Chapter 505 Auction of Yamato-class battleships

"It's so dilapidated here? Get out of here, you lowly native, take away your dirty hands!" A young British man with a pale face shook the embroidered blue handkerchief in his hand like a fly. An old butler in a tuxedo next to him turned the only active eyeball on his slab face helplessly, and waved his hands quickly to the two native people who were facing tropical fruits on their heads.

An indigenous black man reached his hand to his chest helplessly, and then quickly gestured a cross before retreating to the side and looking back at a bearded man in the hunting suit who was smiling at all in the distance. After seeing the man's gesture, he bent down to support the fruit basket above his head and retreated far away.

Although the old butler's face was stern, his flexible eyes could see everything around him. He quickly exchanged a wink with the young man who covered his mouth and nose with a blue handkerchief.

"Welcome! Welcome to the beautiful Sao Tome Island!" The bearded man in hunting suit smiled heartily.

"This is our invitation!" The old housekeeper suddenly took out a purple invitation with gold wire from somewhere.

After a casual look, the bearded man glanced at him and did not take him over. He just smiled and said, "When he came here, he is our most honorable guest!"

"Then when will we start this auction?" the young man asked directly with a sharp voice.

"We have a few more guests. When they come, we will start right away!" The bearded man grinned. However, Senran's teeth were covered by the beard.

When the young man and the old housekeeper entered the arranged wooden house, they found that although it was simple, it was very clean.

"The Germans are here too!" After nightfall, after carefully exploring the room, the young man's face became loose and he frowned and whispered to the old housekeeper. When the guests came, they found that there were several familiar faces.

"I'm afraid we will have to pay a bigger price this time." The old housekeeper sighed after sweeping his habitual eyes around him.

"In two days, General Bill will be here, but we can't find any big problems with them! Isn't it possible to buy some bottles and jars in this simple auction hall and go back like this?" The young man said a little depressed.

"This is nothing! The above has made a preliminary judgment that there should be no problem with their identity. This transaction with the Chinese should be the one who actively contacted them." The old butler said with some uncertainty.

The owner of the auction house is a professor at a French university who studies archaeology. The auction house formed only has more than a dozen people, but it suddenly took over the big order of the Yamato-class battleship in China. The careful British love affairs checked the Sabi Auction House and then checked it. But in the end, no strangeness was found. It seems that the Sabi Auction House just won the favor of the young Chinese general as the Pioneer Army said, because it returned some cultural relics to China, and thus obtained the big order.

Sabi Auction House once advertised in New York to hold this auction there, but because it was an auction battleship, some people opposed this external force to disrupt the scene in the name of anti-war. After achieving the purpose of advertising, they immediately moved to the place and moved to Sao Tome Island. The Americans paid too much tax, and the Portuguese on Sao Tome Island turned a blind eye to the auction after collecting some weapons.

"These treacherous businessmen!" As soon as Major General Bill stepped on Sao Tome Island, he saw the German Nazi uniforms of the two people talking not far away, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

As a result, after entering a certain huge tent, he even cursed again. Not only the Germans were present, but also saw several familiar faces. Americans, Soviets, and even *** people all came over, and they were not just joining in the fun.

"One hundred million!" The bald Soviet man raised his sign first.

"Damn it! Didn't the Soviets already order a fantasy-class battleship like this? Why do you want one?" Major General Bill wanted to take a steadily look at the situation before talking about it, but the atmosphere at the scene was sensationalized by the direct price increase of the Soviets.

"115 million!" The Germans who were still holding back military discipline in the hot days followed closely, and suddenly increased by another five million.

"Why do these rigid German guys still want it?" Bill's heart couldn't help but be trembling with the shadow of the giant ship when he looked up at the giant ship. In the hands of the Germans, there were already three such terrifying giant ships.

"116 million!" However, no matter how you look at the Americans, who don't look like soldiers, look more like watching the fun, and only add one million to the scene.

Major General Bill's lips ***ed, and finally gave the curse in his heart to the Americans' ancestors for several lifetimes. The British were in crisis, and the Americans did not forget to rob them by fire. They had just obtained a Yamato-class battleship, and the British had proposed to buy it, but the Americans asked for a higher price than they proposed now. They had to study it and deliver it to the British.

"120 million!" The *** guy with a little Rendan beard on his lips was like a booger. Mimi was hesitant to raise the sign. Major General Bill immediately cursed the wretched monkey and immediately raised the price to 130 million. The unit behind him was still US dollars.

Major General Bill had no objection to the minimum price of 100 million yuan, and each time he raised a bid, he had no objection, but the unit was US dollars, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The British pound is still a hard-wired soft gold in this world, and its status is much higher than that of the US dollar.

"Isn't it just that the pound was fluctuating a little a while ago?" He felt a little angry, but then he thought of the Chinese Pioneer Army. Zheng Tieru, who was the Pioneer Army in the world, made a big profit when the British and French coalition forces failed, and used the difference in height to sweep 80 million pounds in the bond market, which caused a sensation in the London financial world a while ago.

Eighty million pounds are more than 300 million US dollars. They once followed the investigation and found that the Pioneer Army had mortgaged hundreds of millions of dollars from more than a dozen British and French banks before World War II. However, after the currency fluctuations, they not only did not need to bear the extra interest, but instead made a big profit from it. Especially for French banks, after the original fiat currency depreciated and exchanged it for new coins, these currencies that expired in two or three years were discounted and then discounted, so the French could not even collect the money for buying shorts.

"Fortunately, the empire can still hold on!" Major General Bill could not imagine the situation where Britain was captured by the Germans. Although the royal family could escape to Canada, a large number of people had to suffer under the German chariot tracks.

"One Thirty One million!" The Soviet Russian Jiuganov just mentioned that they had a vast continent and the pressure from the sea was not great. However, cities such as Leningrad were close to the Baltic Sea, and they did not mind using the figure of giant ships to dispel the potential enemy's offensive ideas.

"135 million!" Wolf, the German who had been sitting straight, continued to raise the price without hesitation.

"It's already 135 million!" Henry, the bearded man above, became an auctioneer. At this time, no auctioneer could have been in charge of this business of more than 100 million US dollars. If an ordinary person simply listened to this number higher than a country's fiscal revenue, his heart would probably not be able to stand it. Fortunately, the bearded man was just a clone who was not very interested in wealth. His thick voice was stirring in the wide tent and did not fluctuate much. However, the hearts of the other people in the tent seemed to be beating a drum.

"Even if such a battleship is built overtime, it will take at least three or four years to build a battleship. But after three or four years, the empire still doesn't know what it will look like! In order to avoid the tragedy, in order to protect the local area, no matter how much the return is, it will be willing to take down this giant ship." Major General Bill kept thinking in his mind.

"One forty million!" He raised the license plate in silence.

"145 million!" The Germans quickly followed. When Wolf came, he had already received the instructions from the above, which fell into the hands of others, and could not fall into the hands of the British.

"One 50 million!" Bill's heartbeat was so fierce, but he tried his best to calm his voice.

"152 million!" Wolf also lifted another five million in one breath. Sweat had already oozed out of the collar of his military uniform. Even though an ice bucket had been placed in the tent, it still seemed like gunpowder was lit in the air.

"155 million!" Bill felt as if he was confused by sweat. But his voice was still stable.

"156 million!" Wolf's raised hand had slowed down a little. This time his target for purchasing warships was only 140 million. But his superiors agreed to raise prices to snipe the British and consume more gold coins. So he still gritted his teeth and mentioned it. Anyway, the transaction between the Germans and the Pioneer Army could be bartered, and the differences between them could be discussed.

"160 million!" After Bill shouted, he felt like he had put down a big stone in his heart. This was his greatest authority. The British had known about the Yamato-class battleships. If the British came to manufacture them, the cost might not exceed 120 million US dollars. It was already very high to buy second-hand goods of 160 million. If they could not conquer them, it would be better to get goods from the Americans and win over the relationship between the Americans.

"You can buy three Nagato-class ships!" Major General Bill, who felt relaxed, thought to himself. The British had hooked up with the Umbrella Company. They found out that the umbrella was still producing Nagato-class. If needed, they could provide three Nagato-class ships within a year. Although Nagato-class battleships cannot fight against the Yamato-class, the three Nagato-class battleships can make the maritime transportation lines safer.

He stared at Wolf's manual movement, but in the end he only mentioned it to his chest, but did not lift it up again. The sniping baseline given to him by his superiors was about 160 million. After all, they could get cheaper from the counterfeit company. Next year, there will be a new warship delivered, which only takes 120 million.

"Congratulations! Mr. Bill!" Henry, the bearded man smiled and stretched out his hand to Bill. Bill, who successfully completed the task this time, did not curse himself secretly. He nodded gently with a gentlemanly look at the German who turned and left without saying a word, then he held the big hand without any sweat stains.

"Oh my God! This is so cool!" Meng Xiang couldn't help but be ecstatic after hearing this news. This auction not only made the Pioneer Army take advantage of the situation and make the British lose their money, but also a second-hand product was sold so much more expensive than a new ship.

"In the future, warships will have to be auctioned. It seems that only auctions can earn the greatest value!" Meng Xiang said to Xiao Hua with a smile, but he also understood in his heart that if it weren't for war, everyone would not be able to buy weapons at any cost, and usually they would not be able to sell them. At that time, he was in urgent need of money, so he naturally sold them at a low price. In the past two years of contact with the Germans, he had initially consolidated the foundation of the industry, which was worthy of the cheap manufacturing of the base.

"Our coastal defense security is still a bit difficult recently!" Although Fan Zhong is in charge of the army, he is the chief of staff of the three armies. Without the Zhenyuan, the coastal defense is like missing a sea-stabilizing needle.

"Don't we have new warships soon?" Meng Xiang smiled. He knew that Fan Zong's words were just conveying some naval complaints. The Zhenyuan was sold out just after getting familiar with it, which made many people unable to accept it and complained constantly. If it weren't for the fact that there were new warships about to be put into service, and there were many cruisers and destroyers available for use, I'm afraid many of them would have rushed to Meng Xiang's office to petition.

"Commander, when will our new warship come?" Shen Honglie spoke before he entered the door, and he was talking about the warship.

At this time, he was no longer on the Football Handle. His flagship became the German-class pocket battleship that had been modified and strengthened with air defense. Once the Zhenyuan went away, the German-class pocket battleship with the largest displacement became the toys of those idle senior naval generals. In addition, his subordinates also had many complaints, which made him often come to Meng Xiang to complain.

"It's soon! Haha! It's almost!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.

Shen Honglie was still a little convinced of Meng Xiang's words. When Meng Xiang said this, the Nagato-class was replaced by Yamato-class battleship. At this time, it was necessary to replace it again. Could it be that there was a new battleship?

Meng Xiang didn't say much, but just used words to make excuses.

After everyone left, he asked Xiaohua: "Check the progress of the Fearless Class Battleship!"

When he saw that 96% had been completed, he felt relieved: "I really look forward to the birth of another Red Alarm weapon!"

Inspired by the Jeep's multi-functional combat vehicle, Meng Xiang also took his mind to the Red Alert ships. He first paid attention to the Fearless Class Battleship. The prototype of the Fearless Class Battleship should be very good to confirm. One of them must be the British Fearless Class Battleship. Only it is an epoch-making design that can be worthy of the battleship template.

So Meng Xiang produced three British Fearless Class Battleships in one breath. Sure enough, a menu that could produce Fearless Class Battleships appeared on the base.

Seeing another new Red Alert weapon appear, Meng Xiang was very happy. Thinking of the fate of the three British Fearless Class Battleships, he couldn't help but hum a small song: "Disassemble, remove, remove. I will build three, I will disassemble three. I will disassemble while I will disassemble...."

The three warships will naturally not be wasted, and it is difficult to explain when they are driven out. They are dismantled directly in the shipyard. After repeated dismantling of pipelines, steam turbines, wires, steel plates, etc., for other purposes. The fearless class of more than 18,000 tons can remove many good things, and there are many such bases in the war zone, which play a huge role. Especially those power systems have become the mainstream of factory power. It solves the weak power link of the Chinese industrial foundation.

"Xiaohua, build another H-class battleship!" Meng Xiang suddenly thought of something and said to Xiaohua lightly.

As the influence of the base increases, Meng Xiang always has an anxiety about the base being controlled by the Space-Time Administration Bureau. Faced with the already weak Red Party, etc., and even the central government of Chiang Kai-shek, Meng Xiang could not make the last move, because he was worried about being interfered by the Space-Time Administration Bureau, so he urgently needed to lay a solid foundation for his industrial foundation first.

The same is true for military engineering. Even if it is a product made by the base, the actual weapons that have been seen in history make him feel more at ease than those that have appeared in the game.

So when he saw that the first-class fearless battleship that cost one million yuan to produce was about to appear, his anxiety began to emerge again. After thinking for a while, he was about to build the 41th version of the H-class battleship he had remembered in his previous memory.

In this time and space, because the Germans purchased a large number of Yamato-class battleships, this same giant warship has not appeared, but there are templates in other time and space. Although the 530mm caliber main gun in the 44 version is a bit exaggerated and the 800mm main gun is even more whimsical, the 41 version of the 420mm giant cannon is still relatively realistic. After absorbing some experience of the Bismarck battleship, the 41 version of the H-class battleship designed was more reasonable.

"Build one first!" Meng Xiang looked at the cost of the base that cost more than 20 million yuan, touched her chin with great distress and confirmed again.
Chapter completed!
