PS: Thank you for the monthly pass.

What made Li Guang depressed was not only that the United States wanted to buy the Atlantic aircraft carrier, and that the procurement was blocked. Professor Yuan also pointed out in the telegram that the Americans have now set up a special department -- the Material Planning Department of the Haitang Kingdom. In other words, if Haitang wants to purchase materials in the future, it must be approved by this department, not that you can buy whatever you want.

Before Li Guang arrived at Pearl Harbor, the reward of 60 million US dollars for the naval battle of Midway had already reached the account of Haitang State.

According to the results of the Battle of Midway, the Americans converted their exploits into three aircraft carriers, and this reward was indeed not underestimated, on the contrary, it was somewhat overestimated. For an aircraft carrier, the United States offers a reward of 20 million US dollars. Although this figure cannot be compared with the cost of Japanese aircraft carriers, it is far less than all the investment funds of Japanese aircraft carriers. However, in the battle, the Naval Resistance Army actually only served as a sharp blade to break the shield, and the US military actually took on more tasks, and it was not a small amount to receive such a reward.

The big countries have the hegemony of the big powers, and the Americans have given "guidance" on the use of these money: first, American supplies must be purchased. The second is to go through the plan of the US government, which means that you can buy what you want. When you want to buy, how much you want to buy, and what materials you want to buy, all you have to listen to the United States.

Throughout World War II, the Americans spared no effort in providing assistance to Britain. However, the aid to China is only a matter of hanging appetite and not dying of hunger, and Chairman Chiang will not surrender. This is the US aid policy, and the Americans are worried that they will give too much aid to Chairman Chiang and that it will be difficult to control China in the future.

Now, it is obvious that the Americans are playing this trick again, and they want to tighten control over the Haitang Kingdom. The speed of development of the Haitang Kingdom is astonishing. The results of the First Battle of Midway shocked the United States. American politicians are worried that in time, the power of the Haitang Kingdom will grow stronger and it will no longer be able to control it.

The purpose of sucking out an aircraft carrier of the Maritime Resistance Army is not only to replenish the US warships, but also to prevent the Haitang Kingdom from growing too strongly?

And controlling the type and speed of arms purchased by the Naval Resistance Army is even more in the palm of the hand of the Naval Resistance Army's combat effectiveness.

For example, the Americans only need to control the export of fighter planes. What is the use of having aircraft carriers in the Maritime Resistance Army? Without a warplane, it's just a ship.

Moreover, the only source for the Naval Resistance Force to buy industrial products now is the United States, and the Americans can easily analyze the data. You can know the equipment of the Naval Resistance Army. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Naval Resistance Force is almost completely controlled by the United States, and it is really too passive.

－－－－－－－－－

It should be said that now the Americans also need the Naval Resistance Army to jointly fight against little Japan. However, they did not want the Naval Resistance Army to really develop and grow.

In fact, this is the reason why the Americans are using all kinds of means.

Li Guang was helpless. The Naval Resistance Force can now build submarines and produce batteries. Capable of producing torpedoes. Can build tanks. But in fact, without the United States, nothing can be made, and not even a single steel plate can be produced on its own.

The army weapons of the Naval Resistance Army were a little better, and they gained a lot in the Dunkirk retreat, and they could hardly be solved without relying on the United States. However, the naval weapons needed by the Naval Resistance Force can only be purchased from the United States. Whether it's fighters or anti-aircraft artillery.

As a traverser, Li Guang felt that his IQ was starting to be insufficient. There is no solution to this problem, and the Haitang Kingdom has no industrial base, no economic base. The Americans could easily jam all the supplies of the Dead Sea Resistance Army.

－－－－－－－－－－

Li Guang is no longer angry, he knows very well that the current Maritime Resistance Army and the current Haitang Kingdom will not be able to play without the United States.

Anger won't solve the problem.

Two things in front of you.

First, sell the USS Pacific aircraft carrier to the United States. Second, how the rewards offered by the United States should be used.

Li Guang thought about it for a night and decided that it was irresistible. It is necessary to think of fighting for more interests for the Haitang Kingdom within the rules set by the United States.

As for the aircraft carrier Pacific, Li Guang decided to give it to the US Navy for use.

The additional condition is that it will be returned to the Naval Resistance Army four or four years ago, and of course the Americans will definitely add a lot of facilities, and it will be used as rent. In four or four years, the Americans will certainly not lack aircraft carriers, and returning them to the Naval Resistance Force should be an acceptable condition for the US military.

In addition, if the aircraft carrier is sunk by the Japanese or German forces during the operation, then the Maritime Resistance Army must be returned an Essex-class regular aircraft carrier.

This is crucial, knowing that an aircraft carrier is not a hull, but a complex of various weapons and technologies. In terms of value, the hull accounts for only half of the cost of an aircraft carrier. In later generations of aircraft carriers, the proportion of hull to cost was even lower. If the Americans really hand over an Essex-class aircraft carrier to the Naval Resistance Force, then the significance is not only an aircraft carrier, but in a sense, it is to hand over the highest technology of the US Navy to the Naval Resistance Force.

Li Guang was worried that the Americans would not agree to this, although the US military would not necessarily sink the aircraft carrier. I secretly asked Professor Yuan to find Vice President Truman for an event, and in American political circles, the relationship between Hai Tang and Truman is the best.

Of course, the U.S. government will play tricks, but the U.S., as a big country, should not be reluctant. For example, although the 60 million US dollars given to the Naval Resistance Army this time were controlled by the United States, they did not repay the debt. As long as you don't pay the bill, the most you can do is to delay time, or reduce some high-tech accessories, even so, Haitang Kingdom is a big profit. In addition, Haitang Kingdom now has a little bit of confidence, that is, it unknowingly towed away Japan's Kaga aircraft carrier, and if there are some accidents in the war, it can also fill the vacancy in time.

The second question involves the fundamental strategy of the Haitang State -- the founding of the country.

$60 million in cash. That's a lot of money. The Maritime Resistance Army now has a lot of money, but there is no living money. The Navy's aircraft carriers, ships, submarines, Army tanks, artillery, artillery shells, and the war in Madagascar are consuming the strength of the Naval Resistance Army like a gold-eating beast.

And the Naval Resistance Force is now actually in a state of only going out and not entering.

Li Guang realized that if the Haitang State was to be founded, it would have its own economic foundation, and both agriculture and industry would have to make early preparations.

Not to mention anything else, the Haitang Kingdom is Madagascar that was taken from the mouth of France. After the end of World War II, I am afraid that a major war will inevitably be avoided. The French are now dead fish, which does not mean that there will be no revenge after the war. At what point, the Americans will definitely not help the naval resistance army, at most they will act as a mediator, and it is difficult to say which side they will favor.

In the immediate future, there is no economic foundation, and it must be controlled by others everywhere. This restriction is all-round, and so far only a few weapons can be manufactured in the Haitang Kingdom, not even a single rifle can be produced. And don't look at the amount of funds that the United States has aided the Haitang State several times, it cannot be compared with Britain, the Soviet Union, and China, but it is extremely necessary.

Li Guang is very clear about the economic background of the Haitang Kingdom. Includes cash and material reserves. The total amount of money in June was about $30 million.

With all the existing industries in Haitang Kingdom, the real profit is less than 10 million US dollars per year. And this figure can only be reached after the start of sales of torpedoes to the US military.

Previously, the Navy's economic resources were mainly obtained from trade with Germany, as well as speculation in Dunkirk, and the capture of battles. Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, now. Many doors were cut off, and there was no night grass. The profitability of Haitang is seriously insufficient.

And the total consumption of the Maritime Resistance Army and government departments. At the current scale, $30 million a year is needed, and if it were to be fought, the more pertinent figure would be $60 million.

In other words, all the funds of the Naval Resistance Force can be supported until the beginning of next year, plus the 60 million US dollars reward given by the Americans for their military achievements. It can be held up to the middle of four or four years. The premise is that the army remains at its current size, and there are no major surprises in the war. The number of immigrants remains at the current level.

But there were already surprises in the war, and the Japanese army began a military operation to capture Ceylon. It is certainly unrealistic for the Naval Resistance Army not to expand its troops, and it is also unrealistic for the number of immigrants not to increase. Not to increase to a certain extent. How to build a country?

If the Maritime Resistance Army does not enhance its own hematopoietic capacity, it will face a dilemma that cannot be solved by the beginning of the fourth year. And four or four years later is the time period when the allies will reap the greatest benefits. What benefits do the beggars who can't open the pot want to fight for, it's a complete joke.

However, not to mention 60 million US dollars per year, even 30 million US dollars per year is also an unattainable figure for Haitang Kingdom.

In terms of industry, Haitang is completely uncompetitive, and can only rely on a limited number of weapons to make money, and most of the annual source of 10 million US dollars is obtained from these weapons. If the Americans stop buying torpedoes and batteries, the economy of the Maritime Resistance Forces will immediately fall into an unsustainable situation.

Do you really have to find a way to do it from agriculture?

In the past, Professor Yuan Ye mentioned his idea of developing the economy. His thinking is more traditional ,-- agriculture. He believed that as long as the food supply was sufficient, the economy would easily grow. Historically, as long as there is an era of sufficient grain production, the economy is the most prosperous era. And agriculture can attract more immigrants, which is the most important point.

Li Guang felt that this idea was really unreliable. But Li Guang racked his brains, but he could only come up with an industry that was suitable for large-scale, did not require too much technical content, and was in line with the immigration policy of Haitang Kingdom.

And Li Guang, a modern person, has no interest in making money by farming. You must know that the yield of wheat or rice per acre of land in this era is only 100 kilograms, and it is still a very good yield.

The price of a ton of wheat in the United States is only fifty or sixty dollars. In other words, planting ten acres of land can create an output value of fifty or sixty US dollars. Not enough money for an M1 rifle.

However, according to the current situation in Haitang, it seems that farming is really an industry with little investment and quick results. If you really calculate carefully, you will find that farming is really an excellent industry.

First of all, there is no need to spend money to buy land, and all the land occupied in Madagascar belongs to the Haitang State. Secondly, farming can definitely achieve one input and two outputs. That is, 100% net profit.

A farmer, even a semi-laborer, is fully capable of producing twice as much food as he consumes.

Food, don't look at it as a cheap commodity, but the market is definitely not worried. Not to mention Europe's thirst for food, even India is also in dire need of food. In the first half of '42, there was a massive famine in Bangladesh, and if you sell food, you can easily make a profit several times over. And in exchange for the real hard currency - gold.

From an economic point of view, farming seems to be a really good industry. After all, there are not many industrial projects with double profits, and although the profits of the arms industry are high, the technical requirements are also high, and they will conflict with the industrial giants in the United States.

In fact, Li Guang, a modern person, is stupid, in this era, agriculture was originally an industry where labor could support a family. Of course, the premise is that you have your own land. As long as the naval resistance forces occupy Madagascar, this precondition will be solved.

When Professor Yuan Ye proposed to focus on agriculture, Li Guang thought that his economic methods were too old-fashioned. Now, after careful consideration, Li Guang feels that Professor Yuan Ye's thinking is more practical and more in line with the current situation of immigrants from the Haitang Kingdom. Most of the immigrants that Haitang was able to win were peasants who could not read a single word, and perhaps farming was really the most suitable industry.

To engage in industry, you must not only have capital, but also have technology, and you must also have talents, and the only few industries in Haitang State have already occupied all the technical personnel, and they can't open a stall at all.

Another advantage of engaging in agriculture is that although the US Government controls the use of funds in Haitang Kingdom, mainly in the area of arms, it does not control agricultural products and materials for daily life and production. The production of daily necessities is also a commodity that has not increased much in price compared with the pre-war period, and it is relatively good quality and low price.

A modern person can't think of an industrial project that can support the military spending of the Maritime Resistance Army, which is really enough for Li Guang to feel blushing.

In fact, Li Guang does not need to blush, and the annual military expenditure of $30 million to $60 million is not easy for a formal country.

Uruguay has a population of more than 2 million, but the total government revenue is only $10 million a year.

The total number of Japanese personnel is 80 million, but the military expenditure in 42 years was only 18.8 billion yen, and in fact it is already in a state of exhaustive military force.

After thinking about it, Li Guang decided to set aside 50 million yuan for Premier Yuan's full control of the 60 million US dollars, except for the $10 million to purchase necessary arms, and all industries would also be managed by Premier Yuan. Anyway, the economy and civil affairs should have been Premier Yuan's affairs.

Of course, as a modern person, he still has to make suggestions, and Li Guang can't completely let go. In the original division of labor between Li Guang and Professor Yuan, civil affairs and diplomacy were Professor Yuan's work. The civilian economy was also handled by Premier Yuan, but many industries related to the military industry were actually handled by Li Guang.

Now, Li Guang's move is actually tantamount to handing over all the economic and civil power to Premier Yuan.

Li Guang's request to the government is to provide at least $30 million a year for military spending for the Naval Resistance Forces, starting in four or three years. The burden on Premier Yuan's shoulders is not light at all.

On 12 June, Li Guang spent a whole day and night thinking behind closed doors on the Baxia No. 1 and made a final decision before landing on Pearl Harbor.

Admiral Nimitz remained amiable, gentlemanly. Li Guang now looked at Admiral Nimitz's face like a spring breeze, and his heart was greasy. This old guy was so confident before the Battle of Midway, and still is.

Regardless of whether Li Guang gives it or rents it, Admiral Nimitz, the aircraft carrier Atlantic, will definitely be able to get his hands on it anyway.

When Li Guang left Pearl Harbor, Nimitz was still very graceful to see him off. Nimitz can postur, and behind him is a powerful American power.

Li Guang thought he was generous, but he was continuously coerced by Nimitz, or the United States, and secretly made up his mind that he would definitely think of a way to make Nimitz look good and Americans look good. (To be continued......)
