Wild North America 1846

Chapter 491 Heart Floating
It had been five days since the news of the defeat in the Binonite Valley reached Buenos Aires. When the high-ranking officials of the Argentine government were shocked beyond measure, great panic arose immediately.

The Argentine government is indeed worried about the military intervention of the Tang Empire, because the Antis Governor's Office issued a second call-up campaign to recruit 2 troops to join the war. The news put great pressure on Argentina.

Therefore, the Argentine government has been worried;
The more than 5 mobile troops stationed in the two northern provinces of Colombia del Estero and Santa Fe may not be able to withstand the 10,000+ troops of the Tang Empire that have been continuously gathered. Strong support should be given when necessary .

as it stands;

The more than 5 Argentine troops stationed on the border between the two countries can at least fight with the 3.5 troops of the Tang Empire mobilized in advance, and may even occupy a local advantage, bringing surprises to Buenos Aires. happiness.

I didn't say anything, but it didn't prevent me from thinking so in my heart.

After all, the Argentine garrison has an advantage in terms of number of troops, and there is no shortage of artillery and rifles. On paper, the strength is considerable, and it should be no problem to support it for a few months.

But the Argentine government never expected that the unexpected joy would come so quickly and so thoroughly, but it turned out to be a general collapse like bad news, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

after a short silence
There were screams and wailing in the government, and extreme panic spread uncontrollably. President Miter and Prime Minister Milian Del Brazo were also shocked and at a loss, and glanced at each other.

From each other's eyes, they both saw the deep fear of the Great Tang Empire.

embarrassing to say

Argentina does not have a second mobile force of more than 2 people. Except for the 4-strong Argentine army in the Triple Allied Forces, the inter-provincial forces have been wiped out, and even the 1.7 militiamen are not enough. come out.

The situation in Buenos Aires Province is much better. Among the more than 6000 cavalry who fled back, more than 4500 belonged to the Montevia Cavalry Division in Buenos Aires. Three volunteer cavalry regiments belonging to Buenos Aires suffered heavy losses and fled back. Thousands of people.

There are still more than 2 infantry and two cavalry divisions with less than [-] soldiers in the province. The combined strength of all kinds of troops can reach more than [-], which is already sky-high.

The Paraguay War lasted for more than three years, and Argentina suffered a total of 5.5 to 6 casualties during the war. This was already a heavy burden for a South American country with a total population of just over 150 million.

The Battle of the Binonite Valley lost 3.6 troops (including 2.3 Indian infantry). How can Argentina still have troops to adjust?

Even if war mobilization is carried out again, how many troops can be mobilized?

"Mr. President, maybe... it's time to consider Plan B. Continuing to fight against the Tang Empire is beyond Argentina's capabilities. The huge risks that arise from this must be considered. The government should make a wise choice." Prime Minister Milian Del Brasso held back for a long time, and squeezed out a word with a look of constipated face.

President Mitley also had a heavy expression on his face. He sighed and asked, "I will consider it...but not now. The British once patted their chests and assured us that they would decisively intervene when necessary. Is there anything to say now? "

"Hmph, we've all been tricked. The British guy just said that he needs to observe the situation further and wait for London's instructions." Prime Minister Milian Del Braso shook his head with a wry smile, saying "I know them well" said in tone;

"Your Excellency, stop having illusions about the British.

They will jump out at the right time when sharing their joy, and tell us in an arrogant tone that London has paid a lot to settle the Orientals.

And when support is most needed, there will never be a Brit in need.

They would just step hard on the wounds and turn around and tell the East that London had worked tirelessly to persuade Brazil and Argentina to make substantive concessions.

These duplicitous guys have never been trustworthy partners.

South America is not the core area of ​​British interests. The places that the British value most are in Europe, in the Balkans, in the Near East and North Africa, in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and even in East Asia. .

What's more, it is impossible for the British to give substantial military assistance at the risk of tearing apart the Tang Empire.

These imperialists are just and awe-inspiring on the surface, but they are secretly colluding. They are all hungry wolves that eat people.

If we want to get rid of the bad situation that is taking a turn for the worse, we still have to work hard on our own! "

After hearing these words, President Miter fell silent for a long time.

A moment later
Only then did he exhale a long breath, and said in a dry voice; "It makes sense, my dear Prime Minister.

You can go through the channels of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first, express your submission to the Tang Empire, and be willing to discuss the post-war situation without preconditions.

In addition, urgently contact His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, Pedro II, to coordinate the position and boundaries of the military operations of the allies, and try not to provoke the Tang Empire too much and make things out of control.

like this is the case
It is no longer suitable for the Allied forces to continue to advance towards Ascension, but should retreat to the fortress of Umaita, the river castle, urgently repair the defense facilities that have been burned by the war, and station heavy troops to defend it.

As long as you occupy this strong frontier fortress, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

And when the allied forces faced the mighty Tang Empire, they had sufficient bargaining chips, so that they would not be led by the nose by the Orientals.

These eastern cavalry regiments are too terrifying, they are simply devil legions..."

President Mitley shook his head sadly. He was already disheartened by the bad news on the front line, and he couldn't bear the slightest thought of continuing to resist.

With only such a small force in Argentina, how many times can they be beaten?
Plan B is to completely abandon the interests of the Federation, even if it splits.The territorial integrity and peace of the province of Buenos Aires must be guaranteed. This is the bottom line that cannot be compromised.

President Miter comes from an Italian-Argentine white family, and represents the interests of big estate owners and capitalists in the Province of Buenos Aires.

Due to the character of the southern European nation, his life dictionary is full of interests and intrigue, but lacks the steely will of the Prussians.

After all, he is nothing more than a political speculator.

The interest class he represents will not allow President Miter to put all his eggs in one basket and take the interests of the province to fight the Tang Empire to the death. To gamble on a war with no hope of victory is tantamount to political suicide.

Don't brag or criticize, the military power displayed by the Andean Governor's Palace is so powerful that it makes people desperate.

A wise choice is;
Argentina must not be dragged down by the Federation. The best way is to stop losses in time and let the Federation and the Alliance go to hell.

Judging from the current situation
The Andean Governor's Palace expanded strongly to the north through the war. After occupying the two northern provinces of Colombia del Estero and Santa Fe, the forces extended more than 480 kilometers to the north and reached the southern border of Paraguay.

what does this mean?
It means that on the other side of the war, the border territory between the Datang Empire and Paraguay has been fully bordered. Food, weapons and equipment from the Datang Empire will be continuously sent to Paraguay, as well as Chinese militia soldiers who are armed to the teeth.

The favorable situation of the Triple Alliance besieging Paraguay was completely reversed. The powerful military power of the Tang Empire poured into Paraguay unstoppably through the northern channel, which posed a huge threat to the Allied forces fighting in Paraguay.

After experiencing the disastrous defeat in the Battle of the Binonite Valley, the Argentines were shattered from the dream of high-spirited self-confidence, and quickly slipped into the abyss of fear.

Now they are grabbing their hands like drowning people. As long as they have a chance to go ashore, they can't control the lives of others.

It's very Italian, I have to say.

After this heavy blow, those members of Congress and ministers representing the interests of the federal province were all devastated. Some waved their hands and asked God, some burst into tears, and some lost their souls under the blow...

Deputy speaker Gutares is the representative of the federal government in Argentina. He is like an old dog whose spine has been removed, slumped on the chair and unable to stand up.

Only two lines of muddy tears fell from the wrinkled old face.

I'm heartbroken!
It's over, it's over.

The federal provinces went from 17 federal provinces during the Argentine Civil War to 1866 federal provinces at the end of 9, and then lost the two northern provinces when the bad news came, leaving only 7 federal provinces.

The problem is that
After the provinces of Colombia del Estero and Santa Fe were occupied by the Tang Empire, there are three other provinces on the west side, which are now completely isolated from the Argentine territory and have become a large enclave.

Needless to say in the future, there is a high probability that this piece of fat will fall into the mouth of the Andean Governor's Palace.

Therefore, in the foreseeable future, the federal province's territory will be greatly reduced, and its power will be greatly weakened, let alone the right to speak.

Being able to cling tightly to Argentina's thigh and survive seems to have become a luxury.

What is the virtue of these unresponsible and eggless goods in the province of Buenos Aires?Deputy Speaker Gutares couldn't be more clear.

Pin the hope of recovering the territory on them, why not go to bed early, dreams have everything.

Inside the British Legation on Via de la Plata
British Minister James held a telegram signed by the Minister of the Colonial Department of London, Marquis François Bowman, in his hand. After reading it carefully, he put the telegram on the table heavily and sighed softly.

So much work of persuasion has been done, and now it has all come to naught.

The family knows their own affairs.

The big pie that British Minister James drew for Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay is just a beautiful vision of South America's independence.The UK itself will not provide any support.

In fact, this is a bluffing diplomatic blackmail, and only the Tang Empire can afford the price. If any promises or concessions can be obtained from the Tang Empire, it will reflect the outstanding achievements of Minister James in the diplomatic field. Brilliant stroke.

Now that I wake up from the dream, I can do what I should do.

The strength of the British Empire did dominate the world, and it was the undisputed arbiter of the situation in Europe. It had a decisive influence on the situation in the Balkans, the Near East, North Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and even East Asia.

In America, whether it is North America, Central America or South America, there is only one real overlord, and that is the Tang Empire.

Although Minister James didn't want to admit it, the reality is;
The influence of Britain is not good here. All South American countries want to introduce the influence of Britain and France to fight against the Tang Empire, but the actual effect is very disappointing.

Because the presence of Britain, France and other countries in South America can only be reflected in diplomacy and influence, and the Andean Governor's Palace of the Tang Empire is really hands-on!
A rude warrior, despise him!
The South American interest network carefully woven by the British was torn apart so violently by the Andean Governor's Palace, and it was all shattered into pieces.

Not a human being!
