Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Chapter 467 Proxy War in South America

South America, which is the backyard of America, is actually not without wars.

Taking the current top three in South America as an example, the Brazilian Empire, Argentina, and Chile, which one is not famous for its reputation?

Stretching the timeline a little longer, the Republic of Gran Colombia is the dominant power in South America.

Seeing Daxia sign a trade agreement with Chile, Millicent felt threatened, so Millican also began to contact Chile's rivals Peru and Bolivia, hoping that the two countries could send troops to intervene in Chile and interrupt the agreement between Chile and Daxia. .

To talk about the relationship between Peru, Bolivia and Chile, we need to start with a war decades ago.

To put it simply, a war broke out between the three countries because of the distribution problem of a saltpeter mine.

The process of the war is not important. What is important is that the war started by the John Empire and America ended with Chile's victory.

The result of the war was that Peru and Bolivia regarded Chile as their mortal enemy.

After all, the process of industrialization that the two countries wanted to achieve was also interrupted after this war. Can the two countries not hate Chile?

As the saying goes, I am not only afraid that my brother will have a hard time, but I am also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover.

The rejuvenation of my country was interrupted, but I watched helplessly as my neighbors lived a good life. Now that we have signed a trade agreement with Daxia, life is about to get better and better.

Peru and Bolivia, with old and new hatreds welling up in their hearts, immediately agreed to Millican's suggestion and prepared to start war mobilization.

Of course, all this requires the United States to pay dollars.

As for Milician, in order to prevent Daxia from expanding its influence in South America and drag Daxia into the quagmire of war in South America, she readily agreed.

When Chile saw that its two defeated generals had united again and wanted to show their teeth, Chile did not hesitate and immediately began mobilizing for war.

On October 1913, 10, the coalition forces of the two countries, which had completed war mobilization, took the lead in launching an attack on Chile.

The two countries formed a strong army of 14 people and rashly attacked the provinces of Tarapacá and Arica that were captured by Chile in the last war.

Chile learned that the war had begun and quickly dispatched [-] troops to the front line.

This time, the Republic of Chile still uses the slogan of "defending the country." In addition, since the last war, Chile's national strength has been enhanced, which has improved the living standards of its people.

Therefore, the morale of the soldiers in the army formed by Chile this time is very high.

At this time, the upper echelons of the Republic of Chile still believed that this was a war that could be easily won.

However, once the war started, Chile was stunned.

The coalition forces of the two countries on the opposite side used a large amount of American-style equipment. Both artillery and firearms are much higher than Chile.

In addition, Miljian knew that he could not afford to lose this war. If he lost, Daxia's tentacles would reach into his back garden, which was absolutely unacceptable to Miljian.

Therefore, the weapons and equipment that America supports Peru and Bolivia this time are all their current equipment, and they are not obsolete goods at all.

Therefore, as soon as the Chilean army with old weapons arrived at the front line, they were washed away by the artillery fire of the two countries' coalition forces, and they ran back crying after being beaten.

When the Chilean senior officials saw it, they were like, good guys, the people on the other side are playing dirty tricks. In this case, they were not polite and started negotiating directly with the Daxia mission, hoping to purchase Daxia weapons.

Daxia was originally thinking about how to further expand its influence in South America, and the Republic of Chile took the initiative to come to the door.

If you want to say what is the most profitable business in the world, it must be arms.

But in Lin Yi's words, what is business or not? Daxia just wants to help his dear Latin American brothers get rid of the oppression of America.

So in terms of weapons, in one word, sell!

Moreover, I, Daxia, like Milician, do not sell old weapons, I sell current equipment directly!

Therefore, along with an edict stamped with the imperial seal, it was immediately sent to the Yinglong Fleet Base on Oahu in the form of a telegram.

As the eastern Pacific base of Yinglong Fleet, there are [-] army troops stationed here.

The purpose is to threaten Millikin at all times so that he cannot fully support the European battlefield.

Although the troops stationed here are not as elite as the Longxiang Army and the Beijing Camp, they are still regular troops of the Great Xia Empire, and their weapons configuration is definitely not weak.

Various rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenades, everything from 37mm rapid-fire cannons to 90mm howitzers.

Of course, it's not that there are no heavy artillery pieces exceeding 90 mm, but as long as you're not stupid, you won't be able to sell large-caliber artillery during this time period.

Moreover, with the kind of infrastructure in Chile, even if Lin Yi is willing to sell it, Chile cannot afford it.

Therefore, the 90mm artillery is enough.

It is also worth mentioning that Daxia's support to Chile this time was very rapid, so fast that even the top Chilean officials did not react.

How to describe this speed?

The defeated army came back in the middle of the night, the telegram for help was sent in the morning, Daxia had approved the aid bill at noon, the order was issued in the afternoon, and the equipment was loaded on the ship in the evening.

The main thing is a shortcut.

In Lin Yi's words, everyone is a friend, and it is Daxia's duty to help friends.

As for how much this batch of aid will cost, we can talk about it slowly. Talking about money between brothers hurts feelings.

Anyway, just one sentence, you take the things first, and we can close the door and talk slowly about the rest. Anyway, I won’t trick you.

Some people may say that Daxia is stupid for doing this.

But, think about it on the other hand, is Daxia really stupid for doing this?

First of all, why does Daxia support Chile? It is to extend its influence to South America. As an outsider, if you want to expand your local influence as quickly as possible, what method should you use?

Of course, we work with local people.

Daxia has invested in Chile for a year, how could he deliberately ignore Chile's requirements during this period?

Moreover, the interests of Chile and Daxia are now aligned. To put it simply, Chile is the spokesperson of Daxia in South America.

Only by making achievements in Chile can we win over other South American countries.

And this is why America will support Peru and Bolivia in launching an immediate attack on Chile. To put it bluntly, this is a war fought with agents to compete for control of South America.

The entire Daxia Empire had anticipated this situation from the beginning, which is why weapons could be loaded onto ships as soon as the order was issued.

Because these weapons have been prepared for a long time.

Daxia even made plans not to charge for this batch of weapons.

Now that Daxia has made preparations and has reached a consensus, then simply being more free and easy and proactive will make those South American countries who are waiting and watching have a good impression of Daxia.

The purpose of Daxia's move is to make those countries see clearly that Daxia will go to great lengths for its friends, so please feel free to be friends with Daxia.
