Chapter 50: Nanhua Killer Weapon
"Bailey, when you go to Biedma this time, try to buy as many draft horses as possible. They will be needed in the reclamation area."
Even as a mistress, Elizabeth is not a vase. She also has to do things. She has turned herself into a shadow, and she is also Zhu Xianhai's assistant. The engineers, technicians, and the necessary machines, farm tools and other materials on Nanhua's side were all purchased by her in Buenos Aires.
Even her former servant Bailey became a middleman, traveling between Nanhua and Biedma, specifically responsible for purchasing the livestock needed by Nanhua, especially horses for plowing.
The reason why Bailey was used as a middleman was to conceal the existence of Nanhua. When one is weak, keeping a low profile is the rule of survival.
After Bailey left, Elizabeth was not idle. She wrote letters to her friends in Buenos Aires, asking them to find some engineers and technicians for her. Nanhua had a lot of work to do and needed technology in all aspects, especially since Nanhua would set up factories in the future, and factories would always need technicians.
After working for a long day, around noon, when Zhu Xianhai came back, the moment she saw him, she swept away the tired Elizabeth and greeted him with a smile.
"My dear, you seem to be in a good mood!"
"Indeed, Buffett has sent a telegram saying that the orders for the required equipment have been placed. Once the supplier has completed the work, he will bring the equipment to Nanhua!"
Zhu Xianhai smiled.
The telegram was obtained from Viedma. Every three days, he would send someone there to inquire whether there were any telegrams from the "America Company".
The so-called "America Company" was actually just a shell company in disguise. However, with that shell company, at least there was an extra layer of disguise when dealing with the outside world.
"What do you need? What are they?"
Elizabeth asked curiously.
"The factory needs equipment. Buffett went to Europe and the United States not only to recommend 'Liposon' and 'Aspirin', but also to purchase equipment. In the future, our pharmaceutical factory will be built here. I have already chosen a location, right on the East Coast. Of course, there are some other machines."
Zhu Xianhai did not hide anything from the Countess who gave up the bustling city life for him and told her his thoughts one by one.
What pharmaceutical factories, what explosives factories, what gunpowder factories.
In short, it's a big money-making business.
"I plan to use wood pulp instead of diatomaceous earth, and in the future the explosives factory will specialize in producing 'Dana dynamite', which was previously 'silica dynamite'."
If you want to plagiarize, you have to plagiarize everything. Not only the technology, but even the name. Zhu Xianhai took it without hesitation.
"Well, producing explosives is not bad. After all, the silica explosives you invented are really powerful. It is very convenient to use for mining and quarrying. It will definitely be welcomed by the mine owners."
In a nearby quarry, Elizabeth had witnessed its amazing power, but that was all.
Zhu Xianhai just smiled at her insight.
What do you, a woman, know?
The real blue ocean is the Civil War a few months later!
Zhu Xianhai felt very proud whenever he thought about the North and the South using the "explosives" we invented to blow each other up.
Of course, high-performance explosives will also be Nanhua's "trump card" for self-defense, such as grenades. Maybe the Self-Defense Forces don't have enough rifles now, but they can still have enough grenades. The process of making grenades is so simple that it's outrageous. It's just a Taiwan iron furnace and a simple wood lathe. As long as there is explosives, it will be fine.
A grenade that can be thrown dozens or even nearly a hundred meters away and is loaded with hundreds of grams of high-energy explosives is definitely a powerful weapon among powerful weapons in this era of platoon shootings!
If rifles are not enough, grenades can be used.
If it really doesn't work, let's get a group of grenadiers, each with eight grenades, no, ten grenades per person. If we fight with anyone, we'll use tens of thousands of grenades. Are you afraid?
In an instant, Zhu Xianhai's eyes lit up.
Tens of thousands of grenades were thrown at people's heads. Even if it was the British lobster soldiers, a round of grenades thrown at their heads would blow them into pieces!
It’s so fucking exciting just thinking about it.
How can it not be stimulating? In the 20th century, this was called "saturation attack", which was absolutely a revolutionary tactic. During the Anti-Japanese War, this tactic was a tried and tested tactic of the Chinese army during night raids, which absolutely made the Japanese cry for their parents.
That was the "Border Region" model with black gunpowder, but ours... is "Dana Explosives", absolutely the best of the best, the best of the best. The effect of "covering" is absolutely first-rate, and it is guaranteed to cover the enemy with yellow earth... No, at least two layers! It has to be the best of the best.
It feels so great to stand on the shoulders of the giant of history!
No, we have to get the grenades .
We don't have armored grenadiers, but we have grenadiers!
South China Grenadiers… sounds so awesome!
Just when Zhu Xianhai was feeling proud, Elizabeth came up to him and said softly:
"These factories are indeed quite profitable, and this was also one of your original plans, but have you considered another problem?"
"What? What's the problem?"
Zhu Xianhai was stunned for a moment, and asked quickly:
"Is there anything I'm overlooking right now?"
The pretty countess smiled,
"Your plan is good. Reclaiming land, planting crops, and building factories are all good plans. Not only will they make you richer, but they will also allow your compatriots to get jobs and live a stable life. But have you noticed..."
Elizabeth pointed to the Chinese workers in the distance and the slaves working in the fields and said.
"It seems that there are only men and women here. Apart from me and Michelle, there are only about a hundred female slaves you brought from the mine. I heard that there are many people queuing up every night where they live..."
A lot of people queuing?
Zhu Xianhai knew what was going on without having to ask.
The female slaves included blacks, Indians, and mixed races, like Brenda. They not only worked in the mines, but also served as reproductive machines for the slave owners. Now, some people were queuing up for them... No need to ask, you know why they were queuing up.
There are no women in the South China Sea!
"Um……"
Zhu Xianhai frowned and nodded.
"You're right. Without women, this city will have no future. Something bad will definitely happen over time."
Just like San Francisco, why did the hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers in San Francisco slowly disappear in the long river of history? To put it bluntly, there were no women - the "pig boats" only transported men who were able to work, and as for women, they were never considered by the white human traffickers.
Without women, there would be no possibility of natural reproduction. Under the circumstances where white people generally discriminate against Chinese people, Chinese people will eventually grow old slowly and then disappear into history.
Of course, the absence of women will also trigger a series of social problems. Right now they are lining up for female slaves, but what about the future?
"In 1520, Pedro de Mendoza arrived in the waters off the Pampas with 1,600 men and 16 ships. They established a settlement in the area and named it Buenos Aires."
As soon as they sat down in the corridor, Elizabeth smiled and gave Zhu Xianhai a history lesson:
"Do you know how many women there were among the 1,600 Spaniards?"
"How many?"
"Not even one!"
Elizabeth said as she lazily sat on the long swing under the balcony, enjoying the sunshine.
"She is a charming woman, with skin as white as wheat grains. Few men can resist her. When she first appeared in my sight, she was like Eve walking out of the Garden of Eden, attracting my soul..."
Uh, what does that mean?
Zhu Xianhai looked at Elizabeth with some confusion.
The countess smiled charmingly at him and said:
"This is a poem, a hymn praising the local Chanatimbu girls. Men always need women. Even a naked indigenous woman will become Eve in their eyes."
She looked at Zhu Xianhai lovingly.
"Do you know what I mean?"
Looking at Elizabeth's charming and enchanting face, Zhu Xianhai realized,
“Are you a native?”
Why is racial discrimination not so serious in South America for native white people?
To put it bluntly, the bloodline of the vast majority of local white people must contain maternal blood of indigenous people. South America... this is a real melting pot of races!
White and black, white and black and yellow, yellow and white, yellow and black... the mixture of various races ultimately creates the passionate Latin girl.
"I heard that when the Mapuche attacked settlements, they would take away women from the settlements. How could they take their own women..."
Is it robbery?
Elizabeth turned her head, her blue eyes fell on Zhu Xianhai's face, and suddenly she smiled brightly.
"It seems that you really don't understand Argentina."
I don't know where he took out a book.
"You should read this book carefully. The Mapuche are not the indigenous people here. They live in Araucan on the west side of the Andes Mountains. They are also called Araucanians. They are savage and strong. Until now, the Chileans have not conquered that land. More than a hundred years ago, they crossed the Andes Mountains and conquered the Perche and Tehuelche people on the grasslands. These people are all slaves of the Mapuche people. It has always been like this, including the women who were taken from the settlements. They are not only slaves, but also tools."
"tool?"
Zhu Xianhai was stunned for a moment. What did this mean?
"As long as Nanhua can make the Mapuche people see the value of this place, then Nanhua can become their ally. Of course, in order to win over allies, they will definitely take the initiative to use women as tools to win over you!"
