Two hundred years later, there is no way to know how this pig farmer, Raphael Carrera, fought.

There is no way to know what this pig farmer likes and hates......

For no other reason, the pig-killing knife in Raphael Larera's hand not only kills the enemy, but also his own people.

In his old age, all the people who had known him in his youth, whether they were enemies or friends, were killed by him, and he truly became a 'widow'.

In 1854, the Pig Killer announced the cancellation of the election, and the Guatemalan Congress declared its dissolution after completing its last mission – the appointment of Rafael Carrera as president for life.

In the history of another time and space, due to the hegemony of the American Federation, Central America, a country with a bunch of bits and pieces, could not be in the newspapers even if it had a brain. Even the news could not reach Mexico, and a company of soldiers from any American military base in the Caribbean would settle the matter.

Pig killers like Rafael Carrera can only end up being one of the countless 'dictators' in Central America along with a bunch of 'Antonio' or 'Mariano'.

— but that was all after his death.

Even though almost all the details of his conquests had been lost while he was still alive, it turned out that he might be a kind of 'military genius'!

He used his butcher's knife to kill everyone in fear. Whether it is an enemy or his own people, it is difficult to raise the mind of resistance in front of him.

Both Americans and Spaniards can only be inept and furious in the newspapers, cursing him and slandering him with all the vicious language. And he was illiterate, and a stubbornly illiterate, who did not read the newspapers, and could not listen to the opinions of others—whether it was slander or advice, he broke through all laws with one sword, and his heart was as solid as a mountain.

Slaughter brings victory. During his endless years of conquest, the Central American Federation was divided and merged, whether it was the enemy or the enemy, he always waved his army to meet it, without the slightest intimidation, killing all the way to the past, killing the enemy's corpses all over the field, cutting off children and grandchildren, until the dissolution of the Central American Federation.

With victory came glory, and even the Pope of Rome awarded him a 'Order of St. Gregory'.

Glory brings praise, and during the nearly 40 years of his reign, the Guatemalan people enjoyed a rare peace, and even after his death, he was hailed as the 'Founder of Guatemala'.

This is a strongman who built a country with a butcher's knife.

Many refer to him as an 'executioner' or a 'dictator', but for Rafael Carrera, the real 'executioner' may be someone else in this Central American territory where 'all living beings are ants'.

……

In the southernmost part of Mexico, on the border with Guatemala, on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

Standing on the hillside, Carrera, 32, handed the bright red handkerchief to the guard next to her, and greeted the oncoming scalp warmly.

"Hi my scalp brother, you don't look good today!"

Scalp struggled to pull his feet out of the soft mud and waved at Carrera from afar: "Hi Raphael, are you okay?" ”

"Of course, I'm fine!" Carrera said: "There are a few stupid councillors who have just been sent to hell by my own hands! ”

"I just went to patrol the trenches," Scalp said, "and it's going slower than I thought!" ”

"How do you say that: 'Fat pigs don't grow overnight' - we still have time, Scalp brothers!" Carré stretched out his hand, grabbed his scalp's hand, and pulled him out of the mud after the rain up the hill.

They stood on the side of a hill, and from their point of view, there was a magnificent construction site at their feet, and countless people were bent over their waists and digging the ground.

From time to time, soldiers on horseback weaved through the crowd, whips waving with a burst that was louder than a bullet coming out.

"At this point, maybe Zachary Taylor has already taken Mexico City!" Scalp said worriedly.

"Don't worry too much, Scalp Brother." Carrera said: "Zachary Taylor's first choice after playing Mexico City was definitely going north, not us. ”

Scalp nodded, sighed again, and said, "That's why I'm worried about that!" ”

"Are you worried about turtledoves?"

"Of course, of course I'm worried about turtledoves." Scalp replied.

"Then I can't do anything," Carrera said, "no matter how grand the strategy, it will end up on the battlefield." If you can't defeat Zachary Taylor on the battlefield, your Indian state will not be built. ”

"Well, you're right." Scalp said, "I can't wait to take a legion north now!" ”

"Forget it, Scalp Brother!" Carrera said, "If you talk about diplomacy or something, you're barely qualified." But when it comes to raising troops to fight, you're not even as good as a boar I raised. ”

Scalp laughed dryly.

"Don't worry too much, Scalp Brother." Carrera said: "It is impossible for Turtledove to come up with such a battle plan without anticipating Zachary Taylor's attack, he must have a way. We just need to be ourselves. ”

"Do you think we're going to win?" Scalp asked.

"I'm not a prophet, and I don't know what will happen until the winner is decided. After all, that's the United States, you know what I mean? Carrera said.

"I ...... Probably yes. Scalp replied.

If the enemy is Ecuador or Honduras, Rafael Carrera will usually reply categorically, "Lao Tzu kills them like pigs!" But now the enemy is the United States, and even Rafael Carrera does not dare to say that he will win.

Don't look at the current Indian Alliance, it is said that it has united dozens of countries and regions, but compared to the American Federation, it is like a group of kindergarten children besieging a 2-meter strong man.

"Instead of expressing your concerns to me here, you should go to New Grenada and Venezuela again, and let them send another batch of slaves over quickly!" Rafael Carrera said:

"I'm wondering if I'm going to go to Mexico—", Scalp said.

"There's no need to go to Mexico anymore," Rafael Carrera said categorically: "This war, although the Europeans call it the 'Mexican-American War', doesn't really have half a peso to do with Mexico." ”

Scalp thought about it for a moment and felt that Rafael Carrera had a point.

The people and land of Mexico have nothing to do with Mexico now.

Corn and cotton grow on Mexican soil, but those are not Mexican, they have long been not.

The people of Mexico have nothing but ballots in their hands. However, the votes in the hands of the Mexican people are all made up later, and some warlord leaders now find it troublesome to even hold an election, and directly write a 1 million on the ballot, which means that 1 million people support their election.

"Don't worry, my scalp brother!" Rafael Carrera said: "As long as the turtledove can block the north face, Mexico is a dead place. Zachary Taylor's army of 100,000 will not be 100,000 corpses by the end of the year! ”

"Well, I probably don't know much about war, I'll go to Venezuela again!" Scalp said.

"Go and tell them that if you are a black slave or a white slave, as long as you can wield an iron pickaxe, you are a good slave!" Carrera said.

……

For the Central American Federation, what was most needed was a canal.

Some people want the canal to be in Nicaragua, and some want the canal to be in Panama. Each has its own reasoning, and each has its own supporters.

But for Rafael Carrera, the pig killer, the canal is best on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

There is no point in not having a canal in Guatemala!

For the sake of this canal, he did not hesitate to join forces with the Indians in the north to fight against the most powerful Americans!

For the sake of the canal, he could also get whites, blacks, and all sorts of mixed races to participate 'equally' in this vigorous 'Operation Trench'!

No matter how many scholars and parliamentarians opposed him, no matter how uneconomical, inefficient and inappropriate the Tehuantepec Isthmus Canal was, he simply hacked all the opponents to death.

Interpretation? Rafael Carrera doesn't need to explain to anyone.

The pig killer's mind is not so complicated.

He just wants to protect his homeland, Guatemala!
