Opening game, American Tycoon

Chapter 254 Annexation also needs to be disguised (first update, please subscribe)
Who started the rebellion!
No one knows, at least on this day, in the early hours of April 1866, 4, when the "military coup" took place, the arrested ministers and councilors all stared blankly at Each other seems to want an answer.

As for President Peres, who is under house arrest in solitary confinement, he now knows the answer, and it was not someone else who told him the answer, but a diplomat standing in front of him.

"Military coup..."

Looking at Lawrence in front of him, Perez's expression was extremely complicated.

Once upon a time, he thought it was a military coup, but now it was a diplomat from the American company standing in front of him.

Isn't it amazing that the company sends diplomats, or "trade representatives"? Since the American Company and Russia signed the "Alaska Purchase Treaty" in 1862, they have sent "trade representatives" to Russia. Since then, They sent trade representatives to Britain, France and other countries respectively. This trade representative is basically the same as a diplomat.

Last year, the American company sent a "trade representative" to San Diego. In Perez's view, this was undoubtedly a signal that the company was determined to abandon Chillan's interim government. This must be a diplomatic victory. up.

But actually?
They have never given up their support for the provisional government. Even the existence of this trade representative office is just to better collect intelligence, develop an intelligence network, and send spies. In a word, it is for today's action.

"It never occurred to me that foreigners could send their troops over to carry out a military coup."

Facing Perez's "commendation", Lawrence laughed.

"Who would have thought of it? But this is also the reason for the success of the operation. Mr. President, the whole of San Diego is now under our control. Your congressmen and ministers have all been reduced to prisoners. Even if there are a few slipping through the net, they will It can't make any waves, and as for the civil defense team..."

Sitting on the sofa and looking at Perez, Lawrence smiled.

"Without the command of the officials, they are simply headless chickens. Resistance has no meaning! And..."

Looking at the time, Lawrence said.

"As we speak, the follow-on troops have arrived at the train station. The order of martial law will be issued soon. Whether you want to face it or not, Mr. President, Santiago has fallen. Soon, the whole of Chile will be occupied by us... ..."

In this regard, Perez believes that they are not exaggerating. Maybe he is not a soldier, but he has also fought as a soldier. After they launch such an attack, they will definitely send more troops to follow up. Only in this way can the results of the battle be guaranteed.

"Are you going to occupy the whole of Chile? Annex Chile like Araucania? Wipe Chile off the face of the earth?"

President Peres asked directly.

"If this is the case, believe me, there will be a decades-long war waiting for you. All Chileans will not be willing to be slaves to foreign rulers. They will fight, just like the Spaniards did against Napoleon. , against your occupation."

Taking a deep breath, Perez sneered.

"They are willing to fight to the death for Chile. As invaders, you are destined to be repulsed. Chile will surely win its freedom and liberation again! Please believe that every Chilean is patriotic!"

……

"You have to believe that everyone is real!"

On the parking tracks of an unnamed station on the north bank of the Obio River, sitting in the bulletproof carriage of the special train, put down the telegram in his hand.

Zhu Xianhai smiled lightly.

"Now, we have completely occupied Santiago. Tens of thousands of troops have been deployed to Santiago by rail, where the military embargo is enforced. As for the Chilean government, there is nothing to fear. Our plan has succeeded!"

Although the Chilean army led by General Chillán de la Cruz still has not surrendered, in Zhu Xianhai's view, the war against Chile has entered the next stage—from occupation to security maintenance.

"It's only a matter of time before General de la Cruz is defeated. His army has no way to retreat now, and the fall of San Diego means that he has become a lone army. There is no logistical support and no reinforcements. We only need to compress them. Then bombard them with cannons, and in the end, their failure must be inevitable, and what we need to consider now is how to really occupy the whole of Chile!"

Pursing his lower lip, Zhu Xianhai said.

"It is not difficult to defeat and occupy a country militarily, but it is extremely difficult to truly and effectively occupy a country. Just like Napoleon's invasion of Spain, the guerrilla warfare that lasted for many years made him finally have to face the war in Spain. The defeat of France, and even Spain becoming the cripple of the Empire, has caused France to shed a lot of blood, which we are doing our best to avoid."

"Marshal, isn't that why you support Bernardo Riquelme? A suitable puppet may be the best choice to reduce resistance."

Heisenberg said at the right time.

Supporting a puppet regime is indeed what many invaders like to do most, but what is their purpose?

"Our purpose is to truly annex, to make Chile a part of us! Instead of still maintaining independence, even in name!"

Zhu Xianhai shook his head and said.

"I won't do the kind of thing that is both a whore and an archway. Now that we have conquered Chile, we must completely transform it into a part of our own territory!"

"Boss, Bernardo Riquelme shouldn't be happy to see this."

For Heisenberg's reminder, Zhu Xianhai just laughed.

"He is not happy, what does it have to do with us?"

Zhu Xianhai shook his head and said.

"Bernardo Riquelme's mission has been accomplished, whether he likes it or not, when he sent his army to Santiago to help us carry out the occupation of Santiago and assist us in reducing the resistance of the people. The mission is done, as is Chillan's interim government. For us, their only use right now is to help us control the whole of Chile temporarily, and then when the time is right, they will become useless outcasts It's..."

In fact, it was when the mask was torn off, just like the use of Wu Sangui by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Until the occupation of the capital, people kept shouting "revenge for Chongzhen", but after they basically completed their occupation of the north?

Soon they tore off the camouflage!

That camouflage!
It's just a temporary wrap!
