  Kuo Yu purchased some special forces equipment, which was a bit disorganized and took the other party some time to gather everything. Kuo Yu also separately ordered 10,000 AK-47s and a large quantity of bullets for future use in building an army. He bought 50 sniper rifles, which were not cheap either. Additionally, he purchased five all-terrain armored command vehicles for on-site command. After agreeing that all the goods would be delivered upon completion, Kuo Yu returned to Hong Kong. Not having seen Huang Wenjing for several days, he missed her and called to invite her out, and they had a romantic dinner together.

  After a few days of leisurely life, the Russian arms dealer called to inform him that all the goods had been stored in the warehouse and Guo Yu could pick them up at any time.

  Alone, he arrived at the port warehouse in Monrovia, Liberia, Africa. Guo Yu opened the warehouse and found the wooden crates neatly arranged inside, just like last time. The surroundings were quiet and still. Guo Yu took the weapons directly and transported them to his own room in Monrovia, where he was sent back to 1915.

  He first found Erzhu and asked about the organization personnel. Erzhu reported that 1,000 people had been selected, and according to Guo Yu's instructions, they were formed into a large team, divided into ten medium teams, with 100 people in each medium team, and each medium team was further divided into ten small teams, with 10 people in each small team.

  On the training ground, a thousand robust young men stood upright, each full of energy and ambition. It seemed that they could be selected as the first guard team for the conference, which made everyone very excited. They also heard that it was now called some special forces or something, no matter what it was called, being able to serve as a bodyguard for the conference head was an honor in itself.

  Guo Yu stood on the high platform, looking at the team standing upright, and said loudly: "Today, here, we are going to establish a special forces unit of our Huafu Association. You must remember that you will be the sharpest sword in my hand, Guo Yu. You will receive the most rigorous training, use the most advanced weapons, and accept the most advanced combat concepts. And what you need to protect is your beloved home, Huafu Association. Young men, work hard!"

  "Training is definitely the toughest and those who are unqualified will be eliminated. I want you to bring out your full abilities to complete these courses."

  "Specific training will be handled by Erzhu, from now on you will be a single entity, remember your mission is to protect the Huafu Association. Erzhu, you're in charge of distributing the equipment." Gu Yu said as he stepped down from the high platform, and released all the special forces' individual equipment into the space. Erzhu organized people to receive the equipment, it didn't take long before everyone had changed into new-style weapons and equipment. Gu Yu looked at their appearance, feeling that they indeed had a bit of the look of special forces, but he knew this was just superficial, they still lacked far too much, without prolonged training, they couldn't reach the level of special forces.

  Hand over all special forces teaching materials and video data to Erzhu, and gave him a communication command vehicle and a sniper rifle. Let him lead the thousand people to find their own base outside, conduct wilderness survival training, and also sent Wu Qilang to them, let Wu Qilang teach them how to survive in tropical rainforest.

  Back at Du Li's place, Da Zhu was called over. Guo Yu felt that the construction of their current base would take a long time and wouldn't show any results in less than half a year. They should start doing some things simultaneously.

  Dazhu and Guo Yu were eating and chatting at the dinner table, while Hu Yunyuan and Xiaoni did not join them. After drinking a few cups of wine, Guo Yu said: "Dazhu, the construction of the base only needs to be carried out in an orderly manner, we can't stop now, many things can be carried out simultaneously."

  "Whatever you want me to do, I'll go and arrange it." Da Zhu put down his wine cup and replied.

  "First, the construction of our base requires a large amount of building materials. The sand and gravel have been solved for now, but more steel and cement will be needed later on. What we have now can only last for a while, and it will take some time before our own factories can be built, so we must purchase from America."

  "Secondly, our supplies and food, there are over 3 million tons of grain on the ship now, enough for a million people to use for a year. I think we can't use that much here, so I plan to let Gao Qing take the fleet and send the grain to Chen Yougong's place to alleviate the domestic grain shortage. After our fleet finishes sending the grain, it will open up the navigation route from America to our country, and get the shipping company really running. And the steel bars and cement we need can be transported together from America."

  "Third is to continue to open Huafu Hall in other places in Nanyang, we already have a relatively mature approach, just follow the previous model to operate, first start the work and take it step by step."

  "Fourthly, I want to engage in trade business, selling a large number of industrial products to Europe, America and domestically, so that we will have a lot of income, and with money, it's convenient to do whatever we want."

  "We also need to establish our own army and set up a military department, so that if something happens in the future, we can handle it properly."

  What Guo Yu said was all big things, but when he finally mentioned the establishment of an army, Wu Dazhu became somewhat agitated. Having followed Guo Yu for over a year, he had long known that Guo Yu had great ambitions, and today he finally saw the old master reveal his true nature, how could he not be excited?

  "Master, there are still too few Chinese on the island. Using outsiders is also not reassuring. What do you think we should do?" Wu Dazhu felt that other things could be done step by step, but without people, many things were difficult to accomplish.

  "I've thought of this too, I'll prepare for a while and when things settle down here, I'll take a trip back to the mainland to check on Chen Yougong's progress. We can also bring some people from Huafu Hall in the mainland over here. And see if there's any way to get more Chinese people to come to the island. The population is large in the mainland, and if all else fails, we can use recruitment as an excuse to bring people over. After all, both factories and farms need a lot of personnel." Gu Yu was also worried about the population problem, he had been thinking about this issue since arriving here.

  Originally, the Chinese in Kalimantan were mostly from the Lanfang Republic. After thirty years of turmoil, they have dispersed and most have fled. However, on the eastern part of the island, there are a large number of Chinese laborers, with a population of around 800,000 people. They were all recruited by the Dutch, and it would be troublesome to find them on their own. For now, Guo Yu does not want to quarrel with the Dutch, at least for the time being.

  After nearly a month of intense construction, the residence and warehouse area two kilometers away from Makassar Port was finally completed. Guo Yu and other Hua Fu members set off firecrackers, beat gongs and drums, and made quite a stir to celebrate their first step in realizing their goal on Kalimantan Island.

  Ten thousand people moved into the temporary residence at the same time. Guo Yu's room was in the innermost part, a separate two-story small building with solid concrete walls and simple decorations, looking like a fortress. However, due to current limitations, he could only make do for now, and after his own true residence was built later on, Guo Yu would establish a real estate that truly belonged to him.

  It has now been initially stabilized and can proceed with the next step of work. Guo Yu is preparing to make a multi-faceted attack and speed up construction.

  Summon all high-level personnel of Huafu Association, today Guo Yu is going to assign tasks to everyone. Looking at the crowd of Huafu members standing solemnly below the stage, Guo Yu can feel from their expressions that their reverence for him is growing day by day.
