The London government shirks its responsibilities, and the Chilean government has a headache. Without the support of the British, they would not dare to detain ships from more than 20 countries with their courage.

La Moneda Palace, Chilean Foreign Minister Domingo: "Your Excellency, this is a diplomatic protest letter from various countries. Under the instigation of Fao, various countries have formed a mission, do you see?"

Unable to escape, President Aniwal waved his hand: "You deal with them first, explore their bottom line, and then decide what to do."

In this era of the strong eating the weak, everyone is adhering to the principle of bullying the weak and fearing the tough, and conducts international diplomacy.

It was the British Navy who seized the ship and confiscated the goods, and everyone just protested to the London government. Due to internal and external pressure, the British pushed the cauldron to the Chilean government, and the situation changed immediately.

protest?

No, it's too civilized. It seems that the menacing mission knows that if the Chilean government does not bleed, this time is not over.

If you can’t afford to offend the British, you still don’t want to offend everyone in Chile. Now you don’t need Fao to take the lead, and everyone will take the initiative.

President Anibal is already panicking, and the British position is obvious. If the Chilean government can't stand the pressure, they will lift the blockade and let these ships pass.

This is absolutely unacceptable to the Chilean government. Once Bolivia and Peru received outside aid, Chile's chances of winning the war were nowhere in sight.

Seeing that President Aniwal had no charter, Foreign Secretary Domingo suggested: "Your Excellency, we must not react negatively. We must also come up with a plan that will make countries feel our sincerity.

There seem to be many countries protesting now, but in fact it is mainly France and Austria. Other countries have little interest, and most of them are just for a wave of existence, and an apology should be able to cope with it.

We must take the initiative to divide the mission. To do this, our strength alone is not enough, and the cooperation of the British is also needed. "

President Aniwal shook his head: "Divergence and disintegration may seem like a good thing, but in fact it's useless at all.

France and Austria support Bolivia and Peru, and we can't offer enough benefits to bribe them. The position of other countries is irrelevant, and if you offend, you will be offended.

The trouble is that the position of the London government has been shaken by internal and external pressure. You should be aware that the ships seized also included ships of British shipping lines.

These people are losers in the struggle for interests, and they want to make up for their losses through trade with Peru and Bolivia. "

Chile handed over the purchase order and shipping business to the British shipping company. It seems that this method has made up for the loss of the Peruvian and Bolivian markets. In fact, only a few people have benefited.

More capitalists did not benefit from it because of their lack of relationships, and some people even suffered losses. Naturally, these people were not reconciled.

This is not difficult for the capitalists, and if they cannot benefit from Chile, they will continue to do business with Peru and Bolivia. Free trade is, of course, free.

Back then, during the Near Eastern War, British businessmen smuggled arms to Russia; during the Ethiopian War, British businessmen smuggled arms to the Resistance Army, which is really nothing now.

If you investigate carefully, you will find that some people are taking advantage of Chile while doing business with Peru and Bolivia.

After the ship was detained and the goods were confiscated, it was a cut off for everyone. For capitalists, it is obvious that they can maximize their benefits by taking both sides.

The domestic turmoil in the UK is essentially the reason the capitalists want to gain greater benefits, and they incite the people to make trouble.

Compared with its own interests, what is the government's strategy? It's better to let the South American war continue so that everyone can keep making money from the war.

President Aniwal is also a lawyer and is very aware of the appetites of capitalists. If the London government cannot suppress domestic capital, the so-called blockade will soon exist in name only.

Foreign Secretary Domingo objected: "Your Excellency, we have to trust the London government. Now that there is a complete blockade, no one can take this route, and countries can tolerate it.

If the Royal Navy releases water and only allows its own ships to sail, do you think countries can tolerate it?

I am afraid that when the time comes, they will see this as a British conspiracy to monopolize South American trade.

At that point, everyone's interests are seriously damaged. Who knows if Faao will lead the establishment of an anti-British alliance? "

Not "will it", but definitely will. Interests move people’s hearts. As long as the interests are in place, nothing is impossible.

After hesitating for a moment, President Aniwal said, "What are you going to do? We don't have a lot of chips in our hands, and it's difficult to buy off so many countries."

Foreign Secretary Domingo: "It depends on the investment of the British. If the support of the London government is strong enough, France and Austria are dragged down by the situation in Europe again, and the diplomatic pressure of other countries is nothing at all.

We just need to take part of the benefits to buy off France and Austria, for example: sell them a batch of saltpeter at a low price every year, or open the domestic market to them.

We don't ask them to support us, as long as we stabilize France and Austria, it will be much easier to talk about these issues after the war is over.

Other countries, for example, South American countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, etc., will win over those who can provide assistance to the enemy based on the actual situation.

You don’t need to pay much actual benefits, just write a bad check. Make use of their ambitions and stabilize them with the interests of Peru and Bolivia. Whether or not to fulfill them after the war depends on the actual situation.

Other countries that do not have the ability to influence this war are not very important in themselves and can be delayed for the first time.

. "

The law of the jungle is fully reflected here. The reality once again proves that justice and axioms all need the protection of cannons.

Anivare nodded: "Well, do it according to your plan! I will go to the British minister now, and the envoy will be handed over to your Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

...

While the Chileans took action, the Russian-Prussian battlefield changed again. After the division of the Prussian army, Kamen's Russian army could not help tempting to send troops to fight back.

An unexpected scene appeared. The tentative counterattack actually defeated the Prussian army in one fell swoop, and achieved the first great victory since the outbreak of the war.

After seeing the battle report, Franz wondered if he had read it wrong. When did the Russians become so fierce, this is completely on the hook!

Not only Franz was stunned, but even the Russians themselves were stunned. They couldn't imagine why the Prussian army suddenly became vulnerable.

You know, even after the division, the Prussian army in the Kamen area is still 20,000 troops. Under normal circumstances, with so many troops standing in place, it is absolutely impossible for the Russian army to win in the short term.

It has been two days since the war ended, and Lieutenant General Olivier Thornfield is still dizzy, not knowing how this pie fell on his head.

Lieutenant General Olivier Thornfield was not carried away by the victory, he chose to take it as soon as possible, and did not continue to expand the results.

There was a knock on the office door, Olivier Thornfield: "Come in!"

A young officer reported nervously: "General, something is not right. We interrogated the prisoners of the Prussian army and found that these soldiers were all transferred a week ago, and most of the soldiers had served less than a month.

Lieutenant Colonel Daniel, who was guarding the prisoners, discovered when he inspected the prisoner of war camp that most of the uniforms we caught were old and young, with less than one-fifth of the young and old, and most of them were Polish.

There are various indications that we defeated this enemy army, not the enemy army we fought against before. It should be the cannon fodder used by the enemy to attract our attention, and the main force of the enemy has long since shifted. "

Lieutenant General Olivier Thornfield's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly opened the map to study the movements of the Prussian army.

"No, the enemy's target is Brest. The Prussian army that left three days ago was not an infantry division, but two divisions, their target was not Pinsk, and the detour was just to confuse our attention.

Immediately send a power line to Headquarters to explain the situation we have encountered. At the same time, notify the defenders of Brest and let them be vigilant. "

The young officer reminded: "General, if we report it directly, our military merit will be greatly reduced. We should modify it first, or wait for the news to be reported to the whole army before reporting it."

After finally winning a battle, everyone can be promoted to officials and nobility.

After hesitating for a while, Olivier Thornfield shook his head: "This news is of great importance and must be reported immediately, you can process it artistically.

Let’s just say that we interrogated the prisoners and found that the enemy had hidden their forces. The Prussian army that left three days ago was two divisions, and the target might be Brest.

Secretly execute some prisoners and directly record them in the data of annihilating the remaining enemies. Gather the young and strong prisoners of war, and let the war reporters take a few photos and send them back. Who would dare to say that there is something wrong with our military exploits?

Defeat a second-line Prussian army, this military exploit is enough, no matter how big it is, the country will not believe it.

Please read and compile the relevant information. Anyway, the news of the victory has already spread. As long as you look at the past, the government will not go into it. "

The overall situation must be taken seriously, and military merits must not be lost. Then we can only sacrifice the prisoners of war. After all, the proportion of old and weak among the prisoners this time is a bit high. If we do not deal with some of them, it is easy for people to find problems.
