The time used at Bentley Island is in the same time zone as the time used at Male, the capital of the Maldives, which is three hours behind Beijing time.

Li Guangyu's special plane took off from Kai Tak Airport at 10 am Hong Kong time and arrived at the Phoenix Island Military Airport at 1:30 pm 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 1,500 members of the Bentley Island Air Force. In addition to the necessary personnel on duty, members of the air force led by Bentley Island Deputy Brigadier Li Weiming and Chief of Staff Qin Weiping have gathered at the airport to await the arrival of Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing and Zhang Ziyu.

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

If you are here in England, Zhang Ziyu has the same position as Patten, they are external governors, representing the British royal family, but in terms of power, Zhang Ziyu has much greater power, and Patten does not have an army in his hands.

Moreover, Zhang Ziyu is a British noble, a hereditary baron, and the lifelong governor of Bentley Island. This is something that cannot be compared with the governors of other countries in the UK, even the governors of countries such as Canada and Australia.

Although Canada and Australia are relatively powerful countries, the governors-general of these two countries are only symbolic and have no real power at all.

Of course, this is just for the outside world. Internally, all parties know that Li Guangyu has the final say on Bentley Island. It is no different from a private place. Zhang Ziyu is just in name, and she will not interfere in the affairs here.

Li Guangyu and others came to the front of the assembly team, greeted the personnel present, and expressed their appreciation and gratitude for their successful completion of this military mission.

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

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

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

This is a reward for them risking their lives to perform the mission, allowing them to live peacefully on Bentley Island.

At the same time, Li Guangyu also gave a one-month salary increase to all members of the Bentley Island Armed Forces 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. At the same time, it was also a way to check for leaks and fill in the gaps in his own army.

Bentley Island's military aspect is still far behind. After passing this time, some equipment still needs to be completed later.

Li Weiming said: "Li Sheng, electronic reconnaissance aircraft and electronic jammers played a huge 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 aircraft.”

Of course, Li Guangyu knew that Bentley Island still lacked a lot of things, but a small Bentley Island could not support too many military forces. Not to mention that it was just a territory now. Even if it became an independent country in the future, it would have to rely on only one big country, Singapore.

This is an example. In order to reduce the threats from its surrounding areas, Singapore can only look for backers.

Now Li Weiming and others are completely different from the general managers of security companies in previous years. 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 has been built on Bentley Island. Although it is small and well-equipped, there are only one class for many majors and dozens of students. However, in order to cultivate subsequent talents and not be controlled by others, Li Weiming still proposed to Li Guangyu

I applied, and this college is built on Phoenix Island.

Li Guangyu also knew that without electronic reconnaissance aircraft, this flight group had no combat effectiveness. Although this was originally intended to show the actual combat effectiveness, it was just to bully a small country with little military power. A slightly larger country could wipe out the military strength of Bentley Island.

Drop it, but you still need to equip it if necessary.

Li Guangyu said aloud: "Communicate with Western Europe to purchase two electronic reconnaissance aircraft and two transport aircraft. In addition, the army will purchase 6 armed helicopters and let them establish an army aviation company."

As for medium- and long-range missiles and strategic weapons, Li Guangyu thought about it and decided to forget it. Too few will be ineffective. A little more will be a big trouble. Not to mention maintenance costs, if there are too many, the outside world will definitely find out. When the time comes, various countries will impose sanctions on the companies under the Li Consortium.

, Li Guangyu’s power will collapse on its own.

It's good to have such a foothold now. Being too ambitious will only bury yourself in the ground.

Moreover, Li Guangyu currently has no intention of letting Bentley Island become independent. Staying in England will make Bentley Island safer, and there is no need to think about paying protection fees. Attacking Bentley Island would be equivalent to going to war with England. Unless the third party

World War I, otherwise the United States would not have dared to touch Bentley Island.

And Li Guangyu himself has been staying in Xiangjiang for a long time, and it is quite safe there. As long as there is no world war, no one will touch Xiangjiang. After all, Xiangjiang has the backing of the mainland, and the probability of war between major powers is very low.

Most of the wars involve strong countries bullying weak countries, and big countries bullying small countries.

Li Weiming and others originally only hoped that Li Guangyu would add an electronic reconnaissance aircraft and a transport aircraft. Unexpectedly, not only did Li Guangyu double the number, he also equipped the Army with 6 additional armed helicopters, which increased the Army's power.

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

Cao Weiqing said aloud 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 scope of a territory. We cannot continue to increase our armed forces. A mixed force of 7,000 people

The size of the brigade has reached its peak, the most important thing for you is to strengthen training, be less but more refined, and 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, one hundred thousand armed forces can be produced. Maybe Li Weiming is planning to suppress the NATO garrison in the southwest on Diego Garcia Island, the capital of the British Indian Ocean Territory.

.

There are only about 3,000 military personnel there, which is not as good as the armed forces of Bentley Island. However, it is mainly a long-range bomber force and a submarine force. In this Gulf War, the American long-range bombers took off from here.

Just because of the development of Bentley Island's armed forces, a new anti-aircraft battalion was deployed there the year before last, mainly targeting Bentley Island. This is why the United States objects to Bentley Island being armed.

It is a pity that Bentley Island has won the support of the British and even many Western European countries, 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 the British.

No one knows whether Bentley Island can take out the US garrison on Diego Garcia. After all, Bentley Island’s fighter planes and various types of missiles are the main battle equipment of Western Europe, and their strength is not much worse than that of the United States. If a sneak attack

If so, there is a real chance.

In the past two years, Gan Qinglin's cooperation with Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain 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. By then, the influence of the European Community or the European Union will continue to increase in the future.

The United States' power and layout in Eastern Europe will no longer be as strong as in its previous life. If the rules did not allow it, Li Guangyu would really be able to prevent Eastern Europe from posing much of a threat to Western Europe.

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