your idea is in line with the strategic needs of the Federation's navy and national defense in the next 10 years."
"But this matter is a bit sensitive, we can't spread it around the world. We have to build military bases in front of their door, it's a threat to them, you know what I mean?"
Lynch nodded. "We are a peace-loving country, we are also peace-loving people, we won't build military bases, we will only help those poor and backward countries improve their infrastructure."
"Recently, I've been planning to set up a shipping company, I also plan to build some warehouses and supply ports in the Atlantic and Eastern oceans …"
The Vice Admiral looked at Lynch with satisfaction. He felt that if it wasn't for Lynch's current status, he wouldn't be able to change his profession.
The Vice Admiral even wanted Lynch to join the Strategic Command, this child was too sensible.
Lynch built various aircraft transit and supply stations around the world in his private name, as well as deep-sea ports, making strategic arrangements for the navy.
The Strategic Command of the Ministry of National Defense believed that if there was another war that affected the world in the future, it was very likely that the scale and severity of the war would far exceed the last world war.
This also indicated that the war would spread to all parts of the world. In this case, if there were supply and transit stations in different areas, it would undoubtedly provide the Federation's army with the ability to quickly and effectively enter the battlefield and attack in a roundabout way.
After repeated discussions, the Vice Admiral and the Ministry of National Defense finally agreed to Lynch's idea of building military bases around the world.
But not in the name of the military or the Federation government, but in the name of a private individual, only this way would not trigger certain people's nerves.
Lynch's empty hand clenched into a fist. "May I know … how many bases do I have to build?"
The Vice Admiral didn't hide anything and directly said, "In five years, you have to complete the construction of at least six military bases. In eight years, you have to complete the construction of about twelve to fifteen bases."
"As for the future …" The Vice Admiral hung the pliers used to flip the ribs in his hand on the edge of the grill, and a smile appeared on his face. "I believe there will be more."
He said as he pulled Lynch's arm. Lynch also hung the pliers on the edge of the grill, and the two walked to the lake.
"You have to come up with the design as soon as possible, and the budget. We plan to submit and approve it in the second half of this year."
"You don't need to operate the Congress, the Ministry of National Defense will persuade those members."
"This will be a big project, do you have the ability to complete it alone?"
Lynch was silent for a while, and asked tentatively, "Sir, do you want me to complete it alone or with others?"
Sometimes it was better to ask directly than to guess. Lynch was still so young, he had a great advantage.
The Vice Admiral pondered for a while. "The military has a military construction team, but we don't have enough manpower …"
Such a big project was not something the military construction team could complete. They only had the ability to complete two or three projects, and there was nothing they could do about the rest.
Lynch immediately made up his mind. "I will cooperate with the military, such as the transportation of materials, I will also need some help from the military, and I will pay for it."
The Vice Admiral's face had a smile. According to their idea, the budget would be at least two billion, of which about 100 million would be used for operating expenses.
The members of the Congress Military Budget Review Committee and the Military Appropriations Committee were not good people. They were greedy and shameless, and the money could make them more obedient.
Then the Navy would have to share some of the profits, and in the end, about 1.3 or 1.4 billion would be used for construction.
The final amount of profit would depend on Lynch's ability, at least he would not lose money.
The military and even the Federation's projects were like this, there would be no obvious huge profit margin. The people were not fools, and there would always be people staring at these budgets, hoping to find some problems to attack their political opponents.
So how to get more profit depended on whether the capitalist was ruthless enough, and whether the technology of exploitation was in place.
The Federation's budget had to be calculated according to the Federation's "Minimum Wage Law". If this money could be saved, it could release a terrifying profit margin.
"You can do as you see fit, I don't care much about these things, and you see …" The Vice Admiral smiled and patted his stomach. "I don't even know when I can leave here, I'm just giving you some advice as an elder."
"I know, thank you very much for your advice, it's very important to me!"
Lin Qi definitely wouldn't expose his bullsh * t.
By the way, he also put forward some of his own ideas. "Recently, I will establish frequent trade with Najalil, and it's not cost-effective to hire other people's ships for transportation. I want to ask if the Navy has any obsolete cargo ships, I want to buy some."
The Vice Admiral looked at Lynch and couldn't help but laugh. He patted Lynch's arm. "You're really an interesting person, I can't deny that I'm getting more and more fond of you."
"I'll help you solve this matter. Since there are so many people here today, let's talk after dinner …"
