That night, Hu Bofeng acted as an interpreter, and Li Guang and Toronov had a cordial and friendly secret conversation. You must know that Toronov was a diplomat in Germany and is fluent in German, while Hu Bofeng is fluent in German.

The first thing was that Li Guang agreed to escort the Soviets. And, a return gift was given - a thousand tons of napalm. Converted into the price of U.S. arms, it is exactly two million dollars. In other words, on the surface, the Naval Resistance Army not only did not charge a fee, but also gave the Soviet Union a gift of one million dollars in a certain way of calculation. And to a great extent, it is said that no matter whether the subsequent cooperation is successful or not, the safety of this escort will be guaranteed. It is equivalent to giving the Soviets a big package again.

The second thing is that Haitang hopes to be officially recognized by the Soviet Union, and both sides submit their credentials. This point is so important that neither the United Kingdom nor the United States has officially recognized the Haitang Kingdom, and it is a slightly ambiguous recognition that has no legal effect. The submission of the credentials signified the Soviet Union's recognition of Madagascar's extremely dependent islands as the territory of the Haitang State.

The identity of a major country has an impact on international politics that cannot be underestimated. What is the concept of the USSR, the boss of the communist-proletarian-communist world, the superpower of the future.

In Professor Yuan's words, if the thighs of the United States are not allowed to be hugged, they will be replaced. As for later, I'll talk about it later. Cooperation does not mean that Li Guang will not look for an opportunity to sneer against the Soviet Union. In short, formally gaining the recognition of a country, especially a major country, is a huge diplomatic breakthrough. It would be pointless to gain the approval of a small government like Uruguay, and Uruguay would not dare to offend France, even now that France was de facto occupied by Germany.

The third thing is that the two sides can exchange information and start arms trade. Li Guang proposed that he needed Soviet Katyusha rocket artillery. And the naval resistance army is the most capable of taking out arms. In fact, it is napalm. Those gifts are also samples, and if they are useful, the Maritime Resistance Force will have unlimited supply.

The Soviets probably wouldn't refuse to exchange. Katyusha rocket artillery is, of course, a Soviet military secret, but what time was the second half of '42? Li Guang, who is extremely poor in history, also knows that this time period is the most brutal Battle of Stalingrad in the history of World War II. The Soviets did not lack weapons and ammunition, that's hell.

Although the importance of Katyusha and napalm is no longer on the same level, the Soviet Union in a crisis will not refuse.

Katyusha rocket artillery, indeed, is a Soviet secret. But after a year of fighting, the Germans also captured it. Katyusha rocket artillery is powerful. But its manufacturing process is not very difficult. The difficulty lies in the production of solid fuels. Li Guang even knew the structure of the Katyusha, but he didn't know what its solid fuel was. Haitangguo's lack of R&D capabilities is really not as convenient as direct copycats.

In addition, Katyusha rocket artillery has obvious advantages, and its disadvantages are also prominent. It is not very necessary for the Naval Resistance Army. The advantage of Katyusha rocket artillery is that it is cheaply equipped. Just a few rails or tubes, countless times simpler than a cannon. The one-time one can shoot sixteen rockets. It can be described as a powerful firepower. But the disadvantages are also serious. The firing range is short and the cost is high. I'm afraid that the shells of the same power are not even half the cost of the Katyusha rocket launchers.

The reason why Li Guang wanted to buy rocket artillery was not only to equip the naval resistance army, but also because he was going to equip the rocket artillery jet tubes on the dexterous bombs. The Navy's own development of rocket engines is too slow, and this thing should barely be able to use.

If it's four or one year. Li Guang's request, the Soviets will definitely not consider, but in this time period, not only the Germans have rocket artillery. Even the Americans have rocket artillery. It's just that these two countries do not attach importance to such weapons. Rocket artillery is no longer owned by the Soviet Union, so it is extremely likely that the Soviets will agree to it.

In order to show his familiarity with rocket artillery, Li Guang drew a schematic diagram of rocket artillery. Toronov's mouth was wide open in shock.

Of course, Li Guang will not reveal that he does not know what solid fuel is, but he is very pretending to be forced, and said lightly that Haitang Kingdom just doesn't have time to build it, not that it can't be built. Now there was an urgent need on the battlefield in Ceylon for this weapon, which was easier to transfer than artillery, so it was purchased from the Soviet Union.

Li Guang is not Lei Feng, taking advantage of the fire to rob is the coolest.

By the way, the Spanish pirate Juan didn't make much money because he didn't have the cunning of Junjiro Koizumi, another pirate. Junjiro Koizumi is now taking a group of "refugees" to help Yuan Zi mine in Australia, and he is already a big boss, and his life is very comfortable. This Juan is now the main trade variety, napalm. And it's a semi-finished product, barrel after barrel of glued gasoline. Another mineral product is not large, but the profit is staggering - tungsten sand.

Juan and Claude were not acquainted, but met Lieutenant Commander Bickerbi, a German Navy submarine officer, on a "chance come" basis. The badass and the badass share a common language, and the two work happily together.

You can think about it a little evilly, the incendiary bombs used on the Soviet-German battlefield are all produced by Haitang, how enjoyable it must be.

As for the possibility of revealing stuffing after the war, Li Guang was not worried at all, and the factory was set up in Suriname, a small country in South America, where it was a Dutch colony. Not all the colonies were rich, Suriname was poor jingle, and there were not many Dutch people there. It's just a small place, where Juan organized three hundred pirates, and with the weapons given by Li Guang, it is already a large force in the local area. Lieutenant Commander Bickerbi of the German Navy now has his main job of pouring napalm back and forth, taking care of his own small business by the way, and it is said that life is also very prosperous.

The fourth thing.

Li Guang said that if the above conditions can be achieved, the naval resistance army will defend Tang Port to the death, and will go all out to drive the Japanese army out of Ceylon as soon as possible. This would mean that the Soviet Union's foreign aid channels would be safe, which would be of great benefit to the Soviet Union.

The fifth thing.

Li Guang hypocritically said that the Haitang Kingdom, like the Soviet Union, was not wealthy, and it had the heart but was unable to support the Soviet Union's great cause of resisting German fascism free of charge. But the merchants of the Haitang Kingdom were willing to purchase any supplies for the Soviet Union and transport them to the Persian Gulf. Li Guang also focused on recommending Haitangguo's fist product, the battery, the torpedo. In addition, there is the only kind of surplus of ammunition - mortar shells. The production of mortar shells is relatively simple, and now there is a large factory in Vladivostok specializing in the production of mortar shells, and the output is a bit excessive, it can now reach 500 tons per month, and if the production capacity is released, it can reach the scale of 1,000 tons. China simply can't afford to buy so many shells at home, and Peru and Bolivia in South America don't buy much. As a result, there was a backlog of this munition.

Li Guang pointed out that this point is completely based on fair trade and there are no strings attached.

The sixth thing is that the Haitang Kingdom wants to buy people from the Soviet Union. As long as it is a technician, whether it is a worker or an engineer. Anyway, the Soviet Union imprisoned so many political and political criminals, and most of them ended up being shot, used as fertilizer, and it was better to use waste. Li Guang generously said that he could give a good price. In addition, some of the German captives could also sell their skills to the Haitang Kingdom at a price, and Li Guang did not dislike it at all, and still offered a good price.

Haitang is really short of technicians, even with a little experience. Other places can't recruit them, so Li Guang has to think about external recruitment.

The next day, Li Guang and the Soviet diplomats parted unhappily under the gaze of the beautiful spy Rajili, and Li Guang was very stingy and said that the naval resistance army did not have the strength to help the Soviet Union escort.

In the course of the talks, Li Guang's full-time staff officer, Su Jiqing, played an inglorious role -- a German spy. Unbeknownst to the Soviets, the real spy was the lively translator Rajili.

Rajili wouldn't have known that a legalized cruiser and two destroyers had gone to sea to escort Soviet merchant ships.

As a diplomat, Toronov did not return to the Soviet Union, but stayed in Vladivostok. It is very likely that Toronov will become the ambassador of the Soviet Union to the Haitang State, and now he has sent a telegram to the country, waiting for a reply.

The officers of the General Staff were puzzled by Li Guang's abnormality, and yesterday Li Guang was still worried about whether the Maritime Resistance Army would withdraw from Ceylon. How to immediately turn to "assurance" to the Soviets that they would hold on to Ceylon.

It's a big change. (To be continued......)
