Rise from the sword

Chapter 629
Early September.

In Europe, in Asia, and in Southeast Asia, wars are raging everywhere, and the whole world is like a pot of boiling hot oil, and the bombing of the United States promoted by Mustache has added a lot of firewood to this pot of hot oil.

The world boiled instantly.

The hysterical patient mustache saw that the bombing effect was so good, and was greatly encouraged. While staring at the Eastern Front, he also spared part of his energy to promote the launch of a new large-scale bombing.

But this time, he aimed at Fatty Qiu's territory.

British Isles.

At the wolf protection meeting, Mustache howled and vowed to avenge the grievances of the English air war, blow up Britain, and let the damn British live in the sewers under the ruins.

For this reason, he agreed to Kesselring's large-scale recruitment of foreign crews, expanded the bomber fleet to a thousand, and returned the first few major bombings to the British, and they were bombings on a larger scale.

Establish a new air force training camp in the interior of northern Europe, train pilots on a large scale, and form an escort fleet.

At the same time, he finally made a decision to throw Fatty Ge, who had been opposed to the introduction of the "warehouse" and passively resisted making troubles, back home for the elderly, and handed over the power of the Air Force to Marshal Kesselring.

As for the huge air defense force of the British Isles, which would lead to losses in the bomber force, the old fox and Kesselring repeatedly persuaded them with this reason, but Mustache believed that victory required a price.

In war, there are always casualties.

The German Aryans can afford this price.

Moreover, the anti-aircraft guns on the new six-engine bombers are not weak, and can counter enemy interceptor fighters, and the newly formed escort fighter group can also escort the bombers.

As a result, Moustache asserted his power arbitrarily, resisted all opinions and insisted on carrying out the bombing, and even sent out the mission.

Considering that Germany is indeed greatly relieved at present, in order to avoid accidents, the two marshals did not force too much persuasion.

But the hysterical mustache has a lot of ideas, sometimes one idea in the morning and another in the afternoon. After staying in the wolf guard for a while, thinking about the future of the empire, he suddenly felt that the new thousand-plane bombing scale would take at least a month to build.

The new bombers in storage will not be delivered until October.

Mustache didn't want to bomb the British Isles until he had collected a thousand of them. Firstly, the force was not enough, and secondly, it was not nice to say it.

Anyway, idle is idle, why not...

Then, a new idea emerged in his mind.

The United States bombed, so should the bear in the north also come?
Although there is no specific information this time, the production bases in the Urals, the oil fields in the Caucasus, and the mineral deposits in the deeper inland areas are all vivid bombing targets.

"Call Marshal Kesselring."

Mustache is a man of action, and he does what he says.

·····
the other side.

American continent.

Mr. President in a wheelchair gave an impassioned speech.

The speech lasted for two hours, which not only dispelled the panic caused by the bombing to the American people, but also greatly aroused the national enthusiasm for war, and the original huge domestic anti-war resistance was eliminated.

With the help of this shareholder wind, this so-called giant in a wheelchair made another effort.

On the same day, a new round of large-scale procurement lists appeared in the vision of Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Willis, Coca-Cola and other companies.

More planes, more guns and cannons, more cars and tanks, more ships and warships, more ammunition, more fuel, and more cola made the market go crazy, and the production capacity of all companies has been further expanded. .

Scientific research institutions have also been mobilized to study new aircraft, tanks, and how to increase production capacity and improve production efficiency.

The Allied arsenal strikes again.

But at this time, the United States is facing a new problem.

A few days later, a military chief walked into the White House and delivered an investigative report to the president.

"Is there a serious shortage of steel production?"

Hearing the words of the head of the military industry, the president didn't believe it at first.

At this time, the steel production in the United States accounts for more than half of the world. Last year, the output was 8095 million tons of steel, and very little was used for civilian use, almost all of which were consumed by the military industry.

As a result, now someone came to tell him, or the person in charge of the military industry, that there was not enough steel?
"Yes."

The person in charge said with a wry smile:

"According to the latest manufacturing plan, we will increase the annual production of weapons and equipment by half next year. Considering the expansion of the production line and the steel gap this year is more than 1000 million tons, it is estimated that we will need more than 3000 million tons of steel next year. The gap is more than [-] million tons."

"This is still without export."

"So big!"

The president was terrified.

Although after the suspension of the Pacific War, almost all the supplies from the United States were invested in Europe and the Western Front, they were still insufficient. Most of the supplies needed by the more than 2000 million frontline troops on the Eastern and Western Fronts needed to be provided by the United States.

"Correct."

The person in charge continued:
"This is only a lack of steel. In fact, most raw materials, including aluminum and copper, are lacking. The task of expanding production this time is too big. We have sufficient funds and manpower. However, it takes time to expand the scale of the industry, and the expansion of raw materials also takes time. Produce."

"If it was in peacetime, if we hadn't accumulated a lot of experience before, even if we had sufficient funds, it would take us at least three and a half years to expand such a large production."

"Others are okay. Canada, South America, and other countries can make up for it and will not delay the production increase plan, but steel will become our constraint."

"Is there a way?"

the president asked.

"Have."

The person in charge nodded:

"Zhao Jiayu University published an academic article five days ago, which mentioned a steelmaking technology that has entered practical use, which can increase my country's steel production as quickly as possible."

"I have verified it with a professional, and the technology is feasible."

"Zhao Jiayu University..."

Hearing this blunt transliteration term, the president in the wheelchair subconsciously looked at several bottles of medicine beside him.

This university was recently established by the group of farmers who received mysterious assistance. It was less than a year old, and it was not well-known in the world, but it represented the most cutting-edge technology in the world.

The production technology and equipment of these strange medicines that saved his life are located in this university, and all the top experts in any Ping An Hospital are teaching in this university.

just now.

Steelmaking technology appeared in this university again.

"Who is he?"

The president couldn't help mumbling to himself, with a look of absent-mindedness.

He really didn't understand, and couldn't figure it out.

This thing is really illogical.

How could Chen Fan suddenly appear, a force that cannot be investigated, to provide weapons and ammunition, logistics supplies, and even industrial facilities and technical personnel to the guerrillas of the Republic of China.

Even more advanced than the United States, Britain, and Germany.

outrageous.

"Mr President."

The person in charge interrupted the president's absence:
"When buying medicines, I asked people to ask, and they said that technology can be transferred, but they quoted a high price."

"How much can the output be increased?"

the president asked.

"If we have this kind of technology, we only need half a year to complete the technical transformation without affecting production, and we can reach an annual output of [-] million tons next year."

"It will reach [-] million tons in the next year."

"How much are they bidding?"

The president's pupils shrank slightly.

Standing in his position, it is very clear that at present, steel production also means national strength.

"Including several drug technologies, the total price of the new type is [-] million U.S. dollars."

said the person in charge.

"Three hundred and fifty million dollars!"

The president was taken aback.

[-] million US dollars, this is not a small amount, equivalent to three Iowa-class battleships, just one steel technology, several drugs are sold at this price.

It is true that the lion opened his mouth wide.

Although the quotation is not equal to the actual price, according to the last extended-range shell technology transaction, the price can be deliberately reduced by 30.00%, which means that the United States needs to pay [-] million US dollars for these.

Medicines are not just needed.

Therefore, the 7000 million US dollars is actually for the purchase of [-] million tons of steel increments.

After such a calculation, the president suddenly felt that it was worth it.

The current financial plan he is implementing is to release water. With the stimulation of war, the global industrial production capacity has been hit. Only the United States maintains its production capacity and prints money wantonly.

Although printing too much banknotes will cause inflation, these large amounts of printed dollars will be diluted to the world and put into the pockets of various countries, with little impact on the local area.

As long as the war can be won, then none of this is a problem.

After the war, Europe was basically destroyed, but the demand for goods in the world will not decrease, and there will be a huge market vacuum. Coupled with the reconstruction of various countries, the market will be even larger. At this time, a little effort can completely solve the war. The sequelae caused by currency, while still gaining greater benefits.

This is also the main reason why he dared to release the loan bill.

"They also asked for cash payment, and they also asked some of our domestic Republic of China scholars to go back."

The person in charge added a sentence.

"cash."

The old president suddenly laughed:

"Let the Ministry of Commerce talk to the other party. If they want this technology, they will give them cash."

As the president of the United States, he has experienced the Great Depression ten years ago, so he naturally has a different vision. Unlike the group of people who dug their own graves in the Republic of China, he knows very well that the currency itself is worthless, and what is valuable is a country Ability.

That is, production capacity, industrial productivity, agricultural productivity, gold reserves, and so on.

The simple understanding is that as many commodities as you can produce, you can print and distribute a certain amount of national currency in proportion.

Of course, there needs to be a market that can swallow these commodities, and a huge market that allows these currencies to circulate.

Therefore, it is also necessary for the United States to have the right to speak in the world so that goods can flow unimpeded around the world, otherwise it will fall into a situation where goods cannot be sold.

Now the production capacity of the United States, as well as the situation of the world war, the global circulation of the US dollar, although the British pound is still strong, it is foreseeable that as the war continues, the British will also completely fall.

The president already knew through the intelligence agencies that Mustache was planning to bomb the British intelligence frantically.

It is foreseeable that the end of the British mainland will not be much better.

No matter how powerful the Germans are, their population is limited. If they continue to fight, they will definitely lose, and they still have the Manhattan Project behind them.

At that time, only the United States will have complete industrial capabilities in the world. The United States will become the factory of the world, the dollar will also become the dollar of the world, and the earth will belong to the United States.

How many dollars can the entire world hold?
but.

The old president didn't know it at this time.

His decision planted the seeds of the post-war U.S. dollar falling to the altar and stepping into the footsteps of legal currency.

However, he didn't think about these things now. After the head of the military industry left, he called to meet with the head of the Manhattan Project, Admiral Leslie Groves.

"how?"

The president's tone was tense.

The hope of victory lies in the Manhattan Project.

"It's been better than expected."

Admiral Leslie Groves replied:
"Although the factory was destroyed, most of the research results have been preserved. It is expected that the research will be restarted in three months, and the construction of a larger group of new factories has also begun."

When speaking of group words, Admiral Leslie Groves emphasized his tone.

"It is expected that after twenty months, the formal test will begin."

"And because we have enough time, we have more time to accumulate raw materials. One month after the test, if the technology is correct, we can start mass production. After three months, we can produce 25 pieces."

"it is good."

The president couldn't help but violently smashed his fists to vent his excitement.

25 pieces, enough to end the battle.

·····
at the same time.

Moscow.

Inside that palace.

"How's it going?"

Sitting on the top, the bearded man with a big pipe asked the people below.

"The Americans have promised to double their aid, including tripling the number of tanks, cars, and artillery we desperately need."

The person in front of him answered quickly.

"it is good."

Hearing the news, the bearded man was overjoyed.

Double the supplies, including three times the tanks, cars, and artillery that the troops urgently need, which can greatly alleviate the current urgent need and allow the frontline troops to block a new round of German attacks.

"Considering safety, these additional supplies will be transported over the Pacific Ocean."

The person in front of him continued to speak.

"Very well, the people will remember your work."

The bearded man couldn't help but praise.

In the 30s, after the Trans-Siberian Railway completed the double-track project, its transportation capacity increased greatly, and it was able to complete the transportation of this batch of materials.

After a while, the bearded man met two people again, one of whom was the local air defense commander. Of course, this person was insignificant. The Germans had no long-range bombers before, so this person was actually a bare-bones commander.

Even now.

The remaining talent is the focus, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Beliya.

"The Germans bombed the United States. We need to strengthen our homeland air defenses and protect our factories, farms, and railroads."

The pipe knocked on the table, and the bearded man spoke in a very serious tone:

"This matter must be done immediately."

If there were no factories, there would be no need to fight this war.

"We don't need to worry about this for the time being."

Beliya spoke confidently:
"According to the information obtained from the Wolf Guard, the Germans are fully preparing to bomb Britain and will not attack us for the time being."

"Is the information accurate?"

The bearded man's tone was obviously much happier.

"It's certain."

Beliya's tone was still confident, and then he handed some photos to the bearded man.

On the photo is the order signed by Mustache. Next month, that is, in October, a thousand planes will be formed to bomb Britain.

　The mobile phone number, the quality is relatively poor, sorry...
