New Ming Empire mixed in America

Everyone in the conference room said nothing, and just watched quietly as the War Department officials questioned Castile.

Most people here understand that the Navy followed the US fleet to San Francisco.

The Navy used to stand behind the Liberal Party of Castile, and the Navy took the lion's share of every defense expenditure.

However, because the Army only had a small-scale conflict with Ecuador, and the other party's army was really not up to par, the Army has been a stepmother for these years.

But now half of the Peruvian navy was wiped out near San Francisco, and the remaining naval admirals refused to go to war. They believed that going to war now was simply **.

"We can ask Dai Ying to mediate this unjust war and let those Easterners go back!"

There was fatigue in Castile's voice. During this period, he had exhausted all his energy in dealing with the royalist counterattack.

Now that the Orientals are coming to retaliate again, this is simply adding insult to injury. So all he can think of now is to find someone else to mediate the war.

"Don't forget our close relationship with Britain, so those Easterners don't dare to attack Lima, otherwise they will be sanctioned by Britain."

Castile's analysis is very orderly, and the guano in the Chincha Islands of Peru is an important source of fertilizer for Europe.

And the guano underwriter Anthony Gibbs is also a big businessman from Daiying.

If Gibbs comes forward, those Easterners will definitely give the other side some face. As long as it takes a while, the army will gather over and cooperate with the complete defense facilities in the city of Lima to resist the Easterners' attack.

"If we need the help of the British vampire, we will have to pay a lot of concessions, and the Orientals will also need some compensation."

The person who stood up this time was the Minister of Finance of Peru. He waved the document in his hand and said:

"Our finances are in very bad shape today. Since 1859, the value of our imports has been four times the value of our exports, and we have only one export commodity, guano."

"Now that we have spent half a year's advance on guano, what can we do to appease those Easterners?"

Castile's face finally turned ugly this time.

Nowadays, Peruvian officials and upper-class people are very luxurious, and a large amount of money is used for enjoyment.

It seems that the current city of Lima has become a "European" metropolis.

Castilla has never been to London or Paris. In his impression, Lima is already the best city in Latin America. But now this city is in danger of being destroyed.

"Orientals may not really dare to do anything to us. I will call on all the people of Peru to resist those Orientals."

Castile said calmly.

There was nothing much to talk about in the following meeting. Needless to say, there were economic issues. The Peruvian government's revenue and expenditures were basically balanced by the income from guano.

Military matters are not suitable for discussion in this kind of meeting.

After everyone left, Castile, who was full of anger, slammed the cup in his hand to the ground.

After walking back and forth for a few times, he called his entourage: "Go and invite Mr. Anthony Gibbs here, and tell him that I have something very important to discuss with him."

Gibbs came to the presidential palace soon after receiving the news.

"I hope you can come forward to help mediate the misunderstanding between Peru and the Orientals. I can promise those Orientals that the price of coolies sold to them in the future will be reduced to one-third of the previous price."

As soon as they met, Castile revealed the purpose of inviting the other party.

"Those Orientals are nothing, but what can I gain from this incident?"

Gibbs has a very big appetite, and now the Peruvian government has begun to gradually expand its dividends in the guano trade, which is not what he wants to see.

Just when Castile was discussing how to deal with the apocalypse.

**Qi also inquired about one of his targets this time, the two American sail warships.

"It's really the Chincha Islands. Those two battleships seem to have experienced some kind of disaster. I'm not lying, they still purchase their food from us."

The captain of a merchant ship knelt on the deck and told what he saw and heard with tears in his eyes.

His merchant ship originally only purchased agricultural products in the town. But after the Easterners came, the town turned into ruins in a blink of an eye, and he became a prisoner.

"How do you know they went to Chincha Islands? Maybe they stopped in Lima."

**Qi stared at the captain closely, trying to see if he was lying.

"That place is the territory of the Gibbs family, the guano underwriters. No one dares to go wild there. It is absolutely safe to go there than Lima."

**When Qi heard it, he was convinced that what the other party said must be true.

After sailing for such a long time, even a warship needs to stop for maintenance and clean the bottom of the ship. What's more, the opponent is being approached by himself in the storm.

Looking at Lima, which is very close on the map, and then looking at the Chincha Islands, which are two days away, I am in trouble.

Finally, after estimating the time, **Qi decided to divide his troops.

Song He was asked to take an armored battleship and several armored gunboats to find trouble with the American warships, while ** Qi continued to Lima with the army and the remaining half of the navy.

He wanted to see what the big shots in Lima thought and why they chose to side with him.

If we had honestly sent the Chinese to San Francisco, wouldn't there be nothing like these things happening today?

It's good now that he actually needs to come in person to take the people home.

After making up their minds, the imperial royal fleet was divided into two. Except for the warships that Song He took away, the rest were still heading towards Lima.

Nowadays, the towns near Lima are deserted with no one in sight.

However, this did not delay the government's order to burn them all, including the nearby manors.

Looking at the Chinese who were almost all killed in retaliation, Li Qi set his sights on Lima, the capital of Peru.

Revenge? Who can't do it? Let's see who will be ruthless when the time comes.

"Full speed ahead, directly to the port of Callao in Lima!"

As the order to start was issued, the fleet moved toward Lima at full speed.

The Peruvian Navy stationed at the port of Callao soon received news that the Xinming Empire was coming at full speed.

Looking at the few small warships docked in the port, the naval commander almost turned his head with worry.

Last time, that idiot 'general' took away almost all the elites of the Peruvian Navy, and now he only has these pieced-together warships in his hands.

But what reassured him a little was the urgent expansion of the fort here at the port and the land line composed of conscripted townspeople and Indian soldiers.
