Chapter 34 South Asian Bully

What surprised Yang Feng was that what the British hoped for was not to sell the Glorious Class, but to sell him a Centaur-class aircraft carrier under construction.

In fact, at this time, there were still a bunch of people under construction in the British shipyard. When it comes to the bombing air mom, the British are no worse than the United States. At present, they still have six majestic ships, four centaur class, and three Eagle class being built. They were originally four ships, but fortunately the Malta has not started construction. This is a heavy fleet aircraft carrier larger than the Essex class.

Konimma, now that Japan has surrendered and the war is over, can it be made?

If you don’t have money, the British finances are now supported by the green paper printed by Britanna’s husband! The whole country is in ruins. Where can those noble capitalists in Congress make money for the Navy to continue to build more than a dozen aircraft carriers?

What's more, what was built? Is the empire that has been placed in Portsmouth for people to pay tribute to the passing sun never set?

If you don't build it, the shipyard can't stand it.

The British government’s headache is not only finance, but also the inevitable wave of large-scale unemployment after the industry suddenly switched from a wartime state to a peaceful state. More than a dozen aircraft carriers have provided hundreds of thousands of jobs, and all work has been suspended at once. How many workers are unemployed? What should these unemployed workers do? Because the army has been discharged from the army on a large scale, the domestic employment situation in Britain is very serious. Coupled with the impact of unemployed workers, there will be big problems if they are not done well. You must know that some people are ready to wait for such a thing!

So what the British people want to do most now is to sell these aircraft carriers and then maintain production of those shipyards. It is simple to sell one that was originally planned to be retired, but at most it can be spent on a small amount of money. Putting that little money into Britain's huge fiscal expenditure is just a drop in the bucket, but continuing to build one can have a lot of benefits. Just stabilizing the domestic situation is not something that money can measure.

"Centaur? Why not the Eagle? I remember you still have three Eagle-class under construction, right?" Yang Feng said to Lord Mountbatten, who came to sell in person.

"Well, Master, I don't think you need that big, and Congress may be ready to continue buying them for the Navy," said Mountbatten embarrassedly.

The British were not stupid, so it was no big deal to sell him a Centaur. It was nothing more than a light aircraft carrier of more than 20,000 tons. Even if Yang Feng had it, the British Navy could just trample it to death. In fact, they were still thinking about giving a bald man a ship. This was what they did in history, but the bald man was defeated before he could accept it, and the matter was left alone. This shows that the British people had done their best to maintain the operation of their factories.

But if you sell Yang Feng an Eagle-class ship, it will be different. If this guy has a little ambition in the future, it will not be easy for the British Navy to control him casually. After all, this guy is not a good bird, and the British have to be on guard against him.

"Centaur is Centaur, but it must be handed over to me before 48 years. In addition, before that, you have to rent a Glory class to me so that I can train soldiers while waiting, and return it to you after the new aircraft carrier is delivered." Yang Feng thought for a while and said.

"No problem!" Mountbatten said overjoyed.

"His Excellency, do you need a crew member? We can provide a group of retired naval officers to help you train crew members." He then said.

"Of course we welcome it." Yang Feng said with a smile.

In terms of light cruisers, the British have no restrictions, either one can be used. In the end, he chose two colonial-class ships, with a standard rank of 8,000 and a rank of 10,000, but they must be the original version of the twelve main guns, rather than the simplified version of the nine-gate main guns that were later modified. Although the Southampton class is better, it uses too many people. Now Yang Feng’s principle in weapon selection is that the fewer people, the better.

There is no need to choose destroyers, they just go to the combat level. Anyway, they have more than a dozen of them to be abandoned or demolished directly. They just pick four old ones from the fleet and sell them to Yang Feng, and then pick four of them from the ones that were directly abandoned and built for the navy. This kind of thing is an insignificant little character in the huge royal navy.

As for bombers and fighters, this is also worth mentioning. Even Lincoln-style bombers are all small things, and the Lincoln-style is better. Aphro will be very happy. They are dissatisfied with the drastic cuts of orders from Congress! Fighters directly drew 72 Mustang Ds from the British Air Force. The carrier-based aircraft and the aircraft carrier packed the Sea Fire MK3 together. Even if the pilots were willing, they would just pack them directly. Anyway, the Royal Navy had to retire a large number of carrier-based aircraft pilots.

Of course, this transaction will not be conducted between the Ming Empire and the Kingdom of Britain, but will be purchased from the Kingdom of Britain by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and then resold to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

As for the payment, Yang Feng smiled and took out a gold coin and said on the table: "I'll pay with this."

"Your Excellency, this will cost a huge sum of money, even hundreds of millions of dollars." Lord Mountbatten said with a smile.

Now the British government likes this. Although the Americans have printed a bunch of small green paper for them, the thing that needs to be exchanged for gold depends on the expression of the US government. People who are disobedient will not exchange it for you.

It was nothing more than going to the United States to buy supplies. The end result was to help the United States maintain economic growth. Even if the British government wanted to maintain the gold standard of the British pound, it would have to use small green paper as reserves. Otherwise, they would not have enough gold to maintain the gold standard. Gold would have been purchased from the United States for supplies, and even the currency must be maintained by the US dollar. So what is the difference between Britain and a state in the United States?

"Hundreds of millions of dollars, that is, hundreds of tons of gold?" Yang Feng said with an exaggerated look.

"Yes." Mountbatten nodded.

"Okay, then I'll pay with this!"

Yang Feng waved his hand lightly, and the beautiful bodyguard behind him held a huge gold coin weighing 25 kilograms and smashed it directly in front of Mountbatten. There were four big words on it: "The Great Ming Dynasty Treasure."

Mountbatten swallowed with difficulty.

He didn't know that this guy had saved more than 500 tons of gold and more than 1,000 tons of silver so far. Although this guy has not been able to open the Federal Reserve's vault so far, he has robbed the treasure houses of several ancient European and American families and the vaults of jewelry tycoons, which is enough for him to squander.

He deliberately stuffed gold into European countries.

The hegemony of the US dollar after World War II was actually because gold was concentrated in their hands. European countries must surrender to the United States because they had to lick the American players with the US dollar while begging them to exchange some gold for themselves to rebuild their collapsed monetary system. Keynes planned to be slapped back in the face of the Americans in Bretton Woods because the British did not have enough gold. They waved a gorgeous balloon with only the glory of the past, and were smashed into an illusory bubble by the Americans with an equally huge golden hammer.

What if Western European countries have enough gold in their hands? Then will they resist the Bretton Woods system?

Yang Feng is looking forward to his own experimental results.

In the future, he will continue to throw gold coins all over the world until he pried up the huge vault of the Federal Reserve on the other end of the balance, and at the same time used these gold coins to exchange for himself with powerful force, and then he will press the oil balance that is gradually being crushed by the Americans firmly on the spot, allowing the entire world order to move towards a completely different path.

"Don't worry! There are still decades left!"

The guy looked at Mountbatten's back and left and muttered to himself.

The Lord left in a hurry, not because he was shocked by the twenty-five kilograms of gold coins he had lost, but because an accident or a scandal just happened in Temasek.

More than 100 Japanese military officers above the level of the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army, including General Itagaki, commander of the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army, all fled and disappeared without knowing where to go. Just half an hour ago, the Far East International Military Court had just sent an order to arrest Itagaki for war crimes and escort it to Tokyo for trial.

This is definitely a scandal. Lord Mountbatten was furious. He really didn't understand what the wastes under his command could do. Even a group of prisoners of war couldn't stand it well, especially Itagaki, an important figure in close surveillance, actually walked out with a bad replacement method under the noses of dozens of soldiers!

Of course, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Southeast Asian War Zone, who did not know all this, watched him leave later.

Just as the British and Indian troops in Temasek launched a large-scale search, their target had been sent to the east bank of the Johor River by the fishing boats arranged by Huaji, and then followed a smuggled path into the dense forests of the mountainous areas and headed towards the deserted coast of the eastern Malay Peninsula.

At this moment, the Head of the Ming Empire, who had ended his trip to Temasek, also boarded a British destroyer and returned to Anbuna Island with a happy trip. However, after the destroyer sent him more than 200 kilometers away from Temasek, he encountered the flying ship that came to greet him. Then the head of the head of the flying ship boarded the flying ship and continued to return to his own country. Of course, the sailors on the return destroyer did not know that just after they disappeared from the radar screen, the flying ship turned around and sailed to the east coast of the Malay Peninsula in the dark.

At midnight, the head of the European Bison was on an unmanned deserted island that was not much bigger than it. As the hatch opened slowly, Itagaki led more than a hundred Japanese generals to emerge from the hiding woods.

"Ichigaki, don't be fine!"
