Jiang Cheng put down the chess pieces in his hand and asked, "How many?" ”

He Ankang replied: "According to reports from various places, our total income in the past few days is about 2.9 billion US dollars at the current exchange rate, of which 700 million US dollars have been invested by us in the futures market or stock market. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Situ Meitang stuck out his tongue, almost three billion US dollars, this is 1942, and the cost of the Iowa battleship is only about 120 million, that is to say, Jiang Cheng scraped off more than a dozen Iowa from Japan at once, Yaya's bah, who said that robbing the bank made money, this robbing the country is more profitable than robbing the bank.

Jiang Cheng was naturally excited in his heart, so he didn't want it, but he still showed honor and disgrace and said, "Well, it's good, it's a little less than I imagined, and it seems that other forces have also gained a lot of benefits." ”

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, He Ankang and Situ Meitang suddenly felt that the gap was out, and they were almost crazy with laughter when they saw this number, and Boss Jiang could only score a passing grade.

Jiang Cheng continued, "Making money is a skill, spending money is the same as a skill, and the ability to spend money is more difficult than the ability to make money, in the future, our job is to spend money, use this money to take out 500 million, tell Yu Lao, use this money to transfer all the young Chinese children in Nanyang who have China in their hearts and are reliable, and all of them under the age of 15 can be transferred to our archipelago!" Let those people sign me a contract! As long as you don't die, you can learn from death! Don't have them all, as long as they're specialized! Give me all the success in three years! ”

Jiang Cheng is not worried about anything about the future of China, but he is worried that there are not enough talents, anyway, the world war is about to start, most of the Chinese in this era are still concerned about the motherland, and the banana people have not yet become popular, which is also the reason why Jiang Cheng can use the Qinggang and other community organizations to open up the situation so quickly in the world, if there is not a national banner of righteousness floating, or Jiang Cheng is rich, the bigwigs of those associations will not be so willing to run for him, really when others are willing to be phoenix tails.

Situ Meitang nodded slightly in agreement, according to everyone's deduction, Japan is about to attack Nanyang, and those young and middle-aged overseas Chinese in Nanyang should prepare to participate in the war, those young people are the future, these people can't waste their youth.

After Jiang Cheng finished saying this, he continued, "Go to Canada and help me buy some British equipment, especially heavy weapons, just buy enough for 10,000 people, you don't need too much, the tank should be better, buy it and put it on your side, I will be useful when the time comes." After speaking, Jiang Cheng thought about it, and there was nothing to buy for the time being, so he said, "The rest of the money to buy military machinery and super-large equipment, futures and stocks should not be moved, as long as you keep speculating, I believe that those financial elites must have enough ability in this regard." ”

He Ankang was also very confident in this matter and did not say anything.

After using the short yen to sweep the Japanese foreign exchange economy, Jiang Cheng returned to the modern era, suddenly, an extremely strong pressure spread throughout Jiang Cheng's body, Jiang Cheng suddenly wanted to open his eyes, but found that he couldn't do it at all, Jiang Cheng hurriedly shouted in his mind, "Big bug!" Come out and see, what's going on? ”

Gallagher also noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Cheng's body, checked it and said, "How much space do you have now?" ”

Jiang Cheng immediately said, "The radius is more than forty-nine meters, I don't know the specifics, what's wrong?" ”

Gallagher immediately said, "This is about to reach the ninety-nine poles, the space-time sphere is going to evolve again, maybe you will soon be able to fulfill your mother's wish." ”

Mother? Jiang Cheng thought about it, and then he reacted and said that it was Sun Ning, and another pressure pressed up, and dark black blood beads slowly appeared on Jiang Cheng's skin, and he didn't know if it was good or bad.

Not to mention Jiang Cheng's suffering in traveling through time and space, in Spain in the time and space of the Republic of China, a large army has been deployed.

The fortress of Gibraltar, on the verge of breaking out.

-- Berlin

"That's what our Admiralty is planning." Erich Raeder looked at Hitler with some apprehension, this plan can be said to be extremely bold, generally speaking, as a conservative, he would not put forward such a plan, but now the situation is very different, first, the submarine faction within the Admiralty is getting stronger, and second, the balance of naval power between Britain and Germany at this time has changed subtly from history.

Historically, the German navy, anxious to achieve victory and gain Hitler's support for the navy, dispatched its ace Bismarck to attract the attention of the British army in order to attack the British caravan, and the ace Bismarck sank in battle. At the same time, the French Navy, which could have helped a lot, was almost wiped out by the British, the Italian Navy was trapped in the Mediterranean, the main force of the British Home Fleet had more than a dozen capital warships, and the only new battleship of the German Navy became an otaku, and the other only aircraft carrier was lying on the dock all the time, and only some battle cruisers and armored ships were really used, and it was impossible to fight head-on.

And the German submarines in this time and space were valued by Hitler very early, and the task of blockading Britain was even better, and even showed their strength in the French campaign, killing many of Britain's main warships, and naturally there was no need to rush out of the Atlantic Ocean in such a hurry, at this time, the main sea surface warships of the German Navy had two Bismarck-class battleships and two Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers, which were still far lower than the British Navy in terms of strength, but the French Navy had built two Richelieu-class battleships in the past two years. Germany could form a fleet of four super battleships, which was enough to fight the British. After all, although the British home fleet has been strengthened to ten battleships, most of them are old models, and the latest is only the George V-class battleship, but this kind of battleship has a full load displacement of only 43,000 tons, and is armed with 10 356 mm main guns, the main armor is 381 mm carburized steel armor, and the maximum speed is 29.25 knots.

The Bismarck battleship has a full load displacement of 50,900 tons, 8 380 mm main guns, and 320 mm main armor, not to see the thickness is not as good as George V, but the ST52 shipbuilding steel used in the German body, the KCn/A surface carburized hardened steel used in the broadside, main turret and command tower, its surface hardness, strength is very high, and the quality is excellent, almost 20% more defense than other steel of the same level, that is, it is almost equivalent to the 384 mm armor of the British battleship, And his main turret and other important positions are as thick as 380 mm, and this is not over, with the successful design experience of the German class armored ships, Bismarck also incorporated a large amount of armor into its hull construction. Among them, the main horizontal armor inclined part of 110-120 mm, the horizontal part of the main horizontal armor of 80-100 mm, the transverse internal armor of 20-60 mm and the longitudinal internal armor of 30 mm independently served as structural components. This makes it much more defensive, and even if it sinks last, the main part of it has not been broken or significantly distorted in history, which is clearly different from most warships in other countries. In terms of speed, due to Germany's advanced industrial technology, it can reach 32 knots at the earliest, in fact, this is also a helpless move, after all, if the German army is not as fast as the British army, it will be easy to be wiped out by the British army with numerical superiority. In other words, none of the British fleet at this time was comparable to the German Bismarck.

The French Richelieu-class battleships are not bad, with a full load displacement of 47,548 tons, equipped with two new quadruple 1935 45 times diameter 380 mm main turrets, arranged side by side on the foredeck, and their defensive power is also extremely amazing, the thickness of the turret frontal armor reaches 430 mm, and the maximum speed of power reaches 32 knots, which is also stronger than the British George V.

In the race for battleships, Britain has lagged behind, of course, if you count the Lion-class battleships still under construction in the British dockyard, it is another matter, but under the constant harassment of Germany, no one can say when this class of battleships will appear.

In response to such a situation, and the fact that Gibraltar is a place that Britain must save, Raeder's plan is very simple, first let the Italian fleet and the French African fleet and the German army besiege Gibraltar together, the Italian fleet and the French African fleet do not need to attack, as long as the sea is blocked, under the attack of Rommel's African Korps, the Egyptian fleet can no longer get out, not to mention that the island of Malta has also been in the hands of the Axis powers, ready to support.

In the face of the current situation of being blockaded in the Mediterranean, the British home fleet will definitely send troops to the rescue, and when the time comes, the fleet with four German and French super battleships can wait for work and attack the British home fleet, after all, the speed of the German and French fleets is faster than the British fleet, and it is completely possible to use the speed to leave the battlefield before the British reinforcements to ensure safety.

In fact, the German army also thought the same way in history, and the German army did not think that it would have the strength to have a decisive battle with the Royal Navy in a short period of time when designing the battleship, so it required the battleship to be able to fight and escape, if it were not for the fact that the Bismarck first leaked intelligence in history, and then was hit by 3 torpedoes, one of which hit the stern, causing the rudder angle of the Bismarck to be stuck at 15 degrees. The British fleet was not always able to catch it.

Hitler was obviously attracted by this plan, the risk was high, and he gambled on four super battleships in World War I, but Hitler was least afraid of risk, because he understood the truth that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, and once this plan succeeded, it could change the balance of maritime strength on the Western Front, provide strong conditions for the siege of Britain, and completely attract Stalin's attention on the Eastern Front.

Hitler agreed to this plan, and gave him an extremely interesting name - "Jutland Plan", Raeder knew Hitler's intentions as soon as he heard the name of this plan, and he stood straight and said, "Please rest assured, the navy will be disgraced!" ”

- Fort Gibraltar, April 10, 1942

Without any warning, the British soldiers guarding the fortress in Gibraltar saw in the morning light a dense dot of light suddenly appeared on their radar, which was also installed as an extremely important fortress.

"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack!! Prepare for war, this is not a drill! Prepare for battle! This is not a drill!! "The shrill sirens sounded throughout the fortress, and groups of military families and civilians living in the fortress hid in the fortress, and one by one anti-aircraft guns and fortress guns raised their muzzles, facing the direction of Spain, they had long known that a great enemy was coming.

Of course, at the airfield, quite a few planes also began to take off urgently, and when more than 20 British "Spitfire" fighters flew that day, the German fighters could already be faintly seen.

Holding the binoculars and looking at the commander-in-chief of the enemy's fortress, Lieutenant General Mitchell couldn't help frowning, the planes he saw were all Bf109, this kind of aircraft could put a lot of pressure on himself in the past few years, but now it is not good, and he knows that Germany already has a new type of fighters, and the most important thing is that the planes he saw are painted with Spanish logos, which means that these are Spanish planes.

The two armies began to exchange fire over the fortress, and the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns below found the lone Spanish plane and fired wildly, and the Spanish planes did not come much, only thirty or forty, and quickly retreated. Looking at the dozen or so Spanish planes that had been downed, Mitchell didn't mean to be as happy as the others, and he suddenly realized that these people might just be fire scouts.

In a wooded field about 35 kilometers from the fortress, a German officer listened to the order from the phone and said, "Zhu Yuan is unchanged, prepare to fire!" ”

RED FLAGS WERE ERECTED, A 20-METER-LONG CANNON BARREL WAS ERECTED, AND THERE WERE MORE THAN A DOZEN HUGE TRAIN GUNS ON THE RAILWAY IN THIS WOODLAND, AND THE TWO LARGEST ONES WERE STILL BEING INSTALLED, THESE TRAIN GUNS HAD EIGHT GERMAN K5 TRAIN GUNS, TWO K12 TRAIN GUNS, AND SEVEN OR EIGHT FRENCH TRAIN GUNS OF VARIOUS KINDS, IT CAN BE SAID THAT THE GERMAN ARMY PULLED MORE THAN HALF OF THE TRAIN GUNS HERE, WHICH MADE THE FIRST SALVO, THERE WERE 18 SHELLS OF MORE THAN 200MM CALIBER FELL INTO THE FORTRESS OF GIBRALTAR.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom !!!"

The sound of huge explosions can be faintly heard in the artillery positions of more than 40 kilometers, and more than a dozen groups of German fighters are patrolling in the sky at all times, and around them, there are hundreds of antiaircraft guns waiting for them.

The British soldiers in the fortress of Gibraltar only felt that the ground was shaking, and from the air it could be seen that there were more than a dozen large craters in the fortress, and everything around the crater was swept away by the shock wave, and a 340 mm shell fell on the airfield, and both planes and soldiers near the explosion point were blown up far away in an instant, and when the smoke cleared, only a large crater several meters deep remained, which was blown out by armor-piercing shells!

Lieutenant General Mitchell's face changed, just now he counted almost 20 explosion points, and they were all super-large caliber artillery, although these artillery pieces could not threaten the fortress itself, but the airfield outside was not defended, and if it continued to be blown up like this, the air force of the Gibraltar fortress would have to be the first to finish.
