May 1914, Europe.?

Ordinary people may still not feel anything abnormal, but the confrontation between the two major military groups has become increasingly serious, especially the arms of both sides are engaging in a crazy arms race, which has almost reached a white-hot level.

The air over Europe was extremely tense!

If the trajectory of history has not changed, then the fuse that led to the explosion of war will be created more than a month later. Of course, this is not the fundamental reason, but people are accustomed to attribute the reason for the explosion of war to certain specific events.

In this tense era, a large fleet arrived at Hamburg Port from North America.

Just as the dock workers were busy starting to unload their goods, a middle-aged man with a tired face asked with a wry smile, "Dum, or the fleet of Hunteral Shipping Company? Which batch of this year is this?"

"The twelfth batch, sir!"

The young man named Donmu forced his eyelids and replied listlessly: "I have checked it. In addition to a large number of machinery and equipment, the main parts of the aircraft, heavy trucks and a strange car accessories... I'm sorry, we can't tell which aspects these car accessories are used for. The only thing that is certain is that they are not used for trucks that can tow heavy artillery."

"call……"

After listening to the subordinate's answer, the middle-aged man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body seemed to be much more relaxed. However, after a brief relaxation, the middle-aged man finally gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely: "Damn greedy Americans, always cause trouble for us!"

In the past six months, middle-aged men have had enough of the damn Hunteral Consortium!

God knows what these damn Americans have in mind, but they actually understand a monster truck that can pull heavy artillery and run around the world, and then quickly gained the favor of the German 6th Army. In just half a year, the German 6th Army imported 5,000 heavy trucks from the United States!

The amount of these transactions alone is a jaw-dropping number!

Of course, huge efforts will inevitably be rewarded. After getting these expensive cars, the mobility of the German 6th Army has been unprecedentedly improved! Think about it, what a terrible fact is that thousands of artillery can be arranged maneuverably at more than 30 kilometers?

It is precisely because of this that the German 6th Army handed over the order to Hunteral Automobile Company without hesitation.

Germany is not without automobile companies. In fact, as a country where automobiles are known, the original GM enjoys a high reputation in the world. Unfortunately, when General Motors squeezed out John Hunteral with the support of domestic capital and began to implement their expansion plans ambitiously, their leading position in the world was quickly replaced by Hunteral Automobile.

It took Hunterlaer Automobile Company only five years to complete this process.

Ordinary people will never know that the number of researchers at Hunteral Motor Company is three times that of General Motors and eight times that of their research investment. With John himself personally interfering, various advanced research concepts cannot be measured by numbers. Therefore, when Hunteral Motor Company's heavy trucks and armored vehicles suddenly appeared in front of the generals of the 6th Army of Germany in early 1914 and could provide a large amount of spot stock, they placed an order in a elusive manner after inspecting the similar products of General Motors Company...

"However, it always feels a little strange."

After calculating in his mind, the young man suddenly spoke: "According to our information, the total number of this order is only one thousand, and then the Germans will buy all the relevant patents and production processes for one million dollars, and then produce them at General Motors. But... the trucks shipped by the Americans obviously exceeded this number. Could it be that they have big customers we don't know?"

"What's so strange?"

Before the young man could finish his words, the middle-aged man whispered in anger: "So, they will have more heavy trucks... Yes, what's going on with those auto parts? Is it the latest model of reconnaissance aircraft of the Americans? Damn... Why are Americans' planes so powerful?!"

"This...I don't know, sir."

After a moment of silence, the young man shook his head with a wry smile.

Compared with heavy trucks and various models of machinery and equipment, their intelligence personnel value more the rubber, various mineral processing products, oil, synthetic ammonia and other strategic materials imported by the Germans from the United States. As for the aircraft... no one has spent any effort. After all, these days, there seems to be no other use in addition to reconnaissance..."

Young people have no interest in the topic of airplanes and continue.

In fact, this is the general attitude of Europeans towards aircraft now, curiosity and also sought after, but no one will think that they will play a big role in the war except for reconnaissance.

“Um…”

After pondering slightly, the middle-aged man quickly nodded and said, "Okay, focus on those two strange freighters, try every means to figure out what they are loaded on them! Damn Americans, why do you have such strange freighters every time?"

"Yes, sir!"

Without any hesitation, the young man nodded immediately.

Not only middle-aged men are depressed, but in fact the young people themselves are also very unhappy. Because in the past six months, there have always been one or two strange guys in the cargo ships from the United States to Germany. Both Americans and Germans strictly keep it secret. It is very difficult to figure out what is on it. So far, they have only figured out the cargo four times, three of which were a huge amount of synthetic ammonia, and the other was that radio equipment was far more advanced and smaller than all the products on the market today!

These two cargo transportations made Britain, France and other countries very dissatisfied.

Synthetic ammonia is the raw material for explosives production, which is obvious military supplies. As for radio equipment, the same is true. The Germans only need a donkey to hunch a complete set of radio equipment. This fact makes the British and French troops, which require two or three donkeys to achieve the same effect, feel awkward?

As a result, after the protest, they also bought the same equipment!

"Damn American!"

When the young man thought of this, he couldn't help but curse, but unlike his boss, he added: "Damn Hunteral Consortium, the British should really confiscate all their industries and freeze their assets... so do we France!"

The young people hate the legendary world's richest man to the core!

Cars, trucks, synthetic ammonia, radios, aircraft, arms, rubber...

Almost half of all the things that the Germans are desperately importing now come from the damn Hunteral consortium in the United States, from the damn John Hunteral. God knows how he can understand the terrifying new technologies, and no one knows why he can make arrangements so many years in advance, almost monopolizing 70% of the world's rubber resources...

Young people only know one thing, that is, John Hunterlaer must have made a lot of money!

Not only the Germans desperately bought supplies from him, but even the British and French could only follow up helplessly. Even the Germans with high synthetic ammonia production have to continue to buy. Can they not buy it? The Germans have updated their radio equipment, and you want to fall behind? Who can lose those advanced trucks and rubber?

The number is so huge that it makes people stunned!

As ordinary intelligence personnel, the two almost believed that the Hunteral consortium sold all its products to Europe! If they knew another fact, it was that the Hunteral consortium sold to the Germans, to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to the British, and to the French and Russians, were only a small part of the goods, and the larger number was still in North America, I wonder how surprised they would be!

but……

It won't take long to understand one thing, that is, the so-called hugeness that amazes them, is actually just a very small number...8
