Chapter 394: Marriage Problem
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wesley had been given the go-ahead to develop tanks and aircraft. Once they passed the test, the U.S. military would change again. Wesley had no problem with that.
But there was one thing that bothered Wesley to the extreme, and that was the issue of marriage. The fact that there are three sons and one daughter who are unfilial does not apply to Americans, but Wesley was like a beacon in the dark night, and the daughters of countless consortiums and the daughters of politicians looked up to him.
A lot of people said that Wesley was now the richest man in America, and that was a big loss. But Wesley knew that he was the richest man in America in the future, and there was no doubt about that, so his marriage became a problem.
Wesley didn’t want to get married because he was still pining for Daisy. He was going home. What was marriage here? But Apple had reminded Wesley that he had to get married. If he didn’t get married, when would his own body be used?
He couldn’t have a son suddenly appear decades later and say that he had secretly given birth to him with someone else, could he? At the same time, if he didn’t get married, the worries would always be there. His value was too high. Some media outlets called Wesley a national treasure.
G Group also needed an heir. At the moment, Wesley’s G Group belonged to him alone. If he was not married, he would have no children. Wesley could only choose a marriage partner. But those young ladies were not his cup of tea. He needed to find a wife for his current body and identity.
“Ah…” With a helpless sigh, Wesley was at home in New York, smoking a cigar and drinking wine. He was missing his family again.
“You don’t have to worry too much. Anyway, you are going to live here for a long time. The first wife is just your body. After that, you will recover your original appearance and you can not get married.” Apple comforted.
“Okay, but I’m going to find a Chinese person for the choice. What do you think?”
“Why?”
“Those young ladies just want my capital. Marriage is also useful in the United States, but I don’t want to have so many troubles. And if I choose among these women, it’s easy to be labeled, which is not good for our future plans.”
“Not bad. So you’re going to China?”
“Not now. We need to get the tanks and planes out as soon as possible and start forming an army. My goal is to become the supreme commander of the air force.” Wesley voiced his thoughts.
“It’s no wonder that if you don’t set up a new unit, then you can only be there to gain experience. As for Armored Soldiers and Army Aviation, they don’t know anything about Marine Aviation and can only rely on you and the design of new warships.”
“That’s right, that’s what I think. Throw enough cake to them, and then I’ll take the position of Air Force. When the war is over, I can only be an idle general and then do business. This is not what I want. Now is a good time to accumulate capital, master the Air Force, and then master some military bases in the Pacific. These are very convenient for my future plans.”
“Aren’t you afraid they’ll put you in the position of equipment director?”
“No, don’t forget that I’m still a businessman. If I become the equipment director, then no one will agree to it. I will give the order to my own factory and no one else’s.” Wesley smoked a cigarette and smiled. He really dares to do it. Anyway, my quality is the best.
After confirming that he would find a Chinese woman to be his wife, Wesley began to ask Apple to organize the information of this period. After all, as a general, he did not have the time to spend looking for a wife. He could only ask Apple to organize the information of famous Chinese people and choose one that would not have much impact.
Apple was very fast. After all, there were not many famous women in this era. At the same time, they had to ensure their looks. After all, Wesley, who was too ugly, could not stand it himself. The range of people who were not affected was very small. Apple directly targeted one.
“Ruan Ling?” Wesley saw the character Apple gave, but the parallel world information shows that she was born in 1910 and is only eight years old now? “Are you sure?” Wesley asked in a strange tone.
“Of course, but you need to wait another eight years. But it’s worth it. After all, such a woman is not easy to find,” Apple said.
“It’s really not easy. Although her life is very short, the back she left behind lasted a long time.” Wesley sighed and agreed with Apple’s choice.
The next day, Wesley sent people directly to Shanghai and established a foreign company. Their mission was not only to sell things, but their biggest mission was to find Ruan Ling. The information was searched according to a parallel universe. As for whether they could find her in the end, it was unknown.
Wesley, on the other hand, had entered the research and development stage. Originally, there was no need for research and development, but in order to avoid the endless cocktail parties and matchmakers, Wesley hid in the research and development room of G Group and then went to the heavy machinery equipment factory and tractor factory.
Tanks were not difficult, especially for countries with technical reserves. They could be developed step by step, but that was not what Wesley needed. He directly took out the excellent tanks from World War II and modified them. Moreover, he took out the design of the T-34 tank and improved it.
Tank guns were a key factor. Too big a gun mount took up tank space and too small a power, so Wesley used 75mm 60-caliber tank guns directly. They were very suitable in all aspects.
The small changes had a big effect. At the same time, it was equipped with the latest diesel engine with 1,200 horsepower. This was newly introduced by Wesley for the tank, at 50 kilometers per hour. It was a medium-sized tank. There were many derivative models of the T-34, but after Wesley’s hands, this tank had a new life. It was simple and practical in production and suitable for many kinds of terrain combat. It did not have the roughness of the old Russians, nor the precision of the Germans. It was very balanced.
Wesley produced one and then called for someone to come and inspect it. The president brought several generals to the weapons test site of Wesley’s Arsenal. Wesley asked the technicians to start showing it. As soon as they got on, everyone was attracted by the shape of the tank, followed by the speed and off-road ability of the tank.
Then came the artillery and firepower, penetrating 100mm of steel plate at a distance of 1,500 meters, which made everyone widen their eyes in disbelief.
“Everyone, how is my tank compared to Ford’s?” Wesley said with a smile. Ford wanted to intervene in the arms production through tanks, but they met Wesley, and their experimental tank was thrown directly to the side. They did not participate in a battle, but Wesley won, and no one could say anything.
“That’s great, this is a tank,” Pan Xing said happily.
