The adjutant's face flushed and he said urgently: "No, Marshal. It has something to do with us, a lot. This is a newspaper of the Chinese Empire. It clearly states that the Allied fleet severely damaged the Allied fleet at sea and won the naval battle.
Total victory. They put the greatest credit on us. These people from the Chinese Empire are so strange."
Marshal Scheer smiled slightly, poured another sip of wine into his mouth and said: "Why do people in the Chinese Empire also learn to brag? Besides, they didn't participate in the war, so how can they know the detailed situation of the war?"
The adjutant explained: "The newspapers said that after the Allied fleets broke away from us, the Chinese Empire used naval aviation to attack them. Verified by photos taken from the plane, there were no more than 200 Allied warships surviving, and most of them were injured. It is a conservative estimate.
The enemy's sailors suffered more than 150,000 casualties."
"What?" After hearing the adjutant's words, Marshal Scheer jumped up and immediately sobered up from his drink: "Quick, bring me the newspaper." Scheer almost snatched it from the adjutant's hand.
He took the newspaper and opened it with trembling hands.
This newspaper is the Aberdeen version of the "China Daily", which is published by the branch of the China Press in the Western Continent. The content is almost synchronized with that in the Chinese Empire.
At this moment, Marshal Scheer stared at the news in the newspaper with his eyes wide open. He saw the headline "Victory of the Allies" written in eye-catching bold letters on the front page of the newspaper. The report listed the huge losses of the Allied Powers, and also emphasized
He praised Marshal Scheer's excellent command of the naval battle and claimed that the Chinese Navy's aircraft were able to achieve results because the Allied navy had severely damaged the Allied fleet in advance, leaving most of its warships in a state of serious damage.
After seeing this report, Marshal Scheer breathed a sigh of relief. The Chinese newspaper is the mouthpiece of the Chinese imperial family. This is known to everyone. Their reports are basically equivalent to the meaning of the Chinese imperial government. Since the Chinese government gives credit to
Marshal Scheer was naturally very happy to have killed himself. Not only would he not have to go to a military court, he would instead be rewarded.
Fang Xiaoyu made this arrangement intentionally. He just wanted to elevate the status of battleships and downplay the power of aircraft carriers in order to mislead the development direction of navies of various countries. This propaganda was very successful. Marshal Jellicoe and Marshal Jellicoe, who resigned sadly due to the failure of the naval battle, and
His successor, Admiral Beatty, was a fanatical supporter of the artillery and ship doctrine, and they also subconsciously concealed the truth of the naval battle.
Marshal Scheer, who was being received cordially by William II at the Royal Palace of the Yaman Empire, would not reveal his true thoughts for the sake of his own wealth and life. Only Admiral Godard, commander of the Boston Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, mentioned his doubts in the report, but
He also did not see the air raid site of the Chinese Empire's carrier-based aircraft group, and his report only expressed doubts without any evidence. And he caused the damage to a large number of the Boston Navy's main ships in this war, so his report was naturally
The Imperial Navy in Boston scorned it, and it didn't receive much attention.
While governments of various countries were being deceived by the Chinese Empire's media for various reasons, Fang Xiaoyu was dancing and dancing for Xiao Feng in his residence in Canberra, the wild continent. With the 80,000 tons of gold looted from the Saar Empire,
He could finally upgrade Xiaofeng without having to use the country's gold reserves.
It was really not easy. After a lot of hard work, he collected a lot of wealth to raise Xiaofeng to level six. Looking at the geometric increase in the number of research points and scanning radius, as well as the newly opened aerospace equipment library, Fang Xiaoyu's heart was filled with excitement.
"Master, this upgrade adds new functions." Xiaofeng's words rang out at the right time. Xiaofeng, who was getting higher and higher in level, no longer needed to communicate with Fang Xiaoyu while he was sleeping. Now they can brainstorm anytime and anywhere.
Radio conversation.
Fang Xiaoyu said expectantly: "What new function?"
Xiaofeng said: "The fixed-point teleportation function will be able to teleport living bodies."
"Teleporting living bodies? Does that mean I can also teleport people there?" Fang Xiaoyu was extremely excited when he heard this sentence, which showed that he could teleport the human body. This is simply a heaven-defying skill.
"Okay, that's great. With this technology, I don't have to build that damn boat to travel between Beijing and the wild continent. I have to wander around the sea for a week every time. It's annoying to death."
Xiaofeng reminded again: "Master, the aerospace equipment warehouse has been opened. Do you want to start researching and manufacturing aerospace equipment?"
"Of course." Fang Xiaoyu replied without hesitation: "Start research and manufacturing immediately. I want to march into the universe as soon as possible."
Xiaofeng replied: "Okay, we will start researching on aerospace technology immediately, and the heavy industry equipment warehouse will start manufacturing necessary equipment for the aerospace equipment warehouse."
After so many years of in-house equipment upgrades in Fang Xiaoyu's heavy industry equipment warehouse, its processing accuracy and modernization have long reached a level that would stun anyone. Now as long as Fang Xiaoyu imports enough ore into Xiaofeng's equipment warehouse, it can be used for manufacturing aerospace equipment.
The equipment can be built very quickly, and its level of advanced technology will definitely not be lower than when the United States landed on the moon. As for the ore, Xiaofeng has a huge amount of various ores in the warehouses located in various places. It can be said that there is no shortage of it.
With the addition of Xiaofeng, the research on aerospace technology is definitely advancing rapidly. Thinking that the day to go home is getting closer, Fang Xiaoyu, who was relaxed, immediately began to experiment with new functions. He teleported directly back to the palace in Beijing. A few minutes later, Fang Xiaoyu
He hummed a little tune and walked out of his bedroom.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu walk out of the palace, the guards were stunned. They knew that Fang Xiaoyu had secretly gone to the Wilderness Continent, so why did he appear so suddenly? Besides, they didn't see Fang Xiaoyu go in at all. But the emperor's privacy was
Not everyone can ask, they can only treat it as invisible.
"Master, where are you from?" It's not that no one dared to ask. At least Fang Xiaoyu's old brothers talked to him about everything. At this time, Lin Feng, who had a look of astonishment on his face, was looking at him.
Fang Xiaoyu was stunned. Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I just came back from the Wild Continent and came to see how your work is going here."
Lin Feng didn't really believe Fang Xiaoyu's words. After all, such a fact was too unbelievable. Therefore, Lin Feng did not continue and just smiled and joked: "It's very rare for the young master to visit the Prime Minister's Office building. Is there something wrong?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "You don't have to hurt me, kid. I know I rarely come here, but I'm not idle. I just came here this time to ask you about the economic situation in the country? Are there any problems?"
Lin Fengdao: "Since the start of the World War, the scale of our domestic industry has nearly doubled, and the sales of various products are quite strong. After our Chinese Empire entered the war, we did not excessively recruit reserve troops into the army, and our labor force did not decrease much. Naturally,
It will not affect industrial production."
Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand: "Okay, don't just tell me nice things about what's wrong with the domestic economy now."
Lin Feng's face was slightly startled and he said: "There is no problem, but I feel there is some hidden worry."
Fang Xiaoyu also frowned slightly: "Are you worried? I also have some worries, please tell me first."
Lin Fengdao: "After several years of development, as of last year, the empire's gross national product had reached 617 billion yuan. Due to the stimulation of military production, the steel industry has grown the fastest. At present,
The empire can produce 11.69 million tons of steel and 21.97 million tons of pig iron every year."
"In addition to the Chinese consortium, many big businessmen have also begun to get involved in heavy industry, which has led to a rapid improvement in the country's heavy industry. However, this improvement is a bit too fast. It is not bad in today's wartime, which requires a large number of weapons and ammunition.
There is a strong demand for steel, and no matter how much it is produced, it can find a market. However, once the war ends, our production capacity will be excessive, and how to find a way out for this excess production capacity will be a big problem." Lin Feng is not uninterested in the current rapid development of the economy.
I am worried that once sales are blocked, the economy will easily hit a wall, and the losses will be huge.
Fang Xiaoyu touched his chin and said: "Indeed, I am also worried about this problem. I will talk to the Wu brothers and slowly reduce the production capacity of the heavy industry companies under the China Consortium from now on."
Lin Feng said: "But the China Financial Group will suffer losses."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "As long as the country does not cause economic turmoil due to this, it will be nothing if my China Financial Group suffers a little loss."
Lin Fengdao: "Now that the war is still going on, we can continue to produce for a while. Besides, if there is a surplus of steel, we can expand the navy. Now the national treasury is sufficient to support us in building a large number of warships."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "The Allied Powers were defeated in the recent naval battle. The fleet suffered heavy losses, and their land situation is not optimistic. I estimate that the war will be over within a year. If you make adjustments by then, it will be too late. But your idea is very
Yes, the main surplus we have now is steel. If we can find a way out for this steel, I won’t have to kill myself."
A lot of money has been made, and all the countries participating in the war have been almost disabled. What Fang Xiaoyu wants now is to end the war as soon as possible, focus on developing technology and strive to return to the earth as soon as possible. For this reason, he proposed to the joint command to send the army from the south.
The proposal to invade the Western Continent and open up a second battlefield. After receiving Fang Xiaoyu's instructions, the Joint Command immediately became busy, and the staff of the subordinate General Staff began to design various combat plans in the Western Continent.
The collection of intelligence also began to be stepped up.
On October 7, 907, the main force of the Southern Subcontinental Front Army led by Su Zhizhen had quietly assembled near the port of Ceuta.
