New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 216 Eat this thing slowly

The next day, Chilean diplomats rushed over early to apologize to Mr. Qi.

"You should know that Chile has a lot of immigrants from various countries, so it is inevitable that there will be some people who are close to the country of origin."

**Qi nodded, which was why he sent the envoy to the Chilean diplomat.

Although the European immigrants of this era had relatively few feelings of home and country, they still had some.

"We in Chile firmly agree with your handling of those war criminals!"

The Chilean diplomat spoke very firmly, joking, how could he let that fool disrupt Chile's plan to acquire the capital of Peru.

"Dear His Majesty the Emperor of the Xinming Empire, I wonder if we can purchase some weapons from your weapons company. Those anti-tank cannons are very suitable."

After the Chilean diplomat finished speaking, he looked at Qi Qi nervously, fearing that he might misunderstand Chile because of that idiot yesterday.

According to the captains who went to San Francisco to transport immigrants, the Xinming Empire had so many artillery pieces that they were placed on the docks for use as special salutes.

Those are all brand-new Japanese artillery. If Chile can get some of them, not to mention frightening the surrounding countries, even Spain's domestic influence can be completely eradicated.

Chile is still in the period when the Liberal Party has just taken power, and their government has begun to weaken the power of Catholicism and vigorously develop the economy.

And because the Communist Party became stronger with the support of liberal landowners and mining capitalists, these people attach great importance to interests.

However, if British and American capital further invades and controls the railways and major production sectors, it is estimated that Chile will have to draw a clear line with the New Ming Empire.

The three-step strategy of big European countries is generally like this, first a large number of immigrants, then capital entry, and finally relying on subtlety to control the country.

When he heard that Chile wanted to buy a gun, Qi Qi very generously agreed to the other party's purchase request.

Those Japanese artillery placed on the San Francisco pier were not only used as salutes, they were also advertisements for the New Ming Empire to promote business.

The imitation steel 6-pounder guns and 12-pounder guns are the signature products of the Xinming Empire. They are now sold not only to the North and the South in the east, but also to some in Mexico.

And these countries in Latin America (South America) have a lot of demand.

For example, the nine-province federation of Colombia and Bolivia each purchased a batch of artillery. Even poor Ecuador purchased dozens of them.

Therefore, the reason why Chile wants to buy artillery is very simple, that is, if the enemy has it, I must have it, and if the ally has it, I must have it, otherwise Chile will definitely suffer after the enemy leaves.

Unlike those Indians in Bolivia who paid their bills with gold, Chile wanted to pay their bills with copper mines.

After all, Chile's copper reserves are still very rich. If you use copper mines to pay your bills, you can reduce a lot of financial pressure.

Chile is not only purchasing artillery, they also need other livelihood products urgently, such as various agricultural tools and even wheelbarrows, which need to be purchased from the New Republic of China Empire.

By the time all these trivial matters were settled, it was already several days later, and it was almost time for the Xinming Royal Fleet to set off.

The fleet carrying Chilean soldiers has appeared at Callao port in Lima, waiting to be delivered to the National Defense Forces.

As for the Peruvian defenders in the bastion fortress, neither side paid much attention.

In fact, if Jiang Qi had not refused to surrender, the defenders who came to the port to fish for food with white flags might have tied themselves up and ran out of the fortress.

Seeing those well-equipped National Defense Force soldiers walking past neatly in front of them, the Chilean commander looked solemn.

Chile's view of the Xinming Empire has always been that the navy was relatively strong but the army was average. But in his opinion, this view was too one-sided.

Just because the Oriental army failed to capture the American navy, we cannot deny their battle. If it were the Chilean army, they might not even be able to defeat the American navy.

It's a pity that there are only a few sane people in Chile like him. Others either blindly praise the power of the Xin Ming Empire, or they desperately belittle everything about the Xin Ming Empire except the navy.

After sighing, the officer decided to carry out the display plan formulated by his superiors. He had no choice but to say that he was just a frontline commander, while his superiors were high-level officials in Chile.

The so-called display means to let the Chilean Army show its momentum. It is best to let the Eastern Army suffer a loss and make them pay more attention to Chile.

Because the military people believed that the diplomats were too weak when facing the Xinming Empire, even half of the benefits they gained with their lives were divided.

So this time the military deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to show off the prowess of the Chilean Army.

Although this method of creating a little friction is a bit stupid, for the sake of the military's face, we can't really have a battle with the Xinming Empire.

"Sir, do we really want to cause some friction with those Orientals?"

A junior officer came to the commander and asked quietly:

"Look at the muscles on those Oriental soldiers, and then look at the equipment on the other side. I think if there is friction, we will basically be humiliating ourselves."

The commander patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Stop complaining. This mission was not issued by me. Even if you complain, you should complain to the big shots in Congress."

"Go ahead and carry out the tasks assigned above. If the situation becomes serious, I will step in to stop it."

After saying that, the commander left the place. If a conflict did occur later, it would be difficult to handle it if he was present.

After receiving the order, the Chilean officer returned to his team with an awkward look on his face.

"You all know the mission this time, and you are all elites selected from each company, so this time you must show the momentum of the Chilean Army and set off!"

After hearing the order, these Chilean soldiers turned their attention to the National Defense Force soldiers who were getting on the boat in a team.

"You can't take this away, these things belong to us in Chile now!"

A Chilean soldier saw several National Defense Force soldiers driving a carriage toward the coast, so he quickly chased them and prepared to provoke them.

They are not stupid. There are too many National Defense Force soldiers at the dock. What if they are looking for trouble and get beaten up?

"These are the things you are talking about?" the squad leader of the National Defense Force asked with a strange expression, pointing to the big wooden barrel on the carriage.

The Chilean soldiers who gathered around smelled the aroma of food in the big wooden barrel and swallowed unconsciously.

"Yes, these are the foods, and now they belong to us in Chile."

The translator who was responsible for communicating with the National Defense Forces said something loudly, and then asked the soldiers to jump on the carriage and start moving.

Looking at the excited Chilean soldiers carrying large wooden barrels, the squad leader of the National Defense Forces who led the team muttered:

"Damn it, I used to eat whatever they wanted, but since I came to our Xinming Empire, I have become picky about food."

Looking at the excited Chilean soldiers, the logistics officer who came with the car felt that this was a good opportunity to improve the soldiers' impression of the canteen. So he said:

"You still complain all day long that the food in the canteen is pig food. Now look at how delicious these foreign devils eat, how dare you say that the food in the canteen is not delicious?"

The squad leader, who was sprayed with saliva by the logistics staff, did not refute. He looked at the Chilean soldiers who couldn't wait to open the big wooden barrel and ate it with their hands. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.

"Squad leader, is our swill really that delicious?"

A soldier couldn't help but ask his squad leader.

"Fart, could you have eaten such swill before when you were in Qing Dynasty?"

Before the squad leader had time to speak, the logistician jumped out again and shouted:

"I think you've just had too many good times and you're used to it!"

"Think about the past when we were in Pseudo-Qing Dynasty. I wasn't afraid of your jokes. During the Chinese New Year in our family, if everyone could share a few dumplings, it would be a good year."

After finishing speaking, he sighed and looked at the Chilean soldiers who were gobbling up the food with relief.

They were right, this carriage was filled with swill from the canteen.

Although it was swill, it was filled with cans and other food residues left over by soldiers who were unwilling to eat them, mixed with the waste water left over from washing pots and washing tableware.

The logistics officer found the soldier who could speak Chinese and said kindly:

"You guys eat slowly, there are a few cars behind you, I'll let them all stay for you later..."
