Finally, Ecuador established an interim government, Alfredo Baquerizo Moreno was elected president of the interim government, and began negotiations with Colombia.

Faced with Moreno's request for peace talks, Colombia's internal opinions are divided into two groups. One group believes that the war with Ecuador should be ended and the war targets Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay.

To help Chile achieve final victory in the war.

The other group feels that the war should continue. Now with the support of the Daxia people, if Ecuador can be re-incorporated into the territory, then rebuilding Gran Colombia will not be a dream.

The opinions of both groups have their own merits.

In the end, the opinions of both groups were handed over to the Colombian president.

Colombian President José Vicente Concha is also somewhat unsure.

In fact, Concha was only elected this year. He is a member of the hawks. The original Colombian top management continued to fail in the face of Ecuador's attacks. In the end, the people chose Concha as the new president to lead Colombia to fight back against Ecuador.

After Concha came to power, he began to contact Daxia, and after receiving Daxia's support, he successfully counterattacked and brought the war to Ecuador.

Therefore, Kongcha is now very grateful to Daxia.

He feels that the current situation in Colombia is all due to Daxia. In order to maintain a good relationship with Daxia for a long time in the future.

He felt that he should negotiate with Daxia and ask Daxia for his opinion on the matter of armistice.

When Kong Cha inquired about Daxia, the opinions within Daxia were actually not unified.

In fact, from Daxia's perspective, Daxia does not want to see the emergence of a superpower in South America. Although, even if Gran Colombia is re-established, it will still be weak against Daxia.

However, with the emergence of Gran Colombia, he also has the foundation to become a powerful country. Therefore, with so many countries in South America, Daxia can better control the entire Pacific Ocean.

Such remarks have a large number of supporters among the Daxia Military Department.

But some people think that if Colombia is prevented from rebuilding Gran Colombia, it will cause dissatisfaction in Colombia, which will then affect the empire's layout in South America.

However, after discussion, the Daxia Military Headquarters still felt that the attack on Ecuador should be suspended. Instead, target Peru and end the war in South America as soon as possible.

After receiving the suggestion from Daxia, Concha also said he could accept it.

In fact, Concha himself felt that now was not the best time to annex Ecuador. You must know that the previous disintegration of the Republic of Gran Colombia included not only the uneven distribution of internal interests, but also certain conflicts between ethnic groups.

Here we need to talk about the history of South America as a whole. As we all know, America used to be the territory of Indians. But Indians are also divided into different groups.

For example, the Incas, Aztecs, and Mayans are the original inhabitants of the Americas.

There have been cooperations and disputes among these three races throughout the thousand-year history. Therefore, historically, these three major races have not been dealt with very well.

In addition, European colonists later transported a large number of black people from Africa to South America, gradually forming the current situation in South America.

But those black people were also captured from different tribes. Like the indigenous people of South America, there were also various conflicts.

Therefore, in addition to the distribution of interests, there are also inherent ethnic conflicts in South American countries.

When Ecuador withdrew from Gran Colombia, one of the reasons was due to the dominant ethnic group in the region.

If this problem is not solved, even if Ecuador is forcibly annexed, Ecuador will still stand up and cause trouble in the near future.

It is true that Concha is a hawk, but he is a relatively calm person. Since there would be various contradictions in forcibly annexing Ecuador, why should we forcibly annex it?

On the contrary, Concha felt that it would be a more prudent approach to take a milder route, start from the people, and let the people at the bottom decide to join Gran Colombia.

If you want to win the favor of the people at the bottom, the easiest way is to give them enough benefits.

Therefore, Concha feels that a truce now is a good decision.

After Concha expressed his thoughts in Congress, the Colombian Congress also approved Concha's decision. So Colombia sent envoys and began to contact Ecuador.

However, Concha's opinion is that war compensation and other issues can be postponed until the war in South America is over. The top priority now is to ask Ecuador to open the border and allow the Colombian army to pass through their territory and come from the north. Attack Peru.

According to Concha's opinion, the envoys came to Quito and after meeting Ecuador's interim president Moreno, they proposed Colombia's request.

What can Moreno do in the face of Colombia's demands? He could only agree to the other party's request.

As a result, the Colombian army that had already invaded Ecuador immediately began to gather in Cagliamanga, southern Ecuador. At the same time, in Arica, Colombia, Colombia also gathered an army, and then prepared to attack Peru from two directions, one on the left and one on the right.

In fact, judging from this tactical arrangement, it is easy to see that this is Daxia's typical pincer offensive.

Attack the enemy from the left and right directions. As long as the enemy has any improper command at this time, this pincer offensive can cause huge casualties to the enemy.

This method of attack is the favorite of the Daxia military, as it can make the enemy focus on one thing and miss the other.

According to the deployment of the Daxia Officer Corps, Colombia's [-]-strong army invaded Peru in a pincer shape on the left and right.

At this time, the main force of Peru was still resisting Chile and Argentina in southern Peru.

The temporarily formed army faced the redressed Colombian army in the north and could be said to be on the verge of collapse.

From April 1914, 4, the Colombian army officially entered Peru, until April 3, 1914, in just over half a month, the Colombian army occupied the provinces of Loreto, Amazonas, and Cajama Province of Ca, Saint Martin. The troops were directed towards Lima, the capital of Peru.

Facing the enemy forces besieging them from all sides, Peru also felt that it was powerless.

Large-scale riots and protests broke out in the country. The rebellious people held flags and walked on the streets of Lima. They shouted slogans: "Peruvians should not bleed for America" ​​and rallied towards the presidential palace.

The Peruvian top brass were collectively panicked at this time.

So Peruvian high-level officials sent envoys to start peace talks with Chile and other countries, hoping to withdraw from the war.

Similarly, seeing Peru being attacked from the north and the south, Bolivia and Paraguay also knew that Peru's surrender was close at hand.

After Peru surrendered, the next target of the Chilean coalition forces was definitely their own people.

Bolivia and Paraguay, who did not want the enemy to invade their own countries, also decided to surrender and wanted to end the war with dignity.

Chile, Argentina and Colombia all welcome this situation.
