Since the population of the island is gradually increasing, and Li Guang has a large amount of land in Uruguay (a by-product of taking over the Laplace Bank). When Laplace went bankrupt, all his property was taken over by Li Guang. Among the real estate, Li Guang left a beautiful manor as his residence. All the others were sold. Laplace's greatest wealth, 600,000 acres of farmland, was retained by Li Guang.

Coupled with the fact that the Maritime Resistance Army is now weak, Li Guang has doubts about whether the Stone Statue Island can resist a possible attack by the Yue Army fleet. After contacting Professor Yuan, Li Guang appointed Zhang Chun, one of Professor Yuan's most proud students, as the director of the Chinese community in Uruguay. According to the agreement between Li Guang and Professor Yuan, this is all within the scope of civil affairs.

When Li Guang raised this question, Zhang Chun was not surprised at all, and came up with a resettlement plan at that time. Li Guang not only admired this, but also admired. Professor Yuan, the prospective father-in-law's long-term vision, amazed Li Guang. Since then, a new situation has been formed for the Naval Resistance Army, except for the factories and troops who remained on the island, and the people began to migrate to Uruguay.

The people who have arrived on Stone Statue Island from China are no longer the 20,000 people mentioned before, but continuously. The population is no longer confined to Anhui Province, Henan Province, and people living on the edge of life and death in China seem to have found a life-saving outlet, and they have flocked to Myanmar.

This proportion is almost insignificant for the huge Chinese population, but it is a very large number for Li Guang.

According to reports from merchant ships, the number of people waiting to board the ships in Myanmar has not decreased when they arrive again. There is already a 10,000-ton freighter and the PJP, as well as a converted dry bulk carrier, dedicated to transporting people to Shixiang Island. And capacity is far from enough. It takes three months for a ship to go back and forth, and this rhythm is simply not enough to meet the needs.

Although Li Guang instructed the Chinese people to leave compressed biscuits, most of them still relied on begging in Burma or picking wild fruits, and the situation was unbearable.

I can't imagine how things got to this point. If there is a way to live, these people will not leave their homes anyway. The people were not familiar with the Naval Resistance Army, and even Xu Zhan and Li Guang were not very familiar with it. But both Xu Zhan and the people are now going overseas with a kind of longing, not believing that Li Guang can bring them a better life, but helplessly.

The first to move to Uruguay were a group of people who arrived on Shixiang Island first, most of these people were Xu Zhan's clansmen, the families of his subordinates, the families of 300 recruits from Henan, and the families of Guangxi soldiers, so there is no need to worry about loyalty.

These family members are only a small part of them, and many of them are still coming to Statue Island from Myanmar. It was decided to distribute the 600,000 mu of land on hand to these fighters, so that their families would have a basic guarantee. Li Guang's standard was 20 acres of farmland for each soldier, and 5 acres for each family member. Officers are increased according to rank.

According to the scale of all the land owned by Li Guang at present, it is not difficult to resettle tens of thousands of people. Most of these people are either children or elderly people, and the problem of farming is not big, but the self-defense force is somewhat lacking.

Uruguay is not a paradise, the city of Montevideo is safer, and the rest of the region is full of bandits and pirates. Yang Weiwu's special squad training is all training with real guns and live ammunition of bandit pirates. Another concern is the national contradiction, the white people do not dare to discriminate against Li Guangna, but for ordinary Chinese, it is very discriminatory, now there are only more than 1,000 Chinese in Uruguay, and they all work in Li Guang's industry, the contradiction is not obvious, but in the future, the population will be large, which will inevitably cause many contradictions.

Uruguay is a flat and sparsely populated area, and it is not difficult to convince the government to allow the people to reclaim the land, let alone tens of thousands of people, even to feed millions of people.

Uruguay now has a population of less than one million, mostly living in Montevideo and along the Río de la Plata. There is a lot of undeveloped wasteland in the territory, and there is no need to worry about farmland at all.

Even if he can't convince the political axe to sell the wasteland, if he buys it, it will only cost a few tens of dollars per square kilometer, and Li Guang's current financial resources can fully support tens of thousands of people.

For security reasons, Li Guang decided to send more than 100 people who had undergone three months of basic military training but failed to pass the test into a security team, all equipped with rifles, to Uruguay. The captain of the security team is a disabled veteran of the former German mechanic - Guo Wei.

Guo Wei is a veteran even in the German armament division, and his battlefield experience and training level are quite good, but he only has a broken arm, and he has old injuries on his leg and cannot enter the main force. But the ability to lead troops is not to say, it turns out that the 100 soldiers on Nauru Island are trained by Guo Wei.

These soldiers are now all backbones in the Naval Resistance Army, Guo Wei's training is different from Su Qing, Su Qing likes to train soldiers to be all-round, while Guo Wei focuses on shooting and white-knuckle fighting. Fighting bayonet level, the fighters he trained were significantly superior.

And Li Guangwei added an item to the bayonet fighting training of the Naval Resistance Army, which made the veteran Guo Wei greatly admired. Li Guang actually didn't understand how to fight bayonets, but he had seen the US army's bayonet fighting training on the Internet. In fact, the method is very simple, that is, set up some humanoid grass targets on any terrain, and this grass target has a sticking out of the wooden stick to represent the opponent's bayonet. During the training, the fighters sprint for 100 meters over rough terrain, choosing any target, but must stab seven times.

This kind of training is closer to the battlefield than the training methods commonly used by the Chinese army at present. Guo Wei carried forward this training method, from a single assassination to a two-person assassination, or even a three-person assassination. contributed a lot to the improvement of the assassination level of the Naval Resistance Army.

Guo Wei gladly accepted to take over the security team, and said that there are no soldiers who are not well trained, and these soldiers who have not passed the exam, he will work hard to train them to become elite soldiers.

Li Guang's move immediately caused a sensation on the island. Peasants, especially those of this era, regarded the land as if it were their last name. They are willing to give everything, including their lives, for the sake of the land.

Uruguay's fields are not worth much, not as much as the country's fields, less than five dollars per acre. Li Guang didn't expect the effect to be so good, there were more than 10,000 people who had recently arrived on Stone Statue Island, of which 5,000 were recruits provided by Xu Zhan, and the rest were the families of these people.

This time, Xu Zhan recruited new recruits for Li Guang, and the quality was far inferior to the three hundred teenagers last time. Although those teenagers are a little lacking in age, they are in good physical condition. This time, the so-called recruits were not selected at all, from 14 to 40 years old, and most of their families were women and children. The people who are still in Myanmar and who are on the road are all women, children and the elderly.

These so-called recruits were in apparently poor physical condition, most of them were as thin as hemp sticks, and in fact these men had spent a considerable time starving before boarding the freighter. If it weren't for the abundance of food on board, it would be a question of whether these people would be able to resist rifles. According to Li Guang's previous standards, 1,500 of these 5,000 recruits can pass the training at most.

As soon as Li Guang's policy came out, Li Guang was stunned by the performance of these 5,000 recruits on the training ground. In order to be able to pass the training assessment, these 5,000 recruits are simply training with their lives. The more than 200 Nanyang youths brought by Lin Mouzhong are now also in the ranks of recruit training. Lin Mouzhong fought guerrilla warfare for many years, but his subordinates had never experienced such brutal training.

Every day, people are unconscious on the training ground, but whether it is a fourteen-year-old child or a forty-year-old middle-aged and elderly person, all of them have to hold on to their teeth.

Men want to earn a penny of land for their women and children, even if they pay for their lives. This is the belief of almost everyone.

Li Guang was stunned by the desperate posture of these recruits, and immediately adjusted the training intensity, and the phenomenon of tired people on the training ground had already appeared.

Merchant ships arrive on Statue Island every month, and new recruits join the training every month, but the number of recruits never exceeds 5,000. The long-term harsh living environment has caused many men in their thirties and forties to suffer physical damage, and even if Li Guang eases his training methods a little, there are many people who can't support it.

These young adults who were screened out were all arranged by Li Guang to work in the Uruguayan shipyard. These peasants have no education, but they are not afraid of hardship, and they work and learn from foreign masters. In the factory, there are some types of work, as long as you take over the practice, it doesn't actually take much time to get a full-time job. For example, electric welders, gas welders, riveters and other types of work, but it takes one or two years or even seven or eight years to reach a high technical level.

The addition of these people greatly increased the strength of the shipyard, and by the middle of 40 years, the number of Li Guang's shipyard had increased to more than 3,500 people, of whom 70 percent were Chinese.

For teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16, Li was sent to fishing boats, and when the weather was bad, they were organized to study, or military training. More than 30 teenagers were also selected to serve as heralds, and they were directly under the General Staff.

The population transfer was carried out in an orderly manner without Li Guang's heart at all. All children, women and the elderly were sent to Uruguay, and even kindergartens and primary schools were transferred to Uruguay. Along with the refugees, many of the island's indigenous people have also arrived. In just one year, many Chinese and indigenous people have married. In the war-torn era, many widows and children among the refugees married thirty or forty indigenous women under the matchmaking of Mrs. Su.

There is no discussion of interracial marriage on the island, and the natives here are not white, similar to the Han people, and it is quite acceptable. There are also many indigenous women who marry Chinese, and Chinese are hardworking and kind, and they are very popular with local women. However, the total number of locals is too small, and this is not the case.

Mrs. Su did not leave the Stone Statue Island, in her words, the Su family needed his guidance for so many industries. But Li Guang is always vigilant about this prospective mother-in-law, which is too terrifying. Especially after having the kind of relationship that is common between young men and women with Su Zizi and Yuan Ran.

Since then, the Statue Island has gradually formed an institution, and the elderly, women and children have been sent to Uruguay. Boys between the ages of 14 and 16 were assigned to fish, and young men who were able to pass three months of recruit training joined the army, while those who could not join the army were transferred to factories or to work as farmers in Uruguay.

The civil administration system of the Naval Resistance Army was gradually improved, and Shixiang Island gradually became a military and industrial base.
