For the three South American countries, this war has entered the most critical moment. Although Peru and Bolivia join forces to fight against Chile, because Chile's previous strategic response was very clever, the current situation is on Chile's side.

First of all, the Chilean president had a very close relationship with the United Kingdom, thus obtaining indirect support from Britain. Although the United Kingdom did not pay a penny for a soldier, they successfully kept other European countries neutral through various diplomatic pressures.

Needless to say, at least the arms trade in these three countries was monopolized by British merchants, and Henry was the leader of these arms traders and the general manager.

Due to British intervention, Henry and his arms trade were a bit too far, and the weapons given to Chile were higher than those of Peru and Bolivia in terms of price and performance.

Although the money given to Chile has been huge profits, it is at least much preferential than those two countries.

Immediately afterwards, the UK also provided some intelligence support, and Chile could always get the latest information from the other two countries, just like a tiger adding two wings.

Not only that, the brutal rule of Chinese workers by Peru's mines finally forced Chile to create a new force. This fearless heavenly army is simply a gift package given to Chile by God. Silapizzo has now used the Brown Clothing Army as an elite force and has always been very generous in material supply.

It is precisely because the grand strategy has not made any mistakes that Chile still has no disadvantage in the fight against two. At present, the main striker has approached the Moguaque area and aimed at the port of Iquique.

As long as Iquik is captured, the materials from Chile's rear can unimpeded northward to support the main force, and the Iquik's garrison can threaten the Takna and Arica areas at any time. If these two deserts are taken down, then 80% of the saltpeter and struvite production in the entire Atacama Desert will be in the hands of Chile.

This upcoming battle is very important. For Chile, every reinforcement is a treasure. The newly arrived 10,000 Taiping troops are simply a long drought and rain for them.

"How is the quality of the soldier? Compared with Mr. Weng and Mr. Chen's soldiers, how is the combat effectiveness of these 10,000 people?" Silapizo asked nervously.

Weng Derong smiled and said, "What are we? The iron general in front of you has a rank far higher than us in the Taiping Army, and he has been in the army for a longer time than us. In front of them, I dare not call myself a veteran!"

This is not his modestness, but the fact is that it is true. Weng Derong, Chen Yonglu and others are subordinates of the King of Attendant Li Shixian, and Attendant Li Shixian is Li Xiucheng's brother. Both Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian are generals who emerged in the late stage of the Heavenly Kingdom. They are incomparable to the group of people like Shi Dakai, the Wing King.

When the Wing King Shi Dakai was alone, these people were just middle and low-level officers in the Taiping Army and were not of the same generation at all.

Therefore, Tietoutuo and others who participated in the first Northern Expedition were really much higher than Weng Derong and others in terms of qualifications. In fact, not only that, the overall quality of the lost Taiping Army in Southeast Asia is also higher than that of the soldiers who fought in South America, because a large proportion of the soldiers there were veterans who had experienced the rise and heyday of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Silapizo looked at them incredibly, "God! Are you kidding? Are you even more elite than you?" At that moment, a little horror appeared in his eyes.

Tang Lei quickly took over the conversation, "But unfortunately, these soldiers were gathered from all over Southeast Asia and did not have their own weapons, so I hope Chile can provide weapons and equipment as soon as possible... I guarantee that their combat effectiveness is very strong. As long as they have adaptive training after about half a month, they will be able to go to the battlefield soon!"

Silapizzo nodded, "Oh, the equipment of ten thousand troops! I will do my best, and I will definitely do my best..."

Seeing Silapizo's face showing bitterness, Tang Lei beat the snake and followed the stick with the stick, "God General, I still have a business to talk to you carefully. I wonder if you need some cheap arms?"

The soldiers behind Tang Lei took a tarpaulin package from the back. After opening it on the table, the Chilean general shouted excitedly, "Oh, my God! Ninety percent new Enfield? Eighty percent new Springfield? Good stuff..."

Tang Lei showed a prodigal expression on his face, "How is it good? Look at the rifle is new and there is not much wear at all. I can equip more than 11,000 people with such weapons, and there are many bullets. Are you interested in eating them?"

Silapizzo would not be fooled easily. He smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, when did you become a businessman? But although these weapons are good, they are all second-hand goods? You can't buy them at the price..."

"Hahaha, nothing can be hidden from the general. These second-hand goods were eliminated from the American Civil War. Then we purchased them through relationships. Although they are not brand new, they can at least guarantee an average of 80% new. This is already very rare! I think it is more than enough to deal with the armies of Peru and Bolivia..."

"No, no, Mr. Tang didn't understand what I mean. I just regret to tell you that our Chile is in financial difficulties now, and I'm afraid we can't eat more than 10,000 rifles!"

Silapizzo sneered in his heart, "I want to do business with me? You are so young. You can bring so many weapons from Ryukyu. Who else can you give me except to sell them to? Sell them to Peru and Bolivia? Let them slaughter you Chinese?"

"If you can't sell it, can you still pull Ryukyu along the way? Do you think crossing the Pacific Ocean is a joke? Hahaha, God really favors me, this business will definitely take advantage..."

Just when he was full of joy, Tang Lei's words choked the sip of wine from his mouth into his trachea.

"The general misunderstood...Who said I asked you for money? I won't even ask for a single gold coin for this transaction!"

"Ahem cough cough..." Silapizo couldn't breathe when he was choked by the strong alcohol, his face flushed with redness. "What did you say? You don't want gold coins? Do you want to give it to us Chile for free?"

"Tsk!" A group of people looked at him idiotically. "The general is really good at joking. We will give more than 10,000 rifles for free? We are not so bad at having money. You have to exchange for things!"

"I brought twenty fly-scissors this time. Five of them were filled with silver, five of them were filled with saltpeter, and the remaining ten were filled with copper ingots. I wanted these things. If you fill these more than 10,000 rifles, you will get them all!"

"No, no, no... This is too difficult, you are blackmailing!" Silapizzo shouted immediately. Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
