Chapter VII: A New Round of Money Robbery (Request for Initial Order)

Backbite! Backbite! Backbite!

On the sea of Koro Bay, the four aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire flashed red lights at the same time, and a rapid battle siren sounded.

Soon, the operational briefing was announced through the fleet channel in all cabins of the aircraft carrier.

"Attention everyone! The ship will begin preparations at 10:10 a.m. and will begin its combat mission at 10:35 a.m.! Please report it immediately! Repeat! This is not a drill! ”

Hurried footsteps sounded on the deck, and the pilots rushed to the rear deck area of the aircraft carrier.

Raptor heavy carrier-based fighters and Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers lined up the entire aft deck area in an orderly manner, and their bodies were black and shiny, and their mighty posture appeared domineering and exposed.

The pilots found their own cars and worked with the pilots to check the various parts of the aircraft's systems. Ground crews began to refuel and, as the briefing was taught, to equip the fighters with artillery ammunition and for the bombers to carry aerial bombs.

A pilot speaks to the pilot on board while refueling a fighter jet.

"Are you going to fight the Japanese today?"

"It will take a week for the Japanese to enter our combat radius, and today they will bomb the Fijian tribe!"

"Aren't we supporting the Fitans?"

"It's a time and a moment. Now that we have spent money to buy Fiji from the British, the Fijian people are naturally reluctant, so we are now enemies. ”

At 10:35 a.m., the squadrons on the aircraft carrier completed their preparations one after another.

With an order from the fleet command, the first wave of fighter groups began to take off.

Each Tianwang-class aircraft carrier is designed to carry 130 P6E carrier-based aircraft, but with the Raptor Ship Battle, the Hellfire ship bombardment has been launched. Because both of these fighters are heavy fighters, they can only accommodate 54 Raptor battles and 36 Hellfire ships despite the folding wings. As well as 6 P6E carrier-based fighters and 6 FC-1 torpedo reconnaissance aircraft in the hangar. Among them, the P6E ship battle is to serve as the aircraft carrier's vigilance and defense mission when other aircraft are out on duty, while the FC-1 torpedo reconnaissance aircraft can not only serve as reconnaissance missions, but also carry torpedoes and act as torpedo planes when necessary.

The Raptor carrier-based fighters took off first, they did not need catapults, and the three squadrons took off to free up the take-off runway for the Hellfire carrier-based bombers.

The Hellfire heavy carrier-based bomber has a take-off weight of 5.2 tons when fully loaded, and in addition to the 130-meter-long take-off runway, it must also be assisted by a catapult.

With zuihou a Hellfire carrier-based bomber was ejected after taking off. The 36 Hellfire ships formed two flight squadrons, A and B, and formed a mixed formation with the three flight squadrons A, B and C composed of 54 Raptor carrier-based fighters that had been circling in the air earlier.

About five minutes later, the Tenno Air Force took the lead in completing the air formation. Immediately after that, the air fleets of the other three aircraft carriers also completed their air grouping one after another.

Hundreds of fighters and bombers swooped down on the entire Fiji Islands at once. They were ordered to carry out indiscriminate attacks on Fijian tribes.

Previously, the Fijian people led by Latu slaughtered all the Indians, and now the Tang army has committed crimes against humanity under the pretext of the Fiji massacre of the Indians, and has begun to carry out devastating blows against the Fi.

Three hundred years ago, Americans' ancestors used wars, redemptions, annexations, and other means to help the United States expand. They slaughtered almost all the local aborigines.

Three hundred years later. The Tang Empire had a precedent for the Americans to follow, and in the process of expanding its territory, it became a matter of course to clean up the local aborigines to make room for more Tang people.

The sky over the Fiji Islands was gloomy, and the warplanes of the Don Army filled the entire sky. Accompanied by bursts of screams, one aerial bomb after another exploded, and in an instant, a great earthquake trembled, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the sky.

The Datang Marines attacked from all sides. The tanks rumbled forward, crushing everything. The surrounding Marines followed the tank forward. Occasionally, a few Fii people would sneak attack with weapons, but they were soon strafed by the Tang Army's M1 submachine gun and were immediately beaten into a meat sieve.

Afterwards, a few Tang soldiers armed with flamethrowers would quickly step forward and burn the enemy alive or dead. One is to prevent the decay of corpses from causing an epidemic of plague, and at the same time, it is also to destroy corpses to cover up the Tang army's crime of killing indigenous people.

One by one, the tribes of the Fei people completely disappeared from the face of the earth.

In just one week, the Fijian people fell from heaven to hell, their tribe was completely destroyed, hundreds of thousands were killed in the fighting, and only a few thousand fled to the primeval forests of Mount Tomaniwi.

Grand Chief Latour had no room for resistance at all, and his army was wiped out at the first time when it was caught between the Tang army and the inside and outside, and Latour himself was shot by Tang army snipers.

The Tang army seized all of Fiji with iron-blooded means, and it was not until half a century later that the highly democratized Tang Empire openly daoqian the remaining Fijian natives. However, at that time, there were already tens of millions of Tang people living in the Fiji Islands, and although the Tang Empire government agreed to return the right to vote and be elected by the Fijian aborigines, the Fijian aborigines of less than 10,000 people could no longer shake the absolute dominance of the Tang people over the Fiji Islands.

During the entire process of seizing Fiji, as the chief planner, Zhang Meng showed his superb political acumen and thunderous means, seized the most critical natural barrier for the Tang Empire, and broadened the living space and strategic defense depth of the Tang Empire.

As the executors, the soldiers of the three armies of the Tang Empire have experienced the baptism of blood and fire. In particular, every pilot of the Datang Royal Navy Aircraft Carrier Battle Group participated in the attack on Fiji in actual combat, which is very important for their rapid accumulation of flight experience.

Immediately after the end of the war in Fiji, Zhang Meng ordered the town planning team to implement urban planning for the entire Fiji Islands, and at the same time quickly mobilized the three million Tang people in the Lautoka concession to participate in the construction of their new homes.

In the past, Zhang Meng personally planned and designed the four cities of Chang'an, Yanjing, Jinling and Daxing in the Tang Empire, but now he has taught his subordinates the methods of urban planning and set up the urban planning committee.

The committee is composed of hundreds of famous urban architects from all over Shijie, and under the leadership of Lin Huiyin, a famous urban architect from Chinese mainland, the unified planning of various cities in the Fiji Islands combines Eastern and Western cultures.

To this end, Zhang Meng once again allocated 1 billion Tang Yuan from Datang Bank for the construction of urban infrastructure and related military facilities on the Fiji Islands.

To buy the Fiji Islands, the Tang Empire needed to pay the British government 100 million pounds, and now it has to spend 1 billion Tang dollars to build Fiji. In order to train its troops, the Tang Army made a big effort on the Fiji Islands, and in the course of one month, the consumption of various weapons and ammunition and military expenditures amounted to 20 million Tang Yuan.

If you move your muscles and bones, you will get ten thousand taels of gold, Zhang Meng couldn't help but sigh.

War, I really can't afford to be hurt!

However, Zhang Meng is a person who has never suffered losses. If it weren't for the fear of offending the British, Zhang Meng would not have paid for the Fiji Islands.

However, Zhang Meng will not pay this huge amount of money, and when he agreed to buy it with the British for 100 million pounds, Zhang Meng also had ulterior motives.

According to the agreement between Tang and Ying, the 100 million pounds will be handed over to the British government within a year.

However, Zhang Meng did it on purpose, because he knew that in half a year, the British government would begin to depreciate the pound on a large scale under the pressure of the economic crisis, and the scale of the depreciation would reach 10 times. In other words, when Zhang Meng paid the British government another 100 million pounds a year later, its actual value was only equivalent to the current 10 million pounds.

But Zhang Meng could not even give 10 million pounds to the British government for nothing, because he had been waiting for the moment when the pound would depreciate.

A new round of money grabbing Jihua has been planned in Zhang Meng's heart, after reaching a deal with the British to buy the Fiji Islands, Zhang Meng claimed that he did not have so much money for the time being, so he officially applied for a loan from the British government.

Billion pounds in loans, if the British dare to lend, then in the future there will be a time for them to cry.

Thinking of this, Zhang Meng's face was full of evil smiles. (To be continued......)
