Chapter 51: Driving away the wolf and wounding the tiger, the fisherman gains the benefit
ally!
Zhu Xianhai raised his eyebrows slightly. Form an alliance with the Mapuche people?
Why did he choose this place? It was because he was defeated by the Mapuche people in the simulation.
But now Elizabeth's proposal made him understand a little.
What is the current situation of the Pampas?
It's clearly the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Who is the most powerful?
It seemed to be the Mapuche people - they were definitely a horse-riding people in South America, who relied on javelins and slings to defeat the Argentines and Chileans without any chance of fighting back.
But in fact, the real strong ones are still the Argentines and Chileans. With the advent of the breech-loading rifle era and the arrival of trains, it is only a matter of time before they are conquered, and soon they will be able to sing and dance.
Who is the weakest right now?
It must be us!
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we are very familiar with this play!
In fact, when we say the Three Kingdoms, there are three powers in a tripod. Zhu Xianhai is just flattering himself. Is there a "country" with only more than 3,000 people?
The situation on the Pampas may seem like a three-legged tripod, but in fact these three legs are seriously unbalanced.
If Argentina's leg is an elephant's leg and Mapuche's leg is a cow's leg, then Nanhua's leg... well, it's just an ant's leg at most.
An ant's leg breaks if you touch it.
Nanhua’s strength is too weak and its living environment is too harsh.
But even so, Zhu Xianhai still wants to gnaw on the bones and take over this vast grassland for himself!
Drive the tiger to devour the wolf!
No, it should be said that driving away the wolf will hurt the tiger.
Of course this trick must be used! When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!
...I will definitely be the fisherman.
"Forming an alliance with them would be a good choice, but..."
After thinking about it, Zhu Xianhai said.
"I don't know what I have now to make them ally with me."
Forming an alliance requires capital. Take the current Nanhua... there are only a few thousand people, not even as many as a Mapuche tribe.
In this way, the Mapuche's leg is not a cow's leg, but a centipede's leg. With one leg per tribe, it is easy to be annexed.
However, using this centipede to drain Argentina's blood would be a good thing for me with no harm at all.
"you do not know?"
The Countess blinked her blue eyes and smiled:
"Don't you realize that Nanhua itself is an extremely special existence?"
"Extremely special?"
Zhu Xianhai frowned and said:
"Elizabeth, can you explain?"
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of milk tea, the Countess's rosy lips curled up into a charming smile.
"Historically, the first thing any European colonist did when arriving in America was to choose to form an alliance with an indigenous tribe. Otherwise, the colony would definitely not survive. This is also the situation that Nanhua is facing now. Of course, now you certainly can't form an alliance with a tribe like they did and join forces with them to attack their enemies. After all, the enemy of the Mapuche people now is Argentina and the Province of Buenos Aires. They are far more powerful than the Mapuche people, but unlike the Mapuche people, they will not tolerate Nanhua's independent existence on this grassland. Nanhua's fate is already determined - either it will be annexed by the Province of Buenos Aires, or it will remain independent..."
Looking at Zhu Xianhai who frowned and remained silent, Elizabeth knew that he would never give up Nanhua. This place was not only his "paradise", but also his hope and his home.
“This is also the situation faced by the Mapuche people!”
Zhu Xianhai said.
"Yes, once the conflict between the Argentine Confederation and the Province of Buenos Aires is resolved, the new Republic will certainly march to the grasslands, and the Mapuche will inevitably be defeated, expelled, and conquered like other Indians..."
This is also the reason why they have not conquered the prairie until now. On the one hand, the Mapuche people are tough, and on the other hand, Argentina is not yet "unified". The civil war between the so-called Argentine Confederation and the Buenos Aires Province has lasted for decades, but they will eventually unify, and it is even possible that the unification will be achieved in the hands of the "Minister of Military" who wants to kill people for money.
"There is not much time left for Nanhua."
When saying this, Zhu Xianhai finally understood the helplessness of the Chinese fans when they heard that sentence.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so forming an alliance with the Mapuche is the most advantageous option for Nanhua. The longer they hold out, the more time I have to develop.”
Looking at Elizabeth, Zhu Xianhai asked.
"So what are my advantages?"
“Advantages…Nanhua’s biggest advantage is that Nanhua has resources that the Mapuche people don’t have.”
“They don’t have the resources?”
Zhu Xianhai raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.
" Nanhua's biggest advantage is that it has commercial channels to connect with the outside world, which the Mapuche people don't have."
This is true. After all, Buffett has been developing commercial channels for the pharmaceutical business in Europe, and this channel can be expanded to other areas.
"Why did the Mapuche attack the settlements? They did not just want to assert their sovereignty, but more importantly, they needed to get what they needed through the attacks. They would steal the cattle, sheep, wool, and various silver and iron items from the settlements."
Enjoying the pleasant sunshine, Elizabeth said:
"Of course, it's hard to sell what they got through robbery here, because both the Buenos Aires Province and the Argentine Confederation had signed an agreement at the beginning of their independence that they would never buy any goods looted by the indigenous people. For this reason, after the successful attack, the Mapuche had to travel thousands of miles across the Andes Mountains and drive the cattle and sheep to the Araucan region, where they sold the cattle, sheep, wool and other goods they had looted in Argentina to the Chileans in exchange for various goods."
The Countess smiled:
"My dear, if you can take over this business, you will definitely become an ally of the Mapuche. If you can sell the looted goods to Nanhua, why would they travel thousands of miles over the Andes and go through so much trouble to transport them back to Araucan to sell to the Chileans? They will certainly welcome you to be their ally."
It turns out that it’s all about selling dirty things!
Zhu Xianhai's heart was moved. The Mapuche people robbed the Argentines, sold the stolen goods to me, and then I made money by reselling them... This is a good thing!
Not only can they gain an ally, but they can also get rich rewards. Perhaps the Mapuche people's robbery of Argentina can also become a booster for the development of South China.
Why not take advantage ?
After a slight pause and looking at Zhu Xianhai, Elizabeth continued.
"My dear, believe me, cooperating with them is the best option for you! Moreover, compared to others, you have the advantage of skin color. Compared to white people, your skin color is similar, so it is easier to gain their trust. Even Viedma and Carmen will no longer be a problem. As long as you want, you can let the Mapuche attack those two places at any time. Then, there will be no Argentine cities around Nanhua, and this place will become your territory."
The Countess continued, smiling:
"In this transaction, Nanhua will not only be able to obtain extremely lucrative profits and other rewards, but also, soon, your compatriots will have their wives. The Mapuche people will definitely take the initiative to send women to them to strengthen the relationship between the two sides, just like when the Spaniards first came here, the tribes that allied with them would take the initiative to send women to make the relationship between the two sides more harmonious."
Elizabeth's eyes became brighter, and she continued to explain:
"In fact, in South America, many white people are mixed-race. In fact, I also have Indian ancestry. My great-grandmother is Indian. Well, my mother is also one-quarter Indian."
Elizabeth's words made Zhu Xianhai slightly stunned. Looking at her sapphire-like eyes, and then moving his gaze to her body, it was no wonder that her skin was as smooth as cream, without the roughness of white people. It was probably because of this reason.
Well, maybe this is also the reason why Latin girls are so attractive. As a melting pot of three major races, South America is not short of beautiful women, with stunning faces and stunning bodies, plus their passionate and unrestrained personalities... It is definitely a man's paradise!
In fact, this is also the reason why Zhu Xianhai is unwilling to go to Europe. The women in Europe are not only dull and boring, but also have very pale skin, which is not as passionate as Latin girls.
While sighing, he looked at the woman beside him. Originally, her most attractive features were her beauty and her figure, but now the ability Elizabeth showed was completely beyond his expectations. Surprised, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Elizabeth, perhaps knowing you and having you is the luckiest thing in my life. I can't imagine what I would be like without you!"
Looking at Elizabeth, Zhu Xianhai felt that this woman was simply a gift from God to him. She not only understood Buenos Aires, but also understood Argentina better. It was also true that a woman like her who lived in the upper class must have heard, seen, and understood much more than other people.
The advice she gave was something that no other woman could give. She was definitely not just a soulless vase. In fact, with a face and a figure like that, it wouldn't matter if she was soulless. The problem was... she had a high IQ!
Because of this, the help she gave me was beyond the reach of anyone else. There was no other woman like her around me.
"I can't imagine life without you either."
Elizabeth glanced at Zhu Xianhai with her charming eyes and said.
"But I can't own you. After all, I am only a part of you! I am your mistress."
