"Where did the Germans bomb them?"

Although there were some surprises, Yang Chao was still a little curious, not knowing where the Germans would bomb, New York? Washington?

Yang Chao knew that the Germans bombed Britain a lot, basically they went to London at night to take a stroll, I don't know how many bombs were dropped, and the British civilians killed were less than 100, which only played a little intimidating role. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"They blew up Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh and Cleveland!"

Zhang Nian read it out in one breath.

"Cleveland? Rockefeller's oil fields! ”

It's not surprising that the Germans bombed Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, because this is a port city, Washington is the capital, and it makes as much political sense as bombing London, and it is because it is the center of steel, but Cleveland, I'm afraid only the oil fields are valuable places.

"No, they blew up oil refineries in the United States."

Zhang Nian corrected that Cleveland's refining status is higher than that of oil extraction.

"It seems that the Germans are not stupid, but they are killing Rockefeller."

Rockefeller lived longer than all his contemporaries of the American tycoons, when he was born, the whole world was still lit with candles, and when he died, everyone entered the age of electric lights, lived to be 98 years old, let the kerosene lamp era reach its peak in his hands, and then went into decline while he was alive.

Although the Rockefeller Standard Oil Company was dismembered by the U.S. government, the wealth of the Rockefeller family has not decreased, on the contrary, according to the current stock price, it has increased a lot.

Because the Rockefeller family is no longer an oil business family, it has long evolved into a huge consortium, they have many industries with the City Bank of New York (Citibank) as the core, oil is just one of the cores, although the US government dismembered the oil trust, but dozens of oil companies that have been split have a high share of Rockefeller's shares, and at the same time carry out capital operations through Citibank, so they have not been dismantled, but only dissolved in form, but not in essence.

American politicians don't want to push the consortium all at once, obviously they only intend to achieve a small procedural victory at present, and at the same time, it also shows that Rockefeller still has a very strong influence in the United States, and the Germans bombed his oil fields, will he give up?

Obviously not, although Rockefeller is a philanthropist, a devout Christian, and also a tough villain, his family history is bloody, not only controlling the oil exploitation of the United States, but also the oil exploitation of neighboring Mexico under his control, before the First World War in the 1890s, in order to compete for oil in Venezuela and other places, the Rockefeller Group almost pushed the US government to go to war with the British who were plotting here.

After World War I, the British saw the great strategic importance of oil, and forcefully squeezed into the oil industry in Central and North America, and the U.S. government even secretly formulated a military plan to attack Britain.

The kind of scene in the novel, where you occupy the oil fields in Mexico and sell them to Rockefeller, doesn't happen at all, because Rockefeller doesn't buy them with money, he buys them with bullets, gangsters and warlords, and for oil he can overthrow the Mexican government and prop up the warlords to power.

And now the Germans moved the oil of Rockefeller......

Sure enough, in the afternoon of the same day, news came from the United States, and the Americans were angry, or the American consortium was angry.

The U.S. government can slowly sharpen a consortium like Rockefeller through political procedures, laws, and other soft knives, but in the face of an angry old Rockefeller, even the president of the United States will probably have a headache.

Newspapers in the United States have condemned the government and condemned President Wilson, and members of Congress have also begun to express various dissatisfaction with the president, and for a time Wilson was anxious.

The way the Germans bombed the United States was also exposed.

The airship industry of the Germans has always been second only to China, they themselves are equipped with 3000 airships, but the value of airships has never been seen in the war, so it has not increased, the Germans have not increased, and Britain, France, the United States and other countries also do not pay attention to airships, because airships are too expensive, he prefers to use cheap planes.

Anyway, airships are just bluffing, the biggest role at present is just reconnaissance, and the aircraft can also complete this task, as for bombing, if it is useful, the aircraft can also be competent, especially the United States, their aircraft industry is very developed, Wright Company, Martin Company, Boeing Company and other giants have already begun to emerge and emerge in the war.

Therefore, in addition to China, other countries equipped aircraft on a large scale in World War I and left the airship aside, just like the original history, which made Yang Chao quite a pity.

However, this time the Germans whimsically bombed the United States, presumably Britain, France, the United States and other countries will also pay attention to strategic bombing, originally it was World War II that began strategic bombing tactics, I am afraid that they will appear in advance in World War I.

But if you want to bomb, you can't rely on the current bombers, before the appearance of the air fortress, strategic bombing can only be an idea, if you want to play strategic bombing, then you can only choose airships.

"Did anyone ask us to buy an airship? Ask Soden. ”

Yang Chao asked Zhang Nian to ask Earl Soden, the manager of the airship company.

"Not yet."

Zhang Nian asked and said.

"They will."

Yang Chao was convinced.

The airship order had not yet arrived, and the Germans had come to the airship.

"It's miserable!"

Looking at the pictures after being bombed by airships, Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh, but the Americans are too relieved to the Atlantic, this air defense capability is too poor, and almost all major industrial cities are undefended.

As a result, the Germans were able to take pictures while bombing, and even gave Yang Chao a roll of film film.

"President, the Germans gave you this thing, I'm afraid it means something else."

Film reels and photographs were sent back by airships returning from Poland.

"Haha, the Germans are seducing me, I guess it won't be long before their ambassador should come to the door."

In fact, at this time, the German ambassador had already submitted a request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet with the Chinese president.

Yang Chao was very cooperative in receiving Ambassador Hahausen.

Hahausen was confident that they had destroyed the United States.

"Destroy America in one bombing?"

Yang Chao laughed.

Hahausen said: "At this time, the German airship has come to the United States for the second time, and I hope that it will not be long before His Excellency the President will get accurate information." ”

"You bombed America again? This is not very good, this kind of large-scale bombing, but it will kill and injure too many civilians! ”

Yang Chao pretended to be surprised, forgetting that when he ordered the bombing of Tokyo, he did not take into account the Japanese civilians.

Hahausen looked regretful: "This is also something that cannot be helped. If the U.S. government does not recognize their mistakes and colonization continues, we can only sober them up. ”

Yang Chao shook his head and sighed.

There is no doubt about Germany's ability to bomb the United States, their airship technology can at least reach the level of the third generation of Zeppelin, and there is no problem with a load capacity of 300 tons, and the power of their airships is generally about 1000 horsepower, and the fuel consumption per hour is 200 kilograms, and it takes an average of 50 hours to fly to the United States, but the fuel consumption is only 10 tons, and the maximum is 20 tons back and forth, which is basically not used, because it is a westerly wind belt on the return trip.

The only puzzling thing is that the Germans, starting from Belgium, would pass through the Anglo-French controlled zone anyway, how did they fly there?

Even if the Germans flew at night, and Britain and France had naval escorts, it was impossible for them not to issue German airships to the United States, and they kept silent.

"Britain and France hate the United States and do not die, or they hate the United States not enough!"

Looking at the triumphant Hahausen, Yang Chao had already thought through in his heart, and he knew that the good days of the Germans were coming to an end.

"Haha, my country is a free and peaceful country, and I really regret what happened to Germany and the United States. However, I would like to advise your country that this kind of bombardment cannot last. And you better be ready for the revenge of the Americans. ”

Hahausen was far from being as relaxed as he appeared, and he nodded lightly, not receiving Yang Chao's expression that he was disappointed.

He just wants the Chinese to enter the war as soon as possible, as long as the Chinese enter the war, it will not take a month to destroy the tsar's army, and then a steady stream of Chinese soldiers can enter the European trenches, even if the Germans do not think that the combat effectiveness of Chinese soldiers can be compared with the Germans, but at least it can be compared with the armies of Italy and Austria-Hungary, as long as there is the level of the Austro-Hungarian army, plus an endless number, then it will be easy to defeat France, and after France surrenders, the British can only choose to submit.

But Yang Chao once again said that China is a peaceful country, and Yang Chao said that if it was peaceful, then it would be impossible for their foreign ministry to make a war promise, although they had never broken off negotiations with the Germans.

However, they still did not believe that Germany would be threatened by the air of other countries.

"Our country has the most powerful number of airships, the aircraft industry is quite developed, and the German skies will not be allowed to be invaded by others."

Hahausen once again expressed his confidence, which was true confidence, that the British and French air forces had not been able to invade German airspace, at least not to bomb German railways and factories.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The aircraft industry of Britain and France is not good, but the United States is quite powerful. The number of airships, that thing is too material-intensive, and the aluminum alloy industry of the Germans is not comparable to that of the United States, not even half of that of the United States. ”

At the end of the point, Yang Chao stopped talking and continued.

Aluminum alloy thing, not has the resources, there is technology can be easily expanded, that thing is too power-consuming, although the German's power industry is developed, can not all be used for electrolytic aluminum, so it is impossible to produce too much aluminum alloy.

But the United States is different, the annual power generation of Americans has reached 40 billion kWh, and the production of a ton of aluminum consumes more than 10,000 kWh. The aluminum industry in the United States has reached 200,000 tons, and the output of aluminum alloy is also 50,000 tons.

"Your country's aluminum alloy industry is the largest, right?"

Hahausen disagreed. (To be continued.) )
