Not to mention 1860, even in 2020, the Negro River region is not very prosperous.

Of course, there is only one metropolis in the whole of Argentina now and in the future, which is Buenos Aires.

Without it, the population is too small.

The closest "city" to Nanhua is Bedma. It is called a city, but it is actually a town. It is also the capital of the province of Rionegro in the future. Even so, there were only a few tens of thousands of people here at that time.

In the 21st century, it is a "town", but now it is actually a "village".

In 1779, the Spanish sent dozens of soldiers to establish this "village" here, and since then it has become the southernmost border of Buenos Aires.

However, even if nearly a hundred years have passed, Bedema can only be said to be a population gathering area with a small town size.

Although it is just a small place, it has a series of products of modern civilization in the 19th century, such as telegraph stations.

At present, what is the most important function of Bidema for Nanhua?

It is not only a channel for external contact, but also the main procurement place for material purchase.

Among the materials purchased, the most important one is horses.

As the "representative" of the "Ameriga Company" in Bedema, Bailey Alfonso now has long been a celebrity in the city.

No matter who it is, if you buy more than a thousand horses in just a few months, you will become a celebrity here.

This is a big business of tens of thousands of pesos.

"Mr. Alfonso, is there any news about the Countess recently?"

Once again, Lieutenant Philip came to the Ameriga Company.

"Secretary, I haven't received a letter from my wife for a long time."

Bailey shrugged and said.

"You know, I'm just a little person, how could my wife remember me?"

He is worthy of being a servant of the Earl's family, and his best bet is haha.

Ensign Philip asked curiously:

"By the way, why are you buying horses here? If you want to buy horses, wouldn't it be more convenient to buy horses nearby?"

"The price of Bedema's horses is relatively low, so it's more cost-effective here."

Bailey responded to Philip helplessly. The lieutenant seemed to have been obsessed with his wife, hoping that it would not affect his wife's plan.

"Something is definitely wrong."

Once again, after leaving the company of Armelica, Ensign Philip murmured to himself.

As for what made him feel wrong, he couldn't say it.

More than a thousand horses!

In the past few months, America has purchased more than a thousand horses, and those horses have gone there?

It was not transported to other places by boat, but, according to the cowboys, they were not very clear about where the horses had gone?

And now they are starting to buy horses on a large scale again.

Why do they buy so many horses?

"You must check it out clearly."

He thought about it in his mind, after returning to the barracks, Lieutenant Philip thought about it and asked someone to call Romario.

"Corporal Romanio, I have a task to hand over to you."

Philip said, looking at Romario, dressed in a provincial military uniform of Buenos Aires.

"However, this mission is very simple, and it is no different from the past reconnaissance missions. However, in addition to changing to the indigenous dress, you also have to keep an eye on the Ameriga Company and stare at Bailey's movements. Do you understand?"

"Everything follows your orders, sir."

After Romario left the office and stared at the location of the Ameriga Company in the distance, Lieutenant Philip couldn't help but wonder again.

What kind of secrets does this company hide?

When Lieutenant Philip frowned and smoked with his pipe in his hand, the ferry sailing from Carmen across the river slowly approached the dock. There were not many passengers on the boat, but when the passengers got off the boat, two of them immediately attracted a lot of attention. After all, in remote places like Bedema, young and beautiful single women like them are still extremely rare.

However, although they made the eyes of the people of Bedema, everyone could see that they were thorny roses. Not to mention that these two women were dressed in very alternative cowboys, they even had revolvers around their waists.

Moreover, from the horses they held and the ornate saddles, it can be seen that the two ladies are definitely from wealth or noble. If Zhu Xianhai was here, he would definitely recognize that these sisters are the Beluch sisters who are "inconsistent with his horoscope".

"Sister, do you think Lieutenant Philip will help us?"

Looking towards the military camp, Malena's pretty brows frowned.

Her father was ambushed while leading the army to pursue the Mapuche attack, and his life and death were unknown. Three months ago, when she learned that her father was just captured and likely still alive, she wrote a letter to the Military Minister asking for their help.

But every letter from her is sank to the sea. Now Buenos Aires is completely trapped in a fierce political struggle. Who can still save her father?

After repeated failures in seeking help, Malena came to Bedema, Lieutenant Philip of Bedema, who was once a subordinate of his father. Of course, this was her last hope.

"If he doesn't help..."

After looking into the distance, Malena pursed her lips and did not continue.

"Then let's go and save my father back by ourselves."

Monica said in a firm tone.

"Look at his attitude first!"

Looking at the two girls in front of him, Philip opened his eyes wide and his eyes were full of surprise.

"You are...Malena! Monica!"

Surprised, Philip said in surprise.

"Why are you here? By the way, Major..."

When he said that, he remembered the major's experience. When the Mapuche invaded last year, the troops led by the major were ambushed. Not only did the troops suffer heavy casualties, the major himself was also unaware of life and death.

"Malena, why are you here?"

"Uncle Philip, Monica and I are here, I want to ask for help."

Looking at Philip, Malena expressed her intention. Of course, when she mentioned that her father was just captured and might still be alive, Lieutenant Philip said in surprise.

"What, the Major is still alive? Are you sure?"

"I have a letter written by my father, and the person I brought it with me is a businessman who has been in contact with Mapuche people all year round."

Marlena said.

"Uncle Philip, you were the person my father trusted the most. Now he needs your help to be free. I hope you can see the friendship between you and my father in the past and help my father get free. Now you can only help him, Uncle Philip."
