Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 882 South America(9)

Looking at the Bermuda Islands on the map, Yannick couldn't help but think of the "Top Ten Unsolved Mysteries", "The Unsolved Mysteries of the World" and other books he loved to read as a child. Every time he read the Devil's Triangle, Strange stories such as the Loch Ness Monster and crop circles made me feel supernatural and magical. I even secretly vowed to never go near this terrifying Devil's Delta when I grew up, lest I become an alien experiment.

As a result, when I grew up, I discovered that these were all fake and rumors, which completely ruined people's outlook on life.

Smiling to himself, he suddenly thought of a rather interesting idea. He took out paper and a brush and scribbled on several pages before looking for Reinhard. "Reinhard, I have a mission for you."

"Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task!" Reinhard took the paper handed over by Yannick and read it quickly, but couldn't help being stunned. "Your Highness, what is this?"

Yannick smiled. "It's just some money-making ideas." Although using the power of the Imperial Intelligence Agency is indeed overkill, these ideas will definitely make money in the future.

Take the "Loch Ness Monster" as an example. Since being labeled as a "water monster", the originally ordinary Loch Ness has become more mysterious, bringing tens or even hundreds of millions of economic value to the local area every year. Tourists even claim to have seen "water monsters" every year. The vivid descriptions easily attract more tourists to visit and take vacations. Subsequently, various water monsters appeared all over the world, such as Changbai Mountain Tianchi water monster, Kanas water monster, Tongshan Lake water monster, Kenwei Island water monster, etc. These water monsters have attracted many tourists without exception.

There are also those strange crop circles (in the 1980s, crop circles began to appear frequently in fertile fields in Australia, Europe and other regions, mostly near famous local scenic spots and wonders. At first, the strange circles were just a simple combination of circles, and people were surprised by them. Because of the huge graphics, or complaining about where the bad guys come from to cause trouble in the wheat fields late at night. However, as more and more crop circles are discovered, the graphics of crop circles have become more and more complex. Not only do they have various geometric shapes in an orderly manner, The combination, the overall graphic is as exquisite as a work of art on a wheat field). Because of the appearance of these strange circles, the local tourism industry can earn hundreds of millions of pounds every year.

Yannick couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart that anyone who could come up with these ideas is simply a marketing genius.

United States Washington.

Senior U.S. officials learned that the destroyer on which Cuban General Saldivar and his ambassador to Cuba were traveling was missing.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, it should have been sunk by a German submarine." Because more and more German ghost submarines are wandering near the US coastline, and the German army is conducting unrestricted submarine warfare, whether it is a warship or a civilian ship, once discovered It will sink, so almost no American ships dare to go to sea.

"This stupid guy." Marshall said with disdain. They asked General Saldivar to hold on to the end, but in the end, this cowardly guy left Cuba alone and ran away, including his own ambassador. I don’t know what this guy is thinking. He has to escape by boat. If he takes a boat, just take a boat. You can even pretend to be a fishing boat or something like that. He has to take a destroyer. If the Germans don’t hit you, who will they hit?

"The defenders of Guantanamo have been completely wiped out, and the Bahamas have also been landed by German troops." Bad news comes one after another.

"Damn it." This situation is getting more and more serious. As mentioned before, Cuba is known as the "Key to the Gulf of Mexico." Whoever occupies this place is equivalent to controlling the southern United States. "We must step up our efforts to build the southern defense line."

Vice President Truman sighed deeply. "It seems that we have to continue to issue war bonds." President Roosevelt and President Willkie issued a total of 38 billion US dollars in war bonds. Thinking about the funds needed to invest in the Atlantic Defense Line and the Pacific Defense Line, which had just begun construction, Vice President Truman only felt that Suffocated.

As mentioned earlier, during World War II in the original time and space, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a total of 8 issues of Treasury bonds specifically to finance war expenses. More than 85 million people participated in the purchases, raising approximately US$185.7 billion in funds. But at that time, the United States still had wool to harvest from the United Kingdom and Latin American countries, and it still held nearly half of the world's gold reserves. But today, there is no hard currency such as gold and silver in the national treasury. Just piles of European foreign exchange.

After sighing, Vice President Truman remembered another thing. "How is the situation in Miami? Do residents there need to be evacuated?"

Miami is the second largest city in Florida, United States. Before the outbreak of World War II, Miami experienced amazing development: as early as the beginning of the 19th century, Miami authorities allowed gambling and were very lax in prohibiting alcohol control. As a result, tens of thousands of people immigrated to the Miami area from the north of the United States, setting off a construction boom. Areas that were previously uninhabited became full of high-rise buildings. Some of the earliest buildings were knocked down after only ten years of construction to make way for larger structures.

After the outbreak of World War II, the U.S. government took advantage of Miami's strategic position on the east coast of the country and built many bases, supplies, and communication facilities around it.

"Residents don't have to..." Marshall couldn't help but smile bitterly. After the last time the German army bombed New York on a large scale and burned New York City to the ground, residents of other big cities had already fled the city, and naturally the same was true of Miami. But there was no guarantee that the Germans wouldn't bomb the city. After all, Miami is only 200 kilometers away from the Bahamas. If the German army built an air base in the Bahamas, bombers taking off from there would be able to fly over Miami in less than thirty minutes. "We are moving strategic supplies. General Arnold, can you send a group of anti-aircraft guns to the vicinity of Miami?"

Commander Arnold nodded. "Recently, 10 anti-aircraft guns have just come off the production line and can be transferred to Miami."

Although the quantity of 10 anti-aircraft guns was not large, it was a five-day output. After all, the production difficulty of small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and large-caliber anti-aircraft guns is not at the same level.

Take Germany during World War II as an example. The old German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall designed and developed the Flak 40 128mm heavy anti-aircraft gun. This anti-aircraft gun began mass production in 1939 and entered the army in 1940. However, due to the complex process and high cost, until the end of the war, the number of its equipment was only between 1125 and 1129. In the same World War II, the output of 20mm anti-aircraft guns produced by Germany exceeded 140,000, and the output of 88mm anti-aircraft guns exceeded 21,000. In comparison, the output of 128mm heavy anti-aircraft guns was only a fraction, which also indirectly illustrates the difficulty of manufacturing large-caliber heavy anti-aircraft guns. .

The process of the American 150mm anti-aircraft guns is naturally more complicated than that of the 128mm, and the production is more difficult. Two guns a day is already the maximum production speed.
