Ecuador means equator in Spanish. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ecuador has less than 300,000 square kilometers of land and a population of less than 3 million, of which the indigenous Indians account for more than one-third, and the white Europeans have basically all evacuated, and the rich and powerful of the mixed race have also almost evacuated, leaving only those who are greedy for power and those who still have illusions about the Xia Empire, or those who cannot afford to leave.

Since the independence of the Republic of Ecuador, the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party have fiercely fought for power, and there have been many dictatorships among them, and the economy is extremely backward; The economy is controlled by foreign capitalists, and the people rely on backward agricultural production to make a living, and the industry is backward, the mineral resources are poor, and the people's life is miserable.

The current ruling president is the leader of the Liberal Party, E. Alfaro, under his series of reforms, the economy has improved greatly, and the construction of the Quito-Guayaquil railway connecting the interior and the coast, but it has promoted the development of commercial capital and bank capital, and the economic lifeline is gradually controlled by new powers, cocoa is the only cash crop that can be exported for foreign exchange, and food is not self-sufficient and needs to be imported in large quantities.

The class is solidified, the people at the bottom lack a way to rise, and now the rich have long fled, and President E. Alfaro is powerless to resist the invasion of the Xia Empire.

If they join the 7-nation alliance, Ecuador will become a battlefield between the 7-nation alliance and the Xia Empire, and they will still not be able to escape the fate of being poisoned by the flames of war. More importantly, with Ecuador's military strength, even if it joins the seven-nation alliance, it will not be taken seriously by them, and it will not even be qualified to be cannon fodder, so it can only be at the mercy of others and become a bargaining chip for the exchange of interests.

Venezuela has formed an army of nearly one million, or was it wiped out by the Xia Empire in such a short period of time, President Gomez did not know what to do, and he was very impressed by the Ecuadorian military and political personnel, and deeply damaged their confidence in wanting to resist.

The Xia Empire's declaration of war on Venezuela said that it was because Venezuela had accepted their enemies, and Ecuador also had a large influx of refugees, and it was only a matter of time before the Xia Empire would launch an invasion of Ecuador under this pretext.

A few months ago, the intelligence officers of the Xia Empire began to contact him, and the relationship has not been interrupted.

The intelligence officers of the Xia Empire promised him that as long as he announced that he would join the Xia Empire and become a province of the Xia Empire, he would still be able to become the governor of a province, and he would be able to obtain the viscount title of the Emperor of the Xia Empire, and his personal property would also be protected, and his family would become citizens of the Empire and enjoy the same rights and treatment as the Chinese of the Xia Empire, so that at least his family would be safe for several generations.

In fact, he had long had the idea of surrendering to the Xia Empire, or he would not have kept in touch with the intelligence personnel of the Xia Empire. He knows that even if he does not surrender, the Xia Empire will definitely contact the Conservative Party members to overthrow his rule, even within the Liberal Party, there are political forces that he cannot control, such as the former President L. Prasa Gutiérrez, who has enough appeal and can also become the target of the Xia Empire; if that happens, he will lose his use value for the Xia Empire, and may disappear into this world quietly like Venezuelan President Gomez.

The propaganda of the Xia Empire's policy towards the common people made the people at the bottom of the society not oppose the arrival of the Xia Empire, especially their free compulsory education, low taxes, providing more upward channels for the people at the bottom, and tax-free ration fields of 3 acres per person, which were welcomed by the people at the bottom, who didn't care who would lead the country, as long as it was beneficial to them personally. This is the sorrow of a country without a Juche nation and without heritage, and there is no cohesion at all.

If he declares that he resolutely resists the invasion of the Xia Empire, perhaps the military and political forces in the country and the people at the bottom of society will unite against him, and then he will become a stepping stone for others.

Hey, the propagandists of the Xia Empire are so powerful, they are simply pervasive, no wonder so many people are bewitched by them, maybe after leaning on a big tree, the people of Ecuador can live a good life, President E. Alfaro couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After a long period of consideration, President E. Alfaro made a difficult decision to surrender to the Xia Empire and welcome the Xia Empire's military and political officials into Ecuador;

José received a report from the intelligence officers that the President of Ecuador agreed to accept the conditions of the empire and surrender to the empire, and he was very happy in his heart.

Chen Yifeng was very pleased that E. Alfaro, President of the Republic of Ecuador, had chosen to surrender, and immediately sent people to invite Prime Minister Song Shijie to discuss countermeasures.

Although Song Shijie was happy, he was more concerned about how to achieve a smooth transition of power, so he suggested: "Chief of General Staff Chen, my opinion is to stabilize President Alfaro, and to send troops to Ecuador as soon as possible to stabilize the situation; And without this barrier, I am worried that the 7-nation alliance will launch a sneak attack on the empire or create chaos at any time, and I am not worried about the army, I am only worried about whether the navy can confront the 7-nation alliance. ”

Chen Yifeng said confidently: "Haha, your worries are unnecessary, if they dare to make a move against the Imperial Navy, it is exactly what I want, I have no reason to declare war on the 7-nation alliance; If this happens, do you think Your Majesty will sit idly by? Most of their warships were purchased from the Empire, which could assemble a huge fleet at any time to crush them to the ground. ”

"Then you should also inform Your Majesty as soon as possible and make corresponding preparations."

Chen Yifeng said: "Of course, we will report to Your Majesty immediately after we decide, so that Your Majesty will also be happy, this is a great contribution made by the intelligence department, and it will not bury their achievements; I came to you in the hope that the Council would send an agent to Ecuador to sign an agreement with its president, E. Alfaro, to join the empire, so that the military could enter Ecuador without any problems. ”

"Who do you think is the right person to send?"

"There must be enough weight to show the importance of President Alfaro, I think it must be at least at the level of deputy prime minister, and at least at the level of a full minister."

Song Shijie thought for a while and decided: "Then send Minister of Civil Affairs Qi Jincheng to go, Alfaro will serve as the governor in the future, and his status is also equal, if I send a deputy prime minister, I am worried that there will be security problems at that time, if something really happens, it will be a heavy blow to the empire, and it will be difficult to explain to Your Majesty at that time." ”

"Okay, just send Minister Qi Jincheng to negotiate, and the military will send an airship and a company of Praetorian Guards to escort him, and at the same time send the navy and army to be ready to respond at any time."
