Opening game, American Tycoon

Chapter 229 Beheading Operation (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Chillan, June 1865. Inside the Provisional Government Headquarters, the former City Hall building, the atmosphere seemed a bit tense.

"Okay, everyone knows what's going on now,"

Pedro Leon Gallo, who sat in the first seat, frowned and said.

"Just a few hours ago, the company representatives informed us that they are no longer able to continue funding us! In other words, from now on, we are on our own!"

"Damn it, they see that we have no use value!"

"That's right, it must be that their railway is about to open to traffic, that's why they refused to fund us. Damn it, those businessmen have already said that they are unbelievable..."

All of a sudden, everyone in the conference room was talking about each other, and there were different opinions. Everyone was accusing the American company of treachery. Of course, they also had their own calculations in their hearts, and the core issue was—— How long can they last.

In fact, the American company will give up their support for a while.

It's no secret.

The reason why the American Company or the King of South China initially supported them was to contain Santiago and gain time.

In the past four years, they have been building the railway day and night. After the railway is completed and Nanhua and Araucania are connected as one, the company's assistance may be suspended.

In the past, they were able to persist because of the arms and other supplies provided by the company. Without the military assistance provided by the company, they would not have been able to persist for four years.

In the four years of civil war, both sides lost more than [-] troops.Of course, as politicians, they don't care about this at all. Compared with the death of ordinary soldiers, these politicians care more about their power.

And now, their power seems to be coming to an end!

"We have to lobby the company to keep funding us no matter what!"

Pedro Leon Gallo stood up and said.

"If we want to convince them, we must give them reasons to support us. We must use our actions to tell them that we are capable and will definitely be able to capture Santiago! So, just two hours ago, I ordered the Minister of War Go to the front line in person and urge the army to launch an attack on San Diego, we will concentrate all our forces to completely defeat San Diego!"

During the meeting, Major Saniatu, who was outside the temporary government headquarters building, looked at the conference room quietly, and occasionally, he would look at the pocket watch in his hand.

Time is passing by little by little.

"God bless all..."

Almost at the moment when Major Saniatu's voice fell, suddenly, several loud bangs sounded from the meeting room, and the smoke and flames of the explosion sprayed out from the window, and the windows and glass shards even flew tens of meters away. .

"..."

Even though he had been prepared for a long time, Major Saniatu was still dumbfounded. The bomb was too powerful.

Amid the horrified shouts, Major Sanyatu fled the government headquarters in a hurry, but he did not escape far. Just as he was about to escape from the city, he was arrested outside the city. The watchmaker was also arrested at the same time. Alfred.

However, this seems to be too late.

Their bombs killed almost all the high-ranking officials of the Provisional Government, and chaos, almost inevitably, unfolded in Chillan City.

When the explosion happened, outside the city of Curico in the north of Chillan, a troop was marching towards the north. Both officers and soldiers wore green clothes and white trousers. This was the uniform of the Chilean Southern Army. Among the marching troops, since There are infantry and artillery, and there are even more than a dozen heavy artillery drawn by horses in the artillery unit.

It was a 120mm Albanian siege gun produced by Nanhua. Last year, as part of military aid, six were provided to the provisional government.It played an extremely important role when it was sent to the battlefield last year. However, this kind of heavy artillery weighing more than 3500 kilograms is extremely inconvenient to transport on the battlefield. It needs as many as twelve horses to pull it, so it will only be used in siege warfare .

Now that six Albanian-style siege cannons appeared at the same time, one could tell without guessing that a big battle was imminent.

This [-]-strong army is the army led by Bernardo Riquelme. After leaving Curico, he has been a little absent-minded, not thinking about the upcoming attack.

Instead, he was thinking about another matter—why did Nanhua suddenly suspend aid, and what was the inevitable connection between this and the upcoming opening of the railway.

"Is that guy really planning to give up on Calvary?"

The "that guy" in his mouth is none other than Zhu Xianhai, and he is extremely dissatisfied with "that guy" now, not only because he has repeatedly refused to send troops to the north, but also because his sister Maria, Maria gave that The guy gave birth to a baby, so what?

They still haven't held a wedding. He doesn't care about the name of his brother-in-law. He cares about his sister's happiness. Is that guy going to let his sister spend his life as his lover?

"When Santiago is captured, no matter what, let that guy give my sister an explanation!"

Pursing his lips, Bernardo Riquelme looked at the north with anticipation in his eyes.

Take San Diego!

If he can take down Santiago, he will become the biggest contributor to the provisional government. At that time, what about the so-called "ruler" of Calvary?You can only watch helplessly as he takes over.

Military victory!

It is the best shortcut to the political arena, and all Bernardo Riquelme needs is victory. It is a pity that the population in the south is too small and the force is limited. Otherwise, how could this war continue four years.

"Anyway, it's all about..."

Just as Bernardo Riquelme was thinking about it, a messenger rushed over there in a hurry.

"Mr. Minister, Mr. Minister, a telegram from Chillian!"

But after a brief glance at the contents of the telegram, Bernardo Riquelme's face turned pale, and he cried out in surprise.

"how can that be!"

"What? What happened? General?"

Colonel William asked.

"Chilian..."

Bernardo Riquelme said anxiously.

"Chilian has been attacked! The government headquarters has been attacked, and the ruling and ministers are currently unknown..."

"What? Chillan was attacked? It's unknown whether they are alive or dead in power?"

Colonel William screamed.

"That's impossible. Did they grow wings and fly over?"

After screaming, he said again.

"General, we must immediately block the news, otherwise, it will definitely cause panic on the front line!"
