In the morning the entire Admiralty will gather here. They do not yet know that this day will become a starting point and a springboard to the leaders of the military industry. Until today, we have been making history with the entire engineering department.Tomorrow we will turn it into a national treasure. How slowly the minutes flow, how criminally slowly ….»
