s: Something happened at home yesterday, sorry.
The submarine force's work in the Atlantic really made a lot of money.
It has to be said that the British keep their gold very well.
All gold bricks are packed in strong iron boxes, and the cargo holds of the two cruisers have been specially reinforced and are very strong, even if they are hit by torpedoes.
Spread to the cargo hold.
Mining robots fished out 1,400 tons of gold from the sunken ship.
It is a little regrettable that some of those silver bricks were lost.
The British were not so careful about the storage of silver.
They were placed directly in the cargo hold.
About 21 tons of silver bricks were buried under a large number of ruins.
It was difficult to salvage them and had to give up.
With this one vote, China got 1,400 tons of gold and 2,778 tons of silver.
According to China's spoils of war distribution system, Wen Desi deducted the operational expenses from this windfall and assigned the remaining one-fifth to the navy as special funds.
At this time, the current price of gold was approximately US$616,000 per ton, and the current price of silver was approximately US$17,000 per ton.
The total value of this batch of gold and silver was US$910 million, or approximately 1.82 billion Chinese dollars.
Yuan, deducting operational expenses and other costs, the net profit is 1.8 billion.
And the accounts can't be calculated like this.
This is real money, which can maintain its value, not something like banknotes that can depreciate at any time.
According to the reserve system for issuing currency, this gold and silver can at least become a guarantee for the issuance of 9 billion Chinese yuan.
For a country, this is the most important thing.
The Navy was allocated a special fund of 360 million yuan this time, making it the most generous among the three armed forces.
At this time, 360 million yuan is incredible.
For example, the Fuxi class, the main battleship of the Navy, costs 24 million yuan each.
The first two ships were built in the United States, and the main guns were also made in Austria-Hungary, so they are relatively expensive.
After all, The unit price was 28 million Chinese dollars, and the Suleiman the Magnificent later built for the Ottomans was priced at 30 million Chinese dollars.
The latest super-dreadnought Sun Wu-class battleship currently under construction costs 31 million yuan.
In other words, this special funding can build 11.6 Sun Wu-class ships or 15 Fuxi-class ships.
It made Wang Tiechui and other navy bosses laugh out loud.
This kind of business was so profitable that Wen Desi and the top leaders of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology were a little uneasy.
"It's a big deal.
It's the fastest way to get money these days.
One vote is 1.8 billion.
How much business do we have to do to earn this amount?"
"No wonder the imperialists like to be robbers.
Damn it, it's so easy to get money.
We can't lag behind either."
"The British have been pirates for hundreds of years and have robbed countless good things.
We are also robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
Well, we are robbing the rich of opium and cattle to give to the poor in China."
Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Comrade Wang Tiechui, was so excited that he slapped the table and repeatedly shouted: "Let's do it again, let's make it grandma's."
In this meeting to allocate spoils, ahem, I mean special funds, the top leaders of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology showed their ugly appearance and showed no grace at all.
They put a rising imperialist, er, socialist country, to the development of the old imperialist countries.
The envy, jealousy and hatred deep in the soul are vividly expressed.
If someone who didn't know saw it, they would think that a group of bandit leaders were having a meeting.
"Uh, Xiaohong, don't record the conversation just now."

Wen Desi finally retained some sense and whispered to Gu Xiaohong who was taking minutes of the meeting.
"Okay" Gu Xiaohong held back her laughter and crossed out the record just now.
The final decision made at the meeting was to continue to rob, er, attack, attack the British fleet.
The Chinese Navy has dispatched all 14 of its current "Seal-class" ocean-going attack submarines and is on standby in the Atlantic Ocean.
At the same time, it is stepping up the construction of more "Seal-class" and the newly designed upgraded and enlarged version of the "Sea Lion-class".
Of course, the targets of their attack will not be limited to gold transport ships.
If they go smoothly, the Allied battleships and various large ships will not be spared either.
According to Wang Tiechui, this is to help relieve some pressure on the Germans.
Niu Niu's navy is still too powerful, and it would be a good thing to weaken it more.
However, subsequent attacks were not so easy, and the British learned to behave after receiving this sap.
When they later transported gold, they no longer shipped the gold in a centralized manner.
Instead, they dispersed the gold on multiple ships and sent more escort ships at the same time.
Later, they even used submarines for transportation.
In this way, it would not be as easy to win as the first time, but even so, the Allies suffered heavy losses.
According to subsequent statistics, during the entire First World War, the Allies transported a total of 3,736 tons of gold and more than 62,800 tons of silver to the Americas.
Among them, 2,822 tons of gold and 53,450 tons of silver were intercepted by Chinese submarines.
The number of merchant ships sunk reached 670,000 tons, and more than 50 warships of various types were sunk.
London, May 11, 1915, AD 2756.
Since August 1914, Germany has begun strategic bombing and submarine blockade against Britain.
At first, no effect was seen, but after this bombing continued for several months, the British began to suffer.
In particular, the effect of strategic bombing is even more amazing.
After Germany received intelligence support from a mysterious organization called the "Decepticons", many strategic targets such as factories, warehouses, military academies, and barracks in the UK were all displayed in Germany.
In front of the Air Force.
Countless factories, ports, warehouses and other important places were destroyed, countless materials were burned to ashes by napalm bombs, and the number of casualties far exceeded the original time and space.
The British are not stupid.
If they are bombed, of course they will be bombed back.
It's just that the performance of their equipment is not as good as that of Germany.
Whether it is airships or aircraft, it is difficult to overcome the interception of the Luftwaffe.
Even if a few lucky aircraft break through the German air defense network, they will still face ground anti-aircraft firepower.
Since the Germans have engaged in strategic bombing, they will naturally be prepared to be attacked in the same way.
Their current anti-aircraft guns include 90mm and 105mm level guns.
Another very important point is that through military exchanges with China, Er Dezi learned very advanced camouflage technology.
They hid important targets under heavy disguises and built many false targets.
Under these measures, the effectiveness of Allied air strikes was negligibly low.
The achievements of submarines are far beyond the original time and space.
As of May 1, the merchant ships of the Allied Powers have been sunk more than 1.3 million tons, more than 400 ships, countless materials and wealth, and thousands of sailors have accompanied these merchant ships.
Buried at the bottom of the sea.
After being fucked by Er Dezi for more than half a year, the British really couldn't stand it.
As everyone knows, Great Britain is an island country, and most of its materials must be imported from outside.
Especially for Niu Niu, the first empire in the world, most of the raw materials for production are supplied by colonies.
To put it bluntly, the British mainland cannot even sustain its own food.
The reason is simple.
It is not that there is not enough arable land, but because most of the land is used to grow higher-value cash crops.
Compared with the current predicament of the United Kingdom, Russia and France are much better off.
Mao Xiong's family is vast and rich in resources.

With Er Dezi's little strength, there is no way to block it, and there is no way to block it.
The Rooster family's territory is large enough, and there are so many neutral neighboring countries around it that they can't block it.
And Germany now also understands that since it cannot solve the rooster in a short time, it will bring down the cows.
As long as these two families casually destroy one of them, the battle will be won.
As of this year, only a small part of the external supplies can come in due to the submarine blockade, and a lot of domestic supplies have been destroyed by bombing.
The original strategic reserves have bottomed out due to the consumption of the war, and the supply of materials can no longer be guaranteed on the market.
Therefore, starting from April, the United Kingdom began to implement a comprehensive material rationing system.
Food, cloth, medicine and other daily necessities were all supplied based on receipts.
To be honest, although this method makes life less convenient, it is the most appropriate policy for the current UK.
It is said that this method was thought up by Lord Desmond, the Earl of Glasgow, who has become famous in recent years.
For the middle and lower classes in the UK, this is a very depressing policy.
The little food rationed by the government can only guarantee food and clothing, but not death from hunger or freezing.
This kind of life might not be a big problem if we change to another country, but in this era, Britain is the overlord of the earth.
The vast majority of British people are used to living a good life of robbing the world to support themselves.
They are asked to go back and live that kind of life overnight.
I really can't bear to live a life of neither death nor life.
"Hmph, only two cans of canned meat a week, I'm really fed up with this," Baker muttered while eating the luncheon meat sandwich in front of him.
Baker was a small business owner, a bourgeois in the true sense of the word, and his life before the war was very prosperous.
But since the rationing system was implemented, these days have returned to a hundred years ago overnight.
There are five people in their family.
According to regulations, the weekly meat supply is only two cans of canned meat or 200 grams of salted meat, and one can of canned fish or 100 grams of salted fish.
For Baker, the meat bug, this kind of life is really sad.
It’s not that he has no money, but now that he has money, he has nowhere to spend it.
All food sales on the market have been controlled, and he has nowhere to sell his money.
Of course, every country has a privileged class, and the rationing system does not exist for them.
But the Baker family is obviously not a privileged class, so they can only admit it by pinching their noses.
In order to ensure that he has meat to eat every day, his wife can only control the quantity, and there is only a little bit of meat in each meal.
For example, the sandwich he was eating now contained only a thin, almost transparent slice of meat.
It was rare that his wife's knife skills were so good.
"Lisa, I've had enough of this damn war.
Those politicians in Downing Street deserve to go to hell.
The Germans didn't mess with us in the UK.
Why do they want to participate?
Oh, this damn black bread is better than Tom's stool."
It's so hard, I haven't eaten it in more than ten years."
Baker complained while eating breakfast.
At this time, her wife suddenly thought of something and said: "Dear, my neighbor's Mrs.
Fanterai said that there is a black market nearby where you can buy sufficient food and various supplies, but the prices are relatively expensive."
"Is it true?
Well, it should be true.
Damn it, I saw Fanterai carrying a ham yesterday.
It turned out that he bought it on the black market."
Baker suddenly became excited: "Lisa, you can go there this afternoon."
Check out the black market and buy something good if you find it.
I'm really fed up with this rationing system.

Just make it more expensive.
Even if it's three times more expensive, it doesn't matter.
Our family doesn't lack this kind of money."
"Okay, dear.
It just so happens that the children have been clamoring for pie.
I'm going to buy some flour and eggs."
Baker rolled his eyes and said: "Well, bring more money and buy more, I'm worried that the price will increase.
Anyway, now we have a freezer imported from China, and it will be fine for a few months.
Oh, just I'm going too, I want to see what's in the black market."
He now wants to see if there are any business opportunities in the black market.
However, after he went to the black market, he realized that things were not that simple
