Chapter XXXVIII
Li Song suddenly returned to the base of Dahancheng.
"What? You say you can take Ecuador now? ”
When I heard the direction, this thing was too sudden, and there was no preparation here at the base!
Li Song, of course, knew what the direction was thinking.
"We overestimate our enemies, neither Venezuela nor Ecuador were the centers of Spanish colonial rule, where was the center of rule at that time? One is in Lima, the capital of Peru, and the other is in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, in the mountains. ”
"And their population is mainly concentrated in the coastal cities, which controls the central cities, basically controls the power of the country, and in 1821 the Bolivarian Revolutionary Army of South America only defeated the Spanish colonial army in Bogotá, Quito (the capital of Eritrea), Lima and other large cities, and the various countries rose up and declared their independence!"
"We haven't seen a single person in the vicinity of Shangbo City for half a day, and it won't work here to surround the city like the countryside in later generations!"
The direction is generally understood, all kinds of living materials here in South America come from big cities, and most of the rural areas are either backward Indian tribes, or native white plantations, or mines, with a single economy, and there is no self-sufficient self-circular economic system in the countryside.
Direction: "So what's your plan?" ”
Li Song waved his hand
"The soldiers are divided into three ways."
"All the way to the special operation, 800 people directly raided the capital of Ecuador Quito, controlled their parliament, city government agencies, attacked from Shangbo, commander Zhao Shi, supported 20,000 troops; All the way from the Tang City, 20,000 people captured Guayaquil, the largest port in the west of Ecuador, with the commander An Yun Li Yi; All the way from Dingzhou, 20,000 people, swept the province of Santiago and other eastern Ecuador, commander Xu Hui. ”
"Isn't it a bit risky?" Directions are worried about unexpected situations.
"Our marines on the Tang City side have been training for 120 days from August to December, while the nearly 120,000 regular soldiers and auxiliaries on the Luzon side have been trained for at least one and a half years and more than 500 days, and they can go to the battlefield. There are 20,000 in Chinatown, 50,000 in the base, 5,000 in Shangbo City, 5,000 in Dingzhou, 80,000 in Luzon, and our field force is already 160,000, and the tigers should be out of the cage! ”
Li Song insisted.
"And what are you going to do yourself?"
Li Song smiled
"Let's go to Dingzhou, which will be our construction center in the future. Xiaohui talks about me every day! ”

Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is not only a historical cultural city, but also a famous climate city, and its annual temperature difference is the world's capital city in the mountains, with an altitude of 2,800 meters, making it the second highest capital in the world.
We know that higher altitudes are generally colder, which is why many high mountain tops are covered with snow. However, visitors to Quito do not feel the cold, although they also see the snow covering the top and the clouds covering the fog.
On the contrary, as soon as you set foot on the land of Quito, you will be greeted by the breath of spring. It turns out that the city of Quito is close to the equator, only 27 kilometers from the equator, and is geographically tropical. With tropical heat waves and the icy snow on the top of the mountains, the combination of hot and cold forms the unique climatic characteristics of this tropical city of Quito: it is extremely warm all year round, as if it is a city in spring, and people do not feel that there is summer, autumn and winter.
Although Quito is the city with the smallest annual temperature difference, it has a large daily temperature difference and sunny daytime. The sun is abundant, and at night a cold wind blows. Not only that, but Quito has a climate that is somewhat similar to London, England, and that is that the weather is unpredictable and unpredictable. The biggest manifestation of this is that a quarter of an hour before the sky was clear and blue, and after a quarter of an hour it turned into dark clouds, followed by heavy rain. Such rapid weather changes are extremely uncomfortable for many newcomers. However, the Quito people, who have lived here for a long time, have already had a coping strategy: whether it is sunny or rainy, umbrellas and raincoats must be carried with them.
Quito has been a metropolis since ancient times, thanks to its pleasant climate that is like spring all year round. Rulers were very fond of Quito, which has historically been the capital of several generations of Ecuadorian dynasties.

The old city of Quito was destroyed in the early 16th century, when the Spanish colonizers attacked Quito, and the Inca generals who defended the city destroyed the old city with the attitude of "it is better to break the jade than to destroy it"^ The Quito that people see today was built on the ruins of the ancient city, and there are still 87 churches in the city, which are testimonies of Quito's long history.

The 30-metre-high equatorial monument is made of granite cubes and is surrounded by the names of scientists who have visited the monument. The top of the monument is supported by a 4.5-meter-diameter model of the earth cast in bronze. There is a white line symbolizing the equator on the earth model, which extends along the monument and the monument base to the square. In front of the monument, there is a long passage made of stone.
On both sides of the passage stand a number of stone sculptures. Visitors to Quito are reminded of the mysterious, "solemn" stone path in front of the Equatorial Monument and to take photos with their feet on both sides of the white line, which symbolizes the equator. Visitors can also receive a certificate issued by the administration certifying that they have visited the dividing line between the northern and southern hemispheres on a certain day of the year.
