"Build a mining farm first! Once you have a mining farm, you will have a stable income, and you don't have to think of ways to raise money!" Li Weidong felt that he still had to focus on building the base as his main task, and there was not much time left for him.
The Japanese have been eyeing China since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898. The Manchukuo State they established was just selling sheep's heads as dog meat. The real purpose was to completely annex China.
Moreover, the Japanese army's war of aggression against China has also begun. Although it was only initially used to stir up trouble and create an excuse for war, Japan has definitely carried out war mobilization and is ready to launch a large-scale invasion of China at any time!
Japan's main energy is now invested in fighting against China and the Americans. Especially the U.S. Pacific Fleet, which poses a great threat to Japan's homeland. The main tasks of the Japanese Navy are still focused on escorting troop transports and monitoring the U.S. fleet.
Although Hainan Island has an advantageous geographical location, there are no strong local forces around it, and it does not account for much in the Japanese military's military plan.
Therefore, for Li Weidong, time is running out now. He must develop before the Japanese turn their attention here and be able to withstand the Japanese attack.
"The power plant has been established!" A familiar and cold mechanical voice sounded.
"Has it been built? Build a fine stone mining field and start manufacturing genetic soldiers at the same time!" Li Weidong commanded the base engineering vehicle to build the mining field. Now that he has money, he can squander it as he pleases.
The unit price for manufacturing soldiers is 50 energy coins, which is quite expensive compared to base buildings. For example, a power plant that can provide a small county can use energy coins to create a squad of soldiers. However, in Li Weidong's opinion, it is still relatively expensive.
Good value for money.
Loyal and systematically trained soldiers with perfect combat skills. Perhaps junior soldiers cannot compete with elite soldiers from various countries due to their rigid tactics. However, as long as they can reach the three-star level after fighting, they can torture these little Japanese emperors.
The army is gone.
"General! Xu Li and the others are back, saying they have something important to tell you!" I saw the guards running over to report to Li Weidong.
"Oh, he's back. Then bring him to see me!" Before, Li Weidong had ordered Xu Li to monitor the Japanese. It seems that he should have discovered some!
"General! He was discovered while following the Japanese and received a severe beating. He was just carried back and is receiving treatment." The soldier was only a junior genetic soldier, so his behavior seemed a bit dull. If Li Weidong hadn't asked, maybe he wouldn't have
I won’t say that Xu Li was injured.
"Injured?! Take me there quickly!" Li Weidong said in surprise. In his mind, Xu Li was a timid person. He was asked to inquire about the information in the first place just because there was no one available. He didn't expect that he would do it for the task.
Injuried.
On the way, Li Weidong learned that Xu Li had been monitoring the group of Japanese very carefully these days. However, the Japanese were also very cautious, and he was discovered accidentally. When questioned, fortunately he had an idea and admitted
I am a thief and I want to steal some money to spend without being discovered! However, I can’t escape a severe beating!
When he came to the infirmary, Li Weidong saw Xu Li with gauze wrapped around his head and his left arm still wrapped around his neck with gauze. It looked like it might be broken!
"How do you feel? Is the injury serious?" Li Weidong really didn't expect that the Japanese would deal such a heavy blow and beat people like this.
"Sir, I have rough skin and thick flesh. I will be fine in just two days!" Xu Li was very touched by Li Weidong's concern and felt warm in his heart. He had always felt that Li Weidong didn't like him and didn't trust him very much!
"That's right! I recently discovered that these Japanese devils are always hanging around the city defense camp, and from time to time they even get close to the officers of the city defense camp!" Xu Li reported his findings of tracking the Japanese.
Do they want to take action against Hainan? These Japanese are probably spies. It seems that the base camp in Tokyo has begun to order them to collect intelligence for the march into South Asia.
"I understand! You stay at the base to recuperate these days! Only in good health can you work better for me!" Li Weidong patted Xu Li on the shoulder and encouraged him.
Instructing the medical soldiers to take care of Xu Li, Li Weidong came to the command hall and looked at the construction menu. Li Weidong suddenly stopped. In front of him was a construction unit [Equipment Factory]. Li Weidong stopped curiously. He remembered that in the Republic There is no such building in the version! So I am curious to check the function introduction of this building.
Equipment factory. As the name suggests, it specializes in manufacturing weapons and equipment used by soldiers. In the real world, it is impossible for arms to have unlimited ammunition like in the game. Moreover, as long as they are not dead, they still have combat effectiveness. Genetic soldiers will also be seriously injured and lose combat effectiveness, and Medical treatment is required. The consumption of bullets and the wear and tear of guns require new ones. Not to mention the uniforms, tents, etc.
Seeing the role of the equipment factory, Li Weidong believed that the construction of this building was very necessary. In fact, the competition in modern warfare is the industrial capabilities of both sides. Various types of light and heavy machine guns are big swallowers of bullets. In a battle, The bullet consumption is an astronomical figure.
There are more than 9,000 energy coins left in the base. It cost 1,000 to build a barracks, and 600 and 00 to build a power plant and a fine stone mining site. The energy coins that come with the base have long been used up. Fortunately, Li Weidong went to the Zhang family to exchange for penicillin. He paid 100,000 silver dollars, otherwise he would have been in financial crisis long ago.
Spend another 1,500 to build an equipment factory. Li Weidong sighed, and he would keep spending the money in his hand before it was warm enough.

"Lord Governor, the batch of medicines you want has been purchased by someone!" In the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Qihong came to visit Commander Liu.
Commander Liu's full name is Liu Yongqi. Because he has a big bald head, he is nicknamed Liu Big Head! He should be fifty-three years old this year. He participated in the Revolution of 1911 when he was young. He has soldiers and food, but he is politically weak. He is subservient to the central government, and everyone in the government is vying for power. Moreover, the mountains are high here and the emperor is far away, so the government acquiesces to his dominance in Hainan. Here he has probably been the "Tu Emperor" for almost ten years.
What he is most famous for is not his ability in commanding and fighting, but his marriage to the wife of his thirteenth wife, who is famously lecherous in Hainan. Zhang Qihong actually doesn't like Liu Yongqi, as he has studied in the West and doesn't like him at all. A warlord like a nouveau riche. However, in Hainan, the Zhang family must rely on this nouveau riche. Otherwise, not only will their business not be able to do business, but their personal safety may not be guaranteed!
