Chapter 255 How About Building a Battleship for Fun?
In March, the sea breeze was biting, and the air smelled of the sea and diesel.
Thanks to the progress of the industrial age, the air quality is getting worse and worse.
In this era, no one pays attention to the air quality, but the killing and deforestation of marine organisms are of great concern.
"Those southerners just know how to cut down trees and make them into fine furniture in exchange for a lot of beautiful knives. They don't understand what it means."
"But those furniture are really beautiful. If I can survive this cold winter, I would like to buy a new set of furniture. It must have beautiful wood grain and delicate texture—"
"Yeah, I'd like a nice redwood suit too, it's beautiful—"
Listening to the unnutritious conversation, Li Zitao hoped that the trip would end soon.
This is a cruise ship heading to Hawaii, the Starlight, which is barely considered a luxury cruise ship.
Accompanying him on the trip was not his fiancée Adelaide, but the canary 'raised' in New York.
Last night, Li Zitao got great satisfaction from her, and the two of them had the same skin color and hair color, so they wouldn't look awkward sitting next to each other.
As for his fiancée, she should be on her way to inspect the material distribution point now.
She is passionate about charity and is very interested in these things. Li Zitao plans to hand over the charity fund of the Golden Arches to her.
In the future, if necessary, he will set up different charitable funds and hand them over to his kind wife for favor.
"Sir, do you really plan to build the world's top hotel there?" Xu Man still had an incredible expression on his face when he mentioned this matter.
"Are you interested in taking care of it?" Li Zitao asked with a teasing smile.
If I remember correctly, this is the twelfth time she has asked the question.
Yes, Li Zitao intends to find a secluded and secluded private beach on the coast of Hawaii, and then build a world-renowned seaside resort.
hotel?
How can that thing show his identity? If you don't play the resort's soil trenches, it will be low.
"I, I can't do it." Xu Man lowered her head and said with some shame.
Although she learned to read and write under the guidance of her mother since she was a child, she was limited to Chinese, and she could only communicate in simple English.
Or some vulgar words with special meanings, which she heard from other dancers in the club.
The more you listen, the more you will remember it.
"I can send you to school, you have plenty of time to study." Even if you raise a canary, you still have to find something for the other party to do.
Once a woman is free, she likes to think wildly. If she reads some books by Marysu, her life will be ruined.
"Is there any other choice?" Xu Man could see some resistance.
She used to be a good girl. When she heard her mother talk about the past scenery of the family, she also fantasized that if those disasters hadn't happened, she would be a qualified lady now.
But now she doesn't want to be a lady of the family anymore. Compared with the life of a husband and a child, she is more adapted to the life of the club.
Except for being violated by the so-called "adoptive father" Audelle occasionally, her life is actually pretty good.
Gorgeous clothes, expensive jewelry, a beautiful house, and high-end food can be tasted every day.
Compared with the corpses that appeared next to the sewage pipe every now and then, she was lucky enough.
"How about Las Vegas?" Thinking of her past experience, Li Zitao tentatively asked.
"I can try." Xu Man was very excited, and there was a bright light in his raised eyes.
"—I'll send someone to pick you up when I get back." What kind of hobby is this, can you be normal!
Do you want him to train a big sister of the casino, or a queen of the casino?
But speaking of it, Las Vegas really needs someone of its own to sit in charge. Today's poisonous snake Paul puts away his fangs and obediently becomes an obedient and loyal dog.
But if all of Las Vegas is handed over to him, who knows if tigers will be infested!
Listen to the lady beside you,
The ladies had no nutrition, and even made people want to vomit, and the boat finally docked on the shore.
The person in charge of receiving him was a soldier with a straight face and a face like steel.
The opponent's epaulets indicate his identity, Colonel Walter Short, responsible for the land security of Pearl Harbor.
"Your Excellency the Marquis, this way please." Following the colonel into the car, everyone drove straight towards Pearl Harbor.
It is a military base, under military control, and is responsible for maintaining the stability of Hawaii. Naturally, it is not a place where a cruise ship can dock, even if the president is sitting on it.
After stopping in front of the crossbar and checking, the car continued to move forward and finally saw the iron mesh door.
This time it was not so troublesome. After the colonel handed over the certificate, the car entered the base squarely.
Although what will happen to Pearl Harbor in the future, it will be remade into various classics in later generations.
But to be honest, this place is boring.
Just after entering the base through the iron net, there are wooden barracks on both sides.
Then moving forward, there is the warehouse where the planes are parked, as well as the planes listening on the runway, and the busy ground crew.
At the end on the right, is where the soldiers ate.
Next door is the Navy Club, where soldiers can buy the beer, cigarettes they need, and the essential small umbrellas when dating Miss 419.
Beside the pier at the end, there are rows of battleships docked, which look very impressive, especially the heavy and rough cannons on them.
The gun barrel looks almost as thick as a thigh, the barrel is straight and long, and the gun mount is heavily armored, solemn and cold, with a chilling air.
"Pearl Harbor needs to expand the new berthing pier, and renovate the shipyard, and there are clubs with some entertainment facilities,
The army's defensive offensive needs to be adjusted to a certain extent, where—”
The colonel pointed to some places and Li Zitao saw Bechtel employees in blue uniforms taking measurements on the ground.
"Colonel Short, can you take me to visit the battleship?" Li Zitao was not in a hurry to hold a meeting with his subordinates and listen to the progress report of the project. He was more interested in the battleship.
I used to see warships on the Internet, and I felt that was the same thing, but it was a different feeling to stand under this giant steel giant.
It's an exaggeration to say that the blood is boiling, but the body is really hot, so I want to go up and have a look, and touch those heavy cannons with my own hands.
If I can watch it post again, it will be absolutely refreshing!
"No problem." Walter Short readily agreed to his request.
After boarding the battleship, Li Zitao felt around and looked around, but he was almost in a hurry.
"I don't know how Jonathan's shipyard is. Do you want to develop battleship cannons for fun?" Li Zitao has the confidence.
The workers dug back by Jonathan built naval warships during World War I, and Bethlehem Steel undertook a large number of orders for cannons during World War I.
