South America was originally a colony of the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal. The Kingdom of Portugal controlled Brazil, but other South America except Brazil were under the control of the Kingdom of Spain. However, after the outbreak of the South American independence war, the colonial rule of the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal in South America was hit, and the countries in South America became independent one after another. However, due to historical reasons, these South American countries were relatively poor, with only the three ABC countries, namely Argentina, Brazil and Chile relatively wealthier.

After the country became rich, these countries naturally had other ideas. They also focused on other South American brothers. Chile was undoubtedly the pioneer. However, although Chile was relatively rich, it had little advantage. It was very difficult to defeat its opponent without external support. So, after Chile's new president Manuel Monte Torres came to power, Chile began to prepare for the war. This also caused tension among Chile's neighbors. A round of arms race began to be launched in various countries in South America. However, compared with the Eurasian continent, the arms race in South America seemed completely a pediatrician.

Brazil has the largest population, with more than 8 million people, but the few are only more than one million. Even the two powerful countries, Argentina and Chile, have a population of only more than 1.5 million. It is conceivable how many armies can be afforded by such a small country. However, for the powerful countries in the Eurasian continent, South America is undoubtedly an emerging market. Many powerful countries have focused on these countries. However, the outbreak of the world war has interrupted

These European powers invaded South America's economic invasion. Now, after the war, the defeated countries lost a lot. Naturally, they could no longer pose a threat to South America. The victorious countries also shifted their energy to the country and ignored South American countries for a while. However, the Asian-European military alliance, as the winners of the world war, dominated the entire world after the war and formed a new world order. Although the South American countries are far away from the Eurasian continent, they do not want to be excluded.

At the Istanbul Peace Conference, South American countries also sent envoys to participate. However, the Peace Conference was mainly a slaughter of the defeated countries by the victorious countries. The envoys of South American countries were simply a so-called role and did not play any role. They just signed some irrelevant agreements with the victorious countries. Of course, once the victorious countries recovered, their attention would inevitably be on South America. Some knowledgeable people in South America also saw this, so they hoped to establish good relations with some powerful countries before the major powers invaded South America to avoid disasters. If they could use the power of powerful countries to expand in South America, it would be great.

On November 14, 1856, the land of China had entered autumn. The hot summer had passed, but China's industrial development was still booming. Driven by the automobile industry, China's industry once again began to grow rapidly. At the same time, large-scale overseas immigration also began, with the desire for a better life in the future. The people of the empire boarded a merchant ship and headed to the distant overseas.

Now, the people of the Empire are no longer afraid of immigrating overseas. After all, when people go to a high place, when the first group of people who eat crabs succeeded, the fear of the latecomers undoubtedly decreased a lot. At first, those who immigrated overseas all lived a good life. This naturally aroused the yearning of the people of the Empire. The Empire gained a vast overseas territory in the war. If these lands are to be developed, a large population will be required. Immigration from the empire to overseas has become the best way. It can not only accelerate the development of overseas territory, but also relieve domestic population pressure. It is undoubtedly a killing of two birds with one stone.

A passenger ship was parked at the port of Huaxia, the capital of the empire. A tall Western man in a suit and came down with a few follower passenger ships. The busy port, the passenger ships and cruise ships that transported personnel, and cargo ships, greatly shocked the Westerner.

"Is this the capital of the world's most powerful country? It's indeed very prosperous and worthy of being the world's most powerful country! If the weak Chile can gain the support of the Chinese Empire, we can dominate South America!" This Westerner, the full-power envoy of Chilean President Manuel Monte Torres, Mascaiano. This time he was ordered to go to the Chinese Empire to join the Chinese Empire, and it is best to let the Chinese Empire support Chile's expansion in South America. With the support of the Chinese Empire, Chile's expansion will not encounter too much obstacles.

"Hello, are you the special envoy from Chile?" A Spanish-speaking Foreign Ministry staff had been waiting here for a long time. Chile's plenipotentiary came to the empire and reported it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the empire's plenipotentiary to South America. At this moment, the empire has only one plenipotentiary to Sao Paulo, the capital of Brazil, in South America, and has not set up foreign affairs institutions in other countries.

"Hello, I am Mascaiano. I am on the order of the President to go on China!" Mascaiano hurried over. He was very humble. Even if he was greeted, he was just an ordinary staff member of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But even so, he did not dare to put on airs at all. After all, he is now standing on the land of the world's largest power! The population of this country is hundreds of times that of Chile, and the strength of the country is also hundreds of times that of Chile. Once this country is willing, he can crush Chile to pieces by gently moving his little finger.

"Hello, please come with me! I will take you to where I live first. Adults will have time to meet you tomorrow!" A hint of arrogance flashed across the faces of the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although he is just an ordinary staff member, there is undoubtedly a huge gap between the overlord of the world and these small countries in South America, which are not even known to many people. The staff member thought to himself that at his level, if he goes to a small country like Chile, he might have to get a minister or other official to greet him! This made him stand up very straight.

"Okay!" Mascaiano had no objection at all.

The Chilean envoy and his group were placed in a hotel opposite the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ten-story hotel made the leopards from Chile widen their eyes. The bustling city of China made these people feel like they were entering the city from the countryside. Everything they saw and heard brought them great shock. At the same time, it also made Mascaiano make up his mind to make the Chinese Empire and Chile have a relationship and let the Chinese Empire agree to support Chile. In this way, Chile will dominate South America and be just around the corner.

At the same time, Deputy Foreign Minister Fang Minghong is also reporting to Foreign Minister Wei Yuan about the visit of the Chilean envoy.

"Mr. Wei, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have sent the Chilean envoy to the hotel for resettlement. Do you think you are taking time to see them?" Fang Minghong said. As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, even known as the person who is likely to take over the position of Foreign Minister, he has become the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs second only to Wei Yuan.

"I haven't had time these days. Let's do it. You can contact them first and see what these Chileans are doing. Then I'm deciding whether to meet them!" Wei Yuan said. He doesn't care about a small South American country like Chile. After all, as the world overlord, the only other world powers that can be valued now are some of the world powers. South America is too far away from the Chinese Empire, in another corner of the Pacific Ocean. Moreover, these countries are very weak, and the empire and them should not be anxious.

"Okay, Lord Wei!" Fang Minghong nodded.

"By the way, does Chile have any specialties? I seem to have heard His Majesty the Emperor talk about this country." Wei Yuan suddenly said.

"Mr. Wei, this country has a very rich copper mineral resources. In addition, they also produce saltpeter." Fang Minghong said.

"Copper ore and saltpeter, yes, are these two minerals. These are important strategic resources! If you contact the Chileans, if they can provide the empire with a large amount of copper ore and saltpeter, if they have any requests, they can agree to them at their discretion!" Wei Yuan said.

Copper ore and saltpeter are both extremely important strategic resources. Especially after entering the age of firearms, this is even more so. The former is an important material for making bullets and shells, while the latter is an important material for making explosives. The Chinese Empire is vast and rich, although there is no shortage of copper ore and saltpeter. However, if you can hold as many of these resources as possible, it will undoubtedly help to consolidate the empire's world hegemony. In particular, the resources like saltpeter are all lacking. If the empire can control Chile's saltpeter, then European countries will not expect to get saltpeter. In this way, once a war breaks out in the future, the empire will have another way to block the enemy's neck.

"Yes, Lord Wei!" Fang Minghong nodded. From the perspective of the empire, he tried every means to control these important resources. Of course, for the enemy of the empire, this is undoubtedly a disaster! Calculate the important strategic resources controlled by the empire now, oil and rubber are undoubtedly at the forefront. Soon, saltpeter will be added, and some other rare minerals will undoubtedly make the empire occupy an absolute advantage in future confrontations, thereby increasing the empire's chances of winning in future wars.

In order to win in the future war that determines the fate of the country, the empire is naturally doing everything. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
