Dont worry, the French will take 8 years to build them.
11 actually, and that's a little long...but this is the French we're talking about.Was this rhetorical?
Well, then perhaps Aussies needed to choose whose that take the longest time...
And, no, not particularly rethorical, anybody actually fears a Chinese invasion besides a few little rocks?
Well, yeah, flag battling seem to have became trendy on Asian coasts for a decade, but, fears of war seem to be bigger than actual risk of war, which in the end could finally eventually brillantly create actual risks of war.
So in fact it was only a question to express sanity, well, yeah, I'm French, besides being able to make the best submarines in the world, I'm also here to show The Liiiight. You know.
Other non-rethorical questions, why is everybody buying French warships lately, crazy the number of very big contracts for all kinds of warships that have been signed lately...
