The journey starts from the Titanic

If you have a wife like this, what can your husband want?Situ Nan sighed inwardly.He suddenly remembered the picture of the baby he had put in the drawer from Shanghai. It was not easy for her, right?

"What's the matter?" Laura looked back and saw Situ Nan not speaking, and suddenly fell silent, not knowing what she was thinking of, so she couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing. I just think God is so good to me. I am going to live to be a hundred years old. Only then will I repay his old man's grace." Situ Nan smiled."Of course you are included. We will have a large group of sons and grandchildren under our knees, that would be great."

Laura seemed to have been infected by Situ Nan's words. She slowly leaned against Situ Nan's arms and whispered, "I don't want to live that long. I will be old and become an ugly monster." Touched the slightly raised belly.Well, just after giving birth, the body hasn't recovered, a little out of shape.

"Am I becoming ugly now?" she asked worriedly.

"No! In my heart, you will always be so beautiful! It should be said that it is getting more and more beautiful, completely deep into my soul." Situ Nan praised sincerely.

After being praised by Situ Nan, Laura was a little emotional, and a faint blush appeared on her slightly plump face, which made Situ Nan couldn't help but bite.

They haven't made each other for a long time, so they are very excited.But a burst of clear cries stopped their excitement abruptly.

"Alice is hungry. I have to feed her." Laura woke up abruptly, put Situ Nan aside, and took out her white breasts and exposed them to the air.

Situ Nan looked greedy, glanced at Alice, who was enjoying herself, and walked out depressed.

When he was three years old, Andy would already crawl everywhere, and he was rolling in the yard with a puppy.The two servants nearby looked at their little master with a smile.

Situ Nan didn't stop him, and looked at it quietly for a while, guessing that it was almost time for dinner, so he called Andy back.

"Hey. Andy, you're not good again, dirty your clothes. There is no washing machine here!" Situ Nan shouted standing upstairs.

"Hehe." Little Andy smiled, patted the clothes on his body, and walked in with some kindness.In fact, he is not very afraid of Situ Nan, because this man always waits for him to play enough before saying something serious.

After a while, Andrew walked in with a smile on his face, holding a shotgun in his hand, and he seemed to have gained a lot.

Little Andy immediately rushed forward obediently, holding Andrew's leg with an affectionate face, and his dark eyes curiously looked at the shotgun in Andrew's hand.

"Want? This is a man's game. I will teach you when you grow up." Andrew picked up little Andy and smiled and touched his grandson's head.

"This one is happy and good," Situ Nan thought to himself.

Andrew came to Los Angeles specifically to visit his grandson. He came on vacation by the way, and was going back in a few days.

"How things are in Washington? Are there any results after a few months of quarreling?" Situ Nan asked.

They were talking about the World Powers Conference being held in Washington, USA. In fact, the Harding Administration resolved the remaining issues left over from the Paris Peace Conference after it took office.

Andrew, as a cabinet member and the Minister of Finance, has a lot of say in this regard.

"I hope you have something to say on the Shandong issue. The United States needs the Asian market. It doesn't hurt to be tough." Situ Nan looked at Andrew seriously.

"That's right." Andrew smiled, "Meihua has developed well in China in recent years, which makes the British people nervous."

"What's so nervous about them? Instead of worrying about the expansion of Meihua in China, it is better to find a way to deal with the Russian revolutionary output! They are much closer to the Russians than us." Situ Nan disdainfully said.

After the United States resumed its glorious isolation, the British returned to the posture of an empire that never sets in the past two years, and organized Western European countries to boycott Russia.Because the biggest influence on the output of the revolution was the British.

"That's it." Andrew nodded.

Chapter 38 The Washington Conference Arriving as Scheduled

San Francisco Bay Area.

The noisy shipyard in the past was much quieter, and several warships with just laid keels were lying weakly on the berth, like abandoned old women.

This is the Francisco Shipyard, which has the same name as this city, and is the pride of this city.Because it used to produce American battleships here, it is the center of the US West Coast shipbuilding.

Situ Nan proudly looked at the steel world in front of him, while Francisco, the general manager of the shipbuilding company who followed him, was not in such a good mood. Instead, he looked at the slipway with regret.

There is also a big man beside them, that is Eugene, the president of Bethlehem United Steel Corporation and the head of America's largest arms dealer organization?Gifford Grace.He followed behind, frowning at the quiet slipway, as if he had encountered something embarrassing.

Their moods are all affected by the great power conference that is being held in Washington.

"Although there is no final conclusion, the final news is definitely not a good thing for us military-industrial groups." Eugene said with emotion.

"This is really bad. Maybe the warship order we finally won in a few days will be cancelled." Francisco nodded and looked at Situ Nan expectantly, hoping that this magical young man would have any magical changes soon. The coming "Military Depression".

"Isn't this unexpected?" Situ Nan smiled, but he was very optimistic.

Immediately after World War I, the British finally defeated the Germans who wanted to compete with them to build ships. Looking back, the Americans on the other side of the ocean were building a large number of warships, and they had already caught up with the Royal Navy in number.

In the Far East Pacific, the former younger Japanese were desperately building ships. The Japanese proposed a plan to build an eight or eight fleet. They were crazy, frugal, and invested most of the country's finances in the navy.

How does this prevent the British from worrying?The navy is the foundation for the empire to dominate the world. It has just struggled out of a world war and has to face new challenges.

Make it!Before the wounds of the war had been completely taken care of, the British had bitten their heads and joined the new round of arms race provoked by the Americans.As they said, it is necessary to maintain an advantage over the US Navy.

What troubles the British is that the French are unwilling to be lonely and join the competition.But they do not build warships, but learn German man-made submarines!

France and Britain face each other across the sea, and a short English Channel can almost be heard in a sneeze, and the French submarine is almost like a poisonous needle pierced under the British testicles!

There are obviously no skills, but the self-righteous Italians everywhere did not make some small moves.The story of a great country is endless, and every moment is brilliant.

From 1918 to 1921, the world's major powers were noisy for a few years in this delicate climate, but they were unable to start a new world war just after the end of the world war.I really don't know how the Germans felt when they saw this situation.

"Hading is still wise. Although we have provoked this competition, we have achieved the same powerful naval status as the United Kingdom. We should accept it as soon as we meet. There is no point in fighting any more." Situ Nan analyzed.

Both Francisco and Eugene understand this.

"Oh, it’s just a pain for us people. The battleship is okay, and it’s still on the drawing. The previous one doesn’t just have a keel. It can be dismantled or transformed into a merchant ship. It’s just a few built destroyers and torpedo ships. Some trouble."

Francisco said in distress.

Situ Nan once warned him not to move too much, but he was dazzled by the fierce warship competition in the past two days, and he built a lot of warships.

Situ Nan did not stop him either.Looking at Francis now looking a little upset, he smiled in his heart."Now that it's built, don't dismantle it. The U.S. Navy doesn't want it, I want it!"

Situ Nan smiled.

"You?" Francisco looked at Situ Nan in surprise.

"Recently, I have some business dealings with South American countries. You know, they can't afford to play with big guys, but there are a few small boats that are also good choices." Situ Nan explained.

Recently, the Anglo-Dutch Shell Petroleum Company has made small moves in Venezuela, and they have been in frequent contact with Gomez. Situ Nan had to use those things to comfort the Venezuelans.

Besides, these warships Venezuela only received part of them, and more of them were sent to Nanyang through a formality.But Situ Nan should not explain this to Francisco and Eugene.

Small Latin American countries have always had a tradition of being second traders, and it is natural for Situ Nan to find them.In the past few years, a group of naval officers and soldiers trained by Zhi Gong Party and Meihua Company have been scattered in the United States, Venezuela and other places.

Can those rookies deal with the declining coachman?

Situ Nan had some expectations in his heart, thinking about providing more bargaining chips for Nanyang.The Francisco Yard was just a shipyard under the Bethlehem United Steel Company. Through Eugene, Situ Nan took down several warships that had been cancelled and dismantled by the US Navy.

Of course, these are small ships, which have been slightly modified according to Situ Nan's request, which looks more harmonious.
