Chapter 1429: Hidden Dangers in Yun City
However, there is currently a hidden danger in Yun City!
The Spanish!
This place was once a colony of the Spanish, although the Spanish have already declined.
The glory that belonged to them has long since passed and will never return.
But a lean camel is still bigger than a horse; Spain still possesses large areas of colonies in South America.
Although they have declined, the Spanish still possess powerful strength after so many years of cultivation in South America.
As for the Panama Isthmus, this was once a very important colony for the Spanish, and it was only after the French and the British arrived and defeated them that this colony fell into a masterless state.
Until now, the Longyan have taken control, but the weakened Spanish have buried a great hidden danger here.
Some of the Indian tribes that were once enslaved by them have experienced the rule of three colonial powers: Spain, France, and Britain.
While suffering through hardships, they also absorbed their technological levels and infrastructure, achieving rapid development.
They have already formed relatively powerful armies.
A portion of these tribes, having witnessed the strength of the colonizers and having experienced the scars left by these colonizers, actually chose to collude with them.
They even consider the Indians living here in the Panama Isthmus to be their prey.
And although their own tribes are also Indian tribes, having experienced colonial rule and been influenced by technology, they consider themselves to be superior to others.
Oreo-style Indians.
Distinct from ordinary Indians, they feel they are noble.
They believe they are the leaders of this masterless land, so ever since the Longyan struck into the Panama Isthmus and occupied this area.
They have been hostile toward the Longyan and frequently launched wars.
This is an internal threat existing within the Yun City territory.
And the weakened Spanish outside of Yun City have always kept their eyes on this place; although the Panama Isthmus is a colony they no longer wanted.
But what are you Longyan, and by what right do you come here to occupy it?
Therefore, the Spanish are constantly coveting the Panama Isthmus, especially the infrastructure of the Panama Isthmus and the basic equipment factories of Yun City.
These are now things that Spain is very greedy for; although Spain itself has also undergone a technological revolution, its development is far behind that of the Longyan.
Thinking of this, Qingyang Shuo realized that whether it is the Indians living in the Panama Isthmus or those Spanish, although no major trouble has appeared yet.
But if it is not resolved, by the time Yun City is successfully built.
And the Panama Canal is completed, these hidden forces will suddenly strike, and at that time, the Longyan will have to pay a heavy price in America.
Qingyang Shuo recalled the news heard in Yun City a few days ago, that those Spanish frequently plunder the Indians here.
Let's start with the Spanish first.
"Pass on my order: from now on, Yun City will not allow any Spanish to pass through."
"If any Spanish dare to linger in Yun City, anyone may kill them first and report it later!"
Two orders were issued from Yun City.
Yun City quickly established a defense line and posted notices, ordering all Spanish to leave here within three days.
Otherwise, it means death.
In fact, there are not many Spanish inside Yun City; most of the people living here are Indians.
The Longyan are also in the minority.
The fundamental purpose of widely announcing these two orders is actually to tell the Spanish.
If you have the guts, come and attack my Yun City; we Longyan are ready at any time.
After doing this, Qingyang Shuo called the five great Indian chieftains in Yun City to the City Lord Mansion to discuss matters.
The management style of Yun City is still in its very early stages.
The City Lord has the greatest power, followed by these Indian chieftains; the relationship between the two is equivalent to the difference between a
Viscount and a Councilor.
However, Qingyang Shuo set up a veto power, the purpose of which is to prevent traitors among these Indian chieftains from proposing motions unfavorable to the Longyan.
Qingyang Shuo looked at the five Indian chieftains who had been summoned and said, "I called you here today because there is one thing I need to say."
"City Lord, please speak freely; we are prepared for anything."
Batu solemnly guaranteed.
He was the last Indian chieftain to submit to Yun City, and he had previously frequently harassed the construction because of the building of the Panama Canal.
Because at that time, in his view, the Longyan building the canal was destroying the environment of Panama, cutting down forests; this was destroying the living environment of their Indians.
Their Indians, after all, rely on hunting for a living.
It was only later that he discovered these Longyan could allow the Indians to live a better life, so he chose to submit.
Qingyang Shuo glanced at him and expressed affirmation of his attitude.
Qingyang Shuo looked at the remaining four chieftains and said calmly, "You should also know about the order I issued regarding the Spanish."
"I believe that before long, the Spanish will come to invade."
After saying this, Qingyang Shuo's eyes seemed to be able to see through everyone, his calm gaze sweeping across their cheeks.
Except for Batu, who showed a look of wanting to fight, the expressions of the others flickered and remained unchanged.
Qingyang Shuo took in the reactions of these five chieftains; these five chieftains had all come to seek refuge after hearing that there was food here after the Longyan built the city.
"City Lord, I am willing to request to fight to defend Yun City," Batu said solemnly.
Qingyang Shuo also knew he was telling the truth, but he did not answer him; he was waiting for the attitude of the other chieftains.
One of the chieftains, after deep thought for a long time, said, "City Lord, is there no way to solve the problem without fighting?"
"Our tribe feels that things are quite good now; at least we don't have to live days of fear and days of not having enough to eat."
No one wants to start a war; war means people dying and chaos.
He did not think highly of the Dragon Flame, for the Dragon Flame had too few people here in America, and the majority of the soldiers were still Indians.
He did not think poorly of the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Flame army, but rather he did not think highly of the army formed by his own fellow Indians.
After he finished speaking, the other chieftains also spoke up boldly: "We also feel that things are quite good right now; there is no need to start a war, is there?"
When Batu heard these words, he was instantly furious; he was a man of impatient temperament and could not keep some things bottled up inside.
He was about to open his mouth to reprimand these shortsighted fellow tribesmen of his.
But he was held back by Qingyang Shuo at his side, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and stared at those chieftains who opposed the war, saying nothing.
Qingyang Shuo looked toward the other two Indian chieftains who had not spoken and asked: "What about you?"
The two men were silent for a moment, then both replied: "We do not know what to do."
Qingyang Shuo now understood the attitudes of these five people.
Two favored peace, two were neutral, and one favored war.
Qingyang Shuo nodded, looked at the faces of the five of them, his gaze like a Falcon, and began to question them.
"Have you ever thought about what you should do now if Yun City were to fall?"
