Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 107: War begins

, Reborn South America as king

On June 11, 1868, a huge fleet of more than 40,000 people set sail and aimed directly at the main camp of the Brazilian Coalition. The voyage was zhong. The riparian supply points and supply vessels set up by the Brazilian Coalition were occupied by the Chinese Independent Army one by one. All the ammunition prepared by the coalition forces fell into the hands of the Chinese Independent Army. The fleet moved forward, and the captured ships were replenished into the fleet. The size of the fleet was getting larger and larger, and the originally tight capacity seemed to be rich.

At the peak of the Brazilian coalition force, the number reached 100,000. With the prolonged war, due to the loss of soldiers and the pressure of logistical supplies, the number of frontline soldiers of the coalition force gradually decreased. There are about 8,000 Brazilian troops and about 60,000 coalitions in Paraguay.

Sixty thousand people, the Brazilian army occupied 50,000 people, another 10,000 people led by Argentine Army General Miret stationed in Formosa, guarding the border area of ​​Paraguay and Argentina.

More than ten days ago, when the Chinese Independence Army had just fought against the circuitous Brazilian army, 10,000 Argentine troops were stationed on the front and fought alongside the Brazilian army, but with the instructions of some important government officials in the Argentine domestic government, the front Argentina The troops began to stir up. They refused to accept Garcia's designated combat mission under the pretext of diarrhea and cholera, and some soldiers declared that they would withdraw from the war and return to Argentina.

Under the instructions of the important members of the Argentine government and the encouragement of officers, the vast majority of Argentine soldiers thought that the war was about to end and they could go home immediately. Under this influence, Garcia could not command Argentina The army, besides the command of the 10,000 Argentine army is in the hands of Miret. Garcia is only a nominal commander. To really command the Argentine army, Miret nodded.

The Argentine troops will sooner or later be troubled, of course, for a reason. On the one hand, Garcia sent troops to detour Humei Tower fortress. It is impossible not to notify the Argentine. In the past few days, the guards of the Huneta fortress deployed troops to support and prove the detour The plan was successful, and the defenders of the Tiger Fortress were completely surrounded, and it was only a matter of time before the surrender.

On the other hand, it took ten months to attack

The fortress of Curupaity caused heavy losses to the Argentine army, and the strategic materials that Argentina was preparing for a few years were exhausted. At this time, smallpox began to rag, and then cholera began to spread. Both diseases caused a lot of non-combat. Downsizing and troop morale have also been reduced to a minimum.

The Paraguayan war originally had nothing to do with Argentina. Later Brazil used the outstanding territorial issues of Paraguay and Argentina to win over Argentina to join the war.

The war lasted for three years, and the land that had been disputed with Paraguay had been occupied by Argentina. To continue the war was only to fulfill the obligations of the original alliance.

The purpose of Argentina's participation in the war is to get back the controversial territory. It is not in Argentina's national interest to completely eliminate Paraguay. Brazil has a large territory and a large population. If Paraguay, which has two large rivers and rivers, will become more powerful in Brazil, .

There is no eternal enemy in front of the country. For the benefit of Argentina, the political leaders in Argentina are not good enough to tear up the alliance agreement, so they use uncooperative methods to pull the Brazilians back.

Argentina's non-cooperation at the critical moment gave Garcia a problem. Leaving them on the front line is futile and it is not good for the war. It is not Garcia's decision to agree that their withdrawal from Argentina. Considering again, Garcia came up with a The zhongzhong method was to relocate the Argentine troops to the rear for refurbishment.

Garcia made this decision with confidence. There were more than 20,000 defenders in the Fortress of Huneta, less than half of the Brazilian army. It was very difficult for them to make a frontal breakout. West Asia also has the confidence to surround Humei Tower Fortress defensively.

It is agreed that the refurbishment of the Argentine troops is not without conditions. The Argentine army must not intervene in the seizures and various gains of the subsequent occupation of Paraguay.

Mireit received domestic instructions, and naturally he would not compete with Garcia for these benefits, and quickly reached an agreement. Mireit led the Argentine troops to leave the front line and set up a camp in Moressa, only to lead the troops back to Argentina until the end of the war.

Formosa was behind the position of the Chinese Independent Army's capture of the warship. In order to avoid the exposure of the warship in advance after the capture of the battleship, the Chinese Independent Army gave up attacking the Argentine army of Formosa and went straight to the main Brazilian force.

The Argentine army left the front line, and Garcia was cleaned for a few days, but the good days did not last long. The lack of news from the detours made him gradually anxious.

The 5,000 troops were selected from the main forces. No news came a few days ago. He also thought that the war might be going well. The troops were attacking Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay. However, nearly ten days have passed. The **** fleet that returned the last news three days ago could not be reached.

"Are there accidents between the circuitous forces and the fleet?" Garcia thought a bad idea in his mind,

Paraguay's main force is besieged at the Tiger Fortress. Argentina and Uruguay are allies of Brazil. Garcia can't think of any other forces that can pose a threat to the detours and the fleet.

When he couldn't think of the reason, he stopped thinking about it. Garcia once again sent a patrol to check the news. If no news was returned one day later, he would have to find out the truth himself.

Garcia's commander arrived at the naval station near the river to convey Garcia's order.

The Brazilian naval officer guarding the coast was a little puzzled: "Since yesterday, three patrol fleets have been dispatched to contact the responding fleet. No one has returned to the base. Is there a major incident there?"

"I don't know. I'm only responsible for transmitting the command of the commander. The chief still acts according to the order. As for the other aspects, naturally, the chiefs are responsible."

The captain conveying the order shrugged, a serious look.

Usually, the order was not transmitted by a captain, but this time something was abnormal, so Garcia sent a captain staff of the command to board the ship and contact the fleet and the circuitous army.

"Sir, the commander doesn't have much time. You still have to arrange the boat quickly. I have to set off to complete the task the commander ordered."

"This brother waits a moment, I will arrange it immediately."

In recent years, Prussia defeated the Danish and Austrian empires, and the country ’s strength and influence quickly increased. Even the various systems implemented by Prussia were imitated by South American countries. The Brazilian empire set up a staff department in accordance with the Prussian army. Staff officers from domestic nobles and large capitalists The son Zhong chose it, so although the commanding officer was only a captain, the Zhong officer who was in charge of naval vessel management at the riverside did not dare to slacken off and talked a little with the staff. The officer quickly instructed the sailors to prepare the ship.

Because it was Garcia who gave the order himself, the ship was quickly ready. The staff officer got on the ship and was about to order the ship to start, but saw two iron armored ships belonging to the Brazilian Navy.

There were a total of five warships with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons in the Brazilian Empire. Three were sent to fight in Paraguay, and the other two remained at the Brazilian coastal base to protect the country's offshore safety.

Staff officers of the three iron armored warships accompanying the Brazilian army were very familiar. At first glance, he recognized that the two iron armored ships on the river were the lost news of Goiania and Maceio.

"Sir, that's the Goiania and the Maceio. Do we have to go on a mission?"

The fleet to be contacted appeared in front of him. The captain of the gunboat did not know if he would continue to sail, and turned his head to ask.

"No, the **** fleet is not that big. There are too many ships behind!"

The navy zhong laughed and understood the fleet more clearly than others, and immediately saw that the large and small transport ships behind the iron armored ships felt wrong.

Two iron armoured ships approached the entrance of the Brazilian warship, and the huge black muzzle slowly lifted up, aiming at the Brazilian warship on the shore.

"No, the armored ship is not ours!"

The Zhong School of the Navy first noticed the enemy situation and heard a huge roar as soon as it was said, and then a sailing warship next to it was fired.

The sail ship's hull was weak in anti-strike capability, and a single round of the main gun was enough to cause great damage to it.

The shells entered from the front of the hull, just passing through the ammunition room of the sailing ship. The roar sounded one after another. The fire caused by gunpowder instantly covered the entire sailing ship. With a click, the sailing ship that had been subjected to cannonball blasts broke in half. After the fire burned and sank into the water, the iron armored ship attacked suddenly, and a cannonball destroyed the sail ship. Hundreds of Brazilian naval soldiers on the ship became the funerary of the ship before they had time to respond.

"Fuck, how did you do that, didn't I let you aim at that iron armored ship to fire? How did you miss it!"

On the Dawn, Chen Sen, who was temporarily the captain, loudly reprimanded the Brazilian sailors who operated the main gun.

Chen Sen was discovered by Li Mingyuan while searching for a golden treasure in Lake Kala. He then performed well in the training course of the Marine Division Frogman Unit, gradually surpassed other competitors, and gained the opportunity to command the Frogman Unit.

After capturing two iron armored warships ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Unavailable Li Mingyuan arranged Chen Sen on the Chaoyang warship and served as the captain of the warship with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons. This opportunity did not come easily, Chen Sen planned By taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the Brazilian army, he gained an important position in the newly established Chinese naval force zhong, but he explicitly ordered the attack on the iron armored ship anchored by the river, but the captive sailor hit the wrong target, although others may not see the problem I thought that Chen Sen commanded it properly, killing the enemy a main battleship with one gun, but in the eyes of Chen Sen, it was a very serious problem. At the time of the battle, the gunner deliberately released water.

"Aim at the armored ship and fire again, and you will break your head with one shot."

Chen Sen pulled out his short gun and threatened the captive gunner's head.

The captured gunner couldn't understand Chen Sen's words, but his aggressive look easily conveyed the meaning in his words.

Brazilian gunners did not want to be part of yesterday's killed comrades-in-arms, operating the artillery in trenches and targeting the Brazilian army.
