C1027 Arms trade (1/2)
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.
