Chapter 306 Conflict (Second update, please subscribe)
army!

After entering the second half of 1869, many troops appeared on the seemingly peaceful Pampas prairie.

The province of Buenos Aires sent troops to one side of Haogou, and on the other side of the trench, Nanhua's security forces were also mobilized.

However, that seems to be the case. The civil strife in Argentina has not stopped. The civil war between the Argentine Confederation and Buenos Aires, which was previously stopped due to the invasion of Uruguay, started again two years ago.And the newly elected president, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, was trying his best to end the civil war as well as trying to end the Paraguayan War.

"The civilized world is under threat!"

Domingo Faustino Sarmiento once declared so confidently to the congressmen in his Congressional speech.

The so-called "threat" is of course from the south. Once upon a time, it was the Mapuche attacks that threatened Argentina, but now?Nanhua, which is rising in the south, poses threats to Argentina in all aspects, not just threats, but more expansion.

"While our army was mired in Paraguay, when we fought fiercely with the Paraguayans to occupy some Paraguayan land, the grasslands were full of Chinese settlements, and the railways stretched from Nanhua like the tentacles of an octopus It seems that the entire Pampas Prairie is shrouded in their shadow. We must face up to their threat and tell them that the Pampas Prairie belongs to us and the Argentines. The order of first come, first come, we came to this land far earlier than them..."

In 1868, when Domingo Faustino Sarmiento was inaugurated as President, he made this speech in Congress with such emotion.

That is to say, since then, the army of Buenos Aires began to enter the grassland, and the six-member team that appeared in front of Si Dongjie now was stationed in this area.

"What are they doing?"

They actually went over the ditch!
Si Dongli watched in surprise as those people rode their horses down the embankment to the bottom of the ditch, and then crossed the ditch.Then six Argentine soldiers crossed the trench like this, completely ignoring the Si Dongli brothers.

After a while, they "met" on the grassland like this, face to face.

"Gentlemen, you are standing on Argentine territory!"

Vicente reined in his horse, looked at the Chinese herdsmen in front of him, and said in blunt Chinese.

"what?"

Si Dongli said in surprise.

"What did you say?"

"Here is Argentine territory!"

Vicente pointed to the grassland behind them and said directly.

"As early as twenty years ago, when the trenches were being constructed, we had already mapped this area. According to the corresponding principles of public international law, this is not an unknown land, but ours - our Argentines' land."

Vicente looked at the herdsmen in front of him. Although they had Spencer rifles in their hands, what's the big deal?

The Argentine Army also has this rifle - bought secondhand from the American South.

"This is our land!"

Si Dongjie clamped the horse's belly with his legs, stepped forward and said loudly.

"Go back where you came from, otherwise..."

As he spoke, he raised his rifle.As he raised his rifle, the soldiers behind Vicente also raised their rifles.

"Dongjie!"

Si Dongli said nervously.

"Don't, don't do stupid things!"

"Brother, go back and inform the civil defense team, saying that the Argentines have invaded."

Invasion, this is invasion!

I am a soldier, and it is my duty to protect this land...

When he picked up the rifle, there was only one thought left in Si Dongjie's mind. The wind on the prairie was blowing on his face, and he rode like this, facing the opponent in front of him with his firm eyes and the weapon in his hand. intruder.

The invaders are numerous, but so what?

This is our land.

"Dong, Dongjie,"

Si Dongli was frightened. Even though he could shoot and had received military training, he never thought that one day he would face such a thing.

"Let's, let's go back first, go back and call someone..."

How many of them there are!Didn't you see it, there are six people, and five guns are pointing at you!

"I am a soldier!"

Si Dongjie refused directly.

"Soldiers, there are rules for guarding the soil!"

His answer made Bitson dumbfounded.

What soldier?
Isn't he a shepherd?

In fact, the reason why he crossed the trench this time was because in the past reconnaissance, he was convinced that the grassland was still under the actual control of the Chinese for the time being—the nearest settlement was [-] kilometers away, and it was not a designated pasture.

But what they didn't expect was that Si Dongli would "sweep the wool" here. He raised a group of cows to graze on this grassland. In the past two years, relying on this ownerless grassland, he has made a lot of money.But no matter what, he never thought that the Argentines were also eyeing this grassland.

In fact, according to the rules formulated by the company, the farm should keep a certain distance from the trench to avoid conflicts.But now?The Argentines took the initiative to cross the trench, trying to challenge the no-man's land between the trench and the settlement.

In fact, it is gradually eating away.

"Sir, you should know that if there is a conflict now, you probably have no hope of surviving!"

Vicente's words made Si Dongjie silent for a moment, and then he said.

"I am a soldier!"

Although he was not wearing a military uniform, Si Dongjie knew that he could never retreat. It had nothing to do with anything else. It was just because of the military's responsibility. Perhaps a beautiful military uniform could maintain the military's dignity, but the military's dignity did not depend solely on the military uniform.

It is faith!
It is the will!
Taking a deep breath, Si Dongjie said loudly.

"You are standing on the land of Nanhua now, I order you to leave here, leave immediately!"

A pair of six.

There is no sense of being inferior in terms of momentum.

Facing such a stubborn enemy, Vicente frowned slightly, he did not expect such a result.

"Fourth brother, fourth child..."

Si Dongli, who was holding a gun in his hand, swallowed, not to mention the feeling in his heart, this day was going well, why did this happen suddenly.

He wanted to leave, but he couldn't. If he left, people would look down on him.

"Brother, hurry back and call someone..."

Seeing that the cousin beside him didn't move, Si Dongjie said again.

"Scream, it's a hundred miles back and forth. When you come back, you probably won't even have breath. If you're going to die, we brothers will die together today, and we will be loyal to the country!"

With a "crash", after loading the rifle, Si Dongli shouted loudly.

"Hurry up and get out of here, or else, grandpa's guns won't recognize anyone!"
