Why is civil society keen to conquer indigenous tribes?

Colonization is on the one hand, and the spoils of the conquest are on the other.

Once white people came to Europe, they could exchange gems and gold with Indian indigenous people by using glass beads. Such a business is addictive. Once the indigenous people have learned the lesson and no longer accept such an "equivalent exchange", violent plunder becomes The easiest and fastest way to get wealth.

Will is the most direct beneficiary of the violent method. After the Battle of Montana, the wealth of the Indians directly created a strong Barron family, which looks very American to Americans.

The indigenous tribes on the Jurassic Island may not be as rich as the American Indians, but the accumulation over thousands of years cannot be underestimated. The gold valued at $ 15 million is only part of Jimmy ’s trophy. More trophies are privately owned by mercenaries. Divide, although Far East Company does not encourage this method, but it is not forbidden. This is why the mercenaries are willing to cross the ocean to sell their lives for Far East Company. Otherwise, the salary of one hundred dollars per month is more than that of the miners in the Five Great Lakes mining area. Not much more.

Yes, the salary paid by the Far East company to the mercenaries is one hundred dollars a month. The "special allowance" that Li Mu and Livier talk about are all flickering. Even so, the cowboy gunmen who applied to the Far East company are still Endless.

Strictly speaking, the Far East company's mercenaries are also adventurers, but compared with the adventurous group composed of a group of hooligans like An Ying, the Far East company's scale is larger, the structure is more rigorous, and the combat effectiveness is naturally outstanding.

"I think I can finally understand why the development of the Steed Group is so fast. To be honest, I have regretted working in the oil industry." Rockefeller probably did not expect that the mercenary industry would make such money. However, Rockefeller was not jealous. Rockefeller is also a shareholder of the Far East Company. The 15 million US dollars also have a part of Rockefeller.

"Oh, you still have time to change your career, but this opportunity is becoming less and less, and the Far East may be the last virgin land in the world." Li Mu also lamented that life was a bit different, and the whole world was basically in the late nineteenth century. After being divided up, if Li Mu crosses into the 16th century, or even earlier in the 15th century, perhaps the name of "The Empire Does Not Fall" will be occupied by the Chinese.

In fact, compared with the Chinese, the Spanish and the Dutch are more injustice. The Chinese are fortunate to have been the boss for thousands of years. Although they are now downcast, at least their ancestors have been generous and their confidence is still there. As long as there is an opportunity, the Chinese can still stand up.

The Spaniards and the Dutch were too injustice. They opened up the era of great navigation and had the opportunity to form their own "sunset empire", but unfortunately it was a short-lived phenomenon. Since the "invincible fleet" was eliminated, Spain ’s national strength has deteriorated. Now Has fallen to the point of being seen and bullied.

The Dutch were once known as "coachmen of the sea". They experienced the "golden age", but were defeated on land by France through the "French-Dutch War" and at sea by Britain through the "Anglo-Dutch War". Then, the once-incredible East India Company was torn apart, and the huge business empire was only left with the Dutch East India, and it was also tragic to lick the English smelly feet.

This is the case in the jungle society. If you do not advance against the water, you will retreat. No one will say that God or God is unfair. Everyone has the opportunity. If you ca n’t grasp it, do n’t blame it.

"I find your luck is really good. Why don't we set up a treasure hunt team to hunt for treasure, for example, Golden City?" Rockefeller and Li Mu have been together for a long time, which is also whimsical.

The legend of Gold City was in the Inca Empire. The Spaniards conquered the Inca Empire. The Inca Empire plundered a large number of gold gems. By chance, the Spanish commander Pizarro heard that the gold of the Inca Empire came from a man named Patti. The Manoah nation ruled by the chiefs arrived, and the Manoa nation immediately became the next target of the Spaniards, and the tragedy began.

According to Pisaro's news, Manoa is located deep in the Amazon jungle. Manoa does not only have a gold city built of gold, but also a lake of gold. Compared to the city of gold, the legend of gold lake is more seductive. It is said that when the king of Manoa took the throne, he would throw all the gold and emeralds contributed by his subjects into the lake. As a thanks to God, this traditional ritual has been held numerous times. The value of gold in the gold lake can be imagined. know.

The problem is that Manoa is located in the vast and virgin forest. Every step forward means fear and death. There are poisonous snakes and beasts, unknown Indian tribes, and there is no clear path to find Manoa. The difficulty can be imagined.

At this time, the Spaniards were still full of adventurous spirits. Under the temptation of Golden City and Golden Lake, countless officially formed or privately-sponsored expeditions marched towards the virgin forests. The Spaniards, Portuguese, British, Dutch and Germans flocked into the Amazon jungle.

The expedition was nothing but a Spaniard named Kesada led about 716 expedition members. After paying a heavy price of 550 lives, he finally found the Golden City and the legendary in the plain of Condina Marga. Golden Lake, Kesada brought back $ 3 million in emerald gemstones, but this is only a small part of the treasure that is hard to value in Gold City.

After the location of Golden Lake was determined, salvaging of Golden Lake has not stopped since the 16th century.

In 1545, a treasure hunt organized by the Spaniards picked up hundreds of gold supplies from the shallow lake in three months. This discovery strongly supported the existence of the Golden Lake, so more explorers flocked. And to.

What Rockefeller is talking about is this golden lake in the Amazon jungle.

"I have a plan, we can form a professional expedition, carry enough drainage equipment, drain all the water in the Golden Lake, and all the gold and gems will be ours." Rockefeller looked right. The legend of the Golden Lake is not interested in one day or two. It even has plans.

It sounds crazy to drain the lake, right?

The problem is that reality is often more crazy than fiction. In another spacetime, in 1911, a British company did just that. This British company dug a tunnel to drain all the water from the Golden Lake, but the sun The thick mud was quickly dried into a dry, hard tablet, so when the British transported drilling equipment from the UK again, the lake was full of water again, and all the previous tunnels would be flooded. This time, the costly salvage In the end, it failed.

"John, your plan is too crazy." Li Mu had to admit that sometimes, he has his own limitations of the times. People in the 21st century probably cannot understand the madness of the 19th century.

"But it is very operable. You see, we are not short of money. We can set up first-class expeditions, and even drive away all other expeditions in Golden Lake. Your horse construction company has enough outstanding workers. We can even build the Niagara Hydropower Station, what is it to drain a lake? "Rockefeller was really well prepared. Maybe Junma Construction Company was the reason Rockefeller wanted Li Mu's partner.

"One problem, the Golden Lake is in Colombia." Li Mu was also a little tempted, but this is adventure plus treasure hunting. No man can resist this temptation.

Because of the Panama Canal, Li Mu is now on the blacklist of the United States of Colombia, so it is still a question of whether Colombia allows the horse construction company to enter the United States of Colombia. If not, the detailed details of Rockefeller's plan are also unavoidable.

"When are you so cautious? A Panama can make Colombia embarrassed. If the Colombian government dares to obstruct it, then we will change to a government that is willing to cooperate." Li Mu still underestimated the degree of Rockefeller's unbridledness, the question raised by Li Mu, It's not worth mentioning here at Rockefeller, it's a guy who dared to send troops against the strikers.

Li Mu did not dare to be so arrogant in the United States.

Well, in fact, Li Mu is not bad. To calm down the riots in the Five Great Lakes mining area, Li Mu also dispatched mercenaries, but not as bold as Rockefeller.

"That's it!" Li Mu clapped, and the two daring guys snapped.

But when it comes to adventure and treasure hunting, Li Mu immediately had a better idea: "John, can you find the Golden Lake? I have to say two more. I have a ready-made treasure here. Are you interested?"

Although there is huge wealth hidden in the legend of the Golden Lake, another time and space has not been confirmed until the 21st century. The Colombian government sent troops to block the Golden Lake in 1974, and no one was allowed to approach it. Legends really become legends.

Unlike the Golden Lake legend, in the 21st century, many treasures have been confirmed. Among them, the most famous and the most valuable are the Padmanabbas found in Kerala, India in 2011. Rice Temple Treasure.

Unlike the legendary Golden Lake, the discovery of Padmanabha Swami Temple's treasure is not accidental. It has been said that the temple has a lot of treasure in it, but the temple has a high status in Indian society. No one dared to dig. The discovery of Padmanabaswami's treasure originated from the maintenance of the temple. After opening the temple's underground palace, the wealth buried for more than a hundred years finally came back to the sky.

Officially announced that the value of the Padmanabha Swami Temple treasure is about $ 11.5 billion. No one knows the actual value. With reference to the corruption of Indian officials, the reference answer given by the Indian media is at least $ 20 billion.

This 20 billion US dollars is 20 billion in the 21st century. It must not be so much at the end of the 19th century, but even considering the depreciation of the dollar, the wealth of Padmanabbas Swami Temple is worth at least two One hundred million U.S. dollars.

It is already quite a lot. The GDP of the United States just exceeded US $ 9 billion in the previous year. Last year's statistics have not yet come out. Even if it reached US $ 10 billion, US $ 200 million would be 2% of US GDP.

"Two hundred million dollars-Rimm, are you sure?" Rockefeller was stunned by the numbers provided by Li Mu. It was obvious that Rockefeller's breathing was worsening and his eyes were congested.

200 million US dollars is a huge fortune. Rockefeller, as a billionaire that the US government has actually recognized, estimates that the total personal assets have not exceeded 200 million US dollars. The Junma Group claims to have a large amount of cash and wants Li Mu to pay 200 million US dollars. Come, Li Mu can't take it out.

"Maybe more than that. Now we have news that the Temple of Padmanabbas Swami has at least five tons of gold jewelry, and there are countless diamond jewellery. There is even an elephant made of gold in it, only five tons of gold. How much is it worth? "What Li Mu said is true. These are the official data released by India after the discovery of the Padmanabha Swami Temple in 2011. God knows how many have not been released. Demanaba Swami Temple has two underground chambers that have not been opened for more than 100 years. Only one was opened in 2011. The above treasures were found in one of the chambers.

The United States now implements the "gold standard", which means that the US dollar is directly linked to gold. One ounce of gold is worth about twenty dollars, and one kilogram of gold is more than seven hundred dollars. Even if calculated according to seven hundred dollars, five A ton of gold is also worth 35 million US dollars, not to mention that there is also an elephant made of gold. Rockefeller is really difficult to understand, there should be multiple elephants.

"It seems that we are not far from India here." Rockefeller felt a golden yellow in his eyes, and wished to go to India now.

"It's not far, but our two goals are too big. If we go directly to India, the British will definitely stare at us, so we need to find an agent." Li Mu will not go to India, even Padmanaba No amount of golden Li Mu in Swami Temple will go to India.

Jokingly, the health situation in India in the 21st century is worrying. Not to mention that in the 19th century, Li Mu did not want to be a victim of "biochemical weapons".

Besides, the relationship between the Steed Group and the British government is very bad. Whether the British government will allow Li Mu to enter India is two different things. The United Kingdom is not Colombia. Even if Li Mu and Rockefeller are tied together, they dare not challenge the authority of the British Empire. This kind of thing, it is like the heroic talent of Hitler.

"I can't wait anymore. Do you have any Indians? If not, I'll look for it, Padmanabbas Swami Temple, right? Let's buy Padmanab Swami Temple and think of something Dig just how you dig. "Rockefeller also knew that the British government couldn't afford it. If it didn't work hard, it would be soft. There would always be a way.

"Then you have to be careful. It is not a secret that Padmanabaswami Temple has treasures. Certain Indians must know that they have to get rid of the gold before the Indians respond." Li Mu is best at hiding behind the scenes operations. Only a fool will charge on the front line.
