1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 593, the end of the carnival (2)

“Dad, if these things in this plan are really used, I am worried about two things. The first is whether the French will be defeated soon, and the second is that if the war is deadlocked, the Germans will not be able to support it at all. How long. In addition, I noticed that the end of these studies was around 1914. Dad, do you think there might be a war at this time?” Greenstone asked.

“Ah, I think it should be around this time.” Scrooge said, “but you must also understand that even if there is a fight in Europe, we will not immediately join the war. War requires a lot of materials, and we sell these materials in the middle. You can make a lot of money. In addition to the recent incidents that we did in Alaska, I think it is still possible to drag the war until around 1914. As for the French who you are worried about will lose quickly, this is of course One question. So you see, here, we have developed’Salin’ and’Soman’. These two poisons are different from the previous popular poisons. They are toxic to the skin and can poison people through the skin. So. Gas masks or something against them are useless at all. To deal with them, you must have full-body protective chemical protective clothing. Moreover, these poisons can remain deadly poisonous for more than ten hours if they are contaminated in the target area. Soldiers’ uniforms or something. It also adsorbs a large amount of these poisons. Improper handling can easily cause secondary poisoning. Especially the second type of “Soman”, there is almost no specific medicine that can be used for treatment. It is a very ideal mass destruction. Weapons. It’s a pity that it’s difficult to make them. Up to now, we have not completely overcome some of the technological problems of mass production. If the French can’t stand it anymore, we can get the French in some ways. ‘Sha. Lin’ is enough to make them stand the Germans. Of course, we still hope that this kind of thing will not happen.

As for Germany, with their current strength, they can hold on for a long time before draining the last drop of blood. Because, as long as they are well controlled, their opponents, France and England, will look like they are about to drain the last drop of blood. In addition, have you noticed the things mentioned in this document? ”

“Dad, are you talking about the ‘mustard gas’ mentioned in this?” Grey Stone asked.

“Yes, you can look at its various properties, and then compare them with Sha Lin and Soman.” Scrooge said.

Gladstone took several documents together, looked at it for a while, and then replied: “Although this poison is not bad, it seems to be compatible with Sha Lin and Shuttle in terms of performance. Man’s are a lot worse. But compared to’Soman’, it is simpler to prepare, and it can be regarded as a pretty good poison, at least much better than phosgene. But it is still not as good as’Sha Lin’.”

“This kind of thing was developed in reverse after our intelligence personnel obtained some information from Germany.” Scrooge said, “The Germans already have this kind of thing in their hands. In 1822, they created it. This thing came out, but at that time, this thing was just a by-product, and its purity was also very low. It did not attract much attention. By 1886, Mr. Meyer of Germany invented a method of mass production of this thing, but At that time, it did not attract much attention. However, in recent years, with the use of chemical weapons in wars, especially after the British used a large number of chemical weapons on the Boers, almost all industrial countries in the world are going crazy. Researching various poisons. This thing was discovered again by the Germans and protected as top secret. If we had not discovered the value of those things before the Germans, it would be very difficult to get relevant information about them now. According to Germany They have a lot of mustard gas for their chemical industry capabilities, and they can certainly produce more mustard gas quickly if needed. So, what will happen on the battlefield?”

“You mean that if the Germans can’t stand it, they will use this thing a lot? Then, the British and French will suffer heavy losses and it will be difficult to attack?” Greenstone asked.

“This is also one aspect.” Scrooge handed another document to Greystone. “This is what we have learned about the German artillery. The Germans have a large-caliber artillery compared to France and France. The British have obvious advantages. However, these artillery is difficult to move, which will also slow down the speed of their troops. But if used in defensive operations, it is really very powerful. Also, this is some of our research data on submarines and escort tactics. Of course, because it is impossible to actually check it, it can only be done on the map. But here is a document about submarine tactics, which is very interesting, you can look at it. If necessary, throw it to the Germans, maybe it will be good. Effect.”

“Dad, how is the progress of these projects?” Grey Stone asked.

“Sha Lin is fully formed, and so is the mustard gas. Soman is hard to say. But even if it can’t be completed, Sha Lin can basically be used. The design of the Sherlock-type standard transport ship is almost complete. By the time of the war. There is no problem to complete. The research on fighters and bombers will take time. The efficiency of the current bombers is not good enough. Of course, we have a clear advantage in this area compared to European countries. In addition, the research on sonar is also steadily advancing, and there is already The sample, but it is still very unreliable, and the performance is very average. The test we have done with our submarine shows that this thing is basically useless now. But this is not in a hurry. By that time, it should be able to reach the point where it can barely be used. As for other things, basically it can be advanced according to time. There are also related backup plans for important things. In general, there is basically no problem if the node is around 1914.”

“According to the progress in Alaska, oil production can begin in 1912,” said Grey Stone. “So, Dad, we have to prepare for the bubble bursting, and let the bubble burst completely at the end of 1913 or early 1914. So that the war will not be far away. Dad, once the war begins, it will be difficult for the German transport ships to be used. Can we create an opportunity to wait until the beginning of the war to let more German transport ships are trapped in United States. Then we can buy these ships at a fairly cheap price.”

“This is a good idea, and it is possible to realize it. The key is how to control the time when the war breaks out.” Scrooge said, “Do you have any ideas?”

“Making public opinion and disclosing so-called exclusive news is like Bismarck’s operation of the war between France and Prussia?” Greystone started from the propaganda department, and naturally this was the first thing that came to mind.

“Are there other methods?” Scrooge asked again.

“Armed the Serbs and provoked their conflict with Turkey. What do you think?” Greystone asked again.

Today’s Balkans is exactly where the European powers compete for hegemony most intensely. Because now, for some land-powered countries, such as Germany and Russia, the easiest and most likely last colony to be won is Turkey. I think back then, the iron hoof of Ottoman Turkey once made the entire Europe tremble, but after the industrial revolution, the Turks failed to keep up with the wave of the industrial revolution and gradually weakened, so they became the coveted target of a large European power. .

Under the banner of the heir to the Byzantine Empire, the Russians declared that they would protect the rights of the Orthodox brothers under Turkish rule. They launched wars against Turkey again and again, obtained piece after piece of land from Turkey, and even almost “recovered”. The great capital of Byzantium”. If it were not for the involvement of the British and French, perhaps the Aya Sophia Mosque would be called the Saint Sophia Cathedral again, and the flag of the double-headed eagle would once again fly on the Saint Sophia Cathedral.

But the British and French are not here to volunteer. They used the pressure brought by the Russians to Turkey and gained countless benefits from Turkey. Today, the entire Egyptian provinces and most of the Arabian Peninsula have become colonies actually controlled by the British, and the Balkans, which were originally under Turkish control, have also seen a lot of rebellion. Lots of small countries.

For Russia, controlling these small countries can firstly obtain a much-needed market for its struggling economy, and secondly, it can also obtain a better support point for its continued attack on Turkey. Similarly, for the emerging Germany, those lands far away from Europe and those lands that must rely on naval power are still somewhat elusive for the time being. Only Turkey and the Balkans are the targets within reach.

In order to fight against Germany, Britain and France were forced to change their own attitudes and became allies with Russia. The Germans naturally took advantage of the vacancy, replaced Britain and France, and became the protectors of Turkey-this was actually just playing with the British. So Chi, through the pressure of the Russians, forced the Turks to give them more privileges.

“This method is also possible,” Scrooge said. “You can talk to Donald, Big Brother. He has more detailed research on the Balkans and Turkey. Before that, he also made similar suggestions to me. But his target was the Armenians. You know, the Turks launched a massacre against them in 1876. In the Turks’ rule, there are probably not many people who hate Turkey more than the Armenians, and there are not many people like the Armenians. It’s hated by the Turks. Maybe it would be a good way to instigate the Armenian revolution, and then prompt the Turks to launch a massacre.”
