Boss Yang's account review work was soon over, and the consortium's enterprises were doing well for most of the year, that is, Amazon Mining was still in the investment stage, and under the protection of Ambrera's mercenaries, his mining engineers had obtained the mining rights of several gem mines in Brazil, especially the tourmaline mine in Paraíba, which was now preparing for large-scale mining.

Although at this time, Brazil's gem industry has also been controlled by major mining giants, but Amazon mining wants to intervene, there will be no resistance, the reason is very simple, gemstone-rich Brazil is also rich in cholera, malaria and other terrible diseases, and JY sold sulfonamides, pennyin is a life-saving thing.

These things are more effective than mercenaries there, according to Yang Feng's request, Amazon Mining also gave these medicines to the indigenous people for free while prospecting, who dares to embarrass Amazon Mining, it is estimated that those cannibals will barbecue him.

Moreover, Yang Feng also publicly announced that Yanhuang Laboratory is developing an oral cholera vaccine, which will be developed soon, and then mankind will be completely rid of this vicious disease, and in this case, the Brazilian government will have to be even more careful to serve him.

Among the other companies, the Quantum Fund has just received a $5 million investment from Uncle Guo, and with the gains in the U.S. stock market during this time, the total value of funds and stocks that can be controlled is close to $80 million.

"The next investment focus should be shifted to the US military industrial enterprises, especially the army weapons manufacturing industry and shipbuilding industry, and we must be prepared for long-term investment." Boss Yang said in a wise tone, just like the god of stocks.

At present, the US Army's weapons manufacturing and shipbuilding industries are in a difficult situation, with a total of 200,000 US Army members, and the size of the army under Yang Feng's own control is larger than that of the US Army.

As for shipbuilding, it is even more pitiful, a cruiser can be built for several years. For what? Is the U.S. underproductive? How is it possible, during World War II, they launched an average of one fleet aircraft carrier a month, and the escort aircraft carriers built a jaw-dropping hundred.

The reason is actually very simple, after they finished building it in a year, the shipyard had to go without work for several years, so they had to grind there like embroidery, so that the cost of a heavy cruiser was almost as good as that of someone else's battleship.

Therefore, this is the right time to copy the bottom by yourself. Yang Feng has prepared a list of these arsenals and shipyards, and when the time comes, Lu Yongnian can buy stocks according to this list.

"The Spanish Civil War wasn't going to have such a big impact, was it? Besides, now that there is a bill for neutrality, it is impossible for the Americans to openly sell arms to Spain. Lu Yongnian said with some doubts.

"Spain? That's just an appetizer! Yang Feng said with a sneer like a magic stick.

"You're saying there's a possibility of a World War?" Lu Yongnian couldn't help but feel excited, and immediately understood what this product was waiting for.

"Germany is massively expanding its military, a major war in Europe is inevitable, Spain is just a prelude, and I dare to assert that in two or three years at most, Europe will be as full of smoke as it was twenty years ago." Boss Yang continued to charge the magic stick.

"Also, you pay attention to see if there are any Mexican shipping companies that can be acquired during this time. The Spanish Civil War was a good opportunity to make a fortune, and the U.S. neutrality bill would not prohibit us from selling arms to Mexico, but we should try to keep it as secretive as possible, and I don't want the outside world to know that I am selling arms. The thing went on to say.

Lu Yongnian nodded, this matter is not difficult to do, now there are American companies controlled by the Quantum Fund, just find a business in Mexico, and they can come forward to acquire it. It is also not difficult to find such a small shipping company, which sells arms rather than ore and crude oil. A small boat of several thousand tons or even hundreds of tons is enough.

For the time being, Yang Feng is not ready to sell weapons to Franco, he has a mustache and Mussolini behind his back, and there will be no shortage of weapons in his hands, but on the side of the Nationalist Army, this is much worse, Britain, France and the United States do not want to offend the mustache, only Joseph generously helps them. Of course they need to exchange gold, hundreds of tons of gold! Just thinking about it makes people drool.

In addition to the quantum fund, JY naturally goes without saying, making money is like printing money, and the Cherokee company has sold more than 20,000 Wranglers in the past six months. As a high-end brand, Land Rover has also sold more than 2,000 units, as well as 3,000 ten-wheeled trucks, which is very good for a small car rookie in the current economic situation.

"Can such a car be made?" In the new headquarters building of the Cherokee Company, Yang Feng handed a graffiti of his own to Rohart.

Now the Cherokee also has its own car research and development team, according to the requirements of Boss Yang, only make off-road vehicles and trucks, and do not mix with other aspects, after all, the current United States wants to challenge GM and Ford, it is undoubtedly digging its own grave.

"Oh my God! This ......" Lockhart was stunned by Boss Yang's blueprints, and their imaginative brains couldn't imagine that a car could be made like this.

This is a Lamborghini outline.

"This car is my gift to Miss Carmen Cansino, so don't care about the cost, just make it possible, use the most powerful engine you can use, the best craftsmanship, the most luxurious interior, in short, make this car a luxury car that only the richest of the best can afford." Boss Yang said that he drew more than a dozen pictures of the appearance of sports cars last night, and the goblin took a fancy to this one.

Since this is the case, there is nothing to say, even if Boss Yang designs it strangely, it must be made for him.

After inspecting the car factory in Detroit, Yang Feng took his little lover and flew to Atlanta on a special plane prepared for him by Panda Air, and now Panda Air has four routes, one via London, Paris to Rome, one via Berlin to Moscow, and one from New York to Los Angeles, from New York to Seattle, and from New York to Rio de Janeiro via Havana is waiting for approval.

The windfall profits of the transatlantic air transport industry are attracting the salivation of more and more American airlines, but at least no one has been able to intervene in the short term, because Lockheed will not deliver Hercules passenger planes to other American airlines other than Panda this year, at least this year, and can really put them into operation except Hercules. There is only the Douglas DC3 that has just started to be used, but the maximum range of 3,400 kilometers makes it difficult to fly passengers from New York to the Azores.

Yang Feng went to Atlanta to attend the launch ceremony of "Gone with the Wind", as the second novel published by the People's Publishing House after A Song of Ice and Fire, this book has already done enough publicity. and set the launch ceremony in Atlanta, and even held an event where Yang Feng and Mitchell co-signed and sold books.

"Mrs. Marsh, you look so charming today." Yang Feng took Mitchell's hand and said.

"Mr. Yang, Miss Carmen Cancino is the real charmer!" Mitchell looked at Yang Feng's side, wearing a set of classical long skirts, Margaret said.

"You're not going to have Miss Carmen Cansino play Scarlett, are you?" Then she asked again, and the little goblin's face immediately looked unpleasant.

"No, no, how is it possible, her temperament is completely different from that of Scarlett. And when you call her again, you can call her Rita Hayworth, which is her stage name that she just changed. Yang Feng said that letting the goblin play Hao Scarlett would ruin this image, although she herself wanted to play this role very much.

The book signing event is naturally unprecedented, how have I ever seen this in these years, coupled with the celebrity effect of Boss Yang and the little goblin, the curiosity that has been aroused by all kinds of hype. There was also a focus on the novel's historical setting, which made the citizens of Atlanta quickly snap up the 5,000 sets of novels they had prepared. Yang Feng's paws trembled when he was tired.

Towards the end of the event, the accompanying representatives of Fox officially announced that Fox had bought the film adaptation rights of the novel, and that filming would officially start at the end of the year at the latest, and the name of the movie would be changed to Gone with the Wind.

At the end of his trip to Atlanta, Boss Yang flew to Los Angeles immediately afterward. This is the highlight of his trip to the United States, where Lockheed has completed the prototype of the Thunder fighter, the dive bomber, and Whittle's turbojet engine, which is now being tested on the ground.

"Boss. I just got the news that Alcoa is working on a new type of aluminum alloy that is said to perform no worse than what we use now. "As soon as we met, Kelly Johnson told him very nervously.

This guy knows very well that the glory of Lockheed now relies on Yang Feng's high-performance aluminum alloy, taking the Hercules passenger aircraft as an example, it is not difficult to design and manufacture such an aircraft, but until now there has been no aircraft manufacturing company to develop the same aircraft, even Douglas has only launched a level of DC3.

The reason is very simple, there is no same aluminum alloy, wing crane four heavy engines, the structural strength of the aircraft is extremely high, if you want to build the same aircraft as Hercules, then it is necessary to greatly increase the structural weight to achieve this goal, but in that case, whether it is range or passenger capacity, it will be seriously affected, a plane with the same weight as Hercules, but the range and passenger capacity are much lower aircraft, it is impossible to compete with it.

The same is true for the Lightning fighter, which can be built using the aluminum alloy produced by Alcoa now, but the combat radius must be greatly reduced, including the same problem with the Liberator bomber.

"Kelly, don't worry, Alcoa has the same aluminum alloy, can't we have a better material?" Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder and said casually.

"Boss, are you saying you have better aviation materials?" Kelly Johnson immediately said with an excited face.

"Didn't I tell you? Using a jet engine can even make an airplane exceed the speed of sound, so do you think the current materials can allow an airplane to withstand this speed? Yang Feng said with a smile, comparing aviation materials with him is to find death!

In fact, it is impossible for Alcoa to develop the same level of aluminum alloy as him anyway, which Yang Feng is still very confident in, and now the best is aluminum-zinc-magnesium-copper alloy, and the performance of different countries is also very different because of different techniques, but in any case, it is impossible to compare with the performance of aluminum alloy after 80 years, even if it is the same alloy.

Besides, is there titanium alloy at this time? Is there an aluminum-lithium alloy at this time? Is there a composite material at this time? One day, I went back to process a batch of composite parts and pulled them directly to scare Alcoa to death.

With the assurance of Boss Yang, Kelly Johnson is much more relieved, he is now known as the wonder of the American aviation industry, and the limelight has even overshadowed those old-timers in the aviation industry.

There is no difference between the Thunder fighter and the appearance of a land battle at the test site. But in fact, the performance is similar to that of the second type, because the engine power is 1,200 horsepower, and the body structure is lighter, so Kelly Johnson has made improvements on the basis of the original design, mainly to strengthen the armor protection for the pilot, and change the two 12.7mm machine guns in the original design to four. As a result of the significant increase in firepower, the total weight of the aircraft was actually heavier.

"Not bad!" Yang Feng was very satisfied with the appearance of this plane, and the Japanese aircraft in World War II were still very beautiful.

After showing it to the big boss, Kelly Johnson immediately arranged for the pilot to conduct a test flight, in fact, this plane has been tested several times, and the fastest speed can reach 500 kilometers, although it is not as terrifying as lightning, but it is also a very good aircraft at this time.

The low-altitude combat performance is very good, and the four 12.7mm machine guns are powerful, even in aerial combat with the limited Lightning. It definitely has the power to fight.

Looking at the fighter plane soaring in the sky, Yang Feng couldn't help but start to make up the scene of the bald guy bullying the ninety-seven type with this thing, now the best thing for the Japanese army is the ninety-seven type, in front of this kind of aircraft, it is pure scum, this kind of facelifted one-type land battle has the power of a battle even against the Zero, but the price of this thing is not cheap!

Speaking of which, the bald guys are best suited to use wooden planes, like the ones in Joseph's hands, albeit wooden. However, the performance is very strong, but it is a pity that China does not have the vast Siberia that can provide qualified timber.

"Boss. In fact, I think that we can sell this fighter on the international market, and Congress will not ban its export, after all, it is much worse than the Lightning in terms of performance. Kelly Johnson said on the sidelines that the inability of the twin demon to export to the outside world has always been his biggest dissatisfaction, although the aircraft is still under-produced.

"That's a good idea. You can get it from Congress, but before that, you have to make at least a hundred Thunderbolts in loose parts to send to China. Yang Feng said.

Kelly Johnson gasped, now he was overwhelmed by the heavy burden of production, and the US Army Air Corps ordered a hundred Liberators. One hundred and fifty Lightnings, Yang Feng needs at least twenty more Liberators, fifty Lightnings, and there are more than two hundred orders for Hercules that are now waiting to get the goods, and the US Army Air Force has also ordered fifty transport planes, and among the more than five hundred aircraft orders, he has not even completed one-third of them so far, if you add these hundred Thunders, then this day will not be able to live.

"Boss, it's hard to complete so many orders with our current production capacity, I think we should buy another aircraft company?" The thing said hurriedly.

"Is there a suitable one?" Yang Feng asked curiously, he didn't mind this, Lockheed's production capacity was indeed a little tight.

"Martin is now going out of business." Kelly Johnson said with a wicked smile, in fact, this was completely forced by Lockheed, originally Martin with the B10 bomber for several years, and then B17 appeared, coupled with the failure of the dive bomber bid, a series of blows almost forced the old Martin into a desperate situation, and even had to rely on low prices to maintain it, but now there is a more ferocious wolf, Martin has no power to return to the sky.

"Yes, if the price is right, you can buy it, and you can also tell Mr. Martin that I can continue to have him as general manager if he wants, and as a sign of respect for him, Lockheed will change its name to Lockheed after acquiring Martin. Martin & Company. Yang Feng was so happy with the news that he immediately agreed to Kelly Johnson's request.

Loma! The thought of the name made him a little excited.

Of course, he doesn't need to take care of these things, just leave them to Lockheed to deal with it himself, a small factory of no more than 100 people, not worth a few dollars, if it weren't for the name Chong Loma, Yang Feng wouldn't bother to pay attention to this kind of small role!

This time, in addition to the Thunder fighter, there was also Yang Feng's long-awaited dive bomber, this dive bomber's pedigree is more complicated, although he provided Kelly Johnson with the drawings of Stukka, Dreadnought, Il-2, and even Comet and Skura, but also clearly told him that Stuka and Dreadnought were only for his reference, and they must not be copied.

This guy didn't want Mustache to trouble him with Northrop, and Skua was also a reference, so Kelly Johnson's only remaining options were Il2 and Comet, and in the end he chose Il2.

Of course, it is not completely copied, based on the Il-2, combined with the advantages of several other aircraft, using Allison's water-cooled engine, and finally made a completely new dive bomber, which is similar in appearance to Il-2, but the total take-off weight is lighter, even lighter than Stuka, which is also limited by the engine, and the current Allison V1710 water-cooled engine has a maximum power of less than 1,200 horsepower.

Although the weight is light, because of the weight reduction of materials, the bomb load exceeds that of Il-2, and the belly can carry a 500-kilogram bomb, and two 50-kilogram bombs can be hung on the wings, which is not surprising, because Kelly Johnson has reduced the armor of Il-2 a lot, and Yang Feng doesn't care too much about this, next time he goes back to get a batch of titanium alloy plates, and then replaces the armor steel plates with titanium alloys.

Other firepower includes an aerial gun, two 12.7 mm machine guns, and a 12.7 mm machine gun in the back seat, the fastest speed can reach 420 kilometers, and the maximum combat radius is 300 kilometers, this data is enough for Yang Feng, anyway, he is used to blow up the Japanese infantry, and then deploy to Yantai to engage in coastal defense, such a combat radius is enough to bomb Lushun. (To be continued......)
