"Pershing, the Marines should have belonged to our navy, is there any problem with assigning it to us now" William Benson yelled at Pershing, this person's rank is much higher than Pershing, but the two have different scores, and Pershing's reputation is high enough, so it is not false at all.
"Benson, Wesley graduated from West Point, he was supposed to be in the Army, and the troops he formed were different from the Marines in the traditional sense, although it is not yet time to test, but no matter how you calculate it, it can't be allocated to your Navy."
Pershing didn't budge.
The problems of the navy and the army exist in all countries, and it is nothing more than the problem of military spending, and the annual military expenditure is in hand, so how to distribute it needs to be studied.
At present, the army has directly received a special fund of 100 million US dollars, which is for experimental purposes, and the formation of a new unit needs to be tested and perfected, and it is impossible for Wesley to solve it with a report, and this is a huge task, which also includes the study of standing military strength in the future.
There are too many things to count, but the army is full of enthusiasm now, because they see hope, according to the needs of the country, the standing army is at least one million in number, this is still the estimate under the special geographical location of the United States, the United States still has colonies, and there must be troops stationed here.
And if, according to Wesley's vision, the European war will be a world war, then a million troops are not enough, they need more troops, this is for the sake of profit, the American capitalists have begun to be dissatisfied with being trapped at home, they want to go out and make more money.
The Navy and the Army are fighting, Pershing and Benson glared angrily directly in the president's office, which embarrassed the president, and he didn't expect that Wesley really got the lawmakers to agree to the request for military expansion in Congress, and the way he used it was very peculiar, and he scolded directly from the beginning, and the lawmakers now seem to be very enthusiastic about Wesley's proposal, and they are actively discussing it every day.
Someone calculated that first of all, if the army is maintained at 1 million in number, then it can feed at least 10 million people, how did this calculation come about?
The U.S. military is paid for its military salaries, especially in this era, when the armies of all countries are paid for their salaries, so that a million soldiers can be raised.
And the formation of the army needs equipment, although Wesley took the bulk of the weapon, but a lot of small things were released, especially the quilt, the soldier's training uniform is changed very quickly, what is the concept of a million soldiers' uniform for a year Even a lunch box can feed a lot of people, this is a matter of making money, although this money comes from taxes, but the money is lived, and the money that circulates is called money, which is Wesley's theory.
The army needs a large number of things, a large number of enterprises will receive orders, and the strength of the army will allow the country to have more say in the international community and get more overseas benefits.
"Mr.
President, overseas interests depend on our navy, and our navy needs to change even more, hasn't this young man also learned naval knowledge, and I want to assess him."
William Benson saw that he couldn't get a result from the quarrel with Pershing, so he turned his head and told the president directly.
"This" president looked at Pershing in embarrassment.
Pershing hurriedly jumped out and said: "This is impossible, this is a talent trained by our army, and he is conducting experiments on new types of troops, but he is only hanging the name of the marine, and I will ask him to change it tomorrow." ” "You," William Benson said, pointing at Pershing, speechless.
And Mr.
President needs to play a role at this time, after all, one is the pillar of the future army, and the other is the pillar of the navy, he needs to coordinate on both sides, and he knows that Wesley's shipyard is expanding a lot, and he also wants to get orders from the Navy, so he decided again.
"There's no need to argue, I think we need to call the lad and ask for his opinion, after all, it's up to him to decide his future, am I right?"
The two generals stopped talking and nodded in approval, so Wesley had to put down his training work and let the company commanders lead the training themselves, and he set off for Washington again.
"Major Wesley, the Army and Navy are now bickering over your belonging, and we would like to ask for your own opinion."
When Wesley arrived, he was taken directly to the president, and Pershing and one of the admirals here glared at each other, and now he understood when he heard the inquiry.
Wesley thought about it for a while, and then he knew what the navy thought, and said directly: "It's better for me to train my battalion, after all, I expect it to be expanded into a brigade in the future, but it's hard to make a conclusion about the question of belonging now, it's better for everyone to come and see it directly after it becomes an army." ” Speaking of this, Wesley paused, and the two generals were very anxious expressions, and she could see it, "However, I want to talk about the role of this unit first, first of all, the name of the Marine Corps is not wrong, the purpose of my training is to compete for the strength of landing operations, which must be supported by the navy."
But then there is land warfare, but not traditional land warfare, more jungle and urban battles, this force is a strong force, otherwise I would not have brought it up. ” "With such a strong and trained special mode of warfare, landing, jungle, city, can one army do it?"
asked the president, puzzled.
"Of course you can, the equipment of this army is all light weapons, and the artillery is all mortars, and at the same time, it carries a lot of ammunition by itself, such as when we land on the beach, we need a special force very much, have the two generals thought about this?"
The two generals of the two arms of the army were asked, and the landing operation knew that the World War II period was still an unfamiliar topic, which caused a large number of deaths among soldiers.
"Overseas interests are now more and more important, whether it is land or islands, the first problem is landing, and landing will become the norm, although those backward countries have no means of defense, but the great powers should not forget, I said that the war in Europe is about to begin."
"You mean we're directly involved," the president asked, frowning.
"Participation is inevitable, but I don't think we can get anything, we can let them play for two years first, after all, we also want to make money."
Wesley laughed, with the face of a profiteer, he had already begun to hoard steel, and his own various minerals had begun to hoard.
"The young man is very far-sighted, but you need to think of something for our navy now, the speed of development of the navy is too slow, you can design army weapons, I think your shipyard also has a navy," Benson Anna couldn't help but asked. t1706231537:
