This surprise attack team walked on the grassland for a month and a half, and Di Maria has been paying attention to Li Zhaocheng.

Di Maria discovered that Li Zhaocheng was a very approachable person. Every time he went to a village of Gao Qiao, he would communicate with people as an ordinary person, without any arrogant attitude.

He even feels more comfortable than others.

In Di Maria's eyes, the empire immigrants here feel a little alienated to them, the Gaucho people, but there is a comparison in everything. In Di Maria's eyes, this is much better than the Spanish and Portuguese who came into contact with.

"Dimaria, you seem to be observing me." In a camp in a village, Li Zhaocheng took the initiative to find Dimalia and said, "Is there anything wrong with Mi? You know my true identity. Your observation will make my subordinates nervous. They always feel that you are observing your prey and ready to do it at any time."

Di Maria remained silent: "What did you think?"

Li Zhaocheng smiled slightly: "I just think you are curious about me. I have seen this kind of look a lot in Shenjing and South Africa. When I was recruiting these soldiers under my command.

It was a kind of curiosity with desire, a vague restraint, but eager to try it out."

Li Zhaocheng knew very well that this was the result of his sending support for the founding of the Gao Qiao people, but he would not say it out loud at this time.

"Yes, sir, I'm curious, and also observing, observing the difference between you and other outsiders," said Di Maria.

"What is the difference between me and Sunbu and others?" Li Zhaocheng asked with great interest.

Di Maria shook her head: "You misunderstood. The other outsiders I mentioned are Spanish and Portuguese."

This made Li Zhaocheng even more interested. He asked, "What about your observation?"

Di Maria said: "The difference is very big. I have been to El Salvador once and have come into contact with some Portuguese merchants in Yizhou. In El Salvador, Brazil, white people from the Old World looked at us like animals, while some people looked at something strange, such as when I saw elephants in South Africa.

When I was in Yizhou, my boss once introduced me to a Portuguese businessman and praised me for my ability. Those Portuguese merchants looked at me, like a weapon, a knife or a musket.

And you are different from your subordinates. You look at us, just like we look at foreigners, curious and alert."

"What you said is a bit complicated." Li Zhaocheng said.

Di Maria thought for a while and said, "Then I will just say it briefly. You should look at us as if we are looking at people, and white people look at us as if we are looking at animals."

Li Zhaocheng was stunned when he heard this. Di Maria looked at him for a long time and didn't know what to do. Just as he was thinking about calling Li Zhaocheng's servant, Li Zhaocheng stood up.

He looked at Di Maria seriously and stretched out his right hand. Di Maria was puzzled, but he still held the hand full of friendship.

"Friend, I'm glad to hear you say this. You made me re-reach my father and strengthened my beliefs.

I will do better, and the empire will do the same." Li Zhaocheng said with a gentle voice, extremely sincere.

During his growth stage, Li Zhaocheng saw too much ugliness and sins, and sometimes he became suspicious of the empire's policies.

At least he now understands that the Empire's consistent policies overseas are at least different from those he thinks of evil white people.

This is also Li Junwei's consistent principle. The empire cannot do the best, but it must be the best within its ability.

"Then can I ask you a question, my friend." Di Maria took the opportunity to ask.

Li Zhaocheng nodded and Di Maria said, "I want to ask, in the eyes of you, those of the empire, are we, the Goggoo people, white or Indians?"

This made Li Zhaocheng a little stumped. He thought about it seriously, but finally shook his head: "I can't give you a complete answer. Even if I give it, it can only represent myself."

Di Maria smiled and continued to ask, "Then my friend, I will say this in another way. If the Gauchos were friends of the empire, then we were Indians.

If the Gauchos were enemies of the empire, then we were white, right?"

Li Zhaocheng finally nodded: "It makes sense to say this, but it is not that accurate."

Di Maria understood, he knew that if he really wanted to build a country of the Gaucho, he could only be friendly with the empire.

Unlike other Gauchos, Di Maria not only possesses nationalist ideas, but also has quite extraordinary insights.

Di Maria has been to many places and contacted many people. His usual hobby is also to read newspapers and has a simple understanding of the major countries in the world.

In Di Maria's eyes, this prairie uses foreign forces from the Empire, Spain and Portugal.

Except for the Empire, the other two parties did not regard the Gao Qiao people as human beings. Di Maria did not think that such people were worthy of their own exploration of cooperation, but should instead inquire about the attitudes of the Empire.

Di Maria asked: "Friend, I heard your subordinates say that the Empire intends to support the Gojo people in establishing their own country. This is the good intention you brought from Shin Kyung, but it is just a misunderstanding of some people."

Li Zhaocheng saw that the fish had been taken to the bait and said half-truely: "This is not the emperor's intention, but just a conception of mine. As for whether it can be practiced by Gao Qiao people, it is necessary to conduct more in-depth discussions with Shen Jing."

For Li Zhaocheng, this is another new topic and it is not allowed by the senior officials of the empire. However, as a child of the royal family, especially those who are determined to make a difference in politics, sometimes they need to lead the imperial strategy rather than just serve them.

For example, his father Li Junwei's external expansion was mostly outside the imperial plan.

For example, the empire's early expansion did not consider South America, and did not cross the Taibai Mountains (Appalachian Mountains) in the North American continent, and had never thought of reaching the Black Sea to become a European country.

But in actual operation, Li Junwei did this.

Li Zhao admitted that supporting the founding of the Gao Qiao people was a good choice to lay the foundation for the empire in South America forever.

There are various indigenous peoples distributed in the overseas territories of the empire, some of which were willing to accept, such as the Indians.

The skin color of Indians is not that big. The degree of civilization is backward and it is easy to assimilate. There is no civilizational barrier between them and the imperial nations.

But the indigenous people like the Goqiao are different. Just because they believe in Catholicism is incompatible with the empire.

Similar nations are quite large in the overseas territories of the Empire. Now the relationship between the two sides is in a vague state, but this vagueness will not last. Instead of a problem and solving the problem, it is better to prevent it in advance.
