Tie Toutuo was stunned by what he had heard. That works too? Then wouldn't we be able to do whatever we want here? "
Tang Lei shook his head: "No, on the contrary, we have to be more low-key, because our enemies aren't only on the battlefield … The stronger we are, the easier it is for us to attract the attention of the West. Furthermore, the Chile does not completely trust us. "
"We are still useful to them now, so they praise us like pearls in their hand, but what about when the war is over? Haven't we seen enough of the game? "
Chen Yonglu nodded his head: That's right, so before Master Tang leaves, we have to agree that this battle will give rise to the might of our Taiping Army, and make them afraid that we definitely cannot treat this battle as our war, so don't put in too much effort!
Weng Derong laughed: If we really want to end this war as soon as possible, we, the 8000 man army, can go north by boat and attack the rear of Peru with lightning speed. It isn't impossible for soldiers to reach the capital, but do we need to work so hard?
"General Tie!" If we really end this war alone, how will the Chile arrange us? I'm afraid it will just be a sneak attack, a massacre! "
"Needless to say, half a month ago, Xi Lapizuo expressed his goodwill to us and said that as long as the war ended, he would give the Ikek area to us as an autonomous region. Heh heh, you're quite capable! But you were rejected on the spot, it's all because of our Old Ancestor's dirty tricks, and you're still pretending to be mysterious in front of us? "
War was humanity's best teacher. Although Chen Yonglu, Weng Derong and the others had not read many books, the experience gained from crawling and rolling on the battlefield for their entire lives was simply impossible to be found in books. In addition, the later stages of the Heavenly Kingdom's power struggles were serious. Assassinations, coups, civil wars … This caused these people to be filled with doubt from the bottom of their hearts.
"Pah …" The Ikek is giving us autonomy? Dream on! The Chile used the power of a nation to smite the land and gave it to us for free? Even a fool would know that it was a conspiracy, so I rejected it. At that time, Xi Lapizuo was still a little unhappy!
Saying that, Tang Lei suddenly spoke out, "Since that's the case, then our plan needs to be adjusted! "Please come with me …"
The four senior officials of Expeditionary forces gathered their heads together, and the surrounding Taiping Army soldiers automatically formed a circle to guard the tavern, as for the boss, he had long been thrown to the kitchen.
"Since the Chile is already on guard against us, then the ten thousand reinforcements behind us will not be able to go ashore so easily. Luckily, I have the foresight to have them temporarily stationed on Saint Felix Island. If they were to go ashore directly, it would really be bad news!"
"They are so guarded against the eight thousand Taiping Army s in front of them, now that there are ten thousand combat soldiers, do they still want to sleep? Not to mention that the Prime Minister previously provided ten thousand Arms and ammunition! "
"Stop keeping us in suspense. Just say it clearly!" Tie Toutuo urged.
"Yes, I suggest separating the soldiers and weapons and equipment. The reinforcements would go ashore empty-handed and the weapons and equipment would be sold to the Chile as goods! Don't be in such a hurry to hear me out, just now Brother Weng and Brother Chen have already explained the war situation here clearly, South America's three kingdoms are basically fighting amongst the poor, half of the soldiers in the army have a spear, and it's the original musket that was installed … "
"Those Indian Mercenaries s, their best weapon is the European crossbow. To deal with such an army, equipment is not the key point, as long as they are not weaker than them …"
"Our brothers came here from far away to help them fight. Since they have the obligation to provide us with weapons and equipment, then we might as well sell the guns and ammunition that the Prime Minister brought to the Chile!"
"We've already checked before. The arms trade here is completely under the control of the British. The weapons that these black-hearted merchants gave them were all of the lowest grade and they were extremely expensive … The most important thing is that these British only ask for gold, they don't want anything else, which adds a lot of pressure on the finances of the three countries … "
We do not need gold, we only require Chile to fill up our 20 scissor boat s with copper, silver and saltpeter ore. These resources are cheap in the Chile, but the profits from transporting them to the Ryukyu is more than 10 to 20 times the profits, this trip will be enough to buy another 40 thousand people's weapons and equipment …
"This way, not only will Chile get the cheap ammunition, Ryukyu will also get the tight mineral resources, and more importantly, it will greatly reduce the Chile's vigilance towards us … Three birds with one stone! What do the brothers think? "
The four of them looked at each other, "Okay, we'll listen to you!" This is indeed a good idea. Recently, Chile is planning a war against Ikek's port, so we will take a big portion of the points for all these weapons.
Just as the four of them were busy finalizing the details, the guard's voice came from outside the door: "Master, General Xi Lapizuo has already brought people here …" The four of them quickly changed into relaxed expressions and drank their wine while waiting for the commander of the Chile Army.
Xi Lapizuo was actually not of South America's lineage, he was actually a descendant of European immigrants. He had tall brown hair and a tall stature. Maybe because Taiping Army had won his respect in the bloody battle earlier, there was no such pride unique to westerner when they entered the room. Instead, they passionately extended their hands towards Tie Toutuo, "Welcome my distant friends, at the most critical moment in the battle, your assistance will definitely be recorded in the history books of Chile! God bless you! "
After a few simple greetings, the Chile's regular army and the Heavenly Kingdom's army encircled the small tavern. This time, the entire street's people did not dare to pass by, they looked at the God Killing brown army and the western regular army in fear, not knowing what crime the owner of this shabby tavern had committed.
But on the roof of a two-story hotel not far from the tavern, a well-dressed English gentleman was drinking pineapple juice, and behind him a charming native beauty was lying flirtatious on his shoulder.
"Chinese reinforcements? This useless Xi Lapizuo actually placed his chips on the Chinese people? "It seems that I have to give him another 10% increase in the next deal!"
"You want to end this quickly?" "Hehe, what kind of joke is this? Since you guys have decided so quickly, where can I go to earn money?"
Henry, the British arms merchant, stared at the meeting in the tavern with cold eyes. His own intelligence network had already reported to him that many eastern faced warriors had suddenly arrived on St. Felix's island. He also knew about the gathering of the Heaven veterans in Southeast Asia four months ago.
However, he did not expect these people to arrive so quickly!
