Chapter 230 Yang Feng's Loma

Boss Yang's account review work was soon over. In the past six months, the business conditions of the consortium were good. Amazon Mining was still in the investment stage. Under the protection of the mercenaries of Umbrella Company, his mining engineers have obtained the mining rights for several gem mines in Brazil, especially the tourmaline mine in Paraiba, which is now preparing for large-scale mining.

Although Brazil's gem industry was already controlled by major mining giants at this time, Amazon Mining would not have any resistance to intervening. The reason is very simple. Brazil, which produces gems, also produces terrible diseases such as cholera and malaria, while the sulfonamide sold by JY company, is a life-saving thing.

These things are more effective than mercenaries there. According to Yang Feng's request, Amazon Mining also gave these medicines free of charge to the indigenous people while prospecting. Whoever dares to make things difficult for Amazon Mining, it is estimated that those life-eating fans will barbecue him.

Yang Feng also publicly announced that the Yanhuang Laboratory is developing an oral cholera vaccine, which will be developed successfully soon. At that time, humans will completely get rid of this kind of disease. In this case, the Brazilian government will have to serve him more carefully.

Among other companies, Quantum Fund has just received a $5 million investment from his uncle. Coupled with his gains in the US stock market during this period, the total value of funds and stocks that can be controlled has reached nearly $80 million.

"The next investment focus is to shift to American military-industrial enterprises, especially the army's weapons manufacturing and shipbuilding industries, and be prepared for long-term investment." Boss Yang said in a wise tone like the stock god.

The U.S. Army’s weapons manufacturing and shipbuilding industry are in a difficult situation. The U.S. Army has a total of 200,000 people. To put it bluntly, Yang Feng’s own troops are larger than that of the U.S. Army. Just thinking about it can understand what life the U.S. Army’s weapons manufacturing industry is.

As for the shipbuilding industry, it is even more pitiful. A cruiser can be built for several years. Why? Is the United States insufficient productivity? How is it possible? During World War II, they launched a fleet aircraft carrier on average a month, and the escort aircraft carriers even built a jaw-dropping hundreds.

The reason is actually very simple. After they built it in a year, the shipyard would have to work for several years, so they had to be there like embroidery, and the cost of a heavy cruiser was almost as high as that of another battleship.

So it is just right for you to buy at the bottom. Yang Feng has prepared the list of these arsenals and shipyards, and then Lu Yongnian can buy stocks according to this list.

"The Spanish Civil War won't have such a big impact, right? Besides, there is a neutral bill now, so it is impossible for Americans to sell arms to Spain publicly." Lu Yongnian said with some confusion.

"Spain? That's just an appetizer!" Yang Feng said with a sneer like a charlatan.

"You mean that a world war may break out?" Lu Yongnian couldn't help but feel excited and immediately understood what this guy was waiting for.

"Germany is expanding its army on a large scale, and the war in Europe is inevitable. Spain is just a prelude. I dare to assert that in at most two or three years, Europe will be as full of war as twenty years ago." Boss Yang continued to act as a charlatan.

"Also, please pay attention to see if there are any transportation companies that Mexico traveled to European routes during this period to acquire. The Spanish Civil War is a good opportunity to make a fortune. The US neutrality bill will not prohibit us from selling arms to Mexico, but this matter should be done as much as possible. I don't want the outside world to know that I am selling arms." The product then said.

Lu Yongnian nodded. This matter is not difficult to deal with. Now the American company controlled by Quantum Fund is a good idea. Just find a business in Mexico and they can buy it. Such a small shipping company is also not difficult to find. Selling arms is not just selling ore crude oil. A small boat worth thousands or even hundreds of tons is enough.

For the time being, Yang Feng is not going to sell weapons to Franco. He has a mustache and Mussolini behind him, so he will not lack weapons. However, this is much worse for the National Army. Britain, France and the United States do not want to offend the mustache, so Joseph generously helped them. Of course, they need to exchange gold for hundreds of tons of gold! Thinking about it makes people drool.

In addition to Quantum Fund, JY Company naturally needs to be said to make money just like printing money. Cherokee has sold more than 20,000 Wranglers in the past six months. Land Rover, as a high-end brand, has also sold more than 2,000 vehicles and 3,000 10** cards. This is already very good for a small-scale automotive rookie under the current economic situation.

"Can such a car be made?" Yang Feng handed over a piece of his own graffiti to Rohart in the newly built headquarters building of Cherokee.

Now Cherokee also has its own automobile research and development team. According to Boss Yang's requirements, he only works off-road vehicles and trucks, and does not interfere in any other aspects. After all, if the United States wants to challenge General Motors and Ford, it is undoubtedly digging its own grave.

"Oh my God! This..." Rohart was stunned by Boss Yang's design drawings. Even their imagination-filled brains could not imagine that cars could be made like this.

This is a blueborghini.

"This car is my gift to Miss Carmencanción, so don't care about the cost, as long as it can be made, use the maximum power engine, the best technology, and the most luxurious interior that you can use. In short, it is to make this car a luxury in a car that only the top rich can afford." Boss Yang said. Last night, he drew more than a dozen sports car exterior pictures, and in the end the little fairy took a fancy to this one.

Since this is the case, there is nothing to say. No matter how weird Boss Yang designed it, it must be made for him.

After inspecting the Detroit automobile factory, Yang Feng took his little lover to Atlanta on a special plane prepared by Panda Airlines for him. Now Panda Airlines has four routes, one through London, Paris to Rome, one through Berlin to Moscow, and the United States from New York to Los Angeles, New York to Seattle, and another route from New York to Havana to Rio de Janeiro is waiting for approval.

The huge profits in the transatlantic air transportation industry are arousing the coveting of more and more American airlines, but at least no one can intervene in the short term, because Lockheed will not deliver Hercules passenger planes to other American airlines except Pandas this year, except Hercules, which can be truly put into operation. There is only the Douglas DC3 that has just started to use, but the maximum range of 3,400 kilometers makes it difficult for it to carry passengers from New York to the Azores.

Yang Feng went to Atlanta to attend the launch ceremony of "Gone with Gone". As the second novel published by People's Publishing House after Song of Ice and Fire, this book has long been fully promoted. It also set the launch ceremony in Atlanta, and even held an event where Yang Feng and Mitchell signed and sold books together.

"Madam Marsh, you look so charming today." Yang Feng said, holding Mitchell's hand.

"Mr. Yang, Miss Carmen Cancinino is truly charming!" Mitchell said, looking at Yang Feng's side, wearing a classical long dress.

"You are not going to let Miss Carmen Cancinino play Scarlett?" she asked again, and the little fairy's face immediately looked unhappy.

"No, no, how is it possible? Her temperament is completely different from Scarlett Hay. And when you call her in the future, you can call her Rita Hayss. This is her newly changed stage name." Yang Feng said, letting the little fairy play Scarlett Hay would ruin this image, although she really wanted to play this role.

The signature book sales event naturally made unprecedented grand occasions. I have never seen this these days. In addition, the celebrity effect of Boss Yang and the Little Fairy has been aroused by various hypes. And the attention to the background of this novel in the era made the citizens of Atlanta quickly buy all the five thousand sets of novels they prepared. Yang Feng was so tired that his claws were trembling.

As the event was approaching the end of the event, the representative of Fox Company, who accompanied him officially announced that Fox Company had bought the movie adaptation rights for the novel, and will officially start filming at the end of the year, and the name of the movie will be changed to Gone with the Wind.

After finishing his trip to Atlanta, Boss Yang flew to Los Angeles. This is the highlight of his trip to the United States. Lockheed has completed the prototype manufacturing of the Thunder fighter, and at the same time, the manufacturing of the dive bomber has also been completed. In addition, Whittle's turbojet engine has also been completed, and ground operation tests have now begun.

"Boss. I just got a news that Alcoa is developing a new type of aluminum alloy, which is said to be no worse than what we use now." As soon as we met, Kelly Johnson told him nervously.

This guy is very clear that the glory of Lockheed now relies on Yang Feng's high-performance aluminum alloy. Taking the Hercules airliner as an example, it is not difficult to design and manufacture such an aircraft, but until now, no aircraft manufacturing company has developed the same aircraft, and even Douglas has only launched one level of DC3.

The reason is very simple. Without the same aluminum alloy and four heavy engines, the wing cranes, the requirements for the aircraft structural strength are extremely high. If you want to build the same aircraft as Hercules, you will inevitably increase the structural weight significantly to achieve this goal. However, in that case, both the range and passenger capacity will be seriously affected. An aircraft with the same weight as Hercules but with much lower range and passenger capacity will not be able to compete with it.

The same is true for Blitzfighters. The same aircraft can be made using the aluminum alloy produced by Alcoa, but the combat radius will definitely shrink significantly, including the Liberator bomber.

"Kelly, don't worry, Alcoa has the same aluminum alloy, can't we have better materials?" Yang Feng patted his shoulder and said as if nothing had happened.

"Boss, are you saying you have better aviation materials?" Kelly Johnson immediately said with an excited look on his face.

"Didn't I tell you? Using a jet engine can even make the aircraft exceed the speed of sound. So do you think the current materials can make the aircraft withstand this speed?" Yang Feng said with a smile. Comparing aviation materials with him is asking for death!

In fact, Alcoa is unlikely to develop an aluminum alloy of the same level as it is now. Yang Feng is still very confident. The best one now is aluminum-zinc-magnesium-copper alloy. Moreover, the performance of different countries varies greatly due to different technologies, but it is impossible to compare with the performance of aluminum alloys eighty years later, even if it is the same series of alloys.

Besides, is there titanium alloy at this time? Is there aluminium-lithium alloy at this time? Is there a composite material at this time? One day I go back to process a batch of composite parts and pull it directly to scare the aluminum.

With Boss Yang's guarantee, Kelly Johnson was much more relieved. He is now known as the American Airlines industry, and his popularity has even surpassed those seniors in the aviation industry. It was the time to be proud, but he was unwilling to challenge his reputation.

The Thunder fighter on the test flight field has no difference in appearance and the Type 1 Land Warrior. But in fact, the performance is similar to that of the Type 2. Because the engine power is 1,200 horsepower and the body structure is lighter, Kelly Johnson made further improvements based on the original design, mainly to strengthen armor protection for the pilots, and to change the two 12.7mm machine guns in the original design to four. The result of the significant increase in firepower is that the total weight of the aircraft is heavier.

"Not bad!" Yang Feng was very satisfied with the appearance of this plane. Speaking of which, the Japanese planes were still very beautiful during World War II.

After seeing the boss, Kelly Johnson then arranged for the pilot to conduct test flights. In fact, the plane had been tested several times, and the fastest speed could reach 500 kilometers. Although it was not as terrifying as lightning, it was also a very excellent aircraft at this time.

The low-altitude combat performance is very good, and the four 12.7mm machine guns have strong firepower. Even if they engage in air battles with restricted lightning, they will definitely have the power to fight.

Looking at the fighter planes flying in the sky, Yang Feng couldn't help but start to think about the scene where the bald man bullied the 97th style with this kind of thing. Now the best Japanese army is the 97th style. In front of this kind of aircraft, it is purely a scumbag. This small-formatted land warfare has the power to fight even if it is against the 0th style, but this thing is not cheap!

Speaking of which, bald guys are most suitable for using wooden planes, just like those in Joseph's hands. Although they are wood, they have very strong performance. Unfortunately, China does not have the vast Siberia that can provide qualified wood.

"Boss. Actually, I think that we can promote this fighter in the international market. Will Congress ban its exports? After all, in terms of performance, it is much worse than Lightning." Kelly Johnson said from the side that the failure of twin demons to export to the outside world has always been his biggest dissatisfaction, although the production capacity of this aircraft is still insufficient.

"Your idea is very good. You can fight for it from Congress, but before that, you must first create at least a hundred thunders in a scattered state to send it to China." Yang Feng said.

Kelly Johnson took a breath of air conditioning. Now he was already overwhelmed by the heavy production burden. The US Army Air Force ordered one hundred Liberators. One hundred and fifty Lightnings. Yang Feng needed at least twenty Liberators, fifty Lightnings, and there were also Hercules waiting to get more than two hundred orders. The US Army Air Force also ordered fifty transport models. Among these more than 500 aircraft orders, he has not completed one-third of them. If these hundred Thunders are added, then he will not be able to live this life.

"Boss, with our current production capacity, it is difficult to complete so many orders. I think we should acquire another aircraft company?" said the guy hurriedly.

"Is there any suitable one?" Yang Feng asked curiously. He didn't mind about this. Lockheed's production capacity was indeed a bit nervous.

"Martin is about to go bankrupt now." Kelly Johnson said with a sneering smile. In fact, this was completely forced by Lockheed. Martin had been in a prevalent position with the B10 bomber for several years, but later the B17 appeared. In addition, the dive bomber bid failed, and a series of blows almost forced the old Martin into a desperate situation. He even had to rely on low-price sales to maintain it. But now there is another more ferocious wolf, and Martin has no power to turn the world back.

"Yes, buy it if the price is right, and you can also tell Mr. Martin that if he wants, I can continue to let him serve as general manager. In order to show respect for him, Lockheed will change its name to Lockheed. Martin after acquiring Martin." This news made Yang Feng very happy, and he immediately agreed to Kelly Johnson's request.

Loma! He was a little excited when he thought of this name.

Of course, he doesn't need to worry about these things. It's enough to leave them to Lockheed to handle them themselves. It's just a small factory with only more than 100 people, and it's not worth much money. If it weren't for the name Lockheed, Yang Feng wouldn't bother paying attention to such a small role!

This time, in addition to the Thunder fighter, there is also the dive bomber that Yang Feng has been looking forward to for a long time. The bloodline of this dive bomber is relatively complicated. Although he provided Kelly Johnson with drawings of Stuka, Fearless, Il 2, and even Comet and Skuo, he also clearly told him that Stuka and Fearless were only for his reference and must not be copied.

This guy doesn't want Xiaowang to cause trouble with Northrop. In addition, Skua is also a reference, so Kelly and Johnson's remaining choices are only Il 2 and Comet, and in the end he chose Il 2.

Of course, it is not a complete copy. Based on the Il 2 and combined with the advantages of several other aircraft, using Allison's water-cooled engines, we finally created a brand new dive bomber. The appearance is similar to the Il 2, but the total take-off weight is lighter, even lighter than Stuka, which is also limited by the engine. The current Allison v1710 water-cooled engine has a maximum power of less than 1,200 horsepower.

Although the weight is lighter, due to the weight loss of materials, the load capacity is more than that of Il2. The belly of the machine can carry a 500-kilogram bomb, and two 50-kilogram bombs can be hung on the wings. This is not surprising, because Kelly Johnson reduced the armor of Il2's tai, and Yang Feng didn't care much about this. Next time he went back, he got a batch of titanium alloy plates and then replaced the armored steel plate with titanium alloy.
Chapter completed!
