Chapter 1840 Lima

With this deception, Yang Cheng finally fooled the general into agreeing to an intended order for 12 F15Cs. Although it was just an intention, Yang Cheng was confident that he would implement the order.

Because after saying goodbye to the general, he took Sanchez on the plane with him. He needed to get to Peru as quickly as possible.

Although the general was frightened in a short period of time, he would definitely investigate when he returned. Once he was sure that the news was fabricated, Yang Cheng would become an international fraudster.

Therefore, he had to implement this matter before the Chileans could investigate clearly, and he was prepared to repeat the same trick in Peru.

This trip to Peru was also inseparable from Sanchez's help. He contacted a Peruvian diplomat he knew in the past, who was responsible for contacting members of the country's military to have an emergency meeting with Yang Cheng.

The plane landed at Lima Airport, the capital of Peru, during a thunderstorm. The landing process was quite dangerous. It almost passed by the thunderstorm. It was dark again, and the plane landed in a heavy rain with a crosswind. This maneuver showed how stable and smooth it was.

There is no way, Yang Cheng's crew used to fly fighter jets, and their aggressive stance and style are no less than those of pilots from a fighting nation. It's not bad to do Cobra maneuvers without flying a Boeing 787. Can't land in a thunderstorm? Sorry, can't land does not exist in the dictionary.

Speaking of Yang Cheng, no one else is so lucky. It rains in Chile. When it comes to Peru, Lima is famous for its drought. There is not much rain in the summer. No, no, it should be said that there is not much rain throughout the year. , such heavy rain and thunderstorms are rare, but he dared to catch him. Sanchez even joked that Yang Cheng seemed to be blessed by God.

Because he had time, the person Sanchez was looking for did not come to the airport to pick him up, so he had no choice but to rent a car himself.

Of course, Yang Cheng didn't need to deal with these trivial matters. Someone quickly took care of them. After the ground staff went through customs, everyone got on the convoy and drove to the main city.

There is no expressway from the airport to the city, and it was during the evening rush hour. The road was quite congested, the traffic order was very chaotic, and most of the cars were very old. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain, the air would have been very bad.

Yang Cheng sat in the Mercedes-Benz and turned to look out the window. The vehicles speeding on the streets under the rain were mainly Korean and RB cars. The more common European cars were Renault and Volkswagen's civilian brands, and American cars were generally Chevrolets.

Occasionally, you can see a few Z country brands, and the number is not small. Basically, you can see several brands that are well-known to domestic people. However, judging from the condition of the cars, it is estimated that a large part of them are second-hand cars.

Anyway, on the road from the airport, it is difficult to see new cars on the street, and luxury cars are even rarer.

Like Yang Cheng and the others, the Mercedes-Benz fleet they rode was like a parade of kings.

Many vehicles voluntarily moved out of the way to avoid hitting the distinguished guests.

The terrain of Peru is quite strange. It has a long Pacific coastline and many cities along the coast are very low in altitude. Although Lima is close to the sea, it is the second driest city in the world and it hardly rains.

A little further inland is the Andes Mountains. The altitude goes up immediately. Many inland cities are more than 3,000 meters above sea level. Further in there are rainforests, especially the Amazon Basin in the northeast.

The airport is located on the seaside, and the hotel Yang Cheng booked is located in the Miraflores district, which is a wealthy area in Lima. It is also located on the seaside, so the convoy has been walking along the coastal road, and there is a cliff on the other side of the seaside. Buildings such as residences are on the mountain.

Compared with the bustling and bustling seaside areas in other countries, most of the seaside areas in Lima appear relatively desolate. Not to mention tourists, there are not many locals to see. Of course, it may be because of the rain, and everyone has fled. I went indoors to take shelter from the rain, and along the way I saw many construction sites with lights on. I wonder if they were building a beachfront hotel or a mansion with a sea view.

The convoy drove on the road for about an hour before arriving at the hotel where they were staying. Yang Cheng directly booked several luxury suites, so there was no problem of having no room to stay.

The lobby manager is personally responsible for guiding and helping with registration.

The thunderstorm came and went quickly, and it only took a short time for the rain to stop. Fortunately, it was night time, and the dark night could make the cool feeling after the rain last longer.

After checking in, Yang Cheng went back to his room to rest. The meeting was scheduled for tomorrow night. He planned to have a good night's rest, wander around Lima during the day, and fool people at night.

Originally, this trip was a business trip, so we could do both business and fun.

A night of silence. . .

Early the next morning, after Yang Cheng had a usual Western breakfast at the hotel, he got on the bus and went to Lima's old town. There were some historical buildings there, but it was far away from Miraflores.

Sanchez has been to Lima many times and can serve as a tour guide for Yang Cheng. Naturally, there is no need to hire another guide.

After listening to his introduction, Yang Cheng felt that Peru was an interesting place. Almost all cities have a central square, and each square is called the Plaza de Armas. Santiago, the capital of Chile, also has a Plaza de Armas.

The two squares are similar. Around the Plaza de Armas in Lima, there are buildings such as the cathedral and the palace, with a fountain in the middle. The cathedral was built in the 16th century, not long after the Spanish occupied Peru, and was later damaged by earthquakes.

The church is all beige in color, and the middle part looks very old, with a different color from the surroundings. The two bell towers are the most eye-catching, so you need to buy tickets if you want to go in and visit.

However, Yang Cheng was not a Catholic, so he naturally had little interest. He just wandered around outside. He didn't want to go in, but Sanchez and Yang Cheng asked to go inside the church. They had no choice but to go with him, regardless of whether they were Peruvian or Chilean. As a devout Catholic, I must go in and pray when I see the cathedral.

In terms of piety, Peruvians may be even more pious than Chileans. Since the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, Catholicism has continued to penetrate Peru and merged with the local primitive religion.

Peru’s mother of the earth, Mama Pacha, has become one with the Virgin Mary, so even in mountainous areas, locals who speak native languages ​​have many believers.

This has resulted in churches everywhere in cities and countryside, more than Inca ruins. Many churches are luxuriously decorated, especially with a lot of gilt and silver decoration, and they also have local characteristics in decoration.

Yang Cheng and the others bought tickets and entered the cathedral. As soon as they entered, they saw a picture hanging on the right with a skeleton on it. This was Pizarro, the conqueror of Peru.

Pizarro is quite a legend. He was a stinky hooligan with little education and, to put it bluntly, illiterate. After coming to South America, he conquered the powerful Inca Empire with a force of about a hundred people and relying on rogue methods such as kidnapping and blackmail. , Lima was founded by him.

But like many great figures, he later died in internal struggles.

There is a coffin hidden in the chapel at the entrance of the church. It is said that it belongs to Pizarro. However, in the 1970s, a skeleton was found in the basement. It was confirmed that this was Pizarro himself. Anyway, he died here.

The interior of the cathedral does not look luxurious, but the murals, sculptures, and decorations in several chapels are very beautiful. Even if you don’t understand them, it is pleasing to look at.

The wood carvings of the choir seats in the middle are also very exquisite. Below is the basement, where the bones of the believers were buried. There are also exquisite cultural relics on the wings. The interior furnishings are still very rich, and the ticket price is not expensive. It is good to come in and take a look.

After leaving the church, next to it is the General Palace, where the South American liberator Jose San Martin declared Peru's independence from Spain.

Nowadays, the location of the Imperial Palace has not changed. At 12 o'clock every day, a changing of the guard ceremony is held in front of the Imperial Palace. Many tourists gather outside the iron railings of the Imperial Palace to watch.

In fact, it is not interesting. Yang Cheng has also seen a similar changing of the guard ceremony in the UK. It is just a show and has no practical significance. The key is that it is not short and a bit boring. It is nothing more than a military band marching out with the accompaniment of a snare drum, and then They are guards. These soldiers are wearing distinctive uniforms, carrying rifles with national flags on their shoulders, and walking with their legs raised high.

The heights of the guards vary, and their steps are not very neat. Looking at them marching hard in the hot weather, it is a few grades worse than domestic military parades. Anyway, Yang Cheng will not waste time waiting here. Watched.
