Chapter 467: The Great Scuffle in South America

However, Mr. Wen's kindness did not accept it, except for the support of his younger brother Japan, the other powers opposed direct intervention in the situation in South America. Because so many people died in the First World War, the anti-war sentiment in the whole European society is extremely serious, the revolutionary upsurge has just passed, and the governments of various countries do not dare to test the psychological bottom line of the people.

Even in the United States, where there are relatively few dead people, the government has the intention to intervene, but the people do not want to fight, and even the chaebols who can influence policies are now eyeballed in Africa, so naturally they can't spare much energy to care about South American affairs. In their view, Africa, which has not yet been developed much, has more oil and water than South America, and the United States has the final say, and it can do whatever it wants, and South America will have to give more or less to the local government, not to mention the high profits over there.

Because there was so much opposition, in accordance with the principle of unanimity among the great powers, the final proposal for the formation of a peacekeeping force had to be dismissed. However, this is only a direct end, and proxy wars can still be fought. The Allied bloc led by Germany supported Argentina, the Entente bloc led by Britain and France supported Brazil, while the US-led SCO and China-led PRC were neutral.

With the top powers watching from the sidelines and not directly ending, this AB war was fought in the dark. At the time, Brazil had a total population of 28 million, compared to Argentina's 11 million, but Argentina's government revenue was more than half that of Brazil's, and the transportation situation in southern Brazil was relatively poor, so the war potential of the two countries was almost the same.

Just when the AB war was in full swing, Bolivia also jumped out and brushed its sense of existence.

In the early morning of September 9, 2767 (1926), the silence of the Valley of Mansions was broken by the roar of engines, and the Bolivian army marched into the area. Bolivia asserted its sovereignty over the region while expelling the local Paraguayan population. To tell the truth, Paraguay really doesn't want to fight at this time, but the Paraguayan war 55 years ago really scared them. But now in this situation, Paraguay has been forced into a corner and declared war on Bolivia on September 16.

The Valley of the Mansion War, also known as the Chaco War, broke out 6 years earlier. But that's not all, there is also a lot of trouble between Colombia and Venezuela over the ownership of the Maracaibo plain, and war is about to break out.

Because of the influence of Wen Desi, the wind god pterodactyl, China has risen strongly, and there is more China as a super market in the world, which is a black hole-like market. Most importantly, the take-off of China's aviation, automobile and petrochemical industries has also led to the development of the oil industry, and by the way, the boom of oil resources.

The economic strength of most South American countries far exceeds the level of the same period in the original time and space, and correspondingly, the contradictions between countries have become more serious. In addition to historical grievances, the most important driving force for these contradictions is practical interests.

These countries used to be poor, even if there were a little contradictions between each other, as long as they were not too excessive, they gritted their teeth, and it was too expensive to fight. But after these South American countries have made a fortune, their mentality is different. In the past, if you didn't have money, you can forget it, but now that you have money, you can't be happy and revenge, how can you have a happy time?

The real reason for the intensification of their contradictions is that historical grievances are only a part, and the main thing is practical interests. It is precisely because they all make a fortune by selling resources that they are naturally very sensitive to this source of wealth. If you don't have resources, you can see that the neighbor with resources has made a fortune, and it would be a lie to say that you don't have a red eye, and you naturally want to rob the neighbor if you don't have it at home. But there are already resources and they are not at ease, and people's hearts are bitter and not satisfied, and they have to look forward to Shu. I still have too little, so I naturally want more.

Colombia, for example, exports mainly coal, oil, natural gas, emeralds, bauxite and uranium. In addition, there are minerals such as gold, silver, nickel, platinum, and iron. But they found that Venezuela next door sold more oil than they did, counted the money until their hands cramped, and lived a more nourishing life than themselves.

Colombians are unbalanced, and what makes them sit still the most is that the Maracaibo plain, where the oil fields are most concentrated, is right on their doorstep, right on their doorstep, and they say it twice because it's important. So Colombia made a territorial claim to Venezuela, claiming the Maracaibo plain as its own.

Well, theoretically, there is no problem with Colombia's request either, well, at least that's what the Colombians think.

Because the predecessor of Colombia is the "Republic of Gran Colombia", which is a country established in the course of Bolivar's leadership of the South American people to resist Spanish colonial rule and fight for national independence, including Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Panama. It's just that it was a short-lived country, and after the death of its founder Bolívar in 1831, it disintegrated due to internal contradictions.

Colombia felt that it was the Orthodox region of the northern part of South America and had natural jurisdiction over it. Now they feel that Venezuela has taken too much territory at that time, so they demand that the Maracaibo plain be ceded to them. According to the Colombians, they feel that they are already very merciful if they do not ask for the re-merger next door, and now they just want a piece of land, dare not give it?

But the Venezuelans can't accept it. The good ones want us to cut the land, why?

However, Venezuela was much weaker than Colombia, so they immediately turned to Ecuador for help, and they used good excuses. "The ambitious Colombians want to restore Gran Colombia, now it's time to fight us first, and if we can't bear it, then it's your turn......"

Venezuela is not a rhetorical statement, Colombia has made a fortune in recent years, and ambitions have begun to rise, and rhetoric such as "rebuilding Gran Colombia" is quite popular in their country. Ecuador was really frightened, a small country like them would definitely not be able to play Colombia, and they still understood the truth of cold lips and teeth. If Venezuela does hit the streets, they will be doomed.

As for Panama, which is the other parted country, there is no need to worry, because they are now a member of the Atlantic Treaty Organization and are directly protected by the United States. If Colombia dares to trouble Panama, the Yankee cowboys will pump them all over the place.

Originally, the United States wanted to take care of it, after all, this is its backyard, because of the Panama issue, the relationship between Colombia and the Yankees is very bad, so the United States intends to help Venezuela, so they sent the Atlantic Fleet to threaten the coastal area of Colombia.

But the Yankees miscalculated this time, and their act of sending the fleet stabbed the hornet's nest at once, and was immediately opposed by all the powers. In particular, the European powers reacted the most, and for the first time since World War I, the two blocs of the Entente and the Central Powers, joined forces and demanded that the United States immediately withdraw its troops and not interfere in the internal contradictions of the South American countries.

This is normal, the Europeans feel that this **** bald eagle has taken too much advantage and reaped too many benefits, and they can't be cheaper anymore anyway. Moreover, the reasons they put forward are also quite slap in the face, they have returned to the United States the statements that the United States has always talked about, such as "open doors, equal opportunities, and free trade".

At the same time, the European coalition forces were also dispatched, and Britain, Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Spain, Greece and Belgium announced the formation of a joint fleet for a "goodwill visit" to Colombia. The Europeans think very normally, they feel that since Colombia and the United States do not deal with each other, then it is time to support and contain the United States.

At the end of World War I, the Eagle Sauce family went crazy and made dumplings, exploding a sea of tanks and planes, but it scared the whole world. Whether the United States can continue to build up its strength has become a tacit understanding of old Europe. Of course, China is also included in the list of important restrictions, but it is much more low-key than the ostentatious United States.

China's Eight-Nation Coalition was not organized, but the Yankees tried the Eight-Nation Coalition in Europe first. Although the current United States is also very powerful, it is far from being the hope of mankind that can sling the whole world. Moreover, in this matter, China, a good friend on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, did not support them, but only talked to them on the side, asking everyone to sit down and have a good talk. Now the United States is alone, and in the face of opposition from almost all of Europe, the little brothers of the Western Organization can't help much, and they have no choice but to admit it.

It just so happened that China's peace mud also brought the United States to a step down, so the big hooligans got together again and made a new agreement. It stipulates that in the future, the internal contradictions in South America will be resolved by the people of South America themselves, that the great powers will not intervene in their own hands, and that a strict arms embargo will be imposed on the belligerents.

As a result, the situation in South America has returned to its former state, and under the inaction of the big hooligans, the contradictions in the South American countries have intensified more and more. Well, not all the big hooligans are left alone, China has always advised everyone not to fight, but it is limited to verbal persuasion, which obviously has no effect.

On November 11, 2767 (1926), the CVE War broke out, and Colombia fought with Venezuela and Ecuador.

........................................................................

December 7th. Hankyung, presidential palace.

The AB War and the Mansion Valley War had reached its climax, with Brazil and Argentina fighting each other and supporting both sides of the Edifice Valley War, with Brazil supporting Bolivia and Argentina supporting Paraguay.

As for the CVE war in the north, it is not yet fiercely fought, but it has taken a strange turn.

Colombia's strategy is to "attack from the east and defend from the west", preparing to take out the most threatening Venezuela first. And Ecuador originally took the initiative to attack Colombia in accordance with the agreement, and they did so honestly. On 13 November, Ecuadorian troops crossed the border and attacked Colombia, but their forces were so weak that they were overwhelmed by the tight Colombian lines. The 20,000 troops they had managed to pull up were defeated, leaving behind more than 3,000 corpses and retreating in disarray.

But just as Ecuador was licking its wounds and preparing to fight again. Peru next door sent troops, and since Ecuador's main forces were concentrated in the north and Colombia, the southern defense was empty, and only a few militias and police were left on the southern border. Therefore, the Peruvian army commander who attacked in a big way drove straight in, and the Ecuadorian side was dominated by militias, with rudimentary weapons and scattered troops, and was defeated and retreated under the attack of the opponent's superior forces. In less than half a month, a large area of land in the south was lost.

That's right, Peru was hooked by Colombia. Colombia is not stupid, after learning the news of the alliance between Venezuela and Ecuador, they also responded immediately, and immediately sent a secret envoy to collude with Peru.

Peru and Ecuador also have old grudges. During the Spanish colonial period, Ecuador was originally part of the Viceroyalty of Peru and later to the Viceroyalty of New Granada, so it left many legacies. Since the independence of the two countries, the border has not been formally demarcated, and border disputes have occurred between the two sides.

The year before last, oil fields were discovered in the upper reaches of the Amazon River, and Ecuador relied on selling oil to live a very prosperous life. A red-eyed Peru said that the territory was mine, and the conflict between Peru and Eritrea intensified.

"Hey, why do human beings fight each other? Really, why bother, isn't it good for everyone to sit down and talk, why don't you listen to persuasion......" Looking at the latest information in his hand, the compassionate Wen Deji couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

In conclusion, he said: "All in all, it is the fault of colonial imperialism! Spain is responsible! They are the main culprits in the war in South America, and they are still brutally suppressing the liberation movement of the people of Western Sahara, which we would like to condemn in a strong voice." In addition, the people of Western Sahara should be given more weapons......"

He was a noble man, a man who had detached himself from lowly tastes, and he was heartbroken for the peace and happiness of all mankind and for the independence and freedom of the oppressed people.

Lu Zhengxiang reminded: "Mr. Wen, Spain's suppression of the colonies is a ...... with France."

"Is France a part? How do I not know......" Wen Desi said with an innocent face, "Uh, okay. Then negotiate with Spain, and if we agree to the conditions we proposed last time to increase the quota of tungsten ore, we will stop supporting the Western Sahara colonies, and sell them those weapons, and they can also give them the planes and combat vehicles they want......"

"Understood, Mr. Wen ......" Lu Zhengxiang left with an embarrassed face, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Weijun running in.

Gu Weijun said hello to him and hurriedly entered the office.

"Mr. Wen, the Chilean government is asking my country for advice......" Gu Weijun said excitedly.

"What's the opinion?"

"Paraguay and Ecuador have officially asked Chile for help, and the Chilean government is now asking for our opinion...... "Gu Weijun said with a smile on his eyebrows. "Mr. Wen, this is a good opportunity! There are 600,000 Chinese in Chile!"
