Chapter 270: influences

"Big President, frontline emergency calls!"

年轻 In the presidential palace of Buenos Aires, the young staff officer hurried into Mitre's office, looking anxiously.

"Is it the Santa Fe frontline report? Has Delgado pulled out?"

Mitre anxiously.

"The city of Santa Fe has fallen completely, and General Delgado has committed suicide!"

什么 "What? It's impossible! Santa Fe has 12,000 soldiers. They are all the best soldiers in the federal government? How could it be so easily destroyed by the enemy?"

Mitre was so excited that he grabbed the telegraph from the staff officer's hand and glanced hurriedly before his face changed dramatically.

为什么 "Why? Why didn't Delgado hold Santa Fe? Twelve thousand soldiers? I gave you twelve thousand people. Why didn't you hold on?"

Mitre murmured to himself, his old complexion was sickly pale because of his emotions.

The staff officer didn't dare to interrupt, but when he stayed for five or six minutes, he suddenly found that Mitre's face became more and more abnormal, and the white color quickly covered the entire face. Bigger.

"Doctor! Call the doctor!"

The staff officer realized the seriousness of Mitre's physical condition and immediately shouted.

After the rescue of more than a dozen doctors and nurses, Mitre gradually regained consciousness after four hours of coma.

"How is the situation outside? Where have the Han forces advanced?"

When Mitre regained his senses, he asked his dry, aging lips.

"After the Han forces occupied Santa Fe, a 5,000-strong vanguard marched along the Parana River. Two hours ago, the Parana defenders reported a clash with the enemy."

"How is the situation in Uruguay and at sea? Has the Chinese army continued to attack?"

Mitre listened to his officials and asked with a little peace of mind.

"In the direction of Uruguay, after the occupation of Sandu by the Han forces, they did not divide the troops to occupy the surrounding area, but slowly moved south."

高 A tall and thin Argentine general explained in detail, "According to the intelligence personnel scattered in the enemy's occupied area, the Chinese troops in Uruguay's direction should have insufficient supplies and ammunition. They should slow down the speed of advancement to meet the logistics forces."

"How many armed men are our army scattered in the enemy-occupied area? Can we destroy the logistic forces before the Han forces converge?"

"The Han Dynasty's logistic transport troops are heavily defended. Our army has repeatedly launched attacks on Han's small-scale logistic transport teams, but none have achieved good results."

After speaking, General Gao Shou was worried that the development of the war would have an impact on Mitre again, and then explained, "Although the Han forces took advantage of the unpreparedness of our army to occupy Santa Fe City, but in the areas south of Santa Fe and Passandu, The vast territory is still under the control of our army, and the recruits recruited by the President a few days ago have become somewhat like that. After adding those new troops to the regular army, the total number of federal troops can be restored to pre-war levels. With the support of newly recruited soldiers and the bold command of the President, the Han forces will surely be expelled from the borders of Argentina. "

"I underestimated the offensive capabilities of the Han forces. If I sent troops to reinforce Delgado in time, Santa Fe would not fall into the hands of the Han forces."

"The Han forces are well prepared, and the responsibility for the fall of Santa Fe lies with the President."

Hearing Mitre's self-defense, the Argentine general exhorted.

"It was I who looked away and did not really realize the fighting potential of the Han forces. This is clear to me and I do not need you to persuade."

Mitre coughed and continued, "Since the war, the federal government has lost more than ten cities, including Pasandu and Santa Fe, and soldiers have lost more than 20,000. The 40,000 young people recruited by the government have not yet formed combat effectiveness In the current situation, it is already difficult to rely on the remaining troops of the federal government to withstand the offensive of the Han forces, so I intend to ask for help from Brazil and Chile, and ask for reinforcements.

Escoro, the task of rescuing the soldiers from the governments of the two countries is left to you. I hope you will not let me down. "

"President, Chile is fighting Bolivia and Peru. Is it impossible to ask them for reinforcements?"

The named official stood up, puzzled.

"The British have a close relationship with Chile. If the Chileans do not agree to send troops for rescue, you can talk to British diplomats in Chile. I believe the British will not watch the Han annexation of Argentina."

Chile itself has limited strength. When the country participates in the guano war, the Chilean government will most likely not intervene in the war between Han and Argentina, but Chile ’s economy and politics are affected by the British, and the British are in South America. Commercial interests are deep. Both Chile, Argentina and Brazil have the shadow of British businessmen. In order to enjoy the commercial interests of South America alone, the British did not hesitate to provoke Brazil and Chile to launch the Paraguayan war and bird droppings. Now Argentina and Uruguay are facing death. Dangerous, as long as the British still want to play the balance of South American forces, they will not sit idly by in the demise of Argentina and Uruguay.

Mitre ordered his officials to ask the Chilean and Brazilian governments for help, and more of a compromised attitude. The federal government he represented conceded economic and even political interests, obtained nodded approval from the British, and then led by the British. , Organized the Brazilian and Chilean troops to rescue Argentina.

No interest drove ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Britain, Chile and Brazil will not help Argentina overcome the immediate difficulties. Therefore, in order to maintain national security under the attack of the Chinese troops, Mitre has already made a sacrifice. Preparation of interests.

Patagonia wasteland is a disputed area between Chile and Argentina. If Chile is willing to send troops to rescue, Mitre is willing to cede Patagonia to Chile. Similarly, if the Chinese troops ’attack is repelled, Mitre Also willing to recognize Uruguay as the Brazilian empire, the Argentine government no longer interferes with the merger of the Brazilian government and Uruguay, and persuaded the United Kingdom to help. After resolving the crisis facing Argentina, Mitre did not mind opening up the domestic market to Britain. After all, Although commercial interests are important, they are not as important as the survival of the country.

The contents of Mr. Mitre's plan were not told to other officials, but only to Escoro who was about to leave for help from the two countries.

Asking for reinforcements in Chile and Brazil is a compelling option, but if at this time the interests of the betrayed country are revealed to more officials, it is likely to cause division and chaos within the Argentine government. At this juncture, for the sake of the country's future, Mitre chose a man who was responsible for betraying the interests of the country, instead of transferring responsibility to his subordinates to justify himself. ) Book friends, pay attention!
