What can be used to stop it?
Like a critical strike, Perez became dumb for a while.

He opened his mouth and was unable to speak for a while.

What to use to stop them!

army?

But where is the army?

"Mr. President, we must rebuild the military!"

Perez took a deep breath and said.

"Now the barbarians are attacking San Diego, we must stop them, we must rebuild our army! I think this is the most important thing!"

Looking at Perez, Monte nodded.

"This is indeed the most important thing, but we need to re-appoint officers, train the army, and purchase weapons. All of this will take time. After all, in Araucania, we lost almost all of the army..."

When he said this, President Monte had mixed feelings in his heart.

"General Rodriguez, he... destroyed everything!"

After a long sigh, Monte looked at Perez and said.

"Now, even if all the politicians and military officers in prison are pardoned and appointed to form an army, it will take time!"

time!

Is there still time for Chile?
Looking at the helpless Perez, Monte said.

"Perez, you will take over as president in less than a month. I hope you can start preparing everything. As for the time... I will find a way to get it for you!"

"Mr President."

Perez looked at Monte inexplicably, and asked in doubt.

"What are you going to do?"

"Do my best to buy time!"

……

To gain time!

It's not just Monte who has this idea.Faced with the Indian invasion, all the rich and powerful in Chillan fled the city one after another. It is located on the only way to Santiago and will definitely be attacked by the Indians.

While the rich were fleeing, a man in his thirties came to the city center and Plaza O'Higgins, wearing an old-style military uniform, standing on a bronze bust of Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme, the father of the nation In front of them, they shouted loudly and shouted at the citizens.

Bernardo is the grandson of the founding father of Chile, Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme. Although his mother is an illegitimate daughter, this does not prevent his family from enjoying a high reputation in Chillan. After all, This is O'Higgins' hometown, he was born in this city.

Under his appeal, more than a thousand citizens faced the mayor and councilors when they fled the city, just as his grandfather O'Higgins appealed to the soldiers when he attacked the city. , he exclaimed.

"Follow me! Brave people, live or die, the honor belongs to you!"

When Bernardo led the defense army formed by the citizens, holding the old rifles in the arsenal, and building barricades on the streets in the south of the city, in a luxurious building on O'Higgins Avenue, a young and beautiful The girl with Jiefa sighed there.

"What a fool."

"Maria, what are you talking about?"

Said the more than fifty charming old woman in the room.

"I mean, my dear brother!"

Maria looked back at her mother, her beautiful face full of sarcasm.

"He thought he was going to protect the city, defend Chile, like grandpa, but in reality? He's just a guy who can only talk."

"Maria, don't forget, he is your brother!"

Rosa said.

"Perhaps, he is not as wise as your grandfather, at least he has unparalleled courage, but what about you? My daughter, what do you have?"

"I have the same wisdom as my grandfather!"

Maria raised her chin proudly, the sun shone on her face, and her beautiful face was full of confidence.

"At least Grandpa will never die in vain like him, he is simply dying."

Facing her daughter's judgment, Rosa opened her mouth, hesitated for a while, and then said.

"Maria, it's time for us to get out of here, don't waste the time your brother sacrificed himself to buy for us!"

……

I'm buying Chile time!

Standing on the barricade made of paving stones, tables and chairs, Bernardo Riquelme thought silently.

As the grandson of O'Higgins, he may not have inherited much property because his mother was an illegitimate daughter, but he has always believed that he has inherited the honor. He feels that to some extent, he and his grandfather are in common, His grandfather was also an illegitimate child, and it was not until the death of his great-grandfather, who was the governor of Chile, that he began to use his paternal surname.Even with his name, it is the name that Grandpa used to use.

Because his mother was an illegitimate child, he always felt that someone was laughing at him behind his back. Now, it was time to fight for honor with courage.

"Sir, are you afraid?"

Bunels looked at Bernardo and asked.

Looking at the child who seemed to be only eleven or twelve years old, and seeing his fearful expression, Bernardo said.

"I'm afraid too, but my love for the motherland makes me have to stand up!"

While speaking, he looked at the surrounding citizens and said.

"If we don't stop those Indians, then they will drive straight in, cross Chillan, and fight all the way to Santiago. At that time, our motherland, Chile, will perish! Gentlemen, by then we will be reduced to subjugated slaves!"

Taking a deep breath, Bernardo said excitedly.

"Gentlemen, we must fight, we must fight without stopping for a moment, we must use our courage, our will, to fight, to defend, to defend Chile, to defend our motherland!..."

When Bernardo was speaking to the soldiers, at this moment, he felt as if he had become his grandfather, and he seemed to see the scene where his grandfather was speaking to the soldiers when he liberated the city .

However, the people who listened to their speech at this time were not soldiers, but the most ordinary citizens, including whites, mixed races, and even some Indians with blank expressions. They were servants he brought from his own manor. He acquired the property of his grandfather, and many of the tenant farmers in the manor are Indians.

Back then, the army led by his grandfather was also such a legion!

"Although we have only such a few people, I believe that our courage and our fight will determine the destiny of our country."

The seemingly excited speech seemed to cheer up many people, but when his words fell, amidst the applause, Bunells, a young child holding a rifle taller than him, asked in doubt.

"Sir, can you tell me what is the motherland?"
