Ludendorff reported the difficulties to the German General Staff, and Moltke Jr., the chief of the General Staff, regarded this war as a training for the German army against Britain, France, and Russia. If even this line of defense cannot be broken, then how will it dominate Europe and confront the powerful army of the Xia Empire in the future?

After studying the weapons of both sides, the personnel of the General Staff felt that the howitzers used by both sides were provided by the Xia Empire, and the maximum caliber was only 155mm, and there were very few fortress guns and heavy howitzers with a maximum caliber of more than 200mm, so Moltke Jr. decided to sell a batch of 210mm and 280mm howitzers to Brazil as soon as possible after asking the Kaiser's consent to attack the fortifications, and at the same time, ordered the country to step up the development of 420mm giant guns.

The Brazilian government gladly accepted the suggestion of the German General Staff and agreed to purchase German artillery for use in overcoming the American lines.

Brazil has regained several states in a row, the frontline is in a stalemate, and the open sea of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro has Xia Empire to help defend, and there is no fear of a counteroffensive by the US Navy, so the current situation in Brazil is very stable, and the post-war reconstruction work is being carried out with all its might.

In early October, under the command of General Chen Dezhi, the army of the Tang Kingdom completed the encirclement of Argentina immediately after eliminating Chile.

Leaving the First Army to garrison Santiago, the temporary capital of the Tang Kingdom, the rest of the troops were all involved in the war against Argentina.

The 100,000 officers and men of the Second Army, assisted by four brigades of Japanese mercenaries and 100,000 white mercenaries, were already preparing for war in the direction of Bolivia and Paraguay. The Bolivian army was reorganized into one division and three brigades of mercenaries, and the Paraguayan army, which had been redeployed from the front, had selected 1,000 men to serve as police officers, in addition to a brigade of mercenaries on a voluntary basis, to assist in maintaining order in the rear.

The southern front was fought by the 3rd and 4th armies and 100,000 white mercenaries.

In addition, the Japanese mercenaries of four brigades were stationed in various important places, and the remaining mercenaries were responsible for maintaining order and transporting heavy supplies.

Argentina's navy was weaker than Chile and Brazil, and the South Atlantic Fleet of the Xia Empire successfully blocked the mouth of the La Plata, and their old warships did not dare to respond to the battle, hiding in the harbor and shivering in fear.

Argentina's army is not the opponent of the Tang Kingdom, the artillery equipped with the three main armies of the Tang Kingdom is the technology of World War II, and the artillery equipped by the Argentine Army is the old artillery of Britain, France and Germany in the last century, and its performance gap is too large, and it cannot pose a threat to the army of the Tang Kingdom.

The Argentine army adopted a strategy of resisting step by step, while the Tang Kingdom continued to compress the living space of the Argentine army from four directions, preparing to drive them all to their capital area, and then wipe them out at once.

As for the Argentine army, because they resolutely refused to surrender, Chen Dezhi ordered the airship to bomb the positions of the Argentine army and the retreating Argentine army incessantly, and in order to increase the lethality, a large number of incendiary bombs were used, which made the officers and soldiers of the Argentine army suffer heavy casualties, and they gritted their teeth in their hearts for the cruel Chinese.

The incendiary bombs continued to explode in the crowd, emitting a huge explosion sound of "boom, boom, boom ......", and each explosion rose up flames more than 10 meters high, the flame area spread to dozens of square meters, and the splashed incendiary materials were splashed dozens of meters away, and the officers and men around the explosion point were either dead or wounded, and the dead were generally burned to ashes, and the wounded were even worse than dead; no matter how the doctors dealt with them, their wounds would quickly deteriorate and die in agony within a few days.

This kind of flame and the splashing of burning objects are very strange, no matter how they roll, they can't be extinguished, even if they jump into the water, they will continue to burn, which makes the officers and soldiers who witnessed the tragic situation around them so frightened that they don't dare to continue to fight against the army of the Tang Kingdom.

South America has been peaceful for so many years, even if there is a war and a conventional battlefield, the weapons and ammunition used are not as cruel as incendiary bombs, and they are not so powerful; Seeing the heavy casualties of their comrades-in-arms, as well as the tragic situation of the wounded comrades-in-arms, frightened many Argentine officers and soldiers to throw away their weapons and equipment, take off their military uniforms, and disguise themselves as civilians on the way to flee.

Ordinary people also fled their homeland after the withdrawal of the army, fleeing in the direction of Uruguay and Brazil, where the roads were blocked because of the large number of people and the slow pace of walking; As they walked, they cursed the Chinese, and it was the sinful Chinese who brought the war and forced them to leave their homeland and become refugees.

Brazil, on the other hand, received these displaced people under the hint of the Tang Kingdom, and conscripted the strongest of them into the army, strengthening the strength of the Brazilian army, and at the same time giving these refugees some way out.

By mid-December, the Tang Kingdom had completed the siege of the city of Buenos Aires and built a defensive line around the city to prevent its people from trying to break through and escape.

In order to obtain a completed city and move the capital there, Admiral Chen Dezhi ordered the army not to bomb and shell the city of Buenos Aires, but to send all the snipers to kill the Argentine army officers and soldiers one by one.

The Argentine defenders were constantly killed by hidden snipers, which made them even more afraid of these officers and soldiers of the Tang Kingdom who were hiding in the shadows; No one knows when they will be hit by a bullet that flies secretly.

The Argentine officers and soldiers, who wanted to break out, organized several charges, but they were all repelled by the enemy's dense fire, and after suffering heavy casualties, they gave up their intention to break through, and since the enemy surrounded them, they would not let them escape.

Together with the refugees and troops who poured into the capital, they were all surrounded, and the enemy did not attack, and they did not have the courage to counterattack, and in the long run, they could not hold out for long, and with so many people to eat and drink, the grain reserves of the city of Buenos Aires would soon be depleted.

In late December, Argentine President José Figueroa sent people to negotiate with the Tang Kingdom in the hope of accepting their surrender.

Admiral Chen Dezhi was very cheerful, and in order to end the war as soon as possible, he agreed to their request to surrender.

As long as the handover of the city can be guaranteed safely and unharmed, and the Tang Kingdom guarantees the safety of senior Argentine military and political officials, they can leave Argentina, and the same is true for civilians, who are willing to leave can leave; It's just that when they leave, they are not allowed to carry guns, ammunition, precious metals and other property, and they are only allowed to carry dry food for up to 10 days, and Argentines who do not leave within 10 days will automatically become a member of the Tang Kingdom.

After José Figueroa signed the surrender agreement, Chen Dezhi sent a cargo ship to take the Argentine military and political officials away to their destination in Spain.

On January 1, 1912, the Tang Kingdom was officially established in Buenos Aires and named the capital Nandu.

The 2nd Army was then sent to Uruguay to wipe out the small country, leaving Brazil and the United States fighting each other in South America.
