Chapter 401 The Strong Want to Bully the Weak (First update, please subscribe)
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when the news of the conflict between the escort fleet and the Brazilian Navy on the Paraná River reached Buenos Aires. repercussions.

Standing by the window, Zhu Xianhai took a Cuban cigar calmly, and after lighting the cigar with a match, he sat there smoking the cigar while silently listening to Sun Hu's report.

Then he walked to the desk with slow, soundless steps, then to the map, stared at the map on the wall for a while, and then turned unhurriedly to face the two soldiers standing upright , asked in a calm tone:

"If we had a war with the Brazilian army now, how sure are we of victory?"

Slightly restraining his eyes, Zhu Xianhai stared at Brazil on the map with cold eyes and asked.

"For now, the problem we are facing is that the provinces have not been completely conquered. If we invest too much troops in Paraguay, then it is likely to affect our plans in various places. For now, it is difficult to digest and absorb the victory The fruit is the most important thing."

It was Zuo Zongtang who spoke, and none of the officers spoke.

"Well, although the news came a bit suddenly, but the Brazilians have suffered such a big loss, what choice will they make?"

Zhu Xianhai raised his voice slightly and said.

"Brazil's military adventure with the fleet is now completely repelled by us. Next, will he choose military adventure or choose to negotiate with us? These are all issues we need to consider, but we must show Tough attitude."

None of the people around Zhu Xianhai raised objections.Because they all know that the Marshal's judgment on international diplomacy is extremely accurate.They all took this as a matter of course and an unquestionable fact: Zhu Xianhai knew much more than them, saw farther than them, and he was the only one who possessed certain information.

"The provocations carried out by the Brazilians may be an attempt to test our bottom line through some kind of military adventure. They used the fleet to stop us, not to drag us into the war..."

Zhu Xianhai frowned, and he had established an idea in his heart - don't give in to this kind of provocation!
"What we need is to resolutely fight back, let our fleet conduct combat readiness exercises at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, and at the same time, send another [-] people into the Chaco and Misiones regions, and if necessary, we can consider entering Asia." Person."

Apeçon is the capital of Paraguay.

Maybe Paraguay's economy has been completely destroyed during the five-year war, and the local people are poor and lack of living materials, but Zhu Xianhai doesn't care about these at all. Compared with any economic problems, he cares more about the local women.

It was not because Zhu Xianhai wanted to enrich the harem, but because after the Paraguay War, half of the country's population was adult women, and even the majority of the surviving children were girls, because boys were also conscripted into the battlefield. There were more than [-] people, most of whom were old people. Not only were the traditional elites of the society completely destroyed in this war, but the vast majority of adult men died on the battlefield.

What are [-] Paraguayan women to Nan Hua?
It is a treasure house to alleviate the imbalance of Nanhua's gender ratio!
In the next five years, women in Paraguay will be able to give birth to at least [-] children for Nanhua!
So, for women!

Paraguay must win.

"Then we are very likely to have further conflicts with the Brazilian army!"

Zuo Zongtang reminded.

"The Brazilians...they don't want to conflict with us at all. The Paraguay War has lasted for nearly five years. Both sides are exhausted. The coalition seems to be about to win, but in fact? To the point of collapse, the coalition forces are also full of disputes. The Argentines only left some troops to maintain the occupied area, and did not participate in the battle at all. The Uruguayans also withdrew. At present, only the Brazilians are still gritting their teeth and persisting in Paraguay. Lopez is being pursued in the remote and wild areas of the north, but the heavy military expenditure has long overwhelmed Brazil, will they start a war with us at this time?"

Shaking his head, Zhu Xianhai sneered.

"So, their military adventure was just to test, but they didn't expect that it would be the result now. What we need now is to show that we will never compromise, and we will not hesitate to fight. Now the Brazilians It's more difficult than us!"

Regarding Zhu Xianhai's judgment, everyone admits that his judgment is well-founded, but no one can ignore the risks involved.

After thinking about it, Sun Hu tilted his head back slightly, and said firmly:

"Commander, if we want to show our determination, then we should send more troops. We are in Linhai, and there are hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have just arrived. They have all received certain military training. Our original plan It is to use them as a reserve army. Since it is a display of strength, then we can deploy them to the border. If necessary, we can enter Paraguay at any time. After all..."

Sun Hu glanced at Zuo Zongtang, then said.

"It was the Paraguayan puppet regime that provoked the border conflict. We have every reason to ask them to give us a corresponding explanation. In order to avoid conflicts, our army should enter Paraguay. I think our reasons for entering Paraguay are sufficient!"

Everyone grows up, so does Sun Hu. Ten years ago, he was just a coolie who escaped from a gold mine. He had only studied privately for a few years. But now, he is already a general under the commander's command. As the chief of staff of the security team, he naturally knows what the commander-in-chief thinks.

The commander-in-chief's purpose is to capture Paraguay, and since this is the case, this reason is just right now.

As for what Brazil?
It's not a problem at all, just blame Paraguay for all the problems.Such a short sentence has actually decided the fate of Paraguay.

"We have good reasons to enter Paraguay, but Brazil still has tens of thousands of troops there!"

Zuo Zongtang frowned and reminded.

"When we go directly there, we must consider the threat of Brazil. It must be extremely unwise to tear faces with the Brazilians now, although the country..."

Just when Zuo Zongtang wanted to say that "although a country is big, it will perish if it is warlike", thinking of those "warrior" great powers, Zuo Zongtang changed his mind.

"Brazil is not our immediate goal, our current goal is to consolidate what we have won."

"That's true, but Paraguay is also one of our goals, as for Brazil..."

Zhu Xianhai looked at Sun Hu silently—after a while, he put the cigar to his mouth in a calm manner, and took a deep breath.Slowly paced back and forth in the room.

Finally, he stood still at the long table and said in a low voice:

"Protest to the Brazilian side and ask them to explain their fleet's attack on us. At the same time, you can also discuss with them the division of power in the La Plata River Basin. Since we are strong, we must have strong actions." group."

What is a strong man?Of course it is to bully the weak!In this era of the weak and the strong, weak countries themselves are at the mercy of mermaids...
