Chapter 1321: The Road to Liberation of South America (Second update, please subscribe)

Life is always about making choices.

Ordinary people need to make choices, and Emperor Zhu also needs to make a choice.

"Kill the eagle and eat its meat" is an option.

Of course, continued expansion is also a must.

After receiving the action plan submitted by the Investigation Department, Emperor Zhu was very appreciative of the "internal solution" planned by the Investigation Department.

After all, in another world, superpowers like the United States and the Soviet Union are always subverting small countries.

Rather than directly occupying small countries, both sides prefer to control them through means such as supporting coups.

Of course, they have also taken direct action. One was stuck in the quagmire of Vietnam, and its economy continued to decline for more than a decade. The other was stuck in the quagmire of Afghanistan and was eventually finished.

Of course, the reason why the two wars almost buried the two superpowers was, to put it bluntly, the strong support of the great powers behind them. Of course, there is no such great power support now, but it does not prevent Emperor Zhu from using Ecuador as an experiment.

Small countries don't have any national sovereignty, so it's their honor to be used!

"In other words, the local people are currently 'providing food and drink to welcome the royal army', just hoping that we will pass through?"

Emperor Zhu certainly did not agree with the confidence of the Investigation Department. Of course, he did not deny that the vast majority of people in Latin American countries at that time did not have a sense of national identity.

What is their view of the country?

The land they cultivate belongs to the landlords, the houses they live in also belong to the landlords, and even their fellow citizens are second class... and that's if they are white. If they are mixed-race Europeans and Indians, they will at least be third-class citizens. If they are Indians, they will have to go further back. That's right, fourth-class citizens.

Such a country?

Apart from the warlords and big landowners, as for the ordinary people who work like their slaves, they... don't even care about this country.

After all, South Americans are either immigrants or Indians who were colonized, and most of them really don't know what a country is.

"At least a good portion of it."

Qian Zizhuang said.

"As long as 30% of the people stand on our side and 30% of the people go along with it, then our action will be successful. Even if the rest of the people resist, it will not affect the overall situation."

In response, Emperor Zhu nodded.

"Yes, the key is to have some people supporting us. But can we succeed with such a small number of people? They can complete all the tasks independently."

"It's not a big problem. After all, the Ecuadorian army is poorly trained and poorly equipped. It shouldn't be a problem to take over the presidential palace."

Emperor Zhu thought for a moment and said,

"It is one thing to attack and seize the presidential palace, and it is another to defend it. Destroying the presidential palace, arresting or killing the president will only create a vacuum on the throne of power. Someone must go in and take over the power. Our people...at most can only assist, and they may not even show up at dawn, so who will take over?"

Qian Zizhuang nodded again.

"We're considering one."

Qian Zizhuang said cautiously.

"Is he in the country, or somewhere else?"

"Currently in Ming, he can be called a 'Mingist'. In the past few years, he has been claiming that for the welfare of the Ecuadorian people, Ecuador should be incorporated into Ming like Paraguay."

"Oh, that's not bad. We can take him back and have him issue a statement saying that he led the coup and took over the country."

Emperor Zhu thought for a moment and added.

"But we have to control him and make sure we have control over Ecuador."

"Your Majesty, if he has any ulterior motives..."

Qian Zizhuang said coldly.

"That's easy. Get rid of him and replace him with someone who's obedient."

…

"The future of Ecuador and the entire America lies in the empire!"

"The current situation where the warlords, big landowners and churches in South American countries control land, wealth and power cannot be destroyed without the iron fist of the empire..."

Although he did not raise his voice, in the past few years, Uchis, a former university professor who was exiled in the Ming Dynasty, has definitely become a celebrity in South America. His fame is not just because of these thought-provoking words.

More importantly, it is a propaganda tool - he was a special guest of "Voice of America" ​​and was interviewed on the radio many times. In the interviews, he recounted the devastation of the "Caudillo System" on South American countries and their exploitation of the people.

What about the extravagance and greed of the caudillos and the miserable lives of the people.

Of course, while recounting all this, he also pointed out the future of the American countries - the future lies in the Ming Dynasty. The future lies in the empire.

If the American people want liberation, they must rely on the rescue of the empire. Only the empire can bring them freedom and liberation, and more importantly, a happy life.

Because of this, he was even called a "traitor" in Ecuador and some other countries. However, in the eyes of most Ecuadorian students studying abroad, he is a true patriot.

Even though he has two labels on him, sometimes, even if you want to sell it, you have to have a chance.

Now...the opportunity has come!

In fact, Uchis has been in contact with the Investigation Department since he went into exile in Ming Dynasty. After all, a guy like him is definitely a rare commodity.

With just a few simple communications, Uchis immediately understood that this was an opportunity.

Of course, this is definitely not an opportunity to get rich and famous. He is a man who is wholeheartedly trying to save the people of Ecuador. How could he do this for a few Ming Yuan coins?

He left.

When he closed the door, Uchis raised his coffee cup in a toast.

"Goodbye, Mr. Ding."

Uchis whispered, his expression full of pride.

He was thankful more than once because he met the affable and talkative Mr. Ding on his way from Ecuador to Ming Dynasty. During a long conversation all night, Mr. Ding revealed his identity, and the exiled Uchis accepted his help without hesitation.

“This is for the people of Ecuador!”

Uchis had talked to himself and his students countless times that only under the rule of the empire could the Ecuadorians live a happy and peaceful life.

Right now, a new opportunity is before him, an opportunity he has longed for. For Uchis, all he has to consider is how to give a speech when he succeeds, and of course, how to gain support from all walks of life.

When Mr. Ding left, a brown kraft paper bag was placed on his desk, containing 100 100-yuan bills.

What is this money?

It's his activity funds.

After counting the money and stuffing it into the drawer, Uchis muttered to himself.

"It is finally time to liberate the people of Ecuador..."
