Chapter 117 I Have Buffett (Third update, please subscribe)
Then let the war continue!
Zhu Xianhai clearly remembers how surprised he was when Maria made this suggestion in the simulator.
Because her suggestion was even ahead of its time.
Although Maria was a little disappointed by Zhu Xianhai's calmness, she still spoke when she saw that he was listening to her advice.
"Your Majesty, why can't you support a Chilean and let Chile itself fall into a long civil war?"
"The long civil war..."
Zhu Xianhai nodded.
“It’s a proxy war.”
It is different from a proxy war. To put it bluntly, it is to use an ambitious person who wants to seize power to start Chile's own civil war.
Chile, embroiled in a civil war, will be unable to take into account the problems of Araucanía, and South China can also withdraw from it.
It is not a complete withdrawal. In the next few years, South China will support the opposition through transfusions.
One day, when South China becomes strong enough to annex Chile, the leader of the opposition will suddenly become Chile's "Mr. Wang".
It's the perfect solution.
Zhu Xianhai said after Maria introduced the background of "Mr. Wang".
"Seems like a good candidate. Are you sure he will cooperate with us?"
"This is inevitable. After all, two years ago, after suppressing his rebellion, Monte confiscated his copper mines. He has been in exile in Argentina. As long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely devote himself to the "just cause."
justice?
What is justice?
Justice can be self-proclaimed, it is just the rhetoric of the victor.
"If your Majesty agrees, I can send him a telegram. I believe he will be in Chillán in a month at most."
He will come faster!
Zhu Xianhai said secretly in his heart.
That big capitalist!
During the two years of exile, he dreamed of returning to Chile and taking back his copper mines and smelters. All he needed was an opportunity.
Give him this opportunity!
As for patriotism... capitalists!
If we hang the street lamps one by one, there will definitely be some who are wrongly accused. If we hang every other lamp, there will definitely be some who slip through the net.
For the sake of profit, they will not hesitate to associate with the devil.
It’s not shameful to earn money while kneeling!
"In that case, please!"
Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"Thank you, your majesty, my brother then."
"You can go to the prison and take him home later. Remember, let him..."
"Your Majesty, Chillán's new government needs officials. I believe Bernardo will play a role in the new government!"
A smart woman doesn't need too many words. Zhu Xianhai said as he looked at the exquisite Maria.
"Maria."
"Um?"
"Can I invite you to dinner?"
Fighting and picking up girls, the best of both worlds!
It's not easy to find a woman as talented and beautiful as Maria, and...
Faced with his invitation, Maria did not agree, but did not refuse either. Instead, she looked at him with her blue eyes and asked.
"Aren't you curious about why I betrayed Chile?"
"You'll tell me when you want to."
"My grandfather founded this country, but was expelled by an ambitious man. He never returned here in his entire life..."
Maria smiled and said.
"Perhaps, my grandfather has always loved this country, but women...will bear grudges!"
After saying that, she placed her hands on the table and looked directly at Zhu Xianhai.
"Your Majesty, would you dare to pursue a woman like me who is so cruel and even betrayed her country?"
Just as directly as I remembered!
This woman!
Quite interesting!
Zhu Xianhai stood up and said with a smile.
"Congratulations, you now have a new homeland!"
…
There was no need to continue the war, the next step was to plunge the Chileans into their own civil war!
After this war, many people will have a new homeland, the Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia?
possible.
But on Zhu Xianhai's map, this country does not exist. He only has two regions - Araucanía in Shanxi and Patagonia in Shandong, and Nanhua, which owns the entire Pampas.
The birth of a country often begins with geographical naming. The Andes Mountains are a boundary, Araucanía is the Shanxi of South China, and Patagonia is the Shandong of South China. It is simple and clear, and full of Chinese characteristics.
Start large-scale infrastructure construction.
In fact, the Chilean conquest of Araucanía was also centered on building fortresses and railways. In the past decade, the Chileans have even sent surveyors to conduct geological surveys of Araucanía and even planned railway routes.
"This railway runs from Saavedra Bay all the way to Araucanía. If the railway line continues eastward, it can cross the Andes Mountains and reach Nanhua."
Staring at the map left by the Chileans, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but plan the railway on the map with a pencil. Compared with the railway line from north to south along the central mountains that the Chileans valued, he valued the east-west railway more.
Build a railway to connect Nanhua with Araucanía!
This was an amazing plan in 1861. Even in the United States, the Pacific Railway was still at the stage of some people.
"We can build a city in Saavedra Bay, and then build a railway all the way east. In the future, our immigrants will live along the railway line in a city with the train station as the core!"
In Zhu Xianhai's plan, unlike in the Pampas in Shandong, in Araucanía, immigrants from China would not need to compete with the Mapuche for land.
"In the future, we will implement large-scale immigration in the Araucanía region of Shanxi, centered on operating railways, to expand our influence in Shanxi. This will be the core of our policy in this region."
Zhu Xianhai did not hide his plan in front of Sun Hu and staff officers such as Heisenberg and Bellucci.
"Your Majesty, building such a railway is indeed beneficial to your rule, but you must know that building such a railway requires not only a large amount of manpower, but also a large amount of funds! It may require tens of millions of pesos."
Major Stein said directly that the geological maps they seized in Chillán were confiscated at his suggestion. As a military engineering expert, he had been engaged in geological surveying and road construction projects.
"I know that there is no need to worry about manpower. In the next few months, at least 30,000 workers will come here. They are the best workers,"
The workers that Zhu Xianhai mentioned were naturally the Chinese workers. Since it had been decided to let the Chileans engage in a civil war, there was no need to expand the army on a large scale. They could be organized into engineering corps to build railways. If a war broke out, they could also be deployed to fight at any time, killing two birds with one stone.
"As for the money...I'll find a way."
Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"If everything goes well, the money should be in your account soon!"
“Your Majesty, that’s tens of millions of pesos!”
Major Stein reminded.
"I know, this amount of money is not small, but it's not much either..."
Zhu Xianhai smiled mysteriously and said with a smug smile.
"Fortunately, I have Buffett!"
