Chapter 210 Goal, Chile (first update, please subscribe)
1864 years.

This year, it seems that drastic changes are brewing.

This year, the Qing army captured Tianjing, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising failed.

Also in this year, the Pudan War broke out, and Prussia won the war again.

Also in this year, the Paraguay War broke out, and "South American Prussia" began to die.

However, now, the former obviously has no function.After Li Xiucheng's "Tianjing Victory" last year, not only did he severely injure the Hunan Army under the city of Tianjing, but even with the help of iron-clad ships, he went upstream and blasted open the gates of Anqing. While capturing Anqing, he regained control of the Yangtze River .

The defeat of the Hunan Army shocked the Qing government and the public, but it did not have the slightest impact on the world.

What doesn't change?
It is the latter two. Europe is too far away, but Paraguay is very close. Not only is it close, but it also has a direct relationship with Nanhua. With the situation in Paraguay deteriorating day by day, on the first day of May, Zhu Xianhai walked into In the big battle map room on the first floor of the security command headquarters just north of the garrison square.

"As of April, the situation had deteriorated further. Brazilian Imperial Minister Jose Salava arrived at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata on board a warship of the Brazilian fleet and demanded compensation from the Uruguayan government for the losses of Brazilian farmers caused by peasant conflicts on the border. Uruguayan White The party ruling authority rejected the request of the Brazilian government and immediately wrote to Lopez Jr. for help. Jr. Lopez then informed the Brazilian government that he was willing to act as an intermediary to mediate the dispute between the two countries, but the Brazilian government ignored his request At the same time, the Red Party rebels in the north of Uruguay began to receive direct support from the Brazilian army, and the Brazilian army even began to detain Uruguayan soldiers across the border. Considering that as early as last year, Paraguay had already implemented mandatory military service under the pretext of the Uruguayan turmoil, we have reason to believe that War could break out at any time."

Although Heisenberg was once a prisoner, it does not prevent him from being the deputy chief of staff of the Security Command. However, his name is now Feng Haisen. Of course, whether to be naturalized or not depends entirely on personal wishes, but if you are not naturalized, you can only be a consultant.

If you are naturalized, you are your own family.

They are naturalized people, so what about naturalized people.

America is a land of legends. Countless legendary people were born on this land. Many of these legendary figures are foreign immigrants. For example, the armies of various countries that were deeply influenced by Prussia were influenced by a group of immigrants from the German region Among those immigrants, there were not only ordinary farmers and workers, but also professional military officers. The second sons of Junker landlords who were unemployed or had no inheritance rights. After leaving the army, a considerable number of them came to South America.

Although many of them have served as chief of staff, commander and other positions.There are also many people who are just ordinary officers, even soldiers, who have used their lives to prove their loyalty in wars again and again.To put it bluntly, it is "the fanaticism of converts". As immigrants, in order to gain recognition, they often behave more devoutly and fanatically.

It is also because of this that Zhu Xianhai boldly uses these people. Of course, the more important reason is... no one can use them. After all, the military training school of the Southern Society has only graduated the first batch of students.

"How many troops are there in Paraguay now?"

Zhu Xianhai asked.

"After nearly half a year of preparation, as of February, Paraguay's total military strength, including the regular army and reserve forces, has reached 2. It is estimated that its current total military strength should be around 6.4. In terms of its population, it is already close to the peak. .”

peak?

What is the top!
After several years of war, 20 men died in Paraguay, and only [-] adult men survived in the whole country.

Unfortunately, the war will continue for several years!
When Zhu Xianhai sighed in his heart, Lin De said.

"We have intelligence that the Brazilian minister Salava is in contact with the Argentinian side in Buenos Aires and he seems to be lobbying Urquiza to reach some kind of compromise with Buenos Aires if they reach an agreement. If not, we will have to face pressure from the North."

As the head of the headquarters' intelligence department, Lin De was also from the "Eighteen Arhats", so his ability is limited, but his loyalty is absolutely no problem.

"There must be pressure from the north, but the reason why the Brazilians intervened was to join forces with Argentina to solve the Paraguay problem. On this point, it is easy for them to reach a consensus. Moreover, the attitudes of Argentina and Brazil are also affected to a certain extent. The influence of the British government fanning the flames behind!"

Zhu Xianhai sneered.

"With the British involved, it is only a matter of time before they reach a consensus. The outbreak of the Paraguay War should be inevitable. Now we need to consider the question, what is our position in this war?"

"Our position?"

Sun Hu asked a little surprised.

"What does the commander-in-chief mean? Let's stand over there?"

"Not over there."

Looking at Sun Hu, Wang Dewen, Feng Haisen and the others, Zhu Xianhai said.

"It is impossible for us to go to war with Argentina for Paraguay. As for support, Paraguay is a landlocked country. Even if we want to transport arms to them, we cannot transport them. So in this war, we can't do much, but this This war also gave us an opportunity."

"opportunity?"

In the astonishment of others, Zhu Xianhai pointed the wooden pole in his hand to the other end of the map.

"Chile!"

Feng Haisen, Bellucci and others were all surprised.

"The commander-in-chief wants to start a war against Chile?"

"It's not about going to war with Chile, it's about addressing potential future threats."

Zhu Xianhai said.

"Whether it is Chile or Argentina, we have direct field disputes with them. This kind of dispute is even far greater than the contradictions between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Once Argentina solves Paraguay's problem, coupled with internal problems If they subside, they will definitely turn their attention to the Pampas grasslands, and the same is true for Chile. Chile will neither tolerate the split regime in the south, nor will it allow us to occupy Araucania. In the foreseeable future, they are bound to end Form an alliance, just like Brazil and Argentina, join hands to fight against us, then we will have to fight two countries in two directions at the same time. The current war in Paraguay is an opportunity for us!"

A chance for revenge!
Once again, in Zhu Xianhai's mind, those who sacrificed in the long battle of defending the sea appeared in Zhu Xianhai's mind!Think of the youth who died in the war.

"We can completely eliminate the threat of Chile when Argentina is caught in the Paraguay War and cannot get out!"
