The crowd was led by a young Chinese man in his early twenties, accompanied by a naval officer. When Lynch introduced Lopez, the young Chinese man stretched out his hand to shake hands: "Hello Mr. President, the contemptible person is Feng Fang, the general manager of the Second Malaysia Bank, and the one next to me is Tang Zhengcai, deputy commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Empire and commander of the New Mexico Army.

I heard that Mr. President wants the aid of our Chinese Empire? If you need anything, you can talk to Commander Tang! However, Mr. President, as you know, there is no such thing as love and hate for no reason, so tell us what kind of assistance you need in Paraguay and what kind of quid pro quo you are willing to offer? ”

"Haha, Mr. Feng is worthy of being a banker, people who do big things are different, refreshing enough! I just like to be straightforward! Seeing that this young man surnamed Feng was faintly higher than that Commander Tang, López opened his heart and said with a smile: "Mr. Feng, Commander Tang, then let's open the window and say something."

Paraguay has a small land area and a small population, and in the face of a joint attack by three countries, it is indeed very stressful! Therefore, I beg your country to ally with Paraguay, declare war on Brazil and Argentina, and send troops against them. You don't need many troops, just 10,000 troops!

Of course, I, Paraguay, am willing to open all the newly occupied seaports to your country, and at the same time to provide all the military expenses and pensions of your reinforcements, as well as an additional remuneration of £1 million.

In addition, with regard to the Bank of Malaysia opened by Mr. Feng, in Paraguay, not only does we allow your bank to open branches, but we are also willing to let all our treasury expenses and loans be operated by your bank. ”

I have to say that López's conditions are, in his opinion, enough. His expectations were also ideal, and he knew that some of his lions were opening their mouths, waiting for the other party to bargain.

"Mr. President, you have this condition...... Feng felt a little ......," the young man surnamed Feng was a little embarrassed, and said strangely: "Could it be that Mr. President doesn't want Paraguay to expand its territory more?" ”

Tang Zhengcai, the general next to him, also said strangely: "I'm sorry, Mr. President, can you first give a general introduction to the specific situation of your country and the situation of the enemy two countries?" It also allows us to know the situation of our troops on both sides and make reasonable arrangements. ”

López was overjoyed, and it seemed that the tone of the other party's voice revealed that he was willing to help Paraguay deal with Brazil and Argentina. He hurriedly said happily: "It is true that the situation between the enemy and us seems to be very different, but in fact, it is not reckless for me to dare to declare war on Brazil and Argentina at the same time.

Purely in terms of population, Brazil's population of 10 million, Argentina's population of 1.5 million, and Paraguay's population of only 500,000 plus some Indians, is indeed very different, but the proportion of Paraguay's indigenous Guarani people and Madisos with Indian blood is as high as 90 percent, and they are all brave people. And, with the other difference, after I became president, I developed Paraguay's military strength and increased the total strength of the army to the current 30,000 regular troops, including 25,000 in the Army, 5,000 in the River Navy and Marine Corps, and 30,000 in addition to the 30,000 reserve forces. Brazil has a regular army of 150,000 men at most, Argentina has only about 100,000 men, and as for Uruguay, I have never considered it as an opponent, and the army of up to 4,000 people is also poorly trained and equipped, which can be ignored at all.

But Brazil and Argentina are so vast that they can't move all their troops over to fight us, and at most about one-fifth of them can be mobilized.

Moreover, Paraguay has imported a lot of advanced weapons and equipment from Europe, and has also carried out effective military training for its soldiers, which is much stronger than that of the Brazilian and Argentine armies. Therefore, in the more than a year since the start of the war, we have won many victories, including the victory of Mato Grosso!

But since the beginning of this year, since Brazil and Argentina united, we have been in a difficult situation, the war is getting more and more difficult, especially since the other side's navy has blockaded our Paraguay along the seaport into the Paraná River, and our gunpowder supply is in difficulty, and our stocks are getting smaller and smaller. Moreover, we find that Brazil and Argentina seem to have a shadow of British dictation behind them. ”

"There is a shadow of Britain? So, Mr. President, you think of our Chinese Empire? Feng Fang, who was known as Feng Fang, chuckled.

After taking over the task of forming the bank, he set up the bank's headquarters in San Francisco according to that person's vision. In this way, he also knew that his focus would be in the Americas in the future, so he immediately set up branches in key cities across the Americas with abundant funds, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cleveland, Atlanta, New Orleans, Charleston, Veracruz, Mexico City, Panama City, Havana and other cities have set up offices. Using the funds in his hands to form a team of people and teams, he began to attract local elites and began to make extensive investments.

Of course, with the personnel of the Secret Service in the Americas as protection, and the power of the Chinese Empire in the Americas, Feng Huifang did not worry about the encroachment of investment and other matters, but gradually penetrated his tentacles into the hinterland of the Americas. In the process, South America was too late to be developed due to its sparse population and lack of civilization, but he asked the Bank to collect information about South America, including Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

Compared to countries such as Brazil, Chile and Argentina, Paraguay, a small landlocked country, was not actually in Feng's plan at all, but a letter from the one in Shengjing told him to pay attention to wooing and using the country, which meant that investing in this country would have great returns. He paid attention to it, and really found that this Paraguay is not simple.

Since the inauguration of the dictatorial president, Paraguay has risen rapidly from a backward agricultural country, and has encouraged foreign trade and introduced a large amount of foreign investment under the president's encouragement; Engineers from Europe were invited to help build railways, shipyards, and steel mills; recruiting doctors, technicians, factories and schools in Europe and North America; Paraguay has set up a series of Western basic industries such as telegraphs and newspapers, and the average level of industrialization in Paraguay is the highest in South America, but after all, the country is small, even if the industrial development is relatively good, it is still not enough to see compared with Europe, so there is a big gap between it and Brazil and Argentina in terms of economic and human and material resources. It is precisely because of this that I will come to invest. Shengjing has long said that a true banker invests more than just money.

"Yes! Mr. Feng! The Brazilian Navy was not much stronger than ours, and with the help of shore defense batteries, our Paraguay River Fleet was able to resist although there were not many warships, but in the naval battle of the river last month, our Paraguayan Fleet was almost completely wiped out. Without naval support, our Paraguay River was lost, and the war situation deteriorated. López did not have the slightest arrogance of the president, he knew the energy of the person in front of him, and sincerely pleaded: "Please also ask the gentleman to help!" Paraguay will be rewarded! With the help of these three ironclads, I believe we can inflict heavy damage on Brazilian warships! ”

Feng Guifang smiled: "There is no problem with assistance, for our Chinese Empire, as long as it is a matter of Indian brothers, we have an unshirkable responsibility, first of all, we are willing to assist your country, and it is precisely because your government treats Indians more kindly!"

Mr. President, in terms of military assistance, it will be arranged by Commander Tang, he is an expert in this regard, and Feng is just a businessman, so he will not say much. As for your country's remuneration or conditions, we will discuss it together after listening to Commander Tang's assistance arrangements!" ”

Tang Zhengcai was very obedient to Feng Guifang, and said: "Mr. President, my Chinese Empire didn't want to make too many enemies, of course, this is not because I am afraid of a small country like Brazil and Argentina, but because I am unwilling to give people a handle, after all, the territory of our Chinese Empire is too vast, and it will be enough for the Chinese people to develop it in a hundred years." But now that Britain has intervened, we have no choice but to intervene! After all, this territory of Paraguay will border the Pacific Ocean in the future, so it is a country in the Pacific region, and our Chinese Empire has the responsibility and obligation to protect it! ”
