1049 Post-war chaos
The telegraph paper was so big. Tang Lei and Tietoutuo were already a little full after eating three pieces. They wanted to find some wine to match with, but they looked at it and found that there was still a small piece left in their hands.
The two sighed, "Let's just use fire next time? The prime minister talks a lot, and he's choking when he sees too much..."
The last one is not a serious order, but just a suggestion. Xiao Letian said to them in a controversial tone, "A little over 400 kilometers south of Lima, the capital of Peru, there is a place called Nasca. This is a desert plateau. If possible, please avoid traveling here, and do not fight here and destroy the environment..."
The two looked at each other with incredible Prime Minister's order, but the Prime Minister did not say any reason later. He just mentioned that if there was a chance, they would definitely have an adventure if they had to put a hot air balloon in this desert and take a camera.
The strong curiosity made both of them lit up their eyes. They quickly found the map and began to carefully study where Nasca was. Sure enough, they found very inconspicuous characters on the Peru map. It was not a city at all, but a town. If you didn't go to find it specifically, you wouldn't pay attention to it.
Tang Lei asked someone to find several local indigenous people, but after asking for a long time, he couldn't find out why. Then they looked for soldiers from the Peruvian prisoners. Sure enough, after detailed inquiry, they found two indigenous soldiers in their thirties, who came from the Nasca region.
But unfortunately, there is no valuable information. Nasca is originally a plateau wasteland. It has been dry and rainy all year round, let alone planting crops, even grazing alpacas is very difficult.
Do you ask if there are any valuable minerals? Sorry, there is a desert grassland for thousands of years, and I have never heard of any valuable minerals.
After a long time, the two prisoners from the Nasca area did not say any valuable information. Tang Lei waved his hand regretfully and asked them to return to the prisoner camp. Before leaving, he also gave the two prisoners two long bread.
Maybe two Peruvian prisoners felt that they were not rewarded. When they left the camp, they suddenly turned around and said, "Although there is nothing special about that wasteland, but... but there have been many legends since ancient times. I heard from the elders of the tribe that gods often appeared on that wasteland for a long time ago, teaching local people how to plant it, and teaching local people how to formulate calendars..."
"If you have to look for something weird, I think this kind of legend is the only weird place!"
Tang Lei waved his hand and smiled bitterly, shaking his head, thinking that there are many legends in South America, and the Mayan culture and Inca culture are representatives of the world of theocracy. It is not surprising that there are many legends in South America. If there is no legend in a certain area, it would be strange.
Tietou Tuo and the others temporarily gave up the last suggestion and continued to devote their energy to the other three orders.
Expanding the war, including conspiring to deal with Westerners, all these have to be handled secretly. As long as there is enough time, this is not a problem. The second order is no longer considered. The Zhiyuan has returned now, and they can't catch up even if they want to.
For the third Tahiti support operation, we can wait until the Iquik Pier is rebuilt before launching. On the way to South China's reinforcements came to South America, they once passed by Tahiti. The earliest more than a thousand immigrants are still alright now, at least they don't have to worry about food and drink.
After the Iquik City restores its functions, it will immediately open a Chinese route to Tahiti, not to make money but to complete the Prime Minister's strategic arrangement.
The total number of Chinese workers in the Iquik area is now about 15,000, of which 5,000 are disabled and unable to fight. They can only be converted into citizens and live in Iquik City, supervising the prisoners to carry out restoration and reconstruction work.
The remaining 10,000 elite soldiers began to work hard to modernize and reorganize, and reorganize them into a strengthening division, with three subordinate regiments, and reorganized them according to the three-three system.
Now Chile no longer dares to use these Chinese as mercenaries. During this reconstruction, all resources in the entire Chile are given priority to the Chinese division for use, and the Iquik region has become the training ground for the Chinese division.
Tietoutuo and Chen Yonglu were the chief and deputy division commanders, while Tang Lei left the army to continue the mission of the Ryukyu ambassador, and carried out the construction of the CIA in South America at the same time. The two legs of one civil and one military allowed the Chinese people to expand rapidly in South America.
A month later, a terrorist bomb attack broke out in the downtown area of Santiago, the capital of Chile. The explosion site was less than 20 meters away from the gate of Standard Chartered Bank in the UK. The terrorist attack killed 33 Chilean civilians, five British employees died, and countless others were injured.
The tragedy shocked the entire Santiago. The military and police in the city began a large-scale search, but in the end, some tools for making gunpowder were found in a private house and some burned documents. Some names of senior Peruvian officials were found in the remaining paper.
This became the only clue to the tragedy. The ministers of European countries in South America condemned the atrocities and asked Peru to explain.
Just when Peru was in a state of turmoil, another tragedy occurred in Lima. Henry, an arms dealer from Britain, was cut off his throat in a hotel room, and the blood filled the entire duck down bed.
Now Peru has found a life-saving straw. They pointed the artillery fire at Chile and insisted that British businessman Henry died at Chile because Chile hated Henry to resell arms to Peru.
The Standard Chartered Bank tragedy and Henry's assassination moved the entire Western world. The noble white Europeans were furious when they saw these news in the newspapers. At this time, Europeans had developed a unique temperament from the prosperity of colonizing the world. How could they accept such insults?
The noble Europeans were actually massacred in third-rate countries, which is an insult to the entire civilized world! Many newspapers and magazines have published murderous reports, and they began to put pressure on the government with public opinion. Among them, the British Prime Minister was the one who was under the greatest pressure.
Prime Minister Derby, who once met Xiao Letian, is now in a twilight age. He is suffering from severe ventilation and suffering from pain. Now he is even considering whether to resign from the position of Prime Minister.
Not only was his body unable to withstand it, his prestige in the government has gradually declined. Benjamin Disrael has become a real power in the government. The young Benjamin has been recognized by the queen, and there is no doubt that he will take over as prime minister.
Looking at the information just sent on the table, the Count Derby rubbed his knees in pain. "Does the Chinese really have such a powerful warship? It seems that my guess is correct. Prussia and the Chinese are so close! This is not a good thing, I have to hit him in advance..."
"But how much force does it take? After all, the relationship between Ryukyu and Russia is very serious now, and the Tsar is ready to increase troops to the Far East... If Xiao Letian is weakened at this time? I will be unwilling to accept it if I think about it..."
At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly knocked quickly, "Prime Minister, South America sent an emergency telegram..." While speaking, a clerk pushed open the door without the Prime Minister's consent.
"Prime Minister! Our British intelligence officer Henry was assassinated in Lima! This is the telegram I just sent..."
