Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 97: Peace talks

After a day of fierce fighting, Adolfo left the defensive position of the wall under the guard of a group of soldiers.

In front of a tall western-style house in the centre of Sucre, Adolfo's housekeeper stood in front of the gate to greet the owner's return.

"Master, Mr. Frias has something to discuss with you, and now he is waiting for you in the lobby."

"Well, I know!" Adolfo dropped off the horse and handed the reins to the servant who walked up front, and commanded: "The guards are following me for a day, and the credit is huge. Go and let the kitchen prepare the dishes and greet you they."

"Okay, sir." The steward answered, then arranged for more than fifty soldiers to enter the courtyard.

"Frias, is there anything to ask me so late?"

Melgarejo's offense was repelled and Sucre was out of the most dangerous state, so Adolfo didn't understand what would make Frias come to his house late at night.

"Is there a rebellion in the city again?" Adolph looked at the happy Frias and denied his guess.

"Adolfo, the good news, Melgarejo is ready to surrender!" Frias stood up, excited.

"Melgare Hogan was willing to surrender? Wouldn't it be a fraud?" Adolph was indifferent.

"No, it's true. Melgarejo sent his younger brother Balivian to negotiate with us. Balivian is now in my house."

Fries was worried about Adolfo's suspicion, adding: "In order to show the sincerity of peace talks, Melgarejo ordered the troops to retreat ten miles away. You can send someone out of the city to check whether Melgarejo's troops are Really retreating. "

Melgarejo was greedy and violent, and the conflict between the two was deep. Of course, Adolfo did not believe that Melgarejo would surrender.

"Although Melgarejo is not good at siege, his unit is not a big loss. I think he sent the Palivian peace talks as a guise. His real purpose is to relax our vigilance and then set up a siege. "

"Hehe, Adolfo, you are more attentive. Melgarejo and us have to negotiate with each other. The Chinese army ’s reinforcements have reached less than fifty miles outside the city. Melgarejo ’s army is facing a pinch by our army and the Chinese army. Without surrender, there is only a dead end. "

Balivian was anxious to reach the terms of the peace talks with Sucre. He did not take any precautions. When visiting Frias, it was not long before Frias set out the news of the arrival of Chinese reinforcements. Therefore, Frias believed in the sincerity of Melgarejo's peace talks and rushed to Adolphe House overnight.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the Chinese reinforcements will arrive in Sucre at the latest tomorrow afternoon, and now that Melgarejo is actively seeking peace, it is only possible for the Chinese reinforcements to arrive early.

The news that the Chinese reinforcements arrived early could not be faked. As long as Adolph sent a Chinese messenger in Sucre City to contact the Chinese reinforcements, it was easy to confirm the truth of the news. Adolph judged that Melgarejo would not use this stupidly. The news deceives itself.

"Oh, no wonder Melgarejo can't sit still. It turned out to be blocked by the Chinese Independent Army."

Determining the fact that Melgarejo had to negotiate, Adolph rejoiced.

"Melgarejo is doomed to fail. The next thing to consider is how to treat Melgarejo and his five thousand soldiers."

Frias looked at Adolfo Road.

"Five thousand soldiers are really a problem," Adolph frowned.

Adolfo's 5,000 soldiers are Bolivia's most elite troops. If these 5,000 soldiers can be brought under his control, the situation in Bolivia will be much more stable, but these 5,000 soldiers are the last bargaining chip for Melgarejo. He will not give up easily.

"Let's talk about the conditions for Melgarejo's peace talks." Without thinking of a suitable way to consolidate 5,000 soldiers, Adolfo no longer thought hard, and directly asked Melgarejo's conditions.

"Melgarejo voluntarily retired from the presidency and was willing to hand over half of his property and land in Sucre to the Treasury, while he hoped to obtain the post of La Paz chief of military and lead 5,000 soldiers in La Paz."

"At this time, Melgarejo was delusional about staying in Bolivia for power and blessing. I think he was daydreaming!"

Adolph laughed angrily.

"Melgarejo is acting backwards in the country, and it is impossible to keep him in the position of chief of military and political affairs in La Paz, but we must also prevent him from fighting alone with us. After all, his 5,000 soldiers are also Bolivian troops. It is not good for anyone to fight hard, "Frias analyzed.

"I understand what you said. Bolivia lacks strength. Chile, Argentina, and Brazil are staring at each other. If we lose with Melgarejo, the situation in Bolivia will become very dangerous. I will not risk the danger of the country. And Melgarejo dead. "

Adolph was a little downcast.

Adolfo will not hesitate in battle, but he is not only a general, but he is also the de facto master of Bolivia. Every decision he makes now may have different consequences for Bolivia. Therefore, although he could not wait to take Melgarejo to his gun, he reasonably told him that he could not do so.

He is also responsible for the security of the entire country.

"Frias, you are responsible for the negotiation, but you have to have a bottom line for the outcome of the negotiation, that is, Melgarejo and his younger brother Balivian must leave Bolivia, and his property in Sucre can be returned to half Give it to him, and all his land is recovered ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ allocated by the state. "

Melgarejo's policy of purchasing Indian lands allowed him to acquire a huge amount of land, which once temporarily nationalized could solve Bolivia's financial difficulties. This is one of the reasons why Adolfo insisted on driving Melgarejo out of Bolivia.

Without a huge amount of land, Melgarejo can only be a wealthy abbot abroad, and can no longer influence the domestic politics and the army.

"I will arrange the negotiations, but the Chinese Independent Army needs to communicate with them in person. After all, they are still our allies. Negotiating with them and Melgarejo will affect the cooperation between the two parties. "

"The Chinese Independence Army is a great threat to us in Bolivia. After solving the problem of Melgarejo, it is better to send them away as soon as possible."

Speaking of the Chinese Independent Army, Adolph was worried.

"The Chinese Independent Army poses little threat to us. The key is to negotiate terms with Melgarejo as soon as possible to prevent accidents."

Frias advised.
