The bell rang as scheduled, the whole Big Apple was covered in white, standing in front of the window, looking at the exchange that would reopen after the new year, Morgan's heart was colder than the weather outside. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Lost yourself!

It's not just a loss" and a big loss!

Just a week ago, Congress approved a plan to issue another $200 million gold bond, which was underwritten by the rising star of the Bank of America.

No one knows what this means better than him, which means that Bank of America and its owner Thomas have become the only bellwether of the US economy overnight, which means that he has complete control of the US Federal Gold Reserve Board, which means that he will be the only remaining beneficiary of this crisis!

Morgan took a deep breath, the goal of controlling the currency was extinguished in an instant, not only Thomas also took advantage of this crisis to become a big source of money for the Republican Party in one fell swoop, but also Fairbanks used the 200 million dollars in cash exchanged for bonds, successfully stabilized market confidence, and also helped the U.S. government gain control of the currency again!

Although the crisis of several months has caused the US industry to suffer a heavy blow, now that the exchange has reopened, "he doesn't need to look to know that it must be hot now", and the stock market, as an economic weather vane, will definitely come to the market as soon as possible.

The tragic thing is that he has suffered a huge loss because he has sold all his stocks, and this loss can even be made up for in several years, because the serious thing is that the terrible opponent with a keen sense of smell has smelled his weakness and is launching an offensive against the bank he controls, and from the current situation, "the third largest bank, the Bank of New York City, has been unable to resist" is likely to be pocketed by that guy in the near future.

At this moment, he really wanted to call Thomas, to ask him how he laid out all this, and how he came up with the idea of taking advantage of the crisis to make a lot of money" made himself red.

In the end, however, he resisted the impulse that "although he is also a Jew, he does not mind such a nation in terms of commercial deceitfulness", and it is precisely because of this fratricidal competition that this nation stands out to the fore a group of outstanding people.

Behind him, there was a knock on the door, "After a while, Mars appeared in the room, looking at Morgan's back" sighed in his heart and said: "Mr. Morgan" This is the report of the "Police" Inspectorate, they suspect that the clearing center building was set on fire" They are currently doing their best to investigate. ”

Morgan turned his head, not at all surprised by the news, and smiled, "Mars, forget about it." ”

"It's been dissected! Why? Mr. Morgan, we lost hundreds of millions of dollars, did we just let that Thomas profit for nothing? Mars looked excited, patted the report and continued: "I suspect that the fire itself has something to do with him! ”

Seeing the old guy who has been with him for decades so impulsive" Morgan smiled and shook his head: "Mars" We lost, in fact, even if we have the evidence, do you think the Republicans will send Thomas to jail at this time? ”

Without waiting for Mars to reply, Morgan was already looking at him and asked himself: "This is the charm of politics and money, you don't know what's going to happen next, and do you think Thomas will not know that the crisis is deliberately created by us?" ”

"Give it up, that's the rules of the game!"

The eagle-like sharp gaze was a little shocked at Mars, he didn't expect Morgan to give up the pursuit, "But he also said a lot, not to mention how secretive Thomas can do things with Thomas's current status of calling the wind and rain, even if he finds out, then the other party can also break the news that it is his own people who have created the crisis, so it can only be a battle of words that can't change anything, so he can only smile wryly and nod: "Mr. Morgan, I know how to do it." ※※※※※I'm going to ※※※ net ※ (5) ※ (1) ※ Ο ※ ΝΕΤ ※※", Morgan's abandonment "means that this financial run crisis that lasted for nearly four months and suddenly came to an end, but this sudden disaster was a heavy blow to the U.S. economy" Whether it is Morgan or Thomas, or President Fairbanks is well aware that "the U.S. credit system has suffered a serious depreciation, and there is still a long way to go to recover it."

As a bystander, Li Mo, who ultimately made a profit, didn't know that Morgan had given up at this time, "But even if he knew, he didn't have time to care, because he still had important things to do."

The heavy snow in the northern hemisphere at the same time also made several experimental pools outside the Huludao Naval Ship Design Center temporarily unusable, so only a smaller indoor hot water circulation pool could be used, and the slightly warm pool relied on the boiler in the design center to keep it from freezing.

"Mike, isn't this picture finished? Why is a piece missing from the stern? "Long Guozhang stood beside him" looked at the researcher who was fiddling with a model of a destroyer that seemed to have been bitten off the stern, his face full of puzzlement.

Chen Ping, who was on the side, also crossed his arm, touching the stubble on his chin with one hand, and was very surprised by this design that was like being slashed.

"Speed! Velocity! ”

Mike frothed at the mouth and told the two of them, "This is a square stern type, and it has been proved by experiments that this design ear can greatly increase the speed of a warship." The puzzled two immediately turned to the "inventor" of this design.

Emperor Li was triumphant, and the secret that the square stern could increase the speed of the ship was not uncommon in later generations, but in this era when fluid mechanics was just in its infancy, it was enough to be shocking.

Of course, "this design requires scientific theories, especially the optimization of the underwater part requires a lot of experiments, otherwise this type of ship will not appear after World War II, but the big advantage of being a traverser is to pick up a knife and cut directly on the butt of the model, and then hand it over to McKinson, who was almost dumbfounded at the time, to study, and then in the era when some primitive technology experiments such as mechanical computers can only be used and through the naked eye, it took five years to basically conquer it.

Of course, "Li Mo also put forward suggestions such as bulbous bows", but the requirements for processing of bulbous bows are too high, so at present, only a similar oval sphere can be installed under the bow, and the effectiveness is much worse.

Fortunately, there is no such concept as "enough time to improve and perfect, and the early completion of the square stern has made him very happy, but the experiment is an experiment after all, and it will eventually be tested through actual use, so the use of capital ships still needs to wait" is just used on a generation of destroyers.

However, the high speed of 40 knots in the design index still made Long Guozhang and Chen Ping dumbfounded at the same time, knowing that this is a small destroyer of less than 1,000 tons abroad, and it is not a defense class, but a destroyer that has been enlarged by several hundred tons again, and the full load has reached 2300 tons!

And in order to maximize the use of the deck, "the hull is not as slender as before, but it appears a little wider, in this case it can reach 40 knots, and the endurance is 3500 nautical miles / 15 knots, which can only explain one problem."

"Let's chrysanthemum!" Emperor Li said the "answer" in his heart, and he rolled happily on the ground.

In later generations, China suffered from the lack of engines, and now he has not only made a perfect match of supercharged boiler and steam turbine, but also made a mature star engine, as for the internal combustion engine, it is also a comprehensive lead, and even the crucial rocket engine and jet engine, he has set up a research laboratory in advance, so that people can explore first.

In the case that he is a large part ahead in technology, but the industry and processing are not very good, he also constantly destroys all foreign experts who may threaten his lead through the Ministry of Intelligence, except for some people who have begun to attract the attention of various countries, some others have either secretly joined the Chinese Academy of Sciences, or they have mysteriously disappeared, and the research materials are gone.

In fact, no one other than him knew the power of this kind of destruction, which had not been interrupted since ten years ago, as evidenced by the fact that Britain had not yet been able to come up with a steam turbine that could be installed on a ship for experiments.

It is precisely because Britain and Germany are still using old-fashioned reciprocating steam engines to the St. Vincent class under construction in Britain, the Kai class that is about to start construction in Germany, and the South Carolina and Delaware classes in the United States are all using steam engines, which means that their large speed will not exceed 22 knots.

Crucially, even the invincible-class small cruisers, which were about to be launched by Britain and destined to cause an arms race, were restricted, and if they could not reflect the speed of the cruisers, they were a pile of useless scrap metal, because they sacrificed too much armor.

Without strong power support, Europe's super-battleships will be doomed to a difficult birth unless they are willing to accept a low-speed battleship of only about 18 knots.

Under such circumstances, Li Mo was not in a hurry to start construction of the super battleship, which also made the original plan to start construction half a year later postponed again and again, in addition to hoping that the design would be improved, but also because of the financial war being fought in the United States, he had too many strange and unpredictable financial competitions, and no one could ensure victory.

Looking at the model of the destroyer that was conducting the latter experiment in the pool, Li Mo couldn't help but look at his watch again, at this time, Thomas's news should also come, right?

When he was thinking anxiously, Duan Fei finally rushed into the experiment with the telegram he had just received.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Thomas is calling," he said. Duan Fei's sudden pause made Li Mo's heart tighten, did he fail?

And Chen Ping and Long Guozhang also widened their eyes, knowing that the emperor could invest hundreds of millions of dollars there, "If it fails, the super battleship plan may collapse, so they are all staring at Duan Fei."

He said. Duan Feiwan smiled, "He hopes to increase his shares." ”

"This damn bastard!" The content of this telegram that did not change made Li Mo and everyone laugh.

On the same day that Thomas sent the telegram, Li Xiufeng, who was personally sitting in New York, also sent a telegram, saying that he had taken advantage of the opportunity of the US financial crisis affecting the capital markets of the United States and London, and his investment was almost all successful, and he had made a net profit of more than $200 million in these two major markets alone!

When Li Enfu got the news, "he jumped up, and for him, the tragic situation in the United States at this moment would mean that the economic growth rate of the United States in 1908 was destined to be impossible to exceed 3 percent, and perhaps there was a possibility of negative growth," while Hua could continue to maintain a growth rate of more than 15 percent.

The distance is shrinking!

However, what made everyone dumbfounded was that after Emperor Li returned to Beijing overnight, he did not give an order to immediately start building super battleships, but an instruction that made everyone dumbfounded.

"What are you waiting for? Dig to the bottom! ”，。。
