"Boss, this is all the Charuas I can buy without alarming the Spaniards." Outside Punta del Este, a Chinese dressed as a 20-something commercial bank clerk reported to his boss, Feng Yuesheng, head of the operations section of the South American Division of the Chen Han Military Intelligence Agency.

Feng Yuesheng is the younger brother of the Ming Concubine Feng family, and the descendants of the old Feng family are cut off, but this does not mean that Feng Yinglian and his ancestors are all in the same lineage.

Feng Yuesheng is a member of the Feng family, and his bloodline is not far away.

Although he is now only the head of the Operations Section of the Uruguay Branch, this does not mean that he is of any lower rank.

South America is a key area of operation for the MIA, and for some unspeakable reason, the South American Division has surpassed the European Division in the rankings for several years. The rank of his number one is only half a level lower than that of Chen Liang, and he also serves as the deputy of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The Uruguay Service is an extremely dangerous intelligence front, and the rank of Director is only half a step lower than that of the Director. And Feng Yuesheng's rank in the Operations Section is only half a level lower than that of the director.

So his position is not low at all.

Chen Liang is only from the second grade, the number one leader of the South American Division is the third grade, the person in charge of the Uruguay department is the third grade, and Feng Yuesheng, who is only thirty-two years old, is the fourth grade.

If such a grade is transferred back to China, he can be in charge of the provincial national security bureau.

Feng Yuesheng nodded slightly, and then looked at the unkempt and ragged Charuya people with a dead man's gaze.

There were about two or three hundred of them, of all heights and ages, but they all looked thin.

Of course, 'thin' doesn't mean 'weak'.

Although these people look thin and thin, as long as they can have a raging fire in their hearts, they are strong.

The emaciation of the body is a sign of their overwork and chronic malnutrition. Many of them still have scars on their bodies, as if they had been abused by their owners, and they are still wearing shackles on their hands and feet, and they walk with a loud noise.

But don't look at their physical misery at the moment, but they are very uplifted mentally. Because their new owners were kind, they had just come here and each received a thick piece of bread and a small piece of salty lump.

And they were given bread by people who looked exactly like the Charuya, who were fluent in the indigenous language, and apparently they were also Charruya.

So the two or three hundred Charuas all looked with respectful and friendly eyes at the foreigners who were all yellow-skinned, but who were markedly different from them. They'll be kind to everyone, right? As long as there is enough food to eat every day, each of them will work as hard as they can. And when many people think that they will have enough food to eat every day in the future, the anger in their hearts unconsciously dissipates a lot. It was such a beautiful day!

"Boss, if there aren't enough of them, we'll have to buy their slaves directly from the Spaniards."

The young man said to Feng Yuesheng.

The natives of the colder regions of South America, such as the Charua and the Mapuche, were not suitable races for slavery.

These Indians were free-spirited and aggressive by nature, far less docile than the blacks, and even less capable of heavy work than the blacks, and it was not cost-effective to capture them as slaves unless necessary.

Therefore, the Spaniards did not feel distressed at all when they killed these natives.

It has only been 17 years since the Spanish completely conquered Uruguay in 1777 - they defeated the Portuguese in Brazil, and the number of Indians in Uruguay has decreased by 50,000 or 60,000.

According to the investigation of the Military Intelligence Agency, the Spaniards committed no less than 20 massacres of entire tribes and tribes. On average, more than once a year!

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The Charuas fought with the Spaniards and the Portuguese for a hundred or two hundred years. Although the Spaniards controlled all of Uruguay, the Charuas not only fled but also rebelled, attacking Spanish colonies, attacking Spanish yeoman farmers who had entered Uruguay, and destroying the plantations of the Spanish upper class slave owners and aristocratic bureaucrats. And it also engaged in a long-term war of harassment with the secret funding of suspicious foreign powers, which caused the Spaniards to frequently send troops to suppress it.

Although the Spaniards knew very well who the foreign power was that could, who else could there be besides the Portuguese in Brazil next door?

At that time, in order to secure their rule in Uruguay, the Spaniards transferred troops from Chile, and at the same time bribed Indians from other tribes to fight with them, and it took countless money and a considerable amount of time to suppress the wave of rebellion.

Punca del Este is a port city on the southern coast of Uruguay, not too far from Montevideo and also in the Rio de la Plata estuary.

This place has long ceased to exist for Indian life. But the people of the Operations Department can quietly buy two or three hundred Charuya from here, and those Charuya are of course slaves.

After the previous wave of revolt by the Charua, the Spaniards did not ease their oppression of the Charua. Instead, they intensified their efforts and instituted stricter controls, and a large number of Charuas died under the brutal tyranny of the Spanish colonizers, who were also sent to plantations and slave owners in various places by the Spanish colonizers.

These people are seeds of hatred.

It's a pity that the war between Chen Han and the Spaniards, no matter how it is conducted, cannot reach the mouth of the Río de la Plata.

Otherwise, Feng Yuesheng felt that it was necessary to send a fleet to sweep the mouth of the La Plate at a critical time, free the Charuas and black slaves, and even the white indentured slaves in the Spanish plantations, issue them weapons, and let them go to the Spaniards to settle accounts, which would definitely greatly shake the foundation of the Spanish rule in the area of the Estuary of La Plata - it would become a bloody hell, or even completely destroy it.

In Uruguay, the Charuas hated the Spaniards. What the MIA has to do now is to select a batch of tinder, carefully cultivate them, let them take care of their bodies, learn to use weapons and make improvised weapons of destruction such as gunpowder, and then create incidents, let them 'be free', and let them ignite the raging flames of war.

And when Feng Yuesheng announced to the Charuya people in front of him that they would be given freedom in five years, that the honest and obedient people would have enough food to eat, and that they would be treated for the next few months and that they would be taught to use weapons, they immediately cheered.

Two months after receiving the weapons, these people 'escaped from prison' one after another, stole the weapons, and fled to the farms, pastures, and manors in the countryside, to attack the Spanish farmers and slave owners who had brutally enslaved them, divide their money, cattle and sheep, kill all the Spaniards they could see, and then burn down the manors, warehouses, and houses that had been built with a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

The fireworks of revenge are irrational.

They were joined by a large group of Charruas, and a large group of Spanish freedmen fled to Montevideo in disarray. It was the center of Spanish rule in Uruguay.

The Spaniards, of course, immediately sent troops to suppress it. But their method of suppression was to slaughter, to kill the Indians together, which made the Indians who rose up more and more resistant. The newly freed Charluas were not stupid, they knew that their troops were no match for the Spaniards, and their leaders had been carefully trained by the Military Intelligence Service for months, as they had been happily playing guerrilla warfare in the vast expanse of Uruguay.

It's not that difficult to crack this kind of battle.

But that would require a lot of troops and wealth, as well as material resources and time.

Summer is the harvest season, and after everything has been sown and grown in spring, it is at this time that it enters the ripening period, and grain and fruit are the main pillars of the Uruguayan economy. The great 'uprising' in Uruguay at this time created too much passivity for the Spaniards.

Regardless of when this new uprising was suppressed by the Spaniards, Uruguay's 'economy' this year is finished.

The flames of war soon raged in Uruguay.

The Spaniards' rough management of Uruguay gave the MIA too many opportunities to take advantage of, and large quantities of arms and explosives were unknowingly sent to the heart of Uruguay.

Although the Spaniards were disgusted with China, they were not disgusted with China's cheap, high-quality goods. In particular, the impact of the French Revolution deprived Spain, the traditional market for French goods, of its largest source of goods. Today, a large number of British goods have flowed into Spain, but in the Spanish colonies of the Americas, whether it is Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, or Uruguay, a certain proportion of the market share belongs to Chinese goods. It doesn't matter if the source of the latter is regular customs entry or smuggling.

The situation in Uruguay spiraled out of control with the dedicated support of the Military Intelligence Agency. The Charuya, who had learned guerrilla warfare, took full advantage of their familiarity with geography and began to wander the countryside with weapons issued by the Military Intelligence Bureau (a considerable number of which were cold weapons).

They would not easily attack the Spanish towns, but they would have an advantage over the country estates and plantations, or the Spanish freelancers. The weakened Spanish peasants could not withstand the attacks of the Charua, and the villages were filled with gunfire and shouts of murder every day, and there were numerous cases of robbery, murder and rape. Just as the Spaniards did with the Charua, the Charruas did with the Spaniards. Eventually, countless Spanish peasants had to take some of their food possessions and flee on horseback to the vicinity of Montevideo. At least here, those demonic Indian thugs would not dare to kill them.

In the vicinity of Montevideo, some Spanish nobles and large slave owners, large landowners, and large merchants also had the power to protect themselves.

Musket artillery was not so rare for them.

They also had a considerable number of manpower, and you must know that some of the big slave owners already had armies in their hands, and the big landowners and big merchants overlapped very much, and they already had a large number of hired workers in the farms and estates outside the city to produce wool, meat, leather, etc. With proper organization, those farms and estates can be transformed into fortresses.

The men of the manor were able to withstand the attacks of the Charuas with ease with their firepower.

It's just that such 'people' are only a minority after all. In this sudden wave of revolt in Charrua, a large number of white immigrants lacked sufficient self-preservation, most of them were killed, estates were destroyed, property was plundered, and the Spanish colonization in Uruguay was run with great effort, except for the area around Montevideo, except for the area along the Río de la Plata, many other places returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.

What particularly alarmed the Spaniards was that the Portuguese firmly denied that they were playing tricks behind their backs. So if it's not the Portuguese who are making trouble, who will it be?

The Spaniards were not stupid, and there were shrewd people in the colonial authorities.

Although the CIA is cautious in doing things, since it has done it, it will inevitably leave traces.

So soon after the war in Uruguay burned, the Spaniards locked on the mastermind behind the scenes - the Chinese.

This sent chills to the bones of all of Spanish America.

What are the Chinese going to do?

Are they going to provoke a new war between Central and Western America?

Taking advantage of the fact that Spain itself was caught up in the war against France, he once again attacked the Spanish American colonies?

The Spaniards could not afford not to be vigilant. In the previous wars between the West and Central America, their losses were too heavy. The little benefit that Carlos III carried out of the British could not make up for Spain's losses at all.

And now that the two sides have only been at peace for ten years, will the Chinese have to make up their minds about the Spanish American colonies again?

In contrast to this 'hypothesis', the ongoing war of resistance in Uruguay seems less important.

The wave of revolt, which had been confined to the south-east, has now spread to the central and western regions of Uruguay. Slaves from various Spanish settlements, villages, or farms were joined by desertions or rescued by the rebels. Not to mention the Indian tribes, which were joined by the Charuas on a large scale, as well as the Chana, Yaro, Boane and Gnoa.

Some of them had sided with the Spaniards in the previous war. However, after the end of the war, they did not get the Spaniards to look the other way.

A large number of Spanish civilians died, or they did not know what happened - no one was born, no one died, no body was killed.

The brutality of the rebels was comparable to that of the Spaniards, so much so that they did not spare even the white children, and under the guidance of the Military Intelligence Agency, the situation deteriorated step by step under the scrambling of the Spaniards.

However, the main energy of the Spaniards at this time had been attracted to China.

Of course, the bigwigs of the Spanish American colonial authorities knew how to send the news to Madrid as quickly as possible, but they also knew that Madrid could not easily withdraw from the anti-French alliance.

Because the war on the Italian side is not going on badly now.

There were enemies both inside and outside the Jacobin Revolutionary Government, and the First Anti-French Coalition saw not only the cloud of defeat, but the hope of victory. So Madrid would not easily withdraw from the war - that would completely offend them to many European powers, led by the British. So the Chinese are going to take the opportunity to start a war, can Mexico City still be saved?

"British, we need London's support."
