"The emergence of new technologies always takes a certain amount of time." The person in charge of the Houston Shipyard argued.

"Then wait until it matures and come to us again. You can't use the lives of precious navy soldiers to practice your new technology, right?" Another naval observer chuckled and said, "For the sake of the president's daughter, wait until you, the aircraft carrier

When it's mature, we can do it again, but there's no need for it now."

Sheffield was actually not too surprised by this result. Instead, the next day, he took out a submarine that was not favored by the Admiralty and asked Lake to follow the Admiralty's observers to observe the submarine's voyage.

But this time, Sheffield intercepted Alice Roosevelt and asked Jezra to go with her. On this sunny day, they stayed on the shore to enjoy their own world.

"Just don't be angry like the observer of the Navy Department. Many people like a finished product, but don't like to pay for the process. You are a businessman and you should understand this truth."

Maybe she brought the naval observers over in excitement, but it caused embarrassment to Sheffield. Alice Roosevelt felt very sorry, and showed all her gentleness in front of Sheffield, putting away her usual cheerful personality.

"It's okay!" Sheffield reached out and tapped the cherry on Alice Roosevelt's chest. Sheffield's playful smile showed that she didn't take this matter to heart. "It's like you said, this matter is very normal. The airplane

The flight distance is still too short, and the aircraft carrier does need the protection of other ships, and it is not mature enough."

There is actually only one main reason why Sheffield doesn't take it to heart, and that is that he can't afford the compensation. If he couldn't afford the compensation, he would have jumped by now and criticized it in the newspaper like Lake. The darkness of the United States system has obliterated countless innovations.

.

But now, it can be sold to others, right? Without an order from the Navy, it can be exported. Although the quality of American manufacturing is just that, it is not a piece of cake to defeat countries without industrial foundations, such as Venezuela and Cuba.

Yes, you can still collect some IQ tax.

"I told my father when I came here that after the Russo-Japanese War, I would travel to Asia with the mission. Japan, China and many other places are destinations." Seeing that Sheffield didn't take it seriously, Alice said

Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief and began to talk about his upcoming trip. The topic changed and he said, "I will write to you on the way."

"There's no need to write a letter. I'll send some new female bodyguards to go with you. I'm not worried about you being out alone." Sheffield seemed to have been really diverted and began to ask Alice Roosevelt what she felt like.

interest.

Listening to Sheffield's analysis of some places in Asia, Alice Roosevelt reminded some precautions and asked, "I almost forgot that you are an expert on the history of other civilizations in the United States and have published many books."

"Of course!" Sheffield accepted the compliment very helpfully. The reason why he chose to publish a history book to gain fame and fortune is because history will not harm anyone. If he calls for environmental protection, he will not offend the factory owners around the Great Lakes.

You see, liberal arts are things that seem useful but are actually of little use. They are perfect for accumulating fame and fortune.

Therefore, when slave owners publish books, they are always about the food chain, plate movement, the origin of dinosaurs, and the history of ancient civilizations, which are attractive but do not promote society. Really useful things, slave owners are like machine gun shooting coordinators.

Hide it and study it yourself.

As for promoting social change, this is not in line with the identity of a slave owner. As a vested interest, social change will impact the existing order. He took out the pocket watch in his arms and took a look at it, secretly saying that the time was almost up.

Off the coast of Houston, an earth-shattering explosion shocked the naval observers who were following the submarine ship. From now on, he was the only fish left in the Houston shipyard that had slipped through the net. The ridicule on Jesla's face flashed,

But he immediately made a shocked expression and said in disbelief, "How could this happen?"

"How could this happen?" The remaining fish that slipped through the net was impulsive and grabbed Jesla by the collar. The latter seemed to be in shock, and waved his hand gently on his back to signal the bodyguards who were not far away.

Don't act rashly, then he said, "I don't know how this happened. There may be a problem with the new technology. The top priority now is to get back to the shore immediately and send people to salvage it."

As for the sailors accompanying other naval observers in the submarine, they have all been judged as victims by Jesla. Rescue? Now the question arises. The bubbles are accompanied by the vortex. Who will rescue them?

While speaking, Jesra had already broken free from the other party's chokehold and ordered the ship to return. He had completed the task.

Sheffield expressed his due shock and anger, as well as his condolences for the victims, and said sadly in front of Alice Roosevelt, "In addition to the federal government, the United Company will also provide compensation for the several naval observers who died.

.I hope the relatives of these people can get through the painful days as soon as possible."

Earning the comfort of Alice Roosevelt, the slave owner defined the matter as an accident. Define it first and investigate later. There is nothing surprising. Isn't this all based on the advanced experience of the federal government? The example of the United States has always been

It’s about learning and applying it, which is what the federal government did when the USS Maine exploded.

"New technology experiments are always accompanied by some accidents. Don't worry about it, William." Seeing that Sheffield was still holding back her grief and dealing with the aftermath after suffering such a big loss, Alice Roosevelt felt even more guilty. No

Thinking that I had good intentions, but encountered accidents one after another, if I hadn't been so anxious and suggested to my father that when the technology of the Houston Shipyard matured, there might have been a different outcome.

"You need to take a rest first. I have to organize the salvage work." Sheffield walked out of the room with a heavy look on his face. When he saw Jesra who was waiting, he asked calmly, "Is it clean?"

"Don't worry, boss, they are dead. They dare to show off the prestige of the Navy Department here with us." Jesra said concisely and concisely.

Sheffield raised his eyebrows and looked back at the door behind him, and nodded to let us talk before we went out.

"It has been announced to the public that the Houston shipyard should have lost one million US dollars in this accident. With this lesson, I believe that ordinary shipyards will not dare to touch submarines. And we will secretly increase research." Sheffield walked to Jesla.

He said, "You keep an eye on the salvage work yourself, but you can't let others find out the problems. Even though the time bomb is placed in the battery compartment, it is not foolproof. If it really leaks out, it may cost a lot of money to fix it.

Isn’t it nice to keep this money to improve the treatment of Black Gold Company?”

"Don't worry, boss, I will personally follow up on this matter." Jesra followed step by step. Behind him were many bodyguards in black. Looking from a distance, Sheffield walking in the front looked like...

A comet with a long tail.

This accident is a ploy to prove to other shipyards that the risks of innovation are huge and they must not blindly follow the trend. A shipyard that wants to overtake in a corner and use new types of ships to grab orders has suffered such a painful lesson.

It must be taken as a warning.

Increasing the tonnage and thickening the gun barrel is the right way to go. Never follow the negative example of the Houston Shipyard. They either built flashy aircraft carriers or made overturned submarines. Not only did they not get orders from the Navy, they also caused problems for their own shipyards.

suffered very heavy losses.

Alice Roosevelt secretly contacted the White House. In President Roosevelt's worried tone, she told what happened and expressed her regret for the incident. President Roosevelt's first reaction was to cover up the incident.

At this time, if his daughter is too closely related to the accident, she may be hyped up by some unfriendly public opinion, which will be very detrimental to the current antitrust lawsuit.

Sheffield, who had made arrangements and returned, heard Alice Roosevelt's narration and asked in a clueless tone, "When did you come? How come I didn't know you came with the Admiralty observers?"

Alice Roosevelt understood that Sheffield's first reaction was also to clear her suspicions. She didn't know what to say for a moment, and said movedly, "William, I don't even know what to say. Such a big loss, how can we still do it?"

Every time you kill someone in St. Louis, it's all for me." After saying that, Alice Roosevelt threw herself into Sheffield's arms.

If it were for my own life, I would shoot even more decisively! Sheffield stretched out his hand and patted the woman's back gently, saying softly, "This is what we should do. In fact, it's me who's sorry for you. I'm married, but I can't control it."

Live in my heart and just want to be with you."

To be able to say that he wanted to maintain a relationship with his mistress so openly and honestly, under this situation, not only was there no trace of shamelessness, but for Alice Roosevelt, it was the most sincere words of love.

After all, the United States is a society with freedom of speech, so this matter cannot be covered up. Benefit exposed the submarine explosion and defined it as a problem with the installation of the battery compartment, which caused this accident.

Almost in a short time, all the major shipyards on the east and west coasts received this heavy-hearted news. Some shipyard managers came to the window, looked at the warships being welded, and raised their wine glasses with contentment.

Everyone is an adult, and now they can only use smiles to cover up their sadness and alcohol to numb their painful hearts.

This kind of gloating behavior can definitely be guessed by Sheffield even if he can't see it. Using an explosion to scare other more technologically advanced shipyards and prevent them from catching up later, the slave owners think it is very worthwhile. If it is not enough, they will blow up another ship.
