The virtual light screen flashes.

In the square of Nanhua, the newly mobilized troops paraded there before marching to the battlefield.

With the belief of protecting their homeland and country, those young people who grew up in Nanhua actively joined the army. They were not only defending Nanhua, but also the homeland where they grew up.

[On January 1, 1876, in the face of the invasion of foreign enemies, after careful consideration, you declared the establishment of the Republic of South China. The defense of South China is no longer about defending the "American Company", but about defending the country of all South Chinese people and the homeland of the South Chinese people.



[In January 1876, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Italy and other countries successively banned the sale of military supplies, including warships, to South China on the grounds of "the human rights of European immigrants" and "maintaining the unity of Argentina". 】

[On January 17, 1876, Chile’s 30,000-strong army and navy launched an attack on Linhai City on the Pacific coast. The South China Pacific Squadron defeated the Chilean fleet in a naval battle. The Battle of Linhai began. 】

[On February 17, 1876, the South China Navy severely damaged the Argentine fleet in a naval battle.]

[Although the equipment and training of the South China Army at the beginning were better than those of the Chilean-Argentina coalition. In addition, South China had made sufficient preparations, and the solid North River (Colorado River) fortress blocked many attacks by the Argentine army. At the beginning of the war,

It also achieved some victories, but its opponents were two countries. The two countries far surpassed Nanhua in terms of economy and human and material resources. After the war broke out, Nanhua's disadvantages became apparent. With the increase in human and material resources,

Increasingly scarce, South China was unable to cope with a protracted war. Coupled with the naval blockade by the coalition forces, especially the embargo by European and American countries, it brought disastrous consequences to South China.]

[In May 1876, the United States stated that it would never tolerate "the American Company's actions to split Argentina" and stated that it would provide military assistance to it "in order to maintain the unity of Argentina." Its Congress issued a ban prohibiting the sale of military supplies to South China.]

[In July 1876, British banks provided long-term loans of 15 million pounds to Argentina and Chile. The export of military supplies including naval guns, steam engines and boilers to South China was prohibited.]

[In September 1876, Britain, France and Italy sold many of their warships to Argentina and Chile for them to rebuild their navies.]



[On October 24, 1877, in the Battle of the South Atlantic, the Nanhua Fleet, whose losses could not be effectively replenished in the long-term naval battle, lost its last warship, and Nanhua lost its sea control. 】

[In November, the Argentine naval and land coalition captured "Pingrong" and restored its old name of "Vedma".]

[On February 13, 1879, this long and bloody war had lasted for four years. Both warring parties were exhausted. When Argentina and Chile successively expressed peace talks, South Chinese European immigrants launched a rebellion...]

[On February 14, 1879, British and American warships bombarded Nanhua on the pretext of protecting overseas Chinese, and the Nanhua coastal fortress immediately counterattacked.]



The simulation is over.

"Fuck you, you fucking white guy!"

Zhu Xianhai cursed angrily and rubbed his head. This simulation made him extremely distressed and extremely angry...

In this simulation, he did not simulate his own death, nor did he simulate the end of the war. There was no ending in the twenty-year simulation.

But in the twenty-year simulation, every day and every night in the first fifteen years was written with rise and hard work!

In the next five years, every minute and every second, hundreds of thousands of Chinese people worked there to write the words of responsibility and sacrifice.

What Zhu Xianhai couldn't let go of most was that every stroke and every stroke was written with blood and life.

If you look carefully, you can be sure that every minute and every second is transformed into two words in the end - revenge!

Yes!

It's revenge!

Even on the virtual light screen, Nanhua City still looks like it is burning.

Burning with flames.

Never stopped.

This fierce flame is the Chinese people burning their own lives. They use sacrifice and fighting to light up the road to the future.

That is the path that belongs to the Chinese people.

It is also the road of revenge for the Chinese people!

Even though this was just a life simulation, Zhu Xianhai couldn't let it go, and his anger almost ignited his entire being.

Backstabbed by a white man!

In this era of "white people first", he is fully aware of the unreliability of white people. The last time he was stabbed in the back was when the white bodyguards he hired fled without a fight during the rebellion in Bueno Aires.

.

And what about this time?

Those white people simply staged a "Texas Revolution" in South America.

After going through countless hardships, Zhu Xianhai and hundreds of thousands of Chinese immigrants created such a large foundation in South America. They worked hard and struggled to turn the wilderness into a city step by step. The Chinese immigrants used their own efforts to try to make this city a reality.

They opened up their own paradise on a piece of land. But in this era of "white supremacy", those people could not tolerate all this.

I watched Nanhua's development flourishing, but I never imagined that it would end with a five-year war of resistance.

Even until the simulation is over, the war is not over yet!

How prosperous was Nanhua before the war broke out?

The direction of the industry has been determined, the new industrial revolution has beckoned, and talent training has begun to show results... A bright future is beckoning to Nanhua.

Originally, South China could stage a "rise of a great power". Originally, the Chinese could shock the whole world in South America and turn their attention to it!

Then... there was no more... It wasn't that there was no more, but a war interrupted everything!

What a fucked up outcome this is?

There is no problem with the theory, the problem is... the times have wronged the country!

"Hell, if you are not of my race, your heart must be different. What our ancestors said is indeed a wise saying! White skin can be relied upon, and a sow can climb a tree!"

In fact, it is like this in many cases. We are like pigs beforehand and are wise after the fact.

Why Nanhua introduced European immigrants? To put it bluntly, it was because of the demand for technical personnel. As a time traveler, Zhu Xianhai knew the importance of industry very well. While introducing immigrants from China, Nanhua also opened the door to European immigrants, introducing

A large number of scholars and technicians, of course, also attracted many ordinary immigrants.

There is absolutely no way around it.

After all, Chinese immigrants in this era were basically illiterate. If you want to develop industry, you cannot do without scientific researchers and technical personnel. Even running schools cannot do without experts and scholars from European countries.

Nanhua does not have thousands of "Soviet Russian experts" to rely on, nor does it have an ally to trust. If it wants to develop industry and science and technology, it can only hire experts, scholars and engineering technicians from various countries. While spending money to hire them, it also needs to introduce immigrants.

to introduce skilled workers.

By the time the war broke out, Nanhua's population of 860,000 included 630,000 Chinese, 120,000 indigenous people, and 110,000 European immigrants.

In the end, it was those European immigrants who stabbed him in the back and almost destroyed his founding cause.

Even in the end, the long-term resistance war fiercely defended Nanhua's freedom and won Nanhua power in the world, but what was the price of the war?

A generation of Nanhua youth died on the battlefield!

Nanhua paid the price of one generation in exchange for the right to survive on this land.

The long-term war has shaped this country, but it has also overdrawn the future of this country. Those young people should have played a more important role in more important positions. Some of them will be scientists, and some will

Become engineers, some people will become musicians...

But in the end, they all died on the battlefield!

That is the first generation of young people that Nanhua cultivated in ten years!

Ten years of work were ruined in one day!

Who wants to face such a result?

Frowning, Zhu Xianhai started brainstorming, thinking about sorting out the clues in the simulator.

A life simulator is actually a preview of upcoming events. It is not completely accurate, but it is more than 90% accurate, especially for big events.

In other words, if the content of this simulation scene is repeated in reality, Nanhua will definitely face a series of problems.

"First of all, the conflict between South China and Argentina and Chile is inevitable!"

This is obvious. Not only is conflict with them inevitable, even European and American countries will not tolerate a country dominated by Chinese immigrants occupying the most fertile land in South America. In other words, they will never accept an "inferior nation" in their eyes.

Rising in South America.

This is one of the reasons why they firmly sided with Argentina and Chile in the war.

Even racial reasons are the key. The reason why they support Argentina and Chile is because of their skin color and race!

In this year and month, it is so direct, so naked!

Especially the British shit-stirring stick!

Why did the Azerbaijan-Zhi coalition persist for four years? In the North River Fortress alone, facing the Gatling guns, barbed wire and heavy artillery in the fortress, the Argentine army suffered losses of more than 80,000 people. In the fortress in the Araucania region, Chile

They also lost more than 50,000 people, and only one Linhai was defeated. They fought for two years but could not capture it. The Linhai Fortress was even called "the fortress that will never fall" by the world.

For this war, they not only died a lot of people, but also spent more than 500 million pesos on military expenses and incurred an additional foreign debt of more than 60 million pounds. Most of them were owed to the British. Without the financial support of the British

, they simply couldn't hold on for that long. Even in the second year of the war, they couldn't hold on anymore.

In this war in which "the British provided money and Afghanistan and Chile provided talents", there was no doubt that the British had the last laugh, and they made a lot of money.

"Secondly, white people's discrimination against Chinese people is deep-rooted. Racial reasons made them stand in line from the beginning, and then ended up in the end. They were just trying to break the deadlock..."

Zhu Xianhai frowned and muttered to himself.

"It's not scary to take sides, the key is lack of strength! In the final analysis, this world must rely on strength to speak for itself! If they are strong, will they dare?"
