Chapter 774 The Third Goal

When the army entered Vietnam last year, most of the so many minerals left by the French were stored in his arms. Later, he successively collected several rich mines in Sumatra and Java. Recently, it has been heard that it has taken the line of India.

You know, the navy has only been in Mumbai for more than half a month. It has been online in such a short time and has a goal. Boss Snow is really good!

Businessmen watched Snow board the ship with envy, while the workers hoped that their children could enter such a company in the future.

Sno doesn't care about the eyes around him. He can still have ocean-going ships at this time. It's not that some people think of Li Mo's light, but these ships were captured by the navy at the beginning. Because of some damage and slow speed, the navy doesn't look down on him. More importantly, his Nanyang Trading Company still The Admiralty took over the work of transporting food to several bases such as Kuwait, so a few cargo ships were left behind.

"Fabio, how long will it take?"

Snow checked the loading speed while asking the assistant around him.

"Boss, don't worry, it can be fully loaded before tonight. I also informed the boatman that he can leave early tomorrow morning."

"Very good. Ship this batch of grain to the new base on Socotra Island and the Sinai Peninsula as soon as possible. The navy is very anxious this time. In addition, you should urge Sumatra to prepare the next batch of grain. Snow took care of him carefully. From the "teacher" who cheated and drank in those years to being held hostage as a pawn, to now he has the title of Xinhua aristocratic title and become a super consortium boss who can really squeeze into the top ten in the country. The four words "life changeable" have been the most perfect interpretation in him.

For Li Mo, Snow doesn't know whether to hate or love. Because of him, he became a sinner in Spain and was once wanted in Spain. His uncle also died a few years ago because he was addicted to drugs. But if it weren't for Li Mo, he wouldn't be here today, maybe somewhere in Europe, which is in chaos and turmoil at this moment, or simply become a pile of rotten meat under the shell.

Today's Snow has become a superior person. Although Li Mo is just a shareholder, he never cares about the business and will never find someone to take care of him, but with that hazy relationship, the company has been really glorious in recent years.

Although he has only been a teacher for a few months, he knows the thoughts of his emperor's student after so many years, so Nanyang Trading Company has never competed for profits with domestic businessmen in recent years, but has been devoted to exploring and derating overseas resources, from Sumatra to Java, from the Southeast Peninsula to Ceylon and India. Infiltration with Northeast Africa to accelerate mergers and acquisitions of overseas resources in the way of capital plunder.

According to his emperor's student, domestic resources should be protected, while foreign resources should be taken back, and then quickly dumped after processing the finished product, which has reached a penetrating mode called "commodity opening the way".

Snow didn't quite understand before, but today he knows that when the markets of Japan, Siam, Brunei and other countries and regions are full of goods from Xinhua, in fact, they can no longer get rid of their subordinate status, because they have completely integrated into what Li Mo conceived and has been silently implemented. In the economic chain, and mastering this chain in the highest position is this dazzling country after the beginning of the war!

This is also a war. There is no catapour in the capital market, no smoke and explosion of real ammunition, but it can unconsciously change a lot of things, which can make some countries unconsciously become vassals.

To be honest, Snow enjoyed this feeling very much, just like the last time he went to Siam to negotiate a tin mining right, even the king of Siam had to come to receive him in person. In the past, he did not dare to think of meeting a king and be able to discuss with him about the mining and future development of his country.

Suddenly, a fleet slowly entering the port attracted Snow's attention. The arrival of more than a dozen large cargo ships and dozens of small and medium-sized sea ships caused restlessness on the dock, and the sharp-eyed people covered their mouths, because these ships were actually engraved with the symbols of other countries, which showed.

They are another batch of trophy of the navy!

In the blink of an eye, the news spread like a whirlwind to the whole Nanyang and even the southeast coast with Manila as the center. Countless shipowners and companies began to be moved, because everyone knows that every time the navy gets the booty, it will take out unwanted ships and materials and sell them. These things are useless to the navy, but for some countries. It is really a good thing for shipowners and merchants, and the price is often less than 30% of the new construction, so every time there is such news, the door of the naval base will be full of people.

Snow didn't care about this kind of small business. If he wanted a boat, he just needed to make a phone call, and what really made him in a daze was a fleet behind the fleet! A fleet composed entirely of warships from other countries! In the center of the fleet, two familiar battleships he had seen in the newspaper made his heart tremble slightly, as if to touch something.

Spanish-class battleships, Alfonso XIII and Hemi I.

That's the battleship of his former motherland!

But now.

Snow sighed. In addition to the two basically intact Spanish-class battleships, there were two French Brittany-class battleships, and the last one was the American's latest Northampton-class heavy cruiser Chester with eight 15-inch cannons.

Even he was surprised. He didn't understand how this new American warship, which was said to have escaped with the Indian Grand Fleet, could be captured, and it was not very serious in terms of injury. If he really wanted to use it, it might take a few months to repair it.

Behind the five battleships, there are more cruisers and small destroyers. Although most of them are injured and some of the decks are submerged in the sea, in the eyes of businessmen like him, these are all money!

There are more and more people on the dock, and even many old people and children are crowded over to watch. This scene makes Snow smile. Under the subtle influence of his emperor's students, both the political axe and the military are used to not letting go of every opportunity to promote themselves. Otherwise, why is there a better and more perfect Su? In the case of Bic base, what about taking these captured warships to the Manila commercial port?

Even he feels that shouting and bragging, in many cases, it is really not as shocking as this kind of oriental "smoistening and silent" philosophy.

After a few words, Snow walked off the dock. He was ready to go back to the company. After seeing two Spanish-class battleships docked at the port, he still chose to stop and watch with everyone.

"Boss, why don't I go to the Subic base to find Commander Yan and ask them to take these two ships away." Fabio is a delicate and observant person. When he saw Snow looking at the two battleships without blinking, he immediately flattered.

"It's okay." Snow waved his hand: "Don't forget that I'm a New Chinese and an imperial baron now. What's more, when you do something, you must be responsible for it. If Spain chooses war, you must learn to bear defeat."

Fabio is the first time to see such a serious moment when he is usually happy, so he quickly said, "Boss, you are right." Snow smiled. As he walked towards the car, a military jeep suddenly stopped next to him. A second lieutenant officer got out of the car and ran to him: "Is it Baron Snow?"

"Yes, are you?"

"Hello, I'm a special commissioner of the Navy Political Department." In order not to cause misunderstanding, the young second lieutenant tried to keep a smile and said, "Mr. Snow, the commander asked me to invite you to the reception. Now the plane is waiting for you at the base."

Commander? Which commander is it?"

"It's our Dragon Commander."

"Dragon, Commander Dragon!" Fabio next to him suddenly exclaimed, who else can be the commander of the navy surnamed Long? After so many years, he also vaguely knew that his boss had a friendship with the upper class, but he didn't expect that he still knew the commander-in-chief of the navy, and even sent a plane to pick him up at the cocktail party. His eyes suddenly became a little crazy.

Snow is also worried. He is not a person like Fabio who doesn't know depth. Although he does have a relationship with the upper class, he is still very strong and powerful. Even his family has lived in Xinhua Garden for a period of time, but he hasn't sent a plane to pick him up for a cocktail party.

What happened?

Why do you suddenly look for yourself?

Snow subconsciously looked at the two Spanish-class battleships, and an idea suddenly rushed from the bottom of his heart!

..“ The Mediterranean Sea is calm, there are many islands, and the coastline is very curved. In terms of environment, it is very suitable for naval operations.

"But it should be noted that both Italy and France have a large number of submarines, and the Allied countries have more than 400 torpedo boats and destroyers in the Mediterranean Sea. Because our radar is not perfect in finding small high-speed targets, it will be dangerous at night!"

"We have screened three goals. The first is Majorca in the Balearic Islands. Majorca Island is located east of the Iberian Peninsula and is a necessary place for Spain to enter the Mediterranean Sea. From the perspective of the environment, it has a good deep-water berth here. If it can occupy it, it will be able to control the west well. Ban Ya!"

In the conference room, Zhang Zuolin went back and forth on the map with a baton.

"The second target is Sicily, which is the largest and most densely populated island in Italy. Both resources and area can ensure the permanent fleet. However, the forces here are complex, and if you control such a large island, it will definitely cause Germany's worries, which is not conducive to us getting along with Germany.

"So, we prefer the third goal."

The baton moved to a small black spot under Sicily, and the tone suddenly increased: "The Maltese Islands!"
