Seeing Him Again

After the meeting with the President and the Secretary of the Navy, they left, leaving Poul, Jonathan, and Morgan alone in the meeting room.

"Poul, Jonathan, to be honest, I share their reaction," Morgan said. "The battleship that you proposed caught me off guard. Well since the two of you said that you can build it, given your past credentials of building something beyond comprehension, I'll be betting on you."

"You better be, Mr. Morgan," Poul said, his lips curling to a smile. "Since we will be the one to get the projects means we can exclusively profit from it. The metals that would be used to build the warship will be supplied by our steel manufacturing enterprises, and the electronics system such as the radars and wireless telegram would be produced by our own as well. And to make the matter more favorable to you, the United States is surely going to love the battleship that we have proposed to them."
