Chapter 127: The March War XVIII

The social turmoil in Uruguay caused huge economic losses to Li Guang, and Li Guang was anxious to resolve the turmoil and resume production immediately. In fact, there are many people who are more anxious than Li Guang.

The merchants of Montevideo had been trading food from the shipyards on the sixteenth day. The owner of the power plant in Montevideo, which is the largest user of electricity in the entire city of Montevideo, suffered the most from the storm. As soon as the political axe and the Maritime Resistance Army began to trade, they immediately began to send electricity to the shipyard.

The businessmen are accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder, and there are many clever people, and when they saw the reversal of the situation, they immediately closed their mouths and changed their names to Chinese and Oriental.

On 17 March, when the situation had stabilized slightly, the German minister to Argentina, Mokdor, came to the door. Mokdor is really in a hurry, two German submarines have been wandering in the waters of Uruguay for more than ten days, in a hurry to modify the battery.

Li Guang attached great importance to the business of exchanging batteries for weapons, so he naturally immediately sent people to modify batteries for German submarines.

Mokdor proposed that now the German side has prepared a large number of weapons, artillery, anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, which, according to the German ambassador, are three or four thousand tons, and if ammunition is wanted, four or five thousand tons, or even more.

The Germans wanted Li Guang to pick up the goods, and the price was extremely favorable. Artillery is at $1,500 a ton, machine guns and rifles at $2,000 a ton, barreled artillery at $1,000 a ton, and mortar ammunition at $500 a ton.

This price is very cheap, more than double the normal price, and some are even only a quarter. Don't look at it as old weapons, neither Li Guang nor the Chinese anti-Japanese army dislike them. Moreover, the Germans gave very favorable conditions, and they could pay in installments. That is, the battery could be handed over to the Germans in several installments.

It's a very tempting business. According to Germany's quotation, this batch of goods is worth more than 10 million US dollars, but in fact, Li Guang only needs to pay more than 3,000 tons of batteries.

The actual production cost of 3,000 tons of batteries is only 3 million US dollars, and if this batch of goods can be shipped to China, it will be worth at least 20 million, or even 30 million US dollars. It's a real lucrative business.

And this kind of business is simply a relief for the Chinese army. The tens of thousands of old rifles that were sent to China last time not only made a lot of money, but because of this business, Su Maode was also received by Chairman Chiang. Don't look at Su Maode and Chairman Jiang as former relatives, it is not easy for relatives in the countryside to meet the high-ranking committee members. Seeing the head of the committee immediately raised Su Maode's political status, and the difficulties suffered by all parties in doing business in China were immediately greatly reduced.

The items of ammunition that made Li Guang even more attractive were anti-aircraft guns, tanks, and several armor-piercing shells and aerial bombs. It is difficult for Li Guang to buy these things with money.

The people of the rich and wealthy people, both Li Guang and several officers of the Navy's anti-Japanese army, have said that Longtan Tiger's Den will also break through, and if this business is completed, not only will the economic predicament of the navy anti-Japanese army be alleviated, but China's anti-Japanese strength will be greatly strengthened.

It seems that the naval resistance forces won two wars in Chile and Uruguay, and also captured a battleship and a cruiser. However, logistical pressure immediately intensified, and it was already quite difficult to support the construction of one aircraft carrier, the construction of three pickup air defense destroyers, the operation of four submarines, and the regular training of the army according to the current scale of profits in all of Li Guang's industries.

Now it was necessary to spend money on the repair of battleships, and four submarines were started at the same time, and all this required money. The regular maintenance and training expenses of a battleship are not comparable to those of a submarine, and it is like a giant beast that swallows money.

For Li Guang and even the entire Naval Resistance Army, the temptation thrown by the Germans was unstoppable, and the sea of swords and fire must also be broken through.

With his determination set, Li Guang immediately set about making plans for a trip to Germany. On the 20th of July, the submarine squadron captured an 8,000-ton merchant ship in Chile. This merchant ship is the best condition of the merchant ships captured by the Maritime Resistance Army. This merchant ship is similar to the Liberty Wheel, but it is much more powerful, with a top speed of 22 knots and an economic speed of around 14 knots. As a planned trip to Europe, it is simply more suitable, and it is much higher than the various ships that Li Guang has now. Li Guang immediately ordered the merchant ship, renamed "Playchile" (PC), to immediately leave for Uruguay.

Professor Yuan Ye came forward to negotiate with the Uruguayan political axe and put forward the condition: the perpetrators of the first disturbance must be punished. The losses of the second shipyard and the Chinese must be compensated. Third, the Chinese must have a seat in the Uruguayan parliament.

At the end of March, the turmoil subsided. Laplace and six other ethnic elements were arrested, and Li Guang would never let them live this time. The loss of shipyards and Chinese personnel, the Uruguayan political axe carved out a wasteland as compensation. But this one is really big enough, 10,000 square kilometers. Except for the assets of the indigenous peoples in the area, which are to be protected, all other development and use rights belong to the Oolong Group. In foreign countries, the Chinese settlement is generally called Chinatown, and this area is large enough that Li Guang is not small, and the area is named Tangcheng.

However, the Uruguayan political axe also put forward a demand, and the naval resistance forces must be completely withdrawn from Uruguay. If a Chinese person owns a firearm, he must apply for a gun license in the same way as a white person. This time, the Uruguayan political axe was really frightened, the shipyard workers picked up thousands of rifles, and the deterrent effect was extremely great, if it were not for the considerable restraint of both sides, once the conflict escalated, it was not impossible for the whole of Montevideo to die 108,000 people.

To Li Guang's surprise, the central location of the area allocated to the development of the Oolong Group turned out to be the place he crossed. Later, Professor Yuan Ye planned a stadium there.

This turmoil caused heavy losses to the Maritime Resistance Army, delaying production for nearly a month, but the benefits are also obvious. When the Chinese showed their muscles, the white Europeans who bullied the soft and feared the hard were timid. The Chinese were given not only land, but also political equality in Uruguay.

The greater benefits are yet to come, and after gaining political status, plus a strong force to rely on. The presentation of strength is multifaceted, and force is also the most important component. The illegal fund-raising business of Oolong Bank and Oolong Shipyard has been greatly developed. The source of funding is no longer limited to tiny Uruguay, but is beginning to pour in from Argentina and Brazil. Argentina is the richest country in South America, and its financial strength is not comparable to that of tiny Uruguay.

With a steady stream of funds, the number of large and medium-sized docks in the Oolong shipyard reached a staggering 12 in 40 years, accounting for more than half of the entire South American countries.

On 1 April, Chilean political axe issued a statement saying that in order to avoid bloodshed and stand on a humanitarian standpoint, Chilean political axe is willing to hold ceasefire talks with the naval resistance forces. However, Li Guang had already taken the PC merchant ship to Europe at this time. All negotiation matters were left to the Yuan family's father and daughter.

On 2 April, Professor Yuan Ye flew to Santiago on behalf of the Naval Resistance Army and held negotiations with the Chilean political axe for three days.

What is ability? Yuan Ye took Yuan Ran, the plenipotentiary negotiation team composed of father and daughter at the negotiation table, from international law, to history, from the past 5,000 years to the future, coercion plus inducement, scoundrel plus magnificent.

On 6 April, the two sides reached a settlement in a friendly atmosphere. First, Robinson Island, Gardon Island, and its affiliated islands, Reading, broke away from Chilean rule.

Second, the two sides should cease fighting and trade freely.

Third, as the cost of repatriation of Chilean soldiers or their bodies by the Maritime Resistance Army, Chile compensated Haitang for 5,000 tons of copper and 10,000 tons of lead.

In this negotiation, there was a bit of an episode, and the Naval Resistance Army did not have a formal political body. Chairman Chiang did not recognize it to the outside world. And if China signs this treaty, not to mention that Chile will not agree, even Europe and the United States will not agree. The surname is completely different, one is a certain region of the country, and the other is a reparation for foreign land. To put it seriously, if it is signed in the name of China, it will even be China's foreign aggression. Such a consequence is something that Li Guang and China cannot afford. As a result, Professor Yuan Ye gave Li Guang, a small force, a country name - Haitang Kingdom. The full name is the Republic of Haitang Mingzhu.

Li Guang feels very strange about this name, Haitang, Begonia. It's too close to a flower name. The establishment of the country is the establishment of the country, but the country is also a little too small, and the total number of two islands plus the affiliated islands is only 300 square kilometers.

Li Guang sometimes felt that he was dreaming, and unconsciously established a small country in this time and space

The country is not only less land, but also less people. Li Guang did not hesitate to add an article to the constitution formulated by Professor Yuan Ye that Haitang recognized dual nationality and multiple nationality.

Professor Yuan Ye's solemnity, Li Guang only regarded this as a game. What country, this is not as good as even a county.

On a spring breeze drunken evening, Yuan Ran was very interested in this and talked to Li Guang about the meaning of the country's name, the first point is that most overseas Chinese call themselves Tang, and foreigners also call Chinese Tangren, and there are several Chinatowns around the world.

Second, Li Guang's surname is Li, and the most famous surnamed Li is Li Tang. Li Guang scoffed at this, he was unwilling to recognize his ancestors, and of course he had not read the family tree. However, the name Li Guang was given by his grandfather, who lived in troubled times, and the people were enslaved and invaded. The original intention of giving this name to his grandson was to hope that Li Guang would become a heroic figure like Li Guang, the general of the Han Dynasty.

The third meaning is that overseas Datang, or maritime Datang.

The little girl was full of interest, and Li Guang knew that the core of Yuan Meimei's thought was not here. The core is who is the president and who is the first lady.

Li Guang has no interest in being president, and the area under his control is too small, and the so-called president is just a county magistrate. It is said that people have a desire for power, but Li Guang seems to really like war now.

Seeing that Li Guang just didn't take advantage of this stubble, Yuan Ran was very angry, pouted and said, "No matter what you think, this Haitang Kingdom is mine anyway." Li Guangwei felt a cold sweat for the fierceness of a woman, how could this country become hers in a blink of an eye. There is a proverb in the West that men conquer the world and women conquer men.

Yuan Ran was like a little fox, and smiled slyly: "Knowing that you have a fox in your heart, I am not allowed to see Su Zizi here." ”

Li Guang was overjoyed in his heart, this was the first time that Yuan Ran had expressed a limit to accepting Su Zizi, but Yuan Ran's meaning was also obvious, she wanted to be big, and Su Zizi could only be an underground lady. This is still difficult, but it is one step closer to Li Guang's goal of embracing the left and right.

After Li Guang's hard work for a night, this goal is one step closer. Yuan Ran had a bad idea, Nauru Island, let Su Zizi stay there, Su Zizi would be a guano lady, she didn't mind.
