A certain place in China, the energy group’s advanced scientific research base, President Li Er and deputy military minister Li Xian brought a large number of people here at this time. The reason is that the energy group’s first biochemical weapon giant, Stamm, will be reproduced here. The guy was created by the energy group by absorbing the technology of the previous artificial humans. His blueprint is a death row in Russia with a height of two meters. This guy is now at least twelve meters tall. He is definitely a giant. He has done too much before. This time I tried it again. This time I dared to call all the seniors because there is no danger. This guy has no brains. After installing a chip, this guy is like a little pet in his own house. Yes, and more obedient than pets. m (M_)
"We have been working on this project for the president for twelve years, and dozens of death row prisoners have died. However, according to the group's requirements, we have provided them with blood support. Our scientists have also died for various reasons. There are five, this is all caused by the instability of these artificial humans in the early stage." The main engineer in charge of this project said, he is not the chief person in charge of this project, because the chief person in charge has already been killed in an experiment, you can see How dangerous the project is. The energy group has not started large-scale production for this reason. The senior executives of the group are discussing whether to start the era of biochemical people or the era of robots. These are two directions of discussion, Li For Li Cong, who has been oppressing these two directions, nothing is as good as the future of mankind himself, but in some dangerous positions. It is better to let these "machines" go.
"In fact, what my father meant was that he didn't want these things to appear in the world. It's just because the American giant octopus made us suffer last time. If we put him together with the giant octopus, what will happen to them?" What the upper person needs is not a process, what he needs is a result. I give you tens of billions of R&D funds every year. Now I need you to tell me an answer. Is this guy useful?
"We don’t have the entity of a giant octopus, so we can only simulate it on a computer. Basically, we have the information of giant octopus in the past. If it is one-to-one, this guy still does not have the ability to defeat the giant octopus. But if it is two-to-one. We are more than 80% sure. In terms of funding, our thing is only one percent of the giant octopus. According to our research and cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, we believe that it takes five years for a giant octopus to grow. At that time, they need to spend at least 1.5 billion US dollars in these five years, and our biochemical man only needs one month, and then spend another month to let him learn some techniques, and the total calculation is In two months, we only need 15 million U.S. dollars to spend. If mass production is possible, we may get more.
The engineer took out some data and said that big people generally like to look at data, and Li Er is no exception. Before, he might have seen this guy's combat effectiveness with his own eyes. But now he knows that this is enough. The people below will not come to deceive himself, because he doesn't have the courage, and the people in the supervision department are not idlers.
"Very well, after you master the technology, the headquarters will give you special funds, but remember that the number of people should not be too large, and we must form a new unit within our control. Look at the next one." Li Er didn't waste much time on huge projects. Because his main purpose today is not this, but the mecha called the king of land warfare of the new generation. This is the most important thing Li Er will look at today, and he also looks at the armor Li Er in Iron Man. Many times, and once dreamed that if one of his subordinates had such a unit, he could easily sweep the whole world.
"President. This is our Mecha One. Although several countries around the world are studying this. But I'm sure our one is definitely the latest one. It can basically reach the one in the movie Iron Man. More than half of the combat power, it’s not bad that other countries can reach one-tenth at most, and they can’t make mass production. We can definitely produce fifteen of them every month, and the cost is amazing, even if it does. Mass production can only be reduced to 30 million U.S. dollars per piece.
Another engineer pointed to a two-meter-high iron guy and said, Li Er glanced at the thing in front of him and then looked back at the dozen meters there. In fact, what he wants to know in his heart is who is the better if these two guys are together, can they arrange a competition for these two guys to see who is the better.
However, he quickly withdrew this idea. This thing can only be thought of in his own mind. After all, he still can't say it. These are the two directions of the group's development. If he really lets them do it If you compare it, it might be a big trouble. The loser will definitely not put so much effort into it in the future, and may eventually ruin the development direction of the entire group because of his own curiosity. , This is absolutely not allowed by the group.
"Sir, this is a video of our drone and a company of soldiers fighting with him." The engineer opened a huge screen, and the war was flying on it. It was a mecha fighter, two unmanned helicopters, and a company of hundreds. The scene of human soldiers fighting, the final result is that the soldiers won, but they also paid 70% casualties. As for the two drones were shot down at the beginning, it seems that the group The combat effectiveness of this mecha fighter is very powerful, and there should be no wrong way.
Later, how could Li Er rest assured that his guard had a battle with this mecha fighter, and it turned out that his fifteen guards won, but that was the victory with even the seventh wounded. Such a victory was in the past. But it is hard to imagine that this is what Li Er's guards want to get a set of this thing to carry, after all, this thing looks very heavy, but it can be moved with a suitcase. If this is to put on this thing to fight. The combat effectiveness has been increased dozens of times or even hundreds of times out of thin air. It is impossible for them to say that they do not drool, but the group has not yet wanted to expose these things, so their greed can only be in dreams. It can only be realized here.
"Hehe, very good. On behalf of the group, I would like to thank everyone for their contributions to the group. Your science and technology base should be the best among the group's dozens of science and technology bases in the world this year. I hope you will continue to work hard." Li Er said at the end of the day He gave a short speech, but unlike Li Cong, he has no rewards. This is where Li Er is different from Li Cong. In fact, in the Li Cong era, the boss's reward seemed to be a salary, but what Li Er thought was that he would not give the reward easily. This was not because he was stingy, but because he was cherished because of the lack of things. Too much is meaningless.
After Li Er left there, the people in the science and technology base also felt that Li Er was somewhat different from Li Cong. They all felt that the new master seemed to be more severe than the old master, and the new master would never look at those falsehoods. Things, more depends on the actual situation, the scientific research base should be like this, but they are used to Li Cong's way, and they feel a little uncomfortable if they adapt it all at once.
In the Philadelphia Qin Group Casino, a few Sands Group members are about to meet Li Cong here, but there is someone they have to stop. This person is Sergey, the son of the owner of the Sands Casino. Li Cong and Qin You'er never thought that they were just two small casinos. How could they alarm such a person? Even if Philadelphia is of great value, he It shouldn't have appeared either. According to legend, this guy was a top student at Harvard Business School. He shouldn't have been involved in this kind of business, and the boss was very fond of his son. (M)
"Miss Qin, I hope you can agree to the conditions for us to join. I think this condition is already very good. And we can help the Qin family stand firm in Philadelphia. Although you are also a big power in Philadelphia, I don't want this. For a friend from Huaxia, maybe you will be divided by those guys now." This guy got to the point without saying a few words, and even Li Cong couldn't understand it at this moment. There is really no need for a casino as big as Sands to grab these two small casinos with the Qin family, and it seems that this is not very appropriate. The conditions set by others were quite formal, and the Qin family obviously had to take advantage.
"Wait, gentleman, I think you should have other things. Tell me your true purpose. I admire your father, but this is not his style of doing things." Li Cong interrupted them. Qin Youer has always used Li Cong’s words as his guidelines for the conversation between the two people. At this time, naturally, there will be no comments. What is strange is that Sergey also smiled at Li Cong. How is this going? What is so happy about this guy? Is this his goal? He wants to cooperate with Li Cong? Where does he want to work with Li Cong?
"This is Mr. Li, haha, I'm Sergey, the person in charge of the eastern part of the Three D Party, should we meet again? It's just that Mr. Li don't connect me with that guy Mike, he is the leader, but not me I’m here to work with Mr. Li again.
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated. If Li Cong guesses correctly, this guy should be another force on Mike’s side. Seeing Mike’s strength Zeng later did some business with Li Cong, but Li Cong didn't know what the deal was.
Li Cong squinted his eyes and looked at this guy for a while. He saw through this guy. This guy is ambitious, but what capital does he have to cooperate with him? This Li Cong must see, Mike’s ability is not small, he can kill the octopus in the entire base this time, but there is a lot of effort over there, what can this guy in front of him bring to him What? I wouldn't do things that didn't benefit me. If this guy couldn't bring me anything, I wouldn't work with him to offend Mike.
"What Mike? Li Yi, do you know him?" Qin You'er was a little confused. What did these two people say? Li had a headache. I really didn't know how to tell Qin You'er about this. Sergey seemed to understand what was going on here, and stood up and said goodbye to Li Cong. You can talk to Li Cong anytime you want to talk about business. Li Cong should be given some time now, so that he can get to know himself. Trading is long-lasting.
"What's the matter with these people. Why did they leave like that, didn't they want to talk to me about the casino? Why did they leave?" Qin You'er asked a question mark, she really didn't understand at this time. That person, can anyone escape from the casino that Sands has seen?
"How should I put it, this is an area you don't understand. They came to me. Haha, don't talk about this. I think your casino is still very good. How about? Are you interested in making it bigger?" Li Cong said with a smile. I have the largest casino and everything in the Asian casino. If Qin Youer really wants to be bigger, I don't give her a little bit of support.
"Forget it, I feel that you are becoming more and more mysterious. So many big people seem to be able to bear it when they see you, I'd better not cooperate with you less." Qin Youer said with a smile, she is not without ambitions , It’s just that the Skull and Bones people have been scared over the years, and they won’t develop too much when they are not a last resort. Otherwise, the things developed are not for themselves, but for others.
Actually, Li had never thought about discussing this issue with the Skull and Bones, but now it is a good time for peace, but when war starts, then there will be problems. At that time, the Qin family might become a bargaining chip for the Skull and Bones. It was not a joke. Now it just made the Qin family weaker. At that time, it must have been annihilated. This is not a joke. thing.
After making a fuss, the people from the Sands Group left, but the matter is definitely not over. Li Cong didn’t think about it at all. It’s just that Qin Youer said it had something to do with some of his uncles. Li Cong wanted to settle the matter with them, so he said his own words.
"Forget it. How they say they are my relatives, and just as they said, the Qin family's assets are also theirs." Qin Youer wanted to stop Li Cong after hearing Li Cong's thoughts. In her opinion, those people have no major guilt. Still don't go to Xingshi to inquire about sins, as long as they don't come to make trouble in the future. As for the previous things, Qin You'er didn't really want to find someone else.
"Hehe, you girl is a bit too kind, sometimes people don’t do that. If you don’t go to them, maybe they will come to you, but forget it, if you don’t want to go, I’ll just follow you, but If you let me know that they bullied you, I would definitely not let this matter go." Li Cong felt a little uncomfortable thinking that he was going to break his promise, but thinking that Qin Youer thought that way, he stopped insisting. After all, it is a matter of others.
While Li Cong was chatting with Qin Youer, the Skull and Bones also started to track down the traitors. The action lasted five hours, and it finally achieved a lot. In total, nearly tens of thousands of people were found from the inside. Traitors of, these people have energy groups, people of other powers, and the top leaders of the Skull and Bones are angry. No matter what the consequences will be, they will kill all these people directly. They are also extremely angry. The loss was really too great, and this move that Li Cong played was so powerful that they couldn't be prevented.
"This is not the most important thing. Even if we kill all the traitors, it will not help. We need new weapons, new weapons that can compete with the energy group. Now our weapons are very backward and are losing. After one fleet, our strength has declined even more. I ask Congress to approve our great naval revival plan." The newly appointed President Clad said to the senior officials of the Skull and Bones with the new naval plan in his hands. Why don't you want to expand your army, but your plan needs to cost hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars. The energy group wants to enter an arms race with us, just like we killed the Soviets back then. , If we did that, wouldn’t we follow them?
Just now, most of the people were howling like wolves with chicken blood. Now, they can’t do anything. Every time they talk about this new weapon, they don’t know what to say. It’s not that the US military doesn’t have new weapons, but those things They are still in the stage of judgment. At least those things will not be able to form an army in the next few decades. Their confrontation with energy groups will still rely on these standing weapons, but these standing weapons have fallen behind in quantity and quality. At this time, they could only take the risk of developing biochemical weapons, but Li Cong lost tens of thousands of people and destroyed their biochemical base. There is no way to settle this matter with Li Cong. If it is really exposed. I am afraid that the large-scale protests will throw them directly into the sea. People are still very afraid of those monsters, and they are very clear about the fear that those things bring to people.
"Then we will grit our teeth and carry on with this matter. We will turn half of the country into a militarized state in the next two years. We will form a huge alliance with Europa. It is certainly not enough to rely on our family's skills. , We are going to form the largest Pacific Fleet. As for the Atlantic Ocean, we can only be the ones handed over to Europa." The rotating chairman Moport said, his chairman is really aggrieved. No matter how people didn't have such a thing when they were the president, I just had a few days of being the president, so I showed up to me. How can I take it, this Li Cong.
Give your back to someone else? This is not the style of the Skull and Bones. Although their ancestors all came from Europe, many of the time they couldn’t understand those people. They thought that those Europeans were no longer on the same level as them. Of course, things in the past century have proved that Europeans can withdraw from the ranks of dominating the world since the end of the last world war. Whether in terms of strength or strategy, Europeans do not have the qualifications to dominate the world, so they give their backs to Many of these people are very unhappy from the heart.
"Gentlemen, I know that you all disagree with my proposal, but I hope you must also be clear. Compared with Europeans, the energy group is the biggest flood in the world. The gap between our strength and their strength is really It’s too big, and it’s impossible to catch up within a period of time. We have to switch to the wartime mechanism. During World War II, our country could produce hundreds of aircraft carriers. We don’t know how advanced we are now. Double, we can." President Moport's impassioned voice did not win much approval. Is this time the same as in World War II?
At that time, their opponent was Fusang, and the productivity gap between them was huge. However, it can also be seen that the productivity of Americans at that time was also very strong. If they can really recover to that time, I believe they will be able to compete with energy groups.
From 1941 to 1945, Fuso produced 17 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, 9 cruisers, 63 destroyers, and 147 submarines. During the same period, the United States produced 131 aircraft carriers (including aircraft carriers), 10 and 48 battleships, 355 destroyers, 498 frigates, and 203 submarines. The gap in production capacity between Japan and the United States can be seen from the quantity alone. What's more, the number of carrier-based aircraft used by the U.S. main battle aircraft carrier is much higher than that of Fusang (the U.S. "Midway Island" can take up to 133 Japan’s largest aircraft carrier "Shinano" can only carry 46 aircraft due to lack of carrier aircraft). This difference in numbers was also caused by the high-level productivity of the US military at that time.
Another important point is the number of destroyers and frigates. Fuso as an island country. Mainly rely on its maritime shipping lines to maintain its raw material imports. However, only 63 destroyers were built during World War II (other so-called "destroyers" can only be regarded as frigates by Allied standards), and the number of frigates is unknown (according to unofficial statistics. The number is also very small). In the same period, the United States had more than 740 anti-submarine ships built and launched! And it does not include armed speedboats and destroyers used on its eastern coastline to guard against German submarines. By the end of the war, the U.S. Navy was unprecedentedly strong. In fact, by 1945, the US Navy was stronger than the navies of all countries in the world combined! In terms of merchant ships, the number of merchant ships built by the United States in the first four and a half months of 1943 surpassed the total number of merchant ships built in Fuso for the past seven years, and Fuso did not have a particularly significant increase in the number of merchant ships built until 1943. This is probably related to their Pacific War. The wrong conclusion that will end in a short period of time is related to the strategic policy determined.
At the beginning of the Pacific War, Fuso had a certain advantage in the air force, and the Zero fighter was superior to the same type of Allied aircraft in both quantity and quality. Moreover, the Fuso fighter pilots have experienced a lot of battles, not only are they well-trained, have rich combat experience, and have high morale. However, as the huge national machinery of the United States entered high-speed operation, the advantages of the Fuso Air Force were quickly converted into disadvantages. A large number of aircraft were shot down by the Allied forces, and the country's production capacity was difficult to make up in time.
The allies not only have the upper hand in the number of aircraft. Moreover, new types of aircraft were continuously introduced during the war. By the end of the war, the aircraft performance of the US military was far superior to that of the Japanese military. On the other hand, Fusang basically used the'zero' style or its modification throughout the Second World War. The'Zero' type is indeed a very good fighter in many aspects, but by 1943 its performance has been significantly behind the new American models (because the Japanese army underestimated the protection of pilots, only focused on aircraft performance, excessive use of wood Materials and skins, the "zero" type is easy to catch fire after being hit, causing the plane to crash and kill). Approximately 97810 of the aircraft produced in the United States are multi-engine bombers (two-engine or four-engine), while Fuso only produced 15,117 (basically two-engine aircraft). Therefore, whether it is in terms of the number of aircraft produced or the total load of the aircraft. The differences between the two countries are very obvious.
From 1941 to 1945, the Japanese army only produced 604 field artillery pieces with a caliber greater than 105 mm and 6,512 artillery pieces with a caliber of 70-105 mm. In the same period, the United States produced 7,803 heavy artillery pieces and 27,082 other medium-caliber artillery pieces. 1941-1942. Fuso included tank production in the A-level (the highest level), but due to the backward technology and production technology, Fuso only produced 1,065 medium tanks and 1,024 light tanks. However, the United States produced 24,997 medium tanks and 4052 light tanks. It should be pointed out that during World War II, Fuso's medium tanks were only equivalent to Allied light tanks in terms of artillery power and armor thickness. Due to the poor performance of Japanese tanks in battle, the production of tanks was reduced to D-class in 1943. Fuso not only lacks tanks, but also vehicles are the weakness of the Japanese army. At its peak, Fuso's vehicle production was 47,901 in 1941, while the US car production in 1943 reached 621,502.
Except for heavy equipment. The production of other weapons, Fuso, is also seriously insufficient. At the end of 1941, Fusang’s arsenal was sufficient to equip 103 divisions and regiments, and the army’s combat sequence had 51 divisions and 59 brigades. At the beginning of the war, the army’s weapons and ammunition production and consumption were roughly the same, but as the scale of the war continued to expand, the number of the army increased sharply, but Fuso’s weapons and ammunition inventory did not increase significantly. In 1943, the size of the Fusang Army rose from 2.4 million to 3.1 million, while the United States surged from 4.15 million to 8.89 million. By the end of the war, although the Japanese army's weapons and ammunition could be equipped with 104 divisions, its battle sequence reached 171 divisions, which did not include the large number of paramilitary personnel in Fusang. The Americans in the same period were different. Their millions of troops were given various kinds of generous treatment, and they could also bring a lot of support to the Soviet Union on the European battlefield. These are the results of America's super productivity.
In the four years since the outbreak of World War II, the United States produced 274,989 airplanes, ships with a tonnage of 6.33 million tons, a merchant ship with a tonnage of 27.77 million tons, 41.4 billion rounds of bullets, and 84749 tanks. Of course, the things produced at that time were relatively simple. It should be difficult to achieve this productivity now.
"Mr. Moport, I do not approve of your approach. We are all aware of our ability during World War II, but those things were not equipped with such high technical requirements at that time, but now? Now it is not what we want. Rapid production can increase productivity.
Soon some congressmen expressed dissatisfaction. This thing is like this now. At that time, producing 15 aircraft might not be as difficult as the current one.
"Dear Mr. Bart, if we don’t enter this mechanism now, we will get bigger and bigger. Don’t tell me about the biological and chemical weapons. Those things will not take shape at least five years later, maybe even longer. In the past five years, hundreds of billions of dollars of appropriation in five years seems to be difficult to create an army that we cannot fully control." Moport is not happy at all about the development of biological and chemical weapons at this time, he feels eagerly By the time these things can no longer become the cornerstones of the Skull and Bones, it is enough to fail once, and you can never fail a second time.
"Everyone, I believe that everyone does not have a general idea about the military power of the energy group. Now I will tell you some of their naval power. Currently, the energy group has 4601 naval ships of various kinds, all of which have a displacement of 2,000. There are 2051 ships with more than 4,000 tons. There are 581 large warships with more than 10,000 tons. These are their active warships. In the next few years, they will launch more than double this number. What about us? Our naval strength is now less than one-fifth of others. If we add Europa’s navy, it can be one-fourth, but what's the use? In the past, what we wanted was a navy that could be global , Now we don’t even seem to be able to guard our own home.
Moport said helplessly, many people have not realized the gap between them and the energy group.
"I admit that what you said is true, but there is another problem that their naval combat strength should not be high. Our navy has been in the ocean for hundreds of years. What about his navy? It may not have been trained for more than a year, right? How could such a navy ever fought against our navy?
There are not a few people in the organization who have this idea. They are not paying attention to quantity advantages, and now they are also talking about quality advantages.
"Haha. When the quality is about the same, now everyone should take a look at this fragment. This is some confidential content, that is, when our giant octopus attacked the energy group navy, look at this situation if it is our navy. What kind of situation is it like when you are here?" Mobot knew that these people would definitely not admit defeat if they didn't show them something real, so let his men come and have a look.
The energy group navy on the screen has only two destroyers, but any of their tactical moves are very correct, and there is no extra action. Many people here are from the navy. Of course, they know how rare this is in front of them. They think that there are only a few warships in their navy that have this ability, and most of them may not. Looking at the quality of the sailors above, they are facing this thing. At that time, almost no one would jump into the sea or run away. Take a look at their navy in San Diego. If they can stick to their posts, they might not have lost so much. In terms of quality, the Energy Group and their There is definitely a gap between elites. But speaking of most of the words, there is absolutely no gap, even if the army is a little bit tougher, not a little bit, maybe it should be more.
"Gentlemen. The Energy Corps Army has sent an inquiry message. They have decided to set up a new naval base in Cuba. It is required to garrison three guided missile destroyers, two anti-control frigates, and five guided missile boats. The reason is to prevent us again Studying giant octopuses.
Just as these people continued to quarrel, a naval officer came in and said, this guy is the new assistant commander of the Pacific Fleet elected by the Skull and Bones. Although the position is not very high, this guy belongs to the old fellow Anderson. Great-great-grandson, he is also from the first family.
"What? What the do these yellow pigs want to do? Are they going to fight the third world war?" Immediately some hawks couldn't stand it. What a joke, it's Cuba this place. After so many years, this place seems to be unable to calm down again. The missile crisis with the Soviet Union is still vivid, and the energy group has taken a fancy to this place again.
"Yes, we have to teach these things a lesson, tell our aircraft carriers to go to Asia, and put some pressure on them." These people obviously haven't understood what is going on in this world. They think this world is the same as before. , Your aircraft carrier is still the biggest thing in the world before.
"Gentlemen, the energy group means that if we disagree, they will set up a huge maritime city on the high seas of the Caribbean Sea." One sentence again made everyone feel bad, this energy group's huge maritime city It can accommodate nearly 100,000 people, and various attack weapons emerge in an endless stream. It can almost instantly blow up a continent in the United States with conventional weapons. Compared with a few destroyers, if this guy comes over, they might be true. There is no sovereignty anymore, and this guy is a mobile airport with two 4,000-meter runways. According to internal reports, he can carry at least 400 independent combat aircraft of various types. Such a thing is definitely for them. I can't sleep at ease.
"This is a naked threat, tell them that we don't agree with this???" Many people are yelling, but the few people representing the highest authority of the Skull and Bones have not spoken at this time. It's not that they don't want to speak. But at this time, everything is superfluous. They can’t start a war with the energy group as soon as their heads are heated. Even if they start a war, they have to wait until they are fully prepared in the future. Several destroyers and frigates cannot be very big. As it is, at most it is just a nail at the door of one's own house, but if a war starts, the whole country will go in. In recent years, the energy group will win every battle. Their soldiers have high morale. Look at ours. In the past few years, there hasn't been a satisfactory thing, and morale is too low.
"Is it okay to let our people move around in Cuba and let them refuse the request of the energy group? Moport thought of a way, which is pretty good.
"Sorry sir, the FBI people have tried this method. The local department of the Energy Group has given Cuban executives one billion dollars worth of diamonds~EbookFREE.me~ and guaranteed that the Energy Group purchases more than two million Cubans each year. The kilograms of tobacco leaves are used to produce their healthy cigarettes, and the Cubans succumbed.
In the past, the Americans were often money diplomatic. At this time, they finally realized how helpless this method was, especially for some poor countries. Said this method is more effective, Cuba is a completely impoverished country.
"This group of Cubans, if there is a tsunami, they should be drowned directly. How can they betray their national sovereignty because of such a thing." Moport secretly cursed, this time to curse the Cubans. There is no use anymore, the most important thing at this time is a good way.
"We will try our best to prevent this. Let's go to Huaxia, Vice President Potter. It’s best to see Li Cong. If you don’t see Li Cong, you have to talk to Li Er and Li Yinluan. This question, tell them that this is our sensitive place, and tell them not to mess around." Mobott’s reaction speed is still very fast. Now it is just a plan. You must not wait until the energy group puts it into practice. "Also, look at the situation. If they are really tough, you can promise them to send warships in, but the number must not be too many." At this time, it is also necessary to reap some benefits. National interests are paramount. . (To be continued...)
