The critical situation of the Argentine war spread to the European continent, and European public opinion was boiling. British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli specifically convened a cabinet meeting on this.

"Gentlemen, according to the information returned by the diplomats, Santa Fe, the central city of Argentina, fell the night before, and the 12,000 regular Argentine troops stationed in Santa Fe city were annihilated. Just two hours ago, I just received diplomacy. The telegram transmitted by the Ministry was sent by Argentine President Mitre personally. In the telegraph, President Mitre sincerely asked for help from the British Empire to rescue Argentina, who is also a white race. Now I take President Mitre ’s A copy of the telegram is distributed to you and I hope you can give appropriate suggestions. "

Ben Benmin nodded towards his administrative secretary, and then the young secretary led seven or eight attendants to distribute a copy of the telegram to the members of the cabinet.

"Prime Minister, I think it is necessary to brief the key cabinet members on the general situation of the warring parties before discussing the issue concerning Argentina."

A copy of the telegram had just been distributed, and a fat man with a bald head stood up and spoke.

请 "Please, Lord Cecil."

Benjamin nodded and motioned to the other party to start speaking.

"The Argentine war involves two major nations-Han and Argentina. Argentina was a country of Spanish descent. During the Napoleonic Wars, the Imperial Army attempted to occupy the Governor's District of La Plata, but it was unsuccessful and because of the territorial dispute of the Falkland Islands The problem is that the Argentine government has always been vigilant about the commercial activities of the Empire in its country. The relationship between the two countries has not been as close as the Empire and South American countries such as Brazil and Chile. The Han country itself is a group of poor Chinese workers. Established a country. Eleven years ago, King Han Ming of China led Chinese workers to launch an uprising in Peru. Then, in the confrontation with the army of Peru, Brazil and other countries, Li Mingyuan relied on the cunning march command and the hard-working Chinese army to continuously obtain The military victory of Peru, Brazil, Argentina and other countries, and with the prestige brought by the victory of the war and gradually eroding the achievements of the territories of Brazil and Argentina, successfully established another Chinese country outside the Qing Dynasty. "

After introducing the start-up process in Argentina and the Han Dynasty, the bald fat man went on to say, "King Li Mingyuan of Han Dynasty was the son of Li Shixian, the servant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After the two states in southern Brazil, Li Mingyuan gave up the old concept of hierarchy in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He distributed the occupied land to poor Chinese workers and subsequent migrants transported from the Qing Dynasty free of charge. At the same time, he imported machinery and equipment from Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Actively develop local industrial construction in Han.

Li Mingyuan made a series of measures to make the strength of the Han country grow rapidly and the strength of the National Defense Forces under his control also increased rapidly in ten years. Therefore, I would like to remind you that the Han country in South America is not the same as the Qing Dynasty in the Far East. The comprehensive strength and military strength of the Han country can never be solved by the Imperial Government sending thousands or 20,000 troops. If the Imperial Government agrees to the request of the Argentine Government and personally sends troops to participate in the war, then I recommend that the Imperial Government send at least 50,000 At the same time, an army unit of more than two people dispatched a fleet of at least one sub-fleet to South America to impose a maritime blockade and arms embargo on the coastal areas of the country. "

"Lord Cecil, I don't understand how you came to the aid of Argentina. The imperial government needs to deploy data of at least 50,000 troops. You know that when it attacked Myanmar and the Qing Dynasty, the imperial government also sent only 20,000 local troops. In the final analysis, the Han country is just a Chinese country established ten years ago. Can their population and soldiers be compared with those of Myanmar and Qing Dynasty? If they attack a Han country, the imperial government will need to send 50,000 troops, and then face more than 1,000 A vast colony of 10,000 square kilometers, isn't the imperial government trying to draw all the troops in the country? "

并不是 Not all members of the Cabinet's key ministries belong to the Liberal party like Benjamin and Cecil. Therefore, after Cecil spoke, he was quickly opposed by the Liberal party.

爵士 "Sir Glasdo, do you really think that you can defeat Han without sending 50,000 troops?"

当然 "Of course, as long as there are 10,000 colonial troops, the imperial government can force those yellow monkeys to bow their knees and surrender!"

呵 "Haha, did Sir Gleissor forget the defeat of Isandelva?"

The bald fat man ridiculed, "Baron Chelmsford had 20,000 colonial troops, but he was defeated by the uncivilized black Zulu in the battle of Issandelva. Does your Excellency think that the defeat of the Brazilians and Argentines Would n’t it be better for the Zulu blacks with short spears and shields? "

"The defeat of the Battle of Isandelva was just an accident. If the frontline commanders were more careful, 1,500 soldiers would not be wiped out!"

"Huh, the frontline commander disregarded the enemy? I think it was Baron Chelmsford who has been in London for too long, and he forgot how to fight, otherwise he would not blindly dispatch a thousand when the strength of the enemy was unknown. Five hundred soldiers went inland in South Africa. "

"You are stigmatizing! Baron Chelmsford did not order the frontline troops to go deeper inland. It was the frontline commanders who took the enemy into their own hands and let the troops fall into the trap."

Glesdo defended Chelmsford loudly.

"Is it Chelmsford's responsibility that needs to be determined by the Prime Minister and the cabinet's key members, it's not you who counts alone!"

The battle between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party involves not only politics, but also military diplomacy. Generals who prefer different parties are also highly competitive.

Chelmsford has a better relationship with the Liberal faction. When the British government decided to kill Zulu in South Africa, Chelmsford supported by the Liberal Party was able to serve as commander of the South African colonial forces and was responsible for commanding Zulu. Siege battle.

However, the Zulu were different from ordinary African nations. They were more aggressive. In the war of early 1879, the British colonial army, which ignored the enemy, suffered several defeats and lost more than 2,000 troops. After the failure lesson, the South African colonial army suspended the attack on the Zulus first, then rectified the remaining troops, and waited for the local reinforcements to arrive before fighting.

By the end of March, when the fighting in Argentina was underway, the British government approved the request of the South African colonial forces and dispatched seven regiments from home to rush to South Africa to fight.

The strength of the seven regiments is still on their way to South Africa. Chelmsford has temporarily retained his original position due to the situation in South Africa. However, the British Cabinet has started discussions on the replacement of Chelmsford's generals, and there are several Reserve candidate.

Both the Zulu War and the Guano War involved a certain amount of energy from the British government. At this time, the outbreak of the war in Argentina gave the British cabinet officials a problem.

It is not difficult for the British government to send in 20,000 or even 50,000 regular troops, but Argentina is different from South Africa and Chile. South Africa is a British colony. It is the duty of the British government to eliminate the Zulu people there.

Scopolite is the main raw material for the production of explosives. Before synthetic ammonia was not invented, saltpeter mined from Chile was of great value in maintaining British gunpowder output. Therefore, the British government also had to intervene in the guano war.

Compared with the previous two wars ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The potential gains and expenditures of the Argentine war are not cost-effective.

In terms of revenue, Argentina's domestic mineral resources are limited. The British government cannot directly obtain high economic benefits from the local area. On the other hand, in order to assist Argentina, the British government needs to send tens of thousands of army troops and be prepared to fight long-term consumption wars.

The first option to interfere in the war in Argentina was to send troops directly, but like the war between Han and Argentina in 1870, interference in sending troops was not favored by cabinet officials, but on the other hand, Argentina is a white-dominated country. Britain also has some economic benefits in the local area. Seeing that Argentina is in crisis but not helping out is not good for Britain's global strategy. Therefore, the cabinet officials in London first set the tone for responding to the Argentine war. The scale should be controlled within a certain range. At the same time, the military action to assist Argentina should not be undertaken by the British family, and Brazil and Chile should shoulder the main military obligations. Of course, if the situation goes well, France and Germany It ’s better to pull in to share the pressure, but as for the United States, let their Monroe **** go. British gentlemen do not look like they have been taken away by the United States, even if Argentina is in the hands of the Han. It is also much better than the entire South America being controlled by the United States. Ps: My friends, I'm a little mouse on the mountain.
