Chapter 346: Another Devil
The news of the sinking of the cruise ship President Coolidge made the whole world cheer, of course, it was all behind the scenes, and there were all kinds of manifestations on the surface, just like Britain's righteous indignation, Germany's restraint, and of course, China's severe condemnation, pay close attention, as for the United States, it was directly a powder keg, and Roosevelt was blown up to the ground, and the angry American people blocked outside the White House every day and held banners demanding punishment for the violent day.
But although he really wanted to beat Japan, now was not the time, because all the preparations were not yet completed! Both the expansion of the military and the construction of China's bomber bases have just begun, and it is obviously not suitable for war at this time, so we can't just let those five aircraft carriers single out a dozen aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean, right? What's more, there are two supercarriers in there, so the next performance of the US government is quite restrained, that is, the investigation.
Because the Japanese fleet was nearby, more than half of the passengers on the President Coolidge were rescued, and after these people were brought back to Japan, they were immediately taken away by the people of the US Embassy in Japan, and the Japanese side did not interfere.
These people were then picked up by American planes in Manila, and then carefully interrogated by American intelligence agencies, but the result gave Roosevelt a headache, first of all, it was absolutely right for the Japanese to take the initiative to attack, whether it was the crew testimony and the photos provided by the Chinese side, it was conclusively proved that the Yufeng was the first to fire on the President Coolidge, and the cruise ship had been subjected to four shells before sinking, which means that the reason for declaring war was enough, but this can still be operated, the key is whether the torpedo was fired by the Yufeng.
Although the rescued crew and passengers, including the captain, unanimously identified that it was a Japanese torpedo, and that it was a torpedo with no track. This torpedo has been used on a large scale by the Japanese in the Indian Ocean battlefield, and no one else owns it, and aerial photographs of Chinese reconnaissance planes also show that the sinking Yufeng was indeed in the torpedo firing position.
But how unreasonable is this matter, given the situation at that time, there was no need for the Yukaze to launch torpedoes, first of all, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force had already retreated, and the Japanese fleet had already arrived. At this time, the President Coolidge was difficult to fly, and there was no need to sink it again, and the Feather Wind was almost sinking, and the most important thing for the sailors on board to do was to escape, rather than firing torpedoes at the prey that had already arrived.
But it's useless to study these, it's not reasonable to be reasonable, anyway, the Feather Wind has sunk to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 200 meters, and it is impossible to find out whether it launched the torpedo or not, whether it is or not. Now it's the only thing it can do. In the midst of angry accusations, Roosevelt had to issue a request for a declaration of war in Congress, and after a vote, the US Congress passed by a margin of 10 votes, and then the US ambassador to Japan formally submitted a declaration of war to the Japanese government, and the last power in the world officially entered the war.
However, at this time, Boss Yang had routinely disappeared, and this goods had to go back to modern times to purchase a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns for his warships. The anti-aircraft missile will not be used for the time being, and there will definitely not be only Chinese sailors on his warships in the future. Therefore, it is better not to make things that are too good to be rotten.
The sudden appearance of this cargo frightened Li Fatzi, since the last time he pulled the submarine and mysteriously disappeared in the South China Sea, this guy even used the sonar ship of the Guanpai Navy to use active sonar bombardment, but it didn't produce any results, and he called Mozambique to contact his lair, and he didn't know where to go. The only thing that can tell him is that this product is still alive, which he has already explained when he left, Li Fatzi can be relieved, you must know that Yang Feng has now become his number one God of Wealth, he is asking God to worship Buddha and hope that this guy will live a long life.
"Brother Yang. You're too elusive, aren't you?" Lying in the arms of the little actress, this guy who was as fat as a mountain of meat said with emotion on his face.
Yang Feng is too lazy to explain this problem, anyway, the more such things are explained, the more loopholes there are, it is better to let him make up for his own brain, in fact, this kind of smart person can always give his brain a reasonable explanation, he told this guy very bluntly that he needs anti-aircraft artillery, the more the better, the caliber of more than three or seven millimeters, as long as it is not after the eighties, how many get how much, although now the performance of the anti-aircraft artillery produced by Beiping itself has met the requirements, but compared with the products of the sixties and seventies, there is always a little gap, Besides, so many warships need to be equipped, and the output is also a bit in short supply, and in modern times, this is not a sensitive weapon, so it is natural to buy more if it is easy to sell.
Of course, this problem is easy to do, China has almost 100,000 old-fashioned anti-aircraft guns, 37, 57, 85, 100, especially the latter two large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, a little change to small ships as the main gun, or even change to tank guns are very suitable, for this kind of order Li Fat naturally raised his hands to welcome, China has no shortage of retired anti-aircraft guns, not afraid of Yang Feng to ask for a few thousand.
Of course, these are small jobs, Yang Feng's main goal this time is to build a batch of high-speed torpedo boats in modern times, it is conceivable that after the war between the United States and Japan, the Japanese army can no longer watch the construction of China's bomber bases continue, and it will definitely attack China's coastal areas, so he needs a large number of high-speed torpedo boats, and not only for his own use, but also for the bald guys, it is best to get a few hundred to protect the main coastal ports.
"The catamaran, the tonnage of a few tens of tons can be, the speed cannot be less than forty-five knots, any weapons do not need to be equipped, but they must be easy to transport, it is best to be able to load them in containers, or they can simply be disassembled and assembled, and the quantity can be built as much as possible, not with those advanced digital control systems." Yang Feng said.
Beiping has now introduced the British MK8 torpedo production line, and it is able to produce this heavy steam gas torpedo, so Yang Feng is not ready to equip these speedboats with too advanced torpedoes, in fact, the MK8 is very useful, although all the performance is not outstanding, but it has a reliability that other torpedoes cannot match.
Li Fatzi quickly wrote down his requirements, the technical level of this kind of small boat is not worth mentioning, and it can be built in large quantities by just finding a shipyard, not to mention a military shipyard, even an ordinary civilian shipyard can be built.
"In addition, I need to make another batch of anti-ship missile guidance heads like last time." Yang Feng is talking about his batch of super-large warheads of the Styx, this kind of thing has begun to be imitated, the missile body and engine have been completed, but it is always stuck on the seeker, the sensitivity is too low, the first batch of test samples more than half off target, this is definitely not good, so Yang Feng is ready to customize a batch of seeker from modern times. These imitation anti-ship missiles, after being equipped with modern seekers, will be equipped on his newly built destroyers and cruisers, so that these light warships will have the power to fight even in the face of Japanese battleships.
In addition to the seeker and turbojet engine blades, although his imitation version of the turbojet engine can already be used, and the life can also reach the level of the original engine of the sixth master, but this thing is still as long as possible, and the drawings can be solved in modern manufacturing, not to mention that it is very easy to extend it by doubling it, and now Yang Feng is becoming less and less interested in the physical objects of advanced weapons, and what he likes to do most is to buy key parts, and then match other parts made there, and save in this way.
After giving Li Fatzi a bunch of orders that were enough to make him happy and couldn't sleep, Boss Yang gave him a difficult task to get him all the formula and manufacturing process of Agent Orange, although this thing is not high-tech, Yang Feng can probably buy it by spending money to find a few scientists, but why not use it if there is free labor.
"What do you want this for?" Li Fatzi asked vigilantly, although this is not an advanced technique, but after all, it is too frustrating, especially combined with the fact that Yang Feng's main market is Africa, it is not difficult to guess what this guy is going to use it for, he doesn't want to see the news from the news that one day a certain African warlord will sprinkle this thing on a hostile tribe in a jungle fight.
"Why do you ask so much? Can't I use it to weed the estate? If you don't, I'll give all these orders to Sablin, and even their daughters have given them to me, and I haven't asked you so many questions. Yang Feng said impatiently.
Li Fatzi hurriedly hugged the pile of orders in his arms and said with a smile: "If you are interested, I will introduce my daughter to you one day." ”
"Your daughter is as tall as you, aren't you afraid of crushing me to death? Hurry up, I must make a full set, I can take it back and build my own factory to produce it. Yang Feng said.
Agent Orange is a good thing, although there are many sequelae, but if it is sprinkled on the heads of the Japanese people, Boss Yang will have no psychological burden, even if there is a full set of information, it is estimated that it will be difficult to really put into large-scale production within two years, so that it can basically be rushed before the end of the war, napalm burns their cities, and Agent Orange destroys their villages, so it is not a big deal to calculate the use of mushrooms or something.
In addition, there is a more important one, that is, the technology of this thing can be used to make agricultural herbicides, and now Yang Feng has poisoned the entire world with two types of pesticides, organophosphorus and organochlorine, how can there be no glyphosate? These three major artifacts basically pinched the agriculture of the world realm, even if European and American countries discovered the toxicity of these things, it was very difficult to get rid of them at that time.
