Invincible from the sword

Chapter 501 Is it so magical
What Zhang Lei valued was the P_38 Lightning fighter in the hands of Lao Fan.

The reason why this kind of aircraft is recommended is because the range of this kind of aircraft is very large.

And it's fast.

Although the performance of the Lightning fighter is a little worse than that of the Hellcat, its range is very good among the fighters in the Lighthouse country.

Reached an astonishing [-] kilometers.

Enough for him to fly from Guadalcanal to Rabaul and back.

The distance from Guadalcanal to Rabaul is almost [-] kilometers.

Based on this calculation, among all the aircraft in the Lighthouse Country, only the Lightning Fighter can satisfy this range.

And it was just right.

On the Lightning fighter, at the nose of the plane, there is a [-]mm cannon.

There are two [-]mm heavy machine guns on the wings on both sides of the plane.

And there are a lot of bullets assembled.

All the bullets for the machine guns and heavy machine guns add up to more than [-] rounds.

Compared with the Japanese Zero fighter, the firepower is not generally large.

When Zhang Lei found Lao Fan, Lao Fan was nervously watching the shelling above Hacksaw Ridge.

Spruance's fleet has been bombarding Hacksaw Ridge for more than ten hours.

Lao Fan looked terrified.

This is the first time he has seen such a super-powerful shelling.

Because of the heavy shelling, his headquarters could feel obvious vibrations.

Guadalcanal has a tropical climate.

Hot as hell.

Now under the shelling, the temperature of the entire Guadalcanal island has risen by several degrees.

It reached a staggering 42 degrees.

Now the soldiers of his first marine division are all shirtless.

It's also too hot.

The only thing that can cool down is the delicious Coca-Cola.

The current First Marine Division cannot do without Coke.

A bottle of Coke is filled with tons of tons of tons, not to mention how refreshing it is.

And this kind of cola tastes better when it's chilled.

This is Zhang Lei's suggestion.

Now Stilwell's [-]th Army and Lao Fan's [-]st Marine Division are in great demand for this kind of cola.

In Lao Fan's opinion, the role of this cola is even more important than bullets.

In such a hot weather, if there is no supplement of Coke, many of his soldiers will suffer from heat stroke.

In order to ensure the combat capability of his [-]st Marine Division, Lao Fan strongly urged Nimitz to increase the supply of Coca-Cola.

This request was absolutely affirmed by Nimitz.

Because what Lao Fan said was true.

Nimitz is now on Guadalcanal, and it's getting hot.

Because of the limited conditions, it is very troublesome for a commander like him to take a shower.

If it wasn't for Coca-Cola, Nimitz probably would have to go to a nursing home in the rear.

The Coke produced by Zhang Lei's Coca-Cola Company is a fetish to him.

It was still Stilwell who had the same feeling as Nimitz.

Guadalcanal is not far from Kangaroo Country.

The climate in Kangaroo Country is not very good either.

There are large grasslands and deserts.

Stilwell was very uncomfortable with this climate.

Moreover, the water in Kangaroo Country is extremely hard and always smells like iron foam.

Not sure if it's because of too much iron ore.

Since Zhang Lei's Coke was included in the supplies, Stilwell refused to drink any more water.

Whenever I feel thirsty, I just open a bottle of Coke.

One bottle at a time is just right.

The cola produced by Zhang Lei's company is all [-]ml.

One bottle doesn't feel like too much.

My stomach doesn't feel bloated at all.

Very enjoyable.

Stilwell consumed an astonishing twenty bottles of Coke a day.

He still keeps it.

If there were enough Cokes, Stilwell felt he could make fifty bottles.

The soldiers under him are limited to five bottles a day.

This is simply not enough for those young soldiers.

He Stilwell was just right one bottle at a time.

But for those young soldiers, it was two bottles at a time.

Joint stumbling children do not fight.

Alas, young people don't know temperance at all.

Stilwell's Sixth Army had 20 troops.

The amount of Coke consumed on a daily basis is staggering.

The six division commanders under him repeatedly suggested to Stilwell to increase the supply of Coke.

It is best that the daily supply of Coke for each soldier can reach [-] bottles.

This is very important to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

Because Stilwell's combined forces were under Marshall's command, he made specific demands on Marshall.

In logistical supplies, Coke must be given priority.

And Nimitz's telegram to Nestor basically requested the same.

For this request, Nestor, of course, raised his hands in favor of it.

This kind of request doesn't even need to be reported to Wheelchair Luo.

He can make his own decisions.

With a big wave of his hand, Little Grumman came over to sign the latest purchase contract.

Marshall was dumbfounded.

Is this Coke so magical?
Why didn't he know there was such a thing?
In Wheelchair Luo's office, Marshall asked Wheelchair Luo: "Old Wheel, what is this Coke?
Why am I not impressed at all?

Is there such a thing in our logistics supplies? "

Wheelchair Luo shrugged his shoulders.

Eyes glanced at Marshall.

"Old horse, I didn't say you.

Your news is too closed.

The importance of cola is now greater than that of weapons and ammunition.

The places where our soldiers fight are basically in very hot places.

At the beginning, many soldiers suffered from heat stroke because they were not used to the hot climate.

This non-combat attrition has put a lot of pressure on our commanders.

This magical cola greatly improved the heat stroke of our soldiers.

Marshall, you don't know about such an important material.

Oh, God!
You really should study harder. "

Wheelchair Luo's words made Marshall's old face blush.

After granting Stilwell's request, Marshall decided to investigate.

Look at this Coke, what the hell is it.

Now Zhang Lei's Coke factory has undergone two expansions.

Coke is produced every day, reaching a staggering 1000 million bottles.

But even so, it still cannot meet the needs of the Lighthouse State troops.

At the same time, the demand for the Coke produced by Zhang Lei Company in the lighthouse country is also rising steadily.

Local people in the Lighthouse Country are very keen on this kind of bubbling drink.

Even if you are in a wheelchair, you will have a bottle when you are free.

The Coke factory is run by Grumman Jr.

He was in a hurry.

It doesn't even care about its own Grumman Airlines.

All of Grumman's energy was devoted to the Coke factory and Johnson & Johnson.

Too busy to take off.

Just for the Coke factory, the current order exceeds 200 million US dollars.

This is still current.

Little Grumman's jaw almost dropped in shock.

This drink is actually more profitable than his fighter.

Although a bottle of drink is only a few tens of cents, it cannot hold up to a large quantity.

Moreover, the cost of producing beverages is almost zero.

In addition to the initial investment in fixed assets, there is almost no input in raw materials.

Of course, Grumman Jr. still doesn't quite know what the formula of this drink is.

Before Zhang Lei left the Lighthouse Country, he had people grind all the raw materials into powder.

When producing, just pour the powder into the blender, then add the syrup.

Then flush with water and inject carbon dioxide.

Just fine.

The production process is simple and mysterious.
