Chapter 312: The Birth of the Super Dollar Factory and the Mach Fighter Jet (Subscription Request)
1971 came quietly, and in January, the weather in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was still scorching hot.

Another violent conflict broke out near the Mbandaka mine. When Zhao Mancang arrived here, Xie Pingzhou and his men were organizing a counterattack.

"Everyone, come here! Weapons and ammunition are here. This time, we must take the initiative to counterattack and ruthlessly wipe out these restless guys around here."

Zhao Mancang was very unhappy, so he took out all the guns and ammunition in the system space.

Xie Pingzhou, Lake Butler, Felix Nash, Xiong Licheng, Pang Zimo, Ding Shoushun and others all had their eyes shining when they saw these weapons and equipment.

Everyone patted their chests and assured Zhao Mancang: Boss, we will definitely complete the task!
It is not only necessary to defend the Mbandaka mine, but also to defend this lifeline and ensure that the copper and other metals mined and refined can be transported out smoothly.

Thus, over the next period of time, all warlords with more than one hundred guns within a thirty-kilometer radius of the Mbandaka mine were wiped out.

You know, in December, Xie Pingzhou and his men had already brought back 500 people. Together with the original 300-plus people, the entire Black Cross force already had more than 800 people.

This is a very strong force.

Fighting one against ten is a piece of cake.

After wiping out the surrounding forces, the Black Cross Force's next task would be relatively easier.

They need to transport the excavated and refined metals to the Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company in the Katanga Copper Belt on the other side, and then this company will transport the metals away.

The entire transaction is completed.

For Zhao Mancang, things in Africa have come to an end.

But there is still unrest and conflict over interests here, and it is absolutely impossible to turn the page so easily.

At this time, Zhao Mancang no longer thought about this matter, but instead transferred Xiong Licheng and others to check another line.

Super US dollars!

At the end of December, Zhao Mancang was purchasing arms in Los Angeles when he encountered a batch of super US dollars. To be precise, it was a batch of counterfeit US dollars.

This amount of money is quite a lot, a full five million US dollars.

So many counterfeit banknotes have successfully aroused Zhao Mancang's suspicion. Who on earth dares to print them so openly?
Just because this part of US dollars is similar to the real US dollars, some details were still discovered by Zhao Mancang.

Or maybe the system had a task, so Zhao Mancang knew about this, otherwise he really wouldn't know.

At that time in the 1970s, information was not well-circulated and many inspection methods were unable to track down counterfeit banknotes.

Previously, the movie "Wushuang" also mentioned something about the printing of counterfeit money, but this thing is completely different from the real printing of counterfeit money.

"Boss, are you saying someone is printing US dollars?"

After hearing the details of the mission, Xiong Licheng and others suddenly widened their eyes with expressions full of disbelief.

Zhao Mancang nodded seriously and said:

"In theory, we are not the Sam government, so there is no need to wade into this muddy water. But you should know that there will be more interests involved. For us, if we can know how the enemy prints..."

"Besides, the whole world doesn't know about this yet. The sooner we get this relevant information, the better it will be for us."

Fish in troubled waters!

Then there are the huge profits!

"You must pay attention. This matter is strictly confidential. No one except the people involved in this project can disclose it. If you leak the information, then I'm sorry, you will definitely be punished. Don't blame me for not telling you clearly in advance."

The Black Cross Force already had a very strict confidentiality agreement. Xiong Licheng and his men knew very well what should and should not be said.

But even so, Zhao Mancang still asked them to be cautious.

The reason why the Jiaolong Army was not allowed to investigate this matter was because it was not appropriate.

If the Jiaolong Army investigates the matter thoroughly, they will definitely not allow Zhao Mancang to print super US dollars at will afterwards.

At this point in 1971, if Zhao Mancang released more US dollar cash into the market, the entire market would become even more chaotic.

In the past December, during the last craze of the Sam movie market, the box office was not as good as last year.

Zhao Mancang, who is very sensitive to these data, has confirmed through the data given in the newspaper that Sam's inflation has reached an extreme.

If there is no way to divert this part of the contradiction, it is bound to erupt at that time.

There are so many US dollar cash in the entire Sam's Club that even the European brothers have already driven ships to transport the US dollars back to New York and take away the gold from the Federal Reserve vault.

Ordinary people are simply powerless to resist and can only passively accept the fact that the US dollar is depreciating.

The Jiaolong Army knows about the super dollar, and the higher-ups will definitely not allow Zhao Mancang to do this, so this matter can only be handled by the Black Cross Force.

"Boss, don't worry, we will keep this secret!"

Xiong Licheng and the others' eyes lit up because Zhao Mancang spoke so seriously, and the bonus would definitely be bigger.

After arranging this matter, Zhao Mancang no longer paid attention to it.

He returned to the capital and devoted himself to the education of children like Xiao Baozi.

It is already January, and the Spring Festival comes earlier this year, so the final exams are coming soon not long after New Year's Day.

That is, on the third day after Zhao Mancang returned to the capital, Xiao Baozi and his classmates started their final exams.

Time flies so fast. Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

After the final exams, Zhao Mancang gave them a week to rest and stopped them from being so nervous.

Whether they can continue to have fun after that depends on how many days their respective holiday schedules are.

Soon, the results of the final exam came out, and Xiao Baozi and the other children each got some vacation time, but not much.

"Have you seen your grades? Do you still want to redeem your vacation? If you redeem your vacation now, you won't have any vacation during the Chinese New Year. And if you don't work hard now, your grades may drop in the first half of next year, and you won't have any vacation during the summer vacation."

After hearing Zhao Mancang’s nonsense, the little kids were all scared to death.

So, even though it was winter vacation, they only had a week off and then entered a busy state of study.

If you don't push them, you will never know how powerful these little brats are.

While disciplining these little brats, Zhao Mancang also received a satellite call from abroad.

Xiong Licheng and his team have already investigated clearly and found that the super US dollars were indeed distributed from the peninsula.

Gravure printing is a technology unique to the country, so it is perfectly normal for the peninsula to have such super US dollars.

Zhao Mancang was not very disappointed after hearing the news.

In this case, the next step is for them to print super US dollars.

This time, Zhao Mancang directly asked Xiong Licheng and others to organize people, continue to recruit people from Hong Kong Island, and then add newcomers to the Black Cross Force, and then draw people from the Black Cross Force.

The newly formed company was placed directly on the southern African side, right next to the Rand Central gold mine.

The factory that prints super dollars is located in the small town of Osis.

"After the Super Dollars are printed, they will be mixed with real US dollars and then used to purchase gold and other precious metals from the Rand Central Gold Mine."

In the room, Zhao Mancang gave orders in an orderly manner.

There is no way there is a bug in his house because not only does he check the place every time he comes back, he also activates the signal jammer for a period of time.

During the period when the signal jammer is activated, Zhao Mancang will take out the insect drone and conduct reconnaissance within a two-kilometer radius of his home.

If someone appeared near his home at this time, they must have used a more covert eavesdropping device.

So he wasn't worried about being eavesdropped.

After arranging all this, Zhao Mancang walked out of the bedroom.

But not long after, gunshots were heard outside, which immediately attracted Zhao Mancang's attention.

anyone?

Therefore, Zhao Mancang returned to the bedroom without hesitation, started the insect drone, and then tracked the escaped spy through the insect drone.

"Huh? Captain Zhang is still on the front lines chasing these spies."

Through the insect drone, Zhao Mancang could clearly see that the person tracking the escaped spy was actually Zhang Jinfu.

Zhang Jinfu is the captain of the special operations department. I have known him for ten years. I didn’t expect that he would actually chase the spy personally. He is really dedicated.

After a while, after making sure that the spy had stopped, Zhao Mancang went out in person. He wanted to catch the spy.

He was not sure whether the other party had any information about him, so he needed to capture the person himself and then use the great memory recovery technique.

The Great Memory Recovery Technique is a forbidden technique. Police often use it when solving cases.

This thing actually uses various interrogation methods to make the suspect recall clues at the crime scene bit by bit, thus forming a complete chain of evidence.

Commonly known as confession under torture.

Anyway, the future has completely banned the use of this kind of large-scale memory recovery technique, but in this time and space, Zhao Mancang doesn't care so much. Two hours later, Zhao Mancang captured the spy and took him directly back to an interrogation room in the base outside Beijing.

It took Zhao Mancang two hours to extract a lot of information from the spy, but the only thing he didn't know was that his house was bugged.

In that case, he felt relieved.

So, it was a false alarm.

But this agent is also awesome. He has been lurking for such a long time and actually wants to cause trouble.

Therefore, the fate of this agent from Moscow will definitely not be very good.

Zhao Mancang handed the person over to Captain Zhang Jinfu of the Special Operations Department and asked him to help continue the interrogation.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Mancang left the capital, flew a fighter jet to southern Africa, and personally came to the small town of Osis.

The super dollar factory is under construction. The materials used in all aspects are top-notch, and all are transported by Nolinasun Company. The entire process is kept confidential.

This is when the company's advantages are reflected.

Because Zhao Mancang used his own company, there was no need to worry about confidentiality.

The loyalty of Xiong Licheng and his group is unquestionable, because they are not only serving Zhao Mancang, but also for their salaries.

Just because Zhao Mancang gave them a generous bonus.

"Boss, it only takes a month for the factory to be operational, but we currently have no way of purchasing a gravure printing machine."

The gravure printing machine is the most critical part, but as for talent, it is easy.

In this era, if you want to print super US dollars, you need not only the highest-grade ink and paper, but also a complete set of anti-counterfeiting features that are fully replicated, including red and blue fibers, security threads, anti-counterfeiting watermarks, etc., which are almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

"It's okay, I'll provide it!" Zhao Mancang did not make things difficult for Xiong Licheng, but took the initiative to say it.

Paper, ink, etc. are the key.

"When transporting paper, ink, and other items, you must be extremely careful not to attract anyone's attention. The longevity of the Super Dollar business depends entirely on confidentiality. Any slightest mistake can be fatal."

Hearing Zhao Mancang's words, Xiong Licheng and others nodded seriously.

The movie "Wushuang" has become a reality, which makes people like Xiong Licheng extremely excited and nervous, and at the same time feel extremely thrilled.

This is completely different from before in the Black Cross Force. Now I am competing face to face with Sam, and the most important thing is that Sam is completely unaware of it.

Currently, it is the Peninsula that is printing super US dollars. Although everyone does not know why the Peninsula is doing this, since the Peninsula is taking the blame, it is indeed the best thing for Zhao Mancang and others.

It’s so cool to use super US dollars to exchange for gold, and then use the gold to buy the resources you want.

In addition, you can also use super US dollars to directly trade with locals in South America, Africa and other places to purchase local resources.

For example, oil, minerals, timber, etc., these are all commodity transactions and there is no problem at all.

Besides, it was 1971, so using such large amounts of cash for transactions would not arouse suspicion at all.

Zhao Mancang stayed at the factory site in the small town for nearly five days before leaving.

The super US dollar factory is actually unimportant to Zhao Mancang. After all, he owns many companies, such as the robot computer company, which has very considerable profits every year, which is much better than printing super US dollars.

However, it would be so great if we could teach Sam a lesson and the peninsula could take the blame.

Anyway, Zhao Mancang will not let anyone investigate the Super Dollar Factory.

The matter was handled so simply, and now we just have to wait and see what happens.

It won't be long before something happens in the Middle East, but SAM has so many bases, so even if something happens, the local emperors in the Middle East can't escape.

This year, Richard Milhouse will definitely leave the group, and then it will be time for companies like The Wolf of Wall Street to do their work.

Therefore, this year will be a very critical and important year.

After leaving Africa, Zhao Mancang did not return directly to Beijing. Even though the New Year was approaching, he still needed to go to Great Britain.

Great Britain, London.

When Zhao Mancang stepped in here, the local humid and rainy weather made him very unhappy.

It's winter now, and the sky should be clear and cloudless, but I didn't expect the weather to be like this.

In the conference room of Rolls-Royce headquarters, Zhao Mancang sat in the main seat, listening to a group of management arguing.

Yes, they were arguing.

This company was acquired by Zhao Mancang in 1964. The purpose of acquiring this company at that time was actually to have another company to complete the research and development of aircraft engines, sensors and flight control technologies.

However, the British gentlemen in Great Britain are indeed too lazy and are simply unable to complete their work on time and with quality.

Therefore, this time when he came here, Zhao Mancang wanted to hear the explanations from these management and technical executives, but he didn't expect that they would actually quarrel in front of him and shirk responsibility from each other.

That’s really awesome!

After they all finished their performances, Zhao Mancang, who had been listening expressionlessly, finally spoke:

"Since none of you can solve this problem, then fine, from now on I will disband your management team and select people from elsewhere who are capable of shouldering the relevant responsibilities to manage this company."

The group of people were stunned for a moment. When they realized that Zhao Mancang was not joking, they all panicked.

They begged, but it was no use. Zhao Mancang had already made up his mind to do this and did not give them any chance at all.

After disbanding the management team, Zhao Mancang immediately made a satellite call. In less than two days, the management team that flew from Sam and other places soon appeared in Great Britain.

After the new management team arrived, Zhao Mancang called them together for a meeting:
"These are the problems Rolls-Royce is facing right now. If you can solve them as soon as possible, each of you will receive a reward ranging from 100,000 to 1 million pounds, depending on your contributions."

"You've all been with me for many years and know what kind of person I am, so it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to do this."

Everyone is here, and who dares to refuse Zhao Mancang's order?
So they all agreed.

After dealing with this matter, Zhao Mancang immediately returned to Mario Aviation, took out a new fighter jet and asked them to help with the research and development and design.

Well, apart from the junk engine, the whole appearance is definitely very advanced and sci-fi.

why?
Because Zhao Mancang was thinking of arranging the filming of a movie, "Top Gun"!
This movie is not just a money-making venture, it is also in line with the strategy of Richard Milhouse and others.

Just complete the task given by the White House.

Anyway, this is not true, and Zhao Mancang had already destroyed the real Blackbird reconnaissance plane.

And he had another purpose in making this film.

That is confusing the public!
The design drawings he gave to Mario Aviation Company were actually the same as the super fighter plane he had exchanged from the system.

It’s just that Sam’s current level of technology is simply unable to produce such aircraft engines.

Take the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft as an example. Although the J58 variable cycle engine is very powerful, each one can generate a static thrust of 145 kilonewtons.

Generally speaking, jet engines cannot use afterburners continuously and their efficiency decreases at high speeds, but the J58 engine does the opposite and makes a huge roar.

Of course, a Blackbird flying at supersonic speed would leave engine noise and most other noises behind.

On the other hand, the exterior design of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft can easily cut through the air and perfectly switch the principles of classic aerodynamics, allowing two low-pressure areas to form above the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, accelerating the flight of the aircraft.

Therefore, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft's maximum speed can be maintained at Mach 3.2, and its flight altitude exceeds 25,000 meters.

But no matter how powerful the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is, it cannot compare to the fighter jets exchanged by the system.

Not to mention anything else, just the noise reduction aspect, when Zhao Mancang was flying at the fastest speed in the cockpit of his fighter jet, the entire cockpit was very quiet, with a decibel level of less than 20.

You know, the maximum flight speed of this fighter is at least Mach 10.

Of course, Zhao Mancang rarely drives at such a maximum speed because it is too fast and sometimes he can't control it.

The noise reduction process is so awesome, it can be seen that its appearance design is absolutely subverting the current aircraft design concept.

why?
Because according to today's most classic aerodynamics, the teardrop-like shape is the aircraft design with the least air resistance.

Therefore, the front end of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is an extremely sharp wedge-shaped body, because it can reduce air resistance and quickly cut through the air. For example, high-speed airplanes and high-speed trains in later generations almost all have such a pointed design.

Zhao Mancang's fighter jet is undoubtedly an aircraft that is relatively in line with this aerodynamic design, but the tail part, engine part, etc. have been redesigned, which is completely different from the current aircraft.

If you want to shoot a movie like "Top Gun", you need a different aircraft appearance design, and you can't simply refer to the movie in the original time and space.

In the original time and space, when the second part of "Top Gun" was released, the protagonist flew a new supersonic Dark Star aircraft, cutting through the sky at a very fast speed, breaking the speed limit of the Dark Star aircraft.

Although Mach 10 is not explicitly given, a speed of ten times the speed of sound is actually Mach 10.

Therefore, all you need to do is capture the high-speed flight of the plane during the filming process, and there will be no problem at all.

After all, movies are just entertainment works. Adding the description of flying speed is to enhance the visual impact and tension of the film, so that all the audience watching in the cinema can feel that strong adrenaline rush.

Mario Aviation has completed the exterior design. As for the aircraft engine, Zhao Mancang did not say it explicitly, but he will definitely make arrangements after he returns to Beijing.
