Kapitel 400: Aircraft Carrier
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
In the evening, Wesley sent Ruan Ling to her new home, but he had not entered the house yet. He sent her directly outside. Ruan Ling reluctantly entered this strange new home, and her mother waited for her nervously.
"Lingling, what's going on? Why do we suddenly have such a big house? Tell me clearly." Mrs. Ruan asked nervously.
"Mom." Ruan Ling took her mother's hand and sat down. A servant came directly to serve tea, which made Mrs. Ruan very nervous. Although she had seen the life of her employer in the Zhang family, she was not used to it.
"Mom, I might get married," Ruan Ling said slowly.
"Ah?" Mrs. Ruan was shocked. She was not mentally prepared for her daughter's words. "Daughter, who is he? Did he give you these things? Did he force you?" In Mrs. Ruan's imagination, the other party must be a rich and powerful person, and he is definitely not a good match. Is he forcing her daughter?
Seeing her anxious mother, Ruan Ling smiled and said coquettishly, "Don't worry, he is a good person. He is 31 years old today and is an American."
"A foreigner?" Mrs. Ruan was even more surprised.
"Yes, he is the commander-in-chief of the United States Air Force, the youngest general, a hero of World War I, and a great genius." Ruan Ling's words had no boundaries, but Mrs. Ruan could hear that her daughter was willing.
"Sigh… Since you're willing, I won't say anything. But if you really marry over, you have to be prepared. I've seen through the things of rich families. You can't be willful in the future, understand?" Mrs. Ruan said softly.
"Mom…" Ruan Ling began to cry again. Women are usually creatures of wind and rain. The mother and daughter talked all night. Ruan Ling told him about his encounter with Wesley and then about Wesley's hopes of marriage.
Wesley, on the other hand, returned to the villa in a good mood. He lay in bed and thought about how they had spent the night together. Even if there was no love in this marriage, it would be a happy one.
Wesley woke up early the next morning. After washing up and eating breakfast, the director of New World arrived with the script that was about to be shot. It was Ruan Ling's first movie.
Originally, Nguyen Ling had started acting in movies in 1927, but now it was much earlier. But the script was still the same. Wesley looked at it carefully. He didn't know much about the aesthetics of this era. Even if Apple had the information, the specific analysis still wouldn't work. After all, humans are strange creatures. It's hard to really understand their minds.
"This script was written according to a silent movie. Now we're shooting an audio movie. Do you need to change it?" Wesley asked.
"Boss, it needs to be changed, especially the dialogue between characters. It needs to be developed. The screenwriter is working hard," said the director.
"Well, the first work must be filmed well. Time and money don't matter. Even if you shoot for two years, it doesn't matter, but the first shot must be fired." Wesley didn't give any specific opinions. After all, people in this period are very artistic, so he didn't comment.
"Don't worry, I will make Miss Ruan famous."
"It's not a matter of being famous or not. Pay attention to your acting skills, understand? Lingling will go to the United States to develop in the future. I hope she can hone her acting skills. This is very important. Only acting skills can keep an actor developing for a long time."
"Yes, yes." The director felt lucky. This boss had taken a fancy to Ruan Ling and wanted to make a movie to promote her. As a director, he had also borrowed some light. Not only was there a financial problem, but now even the equipment was the best. He could shoot a classic without worry.
Wesley did not let the director stay long, and he set off for the film company. Today, Ruan Ling would sign the contract. This was a necessary procedure. When Wesley arrived, Ruan Ling was already there. The driver, bodyguards, and secretary assigned to her were all there. At this time, there was no manager, and Wesley was in no hurry to get it out.
"How is it? Did you see the contract?" Wesley asked.
"Yes, the conditions are too good," said Ruan Ling.
"It's normal. This is just a formality. It's convenient for you to go to the United States to develop in the future. When you go to the United States in the future, you can directly set up a film company for you. You can be the boss and film however you want."
Ruan Ling laughed, a happy laugh.
In the following days, the two of them toured Shanghai happily. A month later, Wesley left China on a boat. His leave was over. As the commander-in-chief of the air force, he had a lot to do. The company could be handed over to subordinates, but not the army.
Ruan Ling entered her movie career. Her life had changed, and the marriage was set for two years later. After all, Wesley's wedding was to be held in the United States, and Ruan Ling needed to learn good English.
The two men were temporarily separated. Wesley returned to the United States and went back to work. The construction of the aircraft carrier had increased the schedule. It had been 1925. Instead of building the carrier in eight years, Wesley had built eight battleships, 36,000 tons displacement battleships with 405mm 50-caliber main guns and treaty battleships. Then he had vigorously developed destroyers, light cruisers, and heavy cruisers. The subguns equipped were all small-caliber. The rest were high-level dual-purpose guns for future air defense.
He was the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, but he still had a say in the development of the Navy's ships, from the perspective of a designer. This time, he came back to build an aircraft carrier and perfect the configuration of the fleet.
Other countries naturally already had aircraft carriers, but the United States did not build them. It was still developing giant ships and cannons that led other countries astray. After all, Wesley's design was famous, so many countries now value Wesley's design, which is why he only started building aircraft carriers now.
There were four ships in the first batch. The navy's savings over the years were all placed here. They were all 45,000 tons of aircraft carriers. There were no inappropriate large-caliber artillery on them. They were all designed with high-level dual-purpose artillery and machine guns.
The Navy had no meaning for this, because Wesley had once conducted an exercise. It was a land-based air force against a fleet, and the fleet was completely defeated. Although the result was kept secret, the upper echelons of the Navy were very clear about it. And now that four aircraft carriers were being built at once, the Navy had no meaning.
There were two Pacific and Atlantic fleets on each side. This was the design of a medium-sized aircraft carrier. Two ships in a group, forming a fleet with the aircraft carrier as the center. It was an experimental fleet that trained tactics.
Wesley concentrated his workers on building again. He did not like to wait, so all the new battleships were built quickly. It was expected to take a year to finish, and four were built at the same time. However, the United States was now affected by the Great Depression and the economy was beginning to shrink.
