Chapter 49 Who takes advantage
This chapter was added later. It is actually the specific negotiation process, but it cannot be written out and replaced by other content.

When development reaches a certain stage, money is just a number. Of course, this does not mean that money is no longer important at this time.

Money is important at all times. If someone tells you that I don’t care about money, they must be fooling you.

Making money is not the most important thing at this time. What becomes particularly important is to prevent money from depreciating and to keep the money in your own hands.

Some people may think that if I have 100 billion, it is more than I can spend and my descendants won’t have to worry about it for several lifetimes.

But in India, a policy may make all your money invalid; or due to a World War I or an economic crisis, 10 billion may depreciate to the point where it can only be sold for a piece of bread; or it may be directly frozen, or it may be nationalized according to law, and then the money is no longer yours.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to keep the money in hand, which requires military force as a backing, and to turn plowshares into swords, otherwise you will just be a lamb to be slaughtered.

Not only can you protect yourself, but you can also make money. Of course, people are also indispensable.

That’s why some people say that poverty is the wealth of the rich.

When there is no money, the poor are asked to screw screws and make weapons, and then the poor children are asked to serve as soldiers. The poor children use their parents to make weapons and go to help the rich to snatch other people's money back.

Now you have money, right? As the saying goes, you store food, I store guns and poor people, sooner or later your house will be my granary.

Therefore, when Zhang Feng started planning to use Madagascar as the first base for the development of his power, he had a plan to develop military industry with the help of other forces.

America also has talents in this area, but it is impossible for it to get too many and it can only develop in one direction at most.

So it goes without saying where the place with the most military science and technology talents is in this era, and both sides also have the basis for reaching an agreement.

The development of military industry is not just about weapons and equipment. The development of fighter jets and bombers is the foundation of aerospace.

The advancement of tanks and armored vehicles will also promote the development of the automobile industry.

The development of communication tools is also the starting point of the electronic technology industry.

There are also various machinery, machine tools, industrial mother machines, etc.

The development of affairs is never one-sided, and many civilian products are improved from military products.

Once a large number of scientists come to Madagascar, a complete industrial system can be built from scratch.

And you only need to pay money, which is very cost-effective. Money is only money when it is spent.

Especially in troubled times, industry is wealth and also a weapon to protect wealth.

One of the significant reasons why the United States was able to demonstrate its strong influence during World War II was its outstanding industrial capacity. During World War II, the United States demonstrated its impressive industrial and resource strength.

Its steel production reached 8000 million tons, far exceeding the total of the five major powers. According to preliminary estimates, by 1945, the United States' steel production capacity accounted for more than 60% of the world's total production.

At the same time, the United States' oil production accounts for more than half of the world's total oil production, and even exceeded 70% of the world's total oil production at its peak. This makes the United States have an almost unlimited supply of oil and oil-derived products, providing it with a huge strategic advantage in war.

Not only that, the United States was also the world's largest grain producer and exporter at the time. Its grain storage was sufficient to meet the needs of itself and its allies, and even the excess grain was used to produce materials such as alcohol to alleviate the problem of excess inventory.

During World War II, a Chrysler plant in the United States produced an astonishing number of tanks, reaching approximately 4.

This figure is almost equivalent to the total output of the three Axis powers, Germany, Japan and Italy combined. This huge gap in productivity demonstrated the unrivaled industrial strength of the United States at the time.

For the small country Japan, which was once known as the world's fifth industrial system, their total tank production is not even enough to be compared with that of the United States.

Even more impressive is the construction of American maritime power. They built more than 150 aircraft carriers, including more than 30 to assist Britain.

In addition, there are about 60 battleships and cruisers, thousands of destroyers and frigates, and more than 200 submarines.

The United States not only focuses on the number of ships, but also has a huge fleet of landing ships, totaling 64500 ships, not including various auxiliary ships.

This amazing manufacturing speed can be described as increasing like dumplings. If the production capacity had not been deliberately reduced in the late World War II, the number of American ships might have been even larger.

During World War II, the United States demonstrated its amazing strength in the production of military equipment. In particular, the canned beef supplied to the troops became a nightmare for American soldiers, but it was also to ensure that soldiers had enough food on the front lines. The manufacture of bread, cheese and other foods was also supplied on demand, demonstrating the United States' flexibility and resource allocation capabilities in the war.

At the same time, the United States did not limit its industrial production to armaments manufacturing, but made remarkable achievements in auxiliary non-military fields. In addition to meeting the needs of the military, the United States also produced a large number of Coca-Cola, chocolate and other commodities.

During World War II, the United States produced more than 100 billion bottles of Coca-Cola, a number that was not only huge but also globally renowned. This extensive production capacity not only met the needs of the battlefield, but also established an international reputation for the United States' industrial strength.

During the war, almost all the participating countries faced severe shortages of supplies, and even basic food became a luxury.

The American industrial machine continued to run at high speed, not only meeting the needs of the army, but also providing a large number of consumer goods for the wartime society. This was not only a full display of the United States' industrial strength, but also provided soldiers and civilians with some luxuries that could bring comfort in times of great pressure.

As the war drew to a close, due to America's overcapacity in the military industry, many military-industrial enterprises were forced to reduce production or turn to civilian industries in the late stages of World War II.

This resulted in a large amount of surplus war materials, including various equipment and supplies, being directly discarded. When the war ended, the United States faced a mountain of surplus war materials, which clearly showed the strong industrial capacity of the United States during World War II.

This huge productivity and military strength make the United States a true industrial power.

As long as he invests more money and speeds up construction, perhaps Zhang Feng can make back all his initial investment during World War II.
