Chapter 1334 Changes in Bentley Island
After Li Songyang's wedding, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing went to Bentley Island together to learn about the development of Bentley Island while on vacation.

It has been more than 1987 years since Bentley Island was in the hands of the Lee Consortium in 13. The Lee Consortium has invested huge sums of money, and now it has finally achieved some results.

Originally planned to complete the land reclamation project of 2003 square kilometers in 50, it has now been completed ahead of schedule. This time Li Guangyu came to participate in the completion ceremony of the project and the celebration ceremony of connecting Bentley Island and Suzaku Island on land.

When it was taken over, Bentley Island was only 13 square kilometers, and Suzaku Island was only two square kilometers. It cost more than 500 billion US dollars to carry out this large-scale land reclamation project. Now the two islands are connected, and the entire area has reached about 65 square kilometers, enough to meet the needs of Bentley Island. development in the coming decades.

You must know that the area of ​​Lisboa is only about 32 square kilometers. The territory of Bentley Island is now Bentley Island + Suzaku Island and the area of ​​the reclamation area is twice the area of ​​Lisboa.

After more than ten years of development, the registered population of Bentley Island has exceeded 130 million, and the resident population has also exceeded 40.

Moreover, the household registration population is still increasing rapidly every year, but the resident population is growing relatively slowly.

At present, the territory of Bentley Island is already a tourist attraction in the Indian Ocean. Last year, the tourism income of the territory of Bentley Island exceeded 5 million U.S. dollars. This is a very gratifying achievement for Bentley Island.

Especially in Phoenix Island (formerly Tianyu Island, the former Phoenix Island was renamed Tianyu Island), it has now become a honeymoon holy place for couples. Territory brings very considerable income.

This is only a few years after the development of Phoenix Island. With the growing reputation, Li Guangyu believes that the tourism income here will be even higher in the future.

At the same time, the exchange on Bentley Island was also established last year. Due to its distance from the land, the exchange on Bentley Island mainly trades online. For the development of the exchange on Bentley Island, Phoenix Group, Suzaku Group, Oriental Semiconductor Group, Fengming The group, the Zhuhe Group and other elites have specially developed a system for online transactions, and at the same time, the security protection has also been strengthened.

The Lee Consortium has one of the world's top hacker teams and one of the most secure firewall software in the world. Even if some countries want to attack the companies under the Li Consortium, they can only fail.

After more than a year of operation, there are currently more than 30 listed companies on Bentley Island, most of which are mainland companies. Of course, most of these companies are registered in Bentley Island.

For example, Xinyang Group, which is registered in Bentley Island, headquartered in Xiangjiang, develops in the Mainland, and focuses on Guangdong Province, Sichuan Province and Shuangqing City.

Bentley Island Territory officially launched its own currency in 1997, with Tianyu Bank as the hair bank. One Bentley coin is equivalent to one US dollar. At present, Bentley Island has three common currencies, US dollar, Hong Kong dollar, and Bentley coin. These three can be used in Bentley The island territory is used directly, and other currencies need to be converted into Bentley coins before they can be used.

The current military aspect of Bentley Island is also very good. Now it has become the Bentley Island Defense Force. The Air Force already has two flying regiments with a total of 5250 people.

有着48架战机，其中幻影2000c24架，幻影2000－5战机24架。

In addition, there are four electronic reconnaissance and patrol aircraft, two large transport aircraft, and two aerial refueling aircraft.

In the army, a brigade has 8 battalions, three mechanized battalions, one tank battalion, one artillery battalion, one army aviation battalion, one engineer battalion, and one logistics battalion.

In terms of the navy, Bentley Island has 8 British 23 frigates, 4 conventional submarines, and a medical rescue ship.

One of the electronic reconnaissance aircraft and 12 Mirage 2000c are stationed at the British military base in Wajir, Kenya.

An electronic reconnaissance plane, 12 Mirage 2000-5 and a mechanized battalion are stationed in the outskirts of Kismayo in southwestern Somalia to maintain peace and stability in Somalia.

At the same time, it includes an electronic reconnaissance patrol aircraft, 12 Mirage 2000c, a mechanized battalion, an army aviation company with 12 armed helicopters, a tank company with 12 tanks, and an artillery company, a logistics company, and an engineering company stationed in central Mozambique. In Maringue City, while protecting the security of Mozambique, it also safeguards the interests of the Lee Consortium in Mozambique.

At present, East Africa is the largest source of minerals produced by Li's consortium, especially non-ferrous metal mines and coal mining industries. Therefore, Li's consortium has invested heavily here, not only in mining, but also in basic investment. Many industries are here. Establish some production bases and develop together with East Africa.

The situation in East Africa forced the Lee Consortium to strengthen its presence there to ensure that its own interests were not violated, and the garrison on Bentley Island was the most beneficial deterrent.

Another wish is that compared to Eastern Europe, Bentley Island is more willing to station troops in East Africa. Eastern Europe is still left to the EU and NATO to figure out, after all, it is not easy to mess with.

After years of investment in East Africa by the Lee Group (including the Hong Kong Bank Group and the Hsinchu Bank Group) and the Commonwealth’s internal capital, the economies of Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Somalia, and Mozambique have developed quite well. It is still relatively poor, but the people of all countries have hope in their hearts.

At least in the past ten years, there has been no turmoil in several countries, and they have a good foundation for development. In addition, a lot of capital has come to invest, bringing capital, technology and jobs, allowing them to have good returns.

Even the relatively chaotic Somalia, because of Li Guangyu's alliance with many countries in Western Europe, this country has moved towards peace again, and it is also developing rapidly.

Many countries in East Africa are quite rich in resources, but unfortunately, the stability of the country and surrounding areas, coupled with the backwardness of technology, makes it very difficult for them to even have enough food and clothing.

The entry of Li's consortium and Commonwealth capital has put them on the road of rapid development, and over the years, the East African students who have studied in Xiangjiang Nine Schools, Bentley University, and Hsinchu University have not been fooling around. The elites who are willing to come back and lead the development of the folks have injected new vitality into East Africa.

With the economic development of these years, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Mozambique are discussing the economic integration of East Africa. If there is no accident, it is expected to be reached by the end of this year.

In the past ten years, the development of Africa, West Africa and East Africa has been very dazzling. The countries in these two regions have welcomed a large amount of capital and technology, and at the same time brought a large number of jobs, and the domestic politics are also quite stable, and the surrounding environment is also quite Yes, it allows them to devote themselves to nation-building.

Although the speed of economic development in recent years cannot be compared with that of some Asian countries, it is a relatively dazzling existence in the world.

The Lee Consortium is spending money to build railways connecting the main countries in East Africa. Japanese and Korean capital are also spending money building railways connecting West African countries within their sphere of influence. While helping the development of West African countries, they also allow themselves to gain more Interests.

Don’t look at the large investment in investing in railways, the rate of return is quite slow, but compared with their other income in their territory, this investment is nothing. The Li’s consortium, Japan, South Korea and other consortia are all profit-seeking. If there is no high return, They will not build any railways stupidly.
