Chapter 560: Cannons and Bullets

-- Berlin

Jiang Cheng looked at the news from all over the world, and said with a slight smile, "It seems that the time is almost up, but I don't know who will fight first between the Soviet Union and Germany and the United States and Japan." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chen Nan said beside him: "I think the Soviet Union and Germany will start a war in advance, Japan has just changed its prime minister, and I am afraid that it will not be able to launch a full-scale attack on the United States in half a year." ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "If Konoe is the prime minister, it may take a year or even no war, but if it is Hideki Tojo, I think it will be six months at most, or even shorter, you think about why he can get the support of Hirohito and the military department of Japan, it is nothing more than that he is a resolute war-starter, he is now in power, and he will naturally speed up the pace of the war.... Immediately send an order to the United States, Japan, Britain and other places, wait for my order, and as soon as my order arrives, immediately start the nuclear bomb operation! ”

Chen Nan immediately stood up and said, "Yes!" ”

Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "I'm going to leave for a while, and you continue to do a good job of intelligence work on the European side, especially in the two directions of Soviet-German and Gibraltar." ”

"My subordinates understand!" Chen Nan said respectfully.

"The fortress of Gibraltar is under extremely thick limestone rock and soil, according to our estimates, the thickest part of the top of the fortress may be more than 100 meters, and the thickness of the sides will be about thirty or forty meters, and his main fortress guns are also protected by extremely thick fortifications, and the roof of the fortress is all steel plates and cement solid roofs, up to ten meters thick, even if the half-ton aerial bomb is directly exploded on it, there will not be too much feeling. Führer, go this way. A businessman in a suit and leather shoes was visiting with Hitler, walking around a corner, Hitler suddenly felt that the front suddenly opened up, a huge steel monster appeared in front of him, this steel monster looked like a giant cannon from the outside, but this cannon is too big, I am afraid that there are forty or fifty meters before and after, his base looks like a huge tank, but the rails tell the world, this is a train gun that uses the movement of the rails, think about it, where is there a road that allows such a monster to walk freely.

"Oh, that's great! , this is the dream weapon of my medicine! Tell me about it! Hitler said impatiently.

The merchant came over and said, "My Führer, this cannon is a super cannon with a caliber of 800mm built by our Krupp, this cannon has a barrel of 32 meters alone, and in combat condition, the overall length is 53 meters, as you can see, this cannon is 12 meters high, when the General Staff gave us the parameters of the Gibraltar Fortress, we thought that only this cannon could be up to the burden of conquering him!" His shells are specially used to overcome reinforced concrete, a shell is more than 7 tons, we have experimented, even 30 meters thick reinforced concrete fortifications were also broken by one shot, what is his limit, I'm sorry, we don't know yet, this cannon was originally intended for Maginow, I thought he didn't have a chance to play. ”

Hitler smiled when he heard this, and he slapped his face and said, "Wow! This is a weapon that only a god deserves, I wonder if our cannon has a name? ”

The quartermaster next to him, Speer, said, "His original name was Gustav, we called him Dora, and he was a young lady. ”

Hitler's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said little by little on his tiptoes, "Very well, this is really a very sexy young lady, I can't wait for our English friends to see her, how many are there now?" ”

Krupp hurriedly said, "My Führer, because the production and production of this cannon is too complicated and difficult, although buy one get one free, the purchase price is enough to cost seven million marks, so there are only two. ”

Hitler nodded, indeed, the price of seven million marks is really not cheap, now Germany is constantly expanding its army, everywhere needs money, the cost of the Bismarck battleship is only 150 million marks, these two guns have removed one super battleship in the twentieth, it is really expensive, you must know that a cannon of this caliber is not a rifle, the barrel life is thousands of rounds, the life of the barrel of this giant cannon is only 100 rounds, after a hundred rounds, you have to buy a barrel, and his most expensive place is the barrel.

But looking at this mighty body, Hitler still gritted his teeth and said, "Six more doors!" Get together the eight gates! Jiang said that 8 is an auspicious number! We don't have just one Gibraltar to fight, and there's just too much of that. ”

Speer next to him was a little distressed about the money, he thought for a while and said, "Führer, in fact, we still have a lot of large-caliber artillery." ”

Hitler asked curiously, "Where?" ”

Speer replied, "O France! Führer, you have forgotten that the train guns of France, though not as powerful as our Miss Dora, are also extremely powerful. ”

Hitler suddenly remembered, nodded slowly, Speer is talking about the number of train guns produced by France in World War I and World War II, since the Napoleonic period, the French Army has always dominated the world with artillery, and the extreme train guns of artillery will naturally not be less, there are many giants with a caliber of more than 300MM in the French train guns, such as Schneider 340mm-MLE train guns, although they are a product of World War I, but the range is as high as 44 kilometers, which is huge, and these guns are too expensive, So whether it was before or now, the French government is trying to find a way to maintain them, but although there is maintenance, whether it can be used or not, and how long it can be used, it remains to be said.

But after all, this opened up a train of thought for Hitler, and Hitler hit Gibraltar to attract attention to his Barbarossa plan, so naturally he wished that the bigger the movement, the better, and immediately agreed and said, "Okay!" Immediately mobilize the train artillery units of Vichy France and prepare with our troops for the siege of Gibraltar. Then our young lady will have four more, Jiang also said that six is also an auspicious number. ”

Speer rolled his eyes, God, which one of the hell is an auspicious number, well, thirteen is certainly not anyway.

Soon, according to Hitler's order, more than fifteen divisions and twenty artillery regiments of German troops marched into Spain, the German army first took out five divisions and ten divisions of Spain for mixing, because it was an attack on the fortress, so there was only one armored division in the German army, the rest were infantry divisions, and ten French divisions were drawn to join, so that the troops preparing to besiege Gibraltar exceeded thirty-five divisions, nearly 500,000 people, and more than 500 planes of various types were deployed to cover various airports in Spain, At the same time, France and other places can support Spain at any time.

The fortress of Gibraltar also understood that a major war was imminent, and while constantly strengthening its defenses, it also began to ask London for help, asking London to send at least some battleships to Gibraltar, and also asked for an increase in the strength of the air force.

Churchill in London saw the distress telegram and only felt that it was really a dog, and North Africa was already like a mess of mud, because according to the agreement, Egypt was to be assigned to Italy, and Mussolini in Italy had nothing else to do recently, so he kept staring at Egypt, Rommel wanted to give everything, I have to say that Italy's military industry is really good, and Rommel is not like the fuel problem in history, so that large-scale offensives are constantly launched, as long as there is a loss, the Italian army will immediately make up for it, And the Italian army does not know where to get radar technology (a Chinese sneezed in the United States), so that several air force sneak attack plans have been in vain, and with naval sneak attacks, looking at the tiger-eyed Italian Navy and the German submarines that pop up from time to time to brush up on their presence, the British Mediterranean Fleet really does not have the courage to do so, you can only protect your logistics line, I protect mine, do not interfere with each other. After the reinforcement was slowly replenished, Rommel made a steady move, so that the British army discovered another side of this German veteran. Gradually, the nickname of the Desert Fox became the new Desert Storm - to describe Rommel's suffocation to the British troops.... Foreigners do like nicknames.

The Italian army also played a good combat power in the hands of Rommel, for such a war of attrition, the Italian army with the help of the German army has significantly improved a lot, at least compared with those Egyptian armies, the battle line continues to press eastward, and the balance of victory in the battle of El Alamein has gradually fallen to the German army.

If Rommel really stormed Egypt and Gibraltar was lost again, then Britain would really have to say goodbye to the Mediterranean.

Churchill had no choice but to send the main force of his fleet to Gibraltar to participate in the war, and unknowingly, a war centered on Gibraltar contained more and more troops.

Unlike history, in history, in order to rush out of the Atlantic, the German army sent a fleet led by the battleship Bismarck to attack, but after the intelligence leaked, it was ambushed by the British army, and sank in World War I. However, as in history, the Hindenburg-class battleship, the truly strongest battleship of the German Navy, was not built at all, but after all, it was still being built, and it was not disintegrated as in history.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he learned about this, if those four battleships were successfully launched, the German navy would really be a little scary - although there were still no aircraft carriers.

The flames of war in Europe seem to be about to ignite again, and on the other side of the world, a different kind of war has begun before Gibraltar begins.

Jiang Cheng flipped through the account book for a while, put it aside and said, "Tell me, how many bullets do we have?" ”

The longer he stays in the upper position, the more Jiang Cheng likes to be able to directly report the number to his subordinates, in fact, this is the same for many superiors, so if someone wants to climb up, this ability is a must.

He Ankang immediately said, "We now have a total of 12 large financial companies, and there are more than 300 leather bag companies that can be thrown out at any time to block bullets, and the yen we can use now has a total of 12.8 billion book funds, and the paper currency plus the owner brought this time has a total of more than 40 billion, and we can use more than 10,000 people to remove the Chinese, most of them are some gang members, and the mafia also cooperates with us, of course, they don't know who we are. In the United Kingdom, we have also laid out more than 30 companies, large and small, with a Japanese yen book of more than 2 billion, paper currency of 20 billion, and Hong Kong we have more than 8 billion, mainly because of the bureau set up by Boss Huang over there, which can be detonated at any time, and we also have a large number of strategic material futures in our hands, which can be speculated at a high price at any time. ”

Historically, the yen was $100 to $309 against the U.S. dollar in 1936, and $100 to 426 yen when the war against the United States was waged to $100 to 477 yen when eating mushrooms. The depreciation is minimal. But in this plane, everything will be different.

After listening to He Ankang's report, Jiang Cheng calculated that the bullets in his hand could be used in finance for more than 15 billion, which was already the military expenditure of the Japanese army last year, and the paper currency exceeded Japan's financial revenue last year.

When all these bullets are fired, the expressions of the Japanese and American governments will be very good.

Jiang Cheng looked at the calendar, it was April 4, 1942, Jiang Cheng said, "Today is Saturday, let everyone get ready, Monday is the time for us to go to war, I believe that this will be a battle that will go down in history!" ”

He Ankang nodded excitedly and said that they had been preparing for this day for too long.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "By the way, tell the people below that if you are caught, you must know how to answer, and don't provoke the fire on us!" ”

"Yes!" He Ankang nodded and said.

Situ Meitang next to him smiled and said to Jiang Cheng, "Little Jiang, it's finally this day, how long will it take for the United States and Japan to fight after you make this move?" ”

Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "It won't be more than three months, I got the information, the Japanese army has already transferred a part of the naval aviation troops are training something, if I guess correctly, they are training the way to sneak attack the United States, and the Japanese army has been training in Vietnam, and the Kwantung Army is also moving again and again, but the troops in the pass are surprisingly quiet, whether it is North China or South China, our troops can't bear the result of their temptation, and the wind and rain are coming." ”

Situ Meitang nodded and stopped talking.
