Chapter Thirty-Seven: Becoming an Army

On May 1, the pickup ended its trip to Germany and returned to Uruguay. Li Guang held a military meeting with Zheng Xuechang, Su Qing, and several officers. This meeting is something that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time, and it must be held, and at this point, Li Guang's plan has been initially realized, and it is time to build the army.

Now everyone has understood the surname of Li Guang's army, and to put it bluntly, it is very similar to the private army.

As a visitor from later generations, Li Guang was well aware of the harm that warlord thinking would do to the country, and he did not want this armed force to go astray. At this meeting, Li Guang made it very clear that he would definitely not become his Li Guang's private army by forming this army. This is an army that belongs to China, and its purpose is to fight for the reading power of China's reading power and the reading power of the nation.

The meeting decided on the name of this army, the Chinese Overseas Resistance Army. For the time being, due to its small scale, it is called the China Overseas Anti-Japanese Detachment. Abbreviated as the Maritime Resistance Army.

For a person, a name may just be a code name. But for an army, the name bears a greater significance, a sense of belonging, honor and pride.

After establishing his name, Li Guang felt that the spirit of the entire army had reached a higher level. In the end, everyone made a decision to wait for the Pixiu to be launched and have combat capability before applying to the national government for a number. Because now to be honest, these officers still feel a little untrue about this name. After all, only one pickup can barely be counted as a warship. They all wanted to wait for the Pixiu to be launched, when there was a real warship after all.

The reason why this name did not use the name of the Navy took care of Su Qing's officers who had serious army circumstances. The name is very inclusive, you can have a navy, you can have an air force, you can have an army. It's a joy for all.

But it will take a long time to achieve the name.

Now that Robinson Island and Easter Island have become the bases of the coastal resistance detachment, one thing that Li Guang had been worried about has finally come to fruition.

Immediately send the pickup with supplies and personnel to the two islands to build bases, especially to build radio stations and ports.

Don't look at Li Guang, he doesn't understand army operations, but he has seen a lot of movies and television, and he also knows a little about landing battles and island operations. Several training subjects were set for the Marine Corps, and it was required that the training must be rigorous. Robinson Island's complex terrain and undulating hills make it ideal for Marine Corps exercises, making it a training base for the Marine Corps.

Easter Island, on the other hand, is located in the center of the South Pacific, almost isolated, and not on a shipping route, making it ideal for secrecy. As a result, it became a naval base.

Li Guang demanded that everyone keep the situation of these two islands strictly secret, and once Uruguay was known to himself, the two small islands would be the core bases of the Maritime Resistance Force.

In order to maintain secrecy, Li Guang did not even use the ships of the Guano Commercial Group to transport the supplies, and kept using pickup trucks to transport them back and forth.

It cost a little more, but it quickly trained a group of crews for the Naval Resistance Army. Now Li Guang not only has the crew of two giant ships carrying guano and the crew of the pickup, but if there are two more ships, they will be able to fully equip the crew, which is a great achievement for the Maritime Resistance Army. After all, it is not easy to train a group of marines, but it is even more difficult to train a group of sailors who can sail on the oceans.

The time lasted until July of the 38th year, and in more than two months, the pickup truck made five round-trips, and finally transported all the personnel to the two islands, and the dock has been initially established.

In this way, Li Guang was relieved a lot, and he didn't have to worry about the Uruguayan side discovering his army. It is too dangerous for a military force to be in the waters of another country for a long time, and once it is discovered, it will be an uproar. Li Guang's current influence in the business world is still difficult to settle this kind of thing.

By August, Li Guang's status in Uruguay had risen to a fairly high status. The shipyard already has more than 650 workers and is expanding. The monthly tax payment is also more than $10,000.

This is not a small number, but a full one percent of the finances of Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Li Guang was already considered to be the upper echelon of celebrities in Montevideo at this time.

Europeans generally look down on the Chinese, but they look down on money. And the careers that Li Guang is engaged in in their eyes are all relatively high-end industries. Compared with the agricultural estates engaged in by Europeans or mining some gems, it is closer to the mainstream of the world. It has also given Uruguay some signs of industrialization, which is very welcome for the political axe.

On this day, Director Arthur found Li Guang and handed him an invitation. Li Guang was invited to the Montevideo Industrial and Commercial Dinner.

Li Guang has never been aware of this at all, the country is still being invaded and abused, and the soldiers and people are paying huge sacrifices every moment, and he has little interest in this kind of social interaction at all.

However, Director Arthur's suggestion was still acceptable to Li Guang, a Jew who possessed all the qualities of a merchant and was extremely committed to the spirit of contract. In fact, Jews are indeed not very popular in white circles in Europe, and Hitler's anti-Semitism is also supported by some society. Arthur's factory director is not only highly used by Li Guang, but also his salary has reached 350 US dollars per month, which is quite high among the white-collar class in Uruguay. Arthur was quite happy with his current situation.

At the suggestion of Director Arthur, this kind of commercial cocktail party should still be attended. In fact, this kind of business reception is also a place to talk about business. Several businessmen have already expressed their desire to join the Guano Business Group to Director Arthur.

Recently, guano business groups have shipped back nearly 10,000 tons of guano, creating a boom in Uruguay's agricultural circles. This thing stinks, but it's much cheaper than fertilizer in the United States, and it works well. Any person can find a huge benefit, don't look at Uruguay is small, but this is also a country, if you want to meet the demand, you can have a million tons of supply every year.

Even if you only make one dollar per ton, it is millions of dollars, and anyone will calculate this account. As soon as the businessmen saw that there was money to be made, they were immediately motivated. No, when Li Guang had no intention of approaching the upper class of Uruguay, he had already been pulled into the upper class by these businessmen and celebrities.

Whether a person can integrate into the local upper class society or not, the key is only one point - strength. As long as you have the strength, then you will naturally be the upper level, and relying on drilling camps and squeezing your head can only be inferior.

To participate in the upper-class cocktail party, it is natural to have a little rule. Li Guang was dressed in an evening dress, brought a female companion, and accompanied by ten bodyguards, Shi Shiran arrived at the most luxurious hotel in Montevideo.

The female companion is naturally the beautiful and generous Yuan Ran, since the last time the two had a little bit of super friendship, Li Guang has always felt a little guilty, Su Zizi is far away in Panama, and he is actually distracted.

Facing Yuan Ran's enthusiastic gaze, Li Guang was a little apologetic. Li Guangke didn't dare to think about hugging left and right, although there are many men who take concubines in China these days, but these two beauties, Li Guangke has never dared to fight this idea. Just kidding, these two are the new female surnames of the times.

Su Zizi was able to shatter Li Guang's careful liver with just a sad expression, and just by seeing that Yuan Ran could accomplish such a brilliant thing in a foreign country, he knew that his means were superb. If Li Guang has the mind of hugging left and right, it is estimated that ** will definitely be a frost knife hidden weapon taking off, and Li Guangxiu wants to enjoy the blessings of all people.

However, when Li Guang saw Yuan Ran, who was wearing a low-cut evening dress and was full of radiant lights, his brain was a little stunned. A thought came to mind, if Yuan Ran was singing at that time, and Li Guang saw Yuan Ran at first sight, would he be chasing Yuan Ran.

When Li Guang came back to his senses in a half-stupid state, Yuan Ran smiled proudly in his heart, she could see all Li Guang's expressions clearly, Sister Yuan was dressed up so attentively, there was no effect?

Yuan Ran and Su Zizi are good friends, but Yuan Ran and Su Zizi are completely different people, she takes the initiative and she pursues. She has a strong sense of competition, and at the same time she doesn't think there's anything wrong with stealing a boyfriend who is a good friend. What's more, Yuan Ran still knew a little secret of Su Zizi.

At the reception that night, Li Guang was highly respected, and Yuan Ran shone. Yuan Ran's demeanor not only made the women at the reception jealous, but also played a good piano that made the audience applaud warmly.

It is natural that Li Guang is revered, and several businessmen with heads and faces are now asking for Li Guang. In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, Li Guang talked about his biggest business since he arrived in this time and space.

More than a dozen businessmen partnered to contribute $1 million, including $200,000 from the financial giant Laplace. Integrate into Li Guang's guano business group, accounting for 51% of the shares.

Li Guangda laughed, these people thought that if they had a controlling stake, they would be able to control this guano commercial trade, which was a big mistake.

If you want to make money, you can. But if you want to control it, Li Guang knows a little bit of history, and they will cry when the time comes.

Li Guang naturally agreed to such a good thing quickly. So much so that Director Arthur was a little dissatisfied, but Li Guang had a posture of a mountain man with his own clever plan, which made Arthur a little depressed.

It is easy to do things with money, although the position of chairman is occupied by Laplace, but in the face of money, everyone's opinion is the same at this time. One million dollars quickly turned into an order for ten 4,000-ton dry bulk carriers.

Li Guang's shipyard immediately recruited workers again. In just one month, the shipbuilding department alone amounted to six hundred and fifty people. Four freighters started work together. At its peak, six ships were launched every month, and by the end of the year, the Guano Trading Group had reached a staggering 36 dry bulk vessels, the largest in all of South America. Although the speed of shipbuilding has slowed down in the past 39 years, it still maintains the rate of launching two ships per month. By the end of the 39th year, this guano business group owned 60 bulk carriers.

Obviously, Laplace, a financial giant, is addicted to Li Guang's game of shipbuilding, loans, and shipbuilding, and has achieved real rolling development and unconventional development. At the end of the year, Guano Business Group was already the largest enterprise in Uruguay, with assets of tens of millions of dollars. (The bank has a debt of $7 million.) Net worth of $3 million. Commercial outlets throughout South America.

What is even more terrifying is that this business group is the largest customer of loans in various banks in Uruguay.

Before February 39, the guano trade sent 500,000 tons to Guangxi. These 500,000 tons of guano are enough to ensure that the yield of 10 million acres of fields can be increased in three years. As far as Guangxi is concerned, increasing its annual grain output by one million tons is not a small amount, and it can feed more than 2 million troops. Not only for Guangxi, but also for the whole of China's anti-Japanese war has played an immeasurable role.

In February 39, the navy cut off the shipping channel in the North Sea, and the guano trade began to shift to Uruguay and Argentina, as well as Brazil, Chile and other countries.

In October of the 38th year, there were already 5,000 workers on the island of Nauru. There are Chinese, there are Nanyangs. Among them, 2,000 Chinese were young and strong recruited by Li Guang on the coast. The Nanseas, on the other hand, are the work of two pirates. Juan and Junjiro Koizumi are now part-time slave traders for pirates. The two bad breeds desperately squeezed these Nanyang people, digging up a ton of guano was just a barely enough meal, and the two made a fortune as a result.
