Chapter 221 Might is Right (Sixth update! Please subscribe)
Located on the north side of the central Plaza de Armas in Lima, the Presidential Palace, also known as the Pizarro Palace, was originally a large Indian cemetery, and this official residence was built in 1535. It was originally the residence of the Governor of Peru, and thus became a The presidential palace and government headquarters of Peru are located.

Since Peru was invaded again by Spain, this presidential palace has been the center of the storm, whether it is the main combat faction or the capitulation faction, in the end all decisions need to be made by President Pezet.

"You mean... what did they find there, Juan."

As the president, Pezet never thought that such an accident would happen—how could Huagong have such a problem at this time?

What is even more worrying is that this may even lead to tensions between the Peruvian and American companies.

"Yes, as we all know, no one has ever regarded Chinese laborers as...ordinary people, whether they are in plantations or on guano islands, they are shackled to prevent them from escaping. As you can imagine, the skins of the overseers Whip, abuse is inevitable, so they must be able to find something."

"Well, that's not good news..."

President Pezet's brows furrowed into a ball.

"Now when we need their help, if this incident causes them to be overwhelmed, it is certain that the fleet will probably evacuate here. Of course, this is still the best ending. If it gets worse, they may even ask Like the Spaniards, making extremely rude demands,"

After pondering for a moment, President Pezet said.

"Right now, the only thing we can do is pray..."

Praying, it doesn't make any sense at all, even God can't change many facts, only three days later, the fleet returned to Lima again, and then in the Pizarro Palace, Mario immediately took the newly sorted report and protested to President Pezet in person.

"Respect Mr. Special Envoy, please believe that this is an extremely individual matter. Peruvian law..."

Before President Pezet could finish speaking, Mario said loudly,
"No doubt! Your laws are a joke!"

President Pezet, who was a lawyer, immediately turned a little embarrassed. He felt his self-esteem was frustrated, and when he was about to refute, he listened to the other party.

"According to my investigation results, in the past ten years, more than [-] Chinese laborers died of various abuses and diseases caused by abuse on Guano Island alone, where your supervisors can do whatever they want. Beating Chinese laborers, or even shooting them to death, God can testify that if there is hell in the world, it is the closest place to hell. Not only that, abuse and beatings are common in every plantation, the way you treat contracted Chinese laborers , Even more cruel than the slaves in the past, the law? When the Chinese laborers were abused, where was your law? When they were killed, where was your law! Mr. President, the law written on paper, but only It's just a joke!"

In the face of President Pezette, Mario's protest was direct and merciless, regardless of whether the other party was the president of a country.After all, the world speaks with strength.So what if the other party is the president of a country?

When the strength is not as good as others, even the president is nothing more than a target for others to bully.

"Mr. Special Envoy, I need to remind you that those people are Chinese laborers, not South Chinese!"

Foreign Minister Juan, who was standing aside, said in annoyance.

"We respect the friendship with the American company very much, but the basis of this friendship is equality, but respect is also mutual. We don't think that your company has any position to blame us on the issue of Chinese laborers. After all, they are not South Chinese."

Indeed, from the perspective of public international law, the American company does not have a position to interfere with the Chinese workers, but public international law...is it as good as naval guns?
So what if it does not comply with international law?What is power?

Power is nothing more than naval guns!

Naval guns are justice!

"Who says they are not South Chinese?"

After that, Mario picked up an official letter and said.

"According to the relevant immigration laws of the American Corporation, as long as Chinese immigrants apply, they can be naturalized automatically. Now, the Chinese workers on the island have completed the naturalization procedures. Of course I need to speak out for them. Also, I have sent my entourage. Go to various plantations, believe me, those Chinese laborers who have been abused will definitely rush to become naturalized and become South Chinese, Mr. Minister, now, what we need to discuss is no longer the issue of contracted Chinese labor, but the issue of South China citizens Problems of torture, beatings and captivity in Peru!"

After all, he handed over the official letter with both hands, and then said.

"This is a formal written protest from the American Corporation. We demand the immediate release of all South China Chinese workers who have been imprisoned and tortured, and compensate them for their losses!"

After handing out the written official letter, Mario proudly raised his head and chest, ignoring the astonishment of the president and ministers, and said in a deep voice.

"Please seriously consider our request!"

What is serious consideration?This is basically an ultimatum.Whether you are happy or unhappy, I will leave my words here anyway.

Take it or say no, but the question is can you afford to say no?
"you you……"

Minister Juan pointed at the other party, he was furious, and immediately defended.

"These demands you made are completely unreasonable. Even if they are naturalized in Nanhua, you cannot ask for compensation for what happened to them yesterday. Besides, such naturalization is totally unreasonable."

"They are now South Chinese. This is an iron fact, Mr. Minister!"

Mario said directly.

"Please believe that no country will turn a blind eye to the interests of expatriates. The Spaniards are like this. The American Company may be just a company, but please believe that we also attach great importance to the interests of expatriates!"

Although he didn't directly threaten, anyone could understand what he meant.

"Is this a threat?"

President Pezet stared at the other party and questioned.

That's right, this is a threat, of course you can't say that.

"No!"

Mario replied directly.

"This is just a normal diplomatic protest. If all diplomatic means fail, then maybe something we don't want to see will happen, Mr. President!"

What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot?

Now President Pezet finally understands that he invited the American company's fleet, but he never thought that this fleet that was supposed to be the reinforcement of Peru turned out to be another threat, thinking that they might even Colluding with the Spaniards, he has mixed feelings in his heart.

This is all right, I really hit my foot!
And it's a big rock!

President Pezet, who was bleeding from his foot, was silent for a moment, and then said.

"Mr. Special Envoy, first of all, I need to explain that Peru's laws are definitely not useless laws written on paper. We will handle this matter according to Peru's laws. I believe that justice will be given to all contract Chinese workers in the end, but This does not mean that Peru will accept any threats!"
