Chapter 358 The Lost American Ambassador ([-]th update, please subscribe)
Almost at the same time when Zhu Xianhai ordered a general attack on Buenos Aires, an unexpected guest came to Zhu Xianhai.

"In the name of peace, please, Your Majesty, stop the attack."

Sitting in the train carriage, Henry Hanks, the US ambassador to Argentina, took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"It is for the benefit of the people of both countries, sir."

Then Henry said in a loud voice.

"If this war continues, it will definitely be a disaster, a disaster for the people of the Americas. We all know that Your Majesty is kind. For the sake of peace and for those innocent people, this war must end..."

Despite the sincerity and earnestness of the American ambassador's plea for a truce.But to Zhu Xianhai's ears, it was just a joke.

Is he letting the winners hand over the fruits of victory?
In the name of peace, it's just nonsense, don't you really believe it, kid?

Let alone the 19th century, even in the 21st century, no one would believe such a false reason.

"Mr. Ambassador, you should know that we are about to win this war."

Facing the high hat sent by Henry Hanks, Zhu Xianhai unceremoniously threw it on the ground, and even stepped on it hard.

"I once gave the Argentines a chance for peace, but they themselves missed that chance, the chance for peace, sometimes it's like this, once you miss it, it's gone!"

However, since someone came to mediate, we should give them some face, right?
Speaking fluent English, Zhu Xianhai said,
"Of course, we will not give up our hope for peace. If the Argentine side gives up resistance now, I think I will order to stop the attack!"

"Your Majesty, do you mean that President Sarnto needs to surrender?"

Henry Hanks frowned, and at this moment, he knew that Washington's thoughts were about to go to waste.

Unlike in the Paraguay War, when the US ambassador took the initiative to mediate, after the outbreak of the "Argentine War", Henry had no intention of mediating at all. Firstly, it was because of the limited influence of the US after the split. Secondly, he was very clear that the situation in front of him The king of Araucania and Patagonia will never cease fighting. His goal is by no means to defeat Argentina, but to annex it!To occupy!
Just like he did in Chile.

And this is why Washington will take the initiative to intervene. It is difficult for Washington to accept the emergence of a big country in South America that is bigger than Brazil. Even this big country is a country that is aggressive in industry. Such a country is simply a natural opponent of the United States. , or the enemy.

That's why Washington hopes to prevent its expansion by mediating, but... Henry Hanks is too lazy to complain about the politicians in Washington. Don't they know the rules of the international political game?
Just speak with strength!
What ability does the United States have now to prevent Nanhua from annexing Argentina?

Without any ability!

Until now, the United States has not been able to get out of the shadow of war and division. Is it capable of intervening in South American affairs?
It is precisely because of this that Henry Hanks, as the ambassador, ignored the secret telegram from Washington and used his own way to "mediate", which was actually just to pass on his voice.

What else could he do but deliver his voice?Let alone now.Even when the United States was not divided, its influence in South America was very weak.

Now the United States can see the threat of Nanhua's rise, but just look at it!

"I think this should be his only choice!"

Zhu Xianhai did not hide his goal, and now there is no need to hide it anymore. Since the British have accepted the fact of Argentina's demise, and are planning to do big business with Nanhua, why bother to hide their real goal?

As for America?

If it was a few years ago, we really need to consider the attitude of the United States.But the United States has not yet emerged from the shadow of the Civil War.

What is there to worry about in a divided America that is healing from the wounds of the Civil War?
No wonder the U.S. embassy in Paraguay was robbed by Brazilian soldiers, and the ambassador's wife was ravaged by Brazilian black soldiers.

What is it about the mysterious self-confidence that makes them think that they can mediate from it and "restore peace".

"Your Majesty, then you should know that he will not surrender!"

For Sarnto, Henry Hanks knew very well.Although he is a teacher, his meaning is more tenacious than many soldiers.

"He'll fight till the end."

"My army will also fight to the end. There is a saying in China that there is no hope until the Yellow River. I think he will understand this in the end."

Zhu Xianhai said with a smile.

This is strength!
The simple answer made Henry Hanks feel the gap in strength between the two sides. From the very beginning, he was running towards the set goal.

But Washington, apart from boasting, can't do anything at all. They can only watch as Nanhua annexes Argentina and gradually becomes the most powerful country in South America.

If you want to stop them, you must have the strength to stop them.

Too bad... America doesn't have it.

"Your Majesty, after you occupy Argentina, it will inevitably arouse the hostility of many countries, especially the neighboring countries. I think you are as wise as you, and you will understand that such a diplomatic situation is extremely important to you and your kingdom. Adverse."

"It's completely unfounded."

Faced with such a warning, Zhu Xianhai said in a firm tone.

"We all know very well what the rules of the game in this world look like-based on strength. For the weak, friendly neighbors can become jackals at any time, while the strong can make hostile neighbors extremely friendly. I Thinking about this, you Americans must know better than me, after all, "Thanksgiving" is your traditional holiday!"

Americans certainly understand!

When they came to America, they had no food and clothing and almost starved to death. They survived the first winter on the food sent by the Indians, but how did they treat their benefactors later?

In the name of gratitude, slaughter all benefactors!

Being kind to neighbors, that is, the result, is to be "grateful".

Would the Indians be so friendly if they knew that this is what happens as a friendly neighbor?
"Your Majesty, that is already a thing of the past..."

The exposed Henry Hanks had a slightly embarrassed expression.He never expected that the other party would mention this unspeakable past in the United States.

"The past is the past, but history will always enlighten the present. Mr. Ambassador, we all know very well that if Nanhua has no weapons in his hands and a strong army, then what awaits us is the same treatment as the Indians. The so-called The friendliness is just a joke. On the contrary, even if we occupy Argentina, as long as we have a strong army, then even if tigers and wolves look around, what can we do? Right, Mr. Ambassador, just like the Indians, Even if they are full of hostility towards you, what can they do? They are still driven to a desolate reserve by you!"

If you beat someone, you will be slapped in the face, if you curse someone, you will be exposed!
How polite you are to deal with these shameless things!Of course, he directly exposed them and slapped them in the face.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you have made up your mind!"

Zhu Xianhai replied straightforwardly:
"The die is cast!"

The dice are rolled and that's it!

Any educated white European or American is familiar with this Latin phrase that Caesar uttered when he crossed the Rubicon River.

"All right,"

Henry Hanks took a long breath and stood up.

"Then, I wish you all the best, Your Majesty!"

"Thanks, I think we'll meet in Buenos Aires soon!"

At this moment, the smile on Zhu Xianhai's face was in stark contrast to the disappointment on Henry Hanks' face.

"Maybe there will be a day."

Facing the loss of Henry Hanks, Zhu Xianhai smiled.

"soon!"

Standing on the platform, Henry Hanks silently watched the train go away, feeling a little lost in his heart.

"The world has been changed!"

It's just that this changed world is not familiar to him. Once upon a time, he thought that the politicians in South American countries had no vision. All they cared about was land and wealth. What country and future were not what they considered. Only personal interests are concerned.

But now?
Facing Nanhua's suddenly rising opponent, Henry Hanks felt extremely strange, not only because they should not have appeared on this land, but also because of the group of people who make up this country and the group of people on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Seems to be two completely different types of people.

How is this possible?
One side is ignorant and conservative, while the other side is good at learning and working hard.

Truth be told, Henry Hanks often thought to himself, he was just about the worst ambassador in the world.For God's sake, he doesn't like dealing with people at all.

Although he doesn't like dealing with people, Henry Hanks has to face the fact that in the near future, he will have to deal with this man on the train and a whole new country.

"After this war, maybe what we have to face is a brand new South America, and a brand new opponent..."

Looking at the train, Henry Hanks said to himself in his heart.

At the same time, he looked at the distance with a sentimental look, as if looking at this vast land.Finally, he whispered in an extremely sad tone:

"Argentina……"
