Li Guang did not go to the stone statue island, he is now sitting in Uruguay, directing the process of all parties.

Many of the technicians here in Uruguay are mainly Chinese recruited from the United States, and now Li Guang's recruitment channels in the United States have been basically opened, and patriotic Chinese join every month. Last time Su Zizi went to Stone Statue Island from Panama, she brought more than 100 Chinese youths, most of whom were organized by Lin Lili's family. These people were assigned to battery plants, torpedo factories and submarine docks. But the number is far from enough.

Huang Zhonghua, who returned from Germany, once again helped Li Guangguang. Huang Zhonghua bought the German artillery shell production line, considering the lack of technicians in the Naval Resistance Army, anyway, he stayed in Germany for a long time, Huang Zhonghua was flexible, and even recruited more than 30 Chinese engineers or college students in Germany.

This number is really big enough, in this era, there are not many Chinese studying abroad, and engineers and college students are even less, Huang Zhonghua does not know how to publicize, but he can recruit more than 30, which is really beyond Li Guang's expectations. Li Guang even wanted to separate Huang Zhonghua from the military and specialize in trade and recruitment.

Li Guang has not been able to establish a talent training system in this remote corner of the world in South America. His approach was to place the Chinese in shipyards and battery factories first, and after training, to send high-tech personnel to the torpedo and submarine factories. The biggest problem with this approach is that manpower is always tight.

It is not difficult to set up a food processing plant on the island of Statues. But to build a truly modern heavy industry, the difficulty is not ordinary.

Since Li Guang sold his shares in Guano Commercial Group, his finances have been much more relaxed. However, the shell production line and several industries were put on Shixiang Island, but it once again hollowed out Li Guang's funds.

At least in Uruguay, there is no need to invest in power plants, and only the purchase of a set of twin 10,000 kilowatt generating units will cost Li Guang 200,000 US dollars, plus the infrastructure construction estimates that the power plant will not be able to pay 250,000 US dollars.

At present, the shipyard also has a lot of factories (Li Guang is engaged in image engineering and infrastructure construction for the sake of loans. But now it is necessary to expand the dock and build a submarine manufacturing and repair dock on the island of Stonestatue, and a dock for the maintenance of warships. Li Guang planned to transfer the manufacture of submarines to Shixiang Island after the completion of Pixiu II.

Even if these infrastructures are saved, they will cost half a million dollars under the current base conditions.

Li Guang is really reluctant to make such an investment, first, the stone statue island cannot be said to be Li Guang's territory, and second, isn't it a big industry to turn a beautiful island into a miasma? He wanted to rely on the development of Shixiang Island after the war.

However, Li Guang had no other way now, and the transportation work on Statue Island and Robinson Island occupied Li Guang's only two 10,000-ton ships and one 2,000-ton steamer (the ship transporting guano was already considered to belong to the guano business group), and sometimes the PJP had to make a trip. It is very cost-effective to set up an industry on a desert island, and it takes a 10,000-ton freighter to transport construction materials such as coal and cement around the clock.

After Li Guang's unified planning, under the management of Professor Yuan Ye, the progress of the Stone Statue Island is very good. By June, the airport had been built.

The transport plane purchased by Yuan Ran in the United States also arrived in Uruguay on 1 June. Arriving at random were a dozen Chinese pilots. was able to recruit so many Chinese pilots, but it was all thanks to the help of Ambassador Hu Shih, and the celebrity effect was really powerful. Li Guang expressed his sincere gratitude for this.

One crew of C47 is four people, and Li Guang did not hesitate to equip these people with three more crews. Coupled with the previously captured fighters, the Naval Resistance Army already had four planes at this time.

Li Guang lacks talents, but there is no shortage of people. After a simple test and recruitment, an air force unit of nearly 100 people took shape in less than half a month. Externally, it is called a commercial airline, officially registered in Uruguay.

In Li Guang's plan, there are three transport planes, and there are three main routes to be planned. One flew mainly to the United States, one to Robinson Island, and one to Stone Statue Island from Robinson Island.

The reason for this is also to keep it secret, after all, not all Chinese pilots recruited from the United States are willing to join the army. The airlines in Uruguay have a lot of white employees.

Li Guangjian made a sensation in Uruguay again with this small airline, which was the first Uruguayan intercontinental flight. The establishment of flights has brought Uruguay and the United States closer together.

For Li Guang, the establishment of the airline is not to make money, but to be able to buy suitable parts from the United States in time and to train pilots.

By August, Li Guangxin's air force was now able to fly over the Pacific Ocean, a remarkable improvement.

Flying from Uruguay to Robinson Island, crossing the South American continent can be navigated by terrain, of which there are only 700 kilometers by sea. The difficulty is not very high.

And Robinson Island has 2,300 kilometers of sea route to reach Stone Statue Island. Even with a magnetic compass and a sextant system to navigate the way, it is definitely not impossible to get lost. In this era, flying long distances at sea is a dangerous thing, and no matter which country it is, it belongs to the frontier discipline. What's more, this distance is almost the maximum range of the C47, and there can be no mistakes in the middle.

There are many Chinese who are good at thinking, and this problem was solved by a Chinese pilot Liu Guobang, in fact, among the dozen or so pilots recruited by the United States, only Liu Guobang is a formal professional studying the Air Force in the United States. And Liu Guobang's father is very famous in China, and now he is the leader of the first army, although he is a miscellaneous army, he must not be underestimated.

In the arduous years of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Air Force was by no means a safe branch of the armed forces, and the casualty rate was the highest among all branches of the Chinese Army. Commander Liu sent his son to the United States to study the Air Force, indeed with the intention of killing the enemy and serving the country.

Liu Guobang suggested setting up a directed, high-power radio station on the top of the highest volcano on Stone Statue Island, and that only one radio with an external antenna on the plane would solve the problem. This is a phenomenon that Liu Guobang discovered by accident when he was learning to fly in the United States.

As we all know, the antenna of the radio has a directional surname, and the right direction can listen to a certain station. In fact, it has a similar principle to radar. This method, of course, is not very precise, but it gives a general direction to the transport aircraft. The magnetic compass on the plane, coupled with the lighthouse built on top of the volcano by the stone statue, basically solved the navigation problem. These three methods are mixed together, and the effect is good.

According to Ambassador Hu Shih's reply, it is estimated that the 12 fighter planes will be delivered by the end of the year, which is the result of Ambassador Hu's many efforts. You must know that the 200 P40 fighters ordered by France will also be delivered in April next year. Now that the full amount has been paid, what Li Guang needs to do is to prepare the pilot for the fighter in advance.
