Chapter 290 Europe and the United States are double-standard dogs (first update, please subscribe)
In August 1869, a special envoy sent by Marshal Lopez of Paraguay came to Nanhua.

The special envoy came to seek help from Nanhua, but his appeal was destined to be fruitless. In fact, since the fall of Umaita Fortress in Uruguay in August last year, it marked that the Paraguayan War has officially come to an end. stage.Paraguay's defeat was only a matter of time, as we all know.

But the arrival of the special envoy also made Zhu Xianhai realize that time was running out.

"After the fall of the Umaita Fortress last year, it was a matter of time before the fall of the capital of Paraguay, Asuncion. On January 1 this year, the coalition forces entered Asuncion..."

When Qian Zizhuang mentioned the fall of Asunción, the corners of Zhu Xianhai's lips twitched. This was probably the most dramatic scene on New Year's Day—at that time, tens of thousands of Brazilian and Argentine soldiers immediately filled the hall. A small city, then looting, rape, and massacres filled the entire city, even churches and those foreign consulates were not spared.

What was the most dramatic scene?
It was the American embassy that was robbed, the ambassador and staff were beaten, the maids of the embassy were raped, even the wife of the ambassador was not spared.

It is you, the emperor, who is robbing!
When was the US Emperor so ashamed?

I'm afraid it will be just this one time.

The only people to be pitied were the Paraguayans who remained in the city, who, after their bereavement, were to be ravaged by war again.

"After the allied forces of Brazil and Argentina entered Asunción, the two countries fought for control of Paraguay, and the alliance between the two countries was declared to be broken, but the war did not end. Lopez moved to the forest in the east of Asunción to continue to fight with The Allied Forces of the two countries waged guerrilla warfare, and he is still fighting, but his defeat is inevitable..."

Qian Zizhuang paused, then said.

"On August 8, that is, 12 days ago, under the leadership of the new commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, the son-in-law of the Emperor of Brazil, and Prince Gaston, the Allied Forces set off again with 10 people. They called it the "March in the Mountains". The coalition forces then approached Lopez's temporary capital, Pirivevi, in the east of Asunción. After receiving the news, Lopez adopted an avoidance strategy, leaving behind a garrison of 20000 people. The garrison was full of teenagers and children. The coalition forces requested the defenders to surrender twice, but they were firmly rejected by the defenders, but the defenders responded heroically—"We were left to defend the city, either to defend or die in battle, and we will never be traitors." , and then the coalition forces began to bombard the city, and it took only a few hours to completely destroy the entire city. Because the commander of the Brazilian army, Joan Barreto, was killed by the defenders during the attack, Prince Gaston ordered Razed the entire city. Then the Brazilian army massacred almost all the citizens, and finally they ravaged all the nurses, and even sent doctors, nurses and nearly a thousand wounded to the hospital and burned them to death. According to surviving witnesses, Piri The blood in Vevey's streets is flowing like it has just rained!"

What a group of beasts!

Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart, but he was unavoidably "envious" of the Brazilians. They could solve problems in extremely brutal ways, but he couldn't.

It is the white people's own business to do it by the Brazilians, but if Nanhua does the same thing in Chile or other places, it will become "genocide against the white people."

Heartbroken!
Of course, Brazil's massacre in Paraguay also aroused condemnation from the whole world and Spanish-speaking countries in South America, but it was only condemnation.

"So, Argentina has withdrawn from the war?"

Zhu Xianhai said sarcastically.

"At least the superficial reason is this. After witnessing the atrocities of the Brazilian army, the Argentine government decided to leave the war completely. They first condemned the atrocities of the Brazilian army and then announced their withdrawal. Of course, we have intelligence that they The withdrawal is in response to our threat on the steppe."

Qian Zizhuang, who has many spies in Buenos Aires, of course knows the Argentine's plan very well.

"It's just to find a good-sounding reason to leave this war."

Zhu Xianhai smiled,

"Before that, they were riding a tiger. In the past few years, we took advantage of the opportunity of Argentina's involvement in the Paraguay War and continued to expand to the north of the grassland. Now they can finally withdraw from Paraguay, which means that our time is running out! "

In fact, thinking about it now, the surrounding environment of Nanhua is still good. When Zhu Xianhai came to Nanhua, the civil war in Argentina first made them overwhelmed. They could only watch Nanhua gain a firm footing. in the Paraguay War.

After nine years of development, Nanhua has already passed the time of wretched development. Although he has shown his minions in Chile, it is almost time to show his minions again.

But, is the time ripe now?
Thinking so in his heart, Zhu Xianhai stood up.He first flipped through the materials on the folder in front of him, then fell silent for a while, then walked to the window, staring at the bustling city outside the window.

Is now the time to make up your mind?

Just like that, staring at the city outside the window for a long time, he turned around, walked to the desk, nodded to the desk, and said.

"Do you think the time is right now?"

"Well, this is not a judgment I can make..."

Qian Zizhuang said directly,
"I think we still need a good reason, and my basis is that whatever they do in Argentina or Brazil seems to be acceptable to Europeans, like after the atrocities in Asunción, European countries are just protesting, even when their ambassadors are being robbed in Europe, their embassies are being robbed, and their wives are being ravaged, they just express their protests lightly. This kind of treatment is obviously not what we can get... ..."

People are more popular than dead people!
What a civilized thing we did in Chile. We never massacred anyone. If we wanted to kill anyone, it was just the indigenous people’s revenge. They were sent to Congo, and they even found local maids for them to serve their documents. Ju said that many people have already formed families with local maids, gave birth to children, and lived in rubber plantations with peace of mind. A happy new life.

But for this, the British, Americans, and even the Italians and Prussians have repeatedly protested against their own atrocities, which is ridiculous to the extreme!
Don't those people look at what the Brazilians did?
It's not that they don't look at it, but they just turn a blind eye!
