The internal Argentine meeting ended, and Fellner rushed back to Corrientes with his guards.
The province of Misiones is in constant war, but Corrientes, which borders it, is peaceful and peaceful, and has not been affected by the war at all.
"General, Sarmiento is going too far! He doesn't take our northern provinces seriously at all. I really can't swallow this breath!"
In the courtyard closely guarded by soldiers, Fellner complained to an old man in his fifties or sixties in front of him.
"Huiyi, Mendoza and Cordoba and other provinces controlled by Sarmiento were roped in by Mitre to support Sarmiento and oppose the collapse of the Buenos Aires alliance. With just one Corian
Tes Province cannot deal with Sarmiento and Mitre behind him.
Situations are stronger than people, Fellner, you have to learn to be patient."
"Patience, patience, I have been patient for six years since the general stepped down. I don't know how long I will have to endure these days." Fellner became more and more angry: "During the meeting, Sarmiento was supported by Mitre.
, forcing Corrientes to send two thousand men to join the reinforcements, commanded by generals designated by the federal army.
General! Sarmiento will seize two thousand troops as soon as he comes to power. If he secures his position, Corrientes will fall into his hands, and we will not even have the strength to resist at that time!
General, are you not in a hurry?"
The old man's face darkened, obviously dissatisfied with Felner's way of speaking.
"General, I was overly excited and said something inappropriate. Don't be angry. However, you are my old superior and the backbone of the local province. The Federal District (referring to Buenos Aires) is pushing too hard. What should I do?
You make up your mind!"
"What kind of backbone am I, Huiyi? Several provinces in Mendoza were bribed by Mitre, and now they recognize Misanto. I'm just an old man who has been used and thrown away. I have no intention of participating.
It’s a national matter.”
The old man's tone was calm, and there was no sadness or joy on his face. If Fellner hadn't seen his slightly trembling right hand, he would have believed what he said.
"The general has a great favor. As long as you take the lead in opposing Misanto, many provinces will definitely support your idea. Then we will unite the forces of the provinces to hold Mitre and Misanto accountable for the failure of the war and force them to give up power.
, it is your turn to take the stage and perform the duties of the President."
The defeat in the Paraguay War affected Argentina's domestic political situation. Miter resigned from the presidency under pressure and promoted Misanto, the oligarch representative of Cordoba Province, to the position, while he continued to control the military command of Buenos Aires. Both parties
One person holds political power, the other holds military power, and they unite to survive the crisis of war failure. However, this result is not what Felner and other representatives of provincial forces want, so Felner keeps advising the old people around him.
Take the lead in opposition.
The old man next to Fellner was no ordinary person. He was Urquiza, the Argentine president before Mitre. During the battle between local oligarchic forces and federal totalitarian forces in 1861, Urquiza's troops were defeated by Mitre.
Ray was defeated, so Urquiza was ousted from the presidency and replaced by Mitre.
After losing the presidential throne, Mitre did not let Urquiza go. He secretly supported Urquiza's old rival Delki and took advantage of the opportunity when Urquiza's troops were exhausted and demoralized to take down Ant in one fell swoop.
The province of Le Rios caused Miter to lose its base and completely lose its power to confront the government.
Without the territory and control of the army, Urquiza openly retired in the province of Antler Rios, secretly collaborating with his subordinates to make a comeback. However, an incident that happened more than a month ago forced him to leave the army.
The businessman's hometown is in Corrientes.
More than a month ago, Urquiza was assassinated by more than fifty assassins armed with rifles in a country manor. Thanks to the desperate protection of a group of soldiers who had followed him for more than ten years in the manor, he escaped.
After the assassination, Urquiza smelled danger and did not dare to stay in the province of Antlerrios anymore, so he had no choice but to leave.
Urquiza has held the power of a country for many years, and the experience accumulated in political and military struggles tells him that now is not the time to deal with Mitre. He has been waiting for the opportunity. Therefore, no matter how Fellner persuades him, he will not easily
promise.
Fellner's persuasion for more than ten minutes had no effect. At this time, a guard came in to report the news.
"General, there are three Indians outside who want to see you. They say they want to make a big deal with you."
"Where did the natives come from to cause trouble! Didn't you see that General Urquiza and I were discussing important matters? Drive them out!"
Felner was in a bad mood and yelled at the guards who entered the room.
"Wait a minute."
The guard turned around and was about to leave, but Urquiza, who rarely spoke, stopped him.
"The Indians are a bit strange here. You might as well meet them."
Urquiza opened his mouth, but Ferner could not refuse, so he nodded and signaled to the soldiers to let them go.
Entering the room, the three Indians took off the camouflage disguises on their faces and revealed their true faces.
"Two generals, Colonel Sun Qisheng of the Rio Grande do Sul Defense Force, has come to make a deal with you on the orders of the Crown Prince."
"You are Chinese. When you come to Corrientes, aren't you afraid that I will catch you and shoot you?" Feier said in a cold and threatening tone.
"I'm here to make a deal with the general. As for what the general wants to do with us, I'd better read the contents of the deal before making a decision."
Sun Qisheng said neither humble nor arrogantly, and did not take Felner's threat to heart at all.
The Chinese uprising troops established a military system in Arequipa, Peru. Although the Intelligence Division under the General Staff Department was established early, during the thousands-mile campaign, the Chinese troops did not have the opportunity to arrange personnel to obtain intelligence.
Occupying Rio Grande do Sul, the Chinese in South America had a solid base. Intelligence work was carried out rapidly with the support of Li Mingyuan. The first batch of intelligence personnel were mainly selected from the special forces. The selected special forces soldiers and some Ming Dynasty survivors formed an advance team.
Dressed as Indians, they went deep into the mountains and forests of northern Argentina, responsible for establishing mountain bases, absorbing Indians to strengthen their strength, and preparing in advance for future actions of the Chinese troops.
In addition to developing his own intelligence personnel, Li Mingyuan also directed the Intelligence Department to use bribery and other means to develop foreigners as intelligence agents and obtain intelligence from them.
Brazil and Argentina are the main areas where the Chinese develop intelligence personnel. In order to carry out intelligence, the Chinese pay large sums of money to bribe small Argentine businessmen and ordinary people doing business in the border areas. After several months of screening and inspection, the Intelligence Office identified more than 20 Argentinian intelligence personnel.
They are long-term intelligence personnel. From their mouths, we can get the basic situation between the main forces in Argentina and the conflicts between the various forces.
Based on the intelligence obtained, Li Mingyuan secretly ordered Sun Qisheng to meet with Fellner to seek cooperation between the two parties.
Sun Qisheng was not afraid of Felner's threat and turned around to signal his two men around him to take out the letters he was carrying.
The letter was written in code on two pieces of paper. Two disguised Chinese officers took out the letter, processed it with the special pens they carried, and then changed the code into plain text and wrote it on a piece of paper.
It is not too unusual for the Chinese to send letters in secret languages. After the invention of the telegraph, countries with the conditions have begun to use telegraph codes to transmit information, and recording secret words on paper is just a traditional intelligence.
The delivery method is not very advanced.
After receiving the translated letter, Ferner glanced at it a few times and respectfully handed the letter to Urquiza.
There were only a few hundred words on a thin piece of paper, but Urkina read it for five or six minutes.
Slowly putting down the paper in his hand, Urkina turned his eyes to the window, staring at the sky outside the window without saying a word.
Fellner looked at the paper on the desk, unable to make a decision.
