Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 146: Reactions from all parties

The sky is still unknown, and Asuncion in the mist is shrouded in haze.

"DaDa" the rapid hooves sounded from near and far, and finally stopped in front of the presidential palace.

"Emergency report ahead, tell the president quickly!"

The cavalry quickly dismounted and retrieved the letter from Istigial.

The soldier on duty received the letter and walked quickly into the presidential palace.

The residential area behind the presidential palace is brightly lit, and Lopez Jr. is sitting at his desk browsing the government report presented by the officials below.

Hearing a rush of footsteps outside, Lopez lowered the report in his hand and stood up and walked towards the outside hall.

In the early hours of the morning, entering the president's residence without a guard's briefing must have an important situation report.

Paraguay is calm, and the major event must be in the Misiones area where it is at war.

Little Lopez guessed the contents of the emergency report as he walked, and when he reached the hall, the guard had just arrived.

"President, a letter written by Colonel Istigali."

Little Lopez took the letter, opened the envelope and glanced quickly. After a few minutes, a smile appeared on the tight face.

Weapons and ammunition traded from Rio Grande do Sul were quickly consumed in Misiones, but the gains were very limited. Several poor and backward towns, more than 100 square kilometers of land far from the Parana River, were inaccessible to Paraguayans. These places gain effective benefits.

The war is prolonged, the domestic people ’s enthusiasm for participating in the war is waning, and the pressure on Lopez Jr. is growing.

The Misiones conflict is not the Paraguayan war. The Paraguayan war fought natively. Lopez Jr. used Paraguay's closed territories to smear the image of the Brazilian army and described them as killing and blinking demons and intimidating Paraguayan people. After the Brazilian army occupies the entire territory, all Paraguayans will be reduced to their trophies. The elderly and children will be ruthlessly slaughtered, women will be reduced to slaves, and young men will be concentrated in the mines for heavy mining.

Under the pressure of the army, Paraguay's main force retreated into the country, and panic-free Paraguayan civilians believed the statement of Lopez Jr. and fully resisted the Brazilian army.

Victory in the Paraguayan war, while ordinary people worshiped Lopez Jr., and their attention turned to the issues of food and life related to themselves.

Misiones is far beyond the borders of the country. Lopez Jr. claims that the just war to regain the land can arouse the enthusiasm of the people for a while, but after the enthusiasm, they are more concerned about the small things around them.

After all, the loud slogan was nothing. Lopez Jr. initially shifted domestic contradictions, and the strategy of solid governance caused an embarrassing situation, overwhelming, and consuming materials and weapons in vain.

Lopez Jr. continued the war under pressure. At this time, a timely letter from Istigar gave him the victory he needed.

Morandi is located in the upper reaches of the area controlled by Argentina. It descends from Morandi by boat, and the coastal area is unguarded, and the attacking fleet can go directly below Posadas.

The occupation of Morandi is equivalent to tying a rein to the Argentine troops south of Misiones. The Argentine troops need to be prepared for the offensive of the Paraguayan army.

Lopez Jr. paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about how to return to Istigari.

Paraguay's domestic army has just restored its 25,000 size, and more than 10,000 of them are recruits.

Taking into account domestic defense and logistical pressure, Lopez Jr. can only provide up to 3,000 troops to support the front line, and there is a 2,000 gap with at least 5,000 soldiers required by Istiqal.

The 3,000-reinforced soldiers and 5,000 front-line troops are not too many in total, but in the face of the remnants of the Argentine army in the south, the forces of the Istiqal force have a considerable advantage.

A decision was made in his heart, and Lopez Jr. gave an order immediately,

First of all, the frontline troops were rewarded for their merit, and they were promoted to the rank of Major General Istigal. All frontline soldiers issued two months of military badges, and the military rewards were settled for land after the war.

Secondly, a force consisting of 3,000 veterans was deployed, and a trusted general led the team to aid Istigar.

Little Lopez dispatched troops to continue to expand the results, but the Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, was dull and sad.

"Morandi fell, the garrison troops fled back only a hundred or two hundred people, and the southern Misiones were underpowered.

Everyone talks about what to do? "

Argentina President Sarmiento sank.

Participants included officials of the presidential palace and representatives of local forces. Before attending the meeting, only a few people knew the content of the meeting.

"Paraguay stormed and occupied the city. The troop's casualties must be very large. We can order the frontline troops to concentrate their forces to launch a counterattack. While the Paraguayans are not stable, they will recapture Morandi."

A general in the presidential camp spoke first.

"Inappropriately, the Paraguayan occupation of Morandi will strengthen the city defense as soon as possible. If our army launches an offensive at this time, it will just fall into the trap established by the Paraguayans. They can use the fortifications around the strong city and Morandi. Consume the strength of the offensive forces until they are brought down. "

Another middle-aged general with a beard objected.

"Paraguayans can capture Morandi, why can't our army!

The president, ordered the frontline troops to immediately launch a counterattack, which was delayed, and the Paraguayans had a firm foothold in Morandi. At that time, it was more difficult to recover. "

The general who spoke first insisted on his own opinions, and ignored others, and suggested to Sarmiento directly.

"Huh! It's not that I look down on the frontline forces. If they had the courage to die in Paraguayan, why would Morandi lose it?"

"Federal soldiers bleed and sacrifice on the front lines, Ferner, where are your army in Corrientes!

Fearful and timid, I think you are scared by Paraguayans, and you want to run away when you hear Paraguayans' names! "

Ferna's unauthorized return to the country during the Paraguayan war was his deliberately hidden scandal, which was unveiled in public by an officer younger than ten years younger.

"Asshole, do you still have seniors in your eyes? Don't think that someone can stand up and talk nonsense. The army is a place where strength speaks, not a stage where you perform hard!"

Ferna had been in the army for many years, and even when he became angry, he did not forget to elevate his position and teach each other as an elder in the army.

Seeing the two sides shift from the battlefield dispute to the internal contradictions, Sarmiento slaps the table angrily: "Ferner, this is the presidential palace, not your army. And you Grace, General Ferner is an elder in the army Don't be too presumptuous! "

It seems fair to play each of the 50 boards, but in fact it is biased towards Grace. Sarmiento strongly prevented the conference disputes and turned his eyes to former President Mitre.

"President, Moranda has fallen, the situation in Misiones has deteriorated, the country's territories are facing violations, and major domestic issues in Argentina require you to make arrangements!"

Mitre gave up the presidency only two months. Sarmiento defeated his competitors with his strong support and ascended to the throne of the president. Therefore, Sarmiento was very respectful.

"Rio Grande South has continued to increase its forces to San Pedro after the outbreak of the conflict. Their intention is obvious. They want to take advantage of the opportunity of the two sides to fight to make it cheap, so the frontline troops must not move lightly."

Although Mitre no longer serves as president, his accumulated prestige for two consecutive terms has overwhelmed everyone present. Mitre spoke with attitude, and no one objected.

"Morandi is lost, and the southern Misiones are threatened by Paraguayans, but this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that if we assume that Paraguay invades our country ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, it will leave Paraguay and the Chinese weak and vulnerable Image, and then made even more demanding.

The Paraguayan war fought for three years. I am familiar with the character of Lopez Jr., who is a war madman since Napoleon. He wants to build Paraguay into South American France and become a South American hegemon.

In the Paraguayan war, Lopez paid a bitter price, but the victory of the war confirmed his correctness in launching the war to acquire the land. The attack on Misiones was a premeditated temptation. He wanted to test the strength of the Argentine troops and then formulate based on the results. Related war plans. "

The analysis summarized by Mitre not only accords with the thought of Lopez Jr., but Li Mingyuan also has a similar purpose. The difference is that Li Mingyuan is used to step by step. Unlike Lopez, he is brave and courageous, and dares to risk the country as a bet.

"Lopez Jr. is too greedy and must not let him reach his goal. It does n’t matter if Morandi is lost or not, but we need to pay the Paraguayans enough price to make Lopez Jr. understand that with Paraguay's population of only 200,000 and 300,000, Can't beat Argentina! "

The last word of Mittre determined the outcome of the meeting. The frontline troops remained unmoved, increasing their strength from Buenos Aires and preventing the Paraguayan army from continuing.
