1173rd Goodman Richard!

At this moment, Pompei stared at Xiao Feng with wide-eyed eyes.

"Is this ship a sister ship of the Delaware?"

Xiao Feng just finished eating the last bite of fried egg, he pushed the plate aside with a smile, and served himself a hot Americano.

Recently, he likes this American breakfast very much.

Especially after breakfast, having a cup of bitter Americano is really refreshing.

And the coffee beans from the Caribbean really have a tropical taste.

The sweetness after the bitterness is really unique.

At this time, looking at Pompey who was full of confusion, he smiled and took a sip of coffee, and then said with a smile.

"Isn't it said in the document I gave you?"

"Although the Navy didn't like this ship very much at the beginning, they still pinched their noses and ordered four ships."

"And later, especially during the second Iraq War, more than a dozen ships were ordered one after another."

Although Pompey was born in the navy, he has been retired for many years after all.

And although he later became the director of the CIA, he didn't care about the navy's procurement after all, so he really didn't know that the navy actually ordered so many of these "garbage ships" later.

"No wonder, the information you gave me showed that the Navy later paid $19.5 billion to the Pascagoula Shipyard..."

"I thought there was some high technology on this ship, why is it so expensive."

Pompey seemed to understand at this moment, while Xiao Feng nodded with a smile.

"That's right, in fact, the single cost of this warship is not expensive, but it can't stand up to the navy's purchase!"

Pompeo scratched his head again.

"But the information you gave me clearly stated that there is a problem with the design of this ship. Doesn't the Navy like this ship very much?"

"The information clearly stated that the Navy didn't want this ship at first, and the Marine Corps didn't want this ship either?"

"Then why did the navy still purchase more than a dozen?"

Xiao Feng smiled again, and then took another sip of coffee.

"It's true that when the navy first took over the ship, it really didn't like the ship because it was really badly designed."

"But later, when they performed the mission, they discovered that because the opponent was too weak, even though the ship had many weaknesses."

"But the opponents they faced couldn't threaten the ship at all, so they endured it."

"The most important thing is that they found that this ship has many problems and needs frequent maintenance..."

When talking about the first few items, Pompey can understand.

After all, the most powerful opponents of the United States are Russia and country H. If they face these two opponents, they will definitely not dare to send this ship out.

And when facing other opponents, sending this ship out is definitely enough.

Just like fighter jets in the Air Force.

When there were no F22 and F35, it was completely F15 Hornet and F16 Fighting Falcon.

Many people even thought that the F16 was the strongest fighter under the command of the Mi Army.

But those who are really knowledgeable know that, in fact, the real strongest fighter of the U.S. military at that time was the F14 Panda fighter.

The panda is the real top fighter that can fight against the bear's SU27.

It's a pity that the Soviet Union disintegrated later, and the maintenance and maintenance of pandas were too expensive, so the Mi Army retired the F14.

More advanced F22 and F35 were developed.

Therefore, the mainstream weapons used by the Mi Army are not necessarily the most advanced, but they are definitely the most suitable.

For example, this amphibious assault ship was actually refitted from a helicopter carrier. At first, the U.S. military thought it was all kinds of bad.

But later I found that using this boat to bully those weak countries was enough, so I endured it.

But Xiao Feng's last sentence confuses Pompey again.

Why is it a good thing that this boat often needs maintenance and maintenance?

This is obviously a troublesome thing,

Should it be hated?

He could only ask Xiao Feng for confirmation.

Xiao Feng smiled wryly and shook his head: "You forgot about this Richard. Is Daly from that school?"

"In his faction, there are many bigwigs who are closely related to the US military, especially the navy."

"It's like the Second Fleet. The fleet's logistics supply and weaponry update iterations are all under the control of the Morgan consortium."

When Xiao Feng said this, Pompey felt he was enlightened.

"Oh, I get it……"

Can you not understand?

Perhaps the generals of the navy hated this ship very much at first.

Because his combat ability is average, and he often has problems of one kind or another, he spends half a year in maintenance.

But this is a good thing for the captain and the people in charge above.

This principle is the same as a road that has just been repaired for a few days, but it is about to be dug up and buried pipes.

After repairing, digging, and then backfilling, after a while, digging, and backfilling...

Although it seems that the process is a bit cumbersome, everyone who handles it can benefit!

And the navy later purchased so many ships of this kind, there must be a series of people behind them.

There are various generals in it, as well as various big bosses of the donkey faction. In short, they will definitely purchase from these ships, as well as the later maintenance, and earn enough benefits.

Pompeo finally figured it out, and at this moment he was shifting his gaze to the TV.

In the TV screen, the fire on the Goodman Richard is getting bigger and bigger.

It can be seen from the overhead shot of the TV station helicopter that the deck of this ship has been pierced with a large hole.

Moreover, the hole is getting bigger and bigger, and it is already spreading towards the nearby ship island.

Although the damage control personnel on the ship were desperately fighting the fire, there were two small boats beside them that were constantly pouring water on the ship.

But the fire is still difficult to control, and even the crackling sound can be heard from the screen.

Pompey was also a soldier, and he felt bad when he heard this voice.

Because it was the sound of bullets and shells exploding on the ship, he couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart at this moment.

Don't really make big news, if the ammunition depot on the ship is really detonated, it will be in big trouble.

At this time, it can also be seen from the air that other warships in the port have already begun to pull anchor and prepare to leave the port.

Obviously, the Yokosuka bombing tragedy not long ago has left the US Navy with a deep memory.

They don't want to repeat that tragedy at their doorstep.

So although the fire on the Goodman Richard is not completely uncontrollable, other ships have already begun to prepare.

It can even be seen from the air that the barracks near the base have begun to evacuate.

There are also some other shore firefighters who are driving at this time, heading straight for the fuel snow storage area in the port.

Although the fire has not yet spread to that side, they have already started spraying water jets on the side of the fuel warehouse to cool down.

It seems that the Americans are still very good at planning for a rainy day.

At this time, Pompey looked away from the TV again, as if he suddenly remembered something.

At this time, his expression was very strange, as if he was suffering from constipation.

He obviously wanted to ask Xiao Feng some questions, but he didn't seem to know how to speak.

Xiao Feng knew what he was thinking just by looking at him, so he chuckled.

"Don't guess, I didn't set the fire on this boat."

"Besides, I don't have such great skills. I lurk in the naval base and set fire to the warship."

Hearing what Xiao Feng said, Pompei's expression changed a lot, and he explained with a smile.

"Look at you, I didn't say you set the fire!"

Xiao Feng cursed secretly in his heart, that's exactly what you think.

In fact, he really asked Owen and the others to create this fire, but he couldn't tell Pompey so clearly.

If it is true, then Pompey may not know what to think of him.

Good guy, even if you dare to burn the warships of the United States, there is nothing in this world that you dare not do.

At this moment, Pompei looked up at Xiao Feng, and asked with question marks all over his face.

"Then how do you know about this warship..."

"Hey, I told you before that there are problems with the design of this warship and there are many safety hazards."

"We are not talking nonsense, it has been investigated."

"As early as 15 years ago, his sister ship Iwo Jima had a fire in Yokosuka."

"Last year, in 2019, it was his sister ship USS Austin, which had a fire in Bahrain Port."

"And my people searched the internal investigation materials of the navy, and they were all vague, and they claimed that they would never find out the specific cause of the fire."

"In this way, I know that there must be something wrong with this ship. Before considering it, the Navy clearly does not want this ship..."

"So this type of warship will still have an accident sooner or later. It's just a coincidence this time. We just found out Richard. Agent and Pascagoula Shipyard, and their warship had an accident."

"And I let you watch the news so punctually, that's because my friend in New York notified early that a warship in New York Harbor was on fire..."

When Xiao Feng said that, it was easy to understand.

Pompeo also found his statement acceptable.

It's just that Xiao Feng won't tell Pompey that the Goodman Richard came into port for maintenance some time ago.

As for Owen and the others, they just added some materials to the new motors that are about to be delivered to the ship.

Just put that new motor on the boat, hey, it won't be long before the boat blows up...

It was a matter of time before the fire caught fire, but Xiao Feng never thought that this day would come so soon.

The ship just burned like this, and now the evidence in Pompey's hands is even more powerful.

Pompey was at Richard yesterday. Daly was devastated there, but I believe that if Pompeo goes there again today.

Then Richard's attitude will definitely not be the same as yesterday!

He will definitely become a good man like the ship named after him...
