Chapter 229 Killing the Six Nations in South America
Sometimes in history, some changes will happen inadvertently.
And when a change occurs, even the person involved doesn't know anything about it at the beginning.
Just after New Year's Day in 1865, the steamship "Ellis" aboard Nikolaus August Otto sailed into New York Harbor. After Henry Goebbels and his family boarded the ship in New York, they and others
became friends, after all, they were both from Germany.
Most of the passengers on this steam ship were experts, scholars and technicians hired by the mission in Europe. Along the way, what the passengers talked about the most was Nanhua, that strange place, and of course the opportunities they longed for!
1865 seems to be a year of opportunity and change.
It was also in this year that Paraguay, which had long declared war on Brazil and Uruguay, after several days of emergency consultations in Congress, in the spirit of "don't care about life and death, and do it if you don't accept it", Lopez Jr. directly declared war on Argentina.
, the war officially entered the one-on-three stage. Lopez Jr. also proclaimed himself the high official title of "Marshal" and had full authority to lead Paraguay's military affairs. In April, the Paraguayan army entered Argentina. Argentine President Bartolo
After learning that Paraguay had declared war, May Miter told the people of Buenos Aires on May 4.
"...Gentlemen, I assure you, we will complete preparations within three days, the troops will arrive at the front line within three weeks, and within three months, we will reach Asunción," which is the capital of Paraguay.
After learning the news, Zhu Xianhai's mood must have been a bit complicated.
"Why is it three months again?"
Generally speaking, no matter what happens after 3 months, you will definitely be slapped in the face mercilessly. Please refer to the later heads of state of Germany and prime ministers of Japan.
However, judging from the information currently available, Zhu Xianhai knew that the reason why Bartolome Mitre made such a judgment was that Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay had long secretly concluded a treaty in Buenos Aires.
The "Triple Alliance Treaty" stipulated a series of terms such as the partition of Paraguay after the war and the demand for compensation, and also elected Mitre as the commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
In other words, they are on target. It is not easy for three countries to gang up on such a small country with a population of only a few hundred thousand and solve it in three months.
However, none of them thought that Paraguay or the marshal could actually hold on so well. Even if they held on until the end of the country, they would refuse to surrender.
How's it going? That's enough for a man!
Of course, little Lopez also miscalculated. He originally expected to contact Justo Urquiza, the boss of Corrientes Province in Argentina. As we all know, he is the leader of the anti-Confederacy. Little Lopez hoped to contact
President Miter recruited Urquiza to fight against Argentina. However, in the face of Paraguay's invasion, Urquiza's patriotism defeated his personal desires, declared unconditional support for the central government, and called on his supporters to take up arms to fight against Paraguay's invasion.
army.
"After all, it was a miscalculation!"
While sighing, Zhu Xianhai did not feel it was a pity. After all, the more people died in the Four Kingdoms Killing in the La Prado River Basin, the more beneficial it would be for Nanhua.
No matter Paraguay, or Argentina, or Uruguay, or Brazil, the more people they die, the better!
"It's a pity that we can't smuggle arms to Paraguay on a large scale. Otherwise, it would be a good choice to help Argentina and Brazil bleed."
While talking to himself, Zhu Xianhai smiled slightly.
"Okay, the North has nothing to worry about for the time being, and you are the only one left..."
Once again, he set his sights on Chile. Starting last year, he began planning a war to destroy the country.
This is a slow process, at least until the external conditions are mature. If the external conditions are not mature, it must be brewed slowly!
The timing is just right!
After Argentina devotes all its energy to Paraguay, Nanhua will be free to deal with Chile, and, after a year of preparation, it is almost time to pick peaches!
It's not about picking peaches, it's about completely eliminating the potential threat in Chile.
After Qian Zizhuang came to the office and listened to his report, Zhu Xianhai did not make an immediate decision. He slowly pushed the file containing the documents away from his eyes, then stood up from the desk and walked around the office.
Later, he stood in front of the window and stared at the square in front of the building. There were many pedestrians in the square. Watching people enjoying the sunshine and the beauty of life would give people a feeling - as if the war would never end.
will explode.
It seems that Nanhua will be peaceful forever!
But what about in reality?
Purgatory and heaven are just a thin line apart.
War may break out at any time!
Once the war breaks out, there will be no retreat for Nanhua. There are only two choices, either survival or destruction!
After turning around, Zhu Xianhai looked at Qian Zizhuang. He was the head of intelligence in Nanhua. The so-called investigation department was actually Nanhua's intelligence agency. He smoked a cigar continuously and put the remaining half of the Cuban cigar on the table.
On the ashtray, Zhu Xianhai walked to the table again, clicked on the file, and asked:
"Well, how reliable is this plan?"
"This thing is not complicated to do. We have deployed our own people there. We are about 70% sure of the first step of the plan. The key is the second step. This is more of a military issue. Military issues are not what we can do.
fixed."
Some plans are not just pure intelligence work. No matter how perfect the plan is, it still requires the cooperation of others. Moreover, the core of the plan lies with other people.
"Well, indeed!"
Zhu Xianhai nodded and said.
"There's not much you can do about military issues. However, if the first step plan is implemented, they will definitely carry out a series of deployments and actions accordingly! What is the key issue? It is to make everything
Without any contact with us, is the person who implements the plan reliable?"
"It's completely reliable. They had no idea that we would be involved in this plan. Moreover, on the surface, it seems that these things cannot have any direct connection with us."
Qian Zizhuang's answer was very brief.
"Well, there does seem to be no connection on the surface, but we still need to handle it carefully. After all, some things are always shady. Of course, we don't care about these issues at all, but we must deal with this matter.
, implemented perfectly.”
He brought the file in front of him and browsed it again, then Zhu Xianhai said:
