"Is there anything happening recently?" After settling down, Wang Dali summoned the commander of the military station - a veteran from Livornia, and started a routine questioning.

"In general, everything is normal, and the station is not attacked by any enemy." The Livornian sergeant said carefully: "But in the past month, some Guarani people have often appeared in the nearby mountains and forests, which has puzzled me and also wary."

"Guarani? You can't make a mistake, are you? Where did Guarani come from here?" Wang Dali stood up and asked in surprise.

"It is indeed Guarani, I'm sure!" Sergeant Livornia said affirmatively: "I have had a long time dealing with Guarani in the north and are very clear about their situation. These people, whether in terms of language, clothing (Guarani is more civilized than the Chaluani, and wears Spanish-style clothing) or other aspects, are genuine Guarani people. I will never make mistakes in this regard. They must be Guarani people who have come from the north! And not only them, there are also a considerable number of Spanish and German combatants nearby, and the situation seems to be very bad."

"It's really not good!" Wang Dali also whispered, "Are the Spanish missionaries so crazy that they drove a large number of Guarani people to settle here? This is an unsettling signal! Sergeant, how big are these outsiders?"

"Not very big." The Livornian Sergeant quickly replied, "They often only have a few to a dozen people, holding a medley or a flintlock, but many people also hold weapons such as light swords and sting swords. I wonder where they got supplies from? You should know that the Chalua people nearby are also poor people who are miserable and poor people. They cannot afford to raise too many outsiders. I roughly counted that whether it is outsiders of Guarani or outsiders from the Old Continent, the number of people exceeds one hundred. Even with the two nearby populations, there is no 200 people, it is absolutely impossible to support the Chalua village."

"Maybe they were riding a canoe from the north and down the Black River." Wang Dali said with a guess, "Damn it! The Spaniards are so terrible that they can even appear in such a remote mining area. What do they want to do? Do you want to go to a full war with us?"

"It should have been a full war with them long ago. Sir." The deputy stationmaster of the corps and a young man from the Corps Fort suddenly interrupted: "The Spaniards still lived in the declining Middle Ages, and their spiritual level was corrupt and erosive. As long as we go to war with them, we will definitely be able to occupy the entire La Plata within three months!"

"Then what? What should we do in three months?" Wang Dali had calmed down from the shock when he first heard the news. He glanced helplessly at the passionate young scholars. He asked: "What if the Spaniards transfer a large number of troops and fleets from their homeland or Peru in three months? How should we deal with the resources that are urgently needed for domestic industrial and agricultural production? How should we deal with the shortage of materials and soaring prices caused by the war? How should we deal with the public dissatisfaction and social unrest caused by the outbreak of the war? How should we deal with the covetousness of other countries over our overseas colonies and even the local areas caused by our fall into war? Young man, can you answer me?"

"I..." The young scholars were a little speechless. "We can import and replace them from other countries, such as the friendly Ottoman Empire. They are countries we can trust, which will solve many problems."

"The Ottoman Empire is not omnipotent!" Wang Dali interrupted the young people mercilessly. In fact, he had long disliked these militarists, so he took the opportunity to scold them without mercy: "We are so close to the Ottoman Empire, and we are also a pagan country, which will undoubtedly make the barrier between us and the world of Christ. They may unite and even if they do not go to war with us, they may limit the export of materials to us, such as cotton, wool, copper, lead and tin, and other metal minerals. They can even instigate and indulge pirate ships in China to attack our merchant ships. Do we want to go to war with the entire world of Christ for this? This will cause us to be in great trouble, and will cause our overseas colonies to be lost one after another, and the local people will also face the bad luck of possible destruction at any time. Is this what you want, young people?"

The young scholars didn't speak anymore, but their eyes were still stubborn and unconvincing. In his opinion, this was all trouble that could be overcome, provided they won the war. They only needed to bet on the national destiny once, and the possibility of success seemed to be quite high - because the Spanish Kingdom was coping with the rising French on the old continent, so the entire country might be able to obtain unimaginable rich benefits for this. Yes. We only need to bet on that once!

Wang Dali walked around the house twice again in annoyed, then sat at the table, took out paper and pen to start writing a report. He felt that this important information must be informed immediately by the Executive Committee that the Spanish power had penetrated into the vicinity of the Corales mining area, which could be an extraordinary event. Originally, the people of the East Coast wanted to develop secretly nearby. Now it seems that it is obviously not possible, and Spain has set its sights on this position.

Thinking of this, Wang Dali was a little depressed. At the end of the autumn harvest at the end of May, the military headquarters recruited about 1,500 militias from Dongfang County, and then went to Dingxi Fort (formerly Triford Soldier Station) to join more than 1,000 regular troops, and then continued to carry out the second phase of the Qingqing Township Operation to the west, continuing to attack the Guarani people in depth. They did not occupy land or loot, but just to kill people, that is, to kill the vitality of the Guarani people and reduce their population.

So far, the battle should still be ongoing. Major Zhu Liang, who led the team, has sent back several good news. Each time, he destroyed several villages, captured several prisoners, and eliminated several resisters. The people in the country were naturally excited about this after repeated publicity of public opinion controlled by the state. But Wang Dali was very disdainful. He felt that these militarists were really looking for trouble. He pushed all the Guarani people to the side of the Spaniards, which was a big loss. Many Guarani people could obviously assimilate through influence education, so why did they have to kill there to be a piece of white land?

But militarists insisted that even if the Guarani people wore Hanfu, spoke Chinese, and actively received education, the indigenous people were indigenous people and were natural separatists and must be eliminated, which made Wang Dali, the universal school speechless.

In addition to the battle in the Yakui River Basin, the settlements on the east bank in the hilly area of ​​the lake on the west coast were not very peaceful. New Konisburg had long been besieged by thousands of indigenous people. Although they were unable to break through the siege guarded by militia and some scholars of the Guards Corps, the normal local agricultural production, logging, road construction and other work could not be carried out, and a good settlement completely became a frontline.

As for Hekou Township, Zhenhai County, which is adjacent to it, it has also strengthened its vigilance. Chang Kaisheng's First Army Company has moved its headquarters here. There are large areas of farmland, orchards, and deep in the two lakes canal nodes. At the same time, there is a major modern ship special factory, which is not important. Chang Kaisheng does not pay attention to it. If the modern factory is occupied by a group of native people, his chairman of the Standing Committee will be beaten to the end.

Although Xihu Township, the country's main agricultural production area, has also suffered sporadic attacks, the scale is so small that it can be ignored. The local militia can easily cope with it, which also made the people above feel relieved. After all, a low bunker agricultural base with 1,000 settlers has just been built there, and they don't want anything wrong at this time.

The northern Yazi Lake Basin is full of war. Unexpectedly, the relatively calm south has gradually become less peaceful. This is a headache. This year, the Executive Committee has increased its determination to develop the northwest region. The population of settlements such as Canyon Fort, Baichi Cliff Fort, Merlot Fort along the way will be enriched. At present, the settlement population of Canyon Fort has reached 1,800, of which 30% are old citizens. Currently, there are only more than 600 people in Baichi Cliff Fort, but there should be a group of them that have been regulated before the end of this month.

The 1,000 new citizens were set up to settle down; as for the Melo area, it was even more important. Although there were only more than 300 farmers from Hebei who were farming in the area, a road construction team with 2,000 men and women (half of Ming people and half of Polish and Russian female slaves) would soon arrive here to start building the railway. After the railway was built, they would settle down here. As for the Melo wall, another South African laborer with about 2,000 people came to build it.

So many people are distributed in such a vast area along the railway, and most of them are new immigrants, basically not receiving regular militia military training, and their combat effectiveness is basically five, which is a headache. Currently, there are only half a cavalry battalion (more than 330 people) here, but their inspection range is from the south to Ningjin Fort (with 800 settlers) and to the north of Fort Melo. The range is too large, and it would be fine if there is no enemy to attack. If an enemy attacks, they may be exhausted.

Just as Wang Dali's report was halfway through, several militiamen who went out to patrol suddenly walked in with a serious look on their faces, and the news they brought was also amazing: they captured an Espanyol and two of his Guarani servants in the mining area. They found several pieces of gold in the Spaniard's luggage. However, this news alone was not enough to move Wang Dali. The news that shocked him was that the Spanish actually had accomplices, and his accomplices and several servants had already slipped away with some gold ore samples a few days ago. It seemed that they had hurry back to report.
