Opening game, American Tycoon

"..."

After Marc Fernando turned off the radio, he stood up from the table, and the breakfast on the table was barely moved.He has been smoking, one after another.He walked to the window, gazed out at the city, and lit another cigarette.

"Bastard, damned Empire."

He muttered the word softly, full of resentment, and then cursed in a low voice to express his hatred for the Ming Empire.

As a spy, Mark came to this city three years ago.As a Latino in exile in the United States, his hatred for the Ming Empire is unforgettable. After all, under the invasion of the Ming Empire, he not only lost his father and brother, but also lost the property that should have been inherited by him.

When Ming invaded Peru, he was a teenager—the son of a lieutenant colonel—and fled Peru with his mother on a merchant ship. They left a life of prosperity and came to the United States as exiles.

Six years ago, he became a member of the U.S. Naval Intelligence Service. Three years ago, he came to Mexico. Why did he come here?

Not just to collect intelligence, but also to instigate an uprising of the royal family against local powerful factions.

Smoking one after another, Mark said to himself after smoking the last cigarette.

"It seems that this is the only way!"

……

I knocked on the door, and voices came from inside asking:
"Who?"

Mark put his face to the crack of the door,
"It's me, Mark."

Mark kept his voice as low as possible.The door opened a crack, Daniel looked out, and then opened the door.

"Mark, didn't I say that? We should try to avoid seeing each other."

As soon as he entered the door, Daniel said bluntly,

"I am not Latino, so it is very conspicuous here, and it is also very dangerous for you to come to see me."

"Daniel, you're not usually so cautious."

"It's not for me,"

Daniel said.

"I can take care of myself under any circumstances, but I don't want to implicate you because of me. After all, our task has not been completed."

He pointed out the window and said.

"What is the purpose of our coming here? Isn't it to complete the mission and create chaos in Mexico?"

"However, this kind of work is not going very smoothly."

"Those guys are all cowards. While complaining that the royal family is robbing their property, they dare not use force to resist the royal family."

Taking out the cigarette from the cigarette case, lighting it and taking a puff, Daniel continued to talk.

"Maybe they have their own militia, but they are afraid of the army in the hands of the royal family, and even more afraid of the empire, so they just complain with their mouths. Now this is the status quo we are facing. Without those people joining us, we would be Mission impossible."

The ones he was talking about were those local powerful factions who held a large amount of land, but those people were very realistic, and they clearly knew their own strength.

"Now it's not 20 years ago. Now the Mexican royal family has established a firm foothold here. Not only have they won the support of the people little by little, but they also have hundreds of thousands of troops loyal to the royal family, and they also have the support of the Ming Empire. It is undeniable. Those local powerful factions may be full of complaints against the royal family, but they will never take risks easily in the face of such a situation, if we don't face it, it is purely self-deception."

In fact, it is very simple to win the support of the people. After all, those local forces have never taken people as people.

Mark looked at Daniel and said.

"The way I see it, if we're going to get the job done, there's only one option. It's the one that can spark a conflict between them and make them fight! That way we can achieve our primary goal of getting Mexico into civil war. I Think we should assassinate the Prince of California!"

Assassinate the Prince of California!
Who is he?
He is the husband of Princess Sofia, Crown Prince of Mexico!The prince of the Ming Empire.

Daniel raised his head quickly.There was a dead silence in the room, only the occasional slight wind noise outside the window could be heard.

"Indeed, this sounds risky, but if it can be implemented, Mexico will certainly be plunged into civil war..."

Mark continued,

"In the past few years, the land survey in Mexico has been presided over by the Prince of California. The local nobles in various states have long been dissatisfied with him. However, no one dares to challenge him. After all, behind him is the Ming Empire."

Land surveying used to be a magic weapon for the Mexican elite to plunder the people's land, but now?Is the basis for land repossession by the Prince of California and the Mexican Crown.

"Yeah, since that's the case, who would dare to assassinate him?"

Daniel said bluntly.

"Assassinating him will only arouse Daming's revenge, and even give the Mexican royal family an excuse to carry out radical land reforms."

"Isn't this exactly our purpose? In fact, it doesn't matter whether the assassination can be successful or not. The important thing is that we should lead the clues to those local powerful factions and give the Mexican royal family a reason to attack them. Of course, it is also for those local families. A reason to rebel against the Crown and restore the republic."

Daniel looked at him in astonishment.After a while, he slowly understood, nodded and said.

"Indeed, what we need is turmoil within them, and we need to use the destabilizing factors within them to create turmoil. So what should we do?"

In the next half hour, Mark explained his plan, while Danny was deep in thought, and Mark's plan gradually took shape in his mind.

"...Our only way is to hire an outsider, and this outsider? He must have a direct connection with a certain local family, so that when the Mexican authorities conduct an investigation, they will find that the assassination has nothing to do with There are strong ties between the local families."

This is indeed a very good way, whether it is success or failure, you can get corresponding rewards.

"Is there a suitable partner?"

Finally, Daniel asked.

"As long as there is money, there must be someone willing to sell their soul to the devil. The only problem is..."

Mark said.

"We need someone to support us."

……

"I don't care how you guys are going to do it."

When MacArthur was talking, he looked at the photo in front of him again, and then cast his eyes on the lieutenant colonel, with a strange look in his eyes.

"As long as Mexico can be thrown into chaos, for California, that's all that matters!"

While speaking, MacArthur looked out of the window with an indifferent look.

"Yes, sir, but this operation will cost a lot of money."

"How much?"

MacArthur asked.

"cash,"

The lieutenant colonel, after thinking for a while, said,

"Pay half upfront and the other half afterward."

"How many?"

"20."

"You'll get everything you need, Lieutenant Colonel."

MacArthur said bluntly.

"Okay, go and do your thing, now..."

Standing up and walking to the map, MacArthur stared at the arrows on the map that symbolized the movements of the Ming army, and then said.

"What is the direction of their attack? North? Or south? Otherwise, give it a try..."
