Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 2396 Central Valley (27)

"Boss Li, I don't need to say more about the importance of this batch of goods. It is a great achievement to deliver it to the place on time, accurately and safely. Someone will take over your debt-ridden company, and you will also get a large sum of money. Bonus. If you can’t do the above, you don’t have to come back, understand?” On the last day of January 1700, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a man in a shirt middle-aged man is talking.

The surroundings are completely silent, except for the sound of unknown insects, there is almost nothing.There are occasional fishing lights in the distance, which are the lights of fishing boats moored near the mouth of the river, but it highlights the surrounding silence even more.

The salty sea breeze blows.Boss Li looked up at the dozen or so men huddled behind the reeds and groves, looked at the cigarette butts that were turning on and off in the night, swallowed involuntarily, and said in a dry voice: "Director Lin, You all know what the North Pacific is like at this time of year. Isn’t this forcing people to die? Even if I am not afraid of Lao Li, the brothers on the ship are also afraid. Yes, those ports are not frozen all year round, but there are many floes on the sea , when sailing at night, you may collide with it, and it will kill you.”

"Debt can kill people sometimes." Director Lin's face suddenly became ugly. Although he couldn't see it in the night, Boss Li felt a chill that penetrated his bone marrow from his words: "Li Boss, you are also an old man who has cooperated with our bureau several times. Why are you so ignorant? Don’t worry, we will send someone to board the ship with you. The sea. Work hard, your wife and three lovely children are waiting for you to come back."

Boss Li took a deep breath upon hearing this, and said nothing more.He knew a long time ago that when he was forced to cooperate with the people from Mei's organization because of his gambling debts, he would never get off the ship again in this life.Those who live in the shadows are cruel enough to frighten even the most vicious.What's more, people from the State Intelligence Bureau are also involved this time. My grandfather, the two major intelligence agencies are working together. Is there any room for him to resist?

No way, I still have to bite the bullet and do it!After completing this vote, go to the countryside to buy land and farm.A man who has been surfing the sea all year round will eventually die under the waves.He has lived at sea for a long time, and he really doesn't want to lose his life at the end of the day and be buried in the belly of a fish-but, can these insidious spies really let him go?

Seeing that Boss Li was submissive, Director Lin didn't speak any more, but signaled the group of people in the woods to start moving the goods.The sailors on the ship were not idle, and they operated the pulley booms to help load the cargo.Boss Li watched these people's actions numbly, wondering if there were spies from the secret service among the sailors under him.But this has nothing to do with him, he has already resigned to his fate, the raging North Pacific in winter is much more vicious than any spy, let's talk about it if he comes back alive.

The cargo being hoisted onto the ship is heavy.Boss Li has done wet work for intelligence agencies several times over the years. He can tell from the shape of the package that it is a gun and ammunition. Even when lifting several long wooden boxes, he can feel the pressure of the gun barrel inside. The smell of rust—it’s a retired army artillery that I don’t know where to find, it’s really a crime.

Occasionally there are a few normal packages, and Boss Li can guess that they are daily necessities, medicines or canned food.These are the materials necessary for secret operations, and most of them are not called from the military material warehouse, but purchased in the civilian market, right?

Boss Li is not very clear about the secret coffers of intelligence agencies, and he dare not know.But he also vaguely knew that there were intelligence agencies involved in the trade between the Southern Cone and the Spaniards in Peru.Even in a remote plantation on Xinhua Island, there may be people enslaved by intelligence agencies working hard.In fact, Boss Li would not be surprised if someone told him that the General Intelligence Agency or the Mei Agency secretly planted opium poppies to produce opium painkillers.What can't these spy agencies do?

The only one that is fairly clean is probably the Gendarmerie Command, the Army's intelligence department.But maybe this is the illusion of Boss Li, because he has no contact with this organization, and it is normal to not know the dark side of others.But considering the history and methods of the Army's overseas campaigns, as well as its history of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries (in the form of an officer advisory group), this organization is probably not as glamorous as it appears on the surface.

They are all the same!Boss Li thought angrily.

The entire handling and hoisting work lasted for three or four hours.At four o'clock in the morning, with a wave of director Lin's hand, five intelligence officers who had changed into sailors' uniforms boarded the ship, entered the bottom cabin and disappeared.Boss Li was called over by someone from Lin, and after some reminders, he also boarded the boat frowning. Fifteen minutes later, the two-masted motor sailboat named "Dawn" pulled up the anchor, did not turn on the steam engine at the stern, but raised a few sails, quietly sailed away from the port along the river, and sailed towards the sea and go.

Director Lin stood on the shore, looking at the shadow of the sail in the distance, until he finished smoking the last cigarette, he called the rest of the heavy duty to get on the carriage, and drove towards a secret stronghold in the distance.The reason why the two major intelligence agencies joined forces this time is actually very simple, that is, they received a request for help from the Northern Kamchatka and Aleutian Land Expedition Team a few months ago, requesting to send a ship of supplies to Cedar Mountain in the Aleutian Land in the North Pacific. Fort, to increase the local material reserves.

The existence of Cedar Fort is a secret that must not be disclosed to the vast majority of people on the east coast and even officials—at least not for the time being.Therefore, the National Intelligence Agency allocated funds and dispatched personnel, and the Syphilis Patient Statistics and Investigation Bureau was responsible for obtaining weapons. At the same time, it used its own informants. Many supplies including guns, ammunition, medicines, canned food, and warm clothes were used to provide blood transfusions to the expedition team that was holding on to Cedar Fort.

The "Dawn" set off from the mouth of the Wa River in the southern section of the Central Valley, and even if it went badly, it would arrive at Cedar Fort in the Aleutian Land no later than the end of March.At this time, the North Pacific Ocean is indeed turbulent, and navigation is extremely dangerous.Although due to the existence of warm currents, most of the ports in the Aleutians will not be frozen, but there are a lot of ice floes on the sea, if you don't pay attention, you will be caught, resulting in the tragedy of shipwreck and death. So contradictory.

But who let things happen?The expedition team's request for help is very urgent, and it is the highest level. No one dares to neglect it, so we can only take risks. I hope Shanghai will have time.

Of course, these are not all of their tasks.In fact, two months later, a distinguished commissioner will arrive in southern Chile.He will carry the authorization letter issued by the Executive Committee and set off for the North Pacific Ocean, intending to meet the leader of the mysterious country that only exists in the secret file.As for what will be discussed in the interview, Director Lin and others at his level have no right to know, nor do they want to know.

This kind of thing, if you are not careful, will cause a commotion, and many people have no time to hide.Director Lin also had no other choice. He owed the big boss a lot of favors, so he could only bite the bullet and go out with the task.As for whether he will be liquidated by the angry members of the Founders Council in the future, he dare not think about it, and he is unwilling to think about it, just let nature take its course and resign to fate!

"Director, people from the army will come over tomorrow and ask about the distribution of weapons to the Spanish rebels. How should we answer?" After a long silence, a young man with glasses sat next to Director Lin and asked softly.

"These greedy people can't fill their desires. Those in the army have no good intentions at all. If we cooperate with them now, I'm afraid we will be kicked away in the future." Director Lin sighed and said, "I won't go to the station tomorrow. If the army staff members come, tell them that there will be a caravan going to Concepcion next month, and we will send the weapons to the people."

One of the "magical" things about the Spanish rebels is that the participants were mostly native whites, no mestizos or Indians.This may seem unbelievable to outsiders, but it is actually quite normal when you think about it carefully.Gein, according to the current East Coast policy, Mestizos or Indians are not eligible to stay in the New World, but as long as they have a brain, they will not choose to cooperate with the East Coast people-of course, it is not ruled out that a few people fear Against the east bank, so they took refuge in the east bank, but after all, they are still few-they are actually natural allies of the upper echelons of the Governorate of Peru or New Spain.

But lower class whites were different.They don't have much interest in the local area. Many of them are low-level soldiers, clerks, thugs or farmers, and their lives may not be very comfortable.How could some be satisfied that their life was even worse than that of the better-born mestizos?Therefore, under the promises, wooing, and bribes of the people on the east coast for many years, many lower-class native whites have taken refuge in this way, planning to fight back when the east coast army attacks Peru and New Spain, and win a future for themselves .

They were not fools. They knew that even if the people on the east bank defeated the Spanish colonial army—this was almost certain—they would not be able to effectively control and digest the vast new territory for a while, so it was inevitable to reuse the newly attached people.Some well-informed people even pointed out that the "Stability Maintenance Association" organization established by the East Coast people in mainland China, as long as they work hard to gain the approval of the East Coast people, they may become a certain enemy in the ensuing war frenzy. Members of the city's Stability Maintenance Committee have gained control of the city.Even if the people on the east coast gradually take back the various rights of these cities in the future and manage them directly by themselves, then only a few years will be enough for them to make a lot of money.Moreover, even if the people on the east coast want to stabilize their rule, they must absorb some local people into the government. So at this time, whether they have joined the Stability Maintenance Committee and whether they have made contributions to the new ruler has become a very important issue. Consider the indicators.

People are not for themselves, and heaven and earth are destroyed. These native white people are all so smart!
