Peru's navy has not developed much since the South Pacific War, and its strength is much weaker than that of Chile, and it is not even as good as the world's third-rate navy.

Benavides could only reluctantly ask for help from the United States, as for Bolivia and Argentina to help, they did not dare to hope for help, they themselves could not be guaranteed. Fortunately, Chile did not directly participate in the war, otherwise Peru would have been caught between the north and the south.

"President, the government of the United States refused to lend warships to our country, and they promised to urge Colombia to join the war as much as possible, and at the same time to support our twenty tanks through Argentina. The situation is very bad because the top brass of the United States is divided on supporting our country, and if the empire does not achieve several victories, they may abandon our country! The ambassador to the United States said in a telegram sent back to Benavides after contacting Wilson.

"Damn Wilson, you made me refuse to hand over those people at the beginning, and said that I had contacted Colombia, but I didn't expect Colombia to shoot me in the back, is this the idea of the American people? Why would Colombia take the opportunity to seize the border territories, and would they really go to war? ”

"What is the idea of the United States, if the United States gives up on me, I must make them regret it!"

Benavides hated Colombia very much, and the Inca invasion of Colombia was inescapable of being responsible, after all, they had discussed those things, but Colombia refused to admit them, and sent troops to occupy the territory with which they had previously disputed.

Nearly half of the top government officials believe that they will abandon Peru, and now they will not be able to support Peru through the Guò Navy, and the land through Guò can only be supported from Argentina and Bolivia, which is too costly.

The Inca Navy will definitely block Peruvian waters, and if the United States wants to support Peru, it will pass through Argentina and the two countries, and as for Colombia, they have also sent people to contact, but the effect is not great, and the Colombian government does not agree to use the channel to transport supplies to the United States into Peru.

However, at Wilson's insistence, he decided to help Peru as much as possible, and in the name of assisting Peruvian tanks, he used tanks produced by the United States for combat testing. In addition, the government of the United States agreed to support a 50,000-strong Peruvian mercenary army for the purpose of military training.

The military strength of the United States was not strong before the First World War, and it was even worse than the previous heyday of Fusang, but in the past two years, because the rise of China threatened the security of the Luzon colony of the United States and their interests in the Pacific, some troops were expanded, otherwise the navy and army added up to more than 100,000, how can there be as many as 350,000 now.

It is already very good that the 300,000 army in the country can support 50,000 in Peru, there is no war in the United States, most of the army has not experienced a bloody baptism, and the military of the United States has generally intervened in Mexico and Central America to train troops before.

The United States implements a single conscription system in peacetime and a mixed conscription system in wartime, which is somewhat similar to the volunteer military service system, which does not force citizens to join the army, and is not professional.

With the European war and the rise of China, many members of Congress in the United States have called for compulsory military service in imitation of Huaxia and Fuso, and all citizens who have reached the age of 18 and meet the requirements must undergo militarized training for a period ranging from three to five years, but none of them have been approved.

The United States has always advertised freedom and democracy, and most of its citizens are European immigrants, so compulsory military service will not be supported at all, and being a soldier is not a profession and is generally not generally accepted by the people.

Wilson also wanted to change the status quo of the military, using the war in Europe and its wars in Asia as an excuse to get the newspapers to promote the threat of war, especially the Inca Civil War on their doorstep. He had the idea of professionalizing the army and gradually implemented it, constantly improving the army and expanding its size.

With the advent of the European war, all countries have strengthened their military strength, for fear that one day they will be involved in this turmoil, and for a time China's orders for tanks and bombers increased again.

………………

In mid-September 1914, in the northern part of Annam, the fighting was still raging, and the anti-French revolutionary army in Annam was fighting with the French army, and after several months, the French army was crumbling without domestic support, and the governor's hair was gray.

"Report, there is terrible news from the south, Saigon has been breached, the army is retreating south, these natives are getting stronger and stronger, and we have not received domestic support, we can't support it at all!"

"Bang!"

The governor hammered the desk hard, Saigon is the ruling center of Nam Ki, and it has only been breached in a few months, how is this possible?

"Continue to seek support from home, let China negotiate with Britain, let the British troops stationed in the Malay region enter Annam, and ask Huaxia to help us put down the rebellion if you can!"

The governor's voice was very heavy, and now their situation in Annam was very bad, and this uprising was not as easy to suppress as before, and most of Annam was occupied by the rebels. Most of the northern and central areas were occupied, the French army retreated in the area of Hanoi and Haiphong, and was tightly surrounded by the rebel army, while the southern part of Saigon was breached, that is to say, the southern part of Saigon, the northern part of Hanoi and the border area of China were occupied by their rebel army.

In the past few months, the royal family of Annam re-declared its rule over Annam in Hanoi, after France formulated a qiē inequality system and abolished it all, and under the construction of Pan Peizhu and others, it copied and copied the Chinese model to carry out a dual constitutional monarchy, formed a cabinet, and Pan Peizhu became the prime minister of Annam.

"According to Huaxia news, France asked Huaxia for help, hoping that Huaxia would send troops against us, and the price was to transfer Gaoping, Jianghe, Quang Ninh and the northeastern coastal areas to Huaxia, and it is said that the Huaxia government was moved. There was a build-up of British troops stationed in the Malay Peninsula, and if the speculation was correct, France also turned to Britain for help, and it is not known what the price to pay. Pan Peizhu's tone was very heavy, and her heart was very worried.

Originally, the agreement with Huaxia was to retreat 200 miles from the border, and the islands north of Ha Long Bay and some islands in the south were given to Huaxia, but now France's conditions are close to these, and if Huaxia asks further, France will definitely compromise, and Huaxia is likely to give up on them.

As far as they know, there are nearly 100,000 British troops stationed in the Malay Peninsula, and a month ago the British army suddenly mobilized tens of thousands of troops from North Borneo to the Malay Peninsula, and the number of troops increased dramatically.

The French had a fleet that could send the British troops to land from the south, and even directly from Haiphong, and the Annam army could not stop it at all.

"Huaxia should not give up on us, the number of obedient countries is much stronger than the conditions proposed by France, not to mention that the territory we promised to Huaxia is not small, Huaxia will not agree to them." Nguyen Phuc Zhao, who had returned to the throne, affirmed that an Annan ruled by France was still an Annan who was a minister and a tribute, and he believed that Huaxia would choose the latter.

Pan Peizhu was not worried about this, but worried that she and others would be dissatisfied with Huaxia if they did not announce the restoration of the Huaxia vassal state in accordance with the regulations.

"Shouldn't the title of Huaxia be restored at this time, otherwise Huaxia may really agree to France's request......"

Before Phan Pei Zhu's words were finished, the Minister of Foreign Affairs rushed in, and Nguyen Phuc Zhao and the others all looked at the Foreign Minister with an angry expression.

The Foreign Secretary wiped his sweat and shouted, "Your Majesty, it's not good!" Just received news that France had increased the conditions and assigned all Laos to China, and they encouraged the king of Thailand to persuade Huaxia because they promised to give Thailand the coastal area of the Gulf of Siam in the south of the empire! The Chinese Junxian Party is also actively agitating the Chinese cabinet to agree to France, they want to take advantage of the opportunity to control the empire, and advocate the division of the north and south of France, and three of the nine cabinet ministers in China have supported them! ”

"What?! Damn, absolutely to stop Huaxia from agreeing to France, what to do? Ruan Phuc Zhao panicked instantly after hearing this, if Huaxia really sent troops to help France, they would definitely be defeated.

Pan Peizhu and others also panicked, having the support of three cabinet ministers means that as long as there are two more cabinet ministers to support the Constitutional Party, the goal will be achieved, and President Chen Fu cannot stop it.

The nine cabinet ministers of China were only implemented at the beginning of the year, and as long as more than half of them supported it, they could suppress or pass the decision that the president did not approve or approve, and of course the president also had a veto power, but it would not be used unless there were special circumstances. In fact, this is just a regulation on the surface of Huaxia, and the president of Huaxia, who has only been established for the short time, has been a hall of words for most of the time, and the cabinet ministers are more of an auxiliary role at this time.

This president is not a president like the United States, but a general ruler below the emperor, and oversees the officials of the member states of the federation, but in order to prevent the president from becoming a monopoly, nine cabinet ministers have been established, and the nine ministers are in charge of military, finance, foreign affairs and other affairs.

"Immediately announce the restoration of the name of the Huaxia suzerain, prevent Huaxia from helping France, and if it doesn't work, apply to join the Huaxia Federation!" Pan Peizhu gritted her teeth and said.

"Are you crazy, how can you join the Huaxia Federation, this is ...... This is simply a shame on the ancestors! Ruan Phuc Zhao angrily pointed at Pan Peizhu and scolded.

"No, absolutely not, my country has finally become independent, and restoring the identity of a subject country is already the bottom line!"

"Traitor ......"

Those present blamed Pan Peizhu, and some were silent.

"Hmph, since it is better to become a subject country, it is better to join directly, and the powerful Siam has not joined yet, let alone us!"

"What's wrong with joining the Huaxia Federation, Huaxia will help us recover quickly, and we won't be able to catch up with neighboring Thailand for another thirty years on our own!"

The pro-China faction, or the high-level leaders who were bought by Huaxia, began to fight back, supporting Pan Peizhu one after another, and there was a faint tendency to outnumber the opposition faction in terms of numbers.

"Stop, just do what the Prime Minister said, is there any difference between a subject and a member? Hehe! ”

After observing the people present, Ruan Phuc Zhao sadly found that Huaxia had unknowingly controlled so many ministers, even Pan Peizhu was also pro-China, with the strength and influence of these people, it was easy to subvert himself, and he could only compromise.

If Pan Peizhu knew Ruan Phuc Zhao's thoughts, he would probably vomit blood, he really thought about the overall situation, not pro-China, let alone a traitor.

On September 20, King Nguyen Phuc Zhao of Annam announced to the whole nation that Huaxia had restored its power over the suzerainty of Annam, and requested that Huaxia send troops to help Annam drive out or annihilate the French army.

This news brought back to China and attracted widespread attention, and the people called on the government to agree to Annan's military support and restore the glory of China, but this matter caused huge disagreements in the Diet and the cabinet, and more than half of the parliamentarians and cabinet ministers opposed it, because sending troops might lead the Entente countries to declare war on China and undermine China's established development strategy.

On September 23, the first batch of 10,000 British troops landed in southern Annam, and another 30,000 British troops rushed to Haiphong by boat.
