1049 Post-war chaos
The newspaper is so big, Tang Lei and Tietoutuo are already a little full after eating three, and they want to find some food wine to match, but they look at it and see that there is still a small strip left in their hands.
The two sighed, "Next time, let's burn it with fire?" The prime minister talks a lot, and he chokes ...... panic after seeing too much."
The last one is not a serious order, but just a suggestion, and Xiao Letian said to the two of them in a consultative tone: "More than 400 kilometers south of Lima, the capital of Peru, there is a place called Nazca, which is a desert plateau, if you can, please refrain from passing through here, and do not fight here and destroy the environment......"
The two looked at each other and gave each other an incredible order, but the prime minister didn't say what the reason was, just mentioned that if there was a chance, let them put a hot air balloon in this desert and go up with a camera, there would definitely be an adventure.
Their eyes lit up with intense curiosity, and they quickly found the map and began to study where Nazca was. Sure enough, I found a very inconspicuous character on the map of Peru, which is not a city at all, just a town, and if you don't go out of your way to find it, you won't pay attention to it at all.
Tang Lei asked people to find a few local natives, and after asking for a long time, they couldn't come up with a reason, and then they looked for soldiers from the Nazca region from the Peruvian captives, and sure enough, after detailed questioning, they found two indigenous soldiers in their thirties, who were from the Nazca region.
But it's a pity that there is no valuable information, Nazca is originally a plateau wasteland, perennial drought and little rain, let alone growing crops, even grazing alpacas is very difficult.
Sorry, for thousands of years, where has been a desert steppe, and I have never heard of any valuable minerals.
For a long time, the two captives from the Nazca region did not say any valuable information, Tang Lei waved his hand regretfully and let them go back to the prisoner camp, and before leaving, he gave the two captives two long breads.
Perhaps the two Peruvian captives felt that they were in vain, and as they left the camp, they suddenly turned back and said, "There is nothing special about that wasteland, but ...... But there are many legends since ancient times, and I heard the elders of the tribe say that in that wasteland, a long, long time ago, there were gods who often appeared, taught the local people how to plant, prologue, and how to make a calendar......
"If you're looking for anything weird, I guess this legend is the only weird place!"
Tang Lei waved his hand and shook his head with a wry smile, saying that there are many legends in this place in South America, and the Mayan culture and Inca culture are all representatives of the theocratic world.
The two Tietoutuo temporarily abandoned this last suggestion and continued to devote their energies to the other three commands.
Expanding the war, including plotting against the Westerners, all of this has to be done in secret, as long as there is enough time, this is not a problem, and the second order is no longer to be considered, the Zhiyuan has now returned, and they can't catch up if they want to.
For the third Tahiti support operation, it can wait until the Iquique dock is rebuilt, they have passed through Tahiti on the way to South America, and the first 1,000 or so immigrants are now living well, at least without worrying about food and drink.
After the city of Iquique was restored to its function a little, it was necessary to immediately open up a Chinese route to Tahiti, not to make money, but to complete the strategic arrangement of the prime minister.
At present, the total number of Chinese in the Iquique region is about 15,000, of which 5,000 are disabled and unable to fight, so they can only live in the city of Iquique as citizens and supervise the recovery and reconstruction of the prisoners.
The remaining 10,000 elite soldiers began the intensive work of modernization and restructuring, and through breaking up and reorganizing into a reinforced division, three subordinate regiments, and a new organizational structure according to the three-three system.
Now the Chilean side no longer dares to use these Chinese as mercenaries, and in this reconstruction, all the resources of the whole Chile are prioritized for the use of Chinese divisions, and the Iquique region has become a training ground for Chinese divisions.
Tie Toutuo 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 at the same time carried out the construction operation of the South American CIA. One article and one martial arts have allowed the Chinese to expand rapidly in South America.
A month later, in the downtown area of Santiago, the capital of Chile, a bomb attack broke out less than 20 meters from the gate of the British Standard Chartered Bank, which killed 33 Chilean civilians, killed five British employees, and injured countless others.
The tragedy shocked the whole of Santiago, and the military and police in the city began a large-scale search, but in the end, only in a private house, some tools for making gunpowder, some burned documents, and the names of some high-ranking Peruvian officials were found in the remaining pieces of paper.
This was the only clue to the tragedy, and European ministers in South America condemned the attack and demanded an explanation from Peru.
Just when Peru was in the middle of the crisis, another tragedy suddenly occurred in Lima, where Henry, an arms dealer from the British, had his throat cut in his hotel room, and the entire eiderdown bed was soaked with blood.
Now the Peruvian side can be regarded as a lifesaver, they aimed their artillery at Chile, and insisted that the British businessman Henry died at the hands of Chile, because the Chilean side hated Henry for reselling arms to Peru.
The Standard Chartered Bank tragedy and the assassination of Henry moved the entire Western world, and the noble white Europeans were furious when they read the news in the newspapers.
The fact that noble Europeans were slaughtered in third-rate countries is an insult to the entire civilized world! Many newspapers and periodicals have published murderous reports one after another, and they have begun to coerce public opinion to exert pressure on the government, and the British prime minister is the most under pressure.
Prime Minister Derby, who once had a relationship with Xiao Letian, is now old and old, and he is in pain from severe ventilation, and now he is even considering whether to resign as prime minister.
Not only did he lose his body, but his prestige in the government gradually declined, Benjamin Disraeli has become the real power in the government, the young Benjamin has been approved by the queen, and there is no doubt that he will take over as prime minister.
Looking at the information that had just been sent from the table, Count Derby rubbed his knees bitterly, "Could it be that Chinese really have such a powerful warship?" It seems that my guess is correct, Prussia and Chinese are so close! This is not a good thing, I must knock him in advance......"
After all, the relationship between the Ryukyus and Russia is very serious, and the Tsar is ready to send more troops to the Far East...... If Xiao Letian is weakened at this time, it is unwilling to think about it......"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the study, "Your Excellency, an urgent telegram from South America...... and a clerk pushed the door open without the Prime Minister's consent.
"Your Excellency, our British intelligence officer, Henry, was assassinated in Lima! This is a telegram that has just been sent......"
"What? Are the native barbarians crazy?" said the Prime Minister of Derby, angrily furious.
