The news that Chile had ordered four new battleships from China instantly caused an uproar in South America. Argentina and Brazil, in particular, are under tremendous pressure. The navies of these two countries are weaker than those of Chile. Now that Chile has ordered four advanced battleships from China, they have no chance of winning.

The governments of Brazil and Argentina sent envoys to Britain and Germany almost immediately, hoping to order new battleships to counter Chile. It's just that if Chile was the same before, they also hit a wall in Britain and Germany. Winning the two countries that are frantically building ships for themselves, there is no extra slipway to build battleships for their two countries. The two countries had no choice but to turn to France and the United States for help. Eventually, Brazil ordered four new battleships from the United States, while Argentina ordered four new battleships from France. They did not order battleships from China, presumably because China was selling new battleships to Chile, which was clearly supporting Chile. As a result, their relations with China are deteriorating rapidly.

This makes the Chinese side very depressed. Originally, the Chinese side leaked that Chile ordered advanced battleships in China in order to sell battleships to Brazil and Argentina as well, so as to make a huge profit. But now, Brazil and Argentina have handed over the orders for battleships to the United States and France, which has kept China busy for most of the day, but in the end it is empty joy!

Wang Yuze was also very depressed after learning about the whole thing. However, it also made him firm in his desire to support Chile and make Chile a South American power.

On the evening of 9 July, Wang Yuze summoned Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, Cai Yun, minister of the army, Zhang Cheng, minister of the navy, and Jiang Xingguo, minister of national defense, to discuss support for Chile to become a South American power. Now that Brazil and Argentina have fallen to the United States and France. Then it is absolutely necessary for China to support Chile to defeat them!

"Guys, if we support Chile to attack Argentina and Brazil, is it possible for Chile to win?" Wang Yuze asked.

"Your Majesty, we have recently made a comprehensive analysis of the military strength of the countries of South America. Chile is one of the well-deserved South American powers, and in the whole of South America, except for Brazil, it is estimated that no country can be stronger than Chile. However, Brazil is only dependent on a large population. The army is only stronger than Chile. In terms of the navy, Chile is still in the lead. Chile's navy is divided into an ocean-going fleet composed of cruisers, that is, the Chilean people's call 'aggressive fleet' and a coastal defense fleet composed of ironclad capital ships, torpedo hunters, destroyers, and torpedo boats, that is, the Chilean people's call the 'coastal fleet'. Thereinto. The "Enterprising Fleet" consisted of seven powerful cruisers, namely two powerful armored cruisers "Oykins" and "Esmeralda" and five protective cruisers "Admiral Branko Enkarada", "President Elasuliz", "Pinto", "Minister Zantenau" and "Chakabuko". The three ironclads of the Coastal Fleet are the Captain Platt, the Admiral Cochrane and the Huaasca. After ordering four new battleships from us, the Chileans named the 'Santiago class', the Chilean Navy will be much stronger than Brazil and Argentina. Even after the battleships ordered by Brazil and Argentina from the United States and France are commissioned, at least when it comes to coastal operations, these battleships are no match for the fierce and powerful 'Santiago-class' battleships! On the part of the Army. Chile now has 100,000 troops, equipment and combat power, and it is only a little weaker than Brazil in South America! Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, introduced to Wang Yuze.

"If, Chileans, accept our kindness. In what ways can we support them? Wang Yuze asked.

"陛xià. On the land side, we can sell Chile ten divisions of equipment. Anyway, there are still many weapons and equipment of the British and American expeditionary forces captured by the empire in the Middle East battlefield, and they can be disposed of to Chile at a low price. In addition, we can send officers to Chile. Training the army for them, and at the same time sending a group of staff officers. Establish an advanced army command system for Chile! If the situation of the war is really out of control, we can send mercenaries to participate in the war directly! War Minister Cai Yun said.

Wang Yuze nodded, the military thinking, tactics and command systems of South American countries are still very backward, compared with China and Europe, they are far behind. If China can support in this regard, it will undoubtedly make Chile have a very big improvement in this regard! When the time comes, it will not be difficult to defeat Brazil and Argentina by defeating the weak!

"In terms of the navy, the Chilean Navy will have a great increase in the strength of the navy after it has four new battleships. However, almost all of these four battleships are designed for coastal operations, and their center of gravity is too high, and once they encounter too much wind and waves, they will not be able to exert their combat power. If the Empire really intends to fully support Chile, we can ask Chile to buy us another batch of heavy and light cruisers, as well as destroyers. The number doesn't need to be too much, two 'Chengdu-class' heavy cruisers plus five 'Tianshui-class' light cruisers, and ten 'Dujiangyan-class' destroyers that we used before are completely fine. Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said.

"Two heavy cruisers, five light cruisers and 10 destroyers, which is also not a small number! Will the Chileans say yes? Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo said suspiciously. You must know that when Chileans buy 'Santiago-class' battleships, they use minerals to offset the funds for the purchase of ships. It's hard to say whether they will take the money to buy so many ships.

"These warships, we can also let them pay for them with minerals. Anyway, the Chileans have no shortage of minerals. If the Chileans really have ambitions for South America, they will accept our kindness! Emperor Wang Yuze said with great certainty!

"Wu Hao, inform the Chilean envoy and the Chilean ambassador to China, I will meet them tomorrow!" Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Hao, the chief of the guard, immediately received the order, and at the same time immediately sent someone to the Chilean Embassy in China to deliver Wang Yuze's summoning order!

At 9 o'clock in the evening of the same day, the Chilean embassy received a message that the Chinese emperor Wang Yuze wanted to summon Chilean envoy Eduardo and Chilean ambassador to China Patricio. Wang Yuze's summons surprised them very much. The status of the emperor of China is noble, and even the ambassadors of ordinary powers to China are not so easy to see. Even Patricio, the Chilean ambassador to China, was summoned by Wang Yuze when he came to China two years ago to take up his post. Now, Wang Yuze took the initiative to summon them, which made them all a little flattered.

At the same time, they couldn't figure out why Wang Yuze summoned them. Could it be that Chile ordered four advanced battleships from China? However, this is not enough for Wang Yuze to summon them!

Although they were very puzzled, Chile's special envoy, Lieutenant Colonel Adevaldo, and Chilean Ambassador to China Patricio rushed to Xinhua Palace at 8:30 the next morning, and Wang Yuze set a time for 9 a.m. to summon them.

"I've seen His Majesty the Emperor of China!" In Wang Yuze's study, after Adevaldo and Patricio saw Wang Yuze, they both leaned over and saluted Wang Yuze. For this young legendary emperor, they are also very admired!

"Two of you are exempt!" Wang Yuze said. At the same time, let them sit on the sofa in the study.

"Your Excellency Special Envoy, are you satisfied with this trip to China?" Wang Yuze asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I am very satisfied with this trip to China!" Adewado said quickly.

"That's good! Chile is an important country in South America, and the Chinese Empire has always attached great importance to the relationship between development and Chile! I hope that China will be able to maintain good relations with Chile in the future! Wang Yuze said.

"Your Majesty, maintaining good relations with China is also Chile's wish!" Lieutenant Colonel Adevado replied. At the same time, I also secretly guessed in my heart whether Wang Yuze summoned them to strengthen relations with Chile. However, China is a world power! Is it necessary? This made him very confused!

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, I heard that relations between Chile and Brazil and Argentina have been very tense recently, and there is even a possibility of war?" Wang Yuze asked.

"Your Majesty, the relationship between Chile and Brazil and Argentina is indeed very tense. However, we are all still relatively restrained, and if we handle it well, there will be no war. Chile, too, is a peace-loving country! Eduardo said.

"Chile is peace-loving? Fool it! Wang Yuze thought disdainfully.

"Your Excellency Special Envoy, if war breaks out between Chile and Brazil and Argentina, China is willing to give its full support to Chile to win the war!" Wang Yuze said suddenly.

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Adwado asked, surprised. Chile's ambassador to China, Patricio, was also dumbfounded, and he didn't know why Wang Yuze would say such a thing!

"As far as I am concerned, Chile is a powerful country and its territory should not be confined to the west of the Andes. This does not match Chile's national strength or military strength. Chile's eastward expansion, in my opinion, is very reasonable! If Chile has the will, China is willing to support Chile! Wang Yuze said.

Adewado looked surprised at first, but with Wang Yuze's words, it slowly turned into surprise, and finally turned into ecstasy. Chile has always wanted to expand outward, and if it can get the support of China, Chile's expansion is very likely to succeed! Adewado could barely believe what was happening in front of him!
