Rebirth of South America as King

Lion Bo rabbit, still doing their best. In order to win the Argentine War, Li Mingyuan called on the national power accumulated in the Han Dynasty for ten years.

On April 28, the last 20,000-strong police force rushed from Santa Fe City to the Buenos Aires Barracks. At this point, the number of IDF troops gathered outside Buenos Aires It reached 150,000, almost twice the number of Argentine garrisons in the city.

A total of 220,000 Chinese troops were deployed in Argentina. In addition to the 150,000 main forces surrounding the siege of Buenos Aires, the remaining 70,000 were mainly distributed in three major strategic directions.

The first unit was stationed in Santa Fe and Parana Rosario, and was responsible for the reinforcement of Buenos Aires by the northern and central provinces such as Cordoba.

The second unit, deployed in Juning and Pergamino, is mainly responsible for monitoring the movement of the Argentine troops in Mendoza Province and preventing the threat of the local forces in central Argentina to the flank of the National Defense Forces.

The third unit consists of a portion of the National Defense Forces and Mapuche Nomads, with a size of about 6,000. Their combat mission is to attack the dispersed Argentine militia forces and weaken the southern region's reinforcements to the Argentina Federal District.

The size of the three forces is different, and they also undertake different combat tasks.

At the end of April, as the siege of Buenos Aires entered a state of anxiety, the president's appeal letter was sent to the local provinces one by one.

On April 22, the first local troops set off from Mendoza Province to reinforce Buenos Aires.

On April 27, Urquisa, who was impatient and waited for Mitre to fight with the National Defense Forces, thought that it was time to announce that he would send 20,000 troops to clear Buenos Aires.

Urquisa is the most powerful force among the local warlords in Argentina. With his clear position, warlords in other provinces have sent troops in varying numbers, from the north, west, Three positions in the south launched an offensive against the Defence Forces.

The flames of war raged around Buenos Aires, and the scale of the war continued to grow with time.

There are several battles a day, and one big battle in three or five days. The intensified war quickly consumed the National Defense Army's war reserve. A group of former militiamen who were organized in advance was continuously transferred from the country to the front line, or the frontline was damaged by simple selection. Or, immediately form a logistics transport team of different sizes to provide the necessary combat materials to front-line troops.

The sharp increase in material consumption and casualties is the core reason for Li Mingyuan's eagerness to end the siege of Buenos Aires at an early date. At the same time, the British Expeditionary Force is approaching and the British government is increasing the pressure on Brazil and Chile. Important factors to consider.

On April 27th, after twenty days of digging and preparing for each other, the British government finally dispatched an army of 10,000 British soldiers, 1,000 Italian soldiers, 400 Belgian soldiers, and more than 3,000 volunteers from various European countries. , Expedition to the South American continent, to support the Argentine government forces' defense operations against the National Defense Forces.

The ongoing Zulu war made the British realize that owning a large colony was not a worrying thing. The primitive backward South African Zulu gave the local British army more than 2,000 people with backward cold weapons. Casualties, and in order to suppress the unruly Zulu, the British government reassembled more than 10,000 regular local troops to support the South African battlefield.

The regular army is different from the colonial army with simple training and mixed with black indigenous people. A regular British army with tens of thousands of people fighting far away from the country means huge military expenditure and political influence.

At the same time, as the leader of the first Zulu war defeat, British Army Lieutenant General Chelmsford wanted to defeat the Zulu army and save his political career before he arrived in South Africa, succeeding Sir Gannett. Therefore, when the London government telegram was transmitted to South Africa and ordered Lieutenant General Chelmsford to transfer 3,000 colonial troops to join the British Expeditionary Forces, Chelmsford played a small trick and he sent the British troops in the army. The white soldiers were all pulled out and replaced by 3,000 indigenous black soldiers to fool the British government as an excuse to perform their duties.

The British Expeditionary Forces will arrive in South Africa in early May. After a few modifications, they will soon reach the coast of Argentina, leaving Li Mingyuan less and less time to occupy Buenos Aires.

On April 29, fighting outside of Buenos Aires started again, and the careful Argentine officer found that the IDF soldiers originally stationed in the west of Buenos Aires suddenly disappeared and served as the master. One of the battlefields was not attacked by IDF troops.

The situation of the National Defense Force was immediately notified to the President of Argentina, Mitre, and sent several small units to venture out of the city to investigate. After confirming the withdrawal of the National Defense Force from the passage of Buenos Aires to the western inland, some of the fighting will not be firm. Argentines have other ideas.

"Big president, the hearts of the troops in the city are floating, and some soldiers are dissatisfied with the huge casualties of defending the city. The intention to publicize the retreat of the abandoned city has caused a bad impact in the military camp.

. He also asked the big president to issue an order immediately to arrest the soldiers who spread the rumors and stabilize the army in the city. "

The Buenos Aires garrison floated, and Garriswig, the garrison commander, worried.

"The fighting is fierce, and the garrison troops suffered heavy casualties. It is inevitable that some soldiers will have some resentment in their hearts, but just because the soldiers complained and sent someone to arrest them will arouse greater resistance in the troops.

Grazweig, return to your headquarters to command the troops. I will send other people to deal with the floating forces in the city. "

Mitre sat on the edge of the bed, speaking weakly.

"but……"

"The situation in the city is complicated, and it can't be explained to you in a few words, Grazweig, do your job first."

Mitre had his problems in mind. Not everyone in the city was willing to obey his orders. The strength of the EFF was weakened. The Buenos Aires defense battle was not smooth. Many people had the ability to command Mitre. With suspicion, if the tension in the city continues to increase and the soldiers' words are oppressed, the accumulated contradictions are likely to erupt in unexpected ways.

Buenos Aires couldn't bear a blow from the inside, Mitre did not want his life to end, and Argentina was destroyed in his hands. Therefore, Gretzweig's proposal could only be put on hold.

"Big President ..."

"Is there anything else?"

"The Chilean side has replied. The Chilean President stated that the fighting with Bolivia and Peru is fierce. The Chilean Navy needs to be stationed in the homeland to defend against the attacks of the Bolivian and Peruvian navies. The Chilean Navy cannot withdraw before the British Expeditionary Force reaches South America. we."

"In excuses, if the Chilean government truly fulfills its agreement, they will not sit idly by and obliterate the entire Navy."

Mitre dropped his hands down on his abdomen, and continued to ask, "What's the Brazilian Empire doing? Where are their troops going now?"

"The Brazilian Army and the Han forces confronted each other on the front line of Joinvia. The Brazilian Navy launched several surprise attacks against the Han Navy. However, the results of the sneak attacks were not great. They only sank several Han ships."

"Brazil and Chile are waiting for the news of the British Expeditionary Force. The Expeditionary Force will not arrive. They are afraid that they will not actually send troops to support us."

Mitre sighed.

"Big President, the inland provinces are calling for militia to support the federal district, and the federal government may not be able to defeat the Han forces."

Grazweig comforted.

"The Federal District has been defeated, and local power groups such as Urquisa are also difficult to preserve. I hope they can understand this truth, temporarily abandon contradictions, and sincerely support the federal government in combat."

"Yes, His Excellency Urquisa was once the President of the Federation. He will not watch Argentina fall into the hands of the Han Chinese." ...

The icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow. The Argentine Federal Army in trouble would rather believe that the local forces really support them, and do not want to lose hope after being hit.

Gretzweig left the presidential palace, and soon after ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Mittre announced in his capacity as president that the Brazilian Navy and the Chilean Navy had won a great victory in the Atlantic Ocean. The Chinese Navy was hit hard by the navies of the two countries and suffered heavy losses of personnel and materials. The Chilean and Brazilian reinforcements will soon arrive in Argentina and join the British Expeditionary Force to launch a counterattack against the Chinese troops.

The propaganda of the Mitre government played a certain role. The turbulent hearts in Buenos Aires were settled for two days because of a fabricated victory. But when the violent offensive of the National Defense Forces beat the wave, The out-of-town position was breached by the National Defense Forces, and Mitre's lie was destroyed.

On May 2nd, a food panic broke out in Buenos Aires, and a food distribution point was snatched by civilians. That night, a group of more than 1,000 civilians stormed the western Argentina blockade and fled from the city. inland area.

On May 4, the number of fugitives increased to 5,000, and some soldiers joined the fleeing ranks, fleeing Buenos Aires among the civilian ranks.

On May 7, the tide of Buenos Aires intensified. Mitre had to issue an order to forcibly arrest the fleeing soldiers and ban civilians from leaving the city. The situation in Buenos Aires became more tense.
