A few years ago, the Military Intelligence Bureau issued a warning.
The Newland Navy obtained several documents of the "HMX" project through secret channels, and started research work on a similar project based on them.
This "HMX" project is the internal name for the "quasi-carrier project" proposed by He Jingteng.
At that time, this matter caused a huge uproar within the Navy.
If it weren't for Zhou Yongtao overseeing the situation at the Prime Minister Mansion, and the smooth progress of the "Xue Yuanzheng" class construction, with the third batch's construction plan approved, the Empire Navy's senior generals might have taken this opportunity to relaunch the "HMX" project. Worse yet, they might have resorted to doing it first and asking for permission later, arguing with the lawmakers in the legislative houses only after the die was cast.
If this really happened, many generals might end up in trouble again.
