Rebirth of South America as King

Fifth day before the sight turned back, Peru ’s three-way reinforcements were destroyed. The news that Arequipa fell into the hands of the Chinese Independence Army returned to Peru's capital Lima. Peruvian leaders panicked and immediately convened an emergency meeting.

"Thomas, the southern part of Peru is your defense zone. The three-way reinforcements and the Arequipa garrison are also your subordinates. I do not understand how more than 30,000 Peruvian elite soldiers can be defeated by a group of laborers who have just taken up arms. If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I will dismiss you from the presidency and pursue your responsibility for malfeasance. "

At the beginning of the meeting, Peru's interim President Pedro Diez Canseco fired at Thomas immediately.

"Pedro, you are only an interim president, and you have no right to dismiss me." Thomas's army of 20,000 troops was destroyed, and he was in a state of anger, and he did not give Pedro Dies Canseco a face at all. With his name.

"Thomas presumptuous, do you still have me as president? I am using the rights granted to me by the Peruvian Constitution to announce the dismissal of your commander-in-chief of the Southern Theater."

Thomas was secretly plotting to overthrow him. Pedro had long known that if it were not for the elite troops of Thomas, he would have killed Thomas. Now that Thomas ’s troops have lost most of them, Pedro no longer cares, and directly at the meeting. Boom, intending to win Thomas in one fell swoop.

"The reinforcements were annihilated, and General Thomas had some responsibility, but the main responsibility was for the commander of the front line to make mistakes. If General Thomas was dismissed because of this, the punishment would be too serious." Watching Pedro about to move Really. A politician who has close ties with Thomas hurriedly advised.

Pedro originally wanted to win Thomas directly, but seeing so many people begging him, knowing that it was impossible to kill Thomas alone. "Thomson, let's talk about your responsibilities later, first explain why our army failed."

Thomas was angry with Pedro for a moment, and felt a little frightened when he reacted. The army that he relied on was exhausted and there was no suppression by the army. He and Pedro resisted purely in the search for death. Now he no longer takes the shelf and seriously said "Chinese rebellion. The combat effectiveness of the army is much higher than we thought. The specific situation is the soldiers who escaped. "

Thomas beckoned, Morabace and four other soldiers who escaped came out.

"You talk about the rebels first." Pedro pointed to Morabasai, who was standing in front of him.

"Yes, President." Morabassi saluted and said, "He is in charge of managing the army horse farm near Arequipa. Hearing the rebels surrounding the city of Arequipa, I was immediately ordered by General Thomas' order. Assemble nearby troops and horses into a hidden mountain three hundred miles away, and guard closely in the mountains to prevent sneak attacks from the enemy. As a result, the enemy responded quickly and sent a large number of troops to investigate our whereabouts. "

说 "Importantly, what I want to hear is the fighting power of the rebels. I don't have time to listen to you slowly here." Pedro interrupted Morabace impatiently.

Morabaser turned his head and looked at Thomas. Thomas nodded and motioned him to continue, so he skipped the previous part and introduced the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army directly.

"It was the rebel cavalry who entered the military racecourse. Their riding skills were not as strong as ours, but none of them were afraid of death. Only three hundred of the seven hundred men were combat troops. The other four hundred were herders who took care of the horses. I Leading the soldiers desperately to resist the enemy's attack, they were so outnumbered that they could only withdraw while fighting, and finally brought back five soldiers alive. "

Mora Basse finished speaking, looked at Pedro carefully, worried that he would kill himself with a dissatisfaction.

Pedro didn't take Morabace in his heart. He wanted to deal with a Peruvian big man like Thomas. Morabace had not put it in his eyes.

After asking Mora Basse, Pedro asked several other soldiers. From their mouths, they said that the rebels are very powerful, and everyone is not afraid of death. As for how powerful the Chinese troops are, no one can say come out.

The Peruvian soldiers did not lie. Morabase ran without passing the Chinese troops, while the other four soldiers were all under Lustuart's hands. Naturally, they would not bravely fight the Chinese Independent Army. It is impossible for them to get the fighting power of the Chinese Independent Army.

However, from the description of Peruvian soldiers, Pedro and other high-ranking Peruvians also got an intuitive impression.

That is, the Chinese Independent Army ’s combat power is higher than that of the Peruvian army. Otherwise, more than 30,000 troops would not be dumped by others.

After knowing what happened, the Peruvian leaders who are sitting should come up with a solution as soon as possible.

I must send troops to send troops. South Peru is rich in minerals and is Peru's economic lifeline. They cannot allow the Chinese army to continue to occupy them.

"According to their descriptions and the information we have, the number of Chinese rebels has reached 100,000, and after they eliminated more than 30,000 of our elite troops, all important areas in the south fell into the hands of the Chinese rebels. The supply of supplies, especially the military factory in Arequipa. The strength of the rebels will increase rapidly, so to defeat them, we need to mobilize the national army. "

"I oppose ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ a Peruvian politician sitting at the conference table speaks out.

"Tripa, do you have anything to say?"

Pedro dissatisfied with being interrupted by others.

The obese tripa didn't look at Pedro's face, and thought to himself, "The Peruvian army has a total of 120,000, because the southern operation has lost 40,000. Can the remaining 80,000 people defeat the rebels? I don't think it is possible. . "

"80,000 people are not enough to recruit troops. Peru has a population of 10 million, can't it recruit recruits?"

Pedro countered.

Pedro's abacus was very good. The southern Peruvian army suffered heavy losses. He just used this excuse to expand the strength of his army.

不 "No, Peru's economy has just developed. Recruiting more troops will bring down Peru's economy."

"What do you say, don't you want to in the south? Tripa, are you a traitor?" Pedro said harshly.

"President, you don't have to buckle me. I oppose the expansion of the army. It doesn't mean that we won't recapture the southern region. As long as we sell the southern mines to the British, the British will help us to eliminate the rebels." Trippa said slowly Idea.

"Tripa, I usually know that you hold the British thighs. I didn't expect you to be so shameless that you sold Peru's national interests to the British. How much good did the UK give you to speak for them." Sitting in a chair Thomas heard that Tripa was going to sell the southern mine resources to the British, and he couldn't help but retort.

The mine resources in the southern region are not owned by Thomas alone. Other Peruvians have their share.

I now oppose it.

I asked the British to help, but the politicians represented by Tripa did not agree at the moment, and after a day of discussion, no consensus was reached. Pedro returned home depressedly to wait for the meeting tomorrow.
