Through the wealth life

Chapter 1313 Repurchasing Equipment
The time used by Bentley Island and the time used by Malé, the capital of the Maldives, are in the same time zone, which is three hours behind BJ time.

Li Guangyu's special plane took off from Kai Tak Airport at 01:30 a.m. Xiangjiang time, and arrived at Phoenix Island Military Airport at [-]:[-] p.m. Bentley Island time, which took more than six hours.

At this time, all 24 fighter planes were parked at the airport. Li Guangyu was quite happy watching this scene at the airport.

There are 1500 people in the Bentley Island Air Force Regiment. In addition to the necessary personnel on duty, Li Weiming, the deputy brigade commander of Bentley Island, and Qin Weiping, the chief of staff, have gathered at the airport to wait for the arrival of Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing, and Zhang Ziyu.

Zhang Ziyu is the governor of Bentley Island and the commander of the mixed brigade. Although Zhang Ziyu has been indifferent, Zhang Ziyu is their immediate boss in name.

If you were present in England, Zhang Ziyu and Patten had the same position as the governor of the outside world, representing the British royal family. But in terms of power, Zhang Ziyu's side is much bigger, and Patten does not have an army in his hands.

Moreover, Zhang Ziyu is a British aristocrat, a hereditary baron, and the lifelong governor of Bentley Island. This is something that cannot be compared with the governors of all parts of England, even the governors of Canada, Australia and other countries.

Although Canada and Australia have relatively strong national strengths, the governors of these two countries are only symbolic and have no real power at all.

Of course, this is just an external statement. Internally, everyone knows that Li Guangyu has the final say on Bentley Island, and it is no different from a private one. Zhang Ziyu just puts her name at ease, and she will not interfere in the affairs here.

Several people from Li Guangyu came to the front of the assembled team, greeted the personnel present, and expressed their appreciation and thanks for successfully completing the military mission.

Especially for the pilots of this expedition, Li Guangyu specially prepared gifts for them, a real estate certificate and a car key.

Each person has a 120-square-meter house on Bentley Island, which has no shared area, four bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom.

At the same time, there is a Land Rover provided by the Bentley Group. This car is positioned at the same level as the president of Maserati. It is a sedan, and Bentley Island does not need an off-road sedan.

This is a reward for risking their lives to carry out the mission, so that they can live in peace at Bentley Island.

At the same time, Li Guangyu also gave a one-month salary increase to the personnel of the armed forces including the entire Bentley Island to celebrate the victory of this military operation.

After the personnel were disbanded, Li Guangyu chatted with Li Weiming, Qin Weiping, and several senior officials of the Air Force Corps about the Gulf War.

The military aspect of Bentley Island is still far behind. After passing this time, some equipment needs to be supplemented later.

Li Weiming said: "Li Sheng, the electronic reconnaissance aircraft and electronic jamming aircraft played a very important role in this war. At present, we only have 24 Mirage 2000c here, and we still lack an advanced electronic reconnaissance aircraft. In addition, I hope to buy another one." transport plane."

Of course, Li Guangyu knows that Bentley Island still lacks a lot of things, but a small Bentley Island can't support too many military forces, not to mention that it is only a territory now, even if it becomes an independent country in the future, it will only be attached to one big country, Singapore. Just one example, in order to reduce the threat from the surrounding area, Singapore can only look for backers.

Now Li Weiming and others are completely different from the general manager of the security company a few years ago. Now that they have such a platform, they naturally hope that the strength in their hands will be as strong as possible. As for the economic aspect, this is not within the scope of their thinking.

Moreover, a mixed military academy on Bentley Island has started construction. Although the sparrow is small and complete, there are only one class for many majors, and there are dozens of students. I applied, and this college was established on Phoenix Island.

Li Guangyu also knows that there is no electronic reconnaissance plane, and this flying regiment has no combat power. Although the actual combat power is just to be seen, it can bully a small country with little military power. A slightly larger country can wipe out the military strength of Bentley Island. Dropped, but it is still necessary to equip it.

Li Guangyu said aloud: "You communicate with Western Europe and buy two electronic reconnaissance planes and two transport planes. In addition, the army side buys six armed helicopters and asks them to establish an army aviation company."

As for medium and long-range missiles and strategic weapons, Li Guangyu thinks about it or forget it. Too little is useless, and a little more will cause more trouble. Not to mention maintenance costs, the outside world will definitely find out that when the time comes, countries will sanction the companies under the Li consortium. , Li Guangyu's power is about to collapse.

It is not bad to have such a foothold now, too much ambition will only bury yourself in the soil.

Moreover, currently Li Guangyu has no intention of letting Bentley Island go independently. It would be safer for Bentley Island to stay in England, and there is no need to think about paying protection fees. Taking action against Bentley Island would be tantamount to going to war with England, unless the third World War I, otherwise the United States would not dare to touch Bentley Island.

And Li Guangyu himself has been waiting in Xiangjiang for a long time, and it is quite safe there. As long as there is no world war, no one will disturb Xiangjiang. After all, Xiangjiang has the backing of the mainland, and the probability of war between major powers is quite low. In most wars, strong countries bully weak countries, and big countries bully small countries.

Li Weiming and the others originally only hoped that Li Guangyu would add an electronic reconnaissance plane and a transport plane. Unexpectedly, not only did they double, but Li Guangyu also equipped the army with 6 additional armed helicopters, so that the army's power would rise again.

"Li Sheng, I will communicate with some arms companies in Western Europe in the next few days. I must control the purchase cost and buy high-quality equipment for us." Li Weiming said happily.

Cao Weiqing said from the side: "You also need to know the positioning of Bentley Island. We are not a country. The current scale has far exceeded the range that a territory should have. It is impossible for us to continue to increase our armed forces. A mixed force of 7000 people The size of the brigade has reached its peak, the most important thing for you is to strengthen training, be less but better, don't just try to expand the size."

Cao Weiqing is very clear about the thoughts of Li Weiming and others. If there are no restrictions, [-] armed forces can be produced. Maybe now Li Weiming is planning whether he can suppress the NATO garrison on Diego Garcia Island, the capital of the British Indian Ocean Territory in the southwest. .

There are only about 3000 military personnel there, which is not as good as the armed forces on Bentley Island, but there are mainly long-range bombers and submarines over there. This is where the US long-range bombers took off during the Gulf War.

It was only because of the development of armed forces on Bentley Island that a new air defense battalion was deployed the year before last, mainly targeting Bentley Island. This is why the United States opposed the armed forces on Bentley Island.

It's a pity that Bentley Island has won the support of England and many countries in Western Europe, and the opposition of the United States has little effect. After all, Bentley Island is a British territory, and the United States still leases Diego Garcia to England.

As for whether Bentley Island can kill the American garrison on Diego Garcia Island, no one knows now. After all, the fighter planes and various types of missiles on Bentley Island are the main combat equipment in Western Europe, and their strength is not much worse than that of the United States. If so, there is a chance.

In the past two years, Gan Qinglin's cooperation with Britain, France, Germany, Italy and the West has been very smooth. Currently, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Romania are clearly on the side of Western Europe and Li Guangyu.

As long as the Soviet Union collapses, these countries will definitely give priority to purchasing military equipment from Western Europe in the future. At that time, the influence of the European Community or the European Union will continue to increase in the future.

And the power and layout of the United States in Eastern Europe will no longer be as strong as in the previous life. If the rules did not allow it, Li Guangyu could really make Eastern Europe less of a threat to Western Europe.

If that is the case, the United States will not be able to rely on Eastern Europe to check and balance Western Europe, and the relationship between the two sides will develop into full-scale competition. It is a pity that Li Guangyu just thought about it, after all, he still hopes that he can live longer.
