No one knows what mood Jacob was in when he left Shanghai, but even with the promise of ensuring the safety of the family's capital, he was given an unprecedented opportunity, but he still couldn't be happier. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

After learning the true purpose of Li Mo's hidden in this huge war, he couldn't suppress the diffusion of thoughts, and the simple words "blue currency settlement" brought more than just a shock to the world economy, when Hualan became "blue gold", culture and politics will undergo earth-shaking changes.

In this world, nothing can be separated from money, everything valuable needs to be measured by money, when this settlement system is formed, when people use "how many blue coins" when pricing a certain commodity, then the politics, culture and even religion of the nation or country will be gradually infiltrated by blue banknotes.

This is a terrible system, what Li Mo has to do is to use his huge and unshakable gold reserves to pegged the blue coin to gold, and the currencies of other countries will gradually detach from gold and peg to the blue coin, which means that Hua has used currency to kidnap the world!

Because to put it simply, once the blue coin appreciates or depreciates, then the world monetary system will also be greatly moved.

For a Jewish family bent on controlling the world economy, they follow the same path as Li Mo, the difference is that they add concealment, while Li Mo is straightforward and simple, using cannons and bombs to accomplish the purpose!

This is the difference between the country and the family!

The ship slowly sailed away from the docks, and thanks to the opening of the Suez Canal, it has become a smooth road from Shanghai to Istanbul, all thanks to the current unbreakable maritime superiority of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.

Although this is the first Eurasian sea route to be reopened, the sea routes from Japan to China to Italy, North Korea to China to Austria-Hungary, Luzon, and Canada to Bulgaria are also in the stage of preparation for reopening, and it is foreseeable that the Asia-Europe sea routes, which have been closed for more than three years, will become active again in the near future.

Because of the war, more and more Europeans began to look at the tranquility of Asia, they arrived here along a steady stream of freighters, looking for the opportunity to dream of "trance, this has become the North American continent twenty years ago" The huge population base, superior natural conditions and the existence of the hegemon have made it impossible to see any war and crisis here in the short term, which has increasingly stimulated the white people who came to avoid the war and pan for gold.

There are also those who have had to stay in the East for several years because of the war, and they are eager to end, to return to their familiar homeland, but at this moment no one knows how long the war that has tilted the scales will finally stop.

Li Mo lay in a rocking chair and listened to the report, "while casually using tongs to remove the ashes from the brazier, and lù out the red charcoal underneath." ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

"Last month, we put a total of 1,968 transport ships and 268 transport aircraft on the North American front

6.5 million tonnes of total tonnage of supplies transported, most of which were ammunition and food. Zhang Zuoshuang, who had just returned to the General Staff Headquarters from the front line with a big victory, held the report, and his face was slightly solemn: "In addition to North America, the Mediterranean and North African theaters also had 711 transport ships last month, transporting a total of 2.7 million tons of supplies.

In addition to combat missions, "our fleet has delivered a total of 2,700 deliveries of material support to our allies in Europe, South America and Asia, totaling 8 million tons!"

At present, the Hualun project has delivered a transport ship, and 220 other captured and seized cargo ships have been put into transportation support, and even the navy transport ships have been pulled up.

Now that our mission has changed from an active offensive to providing material support to our European allies, the pressure on the transport fleet has tripled, and the personnel problem is not very big" At present, the logistics department has adopted the method of replacing people and not changing ships, but because it is a long distance to reach North America and Europe from Asia, and the return time is long, and with the surrender of Italy and Spain, once they begin to fully help them enter the well and recover after the war, the size of the fleet is far from enough. ”

"Are there any problems with the materiel other than transportation?" Tang Shaoyi waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Zuoshuang's words.

"The country is better, last year's drought in the south failed, but the country's total grain output still maintained growth, so the grain pressure is not very great, but the occupied areas are more troublesome."

Zhang Zuoshuang continued: "The early resettlement work in Australia has begun, but Australia is a desert and a pool of water, and the main arable land is concentrated in the Great Artesian Basin area" and according to the emperor's suggestion, we have completely banned the stocking of goats and other livestock in Australia that will destroy vegetation

Hunting of endemic flora and fauna is also prohibited.

Coupled with the fact that the resettlement work was underway, it would take at least two to three years to return to the pre-war production scale, and at present it was only enough to maintain the garrison needs, and could not provide assistance to the country and the occupied territories.

At present, the big difficulty is still North America!

We currently control seven southern states in the United States, including Texas and other states, but the problem is that at least 60% of the population there has fled to the north, and most of the rest have been temporarily isolated and forbidden to leave the area 3 kilometers from the living area, so it is impossible to resume food production, and we must rely on domestic support.

The same is true of the European theater of operations, although Germany controlled a third of the land of France, and occupied the rich plain of Paris for three years, but the production of food was also not up, and their human resources were worse than ours, after sucking out a large number of young people to go to the front, food could only be guaranteed to be self-sufficient, and other materials were also in short supply! Coupled with the recent shortage of Italian science and technology, our pressure on important food has also begun to appear!

On the side of the Entente, the United States fared slightly better, although the industrial base was destroyed by us about 5

but the main grain-producing areas of the Great Lakes have not been destroyed. Britain and France are already very bad at the moment, due to our blockade of the east coast of the United States, except for a small number of sī ships, the main transportation in the Atlantic has been completely interrupted, the British and French grain reserves are no longer self-sufficient, especially France has reached the limit, we expect that in 2 more months, France will collapse because of food! ”

"The twenty years of prosperity in Europe before the war have been destroyed by this war, and the ten years of materials that you have quietly stockpiled from scratch have also been consumed.

Tin, aluminum, and other metal raw materials have been almost consumed, especially copper, and we have begun to use post-war reserves. ”

"That's how it should be said!" Zhang Zuoshuang summed up with a serious expression: "Europe has begun to fish with all its might, and we are also starting to feel uncomfortable!" ”

"Hehe, there's still a gap." Facing everyone's gaze at him, Li Mo stretched his waist. His words also resonated with everyone: "Before the war, he took a complete set of industry for the country by spending money crazy", but after all, the foundation is thin, the time is short, and it is not as good as Europe and the United States after a hundred years of industrial grass.

Standing at the height of Li Mo, he can clearly know that the domestic factory has reached the limit, and the possibility of expanding capacity in the short term is very small, so he is very happy that the war can be fought to this extent.

"Let's talk about the current state of the war." Chen Ping said.

Zhang Zuoshuang nodded, walked to the map and picked up the baton: "In the North American theater, as our supply lines begin to lengthen" plus the winter weather, so the US troops on land have stabilized on the front line in Kansas, Missouri, and South Carolina, and the work of the theater is mainly focused on maintaining local stability, clearing the rear to ensure the safety of supply lines, and giving the enemy a certain amount of pressure on the front line.

At sea, at present, we still maintain the scale of six aircraft carriers and three task forces on the east coast of the United States, but at present, the cold snap in the Atlantic Ocean is serious, and the sea areas in many areas have been frozen" and the sea wind, snow and fog are serious at night, and the threat of enemy submarines is relatively large, so for security reasons, the fleet has not entered the northern regions such as New York and Bōston, and our pilots in the early stage also need to rest and recuperate because of long-term and high-intensity operations, and the consumption of ammunition is also very serious, so at present it is only to maintain the blockade and carry out conventional bombing, It will be necessary to wait until the end of April to cross the Atlantic winter and resume a full-scale offensive. ”

Zhang Zuoshuang paused for a moment and continued after the baton moved sideways: "In the Mediterranean direction, the main task at present is to force Spain to surrender as soon as possible, and at the same time to provide support to Germany and Italy, since the Malta base will be activated at least until the end of April, the strategic bombardment of southern France will not begin until at least the beginning of May.

"With the return of Italy, the two Ottoman armies and our two divisions have taken control of the whole of Egypt, and one of them has penetrated deep into French Tunisia and Algeria without much resistance.

On the European side, the German army has suspended the main offensive for its own considerations, and Britain and France have basically lost the right to attack actively" According to intelligence, Hindenburg and Ludendorff are already planning a spring offensive and preparing to conquer France in one fell swoop!

At sea, the German Navy began to regain its activity after the return of Tirpitz, and launched two consecutive breakouts, but because of the delivery of the last two Hood-class ships of the British ship, plus the prestige-class of two ships that fled back from the United States, the North Sea defense line has been stabilized.

Tirpitz is currently hoping that we will cross the Atlantic to help in the war, and talks with Willem II to speed up the construction of the Yorks, and we expect a round of naval encounters to begin in late April and early May. ”

"Yuanshou, you really didn't think about bombing the British mainland?" Li Enfu was a little surprised after hearing this, first glanced at Li Mo and then turned to Chen Ping, and was really a little puzzled by the fact that the military did not say a word about Britain, you must know that Britain is the only big piece of fat left, no matter whether it is out of political goals or post-war interests, even if it is impossible to treat Britain like the United States, it is also necessary to maintain military pressure.

Chen Ping smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "The moment the German Navy breaks through the blockade, we will arrive at the British mainland!" "It's over, after blowing up the United States and then bombing the United Kingdom, this will require a lot of ammunition consumption, Tang Pang is afraid that he is going to cry, right?" When Yan Fu heard this, his face suddenly collapsed, just the bombing mission against the United States almost exhausted dozens of ammunition factories in the Ministry of Equipment, and he had to continue to deal with Britain, not to mention Tang Xiao, even he felt that it was extremely tricky.

"Hehe......." Li Mo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have prepared something for Britain, if it goes well, it won't take much ammunition to destroy industrial capacity!" ”

"Something?"

Tang Shaoyi and the others widened their eyes curiously, but Li Mo didn't seem to have any intention of answering, he just asked with a smile: "Yuanshou, according to your estimates, how long will it take for the war to end?" ”

"There are five days left before the Lunar New Year, so if you calculate it like this, give us another half a year, and it will be over!"

"Half a year?" Li Mo squinted his eyes and nodded, meaning enough to say, "It should be enough." ”@。
