Of the nine executive committee members in Isabella, there are only four people left, one is in the direction of military engineering, one is Shen Bing in civil affairs, one is Li Dan, an agricultural and forestry doctor, and one is Li Xiang, who is engaged in infrastructure construction.

Although the number of people is a little small, the four of them meet every morning to compile the progress of the previous day's work and the recent reports of the expatriate staff in Iquique and Panama.

Fang Wen spoke first: "In the past few days, I have been in charge of the progress of weapons and ordnance industry, dismantled some small equipment on construction machinery, assembled a set of light weapons machines, dozens of machine tools, want to manufacture, the style is suitable for the current era, adapt to this era, under the current situation, the battle rifle design drawing, found the five or six semi-automatic rifle sample gun, ten rounds loaded. The engineering supply ship Guangxue exported weapons to Central American countries for the Ministry of Ordnance Industry, about 8,000 Type 56, 80 rounds of ammunition, 80 56 light machine guns, and 40 individual RPGs with a range of 400 meters, because there is also a batch of 7mm seamless steel pipes, So we are going to use 6.5 bullets, which is the kind of bullets that are 38 bullets, and we have built a prototype gun with an effective range of 250 meters, and there is also a 500-ton press on that engineering ship, so we can make small industrial machine tools, until some processing machines, of course, the forming metal material is not enough, only 3000 tons. ”

Shen Bing: "I found a problem, how to deal with Nikola Tesla, do we want to tell him some of the current technology or those technologies in the future?" Or is it our own current situation, where the origin is clear? ”

Li Dan's view is:

"Take the communication walkie-talkie and power generation equipment (diesel generator) first and let him disassemble it first, you can continue to study the primary manufacturing technology, as for our own situation, we will slowly find an opportunity to talk to him later! Some things are just small things for us, but for this world, for most people in this era, they are big things, as the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you will make a big deal The butterfly effect is sometimes very scary. ”

"I also agree, at present, Isabella is now more than 1,000 kilometers away from the nearest continent, which is relatively isolated, although the natural minerals are not as abundant, but after all, this is our first base, or relatively safe, and putting Tesla here to learn is also the only choice at present."

Li Xiang didn't talk much, but he was very practical.

"Report!" Li Hong, director of the office, entered the conference room.

Liu Yun, the head of the team sent to Panama, sent a telegram saying that they had found a lot of Chinese laborers at the coastal wharf in Panama, some from the United States, some from Mexico, and some from Cuba, with nearly 20,000 people. What should I do? ”

Direction thought for a moment.

"I'd like to hear what the three of you think first."

"Just buy a farm in the local area, and then recruit workers to plant our good seeds, solve the problem of food first, and then set up a few food processing factories, garment processing factories, or building materials factories and so on, and then recruit people in first. Besides, we are short of people here. "Li Dan: Fast people talk fast.

Shen Bing drank some water and added:

"Yes, it is best to manage the farm semi-militarily, organize them to conduct physical and health examinations, help them solve difficulties in work and life, and after more than a month of adaptation, select excellent laborers and send them back to our base."

"An elite escort force or army should be formed on the farm or in the factory, and the 2nd Independent Brigade should be numbered..."

The direction added: "It is better for the farm to have a seaside port or an estuary of a river, a wharf for the river, so that we can trade in the future, process the contract, repair ships, and even set up a secret arsenal." This place connects the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and the geographical location is very important, and there must be strong security guarantees, security to protect our interests, our businesses and our business. Of course, if there is any problem in the local area, such as acquiring land or acquiring farms, you can find a few foreigners to be our agents or assistants. ”

"By the way, Meng Xiaohui and several other children suggested organizing and establishing our radio station to spread Chinese culture, publicize the purpose, ideas and policies of the Han and Tang Associations, and attract the hearts of overseas Chinese. In addition, they recommend that all the information and literature and videos in all mobile phones, tablets, and computers be made paper, or tested on mobile hard drives. It is possible to build a secret base underground to protect the data room. ”

"Okay, these kids are thinking farther than we are, yes, yes, yes!"

Today is July 2, 1876.

Isabella main base, Panamanian business point, Aric guerrilla area, Yin Kik Taiping Army activity area.

In just 15 days, the Han and Tang Dynasty Datong Association has begun to accelerate its sailing, maybe the Chinese should also rise rapidly, right?
