On the other hand, after many days of maneuvering, Marseo still failed to take the leadership of the three eastern provinces.

However, several high-ranking officials did nothing to him, just watched him run around and try to find supporters of the republic.

Of course, there are supporters of the Republic, including Olel and others, but the Republic Mansion will fall, and emotions alone obviously cannot save it.

In particular, the main army was broken up in three days, and the capital, Camagüey, was surrounded.

The brutal reality has deprived everyone of the courage to save the Republic of Cuba.

Even Marseo didn't think so, and he was already unhappy with a compromise-filled government that didn't want to save them — even if President Desaith had just helped him.

He just wanted to fight for Cuban independence.

But at this point, his goal has been reduced again and again, and now all he wants is for the three eastern provinces to maintain de facto autonomy and exist as a union republic of the Cuban colonies.

To do this, he needs to unite the forces of Oriel and fight for a decent peace.

He did not know that it was this kind of thinking that led to his exclusion from the provinces of Granma, Santiago, and Guantanamo, and until now he has not been able to control any power.

The three eastern provinces wanted to put forward a representative to negotiate terms with Spain, but this representative must not be a staunch independent person like Maceio.

On 25 June, the Spanish army pressed the border, giving them no time to continue to put their internal units in order.

The number of recruits trained in the three eastern provinces is quite large, and more than 40,000 people are not a small number.

But their actual combat effectiveness was much lower than that of the Republican forces in Camagüey, and their role may have been limited to emboldening.

There are a large number of people in the army who share a gun, and the antics of a 60-year-old grandfather going to war.

He is a recruit who has not yet been trained, and he is suddenly pulled into the battlefield without being given enough weapons, and his will to fight is not strong.

Asania had thought that the Carlos infantry he had fought against was poor enough, but he didn't expect this army to be far superior to them.

Carlos should not have retreated to northern Spain in the first place, he should have come to Cuba by boat, spend three months sweeping away all the opposition, and then work hard to develop and wait for a counterattack on the mainland one day.

After discovering that the other side was defeated, Asania and Rajoy had no hesitation, and pursued fiercely, vowing to end the Cuban war within a week.

Before the actual fight, people always don't have a clear understanding of their own strength.

The ruler of the top powers, Emperor Napoleon III, could not understand his own army, let alone several high-ranking Cuban officials.

They thought that with so many people, even if it was tens of thousands of pigs, Spain would have to catch it for a few days, right?

But they didn't expect that the pig would not surrender and collapse into the establishment, but the people would.

In just two days, more than 5,000 Republican soldiers were killed and wounded, and countless escapees were carried out, while the Spanish soldiers lost no more than 200 people.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the vast province of Granma was left with a bare provincial capital, Bayamo.

Frightened, Ole and the others hurriedly sent people to sue for peace.

They no longer have the luxury of fighting for any autonomy, Cuba has never been self-governing anyway, as long as they can preserve their family business.

Their industry is nothing more than sugar mills, coffee mills, cigar factories, estates......

It is certainly a lot of wealth in the eyes of the individual, but it is the same in Cuba as a whole.

Rajoy and Asania wanted to agree to each other's conditions immediately, but they were still on the same issue, and the country did not give them the authority to negotiate, only let them come over to quell the rebellion, and did not talk about anything else.

They are also not sure what their superiors think, as long as the counterinsurgency is successful, some insignificant minor figures can be let go. Or do you really want to arrest them all and make an example of them.

It's okay if you don't negotiate, then Spain will have to pay at least a few hundred or nearly a thousand more soldiers' lives, and Asania is a little reluctant.

The main thing is that it is not necessary, aren't these hundreds of soldiers worth those few industries?

……

Alfonso, of course, is the second idea, otherwise he would not have denied the power to negotiate.

Unlike the aristocratic wars in Europe, this kind of suppression of colonial uprisings was of course very serious, especially his intention to make Cuba self-governing, and it was necessary to impress the later self-government government.

As for the lives of hundreds of servicemen ... It can only be said that there are no immortals in the war, and if Cuba becomes independent again in the future, more people will die.

It is better to knock down the foundations of the Cuban uprising once and for all.

However, Asania did not know what the king had in mind, and after a night of discussion, he and Rajoy agreed that as long as the counterinsurgency was successful, other details could be left alone.

So the next day they agreed to the terms of the envoy and urged the other party to hurry up and start the process of receiving the army.

……

"So you get it, run." Inside Santiago, Olele said to Maceo with a sigh.

The two are a bit stiff and it's just a matter of position, and he still respects Maceo, the "national hero" of Cuba, who used to take good care of him politically.

Now that the other party has agreed to their conditions, there is naturally no need to betray Marseo again, so he persuaded the other party to leave quickly.

"Spain, a small character like us, can be spared, and you, the number two person in the republic, will definitely die if you are caught, so hurry up."

Seeing that Marseillo was indifferent, Ole was a little anxious:

"You can't fight guerrillas if you stay here, Gerardo in Holguín province has taken over the management of several provinces, and his methods are sophisticated, plus Spain has indeed changed its character this time, and now the guerrillas have no popular base."

Seeing that Macio looked up at him with a somewhat loose expression, Olaire breathed a sigh of relief: "The Spaniards can only restrain themselves for a while, and when the Cubans see their true colors again, you will come back to lead the uprising!" ”

It was not easy to persuade Maceio, who refused to admit the result of the Treaty of Tibet and Spain, which stopped the struggle between the Republic of Cuba and Spain, and fought until the team completely collapsed.

Marseo was gone, and he went to the United States on the ship that Olle had prepared, but he would return soon, and he was only going to the United States to avoid the limelight.

Unlike capitalists and estate owners such as Desaith and Olaire, Marsio was born as a commoner and could not get along in the United States at all, and his value could only be found in Cuba.
