Chapter 554 Latin America is also in bulk

News from British India could reach the new capital almost on the same day.

Because with Dong Shuheng's encouragement, the telegraph line to Myitkyina has been connected.

The military headquarters receives intelligence forwarded from the Holy Army every day. Then a staff team analyzes the intelligence.

In the future, judgment will be transferred to the Holy Army. Now the Renaissance Army is basically not engaged in any wars, and the military headquarters has enough energy to do these things.

Now that the British army is about to change its target, such big news must not be hidden from the spies of the Renaissance Army.

Changing combat targets is not an interface switch on the computer.

It requires a lot of preparation work, and it cannot be completed in one go.

From this point of view, at least Dong Shuheng's goal of holding back the British has been achieved.

As for whether the rebels win or lose in the end, it depends on them.

In the Boer War in South Africa, a few Boers were able to drag the British Empire into decline.

India is so big and has so many rebels. If it is managed well, it should be able to do better.

Of course, people in this area are used to creating "miracles", and the word victory cannot be said until the end.

Fortunately, the equipment was sold to them, even if it was at a discount, at least the cost was recovered.

Doing arms trade with people in India is the most profitable, and you don't have to worry about their skills being copied.

Everyone on earth knows this!

The great Indian uprising in history was equally huge.

But it was suppressed by the British in a short period of time.

Even under such circumstances, the British spent more than 40 million pounds.

You must know that the Indian rebel army at that time did not have any external support.

Things are different now. Not only are there people smuggling arms to them, but the Holy Army and the Royal Army of Burma are also helping them share more than half of the British army.

It can be said that times have changed.

As mentioned before, Dong Shuheng also received a report from Peru, South America.

This report was brought back by a battleship of the Nanyang Navy.

It is said that it takes half a year for the Nanyang Navy to go out.

After occupying Guam, the fleet followed the ocean current of 10 degrees north latitude all the way east, and successively occupied islands controlled by the Spanish.

Liu Dahai fought all the way to Peru.

However, Peru now has friendly relations with the Baath Army.

Liu Dahai naturally didn't launch attacks in the past, but now he's on a friendly visit.

Although the Nanyang Navy is still all sailing battleships, it also has four large cruisers.

Once here in South America, it can be considered a powerful maritime force.

After passing the Marshall Islands, the fleet first arrived in Hawaii.

There is the Ba'ath Army's own supply port there.

Very early on, Dong Shuheng began to manage his power in the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Here, the Renaissance Army had established more than a dozen farms and had its own supply port.

The Chinese farms never interfere in the politics of the Kingdom of Hawaii. They stay on their own farms and never cause trouble.

The farm also pays a large amount of tax to the Kingdom of Hawaii every year.

The Chinese merchant ships that came to Trembling Fragrance Mountain were also extremely well-behaved.

Their sailors rarely go ashore to cause trouble, and all berthing fees are paid according to the standard.

Just in the first half of this year, the Kingdom of Hawaii sent an envoy to Xinjing.

Both sides also sent envoys to each other.

There are now more than 20,000 Chinese living on various Hawaiian islands, including farm workers.

This number is second only to the number of local Native Hawaiians, but far exceeds the number of white people living here.

In addition, there are thousands of Japanese and Korean workers here, most of whom are brought by local businesses, and some work in Chinese businesses and farms.

A large number of ships dock on the island every year, most of which are China's ocean-going fleet.

The Renaissance Army has very close ties with the California region. There is a large amount of goods and personnel exchanges every year.

In order to serve the sailors coming and going, some Japanese businessmen opened geisha parlors on the island, and the business was very prosperous.

Seeing this situation, some North Korean businessmen also bought women from China to join the competition.

This is why the island has two styles of geisha houses, Korean and Japanese.

You can see buildings with red lanterns like this everywhere at the port of Trembling Fragrance Mountain.

Whenever a ship docks, these women will dress up and stand under the corridor of the official residence to attract customers.

Some restaurants will even use boats to send girls to the side of the boat to solicit business.

Of course, Chinese businessmen are not allowed to do this kind of business. If they want to do this, they can only buy women from other places.

There are relatively few stopping points along the route on the Pacific Ocean, so most ships will rest at Trembling Fragrance Mountain for a few days.

Firstly, the ship needs to replenish food and water, and some structures need maintenance; secondly, it can allow the crew to relax physically and mentally.

Liu Dahai led the Beiyang Navy to rest here for half a month.

Because they still have to wait for the ship to transport ammunition.

At Mount Trembling Fragrance, the king of the Kingdom of Hawaii warmly received the Chinese naval commander.

Local Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans came to the streets to welcome the Nanyang Navy.

The officers and soldiers were the happiest these days on the island.

When the sailors on the ship were shopping in groups on the streets, Japanese or Korean geisha would often rush out and pull them into their official residences.

Of course, the owner of the museum will not accept money. The navy of the Renaissance Army is the protective umbrella of all the yellow people here.

Everyone has been to a geisha house, but the opportunity to have sex for free is rare.

The difference between spending money and not spending money is not money, but state of mind.

This fleet's visit to Hawaii shocked some white people who wanted to take advantage of the Chinese.

Whaling ships often appear as pirates in the Pacific, trying to rob Chinese merchant ships.

These whaling ships naturally belong to the British Empire or the Americans.

Whaling ships are generally equipped with certain weapon systems.

However, they did not succeed often because the merchant fleets in Dong Shuheng's hands were all armed.

Moreover, fleets usually carry some immigrants, and with armed immigrants on board, merchant ships don't have to worry about pirates joining gangs to fight.

When the pirates jump into gangs and fight, they will realize that they have kicked the iron plate, but by then it is already too late.

Those pirates who were interested in Chinese merchant ships eventually gave away their ships.

The Chinese fleet does not want these white people who do all kinds of evil, and usually throw these people into the embrace of the sea.

No country will be lenient in combating pirates.

This massive visit also enhanced the cohesion among local Chinese and even yellow people.

Everyone has a strong motherland or suzerain country to rely on. Nothing can unite people more than this.

After the Nanyang Navy rested, they set sail again for Los Angeles. From there, they would follow the Pacific gyre and head south along the coastline of western America.

On the way, Liu Dahai visited several small countries in Latin America.

Most of these countries were originally Spanish colonies.

But they don't like the Spaniards.

Because most of them had wars with Spain when they first got rid of Spanish rule.

Although many people here are of Spanish descent.

But they don't like Spain.

In their eyes, Spain is still a backward, closed, and cruel monarchy, which is contrary to the freedom and equality that these Latin Americans yearn for.

Of course, this is an official reason. In fact, the contradiction between the two is that Spain is experiencing domestic economic difficulties and must step up its search for colonies.

However, the white plantation owners who had lived in the colony for several generations regarded it as their home.

Of course they longed for independence and freedom, but not for the freedom of the local people, but so that their own estates would not need to pay taxes to Spain.

After they became independent, the first thing they did was carve up the local land.

In the movie "The Liberator," Bolivar said to his fiancée, "Everywhere you look is my land, and the places you can't see are also my land."

The Bolivar family is the epitome of local plantation owners. They keep black slaves to help them work and hire and exploit Indians.

It's just that Bolivar is an enlightened and thoughtful manor owner.

He led these people at the lowest level to resist Spanish rule.

However, the money for Bolivar's war came from the estate owners.

When the interests were finally divided, it was also the owners of the estate.

The blacks, Indians, and some mixed-race people who followed Bolivar to fight could still only work under the manor owners.

Black slaves just changed their identity and no longer had the mark of being a slave.

However, it is the manor owners who really benefit.

After Bolivar's death, the rapid disintegration of the Republic of Gran Colombia he established is the best proof.

The large plantation owners in Latin America are selfish and only focus on their own immediate interests.

So it is impossible for these people to unite together.

Rather than saying that Latin America at that time was a small country, it was better to say that it was composed of large estates or mines.

Those manor owners or mine owners are the kings of their own land.

When such people are put together, they are destined to go their separate ways when there is no external threat. Bolivar's ideal is destined to be unable to be realized by people like them.

It is even possible that Bolivar himself was just used by them.

They wanted to use Bolivar's popularity and ability to drive away the Spaniards.

After the Spanish kingdom was driven away, no one could share the cake with them.

This is the face of those Latin American hacienda owners.

The current political ecology formed in Peru is the politics of manor owners, plutocrats, and warlords.

Peruvian President José has very limited powers.

Lima's standing army is less than 5,000 men, which is all the power President José can control.

Cai Qiming has been very busy recently, because the Nanyang Navy is going to visit Peru, and he has to make preparations to welcome it.

President Jose has been very distressed recently. He doesn't know how to treat these Chinese.

The sudden development of combined Indian and Chinese forces in the Junin area made Jose feel worried.

Naturally, he also sent people to investigate, and the results of the investigation surprised him. There were hundreds of thousands of people gathered there.

Peru as a whole now has a population of just over one million.

More than half of them are Indians, and the remaining half are mixed-race people. The real white population is only a few hundred thousand.

Although Peru has been bringing in people, they only want to bring in some low-level labor because those mines and estates need workers.

But now, those people have all gathered in the Junin area and the east side of the Andes.

These are the places where Peruvian government control is weakest.

There are also some local manor owners, but they are all in a state of autonomy.

For example, the governors of Ucayali and Madre de Dios were elected by themselves and did not listen to the Peruvian government at all.

This is what is called listening to the tune but not the propaganda.

Recently, a surprising piece of news came.

There was a war between the manorial owners in the east of the Andes and the Chinese Indians in the Junin area.
