Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The Republic of Gran Colombia is a powerful country that emerged from the great independence movement in South America.

Although his existence was short, he played a very important role in South American history. It was precisely because of the emergence of the Republic of Gran Colombia that the Spanish rule in South America collapsed.

The Republic of Gran Colombia has sent troops many times to support other South American countries in getting rid of Spanish control. It can be said that without the Republic of Gran Colombia, the South American independence movement would not have been so smooth.

If the Republic of Gran Colombia had always existed, then it would now be Brazil's turn to be the most powerful country in South America.

When it comes to the disintegration of the Republic of Gran Colombia, aside from some of their internal conflicts, such as conflicts of interest in various franchised regions, the fundamental reason is still the issue of the state system.

When Bolivar, the founder of the Republic of Gran Colombia, founded Gran Colombia, he did not take back the administrative power of each region, and the regions were only in a relatively loose alliance.

This kind of loose alliance can cooperate with each other and exchange knowledge when facing a strong enemy, but once the strong enemy disappears, their own contradictions will be reflected.

Each franchise area competes for power and blames each other.

When Bolivar was still alive, he was barely able to suppress such separatist thoughts, but what happens once Bolivar dies?

And this is how history develops.

After Bolivar's death, Ecuador was the first to announce its withdrawal from the alliance. Subsequently, Gran Colombia was divided into Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela and Panama.

In fact, after so many years, these countries have been thinking about re-establishing the Republic of Gran Colombia, but the parties are not strong and have no ability to annex the other parties.

But now, after Ecuador has been strengthened by American weapons, the proposal to rebuild the Republic of Gran Colombia is placed in front of Ecuador's top leaders.

At this time, the battlefield in Europe was in full swing, and Millikin continued to provide blood transfusions to Europe and South America, leaving them no extra energy to care about other things.

In the southern region of South America, the coalition forces of Chile and Argentina defeated Peru, while the coalition forces of Bolivia and Paraguay were retreating steadily.

This means that no one in the entire American continent can stop Ecuador.

As a result, Ecuadorian leaders rashly declared war on Colombia at the end of January 1914 and dispatched an army of 1 people to approach the Colombian border.

Colombia has been in a state of weakened national power since the Gran Colombia era. It can be said that even though it is almost a hundred years ago, Colombians have never recovered.

Therefore, Colombia maintains a neutral attitude towards all matters in South America and waits to see what happens.

It is also commonly known as melon-eating. Colombia is a very good melon-eating group. But they never thought that one day, eating melon would eat their own heads.

Faced with Ecuador's sudden declaration of war, Colombia was not fully prepared.

In a hurry to respond, Colombia was defeated. In just one month, Colombia lost the three administrative provinces of Nariño, Putumayo, and Cauca in the southwest.

The Ecuadorian army has entered the Valley Administrative Province and is approaching Cali, an important city in the southwest. If Cali is lost, the Ecuadorian army can directly invade Tolima in the next step.

Behind Tolima is Bogotá, the capital of Colombia.

Once the city of Bogota is also occupied by the Eritrean army, then Colombia will basically be destroyed. Therefore, Colombian senior officials are thinking of negotiating peace with Ecuador and ceding the three provinces already occupied by Ecuador.

But Ecuador saw his frontline victory after victory, and his confidence suddenly skyrocketed, feeling that this was his true strength. As a result, Ecuador's top leaders rejected Colombia's peace talks and asked the frontline troops to continue the offensive and strive to end the war within six months.

Colombia was forced to find another way out.

As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. This saying is valid at all times and in all countries.

Now that they saw that the Eritrean army still refused to let them go after occupying a large area of ​​territory, Colombia's top leaders also made a mistake and directly chose to join the Chilean camp.

After all, no one who can lead a country is stupid these days.

The top brass in Colombia know very well that the Ecuadorian army is backed by Millijan, and going to Millijan on their own is likely to be ignored.

Since Milician is unlikely to be willing to help him, he might as well go to Daxia people.

Therefore, after more than ten days of talks, Colombia announced on February 1914, 2, that it would join the Chilean camp to jointly resist the Peruvian invasion of Chile.

This is equivalent to Colombia siding with Daxia.

Daxia was also unambiguous, announcing later that day that it would provide emergency assistance to Colombia with a batch of equipment sufficient to arm [-] people.

Moreover, since the current situation in Colombia is not stable, Daxia will send officers to help Colombia train soldiers until Colombia is able to protect itself.

The subtext of this sentence is that the Daxia people will command and train the Colombian army, and do not rule out the possibility of directly sending troops to help Colombia regain its lost territory.

This time, Ecuador was knocked unconscious.

He did not expect that Colombia would turn to Daxia so decisively.

At this time, Ecuador wanted to go to peace talks with Colombia, but was rejected by Colombia.

Are you kidding me? Now that Daxia has come to help him, he still has to choose to compromise with Ecuador? As long as there is nothing wrong with your brain, you will never do this.

On February 1914, 2, a batch of supplies from the Bactrian Empire arrived at the port of Baia Sonano in Choco Province, Colombia. This first batch of weapons is enough to arm an army of 24 people, including various rifles, light and heavy machine guns and artillery.

Of course, following the arrival of these weapons, there were a thousand veterans sent by Daxia. They will be dispersed into the Colombian army and serve as junior officers.

After a short period of integration, these newly redressed troops began to rush to the front line.

In fact, it is not that Colombia does not want to give these soldiers more time to integrate, but that Ecuador does not want to give them more time.

After all, Ecuador's top leaders are not stupid. They know very well that Daxia has openly supported Colombia and has begun to equip the Colombian army with weapons.

The longer time passes, the better the Colombian Army will be able to make better use of the Daxia people's weapons. In other words, the longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

Therefore, Ecuador's top leaders could only choose this time to launch an attack, preparing to defeat the Colombians and force them to the negotiation table before the Colombians were ready.

Now Ecuador's top leaders no longer fantasize about annexing Colombia. After all, with the support of the Daxia people, it is unrealistic to annex Colombia.
