Chapter eight hundred and twenty sixth shelling the capital of Argentina
"Your Excellency the President, I am just doing my duty!" said the Chilean ambassador to Argentina. Although this kind of undeclared war is indeed a bit shameful. However, as long as you can win the war, everything will be
Worth it!
"Hmph! Your Excellency Ambassador, Argentina declares war on Chile! Although you have adopted a despicable and tacit war, I want to speed you up. The final victory must belong to Argentina, and Argentina will not fail!
"Argentine President Jose = Figueroa = Alqueta said firmly. Although the national strength of the two countries is similar, Argentina's population is almost twice that of Chile, and Brazil, the largest country in South America, has the support of this.
Let Jose = Figueroa = President Alqueta be very confident!
"I know, Your Excellency President. If nothing else is going to happen, I will say goodbye!" said the Chilean ambassador to Argentina. According to convention, after the declaration of war, the people of the embassy must evacuate from Argentina as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the embassy had already prepared before, and the luggage and other things had been packed long ago. At the same time, there was a passenger ship waiting for them at the port. They just had to rush to the port area and be able to leave Argentina.
Everything obviously proves that Chile's tacit battle against Argentina this time was premeditated!
"You go!" Jose = Figueroa = President Alqueta waved his hand, as if driving away another fly!
The Chilean ambassador to Argentina bowed, turned around and left. He was also very dissatisfied with the attitude of Argentina President Jose = Figueroa = Arqueta. "Hmph! I hope you can still have it after Argentina's defeat
Such arrogance!" The Chilean ambassador to Argentina secretly thought in his heart. In his opinion, although Argentina is powerful, even Brazil may be involved. However, after receiving China's support and help, Chile obtained this war.
Victory, there is no doubt about it!
"Come here, call the cabinet members immediately!" After the Chilean ambassador to Argentina left, President Jose Figueroa Alqueta immediately ordered. No matter what, the war has begun, although Argentina was not declared by Chile
The battle was caught off guard, but they had to find a way to win the final victory. Otherwise, if they failed, it would be a disaster for them and the entire Argentina!
In less than half an hour, all the officials of the Argentine government cabinet arrived. However, everyone's faces were very ugly. On the way to come, they had already learned about the news that Chile chose from Argentina, and
Knowing that before the official declaration of war, the Chilean navy had launched an attack on the Argentine navy!
"His Excellency the President, these Chileans are so despicable. I hope to launch a counterattack against the Chileans immediately! Our army is ready for war!" A tall, gray-haired old man said loudly. He is from Argentina.
Army Secretary Martin, who has served as the commander of the army before, has a very high prestige in the army and even the entire Argentina!
"Since the Chileans dare to fight us, they must have been prepared for a long time! With the Andes, our army will probably be difficult to succeed!" Jose = Figueroa = Arc
President Ta said with some concern!
Army Minister Martin stopped talking, of course he was very clear about the situation on the front line. While developing the army, the Chileans also fortified the strategic areas bordering the two countries and deployed heavy troops. If the Argentine Army takes the initiative to launch an attack
If it is, he will probably be thumping and bleeding. The reason why he yells to launch a counterattack on Chile is just to show everyone his attitude!
"His Excellency President, I think the most important thing for us now is to contact Brazil and ask for help from Brazil. The Chileans have planned for this war for a long time. With our strength, even if we win the victory of the war, we may lose money.
It's a terrible thing. Now we need to pull the Brazilians over and deal with the Chileans with us!" Foreign Minister Kim said.
Jose = Figueroa = President Alqueta nodded: "His Excellency Kim, after the meeting, you should contact the ambassador to Brazil immediately!"
"The key to the President's decision is the Navy! What is the situation when the Navy was attacked by the Chileans? If the Navy fails, this will be a very heavy blow to us. And, our important city
, all located by the sea, and are extremely susceptible to attack by the Chilean Navy!" asked Finance Minister Liepote. The battleships ordered by the Navy have exhausted all the assets of Argentina. If they lose it like this, they will let them go
People feel very distressed!
Jose = Figueroa = President Alqueta looked at Navy Minister Lauret, but Lauret's face was ashen!
"The situation is very bad now. The battleships of the Chilean Navy are stronger than ours, and their naval qualities are higher than ours. In addition, we have just received the battleships and are not familiar with the battleships, so we are absolutely in the
A disadvantage!" said Lauriet.!
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's face became gloomy again. Although Lauriete said it very tactfully, everyone knows that the Argentine Navy is probably going to suffer this time!
Before the meeting ended, the presidential secretary suddenly broke in, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on him!
"His Excellency President, just got the news that the naval battle is over! Our battleship, Mendoza, was sunk, the other three battleships were severely damaged and have surrendered to the Chileans. The telegram is Carlos = Admiral Kloro
Sent back before surrender!" said the secretary with a pale face!
"What? Why is this happening?" Jose＝Figroa＝President Alqueta shouted suddenly. He never expected such a result. The Minister of Navy Lauriete next to him was even more ashamed.
.The four battleships that had exhausted Argentina's financial resources were actually wiped out within a few hours. What he couldn't accept the most was that except for one, the remaining three were voluntarily surrendered.
!
The members of the Argentine government's cabinet were shocked by the news. No one expected that Argentina suffered such heavy losses as soon as the war began!
"His Excellency Martin, order the troops on the front line to be prepared to resist the Chilean invasion! His Excellency Kim, contact Brazil immediately. Our situation is already very critical and we need their help! Everyone, it is now related to the survival of Argentina.
Now, everyone must unite. I believe that the final victory must belong to Argentina!” Jose = Figueroa = President Alqueta lost his composure a little, but then he woke up and calmly gave the order!
"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" The government's cabinet members also knew that Argentina would now face an extremely dangerous situation!
The Argentine government's cabinet meeting just ended. The Chilean ambassador to Argentina, who was about to leave Argentina, came to the presidential palace again. This time he came, he was also ordered.
After receiving the news of a great victory in the Navy, the President of Chile issued a new order to bring him an ultimatum to Argentina by the Chilean government!
"His Excellency the President, the Argentina's navy has now been eliminated. In this war, Argentina has no hope of winning! Our President hopes that your country can surrender to reduce unnecessary casualties!" Chile's ambassador to Argentina is arrogant and proud.
Said!
"Hmph! Don't think about it. Even if the navy is defeated, we still have the army, and we still have 5.5 million Argentines. The final victory must belong to us!" Jose = Figueroa = Al
President Queta said firmly!
"His Excellency President, do you have to be obsessed with it? Don't forget that Buenos Aires is by the sea. If you don't surrender, Buenos Aires will become the target of the attack!" Chile's main assault
The ambassador threatened!
"Damn it, do you want to attack the civilians? You lunatics, even if that's the case, don't want us to surrender!" President Jose = Figueroa = President Alqueta roared angrily.
The Chilean ambassador to Argentina returned in vain, but this also led to the tragic outbreak of Buenos Aires. After defeating the main force of the Argentine Navy, the main force of the Chilean Navy rushed towards the estuary of the La Platre River.
The remaining ships of the Argentine Navy will be destroyed and Argentina will be forced to surrender!
Chile declared war on Argentina, and the news caused another uproar around the world. Everyone knows that behind this is the confrontation between China and France and the United States. However, most countries are despicable to Argentina's despicable behavior of undeclared war
They all expressed their rebukes. But that's all. They could not have traveled a long distance to fight against Chile for Argentina, even France behind Argentina. Not to mention that Chile has China's support!
At 3:00 p.m. on the 25th of KO, the Chilean Navy entered the estuary of the La Platte River. In order to preserve its strength, the Argentine Navy had already ordered the remaining light cruisers and destroyers to move to Brazil.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Chilean government once again issued an ultimatum to Argentina, demanding that Argentina surrender. However, Argentine President Jose Figueroa Alqueta refused to surrender and had a very tough attitude.
In order to force Argentina to surrender, Chile issued an order to shell Buenos Aires!
At five o'clock in the afternoon, four Santiago-class battleships lined up on the sea from Buenos Aires, and their thick muzzles aimed at the capital of Argentina.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" One by one, high-explosion bombs flew towards Buenos Aires, causing the city to fall into the sea of fire!
