It is important to know that the production of saltpeter ore plays an important role in gunpowder, glass, food preservatives, etc.

So it had a huge effect on the new Roman military-industrial system.

Especially now that it was 1911, the long war was about to begin.

New Rome had to take this resource into its own hands in order to create value and limit other adversaries that might arise.

There is a saying about it.

Who controls the source of resources, who controls prices and markets.

And in the face of real power, the auxiliary role of the so-called local family in ruling is actually not worth mentioning.

Because this kind of assistance is more caused by factors such as the balance of interests of both parties.

And this kind of assistance breeds more ink greed and inefficiency.

Since New Rome had the opportunity to set its sights on the world's largest saltpeter mine in Chilean-occupied Peru, the first thing to do was to get players of this nature out of the game.

Therefore, Han Huaiyi instructed Wei Litao, who was in charge of this matter, to be merciless.

Late autumn 1911.

Many seafood in the Caribbean Sea is ripe.

After Wei Litao had dinner at Han Huaiyi's house, he went to his destination, Tarapaka, escorted by the A Regiment of the White Russian Guards.

In addition to the army, he brought with him a large sum of money, as well as a large number of attachés.

In addition, Jiang Wenwu also led the engineering team to set off to build a deep-water terminal in Arica, which was coordinated with the shipping fleet of I to reconstruct a new transportation channel for the export routes in the past area.

i's ships will transport goods to Guanaa via the Panama Canal.

New Rome will build a plant to process saltpeter in the interior of Cayenne.

In addition, Jiang Wenwu's team is also responsible for surveying other minerals in the area, such as copper.

The arrival of the armed group of giant merchants caused an uproar in the local area.

There is no one in South America today who does not know the toughness and horror of the PTR in New Rome.

But in contrast to the fearful local "aristocracy", the arrival of New Rome made many poor people happy.

Because there are countless examples in the past that New Rome will bring a lot of jobs to the grassroots labor force.

Having a job means having something to eat.

Since I'm here to do something.

Wei Litao refused any invitation, and the first thing he did when he arrived was to set up camp and divide his troops.

Scholars leading soldiers are not vegetarians.

According to the agreement between New Rome and Chile, the troops were stationed in three heavy companies in the largest mining area, and the troops were directly armed with the Santos family.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Litao made an appointment to meet the person in charge of the other party, Paes.

It's Paes, who is white and green.

He demanded that "New Rome will inject capital and manage the minerals directly, please clean up the local management team within a week, this is a bilateral cooperation and not a trilateral cooperation." ”

Everyone knows about Paez's humiliation in the Panama Canal Zone.

But Paes, who has a flawed personality and is not strong enough, still likes the woman, and Margaret changes her past high profile and hugs the thighs of the garrison as if she has changed her ways.

Even if she is an underground lover, she can't give up her local interests.

So the Santos family is still a participant to this day.

When Paes heard Wei Litao's unceremonious announcement, he recalled his promise to women, and couldn't help it...

"In a week's time, any private armed forces in the mining area will be attacked by us, and any force that tries to sabotage production and interfere with our operations will be targeted by us, so you don't have to intervene in this matter to avoid misunderstandings," Wei said. In addition, you and we would like to jointly inform you that anyone in the mining area will be prohibited from possessing weapons, and they will be punished as criminals if they see it. ”

Today's Wei Litao has a strong momentum and sharp vision, and he has presided over the development of the Penghu Islands and many administrative and commercial affairs in San Francisco, and he is already one of the most important aspects that Han Huaiyi can handle.

Paes was completely inadequate in front of him.

He could only report to his father resignedly.

His father immediately warned his son, "Leave that woman, for if you mingle with her any more, you will be directed against New Rome." People will think that your father is doing this. And for such a new Rome, is it difficult for them to propose to the Chilean top brass to change the commander of the garrison who cooperates? They will be able to do this with just one military-industrial order. ”

Then he asked Paez, "Once I lose my status and you lose your status, will she do this to you?" I thought clearly about my son, I raised you, and I didn't let you harm me. ”

This is also a ruthless person.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt uneasy, so he ordered his son to be confined first.

Then he personally dispatched troops to deal with the matter.

Of course, he communicated with Wei Litao before dispatching the troops.

Otherwise, if you cause a misunderstanding, you will be finished.

The Santos family is worried about possible changes after the arrival of New Rome, and their only reliance now is on the woman Margaret.

Margaret, on the other hand, used Paes's feelings for her as a foundation.

She appeased her and flattered Paes.

She thought that this would at least give her a chance to buffer.

She had done this work a long time ago, and she had sprinkled her money with many officers of the Paes system, making a large number of contacts.

Then she was also ready to obey the new Rome.

This is the brilliance of her, and in the face of any foreign force in the world, her steps will succeed.

Because everyone is trying to make money, isn't that what it is?

However, she had no idea about the workings of the New Roman system.

She doesn't understand that in a man's world, a woman of her nature can be abandoned at any time in the face of interests.

Her weapons are useless, because she is no real threat.

This difference in perception ultimately leads to tragedy.

That same night, the Chilean garrison suddenly came out to arrest many of the Santos family's backbones and pull Margaret out of Paes's residence, in the process, none of the officers who had received the Santos family's benefits foolishly reminded them.

This is the bloody reality.

After the completion of this operation, the garrison troops did not give up.

They tried members of the family overnight, liquidated their assets and continued to surround and disarm the family.

Then, at 10 o'clock the next morning, Margaret and the Santos family were declared guilty and shot them directly.

Margaret couldn't figure out to death why it was all of a sudden.

She cried out aggrievedly, she didn't understand why New Rome was targeting her alone.

This narcissistic woman has not seen the truth clearly at this point, will Han Huaiyi kill her for the sake of Bai Qi's reputation? Isn't this funny, does Bai Qi have a reputation? She was wallowing in her interests, but she was reluctant to let go when the new Rome arrived.

He even felt that he could help New Rome.

The wrong positioning of herself and a series of interests led to it, in fact, she killed herself.

And the day after this tumor was removed.

New Rome modernized the workers in the mines.
