Looking at the woman called "Countess", Zhu Xianhai looked at her a few times.
How did she know something was wrong?
There doesn't seem to be any reports in the newspapers.
"you do not know?"
Elizabeth took a look at Zhu Xianhai while holding the wine glass.
"I have just arrived in Argentina and I don't know much about the political situation here, but it seems to be very peaceful, so I feel a little strange."
"Oh I got it."
Knowing that he had just arrived in Argentina, Elizabeth explained.
"Actually, it's very simple. This country has never been truly stable since the day it became independent. Since the fall of Rosas eight years ago, Argentina has been divided into the province of Buenos Aires and the remaining federal provinces.
As an independent country, Argentina has been divided in recent years. Even if Urquiza believed that the most important thing was to maintain the stability of the situation and ordered the execution of all important members of Rosas's party, so what? He couldn't get rid of it.
The secession of Buenos Aires and other provinces..."
Although Elizabeth was a woman, her understanding of Argentine politics was far beyond Zhu Xianhai's imagination. Information that could not be learned from newspapers was revealed to her casually.
From the time Urquiza led the Allied forces to overthrow the Rosas government eight years ago, to the bloody massacre in Urquiza after seizing power, and the dilemma. Of course, the more important thing is Buenos Aires
There is an undercurrent surging within Saires now.
"...The revolutionaries believed that he had deviated from the will of the people, and the opposition believed that Urquiza had ulterior motives and had a strong hostility towards him, even though last year they negotiated and signed the "Concord of Saint Nicholas" to recognize Urquiza.
As the temporary ruler of the confederation of Argentina's provinces, he has the power to organize the army. Although the agreement clearly stipulates the abolition of domestic tariffs on goods shipped interprovincially, and Buenos Aires serves as the national customs. But Buenos Aires'
Economic privileges seem to be being abolished, so the "Agreement" has also angered the people of Buenos Aires. The opposition has publicly declared vetoing the content of the agreement more than once. Sooner or later, they will gather the armed forces to rebel. By then, war will
It will definitely explode..."
After taking a sip of beer, Elizabeth looked into the distance for a while, as if she was reminiscing about something. After a while, she sighed again.
"...Who knows when the war will break out? Maybe, by then, the war will destroy everything here."
Zhu Xianhai's heart sank as he looked at Elizabeth with her pretty brows slightly frowning across the fence.
Civil war!
Never heard of it!
In fact, what Zhu Xianhai didn't know was that next year's rebellion would cause Argentina to split into two opposing regimes, Urquiza and Mitre. Since both sides were evenly matched, neither could conquer the other, thus starting a long-term conflict in Argentina.
Ten years of division.
This civil war, which lasted for ten years, caused Argentina heavy casualties and material consumption. It was not until Urquiza and his son were assassinated that the country became unified, and then began to expand southward, conquering the grasslands and conquering the
Desert, and then realized the rise of the country. Of course, in the end, the country successfully declined from the eighth most powerful country in the world to... I don't know what the hell it has declined to.
In the simulation, Zhu Xianhai was just hit by a grain of dust from the times during the ten years of civil war.
That grain of ashes is not only a mountain when it hits a person, but also a deadly mountain.
Just like Elizabeth, the grain of ashes eight years ago fell on her. She not only lost almost all her property overnight, but also became a widow.
A widow...isn't she a widow?
"Then what do you do?"
Elizabeth's white teeth gently bit her red lips, she was silent for a while, and then said.
"Eight years ago, Urquiza shot my husband and confiscated his property. Now, I am just a poor widow. Who cares about a widow?"
She looked at Zhu Xianhai and said.
"It's you, what will you do? After the war breaks out, men will go to the battlefield whether they want to or not. I think you should worry about yourself more, right?"
Elizabeth showed a charming smile to Zhu Xianhai again,
"Thank you for your hospitality. It's getting late and I'm going to rest."
When she was about to turn around, Elizabeth asked as if she remembered something.
"By the way, after chatting for so long, I still don't know your name."
"Zhu Xianhai...well, you can call me Steven!"
"Andre" in the life simulation is really unlucky and needs to be replaced!
Steven!
This name is quite auspicious, I think I heard it somewhere.
"Good night, Steven."
When the beautiful countess turned around and left, leaving only a faint scent, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the red lip print on the beer glass.
Not because of the seductive red lips on the rim of the cup, but because of...her words.
Just as she said, she should be more worried about herself now.
Of course, he is not worried about being caught as a prostitute, but worried about being murdered for money!
"Bartolome Mitre..."
Reciting this name, Zhu Xianhai's eyes flashed and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
"You want to seek wealth and death, but I want to see who among us can outplay the other."
Returning to the study, I looked at the newspaper clippings nailed to the wall. Most of the news was related to the Minister of Military Affairs, Major General Bartolomé Mitre.
In the past period of time, he has been collecting as much information related to him as possible and has a certain understanding of him.
"Minister of Military Affairs...what a big official!"
This official is indeed very big - he is the Minister of Defense of Argentina, almost the actual supreme commander of the Argentine army! He is even the actual founder of the Buenos Aires Provincial Army. As for Urquiza, it is only in name.
Just the supreme commander.
But who would have thought that he would launch a rebellion next year?
With this thought in his mind, Zhu Xianhai's pupils suddenly shrank.
If he was just an ordinary person, he might not have any power to fight back against such a big shot. After all, this general is a big shot with great power and many troops!
But it's a pity that he, Zhu Xianhai, is not an ordinary person!
He is the "chosen son" who has experienced the entire "life simulation" - also known as the "spoiler dog"!
