The general definitely doesn't understand. He needs a translator here.
If a translator told him, the meaning of this sentence is very simple - if you can come and rob me, I can rob you.
This is what justice in the world is, and it is also justice in the world.

Bio Bio River!
It's like a line. For white people, north of this line is the civilized world, and south of this line is the barbaric land.
Barbarism needs to be conquered and civilized. They never thought that one day barbarism would fight back against the civilized world.
On the Bio Bio River, there is a checkpoint.
A European-style stone arch bridge connects two worlds - civilization on one side and barbarism on the other. General Rodriguez crossed this bridge and started his conquest.
However, the news that General Rodriguez's entire army was annihilated also spread from here!
completely annihilated!
Although the news of the defeat was so shocking, Lieutenant Martin, who was guarding the bridgehead, never considered that the Mapuche would attack here one day.
But in the past two days, a steady stream of refugees brought him news that shocked him to the extreme - the Mapuche people were attacking north!
The Mapuche are coming!
They are heading towards the Bio Bio River!
"We'll stop them here!"
As a defender, Lieutenant Martin looked proudly at his fortress - a stone fortress, five meters high, with firing crenellations and gun emplacements on the fortress wall, which was enough to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Mapuche people!
There's no way they can get through here!
Soon, September 1st.
The leading Mapuche cavalry arrived, and like all Mapuche raids, they burned the deserted farmstead and retreated empty-handed.
The farmers have withdrawn to the fortress. This is the reason why they usually pay taxes and other taxes to the fortress in exchange for the protection of the army.
That afternoon, more and more Mapuche people appeared in his sight, just as Lieutenant Martin shouted arrogantly.
"Boys, let the damn Indians enjoy the baptism of the civilized world!"
Before he could finish his words, he was horrified to see artillery appearing in the distance - the Mapuche actually had cannons, more than twenty cannons!
"Damn it! It must be the cannon they captured from the general."
Lieutenant Martin guessed correctly. These bronze cannons were indeed seized from General Rodriguez. This general was simply the captain of the transportation brigade. After the flood receded, the Mapuche people picked up tens of thousands of muskets.
and twenty-six cannons.
Although there was a shortage of gunpowder, it is certain that the Mapuche people indeed replaced their shotguns with cannons. No, they should have replaced spears with guns.
It's just that they don't know how to use it.
"Your Majesty, this fortress is easy to conquer!"
Putting down the telescope, the European next to Zhu Xianhai said rather arrogantly.
"With only 150 shellings, I can destroy this fortress. I guarantee that it can be captured within two days."
"Major, two days is really a waste of time. There is a saying in China that soldiers are valuable and quick!"
Putting the telescope away, Zhu Xianhai said.
"Pull my Armstrong cannon over here!"
Then, he turned around and said.
"Major, times have changed!"
"Times have changed?"
Bellucci looked at the young man next to him in surprise.
Surprised, he did feel the changes of the times. Who would have thought that the guest in his home would actually become the king of the Mapuche people?
Zhu Xianhai was only slightly surprised by Bellucci's surprise.
In the simulator, Zhu Xianhai once again met Major Bellucci. As a prisoner, he was the "pet" of the Mapuche people. He was even pulled out by the chief of the Golden Eagle tribe as a symbol of his "ability to conquer and fight" - they
Captured an Argentine major and annihilated more than 300 Argentine soldiers.
Seeing an old acquaintance, Zhu Xianhai naturally kept him and gave him freedom. Although the major had not "naturalized the Mapuche people", he did not mind helping him train the Mapuche people and give him to the Chilean people.
Adding some trouble is definitely politically correct for Argentinians.
This was the case in the simulator, and it is also the case now. Of course, Zhu Xianhai also promised to unite their father and daughter.
There was no need to wait until after the war - the Bellucci sisters, who had been waiting in Viedma for several months without making any progress, finally embarked on their adventurous journey to find their father.
Soon, they will meet.
In fact, Zhu Xianhai needed Bellucci, a cavalry major, to train the Mapuche cavalry. For Nanhua, having such a cavalry unit was a powerful supplement in itself, especially when human resources were insufficient.
Moreover, for this expedition, he really needed the help of some white officers, including Major Bellucci, and he even surrendered several Chilean officers. Chile in these years was also a country of immigrants. For those from Bavaria,
For the immigration officers in Prussia and other places, they had no intention of sacrificing their lives for Chile.
Thanks to General Rodriguez, he sent him a staff - a staff composed of twenty-six European officers.
There is even a group of more than 2,000 mercenaries who were previously surrendered soldiers from Chile. Among them are Europeans, Indians, and mixed-races. But what is certain is that they are all mercenaries who fight for wages.
Between death and salary, they definitely choose the latter.
"Okay, gentlemen, the show begins!"
Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"The lieutenant colonel is looking at you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
Lieutenant Colonel Heisenberg said respectfully.
He is an artillery officer who graduated from the Bavarian Military School. His surrender gave Zhu Xianhai an artilleryman in the true sense. Of course, the training now is just the beginning.
"Chief Sebad, wait a moment, after the lieutenant colonel blasts away the compound, the rest will be left to you."
Zhu Xianhai had no idea of sending troops to attack the fortress. Artillery bombardment, infantry attack...it could be attacked, but there would be casualties.
Chinese people have precious money and cannot afford to lose it.
Let's leave it to the Mapuche people to attack the enemy!
"Don't worry, sir, as long as you can open the magic castle, the remaining Chileans will be left to us!"
Chief Sebad's eyes were filled with the desire for battle, and he eagerly wanted to show the power of the Golden Eagle in front of the king.
This is a good opportunity!
Suddenly, the sound of cannons sounded.
The gunfire of the Armstrong cannon is completely different from that of the forward-loading smoothbore cannon. It is sharp and violent. There is no copper-rubbing sound of the shell hitting the barrel, only a sharp sound.
Amidst the deafening sound of the cannon, the shells roared towards the fortress at the bridgehead. The moment the shell hit the fortress, a violent explosion occurred. In the sound of the explosion, the stone wall of the fortress was blasted through.
When the smoke cleared, not only Sebad and others were dumbfounded, but also the officers who had just "surrendered"...
This cannon is so powerful!
While in shock, an idea came to their minds.
Now, times have really changed!
Everyone's astonishment had long been expected by Zhu Xianhai. This was the power of the new explosives. In front of the cannons loaded with the new explosives, these simple fortresses were simply paper lanterns, which were just for fun!
