Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 197: Global Spread of Military Power: North America

Wang Jiankun stayed in Tokyo, Japan for three days. During these three days, he followed Yukio Okamura and others, silently observing how he and the 3 new humans established themselves in the underground of Tokyo.

On the first night he saw them raid a small gang's casino, and then take control of the gang's assets overnight by interrogating the remaining small gang leaders.

The next day they continued the same practice and raided another small gang's nightclub. All the main gang leaders were killed and their assets and business premises were taken over.

On the third day they stopped doing that and started dealing with the seized assets. Those that were useful for future development were kept for operation, while those that were useless were mortgaged to banks and used for further purchases of land and real estate.

This is a well-established strategy. Based on the intelligence collected from Japan, Europe and the United States, Wang Jiankun discovered that since the United States began to upgrade its industries, the production capacity of ordinary consumer goods has declined sharply, which has led to a year-on-year increase in US imports. The trade deficit has become increasingly larger in the past two years. The main trading partners of the United States are Japan, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. These countries export a large number of low- and medium-end products to the United States in exchange for a large amount of US dollars.

In fact, the United States did this intentionally at the beginning. It imported large quantities of goods from these countries and gave them the US dollars it printed at will. It obtained the goods it needed and increased the circulation of the US dollar.

But gradually this method became a little out of control. Capitalists in the United States discovered that it was not cost-effective to open factories to produce products and then sell them to the public. The country imported a large number of cheap goods from overseas, causing their profits to become lower and lower. So they either closed the factories and started trading directly, stopping production themselves and letting overseas companies produce their products under their own brands. They then imported and sold the products to the public. The profits they earned in this way were no less than those from directly opening factories.

This situation initially only occurred in light industry, that is, industrial categories such as clothing, shoes and hats with low technical content and high labor demand. However, Japan, Germany, Britain, and France were not stupid either. After making profits for a while, they also began to upgrade their industries. They also transferred these low-end industries to colonies or underdeveloped areas for production. Among them, Japan and Germany were the most radical, so their industrial upgrading was also the fastest. In recent years, their automobile, home appliance, semiconductor and other industries have developed faster and better. Many products are more advanced than those of the United States, and the prices are much lower than those produced locally in the United States.

Therefore, Japanese cars, home appliances, semiconductors, German cars, machine tools, optical devices, etc. began to occupy an increasing share of the American market, which made the United States very unhappy, because their original intention was only to transfer low-end industries out, and these high-end industries still had to remain in the country. However, Japan and Germany were so ignorant that they had to be prepared to be beaten.

At the beginning, the United States only verbally asked these countries to adjust the prices of their goods and not to adopt the method of low-price competition, but this did not work. The capitalists would not stop until they saw the knife on their necks. On the contrary, some capitalists in the United States also saw the interest rate gap and began to transfer their high-end industries to places with lower costs for production.

It is now the end of 83. According to data collected from the U.S. Customs, the U.S. trade deficit this year will be as high as 3 billion, of which the trade deficit with Japan is as high as 1200 billion. Moreover, if there are no effective measures, the U.S. cash flow will become lower and lower, and deflation is likely to occur at that time.

Therefore, based on Sophon's financial model, Wang Jiankun speculated that in 84 or 85, the United States would definitely launch a heavy attack to defeat Japan and Germany, and the most likely means would be to use foreign exchange to hit the economies of these two countries.

Once foreign exchange means are used, Japan's currency will appreciate significantly against the US dollar, which will greatly inhibit the export of goods.

Since the currency has appreciated, this money must have a place to go. On the one hand, it is likely to be invested heavily overseas, and on the other hand, it is to be invested in their domestic stock and real estate markets.

Therefore, the task that Wang Jiankun gave to the White Horse Club was to purchase a large number of properties, and then through the model of continuous mortgage - buying new properties - and then mortgage again, thus gaining control of a large amount of land assets.

In addition, he also deployed other personnel to prepare to earn a large amount of funds from this man-made financial storm, thereby laying the economic foundation for the subsequent global unification plan.

After watching Yukio Okamura's operation, Wang Jiankun returned to the Mount Fuji base, prepared a large number of light weapons for them, and then started his trip to America in the "Thunderbird" hypersonic aircraft.

……

In order to avoid passenger flights from Japan to the United States, Wang Jiankun's flight path was closer to the Tropic of Cancer. After taking off from Mount Fuji at 2 a.m., he first flew southeast over the Pacific Ocean, and then turned east at 30 degrees north latitude and continued flying.

At this time, the flying speed of the "Thunderbird" has reached 7 Mach, and it can fly 8500 kilometers per hour. According to the flying distance from the Tropic of Cancer to America, it can reach Mexico in less than 70 minutes. However, Wang Jiankun did not choose it as his first stop, but chose San Diego on the US-Mexico border.

Choosing this place will be very beneficial for the large number of new humans to settle in the American continent, especially in the United States.

Because the customs and household registration management in the United States are relatively strict, it is very troublesome and time-consuming to obtain a visa and then enter the United States. Therefore, it is very quick to go to Mexico through the US-Mexico border and then cross the border into the United States.

Because Mexico's regulations are very lax, there are many ways to enter the country, and because the regulations are inefficient, many strangers coming in will not be conspicuous.

The improved "Thunderbird" no longer required Wang Jiankun to collect exhaust gas in the air to synthesize fuel when flying from Japan to the United States, so after the route was fixed, Wang Jiankun was very relaxed. He only had to check the data from the inertial navigation and star navigation instruments from time to time, and he would look out of the cockpit at other times.

It was late at night. He looked down through the porthole. The Pacific Ocean beneath his feet was pitch black, deep and mysterious, like an endless abyss. The occasional ripples on the sea were like faint stars twinkling in the darkness, distant and elusive.

The starry sky above is dazzling, and countless stars are shining in the vast universe like gems inlaid on black velvet.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky like a glowing ribbon, and the majestic sight is awe-inspiring.

At this high altitude, Wang Jiankun felt as if he was in the embrace of the universe, integrated with the heaven and earth, and a deep awe for nature and science surged in his heart.

When flying over Honolulu, he briefly turned off his electromagnetic stealth system to play a trick on the Pearl Harbor base below.

Perhaps it was because the speed was too fast and the passing time was too short, or because the radar here was not capable of detecting an altitude of 200 meters 3 kilometers away, so the US military base at Pearl Harbor did not notice that a hypersonic aircraft was flying past the edge of their base.

After passing Honolulu, Wang Jiankun adjusted the flight direction and let the Thunderbird fly northeast, because San Diego is about 200 kilometers north of the Tropic of Cancer.

About 100 kilometers away from the American coastline, Wang Jiankun could vaguely see the difference below from high altitude. The colors on both sides of the coast were completely different, so he turned off the scramjet engine and let the Thunderbird glide forward. About 50 kilometers away from the coastline, he vaguely saw a brighter area on the land in front of the left, which was the big city of Los Angeles in the United States.

Seeing the bright light and combining it with the inertial navigation data and star navigation data, Wang Jiankun knew that the direction was correct and they would soon reach the sky above San Diego.

At this time, the flying speed of the "Thunderbird" had dropped to Mach 2 and the altitude had dropped to 2 meters, so he turned on the turbofan engine, let the "Thunderbird" maintain this speed and continue to fly towards the coastline, and then kept an eye on the laser sensor.

He had previously sent a clone named "Jack" to San Diego. He brought two new humans who had obtained US tourist visas here to pave the way for Wang Jiankun.

At this time, in a large manor near the mountains on the outskirts of San Diego, Jack carefully turned on the laser transmitter with the launch port facing the sky.

Because it is only used for navigation guidance, the intensity of the laser is not high. There is a green beam of light produced by the reaction with the air at the outlet of the instrument, but no light of this laser can be seen in the night sky.

After turning on the laser, Jack began to stare at the surveillance screen on the other side. There were 36 surveillance windows there. The 36 external surveillance probes surrounded the manor within a 2-kilometer radius. All people or animals who were about to approach the manor would be captured by these surveillance probes.

The other two new humans are fully armed and on standby. Once they see someone approaching, they will kill them without mercy. They all have the skill package of Alexander, the sniper, and it is very easy for them to kill the opponent under night vision conditions.

However, they made so many preparations in vain. No one would come to such a private manor at night, especially in the second half of the night, because even thieves would try to avoid such manors in the suburbs, because there is a high probability that they would be greeted with guns by the owner after entering. The owners of such large private manors would be ruthless to uninvited guests who came in the middle of the night. No one would know if they were killed, and they could just find a place to bury them, and the police would not notice it at all.

Just 10 minutes after Jack turned on the laser pointer, a low humming sound was heard above the manor. It was the sound recorded in his mind. Yes, Wang Jiankun had used the lift fan to land the "Thunderbird" 100 meters above the manor.

"Jack, what's the situation down there?"

"Everything is normal, David. There are no outsiders approaching the monitoring area. We can land. The ground indicator light is on. There is a solid concrete floor there."

"Very good Jack, thanks for your help." "You're welcome David, it's what I'm supposed to do."

David is the pseudonym Wang Jiankun used when operating in Europe and the United States. All natural persons implanted with brain-computer chips or clones he created who come to America or come into contact with information from America will regard David as their supreme leader, and they will all act according to David's orders.

So after hearing David's voice, Jack's attitude was very good, and he did not show the rebellious attitude he showed to his neighbors.

Wang Jiankun had also used his super powers to scan the ground at this time and found that Jack had prepared the landing location for the "Thunderbird" exactly as planned. He also built a large awning and prepared a large trailer so that he could quickly transfer the "Thunderbird" under the awning after landing.

So he controlled the "Thunderbird" to continue landing. At this time, he had not removed the stealth function, so Jack and the others could only hear a sound in the night sky approaching the ground, but they could not see clearly what made the sound. It was not until it was more than 20 meters close to the ground that the landing gear showed a little figure under the illumination of the ground lights. However, there was no need to be invisible at this time. At the moment of landing, Wang Jiankun turned off the stealth function, and then used his superpowers to open the elevator.

Jack and his crew waited 30 meters away as ordered and did not approach the Thunderbird without permission.

However, he was very shocked to see such a sci-fi plane landing vertically in the manor. Before, he couldn't understand why the concrete ground was built so short and narrow. Didn't it say that a small aircraft was going to land in the manor? Such a short and narrow runway was not enough for a small single-seater propeller plane to land.

However, as a clone, he has become very docile and has done the tasks assigned by the organization meticulously. Now the mystery has been solved. It turns out that the organization already has such a sci-fi aircraft. Not only can it land vertically, it also seems to be able to be optically invisible. It cannot be seen by the naked eye if you are not paying attention from dozens of meters away.

He, who had always been in awe of the organization, developed a sense of identity and felt that this was what an organization should be like. He was also very grateful to be a member of it.

Wang Jiankun didn't know what Jack was thinking. Although the brain-computer chip would transmit Jack's thoughts back to China, he didn't have time to check.

He opened the canopy from the inside, climbed down the simple telescopic ladder to the ground, and then asked Jack and another new human to come and help.

He asked Jack to drive the cart and push the Thunderbird under the awning, and asked the new human to carry the prepared ordinary gasoline under the awning.

After the "Thunderbird" moved to a new location, Wang Jiankun asked Jack to surround the awning, and then asked him and the new human to prepare breakfast and not to come near here.

After Jack and the others left, he began to transform the ordinary gasoline that had been brought in, making it into fuel suitable for the "Thunderbird". Since it was just a transformation and not synthesized from carbon elements, the corresponding time was much shorter. It took less than 10 minutes to complete the transformation and inject it into the fuel tank of the "Thunderbird".

After completing the refueling work, he began to use his superpowers to draw the topographic map and underground conditions of the manor. The mountain behind the manor is quite high in altitude. It is not privately owned at this time but owned by the government. However, preparations are already being made. Later, the manor and the mountain nearby will be purchased. This will be an important base in North America in the future.

After the topographic map was generated in his mind, Wang Jiankun asked Chieko to immediately design it according to the previous plan. Then he started to build the "Thunderbird" stop and save point according to the design plan.

When he had used up most of the elemental control abilities he could call upon that day, leaving only a little for precautionary measures, the base had already taken shape. The entrance to the base was on the side of the manor at the foot of the mountain. The outside of the gate imitated the appearance of a mountain and could be extended to both sides. When fully opened, the gate was 10 meters wide and 12 meters high, allowing the "Thunderbird" or larger aircraft in the future, as well as some large construction machinery to enter and exit.

The floors and walls inside are finished with extracted aluminum and iron, which look smooth and bright, reflecting light under the lights.

Because the energy at this time still relies on the ordinary electricity of the manor, we cannot connect too many electrical equipment, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with abnormal power consumption.

However, at this time, the energy area of ​​the underground base already had three 3-megawatt small gas-cooled nuclear reactors, waiting for the next batch of new humans to bring the yellow cakes over and then have Wang Jiankun make them into nuclear fuel balls.

It was already dawn when the base was initially built. He rubbed his temples to recover his over-consumed mental energy before coming to the restaurant in the manor.
"David, breakfast is ready. There's the toast you need and my specialty, Mexican chicken burritos. I hope you like them." When Jack saw David coming, he quickly brought out the prepared breakfast.

"Thank you Jack, I'll try it."

Wang Jiankun sat down without hesitation, first used his superpowers to check the food in front of him, and then started to eat breakfast.

Jack's cooking skills are pretty good. The toast was cooked to perfect perfection, with a crispy crust but still soft inside. The Mexican chicken rolls were also delicious. He finished three large pieces of toast and two large portions of chicken rolls.

Jack was very happy to see that he had finished eating everything, and said he would make barbecue for him at noon.

Wang Jiankun expressed his gratitude, drank the warm water that had been prepared, and then went to rest in the bedroom that Jack had prepared for him.

After eating roast beef at noon, he replenished some of his energy, then drove a Toyota pickup truck in the manor to the US-Mexico border to survey the terrain in preparation for tomorrow's tunnel excavation work.

Not to mention that although the materials used in Toyota's pickup trucks are not as solid as those in American cars, their handling is better. Of course, the fact that this car was able to open up sales and quickly occupy the market in the United States is also largely due to its low fuel consumption.

Wang Jiankun saw many such pickup trucks along the way, and there were also many other Japanese-made cars. This also shows how popular Japanese cars are in the American market at that time. This also laid the seeds for the upcoming financial war. American capitalists would certainly not be happy to see their high-end manufacturing industry being eroded by Japanese companies.

The manor is not far from the US-Mexico border, about 60 kilometers. Wang Jiankun was not familiar with the road at first, so he drove slowly to the border according to the instructions on the map, and then drove along the border road. Although it was the border, the road was well built and hardened, so the pickup truck was not very bumpy when driving on it.

After driving back and forth twice, he gradually established a topographic map of the border on the American side, and then waited at the border port before arriving in Mexico.

Then he repeated the previous action, driving along the border and projecting the topographic map into his mind.

After the terrain on both sides was established, he began to let Jack be responsible for the purchase of land on the American side. The exits there would be set up in several relatively fixed locations.

In Mexico, Wang Jiankun did not plan to purchase through normal channels, but planned to occupy it directly after the next batch of new humans arrived, because the situation here was too chaotic. When he was surveying the terrain, he encountered two robberies, but he used his superpowers to decompose them directly, turning them into gas and water and dissipating into nature. In this case, it would be a thankless task to go to the official to buy it, so it would be better to occupy it directly.

After surveying the terrain, he went back and had a good rest in the manor, allowing his mental strength to recover while contacting the Four Seas transport ship on the ocean to find out their current location.

The next morning after breakfast, he quickly drove his pickup truck to the US-Mexico border. After arriving at the selected location on the US side, he drove up from the middle section and dug an underground passage. The passage was 60 meters underground. The exit location would be purchased to build some warehouses or houses.

Three days later, Wang Jiankun completed the construction of the underground tunnel. The entire underground tunnel is 3 kilometer long, 1 meters on the American side and only 800 meters on the Mexican side. The elevator was also built, and graphene batteries were used for electricity. The new humans coming to America will bring graphene batteries ashore, and will later go to the base in the United States for charging.

On the fifth day, Sihai Shipping delivered 5 new humans to the northern coast of Mexico and unloaded the yellow cake and some hard-to-buy elements that Wang Jiankun needed.

Wang Jiankun picked them up at the beach. 40 of them and the supplies were taken to the entrance of the underground passage by the bus he drove, and then entered the tunnel and came to the United States. The remaining 80 people walked to a nearby hotel according to the predetermined plan. Later, they would infiltrate the gangs here according to the predetermined plan, and then replace these gangs and gradually control this section of the border.

After obtaining the yellowcake and rare elements, Wang Jiankun ignited the nuclear reactor at the San Diego base and produced a large number of light and heavy weapons. These weapons will be sent to the new humans in Mexico through underground passages to help them gain a foothold in northern Mexico as soon as possible.

After finishing these things, he flew to South America in his Thunderbird hypersonic aircraft, preparing to establish another base in Argentina.
