Chapter 314 War Is Killing (Second Update, please subscribe)
war!

When the shadow of war hangs over the Pampas prairie, the troops of Nanhua and Argentina are gathering, and the peaceful prairie is no longer peaceful.

On the half-deep grassland, thousands are gathering.The deafening sound of horseshoes trampled on the ground, and the soldiers carrying rifles marched resolutely towards the target to gather.

Whether it is Nanhua or Argentina, they seem to want to completely defeat each other through a large-scale battle.

This morning, a train drove into Xintai'an Railway Station. Before the train stopped, armed guards jumped out of the carriage. While they quickly took over the train, the telegraph operator had already connected the telegraph line to the telegraph line , But in just a few minutes, this special train regained contact with the outside world again.

"Where are the Argentine troops now?"

Standing in front of the map, Zhu Xianhai asked directly.

At this time, he was wearing a military uniform, and he looked no different from an ordinary soldier. The only difference was that his military uniform did not have a military rank.

"Trent Loken Town!"

Li Senger replied.

This artillery officer, originally named Heisenberg, was from Prussia. His experience is undoubtedly quite legendary. He was a lieutenant colonel of artillery in the Chilean army. Hua Nanhua official to deputy chief of staff.Such an experience is absolutely fantastic enough.

"Marshal, according to our actions, the Chilean army has turned to the town of Trent Loken, where they are trying to hit us hard through defensive operations..."

In Li Senge's explanation, Zhu Xianhai did not speak, why did the Argentines transfer the army to Trent Loken, this small town seems to be just a small town, but it has advantages that other regions do not have—— There is a railway between it and Buenos Aires.

railway!

And the unpaved railway distance between Nanhua and Trent Loken is less than forty kilometers. How close is this distance?It only takes a few days for engineers and soldiers to build a simple railway to connect the two places together, and then a steady stream of supplies and troops can be transported to the front line along the railway, and the army can also march along the railway.

This is the reason why Nanhua concentrated its troops in the Xintai'an area. The transfer of the security forces naturally led to the transfer of the Argentines, and both sides set their sights on this area.

"According to our intelligence, the Argentines have built a large number of fortifications near the town of Trent Loken, and they have also shipped more than 60 large-caliber artillery pieces. We have reason to believe that they are trying to use fortress defense to severely damage the Our army..."

When Li Senge's words fell, Gu Chengxun reminded.

"Marshal, according to intelligence from the Investigation Department, the Argentine side has summoned exiled Shanxi separatists in the presidential palace several times recently. We have reason to believe that once our army suffers setbacks here and the troops stationed in Chile are mobilized, they will There is bound to be a rebellion in Chile!"

After a pause, Gu Chengxun said again,

"The British ambassador to Afghanistan, Edward Thornton, also met those people."

As the head of the Intelligence Bureau of the Security Department, Gu Chengxun is not only concerned about military intelligence, but also pays great attention to other intelligence, and there are corresponding communication channels between the Intelligence Bureau and the Investigation Department.Information sharing between them is extremely smooth.

"If the British did not take any action, it would be beyond our expectations. By the way, there is intelligence from the Investigation Department that the British Navy has ordered at least two ironclad ships to Buenos Aires to express their support. ..."

Zhu Xianhai sneered.

"This is not to express support, but to prevent our fleet from attacking Buenos Aires. After all, we have a great advantage in the navy. The British side is worried that our ironclad ships will enter the Rio de la Plata, so , they will be the first to dispatch the fleet!"

The reaction of the shit-stirring stick in the UK is really fast!

Not only was the response fast, but the decision was also fast. Even on October 10, London made a decision, and then they immediately sent a telegram to the fleet stationed in Cape Town to help Argentina. The 3th century is definitely extremely rare.

This is because of communication, of course, this is the advantage of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and it is the secret telegram sent by the British Embassy through the Atlantic Telegraph that allows London to make a quick decision.

There is only one reason why London can make such a decision so quickly. The British have fully realized the threat of Nanhua, and they are trying to interrupt the development of Nanhua with the help of Argentina.

"What will happen if Nanhua is defeated or suffers heavy losses on the battlefield? First, Shanxi will launch a rebellion, and Nanhua's power will be dispersed. Then, Argentina will further mobilize troops to seize the Pampas grassland—— Tell me what you think, how to fight this battle? Say what you think and listen to it.”

Zhu Xianhai turned his eyes to several young staff officers at the side, and then asked one of them.

"Lieutenant Li Sijie, tell me!"

In the simulator, Li Sijie was a lieutenant colonel and the commander of the fortress. He died in the Linhai Fortress in 1877. After running out of ammunition and food, he led his men to launch the last counterattack and committed suicide. Now he is the staff officer of the command.

"Marshal, it is very simple to defeat the Argentines militarily. You don't even need to mobilize many troops to defeat them!"

Li Sijie's answer surprised Zhu Xianhai.

"Oh? No need to mobilize the army? Tell me what you think."

Li Sijie replied seriously.

"Actually, the reason why Argentina launched this war is basically based on economic reasons. Argentina seems to have gained a large area of ​​land in the Paraguay War, but in fact they lost more. What they consumed in the war The blood and money was equivalent to more than ten times the consumption of the entire Anti-Spanish War of Independence. They lost 20000 people in the war and spent 6000 million pesos. Under such circumstances, they naturally cannot ignore the huge benefits of the Pampas Grassland!"

Wearing a navy white military uniform, Li Sijie was extremely conspicuous among a group of army officers.

"Marshal, for Argentina, which is in economic trouble, this is an economic factor that cannot be ignored, [-] million pesos!"

Li Sijie specially emphasized that number, and then said.

"For the robbers, this is enough to make them try to seize the grassland with all their strength. As long as they seize the grassland, the rewards they will get will be extremely generous! Therefore, they will want to use the war to capture Pan. Pass Prairie, which is why they chose military adventure."

It is well known that Argentina is taking military risks for economic reasons.Zhu Xianhai nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue talking.

"If we just want to prevent the Argentines from getting involved in the Pampas prairie, then the easiest way is to set up a fortress. The Argentines took the initiative to attack us again. Use the fortress to severely damage the Argentine army, and consume Argentina through the continuous consumption of the fortress The potential for war, this potential is not just to consume the vitality of the Argentine army. There is also money. Compared with our current financial situation in Argentina, as long as we delay the war, Argentina will eventually fall into a situation of riding a tiger— Economic hardship will force them to end the war."

After expressing these opinions, Li Sijie said again.

"The most critical issue now is that we not only defeat the Argentines on the battlefield, but also eventually occupy the country!"

Looking up at the handsome man, Li Sijie said with a smile.

"Since we want to occupy this country, we must reduce future troubles, so all our plans are not only to win this war, but also how to annihilate the Argentines' vital forces, that is, to kill their soldiers as much as possible .”

As a soldier, Li Sijie spoke with the cold thinking of a soldier without any emotion.

"Just like what they did in Paraguay, only by killing their soldiers as much as possible can we minimize future resistance."

"What Captain Li said is different. If we kill and wound the Argentine army in large numbers, will it arouse hostility? This will definitely lead to hostility among the local people against us in the future!"

Zhao Yan who stood aside immediately retorted.

"At that time, what we have to face is hostility everywhere."

"What's the use of hostility? We occupy a place as an occupying force, can we expect others to welcome us?"

Li Sijie said directly.

"Since it is impossible to welcome us anyway, why not kill and injure adult men as much as possible during the war? This will reduce future resistance. After all, the main force of guerrillas will always be men. As long as men are killed, resistance will naturally be ineffective. It exists. Of course, we can’t massacre civilians like the Brazilians, but what we do on the battlefield is reasonable, after all, wars always inevitably lead to death.”

It is true that many people will die in a war. As for how to die?I'm afraid it will not be known to the outside world.But it is only natural for soldiers to die on the battlefield.

Li Sijie's words definitely reached Zhu Xianhai's heart. In fact, they agree on some points of view.

"Why is Paraguay's resistance getting weaker now? To put it bluntly, it's because the vast majority of men died on the battlefield. How can those women resist the invaders? ... They even don't hesitate to use Israel for their lives, Committed to the enemy bandits. To them, I am no big deal. To live!"

Lie Lie, Li Yunjie said with a smile.

"Since the women in Paraguay will do this, the women in Argentina will also commit themselves to my Nanhua man for their livelihood! So no matter how you look at it, killing and wounding the Argentine army as much as possible in the war is a benefit to the country and the people It's a great thing."

His words immediately caused a burst of laughter, and Zhu Xianhai of course smiled and remained silent.After all, on this point, their views are the same.

If the Argentine heard Li Sijie's words, he would definitely vomit blood with anger.They were just thinking about the Pampas prairie, but how could they have imagined that Nanhua not only missed their house, but even the women in the house...
