Chapter 1318 The Empire is the Hope of Mankind (First Update, Please Subscribe)

Compared to the British Empire, Emperor Zhu has a lot of cards in his house of cards.

From Boer to Irish to Boxer…

As the cards are played one by one, what are they playing for?

It was the lifeblood of the British Empire that was at stake.

Why are there so many cards to play?

To put it bluntly, the core is "strategy is the fault of the country being planned". Britain itself has too many problems, waiting for Emperor Zhu to play cards. In fact, even if Emperor Zhu does not play, there will be other countries to play those cards in the future. It depends on whether they can grasp which cards.

After these cards were played, the weakened party might even realize it later.

By the time they realize the seriousness of the problem, it may be too late.

In this imperial card game, what kind of cards does each party have in their hands, and when will they play what kind of cards?

I'm afraid only God knows.

But for many ordinary people, they often become a card in the Empire Chess and Card House involuntarily.

For Chavez, what was his greatest feeling during his years studying in Ming Dynasty?

Of course, it is the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty. For Chavez, he has always had a hope deep in his heart that one day, the Venezuelan people will be able to live as happily as the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"This is Peru, Peru under the rule of the Ming Dynasty."

In Lima, walking through the streets of Lima, what did Chavez see?

There were high-rise buildings lined up one after another, neon billboards with bright lights and nightlife, and cars of various brands running on the wide streets. It was very similar to many of the big cities in the Ming Dynasty that Chavez had seen.

However, it is still different from the cities under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. There are a large number of European-style buildings on both sides of the streets in Lima, which are the remnants of the old era.

Such a prosperous scene is not limited to the main urban area. In the new towns in the western district, there are the largest number of Chinese. The new towns are often where Chinese people live and are also the most prosperous areas in Lima. The buildings there are more modern and of course more prosperous. There are not only a large number of foreign immigrants, but also satellite towns extending to the suburbs.

Of course, this does not mean that the old city is in decline. In fact, with the development of the city, many dilapidated slums and slums in Lima have been demolished, and the working people at the bottom of society who lived in dark and damp houses have moved into bright new apartments. Although most of the resettlement apartments are small houses with three bedrooms and one living room of 60 to 70 square meters, they are still a bit crowded for families with larger populations. However, being able to live in such a bright and tidy house is enough for them to be grateful.

"The Empire's rule has changed everyone's life!"

Even as an outsider, Chavez could feel the change.

"You see, my friend, change . . . "

Walking on the street, Marquez cast his eyes on the passers-by and said in an envious tone,

"The changes can be felt in each of them. Look, their faces are filled with happiness and hope, which we can't see in Colombia or Venezuela. Can you imagine? This is an occupied area..."

Márquez said with some sarcasm when referring to the occupation:

"Yes, Peru is still an occupied area - here... even until now, it is not the territory of the empire. Why not? Because the empire has not officially announced its annexation. Do you know why the Ming Dynasty is unwilling to annex it directly? Because annexation requires a price, such as a 10-hour work system, pension insurance and other benefits. All of this means that the empire needs to bear a lot of expenses. But even as an occupied area of ​​the empire, the people here live better than before!"

Marquez continued in a sarcastic tone.

"You can imagine that the empire, as an occupier, treated the Peruvians better than the Peruvians themselves. The same was true in the countryside, where millions of Peruvians were given land. For the first time, they became truly free - they owned their own land and houses, rather than being tenants of some lord."

"I know, I know all this,"

Chavez said in a somewhat excited tone.

"What do people say? This is the freedom brought by the empire. From Peru to Bolivia, all the farmers, workers, and even the merchants in the city say that this is the freedom brought by the empire. The empire was the conqueror who occupied these countries, but what is the saddest thing? Under the occupation of the empire, people got real freedom. I mean real freedom, not the freedom that the caudillos kept saying after independence - the freedom given to us."

"Their freedom is probably their personal freedom and has nothing to do with us...or ordinary South American people."

"How could it be related? What kind of life do the people under the rule of those masters lead? Almost all the farmers are their tenants. They not only rent the masters' land, but also depend on the masters' estates like slaves. Even the businessmen seem to be free, but they have to endure the blackmail and extortion of the masters. Everyone... I mean in various countries in South America..."

Chavez said with emphasis.

"Everyone is a slave to the master until..."

Chavez pointed his finger into the distance, toward the fluttering imperial flag, and said.

"It was not until the Empire conquered this place that people truly gained freedom and liberation... Yes, that's right, liberation!"

Chavez spoke in Chinese.

"The Empire liberated this land, broke the chains of slavery, and granted freedom to the people of this land."

Marquez nodded and said.

"What's the most ironic thing? Those gentlemen who are in exile in Europe and the United States are actually calling on the people to resist the rule of the empire for the freedom of Peru or Chile!"

"Haha, what a bunch of childish people!"

Chavez laughed.

"They are inciting resistance, but what about the people living here? They even wish they could become part of the empire right now. After all, joining the empire will further change their lives. A ten-hour workday, pensions, medical insurance, etc., are all what people desire..."

"They will one day be part of the Empire,"

Marquez said.

"But what about us? What should we do?"

There was a certain helplessness in Chavez's tone, and of course it was also filled with a certain desire. He longed to be able to change the world.

"We can always find a way. I... I think maybe one day we can become a part of the Empire."

Becoming a member of the empire and being incorporated into the empire is what these progressive young people desire. Because for them, what they see and hear is the various ways that the powerful destroy the people of their country. Since their country's independence, what have the presidents who have been in power done? In addition to fighting for power and oppressing the people, what have they done?

But the daimyo were different. In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty was like a beacon of humanity, illuminating the entire South America, and they believed that when they became part of the empire, everyone could live a happy life.

The Empire is the beacon of mankind and the hope of mankind.
