Chapter 1395: Special Ammunition and Gold
The Rockefeller family and the Morgan family basically started in the oil industry, JP Morgan and Rockefeller Jr. have even seen the oil blowout, but JP Morgan was attracted by the loss of the Morgan family, and did not notice this, take a closer look, sure enough, not every shell is powerful, some shells come over, the power is amazing, can hit a building to pieces, but such a blow, for Manhattan, countless buildings, the threat is not great, However, some artillery pieces came over, and it seemed that the power was not great, but the impact force shook something, but the fire that ignited was like oil burning, which could not be extinguished, and even ran in the air to explode, and countless fire clusters exploded in the air, scattered on all sides, and ignited a raging fire.
"Shouldn't it?" Rose looked at it in amazement, and sure enough, he also found a difference, and he said a little overwhelmed: "What kind of weapon is this!" ”
What shocked Ross and many consortium leaders was nothing else, it was the special bomb that China had successfully experimented with, which was a kind of incendiary bomb, two forms, a white phosphorus bomb, and a coagulation ******, the former is a traditional incendiary bomb, white phosphorus can spontaneously combust with great power, as long as you find a safe area, so that he can be launched, it can be ******solidified, and it can be used in aerial bombs and artillery shells, which is completely different concepts in the chain, even if China has a suitable direction, It was also after also providing an excellent material that the biggest problem was solved, this material that insulates the temperature, as long as it remains stable, insulates combustion, ordinary shocks and the launch of shells, does not allow it to shatter, and only when the range is reached, the formulated device will explode under free fall, and then ignite.
It looks more complicated, but the power is huge, and it is the best choice to deal with land targets, but there are not many of them, although there are not many of them, but they are the most vicious, for the lethality of buildings, I don't know how much more powerful than high-explosive bombs, as long as they get on the building, it will inevitably burn non-stop, like maggots on tarsal bones, and it will not end until everything is burned out.
More and more neighborhoods are being set on fire, and although there is cement in this era, there are not many buildings on Wall Street that actually use reinforced concrete structures, and even if there are such buildings, white phosphorus bombs and solidified ****** will set them on fire.
The head of the consortium had a dark face, and they had already foreseen that they would suffer a big loss, and under the shelling, the loss of fixed buildings was huge, but seeing the weapons used by the other party, it was obvious that it was for the complete destruction of Wall Street. Countless cannonballs, flickering over the entire Wall Street, flames, resounding above such the largest financial center in the United States, huge buildings, once the jobs that everyone dreamed of, in the powerful attack money, not an opponent at all, one by one skyscrapers burst into flames, and countless precious materials were destroyed.
At a time when computers did not replace traditional calculation methods, these paper original files were very important, but in the face of white phosphorus bombs and solidification ******, these things were like fuel, all burned out. The blow to Wall Street is unprecedented, especially JP Morgan, he even has the consciousness of death, although the Morgan family has Standard Oil, but with the reduction of oil exploration in the United States, the focus has shifted to the banks, Wall Street is his focus, now, what to do.
"It's over!" A neatly dressed middle-aged man collapsed to the ground, but what he muttered in his mouth was a number, 66, 66, the person next to him didn't know what was wrong, a banker who was familiar with him changed his face, and said with some trembling: "Gold!" ”
Gold, that's right, that's the head of a large bank, among the banks all over the United States, ranked about 25th, his bank reserves are more than 50 tons, 66 may be the tonnage of gold reserves, just now, his bank headquarters was attacked, I thought it was just a house, who would have thought, another wave of blows came, incendiary bombs accounted for most of it, in the ruins of the wreckage, the flames kept going deep inside.
Gold is a hard metal, but also a large specific gravity into the into, generally not easy to be reacted, this is also the fundamental reason why gold and silver become the general equivalent, not easy to change into other, after thousands of years of immortality, but people familiar with chemistry know that gold also has a melting point, his melting point is only more than 1000 degrees, the melting point of iron is 1535 degrees, the melting point of steel is only 1515 degrees, are higher than gold, so burning, and even added the attack of incendiary agent, in this case, how can gold not melt.
That's right, gold is not like steel, it is not easy to oxidize, even if it is burned, but after the war, after burning, under a ruin, it becomes liquid, and the extremely heavy gold will run to where it will go, and it will not be fixed in one place, scattered and differentiated, mixed with other messy garbage, that is also a loss.
The collapsed middle-aged man knew this, so he collapsed, and the other bankers, including Morgan and Rockefeller Jr., they were also ugly-looking, as financiers, or people who have invested in the financial sector, they know very well how much gold reserves there are in the entire Wall Street at the moment, more than 600 tons.
"These yellow-skinned pigs, they're obviously aiming at the vault?" A banker said angrily that his bank had just been attacked, unlike other skyscrapers and buildings, it was just a round of artillery fire, and these attacks did not stop after a single attack, and after he completed the attack on the building, it seemed that the next thing was armor-piercing, after penetrating the bank's vault, or roughly penetrating, began a crazy incendiary bomb attack.
The bank vault is well defended, and it can be said that it is the safest place in the whole of New York, and even in the United States, but this security is aimed at ordinary people, and in the face of the army, especially the most powerful weapon of war in human history, it is simply paper paste when it is used incendiary bombs.
JP Morgan's face changed greatly, he also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and immediately ordered Ross: "Morgan Bank headquarters, at least 250 tons of gold are stored, I ask the army to rush to transport these gold immediately!" ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Morgan, but I can't carry out this order!" Ross refused almost without hesitation.
"Are you challenging the Morgans?" JP Morgan's face was calm, and there was a grim look in his eyes.
"I didn't challenge the Morgans!" Rose sighed and said, "No one went back?" ”
JP Morgan's face changed, he thought of the current situation, the entire Wall Street is immersed in artillery fire, and there is no way to find a place to start, in the face of the rage of the battleship and the raging fire, you let the American soldiers go and rush the gold back, no one will carry out the order, just like the torpedo boats that attacked before, the entire torpedo boat fleet, only 2 percent of the people are willing to carry it out, that is not a complete death, and his order is the result of nine deaths.
JP Morgan looked at Rose, but had nothing to say, at this time, the sneak attack fleet has lasted for 1 hour from the beginning of the attack to now, most of the combat objectives have been achieved, this is the final attack on New York, the target is of course the vaults of major banks, vaults and the like, this is the last small target, but the blow to New York is fatal.
More than 300 banks and nearly 700 financial institutions on the entire Wall Street have been hit differently, among which the most famous dozen or so large banks, including the banks of Morgan and the Rockefeller Group, are almost non-existent, and the main special ammunition is aimed at them, especially the vaults of the major banks, although they are all underground, strictly protected, countless shells are specifically aimed at the attack, the armor-piercing shells intensively plow the position of the bank, and the steel plates several meters thick, in front of the armor-piercing shells, are almost weak, and it is easy to penetrate more than one meter, After a few rounds, the bank will become full of holes, and the white phosphorus bomb and the solidification ****** can burn the steel, not to mention the gold stored in the steel by its own weight, the thermal conductivity of the metal is excellent, and the long-term combustion will make the yellow financial.
In the end, at least 180 banks' vaults were attacked, and all kinds of securities, calligraphy, paintings, and cultural relics were almost wiped out among the people, and even gold was hit on a large scale, with a loss of more than 30%.
Although the melting point of gold is very high, but in the face of the fire ignited by white phosphorus and solidification ******, part of the gold was melted in the flames, and then the liquid that melted out flowed sideways in the entire ruins, more than 10 million tons of garbage, integrated into hundreds of tons of gold, I am afraid that it is almost impossible to recall them all, and the amount of money spent is also astronomical.
The most important thing is that all the data, files, and some things of the banks and financial institutions have been devastated, perhaps the most recently, from the relationship between them, can also make judgments, supplement the files, but earlier, especially the savings information of the major banks, etc., there is no way to make up for it, this point, not only the banks know, even the depositors know that a nationwide run from the attack on New York started, on this day, among the more than 300 banks, In the end, less than one-twentieth of the banks were able to carry it, and even the 20th of the banks were also hit by a huge blow and their vitality was greatly damaged.
Compared with the banks, the stock market has been hit harder, the stock market itself is data, is the convergence of transaction calculations, but now, all the original files, after being devastated, it is impossible to restore the original state, and even because of various blows, the New York stock market was attacked after the market was closed for up to 2 months, and the market opened after another month, barely making up for the stocks, opened a long bear road, and continued, causing a far-reaching impact on the United States.
