Jiang Cheng put down the chess pieces in his hand and asked how many there were.
He Ankang replied that according to reports from various places, our total income in the past few days is about 2.9 billion US dollars based on the current exchange rate, of which 700 million US dollars have been invested in the futures market or the stock market. 23us.
Fastest update
Situ Meitang stuck out his tongue, it was almost three billion US dollars. This was in 1942, and the cost of building the Iowa battleship was only about 120 million. In other words, Jiang Cheng scraped a dozen Iowa battleships from Japan.
, Yaya bah, who said robbing banks makes money? Robbing the country makes more money than robbing banks.
Jiang Cheng was naturally very excited, but he still said calmly, "Well, it's good, it's a little less than I thought. It seems that other forces have also received a lot of benefits."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, He Ankang and Situ Meitang immediately felt that there was a gap. They almost laughed crazy when they saw this number, but Boss Jiang could only get a passing grade.
Jiang Cheng continued to say that making money is a skill, and spending money is also a skill, and the skill of spending money is more difficult than the skill of making money. From now on, our job is to spend money. Use this money to come up with 500 million and tell Mr. Yu to use this money.
Transfer the money to all the young Chinese people in Nanyang who have China in their hearts and are reliable. Anyone under the age of 15 can be transferred to our islands and let those people sign contracts for me. As long as I can't learn from them, I will learn from them and don't want them.
All, as long as they dedicate three years to me to become a talented person
Jiang Cheng is not worried about anything about the future of China, he is just worried about the lack of talent. Anyway, the world war is about to start. Most Chinese in this era still care about the motherland, and the banana people have not yet become popular. This is why Jiang Cheng can use the Youth Gang and other associations
The reason why the organization has spread so quickly around the world is that if there wasn't a flag of national justice flying, no matter how rich Jiang Cheng was, the big bosses of those associations wouldn't be so willing to work for him.
Tail.
Situ Meitang nodded slightly in agreement. According to everyone's deductions, Japan is about to attack Nanyang. Those young and middle-aged overseas Chinese in Nanyang have to prepare to join the war. Those teenagers are the future, and these people cannot waste their youth.
After Jiang Cheng said this, he continued: Go to Canada and help me buy some British equipment, especially heavy weapons. Just buy enough for 10,000 people. You don't need too many. The tanks should be better. Once you buy them, leave them with you.
Here, I will be useful when the time comes. After saying that, Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and found that there was nothing to buy for the time being, so he said that the remaining money would be used to buy military machinery and super large equipment. Don’t touch the money for futures and stocks, as long as you keep speculating.
Well, I believe those financial elites must be capable enough in this regard.
He Ankang was also very confident about this matter and said nothing.
After using short yen to sweep away the Japanese foreign exchange economy, Jiang Cheng returned to modern times. Suddenly, an extremely powerful pressure spread throughout Jiang Cheng's body. Jiang Cheng suddenly wanted to open his eyes, but found that he couldn't do it.
, Jiang Cheng quickly shouted in his mind that the big bug should come out and see what happened.
Gallagher also noticed something was wrong with Jiang Cheng's body. He checked and said, "How much space do you have now?"
Jiang Cheng immediately said that the radius is more than forty-nine meters. I don’t know the details. What’s wrong?
Gallagher immediately said that this is about to reach the end of time, the space-time ball is about to evolve again, and maybe you will soon be able to fulfill your mother's wish.
The mother, Jiang Cheng, thought for a while and then realized that it was Sun Ning. Another pressure came over her. Dark black blood beads slowly appeared on Jiang Cheng's skin. She didn't know whether it was good or bad.
Not to mention the pain Jiang Cheng suffered while traveling through time and space, in Spain during the Republic of China, a large army had already been deployed.
The Fortress of Gibraltar is about to explode.
Berlin
This is the plan of our Navy Department. Erich Raeder looked at Hitler with some anxiety. This plan can be said to be extremely bold. Generally speaking, as a conservative, he would not propose such a plan, but the current situation
It was completely different. Firstly, the submarine faction within the Admiralty continued to grow stronger. Secondly, the balance of naval power between Britain and Germany at this time had some subtle changes compared with history.
Historically, the German Navy was eager to win in order to gain Hitler's support for the navy, so it dispatched its ace Bismarck to attract the attention of the British army in order to attack the British caravans. As a result, the ace Bismarck sank in a battle. At the same time, it could have been of great help.
The French Navy has also been almost wiped out by the British. The Italian Navy is trapped in the Mediterranean. The British Home Fleet has more than a dozen main battleships. The only new battleship of the German Navy has become a homebody, and the only aircraft carrier has been in the dock.
Lying down, the only ones that are really used are some battlecruisers and armored ships, and there is no way to start a head-on battle.
The German submarines in this time and space have been valued by Hitler for a long time, and they have done a good job in blocking Britain. They even showed their glory in the Battle of France and killed many of Britain's main battleships. Naturally, there is no need to rush out in such a hurry.
In the Atlantic Ocean, the German Navy's main sea surface warships at this time have two Bismarck-class battleships and two Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers. Their strength is still far lower than that of the British Navy, but the French Navy has built in the past two years
With two Richelieu-class battleships, Germany can now form a fleet of four super battleships, which is enough to fight the British army. After all, although the British home fleet has been strengthened to ten battleships, most of them are
Among the old models, the latest model is only the George V class battleship, but this type of battleship has a full load displacement of only 43,000 tons, armament of 10 356 mm main guns, main armor of 381 mm carburized steel armor, and a maximum speed of 29.25 knots.
The Bismarck battleship has a full load displacement of 50,900 tons, an armament of eight 380mm main guns, and a main armor of 320mm. Although not as thick as George V, the German body uses ST52 shipbuilding steel, and the side main turret and command tower are made of
The ka surface carburizing hardened steel has high surface hardness and strength and excellent quality. It has almost 20 more defenses than other steels of the same grade, which is almost equivalent to the 384 mm armor of a British battleship, and its main
The thickness of the turret and other important positions is as high as 380 mm. This is not the end. Drawing on the successful design experience of the Deutschland-class armored ship, Bismarck also integrated a large amount of armor into its hull structure. Among them, the 110-120 mm main body serves as an independent structural component.
Horizontal armor inclined part, 80-100mm main horizontal armor horizontal part, 2060mm lateral internal armor and 30mm longitudinal internal armor. This makes it much stronger in defense. In history, even if it finally sank, its main part did not break or have any obvious damage.
Twisted, this is obviously different from most warships of other countries. The speed is also due to Germany's advanced industrial technology, the fastest can reach 32 knots. In fact, this is a helpless move. After all, if the German army is not as fast as the British army, it will be easily defeated.
The British army took advantage of its numerical advantage to eliminate it. In other words, no ship in the British fleet at this time could compare to the German Bismarck.
The French Richelieu-class battleship is not bad either, with a full load displacement of 47,548 tons, and is equipped with two new quadruple 1935-style 45 times diameter 380 mm main gun turrets, which are arranged side by side on the front deck. Its defensive power is also extremely amazing. The front of the turret
The armor thickness reaches 430 mm, and the maximum power speed reaches 32 knots, which is stronger than the British George V.
In the battleship race, Britain has fallen behind. Of course, if you count the Lion-class battleships still under construction in British shipyards, it is another story. But with the constant harassment from Germany, when will this class of battleships appear?
, no one can tell clearly.
In view of this situation, and the fact that Gibraltar is a place that Britain must save, Redel's plan is very simple. First, let the Italian fleet, the French African fleet and the German army besiege Gibraltar. The Italian fleet and the French African fleet do not need to attack by force.
As long as the sea is blocked, the Egyptian fleet will be unable to escape under the attack of Rommel's Afrika Korps. What's more, the island of Malta is already in the hands of the Axis powers and can be supported at any time.
Faced with the current situation of being blocked in the Mediterranean Sea, the British Home Fleet will definitely send troops to rescue. At that time, the fleet of four German and French super battleships can wait and attack the British Home Fleet. After all, the German and French fleets are faster than the British fleet.
You can completely use your speed to leave the battlefield before the British reinforcements are reinforced to ensure safety.
In fact, the German army thought this way in history. When designing the warships, the Germans never thought that they would be able to fight a decisive battle with the Royal Navy in a short period of time. Therefore, they required the warships to be able to fight and escape. If the Bismarck had not leaked intelligence first and then
It was hit by three torpedoes, one of which hit the stern of the ship, causing the Bismarck's rudder angle to get stuck at 15 degrees. The British fleet may not be able to catch it.
Hitler was obviously attracted by this plan. It was very risky. He gambled on four super battleships in World War I. But what Hitler was not afraid of the most was the risk, because he understood very well that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. And if this plan once
Success can change the balance of maritime power on the Western Front and provide powerful conditions for besieging Britain. It can also completely attract Stalin's attention on the Eastern Front. As long as he releases the news of landing, Stalin will definitely not believe that he is actually going to deal with the Soviet Union.
.
Hitler agreed to the plan and gave it a very interesting name: Project Jutland. As soon as Raeder heard the name of the plan, he knew Hitler's intentions. He stood straight and said, "please don't worry, the head of state, the navy will definitely be a success."

Fortress of Gibraltar, April 10, 1942
Without any warning, the British soldiers guarding the Fortress of Gibraltar saw dense dots of light suddenly appearing on their radar in the morning light. As an extremely important fortress, radars were also installed here.
The enemy is attacking. The enemy is attacking. Get ready for war. This is not a drill. Get ready for war. This is not a drill. The piercing siren sounded throughout the fortress. Groups of military families and civilians living in the fortress hid in the fortress. Anti-aircraft guns and fortress cannons raised themselves.
The muzzles of the guns were facing the direction of Spain. They had long known that a powerful enemy was coming.
Of course, many planes also started emergency takeoffs at the airport. When more than twenty British Spitfire fighter jets flew that day, the German fighter planes could already be vaguely seen.
Lieutenant General Mitchell, the commander-in-chief of the fortress who looked at the incoming enemy with a telescope, couldn't help but frowned. The aircraft he saw were all BF109s. This kind of aircraft could put a lot of pressure on him in the past few years.
But it was no longer possible, and he knew that Germany already had new fighter planes. The most important thing was that the planes he saw had Spanish logos painted on them, which meant that these were Spanish planes.
The two armies began to exchange fire over the fortress. The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns below found the lone Spanish aircraft and fired wildly. There were not many Spanish aircraft, only thirty or forty, and they quickly retreated. Look.
Looking at the dozens of Spanish planes that were shot down, Mitchell was not at all as happy as the others. He suddenly realized that these people might just be fire reconnaissance people.
In a mountainous area about 35 kilometers away from the fortress, a German officer listened to the order coming from the phone and said, "Everything remains unchanged and prepare to fire."
Red flags were erected one after another, and 20-meter-long gun barrels were erected. There are more than a dozen huge train guns on the railway in this mountainous area, and the two largest ones are still being installed. These
The train guns include eight German K5 train guns, two K12 train guns, and seven or eight French train guns of various types. It can be said that the German army has brought more than half of the train guns here, which makes it the first time to
As a result, 18 artillery shells with a caliber exceeding 200mm fell into the Fortress of Gibraltar.
Boom boom boom
Huge explosions could be faintly heard in the artillery positions more than 40 kilometers away. There were more than a dozen groups of German fighter planes escorting and cruising in their sky at all times. Around them, there were even more
Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns are waiting in full formation. There is no other way. What the artillerymen fear most is the air force.
The British soldiers in the Fortress of Gibraltar only felt the ground shaking. From the air, they could see more than a dozen large craters appearing in the fortress. Everything around the craters was swept away by the shock wave. A 340mm artillery shell fell on the airport.
, both aircraft and soldiers near the explosion point were blown up far away in an instant. When the smoke cleared, only a large crater several meters deep was left. This was caused by the armor-piercing bomb.
Lieutenant General Mitchell's face changed. He had just counted nearly 20 explosive points, and they were all super-large-caliber artillery. Although these artillery could not threaten the fortress itself, the airport outside was undefended. Such an explosion would
If we go down, the air force of the Fortress of Gibraltar will be the first to die. To be continued...
