1909, January 23, 6:00.
In La Paz, the de facto capital of Bolivia, in a room outside the city, a group of people are planning a shocking action.
"Carter, are Sucre ready?
According to the plan, at 8:00 this morning, Sucre, the legal capital, announced on time that Brazil will join us. There will be no accidents, right?"
A very ordinary-looking middle-aged man, facing the young man with obvious Indian appearance in front of him, once again uneasily determined his action plan this time.
"Director McGrady, don't worry, Sucre is ready, and the Indians are on our side."
Faced with another inquiry from Director McGrady, Carter answered confidently and gave his own evidence.
"Director, I have already investigated Bolivia.
Bolivia, after all, is still a country where Indians and Indians are the majority.
If we calculate the population according to ethnic groups, the number of Spanish whites is less than 15% of the total population.
After my propaganda, the Indians here envied us Brazil and decided to join us.
Because in Brazil, everyone has the opportunity to rise, their lives will improve, and there will be many cheap supplies of daily necessities.
In Bolivia, the Indians will never get ahead and live in poverty.
After all, it’s just a different country. How can it be worse than it is now? They’ve had enough of Bolivia.”
"Carter, I believe you.
You are the ace agent of our Golden Gun Bureau, and your abilities should not disappoint me.
This time, the king personally deployed it to us, and he looked at our performance again.
The success or failure of this time is related to the future of our Golden Gun Bureau, and I have to follow up."
The Golden Gun Bureau, one of the three major bureaus of the Brazilian Security Bureau, is on the same level as the Golden Shield Bureau, which protects the country, and the Golden Sword Bureau, which inspects Brazilian taxes.
However, compared to the Golden Shield Bureau that assists Wang Guofu in establishing reforms and protecting the country, there is also the Golden Sword Bureau that targets lawlessness and discipline and protects tax revenue.
The Golden Gun Bureau has the weakest position. It rarely performs well, and now it has the least meritorious service among the three departments.
Fisher, the director of the Golden Shield, and Anthony, the director of the Golden Sword, have always been very dissatisfied with the Golden Gun Bureau, which has an annual budget of up to 100,000 pounds, which accounts for a large share of the 350,000 pound annual allocation of the Security Bureau.
McGrady, as the director of the Golden Gun Bureau, faced with two directors of the same level, had a serious lack of confidence and could only obey.
After all, my department is really too weak when facing the two above.
If it weren't for King Pedro III's continuous support, the budget of the Golden Gun Bureau would be limited to 50,000 pounds, or even less.
Fisher and Anthony have clamored more than once that the Golden Gun Bureau's capabilities and receiving 10,000 pounds are just charity, and more budget should be given to useful departments.
This time the operation to subvert Bolivia cannot fail, it can only succeed.
"Carter, don't think I'm being verbose or interfering with your operations. I take this operation very seriously and will supervise it personally to prevent you from making mistakes.
There is nothing we can do about it. Our operation can only succeed.
It must also succeed!
What's going on with our Golden Gun Bureau? As you know, if it fails, our department may be cancelled."
"Director, don't worry, I know the meaning of this "Operation Mountain Eagle"."
Carter, of course, understands the importance of the "Operation Mountain Eagle" to subvert Bolivia and promote Bolivia's integration into Brazil.
This operation can only succeed, not fail!
As an outstanding operator of the Golden Gun Bureau, Carter knows that this Bureau has a major existential crisis.
His own department has been badly squeezed by his colleagues from the other two security bureaus. These two departments have been trying to destroy them and divide the 100,000 pound allocation.
Faced with an existential crisis, as soon as the king gave the order, the Golden Gun Bureau took action.
In order to annex Bolivia, the Golden Gun Bureau made arrangements very early. Almost as soon as it received the king's commission, it sent people to infiltrate Bolivia.
Ace Agent Carter has been infiltrating this country for almost three months with an elite team of thirty-five people, and he knows the situation in Bolivia very well.
Bolivia is the only landlocked country in South America and the largest landlocked country.
The current population of this country is less than one million, of which 14% are Spanish whites, 22% are of mixed race, and Indians such as the Quechua and Aymara people have an absolute advantage.
Bolivia is bordered by Brazil, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay. The legal capital is Sucre, and the actual government seat is La Paz.
The country is dominated by plateau terrain, with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters, making it the country with the highest average altitude in the world. Among them, La Paz has an altitude of more than 3,600 meters, making it the capital with the highest altitude in the world.
This landlocked country in the middle of South America has developed slowly and has a sparse population. It has an extremely bleak history and has never won a single victory in its wars with foreign countries.
Bolivia was part of the Inca Empire in the 13th century and became a Spanish colony in 1538. On August 6, 1825, it became independent because it was rescued by Simon Bolivar, a hero from Caracas, Venezuela, so the country got its name.
So he named it after him
It formed a federation with Peru in 1836, but collapsed due to the invasion of Chile in 1839. In 1863, rich saltpeter deposits were discovered in Atacama Province on the Pacific coast. In 1879, Chile sent troops to occupy the mining area, and Bolivia and Peru united to start the "Pacific War" with Chile.
". Bolivia was defeated in 1883 and ceded the saltpeter-rich Pacific coast to Chile in 1904. Bolivia lost its only coastal province, including the important port of Antofagasta, and has since become a landlocked country. However, Bolivia has always claimed sovereignty over this area.
, and claimed that the 1904 Treaty was invalid.
Little did Carter know that Bolivia would lose again.
In the future, Bolivia and Paraguay will fight for the oil resources in the Northern Chaco region and the Chaco War will break out in 1932. Bolivia will be defeated and lose a large area of territory.
In this country, white Spanish people have always controlled the upper echelons of the country. While wooing mixed-race people, they are also wary of mixed-race people. As for the Indians with a large population, they are strictly guarded against them and do not give them room for advancement.
In order to get rid of the conservative party and to prevent the large Indian population around Sucre, the Spanish white people moved the capital from Sucre to La Paz, the Lake Titicaca area on the border with Peru.
I moved to La Paz not only because the land here is fertile, but also because it is a gathering place for white people. It is very convenient to communicate with the white government of Peru.
Peru is also a country with a large number of Indians. There are also many Orientals in the country, and white people do not dominate.
Historically, Peru and Bolivia have been trying to keep each other warm, or they can be said to have worked together in collusion. Unfortunately, they were beaten twice by Chile.
The Golden Gun Bureau was established under the leadership of King Pedro III, who even personally provided training and technical guidance to the Golden Gun Bureau.
The king had very high expectations for this department, and he poured a large amount of resources into this department despite all opinions and arguments of the Golden Sword and Golden Shield.
If you get the king's favor and don't show results, you will be doomed.
"Carter, this time is not only to prove ourselves, but also to prove that the king's support for us is correct."
Operation Mountain Eagle is a great responsibility and of extraordinary significance to the Golden Gun Bureau. No matter how many times it is emphasized, it cannot be overemphasized.
"Bolivia, you also know this country.
A country with a population of less than one million is no different from Paraguay. It is not taken seriously by Western countries and has always been the weakling of South America.
This country has never defeated any South American country that has come into contact with it. We in Brazil didn’t even defeat it, so we let Bolivia obediently give us territory.
Acre State was easily captured by us without wasting a shot or a bullet."
If it wants to annex Bolivia, Brazil doesn't actually need to engage in these conspiracies at all, it can just send troops to occupy it.
Bolivia, except for its fellow sufferer Peru, and Brazil with the United Kingdom as its backing, this country will not expend much effort at all.
The reason why Tang Ning used the Golden Gun Bureau this time was to test this department.
"Carter, actually you also know.
In fact, the king can conquer this country without ours. He only needs to send two divisions. There is no need to waste time and effort. Let us prepare for this operation.
This time, Operation Mountain Eagle is a test from the King.
If the test fails, I think you can also predict the outcome of our Golden Gun Bureau. The budget reduction is still light, but the more serious one, and the most likely one, is to cancel our department."
Of course Carter knew that what the director did was not a joke, everything was true.
"Director, nothing goes wrong this time.
There are not only us in La Paz, but also Indians who are secretly controlled by us, and we even have secret contact with some mixed-race officials.
The army in the capital has also been bribed by us. The army here is used to military coups. They just think that we are careerists in national power. As long as we give them enough money, they can ignore it.
As long as we occupy La Paz and control the government, and wait for the arrival of our allies, even if these troops have a conscience and want to resist, it will be of no use."
This time, Operation Mountain Eagle was arranged by the Golden Gun Bureau, and it was a solid plan with three plans.
Even if the temporary attack on La Paz fails, they who control the nominal capital Sucre still have the initiative and a large part of the say.
The Golden Gun Bureau is absolutely capable of slowly wearing down the La Paz government to death.
McGrady nodded, expressing that he was very satisfied with Carter, and was making final mobilization preparations for everyone.
"Well! Carter, get your brothers ready and move on time at 6:30."
