Office
Lin Zheng's office chair was replaced with a genuine leather sofa.
In front of Lin Zheng were two genuine leather sofas, placed left and right.
A young girl about 20 years old, wearing a light white dress and with golden wavy hair.
Her fair face had a freckle, and she had a bright and sunny personality.
Lin Zheng: "Your name is Haylin?"
Haylin smiled brightly and nodded.
Lin Zheng continued to ask, "So, you're a branch of the Rothschild family in America?"
The Rothschild family is a member of the Octopus Consortium, with a vast family power system, secretly controlling America in the economic field.
Lin Zheng: "Are you here to remind me about my safety?"
Haylin explained the reason with a smile.
Lin Zheng's face became calmer and calmer as he listened.
Since developing his industry, Lin Zheng knew he would be retaliated against by the American Octopus Consortium.
Lin Zheng's calm expression was handsome and charming.
Haylin solidified her thoughts.
Haylin: "I don't agree with the Rothschild family's plan to target you! So I want to stand by your side, just hoping to save my life!" Lin Zheng understood.
Lin Zheng took the gift list handed over by Haylin, and his face changed slightly.
5 million tons of crude steel!
500,000 tons of industrial rubber!
A total of 1 million tons of copper and aluminum.
A total of 500,000 tons of manganese, tungsten, and silicon.
Over 3 million tons of wheat flour.
Over 300,000 barrels of oil, over 400,000 barrels of gasoline.
Hundreds of escorting merchant ships.
Even with mental preparation, Lin Zheng was shocked by the vastness of the gift!
Didn't they say the American economy hasn't recovered from the Great Depression? How can a mere branch of the family give me so many resources?
And you give them all to me as gifts?
Lin Zheng continued to look through the list.
"American heavy tank blueprints, American heavy machine gun blueprints, Garand rifle blueprints, Raptor fighter jet blueprints, battleship blueprints, aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carrier blueprints!"
"The specific location of the American naval base, the organizational structure of each division of the American army."
Lin Zheng truly felt like "WTF!"
The Rothschild family branch has infiltrated even the military field?
And giving me American military secrets?
Lin Zheng said to Haylin with a serious expression.
"I can guarantee the safety of some people, but I don't want your family to steal Red Alert intelligence!"
Haylin's face was full of surprise... "Of course! Of course!"
Lin Zheng shook hands with Haylin, and then both parties signed a contract.
...
...
Meanwhile, on the azure sea.
A fleet of cargo ships composed of liberty ships, hundreds of large and small American merchant ships, each with a Red Alert flag hoisted on board.
This fleet was carrying 5 million tons of steel, 1.5 million tons of copper, aluminum, manganese, tungsten, and zinc, a million tons of grain, and hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil.
This fleet was carrying all the resources of the Rothschild family branch, smoothly reaching the central Pacific Ocean after settling customs matters.
While in the distance at sea, an American division was stationed, with two Northhampton-class heavy cruisers.
The Northhampton-class heavy cruiser No. 4, the Chicago, with a standard displacement of 9150 tons, was equipped with nine 203 mm main guns. This ship received two battle star medals during World War II.
Inside the American cruiser command room, 51-year-old Captain Ralph hesitated.
"!!! How can the United States give up all of its war resources to Red Alert?"
"What is the Rothschild family doing! Is it the family! Or an individual?"
"Report, Captain! The Rhodes family claims it's an individual act and authorizes us to intercept!"
"Fire!"
"Boom—"
The Northhampton-class heavy cruiser's 203 mm shells landed in front of the fleet, exceeding 20 kilometers.
Three Red Alert destroyers were protecting the fleet, the Red Alert destroyer's bow gun was 154 mm, and the extended-range shells could reach 20-40 kilometers, the key was the firing rate of 36 rounds per minute!
Bang bang bang—
Boom boom boom—
The American cruiser hull greeted the storm of shells, two main gun turrets were destroyed, the main gun turret ammunition depot detonated, and the hull was riddled with holes.
On the American cruiser deck, American soldiers were scattered in disarray.
51-year-old Captain Ralph was stunned, feeling dizzy.
???
We lost?
The cruiser couldn't even defeat the enemy's destroyers?
Their gun range and firing rate are too impressive!
Boom boom boom...
The other Northhampton-class heavy cruiser, with its 203 mm main guns firing at full force, was instantly interrupted, the cruiser's ammunition depot detonated, and the 9150-ton hull could not withstand the detonation, immediately tilting and becoming disabled on the sea.
51-year-old Ralph felt fear!
He immediately ordered the flagship to retreat to the outer edge of the battle!
Boom boom boom... another round of 154 mm shells, the flagship hull was riddled with holes.
51-year-old Captain Ralph was terrified, suffering from geriatric syndrome.
"Retreat! Retreat! As for the loss of American industrial resources, let those higher-ups worry about it!"
...
American mainland, Rothschild family residence.
The contemporary patriarch, along with the vast family branches gathered together.
The contemporary patriarch was a blue-eyed blond male, with a very ferocious and angry expression.
"Haylin... how can that girl be so foolish!"
"Haylin... does she know what she's doing?"
"Copper, aluminum, manganese, tungsten, steel, over a million tons, rubber, oil, grain, wheat flour, giving all of these to Lin Zheng?"
"The loss of so many industrial resources, two Northhampton-class heavy cruisers, one sunk and one damaged!"
"How will the American high-level view us! It will affect our century-long infiltration plan!"
The contemporary Rothschild patriarch went crazy, Haylin gave all of these to Lin Zheng, affecting American industry, affecting the Rothschild family's century-long layout!
Haylin usually seemed very intelligent, how could she do such a thing?
