Chapter 741 Blitz 1
The boss of the Royal Demolition Company left, holding the colorful and beautifully printed "voucher". He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Anyway, he only knew one thing, when there were more and more places to use the vouchers under the muzzle of the gun.
The US dollar is over!
Don't mess with Emperor Li. I don't know who came up with the idea of "voucher". It's so evil that it's simply a sharp weapon to destroy the finances of hostile countries! Fortunately, at least the Ministry of Finance did not find a small factory to print. Finally, it looks more exquisite, and if you are not careful, it is really a little like the Chinese version of the US dollar.
"Oh, it turns out that there is also an anti-counterfeiting watermark." Du Dazhuang was holding a voucher that had just arrived and was drawing to the sun. When he was thinking about whether this thing could really buy something, he was seen by Emperor Li who came out of the woods.
"What are you looking at?" Emperor Li stared at the big man who was not funny.
Du Dazhuang flattened his mouth and quickly flashed aside. After Li Mo left, he suddenly pulled out the corner of Li Enfu's clothes: "Mr. Li, can this thing really buy something?"
"Well, it will be used soon." Li Enfu coughed twice and suddenly took out a few of them from his pocket and said to him, "I'll give you more. When I go back, I'll buy more specialties for your daughter-in-law. It's cheap."
Uh-huh, it's cheap.
Looking at Li Mo's back, Li Enfu also praised it to the extreme: "Wen Shou, how did you think the emperor came up with this voucher?"
"How do I know?"
He waved his hand flatly and said, "A few days ago, Liang Dunyan sent a telegram from Mexico, saying that there were not many Jewish consortia that subscribed for treasury bonds, so the emperor took this out. Think about it, when our occupied area gets bigger and bigger, the U.S. financial system will become a mess, and the U.S. dollar ratio The vouchers are not as good as the time. I guess those Jews will rush to buy our national debt!"
"One demolition, one coupon, the emperor is really." Li Enfu sneetted his mouth and really admired Li Mo's whimsy. He knew that Emperor Li was learning and selling now.
Later generations said that when they invaded China, they used military votes to replace money, messing up China's economic order. Coupled with the invasion of legal currencies and other currencies at that time, countless wealth was taken away. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the country's economy collapsed, and half of it was attributed to the invasion of these foreign currencies and white paper.
And the voucher is not useless at all. If you justly allow those Americans who get the voucher to buy food and other necessities from the occupying army, then it is money.
In addition to using this trick to destroy the U.S. economy and force the Jewish group to continue to bow, Li Mo also hopes to use Liu Jingpeng's demolition and economic infiltration to accelerate the economic infiltration of the American continent in the current war period.
Because the military has to stay here for at least a year, even if it is possible to stay after the war, it also needs domestic businessmen to serve the army. This is similar to the logistics commercial contract adopted by the U.S. military in later generations, the complicated logistics is handed over to the security company to deal with, and they concentrate on the war.
Of course, it is impossible to be like later American security companies, because Xinhua prohibits private ownership of military guns. Even the purchase of shotguns requires real-name registration and a gun license. However, as long as Liu Jingpeng begins to sell the "trophy" that originally belonged to the United States, there must be more and more domestic businessmen coming here, which is bound to promote the return of Chinese to North America in the future and increase their influence in North America.
In this plundering way, tens of thousands of millionaires can be born in China within a year, far faster than the long colonization. After waiting for these people to grow up under the protection of the army, an emerging North American Chinese group will be born.
But if he wants to achieve this goal, he still relies on the army, so he immediately asked, "Is Yuanshou, is the U.S. military really going to give up San Diego?"
"At present, yes." Chen Ping said as he walked, "Although San Diego has a naval fortress, continuous bombing has destroyed most of it. In addition, we are attacking Tijuana. Once the two sides are surrounded, these millions of troops will be left here, so the United States does not dare to defend it."
Li Enfu said oh, suddenly turned his head and looked at him and said with a smile, "Millions of troops. You won't watch them withdraw to Arizona, will you?"
"Ha ha." Chen Ping smiled, looked at the busy minesweepers in the bay, and took a deep breath: "Luo Feng set out with the four divisions of the vanguard of the army last night."
"Oh? The goal is."
"With the Third Army, join Arizona!"
======January 17th, east of Phoenix, Mesa.
A number of camel biplanes, which served as reconnaissance, flew west along the dry riverbed. Although it is 400 kilometers away from Los Angeles and Chinese aircraft have not yet entered the deployment of Los Angeles, their naval long-range reconnaissance aircraft also visit this saline desert from time to time, so no one dares to take it lightly.
The Mesa railway station under the wings has been completely blocked. Ford tanks are being unloaded from the train with French San Monza assault tanks.
Major George Patton, like an angry bull, kept running in the tank cluster, shouting at his tank brigade from time to time.
Two years ago, he was appreciated by Pershing in the cross-border battle into Mexico. He should have gone to Panama with the latter, but because the tank battle in Europe and Xinhua impressed the United States, he was ordered to form the first tank unit of the United States.
In fact, what Patton wanted to do most was the cavalry, but in the face of the reality that the cavalry in the Eurasian battlefield hit his scalp in front of barbed wire and tanks, he had to work as a tank soldier.
"This son of a bitch's ghost weather!"
"Hurry up, we have to get out of here early!"
"Damn it, space is empty here. We will be found by reconnaissance aircraft!" Patton wiped his sweat and stood in front of a Ford 2 tank and shouted loudly. With a puff of smoke from the tank, the heat in the air seemed to increase a little.
Tanks and trucks began to start, and the pungent smell of gasoline burning filled the saline desert, like a group of headless flies, which made the corners of his eyes very angry.
Major Baker, who came from England next to, was also very helpless. Through this simple assembly, it can be seen that the combat capability of the U.S. Army is too poor.
The style of war has been completely changed. In the face of endless new weapons and new tactics, all countries are at a loss, and the most experienced United States is even more confused.
Especially a year after Europe fell into new trenches and barbed wire saws, and artillery and machine guns became the protagonists, the Chinese announced the birth of the king of the land with a still eye-dropping tank assault in the Arabian Peninsula.
Tank has become the new favorite of the army!
Although Germany was the first to use tanks for actual combat, it was the Chinese who really brought the tanks to the top. Their engine technology is really eye-catching. The tanks they built are not only fast and powerful, but also have long-distance attacks and strong mechanical power.
At this time, the United States really realized that after the navy and aircraft, its army was even worse!
Unfortunately, there is no time for them to adjust. From Australia to Panama, the United States has paid a high price for its lack of pre-war preparation, and is even watching the failure come little by little.
In order to catch up with its opponents, the United States began to catch up, from the imitation French Saint-Montza assault tank, to its own special light tank, to the one equipped with a 28mm rapid-fire gun just now, some Ford 2 tanks similar to Xinhua M3 Cheetah, which have made thousands of industrial advantages in just one year.
But it seems that it is not enough in the United States, because their army lacks training and more seriously lacks practical experience, so they turned to Britain and France to send middle-level officers like Baker, who have trained on the Western Front for more than a year, to help the army mature as soon as possible.
It's just now.
It's too messy!
Baker opened his five fingers and supported his cheeks and sighed from the bottom of his heart. He really didn't dare to think about what it would be if the Chinese tank troops appeared in front of him at this time. Fortunately, the [***] team was being dragged in California. I hope to take advantage of this last moment to train them well.
Baker walked to Patton and asked, "Major Patton, how is the situation in Phoenix?"
"It's terrible."
Even an arrogant person like Patton suddenly dimmed when he heard this question: "Lt. Gen. Carl has ordered a retreat from San Diego, and the San Francisco retreat will begin tonight. The troops stationed there will gradually withdraw to Oregon and Idaho."
Hearing the news, Baker sighed. Although he was British, he had trained tank troops in the east with Patton before, which did not mean that he did not care about the war at all.
It is not surprising that Lieutenant General Carl ordered a major retreat immediately after his failure in Los Angeles. After losing the only navy, almost all of California was in the fire circle of Chinese naval guns and aircraft carriers. After opening up the port of Los Angeles, their army and supplies could continue to reach the west coast and defend. Going is equivalent to killing in vain.
So the only thing we can do now is to distance and destroy all the railways along the way. Relying on the three states of Arizona, Nevada and Idaho, we can build a second line of defense to slowly consume each other.
But how long can this line of defense be held?
You should know that the Chinese tank troops can stage a 1,500-kilometer assault battle in the Arabian Peninsula. Although they did not have a midway base to refuel and rest this time, a breakthrough of hundreds of kilometers can still be achieved, so Baker still feels that the retreat is not resolute. If it is his command, it is better to retreat directly to Xinmo. The front line of Sigo, Colorado and Utah then used a small number of troops to constantly harass and attack along the way, destroying and lengthen each other's supply lines.
"At present, the first batch of troops to retreat have arrived in Phoenix. We have built a strong defense line there, but this area is mostly saline wasteland with a wide vision, so the lieutenant general hopes that we can drag each other's tank troops."
Barton was about to continue to introduce the battle plan to Baker when a truck suddenly flew in front of him. Major Baker, Major Patton. The sergeant jumped out of the car and looked nervous: "Lt. Lieutenant General Carl asked you to hurry up to Congrace immediately."
"Last night, the Chinese dispatched a large number of tank troops!"
