September 25th.

Gulf of Mexico.

on a yacht.

In the bright dance hall, the wonderful dancers are swaying Miaoman's figure, and on the opposite booth, a group of 'people' in suits are sitting on the sofa, holding wine glasses, the corners of their mouths are hooked, and their eyes are unscrupulously admiring the beautiful scenery on the dance floor.

"I heard."

Someone opened the topic:

"What's wrong with Zhili?"

Everyone turned their gaze to one person.

Everyone is a super-first-class rich man in the United States, with a lot of wealth in his hands, a lot of assets at home and abroad, and the military, political and business circles eat everything, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky, although he is now participating in the war and joining the army under his full name, but this has nothing to do with them.

And the person who is attracted to everyone's attention is the person who actually controls Zhili Minerals.

With the development of the chemical synthesis industry, although guano has become outdated, the copper mines over there are not ordinary people.

"It's not a big problem."

The man shook the red wine in his hand, smiled and said:

"Maybe I can get some more shares!"

Coup, change and nothing more!

It's very common, that place comes once every three days, what's strange.

In the final analysis, it is a struggle of interests, and he is backed by the American government, holding a large amount of money, and his influence is all over the place.

It would be nice to do it again.

Supporting an obedient person, and then bundling interests, can also take the opportunity to increase assets a lot.

······

September 26.

Zhili.

"Here..."

A Chinese businessman looked at the statistical table in his hand and couldn't help but exclaim:

"The economy is basically in the hands of foreign businessmen, especially Americans, who control more than seventy percent."

"Tsk..."

"No wonder it's all a bunch of chicks, let the Americans handle it at will."

The other person on the side also nodded in agreement.

Although it didn't take long for his family to drive away the Japanese and really stand up, under the construction of Political Commissar Zhao and the guidance of the master, a complete business system has been built.

There are both state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.

Mutual competition promotes progress, and mutual cooperation and complementarity.

It has also established a relatively complete legal system.

Light and heavy industries go hand in hand at the same time, ensuring the lifeline of the national economy and ensuring the livelihood of the people, while also enhancing product competitiveness, and will not lead to vicious competition and malicious monopoly.

Of course, there are still many problems, and there are also a lot of falls, a lot of losses, and a lot of detours, but they are still steadily moving in this direction.

"The lifeblood of a country is controlled by merchants, or merchants of other countries!"

As businessmen, they understand this group of people best.

All interests come first.

If there are no rules and restrictions, there is absolutely no distinction between businessmen, and in order to get more benefits, they can act arbitrarily and by unscrupulous means, not to mention morality, law, and even life.

It's understandable why it's so messy here.

This is also the fundamental reason why a series of restrictive laws and regulations are formulated in China and strongly enforced, and there are a large number of such people in China.

At this moment, with the sound of whining whistles, two huge steamers arrived in the distance, one was a 50,000-ton ro-ro ship and the other was a normal 20,000-ton bulk carrier.

"Do our business."

One of them clapped his hands:

"We're going to kick the Americans out economically."

"Teach this group of Americans, businessmen."

The other snorted coldly:

"First of all, it has to be people!"

What is the lifeblood of the economy?

It is nothing more than matters directly related to life, food, clothing, housing, transportation, medicine, and work.

A person needs food, clothing, shelter and transportation, needs to see a doctor when he is sick, and all this needs money, he must work to be rich, and at the same time, there must be a relatively normal market to meet various needs.

The Americans control a lot of assets and can influence the process so much that the Americans can easily control the country.

Raise prices, reduce jobs, and then lead public opinion, and without jobs, people who can't afford to buy necessities will stand up, march, revolt, cause total chaos.

It's like my own side more than ten years ago.

But now, with their backs to the motherland, they can transport all necessary materials, food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and medicines by sea, and they can meet absolutely sufficient satisfaction.

And then.

They just need to invest and create jobs.

It just so happens that there is also a large domestic market for commodities, copper ore, fertilizers, and fruits, which can be a virtuous cycle, and investment can also be profitable.

Are you in control of the lifeline? Got the rules in place?

I'll just flip the chessboard and won't play with you!

"Anyway, why do we use dollars?"

A businessman was puzzled.

In this business, they have all closed-loop processes, and they can use their own, but they use American currency, which is strange.

"To push the Americans."

The leader smiled and did not explain in detail, but also left a sentence:

"This was arranged by Political Commissar Zhao and the central bank."

Everyone suddenly had no opinion.

······

September 27.

Eastern Front.

Outside Mosco.

The commander of a German armored regiment of the European coalition looked at the seven No. 4 tanks that came back, and his face was solemn.

Although there were no large-scale battles, the skirmishes on the front line never stopped, and both sides kept sending small units to strangle in front of the positions, training troops and attrition of the enemy.

Because of the superiority in equipment and supply, it has always been the European coalition that has an absolute advantage.

After all, on their own side, all of them are equipped with the new No. 4 tank, and on the enemy's side, even the main armored regiment, it is difficult to match the tanks.

But now...

His patrol of ten tanks went out, and in the end only seven returned.

According to reports, the patrol encountered a squad of enemy tanks, also ten, and fighting broke out on both sides, and according to post-war statistics, the losses of tanks on both sides were about the same, both were three destroyed, and several were wounded.

Once he won't pay attention.

After all, the enemy is not exhausted, there are still quite a few elite troops, and there are also a lot of tanks.

But in the last few days, five or six times in a row there have been encounters with a small enemy equipped with tanks, and the rest of the regiments have also encountered this situation, and it is a new type of tank, the artillery is the seventeen-pounder of the British, and what is more troublesome is that the drivers are novices.

This shows that the enemy has also solved the problem of insufficient logistical supplies.

"Trouble!"

The regimental commander's brows furrowed deeply.

The Allied armies on the Western Front pressed the border, and the Eastern Front changed again.

However, the only good news for him was that in the past few days of fighting, a lot of women's car groups were discovered, indicating that the enemy's human resources had been exhausted, and as long as they were defeated again, they would completely collapse.

·····

September 28th.

Eastern Front.

The second layer of the Mosco Line.

The new 98th Panzer Regiment was stationed.

"The losses are too great."

The staff officer reports to the regimental commander:

"In just five days of skirmishes, we lost more than a third of the crew, half of the tanks, and although the current tanks can be replenished quickly, the crews can't."

It is said that it is a small-scale contact battle, but because they are all driving tanks, the battle is fierce, and there is no difference between large-scale battles.

So engaged that a tank regiment lost a third of its crew in five days.

"It's okay."

The head of the regiment has a significantly more long-term vision:

"After five days of fighting, the experience of our surviving crews has improved significantly, and the loss rate today is much lower than yesterday."

"This... Truly. ”

The staff officer nodded in agreement.

"We're going to hold out for two more days, and then we'll be able to go back to the rear."

The head of the regiment spoke in a firm and confident tone:

"Although the scale has decreased, the combat effectiveness has actually increased."

"That's right."

The head of the regiment suddenly said:

"In order to avoid trouble, the above ordered, the women's car group was assembled to form a special armored regiment, the ····· of our regiment"

······

September 30th.

West.

Bayeux region.

"Damn it!"

One of the Ao regimental leaders slammed his fist on the table:

"A bunch of bastards!"

"What the hell is going on in the country?!"

Although it is tightly sealed, it is difficult for even the front-line army to completely block external information, and as time progresses, Austria's army also knows more or less about the situation in the country, although they don't know the specific situation, but the strange behavior of their own generals, and the troops that were suddenly dispersed, they can also speculate that there is a big problem in their own homeland.

"I've caught a captive, according to him..."

A battalion commander hesitated to look at it and said:

"Our homeland is being attacked by others."

"What!"

The regimental commander was immediately angry:

"How is this possible?"

"We are allies of Britain and the United States, are we Japanese?"

"Aren't the Japanese defeated?"

The regiment commander really couldn't figure out who else could fight against the Allies in the Tianpingyang region except the Japanese, and who had the ability to threaten the Austrian mainland.

"It's on the other side of us..."

The battalion commander's tone was still hesitant.

Because the Allied top brass has always denied that there has been no news from the country, they dare not believe the news of these enemies.

"I'll ask."

The regiment commander also didn't believe that Austria had the ability to attack the mainland on the other side? It's absolutely impossible, but the recent strange things have made me feel that something big must have happened in the country.

The regiment commander was about to ask the general when the phone rang:

"Report, the Germans are attacking!"

As soon as the sound of the telephone fell, a boom, a violent explosion rose around the position, and at the same time, dozens of German planes appeared in the sky - because of the lack of numbers, it was not possible to completely seize air supremacy, but local air defense could still do it.

"Damn it."

The head of the regiment scolded again:

"What the hell is going on?!"

It's not just them, it seems that the entire Allied army has a problem, although Bayeux lost 300,000, but the impact on the entire Allied army is actually not great, and the high-level has not launched offensive operations for most of the past half a month, so that the Germans have continuously launched small-scale attacks.

He couldn't figure it out.

······

October 2nd.

"The day before yesterday, the Germans launched an offensive."

Eisenhower listening to the report:

"A regiment on the Austrian front was surrounded, and a front-line logistics node was destroyed."

"Got it."

Eisenhower nodded.

There are many reasons why we have not been attacking recently, but have been defending.

The main thing is to wait for the new tanks to enter service, based on the experience of the last offensive, the Sherman is completely outdated and simply cannot deal with the new No. 5 tank of the Germans, they need a more powerful Pershing tank.

Also, the Normandy area is too small, even if the surrounding islands are used, it can only accommodate the logistics of five million Allied troops, they must regain British air supremacy, the number of jet fighters in service is starting to accelerate, and after a while, preparations can begin to completely deal with the German bomber fleet.

At last

It is to solve the troublesome Austrian troops by the way and avoid creating internal contradictions.

At present, the Allied forces have 20 percent of their logistical supplies and 30 percent of their weapons and equipment provided by the other side, and the other side also uses US dollars and foreign exchange on a large scale, which plays a tremendous role in stabilizing the US dollar.

······

October 3rd.

London.

Qiu Fatzi was looking at the statistics in his hand.

Since he took refuge with the father on the other side, a large number of material resources have been continuously transported to the British Empire, and billions of loans have been obtained, and he can still pay for materials and goods on the land.

It greatly alleviated the financial crisis of the British Empire.

However, the situation in the British Empire was still troublesome and very tricky, with a large number of falling butterfly mines making it almost impossible for the mainland to move an inch, a large number of citizens were injured, and production and construction were almost interrupted.

The British Empire has gone from being almost crippled to what it is today.

Thanks to my father's support, there is no shortage of food and other materials, otherwise I really can't bear it.

"Prime Minister."

The secretary walked in:

"The U.S. Ninth Air Force has been deployed to one-half of its intended size, and President Truman asks you to come and make a trip."

"I see."

Qiu Fatzi nodded.

The Eighth Air Force was a unit dedicated to bombing the German mainland, while the Ninth Air Force was a group of jet fighters that used to completely annihilate the Germans' high-altitude bomber fleet.

This was important for the British Empire.

If the bombing is not ended, the butterfly thunder that falls on the mainland every day, if it lasts for half a year or even longer, is enough to make the empire unable to breathe on its own for a hundred years.

"That's right."

Before setting off, Qiu Fatzi suddenly asked the secretary:

"Zhili has changed recently, right?"

Why did Lao Du invite him? Qiu Fatzi knew very well that, of course, he was using the Ninth Air Force to force him to take refuge in the Americans.

But.

From the Battle of the Pacific, the Manhattan Project leaks, and the change of Zhili and the financial aid to Zhili,

Obviously, the dad on the other side of the Pacific is much thicker and stronger than the American dad, and it is more in line with the interests of the British Empire.

Naturally, Qiu Fatzi planned in his heart to first take refuge in the Americans for a period of time, use the Americans to solve some problems, reap some benefits, and wait for the end of the war, or when the victory or defeat has been decided, it is not too late to turn his face.
