Chapter 75, PY Trading

Japan, after Australia, has converged a lot, but the offensive in India is still non-stop, fighting in North Africa, trying to join the German army and open up Europe, Asia and Africa. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info And according to the speed of their march, this is not far away.

India was colonized by the British, breeding a large number of rebel forces, and now that Japan has come under the slogan of liberation, a large number of rebel troops have responded, and then, the British army in India has been embarrassed, on the one hand, it will be pursued by Japan, and on the other hand, it will be blocked by the rebel army.

Originally, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which played a huge role here, is now gone because of the bald head that stepped down. Without the expeditionary force and China's powerful infantry, South Asia was doomed. And Joseph Stilwell also failed to serve as the chief of staff of the Chinese theater and the commander of the U.S. forces in the China-Burma-India theater, but he was transferred to the British army, but the British army was not as obedient as the original Chinese army, so that Stilwell's head was bigger, and he quarreled with the British commander every day.

The British army completely disobeyed the command of this outsider, they only listened to the command from the country, Stilwell angrily reported the matter, and the American side negotiated with the British while preparing to send troops to South Asia, their American soldiers.

The U.S. military was abused by the Japanese army in South Asia and the German army in North Africa and Europe, and its strategy on land can be described as a mess, but at sea, they currently occupy a great advantage, and the Japanese navy is crippled by land and power, and the Japanese Combined Fleet, which originally claimed to be the king and hegemon in the Pacific Ocean, has been crippled by the American fleet. Now it is completely reversed, the Japanese fleet is not in charge, and the US fleet has been developing for nearly a year, and the major shipyards are running at full capacity, and the battleships seem to be launching dumplings.

At present, Japan can only temporarily avoid the edge, hold on to the island, do not send troops, and hide the combined fleet, and at the same time start to build warships with all its might.

And the resources they used to build warships came from two sources, one was plundered from South Asia, and the other was purchased.

At this point, who else sells resources to Japan? Needless to say, it must be Lu Qiang, and only if he has a "long-term" vision, he will sell resources to Japan and arm them.

Australia has nothing, that is, there is no shortage of minerals, and the minerals mined by Lu Qiang are sold to Japan, and then exchanged for various crafts from Japan.

During World War II, Japan's steel craftsmanship can be said to be the best in the world, so Lu Qiang exchanged all Japanese craftsmanship, many of their skills are not bad, and the antique gold they plundered from China can be exchanged. Anyway, Lu Qiang will not ask for yen, maybe he can buy some treasury bonds, pit Japan in the future, and become a big creditor of Japan, anyway, he is not afraid of money, it doesn't matter, he is here to be a-stirring stick, and Japan will not dare to hack his money.

Therefore, Lu Qiang alone bought hundreds of millions of treasury bonds from Japan in his name. Lu Qiang's strange approach made Japan both worried and afraid, and at the same time full of doubts, whether this baby had a bad brain, or did he have some intentions.

The second item may be the biggest, because they don't think that Lu Qiang is in a bad head, and it is extremely unsafe for an outsider to hold so many national bonds of their country, if they suddenly sell it that day, it will easily cause turmoil, and they are very poor in Japan now, and they can't afford to pay it.

Although they also knew that Lu Qiang had other intentions, they still bought it, because they couldn't resist the temptation of gold, and Lu Qiang also said that if he didn't sell it to him, he wouldn't be able to export the ore.

Well, being threatened like this, if you don't sell it, you have to sell it, and now it's even more certain that the other party has an intention, but they don't know what Lu Qiang wants to do, and Lu Qiang won't say that he will pit them in the future.

Buying Japan's national bonds, this is also Lu Qiang's decision after careful consideration, now Japan was beaten by Lu Qiang, so it is not miserable, if it goes on like this, it is beaten by the United States, it is estimated that it will not be able to stand surrender before the end of World War II, which is not in line with Lu Qiang's strategy.

Arming a powerful Japan against Europe and the United States is in line with his strategic intentions, of course, it can't be too strong, as long as it is shrouded in its own shadow.

Recently, Japan bought ore from several large freighters from him, and in exchange, Japan gave them a set of steel-making equipment.

Lu Qiang, a steelmaking plant, had one in Gansu, which was a joint venture with the Red Party at that time. Although this relationship is still maintained, the distance is too far, and the cost of transportation back and forth is higher than that of direct purchase, so Lu Qiang thought about building a few steel mills again.

The site of the factory was naturally chosen in a deserted place, and the Australian wasteland is sparsely populated everywhere, so you don't have to worry about air pollution or anything.

Get back to business! When the Japanese ships carrying ore sailed to the Philippine/Litsu/Binhai, a periscope stretched out from the rough water, looking at several cargo ships on the sea, and the Hinomaru hanging on the cargo ship was clearly visible.

"It's a Japanese ship." In the underwater submarine, a blond-haired hook-nosed foreigner said loudly.

"Are you going to sink them?" A foreigner said.

"Look again." The captain did not give the order to attack lightly.

The submarine was slender and pointed, with a white five-pointed star painted on its hull circled by a circle. Obviously, this is a U.S. submarine, and they don't know what they're doing here, but it's certain that it's coming for the Japanese army.

This submarine is a S-1 class submarine of the US military, in addition to a 4-inch deck gun, there are also necessary torpedo tubes, a total of four, carrying a total of 12 torpedoes, but two have been used, and the result is only to sink a Japanese merchant ship and empty one.

Because of the sinking of a merchant ship, the submarine was discovered, and the Japanese sent several destroyers to the area in an attempt to find him, but the captain of the S-1 class submarine was very 6, and he took this submarine to play Tibetan cats with the Japanese in the Philippines/Lili/Binhai, and the Japanese never found him.

But now, they have their eyes on these cargo ships transporting minerals.

"What is the waterline of these ships?"

"The waterline is deep, and the ship looks like it's loaded with a lot of cargo."

"Let me see!"

After seeing these merchant ships, the captain was not sure whether to fight or not, because once he fired, his position would definitely be exposed. But judging by these ships, there are a lot of things loaded, and it is quite possible that they are strategic resources.

"Immediately launch the torpedoes of the four launch tubes, and then immediately sit on the bottom." The captain looked at the Japanese cargo ship farther and farther away, and finally ordered.

"But this is the Philippines/Li/Binhailing, the underwater situation is unknown, I'm afraid..." Concerns have been raised.

The captain still insisted on firing the torpedoes, because he felt that the things on the ship had to be sunk.

To launch a torpedo, the submarine must correct the direction, after all, the torpedo tube of the submarine is fixed, and when calibrating, the entire submarine must move, and if you are not careful, it will deviate. (To be continued.) )
