Ross felt nervous. This was the thing he feared the most. Even if the shore defense turret was broken, he was more worried about human losses than the safety of New York. Even if the shore defense artillery range was only 7 kilometers, it would put a lot of pressure on the warship. He was unlikely to get close to within 10 kilometers of the coast. Even if the opponent's range was huge, most of New York could be saved. However, the opponent's high-speed driving not only crossed the 10-kilometer boundary, but also got closer. As the approach was approaching, the volley fire was fired one after another. The artillery fire was much more powerful to civilian buildings. The most important thing was that at the position he was paying attention, the opponent seemed to have eyes.

In just 5 minutes, the opponent's warships attacked more than a dozen targets, including the Navy Building, Arsenal, Arsenal, Large Steam Engine Factory and Shipyard. Each of them was the most important and most valuable in New York. On the contrary, some slums, less important stores and other places were not attacked.

Is it the other party just like having eyes? Of course, China cannot have eyes with such accurate targets. The reason why it is so accurate is very simple. In Cheng Biguang's hands, there is a complete map of New York, which not only includes important financial centers in New York, but also some manufacturing companies and military important places. This is the most complete military map formed by Chinese intelligence personnel based on confirmation and efforts provided by Germany to help them attack all targets.

The United States is not as good as the future generations, but has become the financial center of the entire United States. The entire New York has not yet been de-industrialized and is a completely commercial and financial city. Now, New York is still one of the most important manufacturing bases in the United States. Some of the raw materials coming from the Great Lakes will be processed into military weapons, compulsory and bullets in New York. The New York side is on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. The advantages of shipping are very obvious.

These are the first sequence of targets. With the help of computers, the accuracy rate for fixed targets is quite amazing, with the accuracy rate being as high as more than 90%. Such attacks, even if they cover a large area and are large in scale, can solve military factories with up to five rounds of volleys. Other civilian and quasi-military targets such as Navy Buildings and Telegraph Bureaus may be solved by a round of artillery volley.

At this time, New York was really in panic. The previous attack on the port had already stunned the Americans. The poor, before they were ready to welcome the war, fell into war. For them, it seemed like they were in a dream. Until the shells and explosions were around them, they realized that the war had come and they had suffered a blow from warships.

In the New York Command, the staff were counting the attacked areas. A large number of people appeared and the attacked areas were constantly reported, forming a line. A staff member seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes were filled with fear, and he said with some uncertainty: "Master Commander, will they attack Wall Street?"

Ross was stunned for a moment, and his face changed drastically. If there is anything more important in New York than the harbour, the Statue of Liberty, and even the majority of New York's civilians, then there is only one, Wall Street, the financial center of the United States. Wall Street is just a border less than a mile long in New York. Its unique environment and geographical location, especially the construction of the Rockefeller Center and the Morgan Building, made it the financial center of the United States and the most densely populated place in the United States.

Ross took the map he had drawn, and on it, the attacked area was circled. Although it was all over the east, the final direction was unswerving towards Wall Street. He shouted no, and then asked if Wall Street had begun to retreat.

While Ross said this, he knew that this was impossible. There were places where banks were densely packed at six o'clock in the morning. The war broke out more suddenly. From the outbreak to the present, it was only half an hour. This time was not enough for Wall Street's financial center to evacuate. According to the range of the opponent's warships that had been calculated before, it could easily hit 20 kilometers in front of a fixed target. What does this mean? Wall Street has been attacked by incomparable people.

Wall Street was attacked faster than Ross imagined. The warships were very fast and the artillery fire extended faster. After attacking most of the key military and civilian targets in New York City, when most of New York was trapped in the sea of ​​fire, the artillery finally arrived on Wall Street.

Wall Street, the Wall Street of this era, has not become the financial center of the entire world. Before the later generations, it has been slightly shocked, which will affect the financial situation in the world. The financial center of this era is London, England, but the United States is the world's largest industrial country. The vigorous United States has a very active finance. Wall Street is already the most important financial center in the United States and has the foundation to replace London. The reason why it does not have the influence of London is because the United States is not the world hegemon.

Starting from the capital society, modern finance is largely the hegemony has dominance. Britain is surpassed by Germany and the United States in a total industrial capacity, and even incomparable to the United States, but it still controls the world's financial rights. The reason is its influence in the world. The pound is a necessary currency for international settlement. Whether you want to or not, most of them also need to use pounds when trading, which increases the wealth of the British. Britain is not as crazy as the United States in later generations. Because of the gold standard, the pound is the real gold list. It has the value of gold, not paper in later generations.

The right to mint coins and some credit functions allow Britain to mobilize funds easily. As long as the credit is still there, Britain can easily depreciate the pound to offset the consumption of the war. This is also the fundamental reason why Britain can still persist under the premise of huge expenses. Their capital mobilization ability is far above Germany. Even so, they have not used rogue means, but they just dropped funds within the scope of normal permits. At this time, Germany, which consumes far less than Britain, cannot persist. Its total industrial volume is above Britain and its wartime production is the same. However, if it were not for China's intervention, China's huge financial supporter, Germany, probably Germany would not be able to persist.

Financial affairs have a huge impact. China is also building a Shanghai Financial Center on a large scale, which will become China's economic capital in the future. He has referenced more to the New York model rather than the British model, and has added some experiences from later generations to make this center more perfect. While building a financial center, Yang Yuanzhao did not fully learn from Britain and the United States. Yang Yuanzhao, who is deeply aware of the harm of capitalism, has not yet relaxed control. The organization led by the Baotou Chamber of Commerce and the Northwest Business Group, after Yang Yuanzhao handed over to the government, gradually became a regulated state-owned enterprise, using state capitalism and macro-control methods to reduce some economic overheating. This can effectively deal with the financial crisis. Even if it cannot be avoided, it will not happen. Similar to the European financial crisis, a large amount of milk and raw materials are dumped into the sea and are unwilling to provide them to ordinary poor people.

The Great China system built by Yang Yuanzhao through hard work cannot be destroyed by the economic crisis, capitalism, which will inevitably be destroyed. State capitalism must be established, which is similar to state-owned enterprises after the reform and opening up in later generations. Of course, it must also be flexible and changeable. The rigidity and inefficiency of the planned economy in later generations has been lost after the pursuit of the rigidity and inefficiency of the pursuit of the future is also something he must avoid. If there are some changes temporarily, what really determines future development is still necessary to adapt to the situation.

The attack on the Statue of Liberty seems to be more of a spirit of blow. Although the Statue of Liberty has not yet become a symbol of the United States like later generations and is the core of the American dream, it also has important significance. When it hits him, it means that the war has burned to the United States, and there is nothing more suitable for him. However, Wall Street is powerful. Only by directly attacking Wall Street and destroying Wall Street as much as possible can it maximize the attack on the United States. Not only will it cause huge direct losses, but indirect losses will even affect the United States for many years and years.

From the beginning, Yang Yuanzhao established the United States as his biggest goal. Faced with a great country with a complete industrial chain and superb industrial capabilities, even if China has considerable advantages over the United States in industry, it is impossible to defeat the United States in a short period of time. There will be a protracted war and a long-term war between China and the United States. Then fundamentally weakening will become an inevitable choice. While the United States has not yet turned its attention to the Chinese, use its greatest ability to teach the United States a profound lesson, and even shake the foundation of the United States. This is what China needs to do, and this is also the reason why Cheng Biguang's troops took the risk.

In a short, about a mile of blocks, major banks, stock institutions, and insurance companies in the world are concentrated. If four battleships attack the entire New York, the huge New York will dilute this. No matter how small New York is, it is dozens of square kilometers. The warship may be a behemoth to ordinary people, but New York is also a behemoth to warships.

But for Wall Street, it is difficult to dilute. There are only one or two square kilometers left and right, and a large number of financial institutions are concentrated. Starting from preparing to attack New York, this is the focus, and the ultimate goal. Now everything goes well. Cheng Biguang has begun the attack on Wall Street. The battleships have been fully supplied and have at least 30 base shells, which is enough to turn this more than a mile of land into a hell. The biggest wealth of these bank headquarters, perhaps gold, is impossible to make these gold disappear, but many things such as personnel, files, transactions, etc. will be devastating, and the final loss will be amazing.
