Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

For the three nations of the South America, this battle had already reached its most critical moment. Even though both the Peru and the Bolivia had joined hands to fight against the Chile, due to the fact that the Chile had a very brilliant strategy before, the battle had begun on the side of the Chile.

First, the close relationship between the President of the Chile and the United Kingdom had led to the indirect support of the United Kingdom. Although the United Kingdom did not spend a single cent on a single soldier, through various diplomatic pressures, they had succeeded in maintaining the neutrality of other European countries.

Needless to say, the arms trade of these three countries was completely monopolized by the British businessman, and Henry was the head of these arms merchants.

Due to the intervention of the British, the weapons trade of Henry's group was a little unconventional. The price and performance of the weapons given to the Chile were much higher than those given by the Peru and the Bolivia.

Although it was already a windfall for Chile, it was at least a lot better than those two countries.

The Chile would always be able to get the latest intelligence from the other two nations. It was just like a tiger with two wings.

Not only that, the brutal domination of the Peru's mines towards the Chinese workers had finally forced the Chile to give up a new army. This heavenly army that did not fear death was simply a gift from God to the Chile.

It was precisely because there were no mistakes in the big strategy that the Chile was not at a disadvantage when fighting two people alone. Currently, the main force of the vanguard was nearing the Moguak region and was pointing their swords towards the Ikek's port.

As long as the important port the Ikek was captured, then the supplies at the rear of the Chile would be able to go to the north to support the main force without any obstructions. Furthermore, the army stationed at the back of the Chile would be able to threaten the areas of Tucna and Arica at any time. If they could take down these two deserts, then eighty percent of the production of saltpeter and bird manure stone from the entire Atacama Desert would be in the hands of the Chile.

This upcoming battle was extremely important, to the Chile, every reinforcement was a treasure, the newly arrived ten thousand Taiping Army s were like a long drought rain to them.

"What is the quality of a soldier?" "Compared to Mr. Weng and Mr. Chen's soldiers, how strong are these ten thousand men?" Xi Lapizuo asked nervously.

Weng Derong laughed, "Who do we think we are, this General Tie standing in front of you, his rank in the Taiping Army is higher than us, and he has been in the army longer than us, I dare not call myself a veteran in front of him!"

Weng Derong, Chen Yonglu and the rest were all followers of the Vice Prince Li Shixian, while the Vice Prince Li Shixian was Li Xiucheng's brother. No matter whether it was Li Xiucheng or Li Shixian, both were Heavenly Kingdom late stage generals, they could not even compare to Winged King Shida Kai and his group.

When the Winged King Shida Kai had his own side, these people were merely the middle-ranking officers of the Taiping Army. They were completely not of the same generation.

That was why Tie Toutuo and the others who had participated in the first north battle would have a much higher qualification compared to Weng Derong and the others. In fact, not only in Southeast Asia, the quality of the lost Taiping Army was also higher than the soldiers that were fighting for them, because a large percentage of the soldiers there were all veterans who had experienced the rise of the kingdom of heaven and its peak.

Xi Lapizuo looked at them in disbelief. "Oh my god! Are you kidding me? actually more elite than you? " At that moment, a hint of fear actually appeared in his eyes.

Tang Lei hurriedly continued, "But unfortunately, these soldiers are all from all over Southeast Asia and do not have their own weapons. Thus, I hope that the Chile can provide me with weapons and equipment as soon as possible … I guarantee that their battle strength will be very strong, and after half a month of training, they will be able to enter the battlefield very quickly! "

Xi Lapizuo nodded his head, "Oh, this is an army of 10,000! "I will do my best, I will do my best …"

Seeing Xi Lapizuo's bitter face, Tang Lei decided to follow his words and asked, "Your Excellency General, I still have some business to discuss with you in detail. I wonder if you need some cheap weapons?"

The soldier behind Tang Lei took down an oilskin package from his back and opened it on the table. The Chile general shouted excitedly, "Oh my god! Ninety percent new Enfield? Eighty percent new Springfield? "Good stuff …"

Tang Lei's face revealed an evil merchant's expression: Not bad, look at the Ripper, it doesn't have much wear and tear. I can equip more than 11,000 people with this kind of weapon, and I also have a lot of bullets.

Xi Lapizuo would not easily be duped, he smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, when did you become a merchant? However, although these weapons of yours are not bad, they are all second-hand goods, aren't they? "This cannot be bought at a higher price …"

"Hahaha, I can't hide anything from the General. These second-hand goods were all eliminated by the American Civil War, and then our Ryukyu bought them through contacts. Although it's not completely new, at least we can guarantee an average of 80% new, it's already very rare! I think that it is more than enough to deal with Peru and her armies … "

"No, no, no, Mr. Tang, you don't understand what I'm saying. I'm just very sorry to have to tell you, our Chile has a very difficult financial situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle these ten thousand rifles!"

Xi Lapizuo sneered in his heart, "You want to do business with me? With so many weapons that you pulled from the Ryukyu, other than selling to me, who else could you give? Sell it to the Peru and the Bolivia? Let them slaughter you Chinese? "

"If you can't sell it, can you still sell it like how it was in the past? Do you think crossing the Pacific Ocean is child's play? "Heh heh heh, God has truly blessed me. This business will definitely take advantage of me …"

Just as he was feeling overjoyed, Tang Lei's words directly caused him to choke on the wine in his mouth.

"General has misunderstood …" Who said I was asking for money? I won't take even a single gold coin for this deal! "

"Cough, cough, cough …" Xi Lapizuo choked on his alcohol to the point that he couldn't breathe, and his face flushed red from holding in his breath, "What did you say? You don't want gold coins? Are you trying to give it to us Chile for nothing? "

"Tch!" The group looked at him like he was an idiot. "General, you sure know how to joke around. We gave you 10,000 rifles for free?" Even if you have money, it's not like this is a despicable method. You have to use something to exchange for it! "

Five of them will be filled to the brim with silver, five will be filled with saltpeter, and the remaining ten will all be filled with copper ingots. I want these things to fill these ten thousand rifles for you! "

"No, no, no …" This is too hard, this is blackmail! " Xi Lapizuo immediately shouted.
