Although the economy has not reached a crisis situation, Li Guang is secretly alarmed, and there is no need for Premier Yuan to say, Li Guang also knows the reason, the money is indeed overspent. Moreover, because Li Guang has made some advanced moves on many projects, the expenditure will not be overspent in just four or three years. I'm afraid that in four or four years, I will overspend 200 million Tang Yuan, which is equivalent to 50 million US dollars.

Of course, in the long run, these investments are definitely more conducive to the development of the country and can create more benefits for Haitang. Although there are difficulties at the moment, Li Guang does not want to change it back. For example, with the current plan, Li Guang estimates that the highway that runs across the east and west coasts of Datang Island, which is the most serious overrun, will be sufficient by the 21 st century. If the road is built, it will be enough for now, but in the next few decades, it will not be a matter of renovation, but of rebuilding at great expense, resulting in a huge waste.

What's more, in just a few months, Haitang has purchased a large amount of equipment from the United States, and these things cannot be returned.

The reason why it is so efficient is due to the fact that Haitang has seven high-speed merchant ships. One of them was the captured Chilean merchant ship PC, two were obtained from France, and four were exchanged with Germany.

At the beginning of the period, Li Guang did not deeply appreciate the value of high-speed merchant ships. In peacetime, the cost of transporting goods is a bit high, and the cost itself is also very high. But during the war, Li Guang knew the value of these seven ships. Even the United Kingdom and the United States are quite interested in these seven clippers. When I have free time, I will also deliver supplies for the US military.

There are also ships in the Haitang Kingdom that were sunk by submarines on the ocean. But these seven high-speed ships, which have been running in North America, including the United States and Canada, have never been scratched a little bit on this most dangerous route.

The German submarines were good enough, but these seven ships were twenty-two knots as long as they left the port. If the German submarine wanted to attack, it would be difficult.

Moreover, because the water reconnaissance planes are also equipped with rocket boosters, the water reconnaissance planes can take off without wind on the sea surface. Therefore, even if there is no complex structure, a large and bulky catapult on board can carry a water reconnaissance aircraft. As a result, anti-submarine capabilities have increased several times.

Moreover, this fleet is a treasure in the Haitang Kingdom, as long as it sails, it will be escorted by two or more destroyers. These seven ships only need one and a half months to make a round trip between the United States and Datang Island, transporting about 50,000 tons of goods. So. The equipment purchased by Haitang at a cost of tens of millions of dollars was easily transported back to Datang Island in a few months.

If you lack money, then earn.

However, after Li Guangdu's hollow thoughts, he found that there seemed to be no channel to make money. Of the 1,000 factories in the Haitang Kingdom, there were at least fifty or sixty of them proposed by Li Guang. these items. In most cases, not only can they not be cut, but they even need to be invested more.

For example, penicillin pharmaceutical factories. This is the result of Yuan Ran's activities in the UK. Penicillin was discovered by Australians. Medicines developed by the British. The Americans, in turn, invested in large-scale industrial production. In the past four or three years, there have been twenty or thirty pharmaceutical factories in the United States that produce penicillin, but the current production is very small. Li Guang is very aware of the importance of penicillin, but in fact, in the fourth and second years, four or three years, European and American doctors were actually skeptical of such new drugs. The British people were not aware of the importance of penicillin, so they did. Yuan Ran was able to spend a lot of energy in the UK to get the strain and production process of penicillin. In addition, penicillin is considered a cooperative project of the Allied forces, the United States. The United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Canada are all eligible for the production technology of this product. This is also the reason why Yuan Ran can easily obtain penicillin production technology.

As for the construction of a new line of light weapons, it is all the more necessary. You can't afford a country that can't even produce rifles and submachine guns. Of course, the weapon production line invested by Li Guang is the most famous AK47 in Shanzhai.

Another example is agriculture, a cattle breeding plant. Li Guang has found several doctors and is exploring artificial insemination technology. When the technology is put into practice, it is possible to scale the cattle and dairy farming industry. It's definitely a huge benefit to the agricultural economy. Therefore, it cannot be cut.

As for the other industries proposed by Li Guang, such as skateboard factories, and then films. It's impossible for a skateboard factory to make a lot of money. There is an element of luck in the movie, Li Guang stayed up late and wrote several scripts, all of which are action movies similar to Bruce Lee, with little investment and quick results. But you don't necessarily make too much money.

If you can't cut expenses, is there a new product or new technology on hand to sell? Li Guang went through it in his mind, and he found that there were products to sell, but he couldn't make much money.

For example, the tungsten core armor-piercing bullet developed by Haitang Guo itself. Thanks to the impression of later generations, Li Guang knew the strength of the German battlefield. But because the Leopard and Tiger tanks had just appeared on the battlefield, the British and Americans had not paid enough attention to them, especially the Americans, who had not really fought a big battle with the Germans so far and did not know how powerful they were. In addition, the cost of tungsten core armor-piercing bullets is extremely high, and there is a strange thing that no one wants good things.

The napalm has undergone technical upgrades, and the mixing method of gelling agent and gasoline has been upgraded from mechanical to ultrasonic stirring. This is another applicable field of ultrasonic technology discovered by Haitangguo technicians. This technology led to the emergence of a small body of napalm in Haitang, which could be used as a cluster bomb with better results. However, Li Guang does not plan to sell. The effect is good, the Americans can't keep up with the amount of purchases, and they make less money, which anyone can understand.

In addition, the trade in gelling agents for gasoline bombs with the Germans had long been interrupted for reasons of image. It's been four or three years, and the time has come for black-society-whitewashing.

Products can't be sold, and then think about technology.

A new variety of torpedoes, sound-guided torpedoes, has recently been successfully developed. It is estimated that it will be mature and put into production by the end of the year. However, this product, as the killer feature of the torpedo of the Haitang Kingdom, Li Guang did not intend to sell it. You must know that Li Guang wanted to develop a self-guided torpedo five or six years ago, and it took countless efforts to find the most suitable guidance method recently.

Another technology, although it has just begun to be developed, can certainly succeed in Li Guang. And this weapon will become a big killer weapon in the Haitang Kingdom for a considerable period of time - cloud burst bombs. Speaking of the cloudburst bomb, there is no need to describe its power, just use its nickname to know how terrifying the power is - a small nuclear bomb.

The reason why Li Guang can think of this kind of thing is why. It's hard for a man with two women to do.

Su Zizi knew the process technology of making napalm. The result was obvious, and soon she became a millionaire. Yuan Ran was not happy because of this. couldn't favor one over the other, Li Guang had to rack his brains and finally come up with such a weapon.

However, Li Guang still knows a key point about napalm, and Li Guang knows about the principle of cloud burst bombs, but Li Guangke doesn't know anything about what fuel is used as fuel. After several studies by chemical professionals, several possibilities were finally identified. After one by one trials. A combustible substance - ethylene oxide was settled. Technicians can make small amounts in the laboratory, but they lack industrial experience and have no way to convert them into large-scale production.

In organic chemical industry, American technology is not the first, and the heritage of the British Empire in this era cannot be underestimated. So. Since last year, Yuan Ran has served as the minister of the Haitang Kingdom to the United Kingdom. One of the most important tasks is the purchase of production equipment. Researchers please. In the midst of war. Such technicians are still relatively easy to recruit, and under the lure of heavy money, people and equipment have now arrived in Datang Island.

Li Guang thought about it, and maybe he could think of making thousands of dollars more, but the big money still didn't have a place.

Thinking about it, Li Guang set his eyes on Mozambique, which was across the sea from Datang Island. Recent times. There were frequent exchanges between the Haitang Kingdom and the Portuguese colonists.

At the beginning, the Portuguese supported the French against the Haitang Kingdom, and the Maritime Resistance Army captured hundreds of large and small ships. These ships are not very good, only a few ships have a displacement of more than a thousand tons, most of them are small boats. As a poor man's Haitang country. Naturally, they are not picky, and they are all rented to private merchants??? Li Guang originally thought that Portugal also belonged to the country that had been beautiful in his ancestors, and this ship was nothing to Portugal. In fact, this is not a small ship for Portugal, but for the Mozambican colonial authorities it is almost eighty percent of ships. Without these ships, the Portuguese were dumbfounded, goods could not be transported, and it was difficult for people to move around. As a result, the Haitang Kingdom took the opportunity to control the sale of goods from the Portuguese.

Of course, all the Portuguese are getting now is Tang Yuan. Before Tang Yuan's credibility was not established, how could the Portuguese be willing to suffer this loss.

Now, the Haitang Kingdom has released French prisoners, in fact, there are also some Portuguese prisoners in the middle. The Portuguese are now looking for the British to act as lobbyists, and the British are so slippery, although they want to get the goods exported from Mozambique, they don't want to have a conflict with the Haitang Kingdom.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Haitang State has recently made a very powerful statement that the export of goods from Mozambique must be to the Haitang State. Not because of anything, but because of the lack of all kinds of materials in the Haitang Kingdom. Truth, fist is truth. It makes sense that Portugal doesn't have ships.

In line with the principle of harmony and wealth, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently found a way out for the Portuguese colonial government, Tang Yuan is reputable, and if you take Tang Yuan, you can buy mortars and mortar shells.

The poor Portuguese had to take mortars and mortar shells and look around for buyers, with the British being the largest buyer.

Because, Portugal remained neutral in World War II and never turned to Germany. Although Portugal sold a lot of things to Germany, including the precious tungsten ore, it made a lot of money. Britain and the United States and other countries did not know, but they did not dare to push Portugal too much, for fear that it would fall to Germany. He even pinched his nose and sold some gasoline to Portugal.

It can be said that Portugal was left and right in World War II. However, when encountering the Haitang Kingdom, there was no trick at all, and the British could only remind not to force Portugal to the side of the Axis powers. Li Guang didn't care about this at all, it was Europe, and it had very little impact on Haitang. Moreover, Portugal is not stupid, the Allies have turned from defense to offense, and Portugal will not fall to Germany unless it is in the water of its brains.

In this way, Portugal bought mortar shells from the Haitang Kingdom with a sad face.

Portugal did not fight again, so what did it do with so many mortar shells, it was undoubtedly to sell to Germany.

Yes, it was the turn of the British to feel uncomfortable, so they had to buy all the mortar shells. The Portuguese actually found a business opportunity from it, and they became a big user of mortar shells in the Haitang Kingdom. It's a pity that there are not many products here in Mozambique, and there are not even $10 million worth of goods a year.

Although this was beneficial to the Haitang Kingdom, Tang Yuan still could not be promoted, and Li Guang was not very satisfied. Only by letting the Portuguese use Tang Yuan is the biggest profit growth point.

The Portuguese had to be allowed to use the Tang Yuan.

So, Li Guang came up with another plan. In Haitang Kingdom, there are many people who don't like blacks. Li Guang said: Not including me. However, Li Guang inspected so many places, why didn't he inspect the capital Chang'an? Because there are black prisoners of war there who are building roads and infrastructure. The situation is a bit cruel, so Li Guang, who pays attention to his image, has never gone to Chang'an.

Li Guang's idea was to first transfer the natives of the islands around Datang Island to Mozambique. Now the Portuguese don't even have a few boats, and the thousands of kilometers of coastline are certainly unbearable, which is a good opportunity for immigrants. As for how to operate, you need to go to the General Staff, to the government. Find the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to carefully scrutinize.

While thinking about this plan, Foreign Minister Gan Huiqing came to the door.

Minister Yan Huiqing, who is old and strong, has recently done a few beautiful things, which made the old gentleman radiant.

Yan Huiqing's first sentence. It aroused Li Guang's interest: "Are you interested in getting some benefits from Italy?" ”

Li Guangzheng was worried about money, and of course he was interested. He was also aware of the current situation in the Mediterranean. The situation in Italy is well known. Even those who didn't happen knew a little bit.

Since the Allied occupation of North Africa. Italy is already a definite defeat. On 9 July, the Allies, with the Airborne Forces as the vanguard, landed in Sicily.

The topography of Italy, like the calves of a woman in high heels, reaches deep into the Mediterranean. Sicily, on the other hand, is a triangular island at the tip of a heel. The Allied occupation of Sicily, there was a stepping stone. Then landing in Italy is for sure.

Italy's defeat was imminent. This does not need military experts, many people can understand it, and Minister Yan Huiqing is one of them. If you lose the battle, you will definitely bleed.

Mr. Yan definitely wants to take a ride. Pick up some benefits from this, this thing doesn't have to be guessed.

Li Guangdao: "On what grounds? ”

"We are allies, and we can't get a piece of the pie." Yan Huiqing said.

Li Guang is still a little pedantic, thinking that if he doesn't contribute, he shouldn't share the benefits.

"Excuses?" The Naval Resistance Army did not participate in the Mediterranean theater, and Li Guang felt that the reason was not sufficient.

The diplomats had a special thinking, Yan Huiqing said: "We have Italian prisoners of war in our hands and have fought with Italy, this is not the best evidence?" ”

Yes, Li Guang almost forgot. During the battle for Somalia, thousands of Italian prisoners were captured by the Navy, some of whom were released for ransom. There are still more than 2,000 Italian captives working on the road.

Yan Huiqing said: "Our army should send troops to the Mediterranean, even if it is just a gesture, I promise to get something." ”

The old gentleman patted his chest and promised. How could Li Guang not be interested, and casually divide the war compensation, it is not a small amount. Moreover, there are a lot of things that Li Guang is interested in in Italy. Italy is worse than Germany, but Italy also has the ability to manufacture fighters, and the level of its fighters is quite high. Its MC205 fighter can almost fight the P51 Mustang fighter, and the performance of the German BF109 is on par with that of the British Spitfire. This is not counting, what Li Guang attaches the most importance to is that Italy has the ability to manufacture battleships, as well as automobile and aircraft engines. This is something that Li Guang covets, and if he can get some, it will be perfect.

"Try not to fight." Li Guang instructed.

"If you can control aggression, you can't kill more. We just have to posture. ”

Li Guangguang smiled, the diplomat is amazing. The Maritime Resistance Army is here to put on a performance, hehe.

So, Li Guang took the opportunity to make a decision.

Quan Yonghai, the captain of the third submarine team, served as the commander of the navy and army, and immediately set off with an old cruiser, two torpedo boats, a seaplane carrier PJP, two army battalions, and several supply ships.

However, this is not for the purpose of fighting, and the political meaning is stronger, so the actions of the Naval Resistance Army must be under the command of Yan Huiqing. Jeon Yong-hae was in charge of specific operations.

In fact, Li Guang chose Quan Yonghai to lead the team, and it was not suitable to fight. Because Quan Yonghai has never commanded fleet operations, he has always commanded submarine operations. However, Quan Yonghai is shrewd and business-minded, and is best suited for this task.

By the way, the current captain of the seaplane carrier PJP is no longer Colonel Zhang Qianwen. Colonel Zhang Qianwen had already taken a group of men to Shixiang Island, and was getting acquainted with the captured Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga.

On 15 July, the small fleet of the Naval Resistance Army, led by Quan Yonghai and Yan Huiqing, sent troops to the Mediterranean. At this time, Haitang sent a telegram to Admiral Eisenhower, commander of the Allied forces in the Atlantic, but there was no reply. Anyway, regardless of whether the US and British forces agree or not, the Naval Resistance Army will send troops to grab the fruits of victory. Li Guang also hopes to get some benefits from Italy to fill some funding gaps. (To be continued......)
