Rebirth of South America as King

The soldiers of the 500th Mixed Brigade and the Artillery Brigade were separated from the westward troops, continued their journey, and reached San Pedro four days later.

At the turn of the Uruguay River, three stone fortresses are distributed in a triangular position. On the open space in the middle of the fortress, more than a thousand soldiers divided into two parts and stood in a team. A few dozen meters away from the army, hundreds of heavy trucks piled up. Full of weapons ammunition and some medicine food.

The first mixed brigade brigade commander Wang Dashan came down from the fortress tower and walked straight towards the open space.

"Leader Zhou, leader Wu Ying, haven't seen you in a long time."

Wang Dashan came on horseback and greeted the two officers from the distance.

"Good brigadier!"

The two men saluted in unison to the march of Wang Dashan.

"One of the three regiments of the Second Mixed Brigade and the second battalion of the 105mm Howitzer Regiment of the Independent Artillery Brigade was ordered to move San Pedro, please ask the brigade command!"

"Three regiments and the Second Artillery Battalion stand by!"

Wang Dashan dismounted and stood straight, and returned a military salute.

After completing the troop handover ceremony step by step, Wang Dashan laughed and said, "Are you going well along the way?"

"The troops sailed by boat before arriving in Passofonte. It was all right, but on the way from Passofonto to San Pedro, they encountered several small Argentine troops and seized several Argentina. The soldiers learned through interrogation that San Pedro was at war with Morandi and they were the vandals who escaped from Morandi.

Hearing that the fighting in the border area was tense, the subordinates and Yingying Wu were worried about San Pedro's safety, so they hurried to the road and arrived one day earlier than the staff requested. "

Said the head of Zhou.

"The city of Morandi was conquered by the Paraguayan army. The Argentine collapse you encountered should find that the southern region is not working before you risk passing through our region."

Wang Dashan analyzes.

"The staff member is worried that the Argentine military collapse will disrupt the order in our territory. A team of soldiers has been ordered to be held in custody. Brigadier Wang may interrogate them again, maybe he can get more information about the frontline troops in Argentina."

"No, Colonel Istigal, frontline commander of Misiones Paraguay, invited me to visit Morandi. There I can directly observe Morandi's post-war battlefield, assess the intensity of the situation, and capture a few soldiers And there is no useful information from them. "

Wang Dashan rejected the suggestion of Zhou's head and scanned the soldiers standing in the open space, feeling a bit wrong.

"Leader Zhou, are all your people here?"

Wang Dashan heard the sentinel report that reinforcements had arrived. It was speculated that a formal war with the Argentines would be launched. When the war started, the number of reinforcements would definitely not be less than 3,000. Even if the soldiers in the open space were not counted, they would definitely not There are more than 1,500 people, which is completely different from what I suspected.

"My people and Commander Wu's artillery battalion are all here. The other part is about 3,000 soldiers led by Chief Brigadier Zhou and separated from us halfway. We don't know their specific tasks."

"Three thousand soldiers did not reinforce San Pedro, but turned in other directions." Wang Dashan secretly realized the meaning of the head of the surname Zhou.

The troops operated separately and had a high degree of confidentiality. Wouldn't the real intention of the headquarters or Shiko be to fight against the Argentines in San Pedro? So what is the ultimate goal of the three thousand soldiers?

Wang Dashan frowned and couldn't think of a reasonable speculation. At this moment, the head of Zhou surnamed out a sealed letter and said: "Leader Zhou left a letter before leaving, instructing his staff to go to Saint-Paide. Luo Shi transferred it to Captain Wang. "

San Pedro is a frontier region, and the telegraph lines purchased from Prussia have not yet been laid here, so the Defense Forces passed military orders for the time being to rely on manpower.

"I understand the order of Shizi. You first go to the fortress for repairs. Tomorrow, Captain Wu will meet with Colonel Istigali tomorrow."

After reading the letter, Wang Dashan had a plan in mind and arranged for the road.

"Observe" ...

The next morning, Wang Dashan rushed to Morandi with a hundred soldiers on horseback.

"General Wang, welcome to Morandi!"

At the head of Morandi, the dense bullet marks and broken arms left by fierce battles a few days ago still exist, and Istigial personally greeted Wang Dashan under the city.

"My two armies are the firmest allies, and Colonel Istigari invites you sincerely.

The surface of Wang Dashan is bold.

"General King, the promotion order issued by President Lopez was passed to Morandi yesterday, His Excellency Istigal is now Major General of Paraguay."

The translator from Paraguay reminded.

"Oh, I don't know if the general is going up, don't blame it!"

"Anyway," Istiga waved his hand vigorously, his face filled with the joy of being promoted: "The city has prepared meals, let's talk to the city slowly."

"General Istigali first, please." Wang Dashan was half a step behind, and the two walked into Morandi City together.

Not only do Orientals like to discuss matters at the dinner table, Western diplomats mostly exchange their interests under the guise of holding a banquet party.

Dozens of people sat together in the living room, but few meals were eaten at the dinner table. The core of the banquet has always been Istigial and Wang Dashan.

"General Wang, the Argentine army ’s military strength is mediocre, and the fighting force is weak. Now that our army has defeated the main Argentine army of Misiones, the city of Morandi has been successfully recaptured. Don't want to take advantage of the favorable time created by our army to join the war against Argentina? "

The banquet was not as simple as eating and chatting, but Istigali's direct inquiry from the beginning was still somewhat unexpected by Wang Dashan.

"The Misiones conflict is a war between your country and Argentina. Our army respects the positions of the two countries and will strictly maintain neutrality. We will not send troops unless the war involves our country's interests."

Wang Dashan was ambiguous.

"The power to decide to go to war is in the hands of His Majesty the Grand Prix of Rio Grande do Sul, and I understand that the general is cautious."

Istigali didn't take it seriously, but said in his mouth, "However, the news that your country sells weapons and ammunition to our army cannot hide the Argentines. In their eyes, selling arms to Paraguay is destroying neutrality and enemies against Argentina. , Even if your country does not go to war with Argentina, they will still consider your country and Paraguay as associates, colluding against Argentina. "

"How the Argentines think about it is their job. As a soldier, my role is to fulfill the order given by the son, and naturally other people are responsible for other matters."

"Politics has nothing to do with soldiers, and I admire General Wang's rules of conduct." Istigial poured a glass of wine for Wang Dashan himself, and said, "This is our specialty wine from Paraguay. General Wang also tastes it."

"General Xie's fine wine." Wang Dashan did not treat him politely, took the wine glass and drank it.

After pouring three glasses of wine to Wang Dashan, Istigial seemed to be indifferent: "Your army has sent two troops to San Pedro twice, can't you just stay on the side and watch the show?"

"The two armies fought, and Seiko was worried about triggering unnecessary conflicts, so he sent more troops to San Pedro, and the general need not think much."

After replying, Wang Dashan asked: "His President, His Excellency Lopez, has worked hard, led your military and civilians to defeat the strong Brazilian empire, and recovered a large number of territories occupied by Brazil. According to the same military strength, His victory was completely No less than Emperor Napoleon.

His Excellency Lopez is known as Napoleon of South America, and he also contributed to the country. So why not be a real Napoleon of South America? "

Istigali was shocked. This was the first person who told him that Lopez Jr. should be king. He was accustomed to the Republican constitution of Paraguay's decades of independence. The monarchy hardly appeared in Istigali's heart. He had never imagined what a monarchy would look like in Paraguay.

"General King can't say that President Lopez is deeply loved by the nation and will not do the dictatorship of the monarch."

"I'm just curious ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Please treat the army where it's rude."

Wang Dashan tells the truth, in his mind, the monarchy is the correct political system. Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Han people have always been the monarchy. The country and the monarch are one. There is no monarch, so the country is not in trouble. ?

Istigal's heart was not as firm as he said, not to mention the second half of the nineteenth century, that is, the beginning of the twentieth century, the monarchy was still the mainstream system in the world.

In the South American continent, the composition of indigenous, white, and black slaves is complex. The United States vigorously fostered republican forces when South America became independent. The American continent had no aristocratic foundations. Various factors were mixed together, which led to the republic becoming the preferred system of South American countries. The rest of the world, whether it is Europe, Asia, or uncivilized Africa, is a monarchy, with the exception of South America, which has to be said to be strange.

A simple question by Wang Dashan disturbed the mind of Istigarli, and the main purpose to be raised below was also inadvertently considered.

The banquet quickly ended shortly after, and Istigial asked the soldiers to arrange for Wang Dashan and others to stay in the city and return to the room to think alone.
