There is no need to describe the horror of the iron tiger. How many people have lost their homes because of the iron tiger!

It can be said that those invincible landlords and small and medium-sized capitalists have been wiped out piece by piece.

However, the market has also created new rich people. These new rich people are a group of investors who have retreated bravely and managed to flee before the last feast. [

However, although there are quite a few of these investors, they are too few compared to those destroyed landlords and small and medium-sized capitalists.

This time, when we talk about railway investment again, ordinary people are indeed afraid.

However, the five remaining railway companies have begun to issue value-added stocks. The so-called value-added stocks mean that if there is an expected value-added, the value-added part can be distributed to investors as dividends.

The profits of the five railway companies controlled by Jiangyu's 'warlord oligarch consortium' are rising steadily.

The railways all over the country are very busy every day. There are really too many goods to be transported, so the railway operating price has to be announced to increase.

However, after raising the railway operation price, it still cannot be transported.

Although the freight rate has risen, the problem is that the profit of commodities is also rising steadily, just like shipbuilding. Before World War I, shipbuilding may only have a small profit. Now, just build a ship that is not too big, and there is a profit of 200. If If it is a [-]-ton ship, the profit will be even higher.

In all other industries, profit margins continued to widen due to World War I.

Although the shipping cost has increased, it is still affordable.

However, under the control of the consortium, the railway is still given priority to transportation for the consortium. Those private enterprises have no choice but to use cars for transportation.

Car shipping costs, although more expensive, are now affordable.

Now at this time, almost as long as there is production, the manufacturers will not worry about selling it.

This in turn led to a rapid increase in the demand for automobiles. At the same time, because major banks only provided loans to consortium companies and East China Chambers of Commerce at this time, private companies could not get loans, so they could only vigorously raise funds locally.

Batch after batch of local joint ventures have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in various places.These enterprises have a strong local nature and are generally led by local people with high morals and high prestige. The common people invest some money in each household, which digests a large amount of private funds.

Iron and steel smelting has also grown rapidly amidst such an investment boom, and many regions have set off a wave of large-scale steel smelting.

Although the local people's joint steelmaking enterprises are somewhat impulsive in nature, and the planning of resource utilization is not so detailed, which wastes a lot of resources, but the technology is still passable.

In order to ensure that no scrap steel was smelted, Jiang Yu also sent technical personnel from the consortium to all over the country to provide technical guidance to those private steel factories.

The rapid development of steelmaking has also led to coal mining, and several small coal mines have sprung up across the country.

Although these small coal mines have low capital and low mining efficiency, they have made a huge contribution to the increase in coal production, and local coal mines are sold locally, eliminating the problem of transportation. [

Jiang Yu is also providing technology for those small coal mines as much as possible, and asking the government to strengthen the safety supervision of coal mine mining.

Now is an extraordinary period, and these small coal mines can be tolerated for the time being. After this period, it will be necessary to rectify and reform, and all unqualified coal mines will be closed.

In addition, the iron ore along the railway line began to be mined one after another. After 1915, the national steel production increased sharply, which greatly alleviated the shortage of steel.

仅仅一年之中，钢铁产量就从1914年的280万吨增长到了500万吨，加上日本在朝鲜建设起来的钢铁厂的40万吨钢铁产量被中国攫取，15年朝鲜钢铁产量增长到了60万吨，同时1915年中国还从美国那里进口了200万吨钢铁，15年一年中国的制造业、工程所消耗的钢铁达到了近800万吨。

And because of rising steel prices, China only built 15 kilometers of railways in 7, and the total length of China's railways rose to [-] kilometers.

On the contrary, highways are developing rapidly, and the automobile manufacturing industry is developing even more crazily.

……

Indochina Peninsula, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, these are pieces of fertile land. Chinese businessmen flocked out of China at the end of 14.

These businessmen are like tigers out of the gate, buying minerals in these areas.

Chinese businessmen have a lot of money in their hands, and those minerals seem to be free of money, and there are large areas in a circle, and after the minerals are circled, local workers are hired for construction immediately.

In these areas, except for the higher labor costs in Australia, the labor costs in other areas are very low. Although these mines are mainly mined by manpower after construction, they also have a lot of profits.

Some Chinese businessmen simply set up steel factories locally.

The labor force of those Nanyang monkeys and Indian asan is equivalent to being seized by China, and they share the labor force of China's raw material mining.

After a large amount of investment was invested, these aborigines and assams also had money in their hands, and their demand for commodities increased. The commodities shipped from China were almost sold out as soon as they arrived.

The silver continued to flow back to China.

China used the silver to continue buying minerals.

Britain and France don't care about China's commercial activities in these areas at all. At this time, for Britain and France, as long as they can win this war, any price is gradually felt that they can pay.

……

The war in Europe has deviated far from the expectations of the United Kingdom, and also deviated from the expectations of the Allies. After Germany attacked France, the Battle of the Marne broke out.

Both sides made great mistakes in the Battle of the Marne, which eventually led to the failure of Germany's offensive, while Britain and France did not take advantage of the mistakes to pursue the victory, allowing Germany to stabilize its defense and preserve its vitality.

In the Battle of the Marne, both the Anglo-French Allied Powers and Germany used bombers, a new type of military weapon.

But because the performance of bombers in this era is not very high, both the Allies and Germany cannot equip a large number of aircraft like China to make up for the lack of quality, so bombers have little impact on the war situation. [

However, Germany took the lead in using fighter jets in the Battle of the Marne. When hordes of German fighter jets appeared on the battlefield, British and French bombers became roast turkeys.

The name of these German fighter jets is "Fokker Fighter", which is produced by Yuanhua Group. The design drawings are provided by Jiang Yu, and the specific manufacturing is completed by a designer named Fokker. It is roughly the same as the Fokker fighter used in Germany in history. , but with some improvements, the performance is even better.

Most of the pilots who fly these fighter jets are from China. China sent [-] pilots to Germany before. The main task of these pilots is to fly fighter jets.

There are also Fokker fighter jets in China, but they are called "Goshawk fighter jets". These Chinese pilots have received fighter pilot training before going to Germany, and have a wealth of theoretical guidance in air combat, but they lack air combat experience.

After arriving in Germany, the so-called air battle turned into a one-sided massacre.

British and French fighter jets are mostly imported from China. These Chinese pilots are familiar with the performance of those bombers, and Britain and France have no fighter jets.

Within a week of using fighter jets in Germany, these tough Chinese fighter pilots shot down more than 300 Allied bombers in air battles.

Then Germany sent bombers to bomb the British and French bomber airports, destroying more than 300 bombers.

Britain and France called these German fighter jets the "Fokker disaster". As one plane was shot down and German bombers dropped bombs in the sky, Britain and France had to urgently import bombers from China.

Prior to this, Britain and France had urgently ordered thousands of aircraft, and bought out most of the aircraft of the Chinese Air Force.

The sale price of these planes was three times the original purchase price of the Air Force, and Britain and France also bought them simply, who made them rich and powerful.

And now that the war is raging, the financial resources of Britain and France are still abundant.

These planes were quickly transported to the French front by large cargo ships, while German submarines were concentrated in the Atlantic and Mediterranean regions, and dozens of ships carrying these planes were sunk.

At this time, German submarines had already killed the Quartet in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Historically, Germany had only more than 200 submarines after the start of World War I. At this time, Germany had increased to [-] due to the export of Chinese submarines.

Three hundred submarines are scattered across the Atlantic Ocean like a pack of wolves. Every day there is news that Britain has been sunk. However, the early German submarine tactics are not yet proficient, and they have certain concerns about sinking ships, so they often lose opportunities. The sinking of British merchant ships was not too serious, and it did not reach a frightening level.

However, the United Kingdom has begun to place orders from shipyards around the world. That is a large number of orders. At this time, China has received orders for the manufacture of 20-ton merchant ships from the United Kingdom. Obviously, this order will continue to increase.

In order to deal with German fighter jets, the British are also thinking hard about fighter jets, but what they can't figure out is how those machine guns avoid the aircraft propellers.

It was not until June 1915 that a German fighter jet made an emergency landing behind the British and French positions, and the British and French obtained the device on the fighter jet, and the secret was learned by the British and French.

Previously, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, Britain and France had to send bombers to the battlefield under the threat of German fighter jets.

When Britain and France acquired fighter jet technology, more than half of the more than 2000 bombers purchased from China had been lost, and only more than 600 remained.

Some were lost in transit, but most were sunk by fighter jets or bombed by German bombers.

The number of China's aircraft exports far exceeds that of the United States. American bombers are not well-known at all, and their development time is relatively late, and their performance is not as good as that of Chinese bombers.

In addition to China's export of aircraft to the Allies, the Allies also placed a large number of arms orders with China.

Many Chinese factories no longer produce the original civilian goods, but use the machines to produce arms, and even many small shops producing arms have appeared all over the country.

Medicines are the most ordered by the Allies, especially guns.

In the European war, when the two sides fight, the guns don't cost money.

In terms of pharmaceutical production, China has the most advanced technology, and its profits are also higher than that of the United States. At this time, most factories in the United States use steam engines for production.

The production technology of American factories is not advanced, and is still at the level of the first industrial revolution, while the second industrial revolution has relatively few electrified equipment.

In contrast, although there are not many factories in China, most of them are the products of the second industrial revolution, and their production efficiency is much higher than that of American factories.

At this time, the American ocean-going merchant ships were only about 200 million tons, and the tonnage of China's ocean-going merchant ships also increased to more than 100 million tons through the displacement of chartered ships.

The trade between the United States and the United Kingdom goes through the Atlantic Ocean, while China takes the Mediterranean route.

However, Chinese merchant ships seldom personally transport goods to Europe. Chinese ocean-going merchant ships mainly sell goods to British and French colonies and ship back raw materials.

At the same time, Chinese merchant ships are still exporting to the United States and importing steel from the United States.

Sometimes when China transports goods to France, it also transports some food, medicine, textiles and other commodities, and arms are absolutely not transported.

German submarines will not attack Chinese merchant ships when they see Chinese merchant ships.

And because of the continuation of the war, Russia began to place a lot of orders to China, and these orders were mainly arms for infantry units.

Because many soldiers mobilized in Russia don't even have rifles!

Medicine is even scarcer.

The trade between China and Russia is carried out through the Middle East Railway. The goods are directly transported from the main railway lines in China to the Northeast, and then directly transported to Russia from the Middle East Railway in the Northeast.

In order to shorten the transportation route, Russia and China quickly negotiated a railway from Xinjiang, China to the lower reaches of the Volga River.

This railway did not run in the alpine region, but passed through Kazakhstan in later generations and was directly transported to the lower reaches of the Volga River.

The railway was built by China, and Russia generally contributed half of the shares.

"The Russians are still invincible now. This railway will create good supply conditions for China to occupy Kazakhstan in the future." Jiang Yu secretly thought about the mentality of the Russians.

Russia now still thinks that China is the same. Although China defeated Japan, Russia itself does not recognize Japan as a powerful country.

It's no big deal that China can beat Japan.

And this time, the place where the Sino-Russian railway is built is in the Kazakhstan region. From there, the railway will be connected to the European part of Russia, which is absolutely flat.

Russia doesn't think China has the guts to start a war with them there.

Even the Russians are waiting to resolve the war in Europe, and are thinking of invading Xinjiang, China from the Sino-Russian Railway.

The European war is a long-term gamble for Russia, and it is believed that this is a war that will be won soon, and Russia will benefit greatly by then...

It's just that Russia's wishful thinking was a bit outrageous. After Germany failed in the Battle of the Marne, it had decided to focus its main attack on the Eastern Front.

For this reason, the Russian army on the Eastern Front did not have the smooth sailing at the beginning.

Just as the Europeans were fighting each other, China's military operations against Japan were launched again.

The sea, land and air forces are preparing for the landing operations on the Penghu Islands. At this time, the Penghu Islands are still under the occupation of the Japanese army. The Japanese army in Penghu has no support from the Japanese mainland. It is not a big problem to take Penghu.

But next, the Ryukyu Islands will be 'liberated'.

Of course, the bombing of Japan has also started again...
