Chapter 73: The War That Destroyed a Nation
"this……"
Faced with Malena's request, Philip hesitated.
This is not an easy request.
Rescue the Major?
Doesn't this mean sending out troops? Although Philip is a local tyrant in this city, it doesn't mean he is willing to take risks for his "old friend".
After all, the Mapuche were not easy to deal with. It was a blessing from God that they did not attack Viedma.
The lieutenant frowned and spoke after a while.
"Marlena, you should know that I'm just a lieutenant."
Although he didn't continue talking, his helpless look made his attitude clear.
"Besides, the Mapuche tribe is at least several hundred kilometers away from here, and we have no connection at all. So, Malena, Monica, you stay here for a few days first, and I will see if I can help you with anything."
Although he rejected the other party, Philip still remembered some old feelings. After thinking about it, he said again.
"Perhaps, I can ask some businessmen and maybe save the major by paying a ransom. What do you think?"
"Is it really possible?"
Marlena said in surprise.
"Maybe, it should be possible!"
Of course Philip was not sure. If it was just an ordinary soldier, perhaps he could be redeemed with a ransom. But Bellucci was a major, such a big shot. How could the Mapuche people let him go easily?
Having a white major as a slave among them is an honor to the tribe itself!
“You don’t need to worry about the major’s safety. Believe me, as long as he is alive, the Mapuche people will definitely treat him well. After all, the major is an important figure.”
"That……"
After thinking for a while, Marlena said.
"Then we'll wait here for your good news."
As guests from afar, Philip settled the Bellucci sisters in the best hotel in the city, where the Countess stayed last time. As soon as the sisters entered the room, Monica immediately said.
"Sister, I don't trust that guy!"
Looking at her sister, Marlena sighed.
“I don’t believe him either, but what choice do we have now? We can’t take Fernando into the grasslands and rescue my father directly. The Mapuche people will be able to see through our disguise at a glance…”
When Marlena said this, Monica pouted.
“Oh, if only that Zhu… that guy was here, he looks a lot like a Mapuche. If he were here, maybe he could pretend to be a Mapuche and lead us into the grasslands, find the Mapuche tribe, and rescue my father…”
Monica sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs, with a hint of dissatisfaction on her pretty face, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with the guy's hasty departure.
"He's just a stranger, how could he possibly go on an adventure with us?"
Marlena said, shaking her head.
"If he were here, I could find a way to get him to go with us!"
Monica puffed out her chest confidently, and her proud and confident eyes fell squarely on her sister's chest.
Malena had already taken off her men's clothes. Although she was wearing a men's shirt and nothing could be seen, she still couldn't hide her amazingly bulging curves. She lowered her eyebrows and looked in front of her, which made her have an idea:
How could it be... so big?
But after a moment, she thought again... Although I am a little small, I will grow up soon and will definitely be bigger than my sister's...
After feeling her sister's gaze, Marlena just smiled and said.
"Yes, I know you have plenty of ways to convince him, but he's not here."
Of course, this was just a polite gesture. Malena didn't know that in another "parallel universe", she did successfully "persuade" Zhu Xianhai to go deep into the Pampas with them, but the result was very tragic. Zhu Xianhai directly interpreted what it means to "die first if you fail to protect the flower".
Of course, the two sisters didn't know that the guy they were talking about was not far away from Viedma.
…
"A-choo..."
An unexpected sneeze made Zhu Xianhai look outside. The weather here was pretty good. Could it be that he was too tired last night and got a cold?
It's all that Elizabeth's fault...she's definitely responsible.
Rubbing his nose, Zhu Xianhai certainly could not have imagined that the twin sisters he had always dreamed of would actually come to Biedma . Right now, he was planning an "invasion" of Biedma. Taking action to prevent trouble before it happens, the most important thing is to seize the initiative.
"Quality is more important than quantity. He is just a Bedema..."
Muttering this in his mind, Zhu Xianhai once again stared at Biedma on the map. It was just a small town with a population of less than a thousand. It would be a piece of cake to capture this town.
"My lord, it's easy to take down Viedma, but you have to think about what to do after you take it down. Besides, there is Carmen on the other side of the river. These are two cities."
Fang Zhanbo's words made Zhu Xianhai laugh.
"It's okay. They can't take care of us right now. They have a lot of things to deal with."
The reason why Zhu Xianhai was so confident was actually simple - the political struggle in Buenos Aires was extremely fierce now. He had experienced it personally in the previous simulations. The political differences between the Minister of Military Bartolomé Mitre, who had repeatedly tried to steal his money and kill him, and the President of the Confederation Justo José de Urquiza were getting bigger and bigger, and they were already at the point where they were incompatible.
A military coup was imminent. In a few months, he would take advantage of Urquiza's departure from Buenos Aires to launch a military coup. Then what?
The Argentine Civil War broke out again. From now on, the civil war that has lasted for many years will definitely end with one side being completely defeated. Before that, they will definitely not care about the border area of Viedma.
"But, we still have to consider some variables. Even if they can't take care of this right now, what if they have time to spare? Owner, I think it's better to be cautious."
Faced with Qian Deshan's persuasion, Zhu Xianhai thought about it, then nodded and said.
"It won't hurt to be more cautious. We should strengthen the training of the troops in the next few days. As for Viedma..."
Otherwise, simulate it again!
Just as they said, there is nothing wrong with being cautious. Moreover, this is a "war to overthrow the country" and also a "war to establish the country" for Nanhua.
