"It doesn't matter whether you are a relative or not!"

Standing on the deck of the "Flying Dragon", Li Ziqin sneered softly with a cigarette between his fingers.

"The important thing is an excuse. We were either deceived by foreigners, or trafficked to Peru. What kind of life do we live? People are different, ghosts or ghosts. With an excuse, we can intervene in the rescue of those compatriots, my lord. The meaning is very clear, rescue him and bring him to Nanhua!"

Li Ziqin was born as a Chinese laborer on the Chincha Islands. Unlike others, he was originally a scholar who went to the provincial capital to take the exam, but who would have thought that he would be trafficked and sold to a piggy house by human traffickers, where he would be sold as a piggy After arriving in Peru, I have been digging bird droppings on the island day and night since then, living a life that is worse than death. I don’t know how many times I almost lost my life. Dung island.

Now, since he had the opportunity to rescue those compatriots once and for all, how could he miss this opportunity.

"But what if the Peruvians don't want to?"

In fact, Li Xuelin didn't need to ask this question at all. Of course he knew what the answer was. If they don't want it, let them do it!
Sometimes the answer is as simple as that!
"Do they...have a choice now?"

Li Ziqin sneered.

"You know, the world speaks on strength, otherwise, Chief Li thinks, why are those white people being polite to us!"

……

As a special envoy, Mario came to Foreign Minister Juan's office again. As usual, after Mario entered the room, Juan warmly welcomed him, but soon his expression became a little stiff .

"You mean indentured labor in China?"

Juan's reflex arc couldn't even react, why did the other party mention this matter.What do those Chinese laborers have to do with American Corporation?

If I remember correctly, the American company also seems to use a lot of Chinese labor!They even brought in hundreds of thousands of Chinese laborers!

"Yes, as a special envoy, I have the responsibility to protect the legitimate rights and interests of immigrants from being divided, but after arriving in Lima, some Chinese immigrants submitted a report claiming that their relatives were kidnapped by unscrupulous businessmen and trafficked to Peru in the name of "contract labor" , therefore, I think it is my duty to know about this matter, and ask your country to investigate this matter, of course, Mr. Minister, we fully respect your country's laws, but I think we must understand the relevant situation, for our friendship between

Juan felt very surprised, because the other party would actually make such a request at this time, and it was for the Chinese.But thinking that this company has a large number of Chinese immigrants, and even their company boss is Chinese, Juan seemed to understand, so he immediately denied it.

"Of course, there is nothing more important than the friendship between us, but, Mr. Special Envoy, I can assure you that all the indentured laborers are legally imported according to the contract, and there is absolutely no cheating!"

"However, Your Excellency, the name of the other party was clearly mentioned in the petition. Hundreds of people were involved. They were all kidnapped or deceived. I have here their distress letters. Not only that, they also suffered from various Abuse, Your Excellency."

"Sir, it's impossible!"

Juan emphasized again.

"Distress letter? Where are they?"

"At the mines of the Chincha Islands."

"The Chincha Islands?"

Juan shrugged.

"I'm sorry, it's under Spanish occupation now, it's hard for me to verify that. And even if you investigate, you'll find that the so-called distress letter is just a lie, and the so-called abuse is all a lie." Fabricated rumors. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the island to investigate!”

Go to the island to investigate!
As a special envoy, Mario's face looked a bit ugly. He didn't expect the negotiation to turn into this result.

He categorically denied that he had expected it, but he didn't expect that the other party would kick the ball and go to the island to investigate. Now the Chincha Islands are under the occupation of the Spaniards.

Taking a deep breath, Mario stood up and said.

"In this case, let's go to the island to investigate! I think the final investigation results will prove whether what they said is a rumor!"

what!
Now it's Juan's turn to be dumbfounded, will they really go to the island to investigate?Probably not!
Spaniards, they should not let them go to the island!
……

For hundreds of thousands of years, millions of seabirds have circled and lived around the Chincha Islands.Often a bird flies up and drives a large area, which really makes people understand what it means to cover the sky and block out the sun. When the bird falls, it is so dense that people can hardly see the color of the ground.

This archipelago is less than 70 kilometers away from the Peruvian mainland. Although it doesn't look very eye-catching, it is called "the cow of Peru".As the world's most important source of guano, countless seabirds have left a layer of feces tens of meters thick on the island in the past millions of years, although the stench emitted by the island makes it difficult to approach.However, because bird droppings are rich in elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, they are rare natural fertilizers.Therefore, since more than [-] years ago, Europeans have used the guano here as fertilizer to increase crop yields.Over the past few decades, bird droppings mining in the Chincha Islands has long been the mainstay of Peru's economy, and the amount of selling bird droppings even accounted for more than [-]% of Peru's fiscal revenue.

Also because the guano on the island is extremely important to the Peruvian government, more than three months ago, in order to force the Peruvian government to make concessions, the Spanish fleet invaded and occupied these islands, not only arrested Peruvian officials on board, but also dispatched 400 marines Marines hoisted the Spanish flag on the island.For the Spaniards, these islands were an important negotiating tool.

Of course, it would be even better if the archipelago could be taken from Peru.But this is just thinking about it. After all, everyone knows that it is impossible for Peruvians to cede this treasure house.

Under the scorching sun, the marines on the "White Queen" moored in Pisco Bay were yawning lazily in the sun. Although the warship kept a distance of hundreds of meters from the island, the smoky stench still persisted. Blown by the sea breeze from time to time.

This taste is very strong!
The rush will make people stop dozing off immediately.

"damn it……"

Suddenly, a sailor cursed fiercely, bird droppings, the bird droppings falling from the sky hit him directly in the face, he should be used to this, after all, there are everywhere on the deck, on the sails, on the mast It's guano.

Before he could wipe off the bird droppings on his face, there was a sudden exclamation from the watchtower.

"An unknown fleet has been discovered in the north!"
