46

Early September.

In Europe, in Asia, and in Southeast Asia, the whole world is like a pot of boiling hot oil, and the bombing of the United States driven by the mustache has added a lot of firewood to this pot of hot oil.

The world boiled in an instant.

The hysterical patient Mustache was greatly encouraged to see how well the bombing was effective, and while staring at the Eastern Front, he also freed up some of his energy to push for a new large-scale bombing.

And this time, he targeted Qiu Fatzi's territory.

British Isles.

At the Wolf Protector meeting, the mustache howls and vows to avenge the grievances of the English air war, blow up the British, and let the damned Britons live in the sewers under the rubble.

To this end, he agreed to Kesselring's mass recruitment of foreign crews, expanding the bomber fleet to 1,000 planes, and returning the first few bombardments to the British, and on a much larger scale.

New air force training camps were established in the interior of Northern Europe, pilots were trained on a large scale, and escort aircraft groups were formed.

At the same time, he finally made up his mind to throw the fat man who had been opposed to the introduction of the 'warehouse' and passively resisted the troublemakers home for retirement, and handed over the power of the air force to Marshal Kesselring.

As for the huge air defense of the British Isles, which would lead to the loss of bomber troops, Old Fox and Kesselring repeatedly persuaded on this ground, but the mustache believed that victory would come at a cost.

In war, there are always casualties.

The German Aryans could afford this price.

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

As a result, the mustache was autocratic and dictatorial, and firmly demanded the bombing against public opinion, and even sent out the mission.

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

However, the hysterical mustache had a lot of ideas, sometimes an idea in the morning, an idea in the afternoon, and after staying in Wolf Bao for a while, imagining the future of the empire, he suddenly felt that the new scale of the Thousand Plane Bombardment would take at least a month to build.

The new bombers in the warehouse will not be delivered until October.

Before he had gathered enough 1,000 planes, the mustache didn't want to bomb the British Isles, firstly, because the intensity was not enough, and secondly, it was not nice to say.

Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to...

So, a new idea came to his mind.

The United States has bombed, so shouldn't the bear in the north also come here?

Although there is no specific information this time, the production base on the Urals side, the oil fields in the Caucasus, and the mineral deposits in the deeper inland areas are all live bombing targets.

"Call Marshal Kesselring here."

The mustache is a man of action, he does what he says.

·····

The other side.

American continent.

Mr. President in a wheelchair made an impassioned speech.

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

With the help of this shareholder wind, this so-called giant in a wheelchair has once again exerted his strength.

On the same day, a new round of large-scale procurement lists appeared in the field of 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 coke made the market crazy, and the production capacity of many companies has been further expanded.

Scientific research institutes were also mobilized to study new aircraft, tanks, how to increase production capacity and increase production efficiency.

The Allied arsenal is once again in force.

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

A few days later, a head of the military industry walked into the White House and presented an investigative report to the president.

"Severe shortage of steel production?"

Hearing the words of the head of the military industry, the president was at first somewhat unconvinced.

At this time, the United States accounted for more than half of the world's steel production, with 80.95 million tons of steel output last year, and very little was used for civilian use, almost all of which was consumed by the military industry.

As a result, now someone actually came to tell him, or the head of the military industry, there is 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, taking into account the expansion of the production line and this year's steel gap of more than 10 million tons, it is expected that we need more than 120 million tons of steel next year, and the gap is more than 30 million tons."

"It's still without exporting."

"So big!"

The president was horrified.

Although after the suspension of the Pacific War, almost all of the supplies of the United States were put into Europe and put into the Western Front, but it was still insufficient, and most of the materials needed to be consumed by more than 20 million front-line troops on the Eastern and Western Fronts needed to be provided by the United States.

"Yes."

The person in charge continued:

"This is only the lack of steel, in fact, including aluminum, copper, most of the raw materials are lacking, the expansion task is too big, we have enough funds and manpower, but it takes time to expand the scale of the industry, and raw materials also need time to expand."

"If it were in peacetime, if it wasn't for the experience accumulated before, even if there were sufficient funds, it would have taken at least three and a half years for us to expand such a large production."

"Otherwise, Canada, South America, other countries can make up for it, and it won't delay the production increase plan, but steel will become our constraint."

"Is there a way?"

The president asked.

"Yes."

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 China's steel production as quickly as possible."

"I've checked with professionals that the technology is feasible."

"Zhao Jiayu University..."

Hearing this blunt transliteration of the noun, the president in the wheelchair subconsciously looked at the bottles of medicine on the side.

The university, which was recently established by a group of farmers who had received mysterious assistance, is less than a year old and has a small reputation in the world, but it represents the world's cutting-edge technology.

These bottles of strange drugs that saved his life, the production technology and equipment are in this university, and all the top experts in which Ping An Hospital teach in this university.

Right now.

Steelmaking technology has emerged again at this university.

"Who the hell is he?"

The president couldn't help but mumble to himself, with a distraction.

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

It's really illogical.

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

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

It's outrageous.

"Mr. President."

The person in charge interrupted the president's distraction:

"When I was buying medicines, I asked people and they said that they could transfer technology, but they offered a very high price."

"How much more can I increase production?"

The president asked.

"If there is such a technology, we only need half a year to complete the technological transformation without affecting production, and next year we can reach an annual output of 1.5 billion tons."

"It can reach 200 million tons the next year."

"How much did they bid?"

The president's pupils shrank slightly.

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

"With the addition of several drug technologies, the new style offers a total of $350 million."

The person in charge said.

"Three and a half million dollars!"

The president was taken aback.

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

It is true that the lion opened his mouth.

Although the quotation is not equal to the actual price, according to the last deal on the technology of extended-range shells, this price can be deliberately reduced by 30 percent, which means that the United States needs to pay 250 million US dollars for this.

Medicines are not just needed.

Therefore, the $250 million is actually for the purchase of an increase of 70 million tons of steel.

With this calculation, the president suddenly felt that it was worth it.

At present, his financial plan is to release water in a big way, and with the stimulus of war, the global industrial production capacity has been hit, and only the United States has maintained its production capacity, printing money on a large scale.

While printing too much money can cause inflation, these massively printed dollars are diluted globally and pocketed in countries with minimal impact on the country.

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

After the war, Europe was basically destroyed, but the world's demand for goods will not decrease, there will be a huge market vacuum, coupled with the reconstruction of various countries, the market is even larger, at this time with a little force, you can completely solve the sequelae caused by the over-issuance of currency in the war, and at the same time can obtain greater benefits.

This is also the main reason why he dared to let go of the lease bill.

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

The person in charge added.

"Cash."

The old president suddenly laughed:

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

As the president of the United States, who experienced the Great Depression ten years ago, he naturally has a different vision, and unlike the group of people who dig their own graves in the Republic of China, he knows very well that the currency itself has no value, and what is valuable is the ability of a country.

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

To put it simply, you can print a certain amount of national currency in proportion to how many goods you can produce.

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

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

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

The president already knew through the intelligence services that the mustache was preparing to bomb the British intelligence in a frenzy.

It is foreseeable that the fate of the British mainland will not be good.

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

At that time, only the United States will have perfect industrial capacity in the world, and the United States will become the factory of the world, and the dollar will become the dollar of the world, and the earth will be the United States.

How many dollars can the whole world hold?

But.

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

His decision planted the seeds of the post-war dollar falling off the altar and stepping into the footsteps of fiat currency.

However, now he did not have time to think about these things, and after the head of the military industry left, he called for a meeting with the head of the Manhattan Project, Admiral Leslie Groves.

"How?"

The president's tone was nervous.

The hope of victory lies in the Manhattan Project.

"It's better than expected."

Admiral Leslie Groves replied:

"Although the plant was destroyed, most of the research results have been retained and it is expected to be restarted in three months, and construction of a new and larger factory cluster has already begun."

Admiral Leslie Groves accentuated his tone as he spoke the group.

"It is expected that in twenty months, the official trial will begin."

"And because we have plenty of time, we have more time to accumulate raw materials, and after a month of trials, if there are no technical errors, we can start mass production, and after three months, we can produce 25 pieces."

"Okay."

The president couldn't help but slam his fist to vent the excitement in his heart.

Twenty-five, enough to end the battle.

·····

Meanwhile.

Mosco.

Inside that palace.

"How's it going?"

The bearded man with a big pipe in his mouth asked the people below.

"The Americans have already promised to double the aid, in which the number of tanks, cars, artillery that we urgently need will be tripled."

The person in front of him hurriedly replied.

"Okay."

Hearing the news, the bearded man was overjoyed.

Doubling the supplies, including three times as many tanks, automobiles, and artillery that the troops urgently needed, would greatly alleviate the immediate need and allow the front-line troops to hold off a new German offensive.

"For security reasons, all of these additional supplies will be transported through the Pacific Ocean."

The man in front of him continued.

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

The bearded man couldn't help but compliment.

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

After a while, the bearded man met with two people again, one of whom was the commander of the native air defense, of course, this person was insignificant, the Germans did not have 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 Bailiya.

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

The pipe tapped on the table, and the bearded voice was particularly serious:

"This has to be done right away."

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

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

Baileya's tone was confident:

"According to the information obtained from the wolf protection, the Germans are preparing with all their strength to bomb Britain and will not use our hands for the time being."

"Is the information accurate?"

The bearded man's tone was obviously a lot happier.

"Sure."

Baileya's tone was still confident, and then he handed the bearded man a few photos.

The photo shows an autographed order from the mustache that next month, in October, a thousand planes will be formed to bomb Britain.
