Chapter 346 Another Devil
The news of the sinking of President Coolidge's cruise ship made the whole world cheer, of course, behind their backs, and on the surface, there were various manifestations, just like the British indignation, Germany's restraint, and of course China's severe condemnation, and closely monitor it. As for the United States, it directly triggered a powder barrel and blew Roosevelt upset. The angry American people blocked outside the White House every day, holding banners to demand punishment for the violent sun.
But although he wanted to beat Japan, it was not the time now, because all preparations had not been completed yet! Whether it was military expansion or the construction of China's bomber bases, they had just begun. It was obviously not suitable for war at this time. We can't just let those five aircraft carriers fight more than a dozen aircraft carriers in the Pacific, right? What's more, there are two super aircraft carriers in it, so the US government's performance is quite restrained, that is, investigation.
Because the Japanese fleet is right next to it, more than half of the passengers on the President Coolidge were rescued. After being brought back to Japan, they were immediately taken away by the people from the US Embassy in Japan. The Japanese side did not interfere. Anyway, they are fearless now. If you have the courage, you will fight and if you don’t have the courage, you will endure it.
These people were then picked up by American planes to Manila, and then carefully interrogated by the US intelligence agencies, but the result was a headache for Roosevelt. First of all, it was absolutely right for the Japanese to attack on the active attack. Whether it was the crew testimony and the photos provided by China, it proved that the Ultimate was the first to fire at President Coolidge, and the cruise ship had already been hit by four shells before it sank. In other words, the reason for declaring war was enough, but this was still operational. The key was whether the torpedo was launched by the Ultimate.
Although the rescued crew and passengers, including the captain, all verified that they were Japanese torpedoes, and they were torpedoes with no tracks. This torpedo was used on a large scale by the Japanese on the Indian Ocean battlefield. Except for them, no one else owned them, and aerial photos of Chinese reconnaissance planes also showed that the Sinking Matsushiro was indeed in the torpedo launch position.
But how it is unreasonable to look at this matter. In the situation at that time, there is no need for the Yufeng to launch torpedoes. First of all, the Chinese Air Force fighter jets have retreated, and the Japanese fleet has arrived. At this time, President Coolidge was unable to fly, so there was no need to sink again. Moreover, the Yufeng to sink is almost sunk, and the most important thing the sailors on the ship should do is to escape, rather than launch torpedoes at the prey they have already obtained.
But studying these is useless. If it is unreasonable, it is unreasonable. Anyway, the Yufeng has sank into the seabed two hundred meters deep. It is impossible to find out whether it is the torpedo it launched. It is not right or not. Now it can only do it. Amid an angry accusation, Roosevelt had to issue a request for a declaration of war in Congress. After a vote, the US Congress passed by a dozen votes. Then the US ambassador to Japan officially submitted a declaration of war to the Japanese government, and the last major power in the world officially joined the war.
However, at this time, Boss Yang had routinely disappeared. This guy had to go back to modern times to purchase a large number of air defense weapons, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns and air defense missiles for his warships. In the future, there will definitely be no only Chinese sailors on his warships. So it is better not to make things too good.
The sudden appearance of this guy scared Fatty Li. Since the last time he pulled the submarine and disappeared mysteriously in the South China Sea, this guy even used the sonar ship of the navy's active sonar to bomb, but no result was found. He called his old nest in Mozambique, and he didn't know where to go. The only thing he could tell him was that this guy was still alive, and he had already explained this before leaving. Fatty Li was relieved. You must know that Yang Feng has now become his number one god of wealth. He is praying to God and Buddha and hopes that this guy will live for a long time.
"Brother Yang. Are you so elusive?" 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 was too lazy to explain this problem. Anyway, the more loopholes there are in such matters, the more you explain it, it would be better to let him figure it out. In fact, this smart man can always give him an explanation that he thinks is reasonable. He told this guy straightforwardly that he needs anti-aircraft guns, the more quantity, the better, with a caliber of more than 307 millimeters. As long as it is not from the 1980s, how many of them are there? Although the performance of anti-aircraft guns produced by Peking now meet the requirements, there is still a little gap compared to the products in the 1960s and 1970s. Besides, so many warships need equipment, the output is also a bit in short supply. In modern times, this is not a sensitive weapon, so you should naturally buy more if you sell it.
This problem is of course easy to deal with. China has about 100,000 old-fashioned anti-aircraft guns, including 37, 57, 85, 100, especially the latter two large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. It is okay to change it slightly to serve as main guns for small ships, or even to tank guns. It is very suitable to change it to such an order. Fatty Li naturally welcomes this kind of order. China does not lack retired anti-aircraft guns, and is not afraid that Yang Feng will want thousands of them.
Of course these are all small tasks. Yang Feng’s main goal this time is to build a batch of high-speed torpedo boats in modern times. It can be imagined that after the war between the United States and Japan, the Japanese army would no longer see China’s bomber bases continue to be built and will definitely attack China’s coastal areas. Therefore, he needs a large number of high-speed torpedo boats, not only for himself, but also for the bald man. It is best to get hundreds of ships to protect the main coastal ports.
"A catamaran can only have a tonnage of dozens of tons, and its speed cannot be less than forty-five knots. No weapon needs to be equipped, but it must be easy to transport. It is best to be loaded in a container, or it can be simply decomposed and assembled. Anyway, the quantity can be built as much as possible, and do not use those advanced digital control systems." Yang Feng said.
Peiping has now introduced the British mk8 torpedo production line and can produce this heavy steam gas torpedo itself, so Yang Feng is not planning to equip these speedboats with too advanced torpedoes. In fact, the mk8 is very useful. Although all the performance is not excellent, it has reliability that other torpedoes cannot match.
Fatty Li quickly wrote down his requirements. The technical level of this kind of small boat is not worth mentioning. You can build it in large quantities by just finding a shipyard. Not to mention military shipyards, even ordinary civilian shipyards can build it.
"In addition, I need to create another batch of guide heads for the last anti-ship missiles." Yang Feng was talking about his super-large warheads. The Styx River. The Academy of Sciences has begun to imitate the missile body and engine, but it has always been stuck on the seeker. The sensitivity is too low. Most of the first test items are off-target. This is definitely not possible, so Yang Feng is preparing to customize a batch of seekers from Hyundai. After these counterfeit anti-ship missiles are equipped with modern seekers, they will be equipped on his newly built destroyers and cruisers. In this way, these light warships will have the power to fight even when facing Japanese battleships. You must know that those customized versions of the Styx warheads have a ton of charge. Not to mention the King Kong-class, even Nagato will probably have to kneel down if they get shot.
In addition to the seeker, there are turbojet engine blades. Although his imitation version of the turbojet engine can already be used and its lifespan can reach the level of Liuye's original engine, the longer the time, the better. Taking out the drawings to manufacture in modern times can solve this problem. Not to mention that it is still easy to double it. Now Yang Feng is becoming less and less interested in the physical objects of advanced weapons. What he loves most is to buy key parts and then use other parts of the manufacturing there to accumulate this way.
After giving Fatty Li a bunch of orders that were enough to make him sleepless, Boss Yang gave him a difficult task to get all the Agent Orange formula and manufacturing process for him. Although this thing is not a high-tech thing, Yang Feng would probably buy it even if he spent money to find a few scientists, but why not have free labor?
"What are you going to do for this thing?" Fatty Li asked vigilantly. Although this is not an advanced technology, it is too crazy after all. Especially with Yang Feng's main market is Africa, it is not difficult to guess what this guy is going to do. He doesn't want to see from the news that an African warlord spilled this thing on a hostile tribe in a jungle fight.
"Why do you ask so many questions? Can't I use them to weed the manor? If you don't do it, I will give all these orders to Sabrin. They even gave me their daughter, but I didn't ask you so many questions." Yang Feng said impatiently.
Fatty Li quickly hugged the pile of orders in his arms and smiled and said, "You must be interested in introducing my daughter to you one day."
"If your daughter grows the same tonnage as you, aren't you afraid of crushing me to death? Hurry up and you must get the complete set. I can build a factory and produce it by myself." Yang Feng said.
Agent Orange is a good thing. Although there are many sequelae, if it is sprinkled on the Japanese people, Boss Yang will not have any psychological burden. Even if there is a complete set of information, it is estimated that it will be difficult to put into production on a large scale within two years. In this way, it can basically be done before the end of the war, napalm bombs burn their cities and Agent Orange destroy their countryside. It is no big deal to calculate whether mushrooms or something is used or not.
