Chapter 201: Israel

On the eastern coastline, the Panamanian fleet also launched an operation, killing the northern warships blocking the port according to the information provided by the Southern Army, with the white-class cruisers as the main force. The King-class heavy cruisers, on the other hand, attacked and sailed along the eastern coastline without scruples and with murderous vigour.

Wherever the king-class heavy cruiser Wang Shi went, the warships of the Northern Navy retreated one after another, and most of them hid on the shallow shore, relying on the inaccessible places of the king-class to cover themselves. The northern sea lanes were reversed and blocked, and the small python and the big python arrived.

Newspapers all over the United States reported the invincibility of the North wherever the East India Company navy went, and even if a brave warship dared to engage in battle, the end was miserable.

Lincoln summed up the intelligence coming from the Navy, and the result: the U.S. Navy was in collapse. Because the opposing warships were so fast, the U.S. Navy could not even effectively assemble for a desperate fight. Needless to say, there are only three King-class cruisers in the north, and the U.S. Navy can fight to the death with numbers. But the inability to assemble effectively dashed the Navy's last hopes.

When three heavy cruisers appeared in the port of New York, the largest port in the United States, the American financial market was in a panic. Up to this time, the East India Company warships had not attacked a single civilian ship, and the United States took the initiative to order a halt to the naval blockade of merchant ships in order to avoid retaliation from the East India Company Navy.

The economy of the South, which had received a waterway transfusion, was rapidly recovering and the United States had fallen into an embarrassing quagmire in the war for reunification. The United States is a good student of Britain and attaches great importance to business, unlike France, which was blockaded by the British Navy during the Napoleonic period, but they continue to dominate the continent like no one.

And when the King-class cruiser arrived in New York, the American warships in hiding followed the north, gathering as they went, intending to make a final effort with the strength of the country. The Forsaken pinned down the Pacific Fleet, the White-class cruisers pinned down the blockade fleet in the Gulf of Mexico, and the final Armageddon was only cobbled together by the U.S. Navy with only 42 battleships, including the USS Watcher. The Southern Navy's request to help in the war effort was politely denied, and the Panamanian fleet wanted to use three heavy cruisers against 42 U.S. Navy warships.

The eyes of the world were focused on the decisive battle in New York Harbor, and American newspapers believed that the total annihilation of the French Mediterranean Fleet was due to a treacherous scheme, so things were not as bad as imagined. Now the King-class heavy cruiser is recognized as the world's No. 1 warship, but with more than ten times the strength of the force, there will be no chance at all, right?

The clever Americans attacked only at dusk, trying to hide their tracks in the darkness of the night and draw them into a big scuffle in order to fish in troubled waters.

New York Harbor is known as one of the few natural harbors in the world, but the draft is only about 5 meters, and the King-class cruisers cannot dock when they are fully loaded, so they can only anchor outside the harbor.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win a hundred battles, and the US military already knows the terrible range of the King-class cruisers, and dares to attack head-on, you know that they have something to rely on. Sure enough, it was modesty that made people progress, and pride, and the commander of the Panamanian fleet ignored the fact that his great might had been exposed, and thought that he could crush the enemy with ease.

It was not early, but the line of sight was still good, and the Philip Larai was the first to encounter the swarming enemy warships, and decisively opened fire from 10 kilometers away. The self-confidence of the Panamanian fleet reached its highest point.

In the short distance of 10 kilometers to 5 kilometers, the number of US ships sunk by the huge artillery reached 8, and the heroic American sailors were still approaching. The Feuepharai decided to fight as it went, and the turret could rotate 360 degrees anyway, and the enemy was still dead.

Just as the Feueprai turned around and wanted to leave, something terrible happened, a huge torpedo came out of nowhere and slammed into the side of the Feueprai, thanks to the 10,000-ton ship, which would have flipped it on its side. This heavy blow injured the sailors on the ship, and the screams were repeated, and even the captain hit a big bag.

The captain of the ship shouted after he was a little sober: "How can the other party come by dropping torpedoes from a distance of 5 kilometers?" ”

The crew was stunned, and no one could answer his questions. The commander of Wang's fleet was watching the battle, and was surprised to find that the Feeperai had been blown up, and hurriedly commanded to come to the rescue.

The Feeperai, which was hit by a mysterious torpedo, was obviously underpowered, and after making a turn, it was chased closer and closer by the US fleet. On the way to Faxia's aid, Wang received a telegram from the Fei Epharai saying that the other side might have a submarine and carry a large torpedo large enough to threaten the 10,000-ton ship. The commander was taken aback and hurriedly ordered the battleship to divert and sail to the open sea at a high speed to avoid being hunted by submarines.

The Feueprai had been chased to a distance of a kilometer, but fortunately, the opponent could only fire from the side of the gun, and this swing, dozens of solid cannon shells could not penetrate the armor of the King-class heavy cruisers, which greatly boosted the morale of the Feueprai, resisted with a nimble turret, and continued to sink the American battleship. The U.S. ship suffered heavy casualties. It wasn't until the ghostly submarine was in power again that the big torpedo hit the target again, this time on the same side as the last time, accelerating the intake and sinking of the Feep Porai, stalling even more severely.

The captain remembered the boss's teachings - people are more important than ships, and in desperation, he gave the order to abandon the ship and board the lifeboat, and let the battleship sail to the open sea, making it more difficult for the other side to salvage.

In the process of rescuing his comrades, the opponent's submarine came to make trouble, released a large torpedo, and forced away Wang Zaifaxia, and finally the sky became dark, and the two invincible heavy cruisers could only withdraw from the battlefield.

After confirming that the other party had slipped away, the US commander burst into a miserable laugh: "We won!" At this time, 18 U.S. ships were sunk, and the sea was full of wandering drifters. The lifeboats of these drifters were lit with signal lights, and for a while, the lights were bright at night, which was very beautiful. In order to save people, the warring parties reached an agreement and a temporary ceasefire.

At first, everyone was just trying to save their comrades, but sometimes they ran into each other, and by the way, they also picked up the enemy on the ship, and again reached an agreement to exchange prisoners later.

In order to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking, the East India Company only sent the king to fish for people on the Parliament, and a large lamp illuminated the flag of the vampire duke, and the nearby drifters saw it really and rowed towards their warship with all their might. The work of clearing the battlefield was busy until dawn the next day, when an order was received from the headquarters to retreat. The king shook hands and said goodbye after exchanging prisoners of war with the other side on the Parliament.

The French eagerly published the battle results, because the two submarines of the great battle were provided by them, and played a key role in the sinking of the Feuepray, proving that the legendary King-class heavy cruiser that could sweep the world with just one was not unbreakable, and now Napoleon III needed such a crushing victory too much, otherwise his throne would not be secure. In the Crimean War, the Russian Navy began to develop the world's first submarines in order to counter the powerful Anglo-French combined fleet, but it did not play much use, this concept was learned by the French, and carried out a secret submarine construction program, they did not have time to participate in the battle of Windsor Harbor, but caught up with the Battle of New York Harbor, in order to contain the East India Company to the north.

This time the casualties were much fewer, although more than 2,000 American sailors fell into the sea, they were mentally prepared, they all wore lifebuoys, and in the end the two sides made a friendly truce.

After the battle, the U.S. Navy basically withdrew all the warships north of the Hamptons, because it was pointless to fight the warships without submarine escort, and the Anaconda project was declared bankrupt. Subsequently, the NATO countries, knowing full well that it would not be possible to outcompete each other in building warships in a short period of time, all played a desperate role in the development of submarines, in which the technology of the French played a major role.

Military analysts in the aftermath of the Battle of New York believed that the war had now reached a stalemate, that the Northern Army could no longer block the southern shipping lanes, and that the East India Company was wary of the opposing submarines. The ** in the south is almost a foregone conclusion, they have received war materials from the sea, the economy has improved, and the combat effectiveness is stronger.

The North will not give up lightly, because in addition to the official states with large populations, the United States also has Washington State, Dakota, Nevada, Utah, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico and other territories that do not clearly belong to the North or the South, and the combined area of these seven states is about equal to the South or the North, which is a national interest that must be contested. The outcome of the war will determine the future of these states.

Many people think of Lincoln as a hero for the liberation of the Negro, but there is one thing that is intriguing -- when he first met with the leaders of the Negro community in American history, they all went back to Africa, or to Central America, where the climate was right for you. The Negro community rejected Lincoln's proposal.

Central America was really hot, and the Japanese occupying Granada couldn't stand it a little and strongly said that this place was really not for us. Downing had no choice but to consider transferring a large number of Indians to change the guard, while the Japanese moved to Los Angeles, which had just been occupied. It seems that in the future, the heavy responsibility of seizing the rainforest will have to fall on the Indian brothers, and the Japanese themselves will collapse from heat before the war is finished, and it is impossible to give them air conditioning treatment in the war, so will there still be fighting spirit?

Racist ideas are really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not only blacks, but also the impression of unscrupulous Jewish profiteers is the same as always, and Lincoln's association with the black community has just ended, and another Jewish community has come to protest against him, because General Grant of the Northern Army signed General Order No. 11, which will expel all Jews in his war zone (Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky) because of the suspicion that they are involved in the black market of cotton with the South.

At this time, Marx, who presided over the administration of Windsor Harbour, severely criticized Grant's general order and took the opportunity to announce that he would establish a model of internationalism, and that Jerusalem would be planned as a Jewish settlement, and that the deported Jews could go to Jerusalem to find a new homeland. The new state, of course, had Downing's consent, and they had already planned it, taking advantage of the fact that the East India Company had already taken control of the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf coast, and declared the establishment of a state with the name "Israel", which means "wrestler with God" in Hebrew, to show that it would be an atheistic, religious, and non-ethnic persecution place.

Israel's territory is equivalent to present-day southern Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, the entire area south of Baghdad (including Basra), southern Iran (along the Persian Gulf coast), Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Oman, and Yemen.

Israel became the first country in the world to be governed by the Workers' Party, but it also has a House of Lords with checks and balances to protect capital and property rights and avoid the **** of the majority. The atheist state promised no religious persecution, but adopted a policy of forced disarmament of all religious elements, and only secularized believers had the right to vote and to be elected. What kind of emirates are actively working to wage an armed struggle against the new government, their weapons are backward, and the results can be imagined. This is equivalent to another new battlefield for the Windsor consortium. France and Russia are strongly condemning Israel in the name of protecting religious freedom.

In the process of the establishment of the state of Israel, Marx came up with the way of state capitalism to solve the contradiction between capitalists and workers. This is an idea to encourage enterprises to be run in the form of state capital. Downing asked him a few questions:

How to solve the problem of labor efficiency brought about by the return of capital to the public? It is a person who can imagine that if everything is national, employees from the top to the middle and bottom are not motivated to improve the efficiency of the enterprise.

A: Private companies are also facing this dilemma, except for the boss, all middle and low-level employees do not see the company as their own business. (http://.)。 The only advantage of private enterprises is that the boss has a lot of power, so they can adjust personnel and treatment at will, and state-owned enterprises can also use this method to improve efficiency.

Tang Ning thought about it, too, as if state-invested enterprises seem to be no different from private enterprises in the case of separation of property rights and operations.

Question: How to solve the problem that when state-owned enterprises have a government background and compete with private enterprises, they involuntarily adopt various policy measures to crack down on private competitors and even worsen the investment environment?

A: The House of Lords is responsible for vetoing bills that restrict competition.

All in all, this is a test field for Chief Engineer Ma to test his theory that the greater the share of national capital in the total capital, the more developed the productive forces will be. Given that the Arabian Peninsula has no other economic prospects than oil, let him give it a try.

To be honest, now the Windsor Consortium is like a ball company on the earth, with high wages, high benefits, and high status of workers, and they rarely dismiss workers, at most, they see that their ability is not good and adjusted to junior positions.
