"I really didn't expect that she would actually go to that kind of place? Maybe it's not just her!"
"Not herself?"
"Yes, Felix, after Urquiza defeated Rosas in 1852, Count Diego, like many of Rosas's supporters, was liquidated. Those who did not escape almost all died in Urquiza.
At the gunpoint of Kisa, all the state-owned land they occupied was also confiscated. Elizabeth not only lost her husband, but also lost all her property. Now, she just wants to regain the glory of yesterday, but Elizabeth has obviously forgotten one thing
——It is no longer sixty years ago. Those lands may belong to the Indians, but they will eventually belong to Argentina."
Once upon a time, didn't those large Argentinian farmers use similar methods to establish their farms on Indian land?
But now... those lands are all state-owned lands, including of course the Pampas and Patagonia plateaus under the control of the Mapuche people.
"This company may be just an attempt by a few ambitious adventurers, or a few downtrodden old nobles. They thought they could recreate the glory of the past. They thought they could occupy a piece of land and rebuild a property that belonged to them.
Cities want to regain their power, but in fact, they don’t even know that times have changed.”
After thinking about it, Mitre said.
"There is no need to consider them at all right now. Urquiza's enemies are our friends. Now, the most important thing is to defeat Urquiza. As for the American Company, let them cultivate land there for the time being. Wait until
After defeating Urquiza, then consider how to treat them..."
In fact, for the Argentine government, they do not mind such "civilian pioneers" going deep into the Indian lands to settle, but those settlements must be under their control, and the "America Company" seems to want to redefine the game
The behavior of the rules is undoubtedly unacceptable.
But for now, in Mitre's view, this matter is simply not worth mentioning. As for the future... in the name of progress and civilization, just confiscate it.
Argentina is a free country, how can it allow a colony with corporate behavior?
Of course it's not allowed.
Well, in the name of the law!
Soon, Mitre's decision reached Domingo through other channels. Domingo was Elizabeth's cousin and a famous landowner in the province. However, his property was also confiscated, but he survived by luck.
That's all.
At present, as the person in charge of American Company in Buenos Aires, he is not only responsible for the company's daily business operations - from the sales of Helen Company's drugs such as "Lixon" and "Aspirin" to new
In addition to ordinary commercial activities, the sales of wheel plows are also responsible for collecting information about the province.
Collecting intelligence is something that businessmen must do. In the 19th century, the most outstanding intelligence agencies were definitely not those of the state, but businessmen. After all, doing business requires more attention to intelligence.
Of course, what Zhu Xianhai needs is a comprehensive intelligence network, and this is just the beginning.
And Domingo's special identity and experience allow him to have many high-ranking officials and friends, which also allows him to have many sources of intelligence, not to mention information related to the American Company, including a lot of military intelligence. Of course, he can use it on the first
Obtained at once.
"Mitre is really good at calculating."
While talking to himself, Domingo sneered.
"However, I'm afraid I may have made the wrong decision this time."
Of course he did not withhold the information he had just received, and of course he sent it to Viedma via telegram using a code.
However, although there was no delay at all, nearly two days had passed by the time the telegram reached Zhu Xianhai. After all, Nanhua was still more than 150 kilometers away from Viedma.
Putting down the telegram, Zhu Xianhai smiled at Elizabeth.
"Looks like it's time to pick up a telegraph line!"
What has always been the biggest headache for Zhu Xianhai?
It's just that Nanhua's external communication channels are too primitive. Even in this era, communication can't be said to be very developed. Apart from wired telegraphs, the only ones left are speeding or steam mail. However, for Biedma's wired telegrams, he
But they are also envious. Perhaps from the perspective of the 21st century, wired telegraphy is primitive, but it can ensure the transmission of information and intelligence, allowing Nanhua to have a fast channel to communicate with the outside world.
In the past, he could only look at his status, but now that he has been "exposed", he can openly apply for a wireline line from Biedmara to Nanhua.
This can be considered an unexpected gain!
"Oh? So, the matter is resolved?"
Elizabeth glanced at the telegram and then sneered.
"This decision is in line with Mitre's character. He is lurking on the side like a poisonous snake. Only at the most fatal moment will he give a fatal blow, just like what he did to Urquiza, and him
In comparison, Urquiza is as simple as a child."
Regarding Elizabeth's judgment, Zhu Xianhai just smiled indifferently.
"Whether he looks like a poisonous snake or not, it doesn't matter. What's important is that he can't get around to deal with us right now. With the public identity of "America Company", we can almost act openly like all the provinces in Argentina. As long as there are a few
Years are enough!"
The division and confrontation between the Argentinian provinces was almost a blessing for Nanhua. The mutual confrontation between them made them unable to expand southward, and of course they could not take care of Nanhua.
At least until the unification of Argentina, South China had time to develop itself.
Time is precious!
"What about in a few years?"
Elizabeth blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at him and asked.
"A few years later……"
Zhu Xianhai thought for a while and then said.
"It can only be said that it depends on the situation. The current level is over for the time being. Whether it is Mitre or Urquiza, as long as we are strong enough, they will do everything possible to please us, so the key is still
To develop, strength is the foundation!”
Without strength, everything is empty talk!
It may even really happen, as Mitre planned, and it will eventually be annexed by him in the name of progress and civilization.
As long as you are strong enough!
Want to annex Nanhua? Chill out your teeth first!
Thinking of this, Zhu Xianhai once again set his sights on Nanhua Bay and said to himself.
"Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind..."
