Chapter 849 Ghost Emergency Power
The loud sound of the car horn opened a new day in Yanjing City. Sitting in a special bulletproof jeep, Chen Ping was thinking about the telegram he had just received.
The scenery outside the window is both strange and familiar. Thanks to the concepts of environmental protection and urban planning brought by the emperor, there are almost no traces of industry in the old Yanjing City, where the original taste has been preserved, but this does not mean that this century-old capital has not changed.
All kinds of shops, neat asphalt roads, street trees and trams, and the second electrified subway underground in China have quietly started, which will greatly increase the traffic carrying capacity of the capital and make it more convenient for citizens to travel.
Only when 500 million people flow can the country gradually develop. If it is still as old and dead as before, then even if the political axes work hard, it will be a pool of dead water. That's why the primary infrastructure construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China began was to repair roads, from railways to highways, from inter-provincial to inter-city, to the sea, on the river to the recent rise of the air and postal transportation industry.
Everyone is a drop of blood. Only when all the blood in the body is circulated can we promote healthy growth. If it dies, the body will collapse sooner or later. Coupled with the increasingly perfect means of communication and information exchange, the country has changed rapidly.
Originally, this kind of development was not too fast in the world. Before the war, both the United States and Germany were out of reach of Xinhua, but God fairly gave this suffering nation a chance to catch up.
The century-old industrial revolution, the prosperous period of Europe and the United States more than 20 years before the war, finally stopped in this unprecedented war. Although there are no detailed statistics, one thing is certain, that is, the whole European and American society has made a major setback because of this war, the most serious of which is Russia, the United States and France. Country.
Needless to say, Russia, if there is no big surprise, it will be difficult to really get rid of the suffering of the civil war in the next five years, and it is very likely to return to the agricultural society! Because France is the main battlefield in Europe, more than 10 million troops gallop on the Great Plains of France, and the serious destruction is rare in the world.
The United States originated from the descendants plan of the staff. In the final stage of the descendants plan, the destruction of American industrial capacity, the destruction of infrastructure, and the large-scale arrest of scientific and technological talents and university professors are already being implemented. Even now that the logistics has begun to be overstretched, these actions are still strong enough, and now they are committed every day. Bombs to the United States are more than 1,500 tons, which does not include all kinds of shells and explosives. If the total amount is added up, more than 10,000 tons of explosives will be consumed every day.
This logistical requirement is difficult to support even for Xinhua, which has experienced a ten-year reserve period, so the North American Theater Command retains several U.S. arsenals, forcing American workers to work overtime, using all seized U.S.-made ammunition, and purchasing from neutral countries such as Chile, Brazil and Argentina. After a large amount of ammunition and explosives, it was barely enough to maintain the high-intensity need.
The huge pressure on logistics is indescribable on paper, and just one data can explain everything.
Before the war, the emperor purchased and built hundreds of tons of tons of ships by various means. At that time, most of the utilization rate of these ships could be said to be serious losses. After the beginning of the war, he launched the Fast Xinhua Ship project and captured a total of about 300 ships on board. The total tonnage of the super fleet with nearly 1,000 ocean-going ships even exceeds the current total loss of Britain, France and the United States!
And such a fleet seems to be overstretched after continuous long-distance battles, so you can imagine how much this battlefield is involved!
Although no shell fell on the mainland during the whole war, and the loss of troops was far less than that of European countries, the total amount of logistics almost reached the sum of Germany and France. If it hadn't been for a ten-year reserve, the battle would have been lost without fighting.
As the chief of staff of the three armed forces, he is actually the first person in the military, and he himself knows very well that this country has reached its limit!
This is not to say that there is no money, but that the manufacturing and logistics have been seriously overdrawn, so not long will it take for the emperor to end his solemn inquiry not long ago.
Today, the telegram in hand can finally have a satisfactory answer.
France is doomed!
From the moment Pengalle boarded the plane, it has taken nearly four years from the beginning to now, involving four continents, involving a population of nearly 1.5 billion, and a huge war with a total cost of about 350 billion blue coins will finally come to an end.
Half an hour later, the jeep drove into Xinhua Garden. Today, when the garden came into sight, Chen Ping had an indescribable taste in his heart. Only those who had experienced it knew what the person living here had brought to this country!
After asking the guard, Chen Ping shook his clothes, as if he had shaken off the great pressure and support after the war.
When he walked into the study with lightness and self-confidence, the scene in front of him couldn't help but make him laugh. He only saw Emperor Li lying on the table, boringly pinching more than a dozen "silver beans" and piling up there, just like the children's favorite building blocks, playing happily.
"Ha ha, emperor, when did you like silver beans? I heard that there are still nearly 10,000 tons of silver stored in the United States. Why don't I let people move them all over for you after the war."
"Haha."
Hearing Chen Ping's funny words, Li Mo stopped fiddling and laughed, "It turns out that our staff leader has a small appetite. This is not done yet. It's another idea. If Melkin knows this, guess he will simply sink into the Great Lakes?"
"I'll fish it out when it sinks." Chen Ping slit his lips. The world's largest silver reserve established by the United States relying on the gold and silver standard before the war is fake. Even today, when the value of silver is constantly depreciating, nearly 10,000 tons of silver is an irreparable huge number, so he immediately laughed and said, "Such a large amount of silver is comfortable to look at."
"That's right, but Yuanshou, you guessed wrong today. I'm not a silver bean."
"Oh?" Chen Ping took two steps forward and pinched one of them to find that the shape was extremely irregular and harder than silver. He was immediately asked in surprise, "This is it."
"Silicon, silicon metal."
"This is metal silicon, which is what you said, the emperor, can be engraved with micro circuits on it, so that the machine can become a very small semiconductor material?" Holding the metal silicon ingot, Chen Ping immediately widened his eyes.
He didn't understand this thing, but because Li Mo said it when he chatted, and now worshipped the "prophecy", so he heard that this was the material that could be engraved with the circuit, and thought that Li Mo had said at that time that it was one of the most important high technologies in the future, he immediately became curious.
"Full?"
Li Mo secretly pulled his stomach, but it was difficult for him to explain what an integrated circuit was. After all, that thing could not be achieved by the current technology, so he had to laugh and said, "You really dare to think that that kind of silicon is different from this kind of silicon. This is what Mrs. Curie's basic materials laboratory has just come out for me. As I said before, it should be called monocrystalline silicon, which is not the same thing. There is no need to think about the purity and processing process in 20 or 30 years.
"Twenty or thirty years? This is really going to be hard work.
"Why do you think it's too long? Let me tell you, this is still a short story, but you are right. Monocrystalline silicon is one of the core parts of semiconductor technology, so no matter how much time and effort it takes, we must do it! Because this little thing is the same as we do rockets and nuclear technology, which are all important foundations to ensure our technological leadership.
Li Mo's expression was extremely serious when he said this. Even Chen Ping could hardly see that he would attach so much importance to a technology. Although he didn't understand these, with his understanding of Li Mo, he knew that this might really be an extremely important thing, so he also secretly remembered the new term monocrystalline silicon and hid a small piece of metal silicon. Keep your pocket as a souvenir.
Unexpectedly, this action was seen by Li Mo. He immediately laughed and scolded, "I said that my chief of staff is just a metal silicon. You won't take it yourself without asking, will you?" I can tell you that I want to keep this thing for collection. There is no door. Take it out quickly.
Chief of Staff Chen opened a ha, patted his military uniform pocket as if he didn't hear Emperor Li's protest. He smiled and said, "Isn't it too lazy to go to the Ministry of Science and Technology for a walk? I have to ask the emperor for a souvenir."
"Get out of here." Emperor Li stared angrily at the chief of staff, who was getting more and more of the shadow of the Dragon Kingdom. After putting away all the remaining metal and silicon ingots, he asked, "Tay it, what's the matter?"
When it comes to business, Chen Ping also put away his playfulness. He immediately took out the telegram he had just received and handed it to Li Mo. He officially saluted in an excited voice and said, "Your Majesty, we have harvested the future of France."
"Really!"
Li Mo suddenly grabbed the telegram. Before he could look through it, Chen Ping had continued to say, "Pengalle, Vivianni, Fuxu and several other senior officials, together with their families, there are a total of 117 people, nearly half of whom have been brought to Malta by plane, and the rest are currently in the west. It is expected that Gu Junhuo can receive them in two days at most.
"Great!"
After listening to this, Li Mo slapped the table fiercely to express his excitement. Others did not understand, but he was very clear why the United States in later generations liked to adopt political prisoners so much in order to find an excuse to intervene in those countries.
Emperor Li from later generations learned this essence, so he not only adopted Nicholas II, but now he also planned to control Pengal and others.
Although Xinhua will not enter France to fight against Germany now, it is also impossible for Germany to control France for a lifetime. With the prestige and connections of Pengalle, even if they are far away, it can still affect the domestic situation in France. Now it is certain that after the war, France will still take the capitalist road, because Germany will never allow two red centralizations to attack itself. As long as the capitalist liberal system is implemented, the influence of political parties cannot be ignored. Now that these people are mastered, it is equivalent to choosing among the domestic political parties in France in the future. A spokesperson!
"Let Rong Kie welcome them."
"The Speaker?" Chen Ping was stunned at first, but he instantly understood Li Mo's cleverness. If he came forward to the Prime Minister's Office or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it would be equivalent to officially announcing the position of Xinhua Political Axe, which could not be explained to Germany. The speaker represents the power of political parties, which can not only block Germany's mouth, but also establish a good relationship with these parties and lay a good foundation for post-war party cooperation. It is really killing two birds with one stone!
Just as the two were discussing how to arrange these French "guests" and how to deal with a series of problems such as post-war France, the rapid sound of running suddenly came in from the outside, turning around to see that it was Li Xiufeng, whom they had not seen for a long time.
"Your Majesty, urgent telegram from the North American war zone."
"Emergency telegram?" Li Mo looked at Chen Ping, and a very bad feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. He immediately slowly got up and asked, "What happened?"
Li Xiufeng took a deep breath: "It's from a ghost! They found some anomalies.
"What!"
