There was a rustling sound when the paper was turned, but there was no other sound in the study. Secretary Sun? She held her breath and watched Vézé read the report about the malfunction of the new warship. She did not dare to be stiff. No action did not mean no thoughts. The new warship was proposed by Vézé. Now that something went wrong, it would affect Vézé's reputation.
What should she do later? Sun? She was thinking about how to make this matter have a more satisfactory result. While she was thinking, Vézé had picked up the pen and wrote comments at the end of the report.
"Give it to Jiangnan Shipyard." Vézé handed the report to Sun.
Sun? When he saw the instructions, he froze. It read: "The reason for the problem is that the design requirements are beyond the limit of the warship. The responsibility lies with Vézé. The solution is to replace the triple turret with the twin 38-gun turret. The triple turret is temporarily frozen. "
He couldn't believe his eyes and looked at the screen again. Sun? She didn't dare to send the comments out immediately. She hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to modify this comment?"
"I am responsible. There is nothing to modify." Vézé replied calmly.
"Change the words?" Sun? Sun couldn't help but say this. The emperor admitted his mistake, which was tantamount to a decree of guilt. Vézé admitted his mistake so easily. The impact was far greater than the matter itself.
"Making mistakes is normal. If the national operation becomes a problem that needs to be covered up, this is the biggest problem. In politics, there is nothing worse than covering up mistakes and diverting the focus. "Vézé simply said a few words and let Sun? Sun? Sun? Sun? Sun? Sun? Sun? Sun? Sun? Sun?
Sun? Sun? She still did not dare to completely obey Vézé's orders. As a woman, she naturally pursued soft means. Even if it was the truth, Sun? Sun? Couldn't agree with Vézé's straightforwardness. She took the report to Major General Zhou Xinhua and handed it to him.
"Are you worried about being held accountable?" Zhou Xinhua asked Sun Xiang after reading the instructions.
"Yes." He felt that he could find a reasonable person, so his voice involuntarily revealed some determination.
"The Commander-in-Chief will investigate this matter," Zhou Xinhua replied.
Sun? She felt that these men were simply unreasonable. King Vézé stood in the position of the party being held accountable, facing a large number of accusations … This scene was too beautiful to look at. Even if no one dared to touch a single hair on King Vézé's head, the loss of face was not the same as the loss of money. If the person in question, Vézé, didn't care, at least the people around Vézé should consider it.
Look at Sun? Zhou Xinhua had no intention of backing down. He leaned back in his chair and said, "None of us wish to see this happen. Since it has happened, let's start with the Commander in Chief and end with the Commander in Chief. No matter what the process is, this matter will be over. If the responsibility that should have been borne by the Commander in Chief is borne by his comrades, this matter will seem to be over, but in fact, it will just lead to a lot of other things. Do you think the Commander in Chief is this kind of person? The worst situation is that this unreasonable design requirement is forced to be a requirement that must be fulfilled. That kind of waste is not the loss of this experimental warship experiment. The loss of the experimental warship is actually within expectations. And the waste brought about by covering up mistakes will be ten times or even a hundred times more.
"If we actually stop the project, but also save the Commander in Chief's face. Isn't this a better solution? " Sun Xiang said tentatively. It was one thing to be responsible, but this kind of almost heartless approach really couldn't let Sun Xiang. Sun Xiang was convinced. If everyone in the world had to bear their own responsibility, then what was the point of status? If King Vézé's status couldn't save him from the fate of being blamed, then wouldn't power become worthless? This was Sun Xiang? The most unacceptable question.
Zhou Xinhua's brows furrowed. Vézé's magnanimity was what Zhou Xinhua admired the most. If Vézé didn't bear the responsibility, then more people would have to bear the responsibility. This matter wasn't a small matter. It involved a movement of tens of millions of dollars. As a major general, as the commander of the China Dispatch Army who helped the Republic of Prawn gain a foothold, Zhou Xinhua was very clear about how much this amount of money could do. Tens of millions of dollars invested could determine the survival or destruction of a small country.
The experimental warship itself meant risk, and Vézé's approach ended the risk. Zhou Xinhua had relatives in the military ship's technical team, and with their status, they had to take on responsibilities that shouldn't have been theirs in the first place. Other than completely destroying their future, they probably had no other way out. In the face of such a situation, if Vézé didn't even dare to bear this responsibility, then wouldn't he be the Emperor for nothing?
Zhou Xinhua's face became even more ugly because of the different ideas and positions. "Sun Xiang? Comrade, your job is to complete the task given to you by the Commander-in-Chief, and not to act smart and worry about the Commander-in-Chief! Since the Commander-in-Chief has made such a decision, we should just obey! " After saying that, Zhou Xinhua said coldly, "Do you think you are more capable than the Commander in Chief and can order him around?"
The high and low status brought great pressure to Sun Xiang. He didn't dare to say anything else, but the feeling of resistance in his heart grew stronger. Sun? She felt aggrieved. She had no intention of ordering His Majesty Vézé. Her suggestion was purely out of her love for His Majesty Vézé. As a direct subordinate of Vézé, could he just watch as Vézé was criticized?
A sense of grievance surged into his heart like a tide, and his nose turned sour. Sun? My tears welled up. Seeing that the female staff member was crying, Zhou Xinhua was at a loss. Actually, Sun? Zhou Xinhua's suggestion was understandable, and he wasn't a fool. At the very least, he could understand her thoughts. However, after working for the Military Governor Of Vaize for so long, Zhou Xinhua couldn't imagine that the Military Governor Of Vaize would do such a thing. Straightforward, responsible, not evasive, and not pretentious, the Military Governor Of Vaize wasn't the kind of "benevolent ruler" who would take responsibility for other people's mistakes. Perhaps it was because he was so serious that he wouldn't push his responsibility to others.
Zhou Xinhua waved his hand and said helplessly, "Don't cry. Go ahead and send this document out. "
Unaware of the thoughts between the secretaries, Vézé had already started on the next step of his work. The mechanical failure of the new warship. The solution was simple. Just change the triple-turreted cannons to double-turreted cannons. After the modification, the tonnage and firepower would be equivalent to the historical Victoria class battleship. The only difference was that the Victoria class battleship had five double-turreted cannons, while the China class battleship only had four double-turreted cannons. The original design was restored. The Chongqing could run faster and had stronger defense.
The only regret Vézé had was that he was actually an RPG fan and had limited interest in developing battleships. Building a World War II battleship wasn't Vézé's wish. Therefore, his fantasy of seeing the triple-turreted battleship traversing the ocean was shattered. On these matters, Vézé couldn't really get rid of the "Rich! Willful! "characteristic of humans.
After freezing the triple-turreted cannons, Vézé began to consider the issue of Japan. Japan hadn't truly surrendered to China for thousands of years. It would treat China as a teacher and recognize China as a superior country. However, it had never become a vassal country of China. As for dealing with Japan's future, Vézé didn't intend to force Japan to submit. Supporting the Republic of Prawn was China's wish to see Japan become a springboard for Britain to attack China. Supporting Hokkaido was a natural continuation of this policy. China's bottom line was that Hokkaido couldn't be annexed by the Meiji government.
This matter was very simple to deal with. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't even need to do anything. Whatever support the military gave to Hokkaido, Hokkaido could fight a war of its own. The problem was that Vézé didn't want to give the Military Commission any chance to cause trouble. Being able to make this group of Sun Wukong obediently accept the order to retire and go home to enjoy their retirement, Vézé felt like Amitabha.
Vézé also considered whether to arrange for a young comrade to be in charge, but he quickly gave up. With the ubiquitous characteristics of the old brothers, it was inevitable that they would point fingers at the young comrade. The most troublesome thing was that the old brothers would use the young comrade's unreliability as an excuse to throw the young comrade aside and personally do the work. Even if it was time to retire, they would use "let me finish something" as an excuse, and the other old brothers would definitely help them. Vézé didn't want to use methods that would hurt the harmony in the end. Of course, the problem of Nippon was far from that important.
Therefore, Vézé's decision was to replenish weapons and ammunition for Hokkaido and "rent" the remaining 5,000 ton warships to Hokkaido. Anyway, there would be more ships from China to North America in the next few years, so the money would not be wasted.
Vézé didn't have time to immerse himself in the past. New things were coming, and focusing on the present had exhausted all his energy. But this was the problem that Vézé had to face. Not everyone else was in such a state.
Sun? After returning home from work, when she sat at the dinner table, she suddenly felt sad. After being criticized by Zhou Xinhua, Sun? She was in a bad mood. For the sake of His Majesty, she was strongly opposed. Making things like Sun? As if she had done something wrong. And even more so for Sun? She was dissatisfied because she instinctively felt that even if this matter was judged by His Majesty Vézé, His Majesty Vézé would probably support Zhou Xinhua's view. Who didn't know how to speak the truth?
Sun? Her husband, Xu Jianzhi, had prepared a fairly sumptuous dinner, but when he saw his wife, he actually cried. He didn't say anything immediately, but took a towel and handed it to his wife. When his wife's emotions calmed down a little, he asked softly, "What happened?"
