PreviousBack to directoryNext
December 22, 1869.

This day should be the winter solstice according to the 24 solar terms, but in the southern hemisphere, December is summer.

As usual, it is another sunny day in summer.

This day may seem like any other day, but it will be an extraordinary day.

This day is destined to leave its mark in history!

Today, the citizens of Putrajaya seemed to get up earlier than usual. Whether they were poor or rich, they all got up early. People came to the 5th of July Street almost invariably.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines over the city, there are already three to five groups of citizens on July 5th Street. They gather on both sides of the street. People with complicated expressions are chatting there while walking into the distance.

Look.

It can be seen from people's yawns and dark circles that many of them did not sleep at all last night. Men and women, all were talking about one topic - the entry of the South China Army into the city.

Yesterday, the occupation forces authorities announced the news through a notice. When the citizens of Putrajaya received the news, they had mixed emotions and mixed feelings.

What does the city entry ceremony mean?

Means real occupation!

Although the South China Army had invaded the city more than ten days ago, the entry ceremony marked their control and mastery of the city, and also marked the true military occupation.

From then on, the city was ruled by the South Chinese!

Faced with this reality, people's emotions are complicated. While they are crying for Argentina, they are relieved at the same time - after the entry ceremony, their lives will return to normal!

This is of course a kind of prayer and a beautiful expectation of people. They are looking forward to that after entering the city, all blockades will be lifted, prices can return to normal, and life can start again.

The feeling of buying high-priced food is really uncomfortable. Moreover, they have been unemployed for a long time. During the blockade, they had no job and no income, but they suffered from high prices.

Now, these ghost days are finally over.

In fact, for the people who stayed in the city, some of them wanted to fight to the end as patriots against the invading forces. However, as the abandoned party, they didn't know if their resistance was worth it?

But one thing is certain, the price of resistance must be death.

And during the blockade, the invaders arrested so many people. They were just former soldiers, but so what?

They were taken as prisoners of war, and only a few lucky ones were released.

The resistance has failed, the president and the army have fled, why are they still resisting?

Argentina has perished, so their lives must go on! Moreover, many of them are not Argentines themselves.

It is precisely because of this mentality that the people of Putrajaya welcomed this day, full of uncertainty about the future of the people of Putrajaya, because in their view, Nan Hua's army is simply a complex of angels and devils.

While they were searching for soldiers in the city, they maintained good military discipline. They neither robbed civilians nor ravaged women.

But how will the South Chinese rule this city in the future?

With uncertainty about the future, people came to July 5th Street early to wait for the arrival of the Nanhua people.

At eight o'clock in the morning, both sides of July 5th Street were already filled with citizens watching the South China Army enter the city. Both sides of the spacious street were crowded with people, most of whom were women. Sarnto recruited their

Fathers, brothers or husbands, they either died on the battlefield, drowned in the Rio de la Plata, or fled to Uruguay, leaving only too many women in this city.

Now when women are talking about the ceremony of entering the city, their voices are more uncertain about the future. Many of them have lost relatives in the war. How will they continue to live next?

Women are fragile. They are full of confusion and even fear about the future. Many of them don't even know why they came to watch the invaders enter the city.

In fact, in the past ten days, many of them have had various opportunities to come into contact with the occupying forces. Some of them even became the lover of an occupying army in order to make a living or went to the soldiers for canned food and bread.

Selling their bodies.

Perhaps, their lovers are among the troops entering the city.

Maybe……

"God, I hope the days ahead will be peaceful!"

In order to maintain order, Putrajaya mobilized all the police - but there were only more than 400 policemen. These policemen in blue police uniforms patrolled the streets with batons in hand. They were the first people to surrender to the occupation forces.

, for the sake of living, not shabby.

Now, they are trying their best to show themselves in front of the occupying authorities, and they are all doing their best to maintain order. They shout from time to time, and use their batons to hit the lampposts on the roadside to remind people to pay attention to order. Of course, they are also vigilant.

He looked at people carefully, fearing that someone would take the opportunity to destroy it.

In fact, the reason why the ceremony has been postponed until now is to clear out the hidden resistance forces in the city. Officers, congressmen, soldiers, and of course some writers, reporters, etc., have also been arrested as prisoners of war.

Although the resistance forces have not been wiped out, it is certain that there is no large-scale resistance force in Putrajaya.

"God bless and hope everything goes well!"

Fernando was pointing his baton and praying secretly in his heart. While praying, his eyes were always staring at Mr. Hidalgo in the crowd. He was a poet and a patriot. He even took the initiative to join the army.

But why wasn't he taken away as a prisoner of war?

What is he doing here?

Could it be that he wants to engage in sabotage?

Although Fernando was a little worried, he did not take the initiative to arrest him. In his opinion, a patriot like Hidalgo should not be arrested by him.

In fact, he did not know that Hidalgo had also been arrested as a prisoner of war.

After being arrested, he immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate with the occupying forces. After experiencing the test of life and death on the battlefield, Hidalgo found that he was not very brave at all. He could even be said to be a coward, but so what

Woolen cloth?

coward!

At least the coward can survive.

Faced with the fate of being arrested, Hidalgo chose to cooperate with the occupying forces and provided them with some intelligence. Even if he betrayed some friends, so what?

Now he can watch the city entry ceremony here like an ordinary citizen.

"Life must go on."

Hidalgo said to himself silently.

At this moment, the sound of an engine sounded in the air, and everyone raised their heads and looked into the sky.

They were no strangers to that sound. In the past, this sound had even been their nightmare.

That was the sound of the airship's engine. It was very clear and rhythmic. Then the source of the sound suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. A huge airship appeared at the end of the street.

The flying altitude of this airship was so low that people could even see the people in the cabin clearly. This was the first time that the citizens of Buenos Aires saw an airship from such a close distance, and the crowd couldn't help but commotion.

"Oh my God, he is so big. How did such a huge thing fly into the sky?"

One citizen screamed loudly, and the others also looked shocked.

Indeed, the airship is extremely huge. It is even bigger than a ship. How does such a huge object rise into the sky?

People had many questions in their minds, but at this moment, looking at the giant thing in the sky, they understood.

Understand why Argentina failed!

And now the victors who have occupied Buenos Aires are showing off the weapons that helped them win this war...
