The Baishan Island gold mine is very large, covering an area of ​​thousands of acres.

Zhao Yong pointed to the tens of thousands of acres of rice fields over there and said, "The rice fields over there are all rice fields transformed from sandy soil that has been mined for gold. This gold mine has been mined for more than ten years, and there are still several thousand acres that have not been mined. The workers are all Chinese and locals from nearby islands. We will recruit people to mine after the construction is completed. The gold content is very high, and occasionally you can get kilograms of nugget gold."

"The conditions are really good. The rice fields and rubber forests are both sustainable. When the gold mines are mined, we can develop tourism. The scenery is picturesque and very good."

Li Dabiao came over and said, "Boss, a guard said he wanted to mine. He wants to be a guard and mine at the same time."

"What do you mean? I don't understand."

"There is a guard from Shandong. His family is from the mountains and he has endless energy. The guards don't work eight hours a day. After get off work, they want to dig four small mines and earn some money from mining."

The guards were provided with food and lodging, clothes and shoes, and a small amount of alcohol and cigarettes. Eight hundred yuan a month was supposed to be enough. But these people were too hardworking and could not sit still.

"How did you discuss it?"

"Old Chen said that as long as it doesn't interfere with training and duty, then let them do it, so they don't have to mess around after get off work. The gun rack is right next to them when they're working, so they can gather quickly in case of an emergency. One dollar an hour, a maximum of four hours a day, and the money is settled monthly."

"Well, let them do it, and make sure they are clear. The main business must not be neglected. If the main business is abandoned, they can just become miners."

Although Liu Xia Lian is not short of money, she knows the suffering of people without money. In the countryside, there are many people who work for only one dollar per day, let alone one dollar per hour. Money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat.

With three warships, the guards were also divided into 300 naval forces and 700 infantry. They performed their duties in daily training, and occasionally conducted coordinated training. However, the three warships were converted from small cargo ships of 50 to 60 meters, with no artillery but only six heavy machine guns.

"Li Dabiao, ask if there is anyone in the team who can fly a plane?" Liu Xia Lian said suddenly.

Li Dabiao touched his crew cut and said, "Even if someone knows how to fly, we don't have a plane."

"It's none of your business. Go ask. We don't need any professional pilots. This is an old plane from World War II."

Chen Ziguang came over and said with a smile: "Not only can I fly, I can also repair it. I worked in an aircraft manufacturing factory when I was an intern. I fly old aircraft."

The next morning, just after daybreak, Liu Xia Lian got up early and took Daya for a five-kilometer morning run along the island. When they came back, Li Dabiao was leading the team in training.

Chen Ziguang was shocked when he saw dozens of people standing in a daze at the port.

There are eight old-fashioned planes in front of me. Judging from the paint scheme, they are still from the early days. They need to be changed. It looks ugly.

Eight old tanks, but this one is not too old, it looks very heavy, at least 30 to 40 tons, 80 caliber tank guns, heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns.

Chen Ziguang's throat moved: "The boss is really an expert, where did he get these things from?"

"Plane is for the old days, tank is for the pirates. We need to repair and maintain it when necessary. This is definitely not a comfortable place, brutal battles may happen at any time. In three months, the navy, army and air force will all be able to form combat capabilities. Do you have confidence?"

"I have confidence and I will complete the task." Chen Ziguang responded.

"You don't have to be too nervous. I arranged for Xu Xiong to set up an electronics factory that specializes in producing remote-controlled toy airplanes. They are currently undergoing intensive research and development. Once the research and development is successful, you will have another new weapon."

"What remote-controlled toy plane? As a weapon?"

"Yes, you heard it right. Have you seen goshawks and gyrfalcons dropping bombs? Was it impressive?"

"Awesome, that's awesome."

"That's it. If we build a group of remote-controlled airplanes and drop shells on the enemy from above, the enemy's morale will collapse instantly. Moreover, the cost of a remote-controlled airplane is only a few dozen yuan, at most a few hundred yuan. It is much easier to train than an eagle. If remote-controlled airplanes are deployed on a large scale, their combat effectiveness will be very strong."

Chen Ziguang was completely confused after hearing this. After all, in his eyes, remote-controlled airplanes were just toys for kids at the Children's Palace.

Not to mention Li Dabiao, he is a rough man. He has no problem fighting tough battles, but he is lacking when it comes to R&D and innovation.

After a day of training, I was still very tired. Those dozen guards from my hometown actually had to go to the gold mine to work, earning one dollar an hour.

Liu Xia Lian took care of the kitchen and asked them to ensure the food standards were high and not to mistreat the brothers.

In the evening, everyone held a meeting in the basement, which used to be a pirate's lair. Six meters underground, safety was guaranteed.

Liu Xia Lian is the boss behind the scenes, Zhao Yong is the remote manager, Chen Ziguang is the mine manager and military advisor, and Li Dabiao is the security captain, but his position as captain is a bit too high, as he is in charge of the infantry, air force, and navy.

Chen Ziguang took the notebook and asked Zhao Yong for something. This was the result of his discussion with Li Dabiao.

"First, we need pigs and vegetable seeds. Local pork is not tasty, so we need domestic black pigs. We also need more varieties of vegetable seeds. We can't have no vegetable fields to feed so many people. We can't buy them. It's too expensive."

Zhao Yong nodded: "No problem, the next time the ship comes, it will definitely be delivered to you from Pengcheng."

"Second, get some machine tools and equipment to repair guns. They wear out quite a bit, and there are capable people among the guards. Try to repair them yourself if you can."

"Third, we need fifty professional sniper rifles. If you don't have any, buy a seven-fold scope. We install it on the 98k rifle."

Zhao Yong pondered for a while and said, "Forget about the sniper rifle. It's not something you can buy easily. Just buy a 7x scope. Besides, you have mountain cannons and mortars now, so the application range of sniper rifles is not that wide."

"Fourth, we also need to purchase tools for repairing and maintaining aircraft, artillery, and tanks. They are all antiques, and they will be useless if they are not well maintained. I plan to move the mountain artillery to the warship, so that it will have preliminary combat effectiveness. These are the four items for now, and I will come up with more later if I think of them."

Zhao Yong took the list and looked at it: "Go back and arrange the purchase. Machine tools and maintenance tools are easy to buy and will be returned to you in no time. But do you know how to use them?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. We will definitely use them. Pirates are not the main threat. The main threat is the Gan family's enemy, Aquinas of Sishui Island. They have at least 500,000 soldiers. In more than ten years, they have almost completely defeated the Hakka people in Southeast Asia. Once Aquinas attacks, how will we fight this war?"

Liu Xialian pondered for a moment, thought about it, and said to Zhao Yong: "Arrange the purchasing department to purchase gas cylinders, steel pipes, and fertilizers from Shandong. Remember to purchase them in batches."
