Thomas looked complacently at the following Hualan destroyer, full of complacency in his heart.The Emerald is much larger, and the opponent has nothing to do with him.If they dared to fire, then the responsibility for initiating the war would be on the Hualan man's shoulders, and his task was considered excellent.

Xiang Xiang waited until after the war to receive the award for his meritorious service, and he was the first one, so he was full of pride in his heart. "Captain, they have sent the signal again." The first officer said holding up the binoculars.

"What? Are you warning us again?" Thomas asked casually.

"No." The first officer translated word by word: "My ship was ordered to ram your ship."

Chapter 190 The Abandoned Plan

"What?" Thomas jumped up from the chair as if a spring had been pressed on his buttocks. He ran to the porthole and saw the semaphore that he would never forget.

Before Thomas issued an order to evade, the smaller destroyer Qinzhou suddenly deflected its bow and rushed towards the waist of the Emerald.There was a clicking sound, and the smaller bow of the destroyer Qinzhou, which was driving in the opposite direction, hit the side of the emerald from the side.The bow of the destroyer collided violently with the waist of the Emerald, and the huge rebound caused the destroyer to bounce twice, but the helmsman turned the bow again and hit it again.

The Saar completely blew up the camp, and the sailors ran around the deck in horror, screaming my God.Qinzhou's second collision was even more ferocious. The bow of the ship was even deflated due to the impact. This almost detonated the torpedo in the torpedo tube on the opponent's deck. This was the pre-war preparations made by the Emerald to prevent the opponent from firing. , all weapons are in actual combat state.

Thomas was terrified. Once the torpedo was detonated, both warships would be sunk. "Quick, retreat quickly, turn the rudder to the right and go quickly." Thomas was almost howling, and the helmsman who was also frightened suddenly turned the rudder, and the cruiser almost deflected to the right at an angle of 45 degrees, and almost capsized because of the sharp turn. The helmsman was nervous.

The Emerald turned and fled. Before leaving, Thomas did not forget to hang a semaphore on the mast saying "Our ship's steering gear is out of order".

"Bah, a bunch of cowards, why don't you drag them now." Guo Minghao spat at the emerald that was going away: "Report the loss of the warship."

"Report to the captain, the bow is seriously deformed, the bow sonar is out of order, and two cabins are flooded, but they are still under the control of the damage control personnel, but we urgently need to return to the port for repairs." The chief officer replied.

Guo Minghao nodded: "Very well, we will withdraw immediately. Notify the headquarters that our ship is injured and needs to be repaired. Please send a replacement ship."

After the cruiser Emerald returned to the port of Mumbai, the Saar officers and soldiers in the port were all amazed by the huge pit on the side of the warship.Although the damage to the Emerald was much lighter than that of the Qinzhou due to its large size, the Saar Navy was completely ashamed.

In a fit of rage, Major General Cunningham sent a telegram to London requesting to send a local fleet to the Eastern Continent to fight the Hualan Kingdom.The higher-ups of the Saar Empire also believed that Hualan should not be easily subdued, otherwise it would be easy for the opponent to become arrogant.The Saar Empire has spanned the world for hundreds of years, relying on its powerful and unparalleled naval power.Now that they are humiliated by the enemy at sea, their prestige will be greatly damaged if they cannot regain their position. At least the Hualan Navy will have a psychological advantage if it becomes an enemy of the Saar Navy in the future.

Under the repeated request of Major General Cunningham, the Saar Empire's local fleet dispatched most of the main force. They also invited the Gaul Kingdom to send part of the fleet to form a joint combat fleet. They will pass through the Suez Canal in the Mediterranean Sea, across the Zeinian Ocean, and arrive at Mumbai. Hong Kong is dispatched.The high-level thinking of the Saar Empire is very straightforward, to make the other party feel oppressed with a strong naval power, and urge the other party to give up their desire for hegemony.

Facing the maritime threat from the Saar Empire and Gaul, Zhao Shouhong could only sigh.The other party didn't come early or late, but he came here at this critical time, as if deliberately making himself uncomfortable with him.Originally, according to Zhao Shouhong's plan, taking advantage of the domestic turmoil in Baiying to send troops to the New World, the Hualan Kingdom might have the possibility of dismembering the Baiying Kingdom.

This plan was a bit risky, but it was the best plan Zhao Shouhong could think of.Because Roosevelt unexpectedly became a utopian, Zhao Shouhong's plan had to be greatly adjusted.He knew very well in his heart that once the Utopian state system was applied to the White Eagle Country with strong industrial capabilities, it would definitely explode with terrifying power.

It will take a long time for the system's flaws to become apparent, but the danger to others is clear.Once it rises due to the planned economy, the White Eagle Country will be several times larger than the threat in history.What's more, the White Eagle Nation and the Red Alliance Nation have become countries with the same political system, and the mutual political trust between the two parties will be easier to achieve.If the land power Red United Nation and the maritime power White Eagle Nation communicate with each other, Hualan Nation will face powerful threats from two directions at the same time, and such a situation will be out of Hualan Nation's control.

Weakening the White Eagle Kingdom has become the only option at present, but because of the sea containment of the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom, Zhao Shouhong had to give up this tempting idea, and he could only smile wryly at this situation.

Without external constraints, Roosevelt was able to recuperate in the Chicago industrial area.They took over almost all the factories of the Chicago consortium, turning the consortium into a nominal empty shelf.Taking advantage of the huge heavy industry capabilities, MacArthur completed the reorganization of the Continental Army, and its strength soon grew to 30.

Such a powerful military force is already an extremely large force in the White Eagle country, and this does not include the militia organizations that support utopianism in various places.Roosevelt became the most vocal person in the country. With the election of a large number of people in the Chicago area, Roosevelt became the first president of the White Eagle Utopian Republic.

As soon as Roosevelt came to power, he immediately issued a call to liberate the whole country and establish a new country.When militias in various places rose up one after another and contained government forces in various forms, the main force of the Continental Army began to advance westward.They must first attack the western region where the government's strength is weakest, expand their territory and population, strengthen their strength, and finally reach the level where they can compete with the government.

On New Year's Day in 1930, the Continental Army attacked in the snow and captured Sao Paulo in one fell swoop.Then the Continental Army divided into two groups, one went up the Mississippi River and headed towards Lake Sakakawea; to the West Coast of the country.

When the Continental Army was attacking westward, Patton led his own tank division and cooperated with two infantry divisions as a feint attack force to block the White Eagle government army that might come.

Patton's attack was extremely violent, often catching his opponents by surprise. Springfield was captured before the government army had time to defend.There is a famous arsenal in this city occupied by the government army, which has been known for providing light weapons to the White Eagle Army for a hundred years.It's just because the current government is unpopular, and the government troops here are also obedient.The people at the bottom are very resistant to joining the army, so there are a lot of weapons and ammunition in stock here, but there are no soldiers to expand the army.As a result, these weapons were cheap for Colonel Patton and gave them the opportunity to expand their army.

The first thousand and 190 chapters of various countries intervene

The Continental Army is like a snowball, the more it advances, the stronger it becomes.Patton kept conquering the city all the way, and at the same time scattered the armed recruits into the old army to maintain their combat effectiveness.Relying on this approach, he conquered Indianapolis all the way, occupied the famous White Eagle Naval Academy there, and then occupied Columbus and Charleston, and defeated the government army steadily.

It was originally used as a partial division, with the purpose of disrupting the offensive rhythm of the government army and preventing them from easily attacking Chicago's troops, but it seems to have become the main force.Patton's army grew and soon surpassed 15 men.

Patton's rapid advance made the government army extremely panic. They quickly mobilized a large army in Charleston, preparing to fight a decisive battle with Patton in order to eliminate Patton's main force.Facing the more than 30 troops mobilized by the government army, he was not afraid, and led the army to meet them. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the outskirts of Charleston.

Relying on the more artillery configuration of the Continental Army, Patton dug the infantry defense line in a criss-cross pattern, and at the same time bombarded the opponent's position violently with large-caliber artillery.The government army originally wanted to consume the continental army with positional warfare, but it did not expect that the opponent would suddenly take out so many large-caliber artillery and directly bombard them with a longer range.

The feeling of being passively beaten is not pleasant, and the government army, whose artillery is not as good as human beings, had to launch an attack.Facing the attack of the government army, Patton did not use machine gun positions to deal with the charging infantry as in the traditional combat method. That was not Patton's style.

When the opponent launched an attack, a large number of tanks suddenly rushed out from the rear of the Continental Army.The powerful T1E1 tanks attacked cross-country at full speed, quickly disrupting the formation of the government army.The government army also has a large number of tanks in the team, but the Christian tanks with only machine guns cannot penetrate the front armor of T1E1 at all, while the T1E1 tanks with [-]mm tank guns can easily destroy the opponent.

Under the leadership of Patton, the tank troops of the Continental Army quickly broke up the opponent's formation, the government tanks were massacred, and the infantry who followed were crushed to blood.The entire formation of the government army was dispersed. Under the cover of Xu Jin's barrage, Patton's tank troops advanced in coordination with the infantry, and quickly broke through the government army's defense line.

This battle was fought cleanly, and it took only one day to defeat the main force of the government army.The other three generals were captured, and more than 4 people became prisoners.The Battle of Charleston became a turning point in the second civil war of the White Eagle Kingdom. Since then, the government army can only rely on the passive defense of various cities, and never dare to take the initiative to fight against the Continental Army.

The troops of the Continental Army were so powerful that the government army retreated steadily, occupying half of the White Eagle Kingdom.At this time, the countries of the Western Continent are in a hurry.The spread of utopianism is regarded by them as their greatest natural enemy, as can be seen in the strength of the blockade against the Red Federation in the past.Today, the White Eagle Country, the largest pillar of capitalism, has also been eroded by utopianism, and the bourgeois government is in danger of being overthrown, which is not bad.

Despite the domestic economic difficulties, many powerful countries in the Western Continent still sent a large number of volunteers to the White Eagle Country to join the battle against the Continental Army.This war led to the first cooperation among countries in the Western Continent to send troops. The Saar Empire, Gaul, Teutonic, Roman, Belgian, Red Clothes and other countries sent volunteers to help the White Eagle government fight.

For a while, a steady stream of supplies and personnel were transported to the White Eagle Country, and the strength of the government army rose sharply.Although they are still passively defending, the speed at which the Continental Army conquers cities has dropped significantly. It often takes a loss of 2000 or [-] people to conquer a small town.

The Continental Army's offensive was getting weaker and weaker, which also attracted Sterling's attention.Finding an ally is not easy in a capitalist world.Originally, the political system of Hualan Kingdom had some utopian shadows, but it was a hodgepodge, a transitional social situation summed up by Zhao Shouhong based on the experience of more than 1000 years of later generations.In this era, there is no reference at all, and it is impossible to classify this political system into any existing social system.

It is precisely because of the speciousness of Hualan's political system that neither the Utopian Red Federation nor the capitalist Western countries regard Hualan as friends.This situation seems to be isolated, so that Hualan country can not find a strong ally, but it also means that there is no enemy on another level.When the struggle between capitalism and Utopianism became more and more fierce, Hualan Kingdom was able to stay out of it and be the last fisherman.

Seeing that his allies were about to appear, Sterling naturally wanted to help Roosevelt in order to change the situation in the Red Federation.Through the Third International, the Burundi Party quickly issued a call to utopians all over the world, calling on them to go to the White Eagle Country to form an international column and fight for the liberation of all mankind.

Utopian political parties from various countries have responded one after another, and a large number of party members have continuously gathered in the White Eagle Kingdom through various methods.They joined the White Eagle Army as international fighters and became an all-powerful international column.When they took to the battlefield with weapons in hand and sang the "Internationale", the high morale and selfless fighting spirit made the government army terrified.

The International Column quickly became the trump card of the Continental Army, invincible wherever it went, and unstoppable in overcoming difficulties.Although this army suffered the most losses, it has become an existence respected by both sides.The civil war in the White Eagle Country continued to escalate, with more and more casualties on both sides, and almost all the powerful countries in the world were involved. It was like a small world war, but Hualan Country became the only country that survived alone.

After the war in the White Eagle Kingdom spread to the whole country, the whole country has lost control. No one is in the mood to check the daily work carefully. Customs and many government departments are paralyzed.It was with the help of such convenient conditions that the Hollywood consortium began to transport equipment, skilled workers, and engineers to various docks in batches, and then relied on the logistics company controlled by the consortium to transport them to the Southern Cross Star Republic little by little like ants moving house.

The remaining physical industries of the Hollywood consortium began to relocate, and Zhao Shouhong had already prepared the idea of ​​withdrawing the achievements of these years in the White Eagle Country to the country for preservation.Without anyone noticing, the Hollywood consortium adopted the method of multi-point shipments and dispersed evacuation, and moved [-]% of the steel industry, [-]% of the automobile industry, half of the aircraft industry and [-]% of the shipbuilding industry in the White Eagle Country to the Southern Cross. republic.

This famous move, known as the Hollywood Retreat, took more than three years, almost throughout the entire civil war in the White Eagle Country.Lu Zuofu, appointed by Zhao Shouhong, was the commander-in-chief of this relocation operation. His precise calculation and flexible transportation method can be regarded as classics, and he has also achieved his position as a leader in the world's transportation industry.

Chapter 190 Acquisition and Transfer

Against the backdrop of the economic crisis, it is certainly impossible for the Hollywood consortium to simply retreat.Taking advantage of the world's attention, including the opportunity of the Rothschild family being attracted to the White Eagle Kingdom, Maxson used the Rover Motor Company controlled in the Saar Empire to launch a silent acquisition.

Rolls-Royce was founded in [-] by Charlie Rolls and Henry Royce.Rolls-Royce has achieved good sales performance with its simple manufacturing process and extremely low noise when driving.The Silver Devil produced by it once played a race with the Chevrolet F[-] sedan driven by Zhao Shouhong at the Paris Auto Expo, and lost by only a few seconds in the end.

Because it is all hand-built, the production cost of Rolls-Royce is surprisingly high, but relying on the spirit of excellence, this brand of cars sells quite well.The only disadvantage of Rolls-Royce is that because of the cost, all it can attract are some rich people.With the purchasing power of these people, Rolls-Royce can make a lot of money even if the output is very low.

But those profits were made in normal, prosperous times.When the large-scale economic crisis occurred in [-], the profits of Rolls-Royce inevitably declined rapidly.Many rich people went bankrupt because of stocks, and those who survived were also seriously injured. Not many people have spare money to play with those high-end cars.

The sales of Rolls-Royce fell sharply, the company was in crisis, and the break of the capital chain was inevitable.Taking advantage of such an opportunity, Rover Motors quickly acquired this well-known company with a large amount of funds from the Hollywood consortium.

This small company does not seem to have a large-scale factory, and it does not have much use value, but Zhao Shouhong insists on incorporating it.In fact, Zhao Shouhong took this company into his hands because of its great reputation in later generations.Especially in World War II, the Merlin engine produced by Rolls-Royce supported the sky of the Allies.The most famous Spitfire fighter of the Saar Empire and the most famous Mustang fighter of the White Eagle Kingdom all use this engine.It can be said that this engine has supported most of the sky of the allies, but now Zhao Shouhong has directly strangled this possibility in his infancy.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Rothschild family to fully intervene in the affairs of the White Eagle Country, the Hollywood consortium frantically swept up goods in the Western Continent, including many high-quality companies. These companies were quickly dismantled and packaged, and transported to the Republic of the Southern Cross.

The major acquisitions of the Hollywood consortium are naturally not limited to the Rolls-Royce family. Taking advantage of the domestic turmoil and social turmoil in Baiying, many companies are on the verge of bankruptcy.The Hollywood consortium launched secret acquisitions everywhere, and soon Pratt & Whitney, Coca-Cola, ZIPPO, Boeing, Douglas, Reynolds Tobacco, Parker, and Galvin Productions, which produced engines, were all acquired.

The high-tech departments of these companies were all transferred to the Republic of the Southern Cross, and with them, a large number of scientists from the White Eagle Kingdom, especially Jewish.Now that the country's economic prospects are bleak and riots are rampant, these people are also willing to leave the White Eagle Country for a safe and stable area.During the World War, scientists from various countries who came to settle in the White Eagle Country from the Western Continent have made outstanding contributions to the development of the White Eagle Country over the years.Now these scientists have left again because of corruption, and Zhao Shouhong was taken advantage of in vain.

Both the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom focused on the White Eagle Kingdom, so the threat from the navy naturally disappeared, and the Hualan Kingdom did not receive any threats from the sea.But even if there is no external threat now, Zhao Shouhong doesn't plan to wade into this troubled water.

The forces in Baiying's country are already intertwined, if you intervene rashly, you will easily get yourself into trouble.What's more, now that both sides of the White Eagle country are funded by other countries in the world, the scale of the war will be greatly expanded, and the industrial damage to the White Eagle country will be even greater. Zhao Shouhong's goal is basically achieved.

At this time, Zhao Shouhong didn't concentrate his energy on the White Eagle Country. His favorite thing was to strengthen himself.After the unremitting efforts of many scientists, as well as Zhao Shouhong's personal suggestions, the new generation of 80386 chips finally came out.

This new technology, which is still unknown to countries all over the world, finally has a basis for popularization. The 80386 processor reduces the size of the transistor again, allowing a processor to integrate 27.5 transistors.At the beginning, the operating frequency of this processor was 12.5MHZ, but Zhao Shouhong quickly optimized the circuit, and designed the redundancy and concept of overclocking, so that the operating frequency of the processor was quickly increased to 40MHZ.
