Shire finished his breakfast, downing his milk in one gulp as usual.
Forced by Camille to drink up his milk, it had become a habit over time; not finishing it left him uncomfortable.
Putting down his cup, Shire resumed the earlier topic: "I guess you think the army is different from the navy because of construction cycles."
The navy's construction cycle is long; a warship takes years to complete.
Thus, for the navy to know if a concept or an attempt is correct, it could take years, especially if there are prolonged periods without war, it could take even longer.
But the army measures in months. For example, using a tractor chassis with added steel plates to make a tank prototype could take just over ten days, and if rushed into mass production for immediate deployment, results could be seen in a month.
