The latest information in South America was not at all expected by Xiao Letian, because this history was really rarely mentioned in the previous life, although it was not a top secret, but too few people knew about it, and too few people spread it. In addition, the nineteenth century was an era of great changes, and there were many historical events that were more powerful than the 8,000 lonely army, so they were naturally covered up.

But Xiao Letian is not a bystander who only knows how to watch the excitement, he has an interest in every great change in this world, otherwise how could the corrupt Confucians give him a-stirring stick nicknamed the Great Qing Kingdom.

Now Xiao Lotian has a huge map of the Pacific Ocean in front of him, and South America is on the right side of the map.

"What's the situation in Tahiti now?" Xiao Letian said in a low voice without raising his head, and at this time, Wang Huaiyuan and Xiao Hexin, who had just arrived from Shanghai, appeared beside Xiao Letian.

"We have now emigrated a thousand people in Tahiti, and in accordance with the Prime Minister's orders, we have begun to make contact with the indigenous peoples there, and because we do business with equal temperament and have the same skin color, there is very little resistance...... We're more popular than those Europeans......"

"Now Lotte has started to build the infrastructure of Tahiti, a large military dock is being built, and we are also spending money to buy goods such as coral and pearl hawksbill turtles from the local natives, the purpose is to integrate them into our economic circle, as long as the economy is integrated, the culture and education in the future can naturally keep up......"

Xiao Letian clicked on the map of Tahiti Island, which is the Chinese transliterated Tahiti Island" "Always remember what I said, this kind of isolated island, once there is a large national war, don't resist, their strength is too weak, I allow them to surrender to the enemy......"

"Why?" Wang Huaiyuan asked puzzled...... "But Xiao Hexin knows the prime minister very well.

"Tahiti is too far away from us, it's an enclave hanging overseas, you look at the map...... More than 4,000 kilometers to the north is Honolulu, more than 5,000 kilometers to the west to Australia, and as for the straight-line distance to our Ryukyus, it has already exceeded 10,000 kilometers, how can we keep it?"

"There is only one way to deal with enclaves, and that is to seize de jure ownership, then maintain permanent neutrality, and use the soft knife of culture to conquer the local indigenous ...... first."

Xiao Letian nodded, "That's right, such a distant island can't be defended by military occupation, all we can rely on is the public law of all nations, the French have signed an agreement, this island and the surrounding subsidiary islands have been sold to us, and international law will protect us......"

"In the future, if we stand up straight, I'm afraid we will not be able to reach the whip, so don't sacrifice senselessly, let us conquer those natives with tolerance and love, and let them always remember that we are the most merciful rulers! The military role of this island is only one, that is, to provide material supplies for the fleet, so the dock should be built into a permanent dock at one time, and it must be able to berth ships of tens of thousands of tons......"

"Tens of thousands of tons? There are still such big warships in the sky? Even British battleships are only three or four thousand tons of tonnage, right?" This time it was Xiao Hexin's turn to be surprised.

Wang Huaiyuan smiled, looked at the prime minister, and said secretly, "Don't worry, our secret weapon will be in hand this year, and you will know what the benefits of a large-tonnage dock are when the time comes!"

Xiao Lotian still patrolled the map, driving from Tahiti all the way east to the Gambier Islands, Henderson Island, Easter Island...... That's right, it's the famous Easter Island, an island full of mysterious megalithic figures, and here it is the territory of the Republic of Chile.

Once you reach Easter Island, you can head straight west until you reach the place where the war has accumulated the most, that is, the Iquique region where Onn Derong and Chen Yonglu are fighting.

Xiao Lotian threw down the red and blue pencils in his hand with a click, "Add one article to the Chilean draft, our Ryukyu Club will secretly fund them a military expenditure, within five million US dollars, you can discuss, and at the same time provide them with 10,000 Taiping troops to help them fight ......"

"But when the war is over, if Chile wins, we will lease the Iquique region for 100 years...... Sovereignty will always belong to Chile, but we in the Ryukyus want the right to govern and the right to garrison!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan saluted excitedly.

Iquique, this location is right on the waist of South America, and in the future it must be the border of the three countries, with Bolivia, Peru and Chile all having easy access to resources.

South America is too rich in resources, especially the reserves of non-ferrous metals are simply amazing, and many of the veins are shallow ore sources, which is very suitable for the current era of low mechanization.

China is not short of coal and iron, but China has been a non-ferrous and oil-deficient country since ancient times, and for the next hundred years, it is necessary to tighten its belt and take Iquique off today.

Tang Lei is the head of the South American branch of the CIA and the first ambassador of Chile to the Ryukyus...... He wants Ban Dingyuan's merits, so I will give him this condition, and when he completes all his strategic goals and successfully returns to China, I Xiao Lotian will give him ......"

"Knighted!" A vicious word, the two important ministers who were stimulated were all in their blood, and the Ryukyu title system, which the prime minister had been hesitating about, had already made up his mind at this moment?

In respect of Zaichun, Xiao Letian carried out some affairs of the Taiping Army behind his back, and the little emperor was very clever He knew that this master must be dealing with secrets that were inconvenient for him to access.

Although he is sensible, he is still a little reluctant in his heart, and he has no mind to play these days.

Sure enough, three days later, Xiao Letian returned to invite the two Zeng Dashuai brothers with wine, and they ended their trip to Jiangnan and drove along the Yangtze River to Shanghai, and they got an exciting news just after arriving in Shanghai.

There was a vicious brawl in the British Concession, in which several British businessmen and the captain and first mate, a total of six people, drank and played poker in a bar, quarreled over more than 200 pounds of gambling money, and finally got into a big fight.

It is also a common occurrence for the owner of the bar to throw six drunks into the alley at the back door of the bar, and when the owner is doing business in London, he also throws drunks outside.

But what I didn't expect was that the patrol found that the six Britons were actually dead early the next morning, and there were several bloody daggers on the ground, which should have been caused by a drunken brawl through the scene investigation.

This is a headless public case, only Xiao Lotian and Zaichun looked at each other and smiled, "Shanghai is really an adventurer's paradise! Since you have chosen to be an adventurer, then don't be afraid of death...... Hahaha!"
