Before and after World War II, it was normal for countries to tear up treaties with each other, but abiding by treaties was an anomaly. Li Guangke was not naïve, and when he signed the treaty, the Chilean political axe would cease. Chile's powerful economic strength alone is definitely not comparable to that of the small naval resistance army, and now Chile is only disabled by a sneak attack and the navy has to negotiate, and the delay is very obvious. But no matter how obvious it is, Li Guang can't find a more effective way to deal with Chile. In the final analysis, it is a disparity in strength.

If you want to keep the Haitang Kingdom, the only way is to continue to increase your strength.

The time entered April, and the European battlefield entered a stage of fierce competition. Not only did the war at sea become more intense, but Germany also resumed its land assault, sharpening its knives and killing Denmark and Norway in the north.

Trade with Germany was a means of increasing strength, but this conventional pace of development still could not meet the needs of the naval resistance army.

Li Guang once again has a long-term vision, and the people who travel only know that the step-by-step business and trade is really disappointing to the readers, and Li Guang thinks that the next opportunity for huge profits is the Dunkirk retreat.

He once saw an online article on the Internet that in the second half of the 40s, the Americans made a deal with the British, and the United States exchanged 50 destroyers for many British military ports in the Atlantic. Nominally, of course, the British speak in a high-sounding manner. For the sake of the selfless help of the Americans, the Americans were given a few inconsequential desert islands.

Compared with destroyers, Li Guang believes that the British and French forces value so many soldiers more. For this most famous retreat in history, Li Guangke is very familiar with it. No matter which country is political, there is a tradition of treating funerals as happy events in publicity. The British did not face the Chinese people and the world for the defeat of the coalition forces. I had to dig up the bright spots and trumpeting the Dunkirk retreat. Moreover, it has been shamelessly publicized for decades, and Li Guang, who is blind in history, remembers it clearly. Then it shouldn't be very difficult to help the British and French forces in exchange for some benefits.

For the Maritime Resistance Force, its own R&D and production are very important, but relying on R&D and production alone is absolutely not enough. The deal with the Germans was very fruitful, and if it weren't for the tens of thousands of rifles and machine guns from the Germans, it would have been really difficult for the Naval Resistance Army to tide over this difficulty. Regardless of the fighting power of the workers, thousands of guns are a powerful deterrent.

The salvage of the wreck went extremely smoothly, and Li Guang tasted the sweetness from it. Don't look at the direct income is only a few hundred thousand dollars, but the indirect technology and materials have greatly improved the naval resistance force.

All of this translates into strength, and there is one most important thing - money. And Dunkirk Beach is undoubtedly another opportunity for Li Guang to make huge profits.

Uruguay was still in the process of negotiations, and when the Chilean issue was still unresolved, Li Guang had already taken the merchant ship PC to Europe.

On 8 April, the merchant ship PC crossed the South Atlantic Ocean and docked at Cape Verde in Africa to replenish supplies. The surname of the PC merchant ship can be good, but after all, it is also a coal-fired boiler, and the power consumption is greater, and in order to ensure the trip to Europe, it is necessary to replenish the supplies.

Cape Verde is an ideal supply point, at this time Cape Verde is still a French colony, and Algeria, not far from Cape Verde, has the most important French military port in Africa--- the Mirskbir military port, and the German submarines have not yet made small moves here.

Cape Verde is geographically important to Africa, although there are no French troops stationed here, but due to the ease of transportation, the seafaring service here is quite complete. Many merchant ships were replenished and repaired here.

For Li Guang, resupplying in Cape Verde is not the most important thing. On this trip to Europe, Li Guang had an element of gambling, but it was not Li Guang's style to joke about his own life. Without an escort, a merchant ship passing through the North Atlantic, crossing the North Sea, and heading for the Baltic Sea is absolutely lifeless. Cape Verde is the site of the planned rendezvous of four submarines.

Another important reason for being at the foot of Cape Verde is that there is an intercontinental telegraph system, which allows Li Guang to contact Uruguay or Singapore.

Sailing in the South Atlantic is not very dangerous, but the North Atlantic is full of dangers, and before the escort submarine arrived, Li Guang and his crew enjoyed the African style for two days.

Four submarines of the 10th Maritime Resistance Army rushed to Cape Verde.

On the 11th, a merchant ship PC was in the center, and four submarines escorted the front and rear and left and right respectively, and the brigade sailed mightily towards the North Atlantic.

One of the special features of the PC merchant ship is that a 400-horsepower diesel engine is specially installed on this freighter, driving a 180-kilowatt electric motor to supply electricity to the entire ship.

In the center of the ship, a lampstand was arranged on the superstructure. There are eight high-powered searchlights on the menorah. In the bilge, there is an extremely quiet small cabin, equipped with sonar equipment. This is a facility specially installed by Li Guang during his short stay in Uruguay.

Now the configuration of this ship and the destroyer Pickup are the same idea, but now there is a lack of anti-aircraft guns and other weapons, Li Guang hopes to get some anti-aircraft guns to equip this ship in this long-distance trade.

On either side of the ship there are a few inconspicuous objects, rows of pipes, pointing diagonally towards the sky. This is the magic weapon of the Maritime Resistance Force -- the depth charge projectile.

Originally, the PC had the foundation to transform into an armed merchant ship, but due to the urgency of time, it had to be added to this pitiful weapon and hurriedly embarked on the journey. The PC was still a new ship, built in the UK, and less than a year after it was launched, it fell into the hands of the Maritime Resistance Army. If you talk about the cost, don't look at it, it can only carry 8,000 tons, but in fact it is much higher than the free wheel with a load of more than 9,000 tons. Its dead weight is about 7,500 tons, and its total displacement is about the same as that of a free wheel. The engine is more than five times more powerful than the freewheel.

Whether it was a submarine or a warship, the PJP accompanied them as a supply ship. But the PJP was too slow and out of harmony with the fleet's sailing. Now that there is a PC number, the maximum speed can reach 22 knots, and Li Guang decided to return without hesitation and convert this ship into a fleet supply ship. In his plans, the ship could even be equipped with catapults and several water reconnaissance aircraft.

The destination of the trade was not in Germany, but in Gdansk, a Polish seaport in the Baltic Sea. Ammunition, ammunition and other materials were also all some rags captured by the Germans in Poland and the Czech Republic.

The Czech Republic was actually occupied by Nazi Germany earlier than Poland, and was already under German control as early as March of the 39th year. But at that time, the appeased Britain and France only chirped a few crooked words on their lips.

Originally, in Li Guang's impression, the Czech Republic was still a country with relatively advanced weapons, but Poland was not even a soy sauce player in World War II, and it was purely a country of cannon fodder. But after Li Guang learned about it in many ways, he realized that it was wrong to underestimate people.

Poland before World War II, although still an agrarian country, was tactically backward even to the point where cavalry wielded sabers and German armored units PK. But there is one statistic that is extremely staggering: the gross national product is nearly $20 billion. It's not inferior to the book.

In such a country, even if it cannot manufacture any weapons, there is no problem at all in buying weapons.

In the list of weapons and ammunition given by the German Minister to Mokdor in Argentina, there are many good weapons.

The small arms of these two countries are generally armed with a Czech rifle, the VZ24. In fact, this gun is the same type of gun as the Mauser 1924 standard rifle, and it is the same as the Zhongzheng rifle used by the [***] team. In the evaluation of the Germans, the quality of this Czech-made K98 is better than that of the German-made K98. This rifle was one of Li Guang's most important targets, because the bullet it used was the same model as the Chinese army's Zhongzheng rifle. For this rifle alone, the Germans collected as many as 150,000 rifles weighing more than 600 tons.

And the Czech-made ZB-37 air-cooled heavy machine gun in Brno, Czech Republic, is even more good. In fact, even the German [***] side liked to use it, and gave the MG37 number (the famous MG42 in Germany from World War II is still on the drawing). The Chinese army had purchased 1,000 before the Anti-Japanese War. The quality is good, and I don't say it. However, although Li Guang was jealous of this weapon, the Germans were not stupid, and only provided 1,000 pieces. The Germans released the water-cooled Maxim heavy machine gun for mass sales, according to the description of the German minister Mokdor, there were tens of thousands, and if there was enough time, they could even get 20,000 units.

Light machine guns, weapons of this category, the Germans are not very generous, but the Czech-made light machine gun ZB26 is exactly the same as the light machine gun used by the Chinese army, and even the parts are universal. (The light machine guns used in large quantities in China were originally copied from the Czech.) The Germans were very generous with this gun and prepared a full 10,000 old goods for Li Guang. Anyway, now that Germany has completely controlled the Czech Republic, and these old goods are disposed of, it is not a big problem for the Germans to produce 10,000 more.

It's just that there are so many kinds of them. And it is not a batch, and some varieties only have three or five doors. The production of artillery was not something that could be done overnight, and the rich and powerful Germany was not willing to dispose of captured artillery cheaply. You must know that the Czech Republic is known as the kingdom of European weapons, and the level of artillery manufacturing before World War II was not much worse than that of Germany, and in some respects it was far exceeded. And Poland's backward industrial level, but Poland's purchase of the Swedish Bufos series of artillery is a good thing in the world.

Li Guang was not very satisfied with the artillery weapons in this trade. The Germans only took out less than 100 75mm mountain guns and field guns of the Bufos and Skoda series and 105mm howitzers made in the Czech Republic.

Of course, there are not only these guns on the German artillery list, but most of them are old World War I gadgets, and the sheer number of them is staggering. Li Guang can no longer be regarded as a military novice, and he also has some understanding of the use of artillery. Artillery requires not only range power, but also light weight. Poland had a 75mm gun that weighed one ton seven and had a range of less than six kilometers. This thing is put on the battlefield, let alone Europe, even on the battlefield in China, it is also a surname consumable. It is too heavy, and it is extremely inconvenient to move the battlefield. Li Guang is just picking up rags, and he will not be an idiot to buy scrap iron and go back.

Anti-tank guns and anti-tank gunsThe Germans did not look down on Polish and Czech products, but prepared more than 100 anti-tank guns of various calibers and more than 1,000 anti-tank guns for Li Guang. The Germans also prepared nearly 100 anti-aircraft guns of various kinds urgently needed on the PC merchant ship, which Li Guang was quite satisfied with. Anti-aircraft artillery in this era is considered a nobility among artillery of the same caliber. For example, with the same 47-mm gun, the price of an anti-aircraft gun is more than twice that of an infantry gun, and even five times that of an infantry gun.

At Li Guang's strong request, the Germans agreed to provide 24 TNHP-S light tanks (which were continued to be used by Germany, known as PZKPFW38 - the famous 38T, and the chassis of the Stalker was it), which was a famous tank made in the Czech Republic, although it was not famous in the history of World War II, but it was definitely not backward in the 40s, and the Germans' evaluation of this ten-ton tank was above the No. 3 tank, and now a large number of German armored forces have been equipped.

It was also Li Guang's strong request for tanks, and the Germans also gave an unplanned list. This is something that the Germans look down upon - tanks, Polish tanks.

To say that Polish light weapons are quite meritorious, when it comes to tanks, it is simply garbage in the garbage. But Li Guang thought about it for a while and decided to purchase a part.

His purpose was not to use it as a tank, but as a training equipment. Or remove the turret as a trailer for the artillery. The Germans gave this thing cheaply, one hundred and fifty dollars a ton. The tank territory produced by Li Guang himself is good, but the cost is too high, and it is not cost-effective to use it to tow artillery. Even training, the attrition is extremely serious, and a tank has to be overhauled once it tosses two or three thousand kilometers. In Li Guang's words, the poor have to think of ways to save money in training.

Although the weapons provided by the Germans were extremely tempting to Li Guang, the largest number of categories was the most important for Li Guang -- ammunition.

In Poland, the Germans captured more than enough shells of various types. Among them is the 150mm armor-piercing bullet that Li Guang desperately needs. (The Naval Resistance Army uses 152mm, but it can be used by replacing the sealing copper ring on the shell), and all kinds of aerial bombs are three or four hundred tons. The most striking thing is the mortar shells, there are just a lot of them. Since these mortars and shells were made by Poland itself, the quality and power were difficult to compare with those made in Germany, so the German [***] side disdained them.

If Li Guang wasn't a little picky, just these mortars and shells would be enough for Li Guang to pull a boat. The Germans cleaned up the homes of the two countries, and even the weapons and ammunition they looked down on were not something that Li Guang could afford.

Even if the Germans offered such a cheap price, it would be impossible for Li Guang to pack up the Germans' seizures without three or five hundred million dollars.

The foundation of the Navy's resistance army is too thin, and a few small ammunition factories simply cannot meet their own needs or those that supply them to the country. Li Guang has been thinking about another question along the way, next time.

What will you trade with the Germans next time? The only thing that Li Guang can get his hands on is the battery. However, according to the current production capacity of Shixiangdao, 500 tons a month is full horsepower, and the production capacity of only 6,000 tons a year is only 18 million output value, and the profit is only 15 million US dollars.

Li Guang sighed: "There is a long way to go." "Look up at the sea and the sky ahead.
