Opening game, American Tycoon

Chapter 1015 The people under the rule of the empire are happy (second update, please subscribe)
Conspiracy, when it is brewing, people are often ignorant of it.

While those so-called "exiles" were plotting plots, Shanxi was extremely peaceful at this time.

Chile is the first stepping stone for the rise of Nanhua.

Before that, Nanhua was just a colonial company. After that, Nanhua appeared on the South American stage as a country.

Who would have thought that the former South American Xiaoqiang would be destroyed overnight?

"No, sir! If the generals in Chillan could have realized that the South China Army would use armored trains to transport troops by rail to the city of San Diego, then San Diego would not have fallen on April Fool's Day in 1866, and everything would have been destroyed." will change."

Sitting in a quiet corner of the bar, Chandler listened to Ambs talk about the fall of San Diego 16 years ago.

Most of the guests in this bar are of European descent like him, and of course they all changed their Chinese surnames like him. He is the same, and so is Ambs.

There is a large bar in the center of the house, where dozens of drinkers can sit around and drink.In the half hour just now, the old man downed several glasses of corn whiskey in one go, already a little tipsy, he was talking freely with some alcohol.

"Perhaps, the Republic will still exist."

"You have to remember the fact, young man, that the Republic is dead. From the day 15 years ago, when Nanhua's commando captured the presidential palace, everything was doomed."

An old man with white hair reminded loudly.

"The generals who were on the front line of Chillan may have made some mistakes, which anyone may make. However, from the occupation of Araucania by the South China Army in 1862 to the fall of Chillan, we were there We fought with them for four years. During those years, we had almost all the advantages. At that time, someone suggested negotiating with Chillan’s interim government—after all, if we occupied Chillan, it was very likely that South China would intervene. This suggestion made Santiago There was an uproar in the public opinion. Some people bluntly said to the president: "President, you can either dismiss and investigate those guys who tried to betray the country, or wait for them to betray the republic. "They don't consider the threat of Nanhua at all - Nanhua not only has many brave generals, but also has the most advanced weapons in the world - mortars, machine guns, armored trains, ironclad ships, as long as you can imagine, they have .yes, they don't think about it at all, why don't they? Because of arrogance. Sir, we are white, we have never been defeated by people of color!
Araucania's failure?It was just an accident, and I bet you that as soon as we capture Chillan, our troops can go straight south and take Araucania.Lo and behold, what happened next?Young people, you see, Chile is dead, on April Fool's Day, the presidential palace was occupied, and Santiago, overnight, Chile became a thing of the past..."

The old man asked for another whiskey and said.

"Araucania has never been the land of Chile. We had the opportunity to negotiate peace with them at that time, but our arrogance prevented us from doing that. Because of this, we need to endure the injustice of fate."

Is it the injustice of fate?
After the old man finished speaking, when he picked up the wine glass, a guy on the side said.

"Hey, I said, old man, fate may be unfair to you. You used to be a captain in the army and you lost everything. But we are different. We are ordinary people. We live better when the South China people come. We Now there are not only jobs and bread, but also good income."

The guy's words immediately aroused a lot of approval:

"Yes, not only that, but we have Sundays and annual holidays."

"There is also pension insurance and medical insurance!"

"Yes, we have better housing!"

For a while, there were voices like this everywhere in the bar, and finally a person stood up and spoke in a bit blunt Chinese.

"Would we be living like this without the Empire?"

"Never. I came to Chile from Italy when I was 15 years old. Like many people, I had to do odd jobs to make ends meet, or I was going to be a sharecropper on the estates of the governors. Maybe when I died, except for one Except for the Indian wife, I still have nothing. Later, the South China people came and changed everything. I have worked in a shoe factory for ten years... I am already 50 years old, and I will be able to get a pension in another ten years Yes, God blesses me to live until that time, but now I have a house and a wife, even if I die now, there will be no regrets..."

As the man spoke, he patted Ambrose on the shoulder and said to him.

"Young man, Chile... I don't know, what is there to miss, because the republic is ruled by a group of lords Caudillo with the same color as us?"

His words aroused a burst of echo. As for the white-haired old man, he just drank with a sullen head, and Ambs, who had become the target of public criticism, waved his hand quickly and said.

"That's not what I mean. I'm just talking about a certain possibility. God can testify. My loyalty to the empire can be seen as the sun and the moon. I...you see, how good my Chinese is."

Now Ambose's drunkenness seemed to have disappeared. He even looked around nervously, lest he be regarded as a rebel, be arrested, or disappear... No, exile is no longer a secret.

There are more than [-] exiled Chileans in Africa. Among them are soldiers, politicians, landowners, businessmen, teachers, journalists, and many ordinary people. They resisted or advocated resistance, were arrested, and then exiled to Africa.

What about them at a time when their family lost their livelihood because of their stupidity?They were well cared for in the colony - they even had two or three black mistresses and had a bunch of kids.There are many families like that in Africa!

Although this has reduced their fear a lot, for ordinary people, the Gendarmerie and the legendary Gulag, Lubyanka, and Tegoko still have a terrifying existence.

Ambs, who was sober, still dared to sit here. After he walked out of the bar with his friends in a hurry, he saw a brightly lit city that never sleeps.

This city is Taiyuan. It used to be the capital of Chile, Santiago, but now it is the most prosperous city under the Andes...

Looking up at the bright street lamps above his head, looking at the city that never sleeps, Ambose couldn't help talking to himself.

"The rule of the empire... really threw Chile dozens of miles away!"

"Ha ha……"

Chandler patted him on the shoulder and said.

"This is a well-known fact! Although to some extent, they are full of suspicion and discrimination against us, just like we used to treat Indians. But it is undeniable that under the rule of the empire, everyone's Life is very happy, everyone's life has been changed to varying degrees!"

In fact, this is also the most tangled place for those Chileans. On the one hand, they miss the past, but on the other hand, no one can deny that under the rule of the empire, the lives of most people have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Yeah, the Empire... really is the best ruler we can get, it would be better if they were a little fairer..."
