In fact, Li Guang is definitely not the only one in the Maritime Resistance Army who is busy for money. One of Professor Yuan's series of work in the UK is selling batteries. The business community represented by Sulmud is not only working hard to develop domestic goods, but also several industries in Uruguay, but also constantly tossing on the sea. In order to be able to provide more funds for the Maritime Resistance Force in the future.

Su Zizi has been in the United States for more than half a year, and has been holding concert tours everywhere, raising funds for the anti-Japanese cause and winning the support of public opinion among Americans.

In the blink of an eye, Li Guang sent Yuan Ran to Africa again. The reason is simple, because the salvage team made huge profits in the process of salvaging German battleships. NOT ONLY DID HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF STEEL COME IN, BUT TWO 280MM GUNS WERE SALVAGED. IF YOU COUNT THE VALUE, THE VALUE OF THESE TWO 280MM GUNS IS NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS. MORE IMPORTANTLY, WITH THESE TWO 280MM MAIN GUNS, THE DEFENSE SYSTEM OF THE STONE STATUE ISLAND WAS FURTHER IMPROVED, AND THERE WAS AN IMPORTANT MEANS OF FIGHTING THE BATTLESHIPS.

It was because of this that Yuan Ran volunteered to lead a team to Africa to continue to develop the salvage cause of the Maritime Resistance Army. You must know that the British attacked the French fleet on July 3, and again on September 3, and sank many French warships in two operations.

In particular, the attack that had just taken place was fought at the military port of Dakar on the African continent adjacent to Cape Verde.

You must know that the Naval Resistance Army and France have a holiday, Li Guang is worried about Yuan Ran's safety, and he does not want him to go to Africa to take risks.

But Yuan Ran's eyes are simply shining for such things, she likes it. Yuan Ran and Su Zizi are two completely different women, if it weren't for the needs of the Maritime Resistance Army, Su Zizi would not have gone to the ocean at all. And Yuan Ran likes challenges in his bones, and when Yuan Ran talked about her plan, Li Guang also supported it. However, Yuan Ran took the Jewish beauty Rajili away, ostensibly because Rajili had some business acumen, and after the business was launched, it should be able to maintain the business of the salvage team.

In fact, I am afraid that I am worried about Li Guang's perseverance.

September 5 was a good day for Li Guang. On this day, Peruvian and Bolivian diplomats came to the Statue Island together.

Yang Weiwu's special squad, the activities of the past six months have finally seen results. The conflict between Bolivia and Peru on the one hand, on the other, and Chile on the other, developed from skirmishes at the squad and platoon level on the border to a confrontation at the regimental and divisional levels. Don't look at the Chilean Navy almost scrapped, but the three South American powers are not called in vain. Even if the two countries join forces to fight against Chile, there is great pressure, no, come to the Stone Statue Island to pull allies.

Although Yang Weiwu's special squad made trouble in this war, the most fundamental reason was that the balance of power in South America was broken. With Chile losing most of its navy, it was difficult to deter the West Coast countries of South America. It is not known whether there was any instigation from the other two South American powers. Li Guang is sure that Brazil and Argentina, even if they are not prepared to enter the war themselves, will definitely not miss the opportunity to weaken Chile.

Peru and Bolivia sent their foreign ministers to visit the Statue Island for no other reason than to have one purpose - to join forces with the Naval Resistance Force against Chile.

The stakes are so high that Li Guang couldn't figure out the pros and cons for a while. Anyway, dealing with Chile is obviously beneficial to the Naval Resistance Army and solves the worries of the Naval Resistance Army, but it will inevitably contain the strength of the Naval Resistance Army, and it will not be able to go all out to fight the Japanese army.

Li Guangke was not naïve to think that such a national war would end in a few months, and the terrain of Chile was different from that of Europe, which was full of endless mountain ranges. Even if it is as strong as the German army, it will not be easy to defeat Chile quickly. Even if Chile is in a weak position, it will not lose quickly, and it seems that Chile will definitely not be weak at the moment. This battle may take several years, and this is something that Li Guang does not want to see.

Of course. The stakes are even greater. If you win, the benefits are amazing. The benefits of national victory and defeat can be seen in the German occupation of France. Li Guang's way of thinking is becoming more and more immoral, and he is now forced to be anxious by money.

It is a matter of national war, for the Haitang Kingdom, and for the Naval Resistance Army. Li Guang, as the supreme leader of the Naval Resistance Army, cannot be decided in a single word. Whether he joined the Peruvian Bolivian coalition or not, Li Guang needed to consult with Professor Yuan Ye and several core military officers.

Therefore, Li Guang did not give the ambassadors of the two countries a final conclusion for the time being, on the grounds that it must go through the parliament before making a decision. While holding talks with the foreign ministers of the two countries, Li Guang contacted Professor Yuan Ye and asked him to return to Shixiang Island as soon as possible.

Although Li Guang could not make the decision to fight or not to fight on his own, there was one thing that was very tempting for both sides -- the arms trade.

The Naval Resistance Army's trip to Dunkirk benefited enormously. But these almost brand new weapons have one great flaw.

Although the light and heavy weapons used by the Chinese army in China are also made in various countries, after years of efforts by the government, the specifications of bullets and shells are relatively uniform.

FOR EXAMPLE, RIFLE LIGHT MACHINE GUN HEAVY MACHINE GUN BULLETS ARE ALL 7.92MM. This is not consistent with the caliber of the standard weapons of France and Britain, and if Li Guang supplies these weapons to China, it will inevitably increase the logistical burden of the Chinese army.

IN ADDITION TO THE 75MM FREN-MADE FIELD GUN AND THE 105MM BRITISH-MADE HOWITZER, THE 105MM CANNON IS OF THE SAME CALIBER AS THE COMMONLY USED DOMESTIC ARTILLERY. More artillery guns were of different calibers than Chinese artillery. FOR EXAMPLE, 85MM FIELD ARTILLERY, 115MM HOWITZER, 152MM HOWITZER, 155MM CANNON.

Li Guang is well aware of the difficulty of one artillery shell production line, and the two artillery shell production lines on Shixiang Island have already tossed the technicians enough. The production of artillery shells requires not only equipment, but also technological technology. The seemingly basic industry is not simple in essence, and so far the armor-piercing and anti-aircraft artillery shells of the Naval Resistance Army do not have the production capacity. Selling all the equipment of Britain and France to China will not only fail to form support for the Chinese army, which is already weak in supply, but will even become a burden.

Peru and Bolivia use weapons that are both British and legal, and are the best sellers. Sell weapons to these two countries for a better price. And it is even more supportive of the war between the two countries against Chile. To confront Chile is to reduce the pressure on Chile's naval resistance forces. This kind of business is simply killing two birds with one stone, three eagles.

This kind of business was extremely beneficial to all three parties, and Li Guang promised that the two countries could use copper, lead, explosives and other materials to pay for the goods, and the two sides simply hit it off.

Peru and Bolivia are rich in minerals, and even explosives are famous in the world. Both countries have abundant saltpeter mines, which were used as raw materials before the advent of synthetic explosives. Saltpeter mines brought benefits to these two countries, and also brought war to these two countries. The animosity between Peru and Chile was actually caused by the struggle for saltpeter mines decades ago.

Peru was the main source of trade on the Statues, especially after the war with Chile.

In this way, before Premier Yuan Ye returned, the three parties made a big business worth 15 million US dollars.

The huge proceeds from the trip to Europe were sold out at once, with rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and miscellaneous artillery and bullets sold out. The selling price of these weapons and ammunition was all new weapons, which was nearly double the price that Li Guang expected to sell to Chairman Chiang. The Navy's resistance forces also received 20,000 tons of lead (about $200 per ton), 10,000 tons of copper (about $1,000 per ton), and nearly 1,000 tons of explosives (about $4,000 per ton) from these two countries. The three parties to the transaction can be said to take what they need, and they are all happy.

IN FACT, MORE COULD HAVE BEEN SOLD, SUCH AS THE LEGAL-MADE 75MM FIELD ARTILLERY THAT BOTH COUNTRIES WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO, BUT THIS FIELD ARTILLERY WAS COMMON TO THE CHINESE ARMY'S ARTILLERY SHELLS, AND LI GUANG REFUSED TO SELL IT.

The two countries were even more eager for anti-aircraft guns, but not to look at the great gains of the naval anti-Japanese army, after calculating, they found that the anti-aircraft guns were not even enough for their own use, so they also politely rejected the requests of the two countries. However, Li Guang promised that once the production capacity of anti-aircraft artillery was increased, it would be sold to these two countries first.

IN ADDITION TO THE 75MM FIELD GUNS (PREPARED FOR THE DOMESTIC), THE ARTILLERY LEFT FOR THE NAVAL RESISTANCE ARMY FOR ITS OWN USE OR SALE IS SIXTEEN 105MM CANNONS, 32 152MM HOWITZERS AND SIXTEEN 155MM CANNONS.

Li Guang was also quite satisfied with this transaction, the funding gap of 35 million yuan immediately became 20 million through this transaction. But for the moment, all he got was a large number of supplies, and it was still quite difficult to convert them into cash. In other words, Li Guang is still short of money, very short of money.
