Seeing that the Western Zhou-class battleships sent by the Han Kingdom were larger in size than the Shang-class battleships they purchased from the Xia Empire, equipped with more main guns, and longer barrels, and their combat effectiveness would definitely be stronger, besides, the number of such battleships was more than that of the Peruvian battleships, even if their fleet rushed back from the front line, it was also the fate of being annihilated, and the entire cabinet was secretly glad that they had listened to the president's opinion, and surrendering to the Han Kingdom was their wise choice.

Immediately after the signing of the agreement, the two sides issued a joint telegram announcing Peru's accession to the Han Kingdom. As soon as the telegram came out, the countries of the world were shocked, from the beginning of the war to the surrender of Peru, there was no 10 days in total, was the combat effectiveness of the Peruvian officers and soldiers too poor or the strength of the army of the Han Kingdom too strong?

In the eyes of the Americans, the Xia Empire will take advantage of the fact that the United States will take advantage of the fact that the United States is holding back the 7-nation alliance and launch an attack from their rear and win without force.

Subsequently, Premier Zheng Qiang sent a telegram asking Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay to release the detained Peruvian officers and soldiers and warships, hoping that they would not do anything to set themselves on fire.

The President of Uruguay does not have much to say; The Brazilian president hopes to act according to the wishes of the Han Kingdom, and now he tries not to provoke them, and he also hopes to establish friendly relations with the Han Kingdom in his heart, so that Brazil can get a respite.

Argentine President José Figueroa did not see it that way, and he sent a telegram to the Brazilian president: "It is to return all these Peruvian officers and soldiers and warships to the Han Kingdom, they will attack us sooner or later, and it is better to leave these warships to strengthen their own strength than this." “

Brazilian President Alfonso Moreira Pena felt that the Argentine president had a problem with his head, and instead of listening to his opinion, he said to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron Leo Blanco: "Your Excellency, send a telegram to the Han Kingdom immediately, claiming that this is just a misunderstanding, and Brazil's purpose is to help the Han Kingdom occupy Peru as soon as possible and reduce their resistance to occupy Peru." “

The foreign minister questioned: "Haha, Your Excellency, do you think the other side will believe what we say?" “

"Your Excellency, I don't care if they believe it or not, but I do. Execute the order. “

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron Leo Blanco, commanded: "Yes, Your Excellency. “

Uruguayan President Claudio Williman, who followed Brazil, sent a telegram to the Han Kingdom, claiming that it was a misunderstanding and that Peruvian officers and warships would be immediately arranged to return home.

Only Argentina has been slow to act.

Sensing the pressure, Chile quietly gathered troops and established defenses on its northern border and in the capital, Santiago, against a sudden invasion by the Han Kingdom.

In the face of the powerful Han Kingdom, the forcible return of Peru's seized officers and soldiers and warships made the presidents of Bolivia and Paraguay have a stronger idea in their hearts that the alliance of six countries cannot be trusted, they will only consider the interests of each country, and the interests of small countries can only be betrayed casually.

Bolivia has an unforgettable hatred for Chile, and it was the South Pacific War that forcibly ceded the coastal areas by Chile, which made them a landlocked country; It was only in the face of strong pressure from the United States that he joined the 6-nation alliance; He has always had a good relationship with Peru, and if Peru can be treated fairly after joining the Han Kingdom, so that the people can get a better life, then why can't they?

Besides, in this jungle society where the jungle eats the jungle, without a strong backer, the people can only become slaves exploited by others, and in comparison, the policy of the Han Kingdom is relatively fair.

Although no one wants to be exterminated, but in this situation at that time, they can let the people live, and they can get good treatment personally, joining the Han Kingdom is much better than being occupied by the United States, and no one wants to see the end of being swallowed and not even the scum left, and the lesser of the two powers is the common choice of everyone.

They still have an idea in their hearts, that is, even if they don't surrender, after the Han Kingdom occupies Peru, it can easily occupy Bolivia, with the strength of Bolivia, it is impossible to confront the powerful Han Kingdom at all, rather than being forced to surrender, it is better to take the initiative and strive for more benefits for them and their people.

Paraguay's hatred of the 6-nation alliance is simply too numerous compared to Bolivia, and the Paraguayan war led to the long occupation of Paraguay by Argentina and Brazil, In addition, it annexed 55,000 square miles of Paraguay's land; after this devastating blow, Paraguay's population was reduced from 530,000 to 220,000, and all the people were left with only the old, weak, sick and young, and only 28,000 men in the country, making Paraguay almost extinct.

Until now, Paraguay's male population is still insufficient, they curse war, they yearn for peace, they want to recuperate, if the war continues, Paraguay's male population will be less and less; Joining the alliance is only the most helpless option under pressure, and if there is a better option to avoid Paraguay from falling into war and save the lives of more officers and soldiers, they will not hesitate to agree.

However, they knew that if Paraguay relied on its strength alone, they would never be able to take revenge on Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, and if they could join the Han Kingdom, it might be an opportunity.

After analyzing the situation, the intelligence personnel stationed in the seven-nation alliance in South America made a correct judgment and promptly contacted and mobilized senior military and political officials in Bolivia and Paraguay, hoping that they would not become victims of the alliance and that joining the Han Kingdom was their best choice.

Many high-ranking officials were very moved, and Ecuador and Peru were the precedents of the surrender, and after the surrender, both military and political officials and ordinary people were treated well.

At that time, although the countries of the Americas established independent states, they did not form an independent national consciousness, only a vague concept of "Americans", and they were heavily dependent on the original host countries culturally and on European countries economically; As a result, the vested interests of the time were white and partly white mestizos, and most of the mestizos, blacks, mulattos, and Indians were sent out of the ruling power.

Even the white people did not have a strong sense of shrinkage and loyalty to the South American countries, South America was only the place where they obtained wealth, and their roots were still in Europe, so the economic lifeline of the South American countries at that time was in the hands of the European countries and became the object of their economic colonization; Therefore, after the Xia Empire's power entered South America, many white people such as large manor owners withdrew to Europe.

More importantly, at that time, there was not as serious a sense of national independence and national sovereignty as later generations, and even the sense of territory was not as strong as that of later generations, so there were ideas of those in power in Bolivia and Paraguay.

After discussing with Zheng Qiang, he came up with a reasonable plan and decided to send Foreign Minister Li Jingfa to Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil on a diplomatic trip, hoping to achieve certain results through diplomatic efforts.
