When I arrived in Uruguay, it was May 15. As soon as he landed ashore, Li Guang was surrounded by Uruguayan police.

At this time, Li Guang's new guard squad leader, Yang Weichang, had just put on a defensive posture, and Li Guang hurriedly stopped it. This place is another country, not on its own turf.

However, Li Guang was not afraid, Yuan Ran had already figured out the reason, and Li Guang believed that what he could do, he could also do. To put it bluntly, I am bluffing, and I may have given some people some benefits. In terms of momentum, Li Guang naturally can't be compared with a country, but when it comes to giving benefits, it is impossible for a little devil to compare with Li Guang.

Li Guang does not understand politics, but this does not mean that he does not know the rules of Western politics. In a distant foreign land, Li Guang established such a huge business group, and his preparation was quite sufficient.

Now Li Guang has two main financial donors, that is, Li Guang's spokesman in politics. One is the doctor Larry, since he came back from China in 37 years, Li Guang has been very respectful and grateful to this doctor, and more than a dozen people on the ship are the surnames saved by Dr. Larry. Moreover, several doctors and nurses recruited by Li Guang in Guangxi also studied in Dr. Larry's hospital.

If there is kindness, it will be repaid, this is Li Guang's personality. For Dr. Larry and Ramo, Li Guang is grateful.

With Li Guang's funding, newspapers and radio repeatedly boasted that the halos of integrity, kindness and nobility overlapped, and now Larry is a member of the Uruguayan parliament.

The other is Li Guang's business partner, Captain Alfred. In just one or two years, Alfred went from a small boat owner to one of the majority shareholders of the guano business group, and his political status rose rapidly, and he was also a celebrity in Uruguayan society. However, Alfred had a lower level of education and became a councillor in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.

Originally, Li Guang had a more powerful political aid, Laplace, the chairman of the guano business group, but according to Yuan Ran's report, now Laplace has gone to the opposite side of Li Guang.

What Laplace's idea is, Li Guang knows very well, it is nothing more than wanting to monopolize the guano business group. As the saying goes, the hearts of the people who are rich and silky, Laplace adopted Li Guang's rolling loan method to develop the guano business group like flying. In less than a year, it has more than 50 dry bulk carriers. The guano business may seem to have low profit margins, but the turnover is so fast that the freighters are almost non-stop, and this simple business model is even more profitable than the traditional food trade in Uruguay. When Laplace discovered the huge benefits of this simple business model, Laplace was red-eyed.

Now Laplace has developed this business model to the limit of his time, and he only uses the profits of the guano trade to pay interest on the funds, and he can continue to develop on a rolling basis. According to this model, Laplace judged that in two or three years, Guano Business Group would become the largest company not only in Uruguay, but possibly in the whole of South America. This golden prospect had begun to burn Laplace's heart, and when he came to the door, the two sides hit it off.

Sure enough, Li Guang met Laplace in the police station that night. One of the main reasons for my protest against Uruguay is that as a neutral country, China should not be supplied with weapons. The weapons used by the Naval Resistance Force, torpedo warships, are all made in Uruguay. (Minister Ben did not know that submarines were also made in Uruguay.) The Empire threatened Uruguay that if Uruguay continued to support China, it would be possible for the empire to declare war on Uruguay, and that the situation in Spain would be affected by its relations with Germany and Italy.

Although his declaration of war and intimidation were a bit of a deterrent to Uruguay, he understood that even if he had a strong navy, he would not dare to brave the world's condemnation and travel thousands of miles to attack Uruguay.

But another type of intimidation is more damning. Now the political axe of Uruguay has no relationship with the Spaniards on the surface, but due to the existence of blood relations (there are the most Spaniards and Italians here in Uruguay. ), the Uruguayan political axe actually supported the Spanish rebels, that is, Franco's side. And here in Uruguay, there are not a few people who return to Spain to fight like Ramo. Therefore, this intimidation has affected the political axe of Uruguay. (Throughout World War II, many countries in South America actually leaned in favor of the Axis powers.) ）

For the Uruguayan political axe, although it is emotionally closer to Germany, Italy and Spain, it will not be hostile to China. Moreover, although Li Guang's assets in Uruguay are huge, they are not so easy to swallow in one bite. Dr. Larry was very supportive of Li Guang's shipyard in the council.

For Laplace, of course, he hopes to get Li Guang's shares without spending a penny, but he knows the situation in Nauru very well, and there are soldiers in the Naval Resistance Army. Laplace was not sure that he would be able to take Li Guang and deal with the Naval Resistance Army on Nauru Island at the same time. (He didn't know about Shixiang Island, the main base of the Naval Resistance Army), when he proposed to Minister Mori Zhongwu that he hoped that Morimoto use force to clear the Naval Resistance Army. Mori Zhongwu refused without hesitation, joking, it was the territory of the British, although the British did not value it, but it was not that he could use force now.

Laplace, an old fox and a businessman, knew at once which plan was best for him. Laplace's strength lies in his political influence and his grip on Li Guang. And Li Guang's advantage is that he has force on the island of Nauru.

Li Guang had been at the police station for less than a few hours before he met Laplace. Laplace first expressed false sympathy for Li Guang's injustice, and then got to the point.

Li Guang just watched Laplace's performance coldly, and Laplace was really thick-skinned. If Laplace didn't contribute to this incident, it would be a ghost who doesn't believe it.

Laplace is one of the largest financial giants in Uruguay, with the largest bank in Uruguay to his name. When it comes to influence, it is naturally much stronger than Li Guang. But Li Guang also has his own hole cards, that is, World War II will start in more than three months, and Laplace may not have time to cry by then.

Laplace expressed his willingness to solve all the troubles for Li Guang, but it is true that the weapons can no longer be produced in Uruguay, which is the meaning of the Uruguayan political axe, and he cannot do anything. However, he said that as long as Li Guang's ships were not equipped with weapons, even battleships would not be a problem.

This means that once you have built a ship, you can change the place to load your weapons.

Li Guang's normal shipyard production, battery production, or other industries will not be affected. All Laplace needed was to buy Li Guang's 25 percent stake in the guano business group. Bid $500,000.

In the end, Laplace even threw out a threat, and the $2 million bank loan has now been transferred to his name, and he will immediately apply to freeze Li Guang's enterprise.

Laplace's abacus is very good, you must know that when the guano business group was just taking shape, Li Guang sold 51 percent of the shares for one million dollars, and by this time, it had grown to such a point that it was still the old price.

Li Guang knew in his heart that he now had two million US dollars, but he was still with Huang Zhonghua, and he could pay it just by waiting for the ship to arrive. But if an arms factory cannot be established in Uruguay, it will have a huge impact on Li Guang's next plan. You can't set up your business on Stone Statue Island, right?

The Statue Island is safe there, but there is not even a power plant, and even coal needs to be bought from Chile. It's really not an ideal place for industry.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Guang also made his own conditions. Li Guang's request was simple. If Laplace's previous promise can only be fulfilled, then the shares of Guano Business Group will be sold for $1.5 million. If Li Guang's demand for the production of munitions can be satisfied, then 500,000 US dollars will be able to get 25 percent of the shares. A common requirement is a one-year extension of the $2 million loan.

Yuan Ran, who came to visit Li Guang that night, expressed extreme dissatisfaction with Li Guang's weakness, and was even willing to find Dr. Hu Shi to help resolve diplomatic disputes.

Li Guang said with a smile: "Mountain people have their own clever plans. ”

Man, it's okay if you don't have any skills? There has to be a sense of mystery. Li Guang did not reveal his hole cards.

For Yuan Ran's confusion, Li Guang was secretly happy in his heart. Wait for the final card to come out, so isn't it a shock to the tiger's body, attracting beautiful women to throw their arms?

Two days later, Laplace replied that torpedoes could continue to be produced in Uruguay, but it was true that shells and cannons could not be produced in Uruguay. This is the meaning of the high-ranking officials of the political axe, and he is powerless.

According to Dr. Larry's report, the current political faction in Uruguay has no sympathy for China's resistance, and they do not want to affect Uruguay's relations with Uruguay, or with Germany, Italy, and Spain because of Li Guang's production of arms.

Since Laplace could not meet Li Guang's requirements, and Li Guang was not worried about Laplace's financial threat at all. So in the process of bargaining, Li Guang did not suffer much. After several arguments and bargaining, Li Guang decided to sell 25 percent of his shares for $1 million. The additional condition is that the $2 million loan will be extended for one year, and Laplace will not be allowed to ask for funds halfway, otherwise he will double the compensation for Li Guang's losses. As for the sales direction of the guano business group, Li Guang simply did not say.

At that time, the entire business group has nothing to do with itself, and it is not enough to fight as much as you want? And it was safer than the merchant ships of the Uruguay army, which consisted of three warships, a cruiser and two destroyers, all of which were rags left over from the First World War, and the rest were some dilapidated gunboats and speedboats, not even a torpedo boat. The condition of these warships is extremely poor, and I am afraid that it is difficult to even sail to the sea, let alone go to sea to fight, in short, there is no way to escort them.

When Li Guang signed the contract, he left a small hand. The Naval Resistance Force can withdraw from Nauru Island, but there are still two pirates there, Juan and Junjiro Koizumi.
