After listening to the translated words of the general surnamed Tang, López was surprised and delighted. From Tang Zhengcai's words, he heard two meanings, one is that the Chinese Empire thinks that their territory is large enough and does not want to occupy any more territory, and the Chinese Empire has no ambitions for South America, or even his Paraguay territory, in this way, his original worries are put down, but there is another meaning, to protect Paraguay and even the entire Pacific countries, so in this case, Paraguay will be shrouded in the shadow of the Chinese Empire in the future?

Fortunately, Tang Zhengcai seemed to understand his thoughts, and then immediately said: "Therefore, all the territories that capture the enemy country belong to your country, and our Chinese Empire does not take anything from it.

In that case, Mr. President, why don't you want to raise more troops and annex Uruguay directly, as well as the northern territories of Argentina, the central and western regions of Brazil, or even the whole of Argentina and half of Brazil, where there are many Indian compatriots, and wouldn't it be better to rescue them?

At the very least, the name of your country is Paraguay, and the Paraguay River and the Paraná River behind it should be in your hands. Right, Mr. President? ”

Lopez looked at Tang Zhengcai and Feng Guifang in surprise and said, "Can it still be like this?" ”

"Yes, Mr. President! Not only do we meet your request for 10,000 reinforcements, but we are also prepared to mobilize a fleet of 3,000 men to help you, and a mercenary force of 30,000 or 50,000 can reinforce you. Of course, the command of this mercenary force is under us, and the military expenditure is about twice as high as the cost of your own country, and it will be borne by Mr. President, and all the capture will go to them. How is it? ”

López was stunned!

Originally, he asked for 10,000 reinforcements, but with these 10,000 troops, and now he is desperately raising troops in Paraguay, almost all the adult and young men are collected to join the army, and resist and defeat the Brazilian and Argentine armies that compete with them, there should be no big problem. But what I didn't expect was that the Chinese Empire not only promised to send 10,000 troops, but also offered to speak by itself, 35,000 land as it pleased, and a fleet of 3,000 people, how could it be so generous?

And the conditions, just the military expenses of mercenaries, although it is said to be higher, are worth it. As for the seizure, this is something that does not need to be mentioned in the first place.

"Thank you, Mr. Feng and General Tang! With 50,000 mercenaries, Paraguay will be able to defeat the enemy coalition in a year! López hurriedly said: "It's just that the conditions that your country needs, please ask Mr. Feng and General Tang to speak directly, don't have any scruples." ”

Tang Zhengcai looked at Feng Guifang, he was naturally headed by Feng Guifang.

Feng Guifang was not humble either, and said directly: "Mr. President, that's good, let's just say the conditions!" The first is the cost of hiring an army, Commander Tang said that the military cost of a soldier is 5 pounds per month, that is, hiring 50,000 troops, calculated according to one year of operation, is a total of 3 million pounds, which is not too high. All the seized booty was in the possession of the soldiers, and all of them were purchased by the Bank of Malaysia.

Of course, in return, the citizens of the Chinese Empire are treated equally in your country, and the state of Minas Gerais in the southeast of Brazil, as well as the western part of Argentina and the central and northern parts of Chile, although nominally belong to your country, are developed and operated by our mining companies under the Second Horse Company, and the garrison is also defended by the mercenary forces of our Second Horse Company.

In addition to this, there is a special request that we at the Bank of Malaysia, under the authority of the Central Bank of the Chinese Empire, will issue a common currency in the Americas, the Holy Currency, and Mr. President will ensure that our Holy Currency can be circulated in your country. Of course, your country's own currency, the guarani, is still in circulation.

For the other purposes of the various investments of the Chinese Empire, especially our Bank of the Second Malaysia, in your country and in South America, under the same conditions, Mr. President ensures that we have priority rights and interests. ”

López immediately said, "We accept them all!" Such conditions are too lenient. The places mentioned by Mr. Feng, as long as Mr. Feng takes a fancy to them, will be transferred to your Erma Company. ”

López didn't expect that the other party's conditions were so simple, and he really didn't even occupy the territory, on the contrary, according to the reinforcement plan of 50,000 troops, if nothing else, at least the existing Paraguayan territory could be more than doubled, especially the other party's proposal, Paraguay will become a Pacific Rim country, which means that Paraguay's territory will at least extend to the Pacific Coast, that is, it will break through the territory of Argentina and Chile in the west, and in addition, he can also support Uruguay's white party government to come to power, or even directly annex Uruguay.

As for the rest, in terms of military spending, although it seems that the expenditure of 3 million pounds is very huge, the family funds that my father has accumulated for himself over the years is a little harder, but it is barely enough. It is believed that with the addition of 50,000 mercenaries, and Paraguay's own reserves continue to be recruited, in a year, at most a year and a half, Brazil and Argentina can be completely defeated and forced to sign an armistice. Other seizures and the right to use and circulate money can be ignored in comparison with the territory.

"Mr. Feng, Commander Tang, you are my most sincere friends! We, Paraguay, will regard the Chinese Empire as our most trusted ally and will resolutely defend your most favored treatment! López was a little impatient: "In this case, I can arrange the next round of battle plan and attack immediately!" By the way, when did your mercenaries arrive? ”

"There are 20,000 mercenaries in the Americas, and the others are formed locally from Japan and the North American region of Hexi, which is very convenient. As long as your country's £1,500,000 is provided to the Mexico City branch of the Bank of Malaysia, the mercenaries will be on the battlefield within a month! Feng Guifang seemed to remember something, and added: "By the way, the gunpowder that your country ordered from my Erma Gunpowder Company last month, we directly transferred it to those mercenaries, so if your country still needs gunpowder, you need to continue to order."

In addition, in order to help Mr. President save war funds and capture the enemy army with more certainty, we can lease these three ironclad ships in front of us to your navy, so that our Pacific Fleet can send a detachment to help in the war, not in the name of the Chinese Empire but in the name of your navy. In addition, if your country needs muskets and artillery, military uniforms, etc., we can also provide them from Erma Arms Company. ”

At this moment, Feng Guifang seems to have become a businessman talking about business, selling his goods. In this case, even Paraguayan President Andrés López, who has always been tough, could not refuse anything at all and agreed to it.

Just after finishing their conversation, López was about to invite the two into the city of Asunción to go to his presidential palace, when the guard officer came to report that a Paraguayan army of 12,500 men led by Colonel Estigarivia on the front line had entered Brazil alone, and as a result, it lost contact with the capital, and the situation became critical.

López, who was still happy just now, turned pale all of a sudden.
