Chapter 292 (1/2)

”By the way, there are two friends. My father wants you to meet them.” In addition to the girls, more and more skinny Lawrence.

”In what way?” Li Zitao asked quietly.

”Skunk, you'll be happy to see them.” Lawrence smiles mysteriously.

This time, Li Zitao, who loves to name the Gulfstream No.1, is very lazy. Because it was the first one delivered, he named it ”No.1”.

The plane landed in Los Angeles, sent the girls away, refuelled, checked, and took off again.

Melburg, Va.

Li Zitao met William Mitchell, who was in his prime of life, and was sentenced to a despicable and ridiculous trial. His highness, the general who was deprived of all his duties, is now a special adviser.

If the aircraft carrier of the United States can appear and successfully launch, occupying an increasingly important position, the first feat should be recorded on the former brigadier general.

Had it not been for the despicable conspiracy of the captain of the naval battleship group and the indignant hearing and trial, he would have been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general by now.

For centuries, the strength of the fleet has marked the strength and decline of a country.

After defeating Spain's invincible fleet, the great y Empire rose into a later empire with colonies all over the world.

In modern times, battleships became the absolute main force in the fleet, and the power of the captains was expanded infinitely, which also made them become arrogant and arrogant.

As the strongest group of battleships in the fleet, how can they willingly hand over their power after learning of the plan of taking aircraft carriers as the core and battleships becoming supporting roles.

They have to do everything possible to ensure their position in the Navy for the next 15 years. In order to achieve this goal, they will not hesitate to cooperate with the ”old enemy” army.

First of all, William Mitchell, who is promoting the importance of the air force, is regarded as an idol and hero by the air force.

Mitchell, who led the United aviation team of Europe and the United States in World War I, as the commander-in-chief, won the air battle in the battle of St. Michelle, which was the belief of all the aviation forces.

As long as this belief is destroyed, they will be able to keep their power.

But at this time, the Washington Naval Treaty signed in 1922 stipulated that no new battleships could be built within the scope of the treaty within the next 15 years.

First of all, they criticized general Mitchell and his theory of air victory as worthless, and then they slandered him with despicable personal attacks.

The following year, Brigadier General William Michelle was demoted to the rank of colonel.

In 1925, Mitchell criticized the accident of Navy airship sheldoran.

As a result, it was found to be ”too fierce and discreditable for the army,” and sent to a military court.

The trial that silenced America opened its curtain.

The trial committee, composed of senior Navy and army generals, began bombing William Mitchell in turn.

Ignoring all the evidence and implementation data he presented, Michelle had to spend hours debating each question.

When the other side is said to be speechless, the trial committee chooses to ”gently” expose it and continue to choose ”indirect blindness.”

Eventually, William Mitchell was found guilty of military discipline and suspended for five years.

At that time, only the senior general of the Navy, General William S. Simms, was standing beside him, and he lost the chance to be promoted to general.
