Chapter 32: World War II
On April 19, 1940, the Huntelaar Communications Laboratory published the world's first transistor!
Also on April 19, 1940, German planes took to the skies, tanks roared, and five aircraft carriers sailed out of their home ports - World War II began!
Germany, Italy and Japan, the three great powers began to attack. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just like in another world, the tragic French were quickly defeated, and this time they did not only lose faster, but they also did not have the good fortune of another world in Dunkirk, where hundreds of thousands of Anglo-French troops were wiped out by the Germans! And after ending the war in France, the Germans began the bombing of Britain for the first time!
In just two months, the British, who had been far from the battlefield in World War I, were devastated.
It was at this time that the Huntelaar Military Aircraft Manufacturing Company came up with a fighter with excellent performance, and the Huntelaar Communications Company was willing to provide a radar with excellent performance - something that Britain desperately needed!
The British, who were in crisis, pinched their noses and agreed to their offer.
A large number of Chinese antiques that had been flowing into Britain since the Opium War era were loaded onto one freighter after another, and shipped from Britain to the other side of the Atlantic, in exchange for more than 500 warplanes and five radars. And when the French, under the persecution of the British, also spit out countless treasures, they got twice as much as the goods!
Within a month, they received goods from the Huntelaar consortium.
The huge number of 1,000 fighters allowed the world to see the careful preparation and huge production capacity of the Huntelaar consortium before the war, while the ten radars let the world see their exquisite technology and advanced inventions. All of a sudden, not only the British and French, but also the Germans, Italians, the Japanese, and the Soviets, all waved their money and began to buy their products - large quantities of gold were loaded onto ships from Europe and shipped to the United States or China!
What's more important is that in addition to weapons, there is also penicillin!
It took more than ten years for Huntelaar to solve the problem of large-scale production of penicillin, and then reduce the cost to a little more than a dollar. But in the case of this exclusive monopoly, penicillin, like the historical World War II, was sold at a sky-high price! Launched before the outbreak of the war, in the following years Huntelaar Pharmaceuticals worked hard at several factories in China and North America, and sold more than 200 million bottles of penicillin throughout the war!
A small half of the orders are made in China.
The war began, and the of China and the United States began again. This time, unlike the First World War, Britain and France really had to do their best, in addition to a shipload of antiques and gold, they even took out their colonies in exchange, buying weapons, ammunition and any supplies in the hands of Chinese and Americans. In 1942 alone, in order to cope with the submarine warfare of the Germans, the British bought more than two hundred destroyers from the Huntelaar consortium at the shipyards of China and the United States at the expense of dozens of islands in the Pacific Ocean!
The outbreak of war has given China a renewed momentum!
Although they successfully completed another ten-year plan, the huge plan also slowly dried up the reserves of the Huntelaar consortium, and the country's fiscal revenue did not meet the corresponding needs for a while, and when the investment was about to slow down, World War II broke out. As a neutral country, China has a huge infrastructure, a strong industrial system, and a large number of low-paid industrial workers, and the explosion is enough to make people marvel!
During the entire World War II, China received almost a quarter of the orders from the United States!
Especially the neighboring Japanese, who have to buy almost everything they need from China. It can be said that one-third of everything Japan consumed in the war came from China, and it was not until after the United States entered the war that the Chinese cut off trade with Japan in order to align themselves with close allies and turned their attention to the Soviet Union and the United States.
To resist Germany, the Soviets had to turn to China for help.
Without the windfall of the Great Depression, the Soviets were far less industrially powerful than they were at the same time in history, and they were beyond the power of Germany. Even if there is a burst of seeds in the war, the scale of their industry cannot support the consumption of the war. Therefore, in the later stage of the war, they could only take the gold supported by the United States, Britain and other allies, and buy all kinds of military supplies in China, such as tanks, such as airplanes, and so on.
Historically, forty percent of the orders for aircraft that Americans aided the Soviet Union were given to the Chinese.
The United States' aid to the Soviet Union throughout the war can be said to be second only to the aid to Britain, and more than half of the orders fell on China, after all, China was the closest to the Soviet Union, and the cost of production was lower. Under the coordination of Mr. Huntelaar, the consortium took over half of the factories in China, and the other half was handed over to Chinese own factories......
As in the last war, the Huntelaar consortium was the biggest beneficiary.
All countries have developed their own tanks, and the tanks of the Huntelaar consortium have no market except for equipping the US military, but there is no one in the sky who can avoid the demon of the Huntelaar military aircraft manufacturing company! Countless people speculate that the Germans secretly obtained their technology through cooperation with the Chinese, otherwise they would never have been able to design a guy similar to the Huntelaar aircraft. But Britain and France, which have no evidence, can only buy in large quantities helplessly! In addition to the U.S. military that participated in the war in the later period, the Huntelaar Military Aircraft Manufacturing Company sold more than 50,000 aircraft throughout World War II, and even had to pull in civil aircraft manufacturing companies to help during the busiest time......
The aircraft carriers and freighters produced by the Huntelaar shipyard almost dominated the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans!
Supercarriers with a displacement of 90,000 tons and a capacity of one hundred and ninety aircraft were produced, in total, twenty-six were produced. And the large cargo ships that disembark from the standard assembly table are almost one a day at the peak, and there are more than 100 of them that have been transformed into light aircraft carriers alone! Together with destroyers, submarines and other warships, as well as submachine guns, rifles, cannons, bullets, and shells of the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company, the Huntelaar military-industrial system once again showed the world their strength!
The all-encompassing Huntelaar consortium makes people gnash their teeth when it makes money.
Huntelaar Motors alone provided $11 billion worth of products during World War II, a number that is almost as high as the historical figure of General Motors. And let's not forget, GM offers planes, tanks, and much more in addition to trucks, etc.
In the later stages of the war, all kinds of black technologies emerged in endlessly!
In September 1943, the Huntelaar Military Aircraft Manufacturing Company launched the world's first jet fighter, and there were 300 of them! The US military has paid an astronomical sum of money and bought out the exclusive right to use this fighter in one fell swoop -- they will definitely not hand over this kind of thing to the British and French, preferring to bear all the research funds and so on. It's just a pity that the Germans built the same jet just three months later and immediately went into battle......
In October 1943, the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company introduced a new weapon called the "Missile", which had a range of more than fifty kilometers. Although expensive, the U.S. Army ordered the first batch of 20 pieces, and later another 200 pieces, and after entering the war, all soldiers on the European front line were shocked.
In January 1944, Huntelaar Communications launched the world's first electronic computer, the Galaxy, which was only one-third the size of ENIAC, but five times as powerful! As soon as it was produced, the Galaxy was put into the development of the atomic bomb, and one-fifth of the scientists and technicians in the Manhattan Project came from the Huntelaar laboratory. With the help of computers, two little fat men were born half a year ahead of schedule, and finally landed on the heads of the Japanese a month early......
With the help of many black weapons, the war started later and ended earlier.
In 1945, when two atomic bombs were dropped on the heads of the Japanese, the Second World War was completely ended, even a month and a half before history. It's just that although the time is shorter, the consumption of World War II is greater! All kinds of advanced weapons appeared in advance, which greatly increased the consumption of the great powers, and all the countries participating in the war, except for the United States, suffered extremely heavy losses without exception!
The Soviet Union, which has historically taken a big advantage, also has half the benefits this time.
The Americans' jet fighters and a large number of Huntelaar 1943 tanks allowed them to occupy the entire territory of Berlin before the Soviets could reach the German border. Without Berlin, which was divided in half, without German equipment and technology, without a large number of elites, the Soviets would have lost only John? Huntelaar alone knew......
Even the Americans themselves lost more in this war than in history.
The Germans were so powerful that the format of the war in Europe was almost one-sided, and in the end the United States had to enter the war a year earlier and join the huge game. For the United States, this is not a good thing, but for the Huntelaar consortium it is the best result, the millions of US Army need weapons, the huge air force and navy need weapons, and in order to protect those American gang boys, the US government does not hesitate to use the best things, which has brought huge benefits to the Huntelaar consortium, so that the US government can not stand it later.
For a while, the U.S. government desperately wanted China to get involved as it did in World War I.
It's just a pity that the Chinese who made money and made money had little interest in World War II, and it took them more than a year to join World War II in the second half of 1944, and the artillery fire was only aimed at the Japanese in Asia!
The distance between China and Japan is too close.
It didn't take the Americans to cross the Atlantic to get to Japan. It is precisely because of this that the US government has been urging China to enter the war, after all, China in this world is not weak, at least the strength of China's army is not weak, and even compared with the US army, it cannot be said that it is at a disadvantage.
At the same time, although China's naval power is not strong, but the strength of the shipbuilding industry is not weak, with the technical support of the Huntelaar shipyard, ten simple aircraft carriers were urgently renovated before entering the war, and more than 30 were subsequently renovated. China also had aircraft carriers, so thousands of pilots, trained by instructors from their own country and the United States, at the cost of dozens of lives, finally managed to build a huge number of naval, sea, and air forces.
At the end of 1944, under the cover of the US Pacific Fleet, China began its offensive.
Millions of Chinese troops landed in Southeast Asia and Taiwan to fight the Japanese army under the cover of countless warplanes, while the Chinese navy accepted the command of the U.S. Navy and began its World War II journey of accumulating experience or playing soy sauce. In early 1945, Chinese and American forces were the first to liberate Taiwan, and two months later, Japanese forces in Southeast Asia surrendered, and four months later, two atomic bombs ended the war......
In any case, the Chinese still entered the war.
After all, it cost more than 100,000 people, so when China proposed to take back Taiwan and the Ryukyus, and annex parts of Burma and neighboring countries after the war, no country raised any opinions. Even in order to get the Chinese to hand over the territory they had laid down in Central and South Asia, the British obediently returned Hong Kong - and the Portuguese followed suit, because the Chinese did not be polite to them and directly asked for it!
But what the British didn't expect was that their colonies could not be kept in the end.
The wave of independence after World War II erupted so rapidly that the British, as well as the French, had no strength to maintain their rule, and only a country like China, which had almost no losses in World War II, had the strength to forcefully suppress the annexed lands around it, and finally let Burma and other neighboring countries remain permanently in perpetuity......
In 1945, World War II ended.
There is no doubt that China and the United States have emerged as the biggest winners, as China has taken the opportunity to accomplish the goals of its third ten-year plan in just four years, and has taken back Taiwan, the Ryukyus, Hong Kong, and even Burma, becoming one of the true powers. And the United States took advantage of the complete decline of Britain and France to become the hegemon in the capitalist world!
The vast colonies of Britain and France also became winners.
In just ten years, Asia and the very large colonies fell apart, and the empire on which the sun never set completely disappeared. And taking advantage of this golden opportunity, the United States and China have joined forces to control Southeast Asia and the Middle East, among other places. Southeast Asia is a little difficult, but the Middle East couldn't be simpler, a few years ago the Huntelaar consortium bought a large area of land for oil exploitation, such as the Saudi Arabian 1 million kilometers of land, the Huntelaar consortium grabbed ahead of the Rockefeller, so that the kid jumped straight to his feet......
A new era has finally begun.
