"Gentlemen, I know you don't agree with my suggestions, but I hope you must also be clear. Compared with the Europeans, the energy group is the biggest flood in the world, and the gap in strength between us and them is really huge.

It is too big, and it will be impossible to catch up within a period of time. We must switch to a wartime mechanism. During World War II, our country could produce hundreds of aircraft carriers. Now we don’t know how advanced we are compared to that time.

Times, we can do it." President Moport's impassioned voice did not win much approval. Is this time the same as during World War II?

Their opponent at that time was Fuso, and the productivity gap between them was very huge. However, it can also be seen that the productivity of the Americans was also very strong at that time. If they can really recover to that time, I believe they can compete with the energy group.

A showdown.

From 1941 to 1945, Fuso produced a total of 17 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, 9 cruisers, 63 destroyers, and 147 submarines. During the same period, the United States produced 131 aircraft carriers (including escort carriers) and 10 battleships.

48 ships, 355 destroyers, 498 frigates, and 203 submarines. The gap in production capacity between Japan and the United States can be seen from the number alone. What's more, the number of U.S. main battle aircraft carriers carrying carrier-based aircraft is much higher.

Higher than Fuso (the US military's "Midway" can carry up to 133 aircraft, while the Japanese largest aircraft carrier "Shinano" can only carry 46 due to a lack of carrier-based aircraft). This number difference is also due to

This was caused by the advanced productivity of the U.S. military at that time.

Another important point is the number of destroyers and frigates. As an island country, Fuso mainly relies on its maritime shipping lines to maintain its raw material imports. However, only 63 destroyers were built during the entire World War II (other so-called 'destroyers' were built by Allied standards).

It can only be regarded as a frigate), and the number of its frigates is still unknown (according to unofficial statistics, the number is also very small). However, during the same period, the United States had more than 740 anti-submarine ships built and launched! And there are also

Not including the armed cutters and destroyers that were used to defend its eastern coastline against German submarines. By the end of the war, the U.S. Navy was more powerful than ever. In fact, by 1945, the U.S. Navy was stronger than all the navies of the world combined!

In terms of merchant ships, the number of merchant ships built by the United States in the first four and a half months of 1943 exceeded Fuso's total merchant ship construction in seven years. However, Fuso did not see a particularly significant increase in the number of merchant ships built until 1943. This is probably related to their Pacific War.

Wrong judgments that end in the short term are related to the strategic direction determined.

In the early days of the Pacific War, Fuso had certain advantages in the air force. The Zero fighter was superior to the Allied aircraft of the same type in both quantity and quality. Moreover, Fuso fighter pilots had experienced a large number of battles and were not only well-trained but also had rich combat experience.

, and morale was high. However, as the huge national machine of the United States entered high speed, the advantages of the Fuso Air Force were quickly converted into disadvantages. A large number of aircraft were shot down by the Allies, but the country's production capacity was difficult to make up for in time.

The Allies not only had the upper hand in the number of aircraft. They also continued to introduce new aircraft during the war. By the end of the war, the performance of the US military's aircraft was far superior to that of the Japanese. On the other hand, Fuso basically used the 'Zero' or 'Zero' aircraft during the entire World War II.

Its modification. The 'Zero' type is indeed a very good fighter in many aspects, but by 1943 its performance had obviously lagged behind the new American models (because the Japanese army despised the protection of pilots and only focused on aircraft performance.

, excessive use of wooden materials and skins, the 'Zero' type can easily catch fire after being hit, leading to aircraft crashes and fatalities). About 97,810 of the aircraft produced in the United States are multi-engine bombers (twin or four-engine

), while Fuso only produced 15,117 aircraft (basically twin-engine aircraft). Therefore, whether in terms of the number of aircraft produced or the total aircraft load, the difference between the two countries is very obvious.

From 1941 to 1945, the Japanese army only produced 604 field artillery pieces with a diameter greater than 105 mm and 6,512 artillery pieces of 70-105 mm caliber. During the same period, the United States produced 7,803 heavy artillery pieces and 27,082 other medium-caliber artillery pieces. 1941-1942

.Fuso classified tank production into Class A (the highest level), but due to backward technology and production technology, Fuso only produced 1,065 medium tanks and 1,024 light tanks. However, the United States produced 24,997 medium tanks.

There are 4,052 light tanks. It should be pointed out that during World War II, Fuso's medium tanks were only equivalent to Allied light tanks in terms of gun power and armor thickness. Due to the poor performance of Japanese tanks in battle, by 1943 the number of tanks

Production was downgraded to level D. Fuso not only lacked tanks, but vehicles were also the weakness of the Japanese army. Fuso vehicle production peaked at 47,901 vehicles in 1941, while U.S. automobile production reached 621,502 vehicles in 1943.

In addition to heavy equipment, Fuso's production quantity of other weapons was also seriously insufficient. By the end of 1941, Fuso's arsenal was enough to equip 103 divisions, and the Army's order of battle had 51 divisions and 59 brigades. In the early days of the war, the output of weapons and ammunition of the Army and

The consumption was roughly the same, but as the scale of the war continued to expand, the number of troops increased sharply, while Fuso's weapons and ammunition holdings did not increase significantly. In 1943, the size of the Fuso Army increased from 2.4 million to 3.1 million, while the United States increased from 2.4 million to 3.1 million.

4.15 million people surged to 8.89 million. By the end of the war, although the Japanese army's weapons and ammunition could equip 104 divisions, its combat order reached 171 divisions, which did not include Fuso's large number of paramilitary personnel. During the same period

The Americans are different. Their millions of troops have various generous benefits, and they can also bring a lot of support to the Soviet Union on the European battlefield. These are the results of the United States' super productivity.

.

In the four years since the outbreak of World War II, the United States produced 274,989 aircraft, 6.33 million tons of warships, 27.77 million tons of merchant ships, 41.4 billion rounds of ammunition, and 84,749 tanks. If this production were achieved now, even the energy groups would not be able to deal with them.

Yes, of course, the production of things at that time was relatively simple. It should be very difficult to achieve this productivity now.

"Mr. Mobot, I don't agree with your approach. We all knew what we were capable of during World War II, but the assembly of those things did not require such high technical requirements at that time, but what about now? That is not what we want now.

Productivity can be improved by rapid production." Soon some congressmen expressed dissatisfaction. This thing is like this now. At that time, it might not be as difficult to produce fifteen aircraft as it is now.

"Dear Mr. Bart, if we don't enter this mechanism now, we will be pushed further and further away. Don't tell me about those biological and chemical weapons. Those things will take at least five years to take shape, and maybe even longer.

It seems a bit difficult to build an army that we cannot fully control with hundreds of billions of dollars of funding in five years." Moport was not happy at all about the issue of developing biological and chemical weapons at this time, he felt urgently

These things can no longer become the cornerstone of the Skull and Bones Society. It is enough to fail once, and it must not fail a second time.

"Everyone, I believe you don't have a general idea of ​​the military strength of the Energy Group. Now I will tell you about part of their naval strength. Currently, the Energy Group has 4,601 naval ships of various types. All of these ships have a displacement of 2,000

There are 2,051 ships of more than 4,000 tons and 581 large warships of more than 10,000 tons. These are their current warships. In the next few years, they will launch more than double this number of warships.

What about us? Our naval strength is not even one-fifth that of others. If we add Europa's navy, it can be one-fourth. But what's the use? In the past, we wanted a navy that could reach the world.

, now we seem to be unable to even defend our own home." Mobot said helplessly, many people still haven't realized the gap between them and the energy group.

"I admit that what you said is true, but another problem is that their naval combat strength should not be high. Our navy has been traversing the ocean for hundreds of years. What about his navy? The training may not have lasted more than a year.

How can such a navy fight against our navy?" There are also many people in the organization who have this idea. They no longer pay attention to quantitative advantages, but now also start to talk about qualitative advantages.

"Haha. If the quality is about the same, now everyone should take a look at this fragment. This is some confidential content. It is when our giant octopus attacked the energy group navy. Look at this situation. If our navy also

What kind of situation would it be if we were here?" Mobot knew that these people would definitely not admit defeat if he didn't show them something real, so he asked his men to come up and take a quick look.

The Energy Group Navy on the screen only has two destroyers, but every tactical move they make is very correct, and there is no redundant move. There are many people here who are from the navy. Of course they know what is happening in front of them.

How rare it is. Thinking that there are only a few warships in your navy that have this ability, most of them may not have it. Looking at the quality of the sailors above, almost no one will jump when faced with this thing.

Take a look at the navy in San Diego. If they can stick to their posts, they may not suffer such big losses. In terms of quality, there will definitely be a gap between the energy group and their elites.

.But for the most part, there is absolutely no difference. Even if someone’s army is a little stronger, it’s not a little bit stronger. Maybe it should be more.

"Gentlemen, the energy group's military headquarters has sent an inquiry message. They have decided to set up a new naval base in Cuba. They require three guided missile destroyers, two prevention and control frigates, and five guided missile speedboats to be stationed. The reason is to prevent us from doing it again.

Study the giant octopus." Just when these people were still arguing, a naval officer came in and said, this guy is the new assistant to the commander of the Pacific Fleet recommended by the Skull and Bones Society. Although his position is not very high, this guy belongs to the old guy Anderson.

My great-great-grandson was also a member of the first family before he was born.

"What? What do these damn Huangpi pigs want to do? Are they going to start World War III?" Immediately some hawks couldn't stand it. What a joke, it's a damn place like Cuba.

After so many years, it seems that this place cannot calm down anymore. The missile crisis with the Soviet Union is still fresh in our minds. Now the energy group has taken a fancy to this place again.

"Yes, we need to teach these damn things a lesson, send our aircraft carriers to Asia, and put some pressure on them." These people obviously haven't understood what is going on in this world, and they think the world is the same as before.

, your aircraft carrier is still the largest thing in the world before.

"Gentlemen, what the Energy Group means is that if we don't agree, they will set up a huge maritime city on the high seas of the Caribbean." This sentence made everyone lose their temper. This energy group's huge maritime city

It can accommodate nearly 100,000 people, and various attack weapons are emerging in an endless stream. It can almost blow up a continent in the United States with conventional weapons in an instant. Compared with a few destroyers, if this guy comes over, they may really

There is no sovereignty anymore, and this guy is a mobile airport with two 4,000-meter runways. According to internal reports, he can carry at least 400 various types of ** combat aircraft. Such a thing is absolutely useless to them.

I can't even sleep soundly.

"This is a naked threat, tell them we don't agree with this." Many people were shouting, but a few people representing the highest authority of the Skull and Bones Society did not speak at this time. It was not that they did not want to speak.

But it’s superfluous to say anything at this time. They can’t start a war with the energy group in a hurry. Even if they start a war, they have to wait until they are fully prepared. A few destroyers and frigates can’t be that big.

What you do is, at most, just a nail in front of your own door. But if there is a war, the whole country will go in. In recent years, the energy group has been victorious in every battle. Their soldiers have high morale. Look at ours.

Nothing has gone well in the past few years, and morale is too low.

"Is it okay to let our people move around in Cuba and let them reject the energy group's request? Mobot came up with a way, which is pretty good.

"I'm sorry, sir, the FBI has already tried this method. The local department of the Energy Group gave Cuban executives diamonds worth one billion US dollars, and ensured that the Energy Group purchased more than two million kilograms of tobacco leaves from Cuba every year for production.

The Cubans have surrendered to their health cigarettes." In the past, Americans often used money diplomacy. Now they finally know how helpless this method is, especially for some poor countries, this method is even more difficult.

If it works, Cuba is a completely poor country.

"These damn Cubans, if there is a tsunami, they should be drowned directly. How can they betray their country's sovereignty for such a small thing?" Mobot cursed secretly, and it was too late to curse the Cubans at this time.

There is no use anymore, the most important thing at this time is a good solution.

"We will try our best to prevent this. In this way, Vice President Porter, you should go to China immediately. It would be best if you can meet Li Cong. If you can't meet Li Cong, you should also have a good talk with Li Er and Li Yinluan about this.

Question, tell them this is our sensitive place, and tell them not to mess around." Mobot's reaction speed is still very fast. It is just a plan now, and we must not wait until the energy group puts it into practice. Then we will be in trouble.

, "Also, look at the situation. If they are really tough, you agree to send them warships, but the number must not be too many." It is also necessary to get some benefits at this time, and national interests come first.
