The CIA in Jinling is completely built in the middle of a large area of ​​private houses near the Qinhuai River. Intelligence officers and ordinary people live in mixed places, with dense secret passages and tight guards. It is the most important intelligence base in the Jiangnan region.

Walking through the labyrinth-like alley and secretly walking, pushing open one door after another, Xiao Letian was a little confused and couldn't find the north. Then he walked out from behind a mahogany bookshelves, and there was an exquisite embroidery building in front of him.

Xiao Letian looked up and saw that there seemed to be a pair of pink shoes flashing by on the stairs on the second floor. He knew that this should be the residence of the female intelligence officer in disguise, and maybe it would be the hiding place of the Mizuki Ghost. Sure enough, the door leading to the garden was pushed open, and Mizuki Ghost walked in with a sallow man.

Sister Wu gave a ryukyu military salute, but she had not received training in recruits, so the salute posture was a bit strange. However, although the man behind Sister Wu looked sick, the salute posture was absolutely standard.

"CIA, the head of the South American branch, Tang Lei saluted the Prime Minister."

Puff... All the tea was sprayed out, and at the last moment, Xiao Letian tilted his head, otherwise the tea would have to be sprayed on Sister Wu.

The Long Master behind him was also stunned, "What's the matter? South America branch."

Xiao Letian was completely disgusted. When did he build the Intelligence Bureau branch to South America? Do I want to catch a few alpacas to sell? He led a group of alpacas all over Beijing, and then shouted, "Grass and Mud Horses... Grass and Mud Horses... Take a photo for one dollar." The picture was so beautiful that I couldn't imagine it.

"South America branch, why have I never heard of me having built a South America branch?"

Tang Lei, who had a waxy face, was not embarrassed at all, but a light called ambition flashed in his eyes, which Xiao Letian was very familiar with.

"You have reported to the Prime Minister, there is indeed no such organization as the CIA South America branch, because it was established by me without authorization."

"I..." Xiao Letian was speechless. How brave did this man have to secretly build a branch of the CIA and dared to speak arrogantly in front of him.

"Okay, I'll let you talk about the whole process of the matter in person. I'll give you this opportunity..."

Tang Lei, a native of Ryukyu, fled to Ryukyu in the late Ming Dynasty. Before joining the new army, he was the navy under General Cai Mao and served as the translator.

Later, Xiao Letian led 100,000 Chinese and Ryukyu natives to overthrow the Shimazu family. The passionate Tang Lei resolutely joined the prime minister. Because he was proficient in foreign languages, he was the first to be sent to the flying scissor ship for the American silver trade. On the one hand, he continued to be a translator, and on the other hand, he also served as an intelligence officer of the CIA.

Xiao Letian's CIA was originally called the Punishment Hall, which was specifically responsible for eliminating spies internally, killing spies externally, and spying on military information and winning over the forces in the dark. At that time, the Punishment Hall had a strong underground gang color.

Later, with the unremitting efforts of Wang Huaiyuan and Xiao Letian, the most important thing was the support of a large amount of funds. The Criminal Hall was upgraded to the Central Intelligence Agency, and its business scope gradually expanded.

With the Central Intelligence Agency, there was a Japanese branch, a North Korean branch, a Nanyang branch... and even Europe had a European branch under the charge of the Wing King Shi Dakai.

Since North America, especially Mexico, the United States and Mexico, have close business dealings with Xiao Lotte, some intelligence officers have been left here, but the level here is not high and cannot be considered as a branch but can only be considered a supervisor of silver trade.

So Tang Lei’s real position is the senior supervisor of North American silver trade in the CIA, who works part-time to collect intelligence in North America, but in principle they are only allowed to see and listen, and they must not interfere.

Those who dare to hang out with Xiao Letian will not be too brave and have a very inflated ambitions. The same is true for Tang Lei. His boring journey across the Pacific Ocean has made him go crazy. He is unwilling to be so depressed in his life. He wants to go further with the Prime Minister's power.

Sleepy will really come to the pillows, and opportunities will always be left to those who are prepared. Tang Lei did not expect that in 1867, the sixth year of Tongzhi, a caravan in South America brought news that shocked all Mexican Chinese.

Bolivia, Peru and Chile in South America were actually squashed. Not only that, in this conflict, a Chinese army of 8,000 people was invincible.

Tang Lei suddenly went crazy. He spent a lot of money to buy news from various channels, and finally confirmed that the information was true and there was no doubt.

If he doesn't seize such an opportunity, will Tang Lei still dare to say that he is an adventurer? If he wants to be a successful intelligence officer, his most basic quality is to love adventure.

Tang Lei activated all the funds in his authority, and even cheated and coaxed him to borrow a large amount of money from the captain and sailors with good relationships, organized a small expedition team, heading south and heading straight to the border of the three Central American countries.

However, the team was stopped before they arrived in Peru. When the border guards heard that the expedition team was going to Chile, they couldn't accept bribes, and they just didn't open the border.

There was no way, Tang Lei had to spend all his money and hired a pirate ship in Ecuador, and bypassed countless dangers and smuggled directly from the sea to Chile.

When he arrived at the Chilean port of Antofagasta, Tang Lei finally understood the whole story. It turned out that all the stories still have to be traced back to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It was a long story for a child to say.

There is a desert called Atacama between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean on the central west coast of South America. The climate is drought, with an average annual rainfall of less than 2.5 mm. There has been a record of no precipitation for fourteen consecutive years, and it is called the world's "drought pole".

No one would think of this barren land. No one would like to take a look at it in the ancient Incas or later Spanish conquerors.

Later, after the independence of Chile, Bolivia and Peru, this desert happened to be at the intersection of the Three Kingdoms. Everyone said that this place belongs to them and everyone swears sovereignty. However, since it is really worthless, it is fine for the Three Kingdoms to quarrel, and it will not start fighting because of a desert.

Finally, the Three Kingdoms negotiated quickly, and sank the small desert, one by one, to calm the dispute.

I thought this matter had subsided, but I didn't expect that after 1860, someone actually found a rich struvite and saltpeter veins in the desert. The quality was rare in the world. From then on, the contradictions between the Three Kingdoms intensified.

Note: There will be three updates today, haha, I didn’t expect that I would write about South America. Don’t worry, there will be one update at 6:7 pm, and there will be a major historical revelation at that time.
