Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Your Excellency, I am just following orders!" the Chilean ambassador to Argentina said coldly.  Although, this kind of undeclared war is indeed a bit shameful.  However, as long as we can win the war, everything is worth it!

    "Hmph! Your Excellency Ambassador, Argentina is declaring war on Chile! Although you have adopted the despicable method of undeclared war, I will help you. The final victory must belong to Argentina. Argentina will not fail!  "Argentine President Jose Figueroa Alqueta said firmly.  Although the national strength of the two countries is similar, Argentina's population is almost twice that of Chile, and it also has the support of Brazil, the largest country in South America. This makes President Jose Figueroa Alqueta very confident!

    "Your Excellency, I understand. If there is nothing else, I will leave!" said the Chilean ambassador to Argentina.  As usual, after the declaration of war, the embassy personnel must evacuate Argentina as soon as possible.

    Fortunately, the embassy had already made preparations, and their luggage had been packed long ago. At the same time, there was already a passenger ship waiting for them at the port. They only needed to rush to the port area to leave Argentina.  All this obviously proves that Chile's undeclared war against Argentina this time was premeditated!

    "Let's go!" President Jose Figueroa Alqueta waved his hand, as if to shoo away another fly!

    The Chilean ambassador to Argentina bowed, turned around and left.  He is also very dissatisfied with the attitude of Argentine President Jose Figueroa Alqueta.  "Hmph! I hope you can still have such arrogance after Argentina's defeat!" the Chilean ambassador to Argentina thought secretly in his heart.  In his view, although Argentina is powerful, even Brazil may be involved.  But after receiving support and help from China, there is no doubt that Chile will win this war!

    ¡°Come here, summon the cabinet members immediately!¡± After the Chilean ambassador to Argentina left, President Jose Figueroa Alqueta immediately ordered.  No matter what, the war has begun. Although Argentina was caught off guard by Chile's undeclared war, they will eventually find a way to win the final victory.  Otherwise, once it fails, it will be a disaster for them and Argentina as a whole!

    In less than half an hour, all the important officials of the Argentine government and cabinet arrived.  However, everyone's faces were very ugly.  On the way here, they had already learned about Chile's choice of Argentina, and they knew that before the official declaration of war, the Chilean navy had already launched an attack on the Argentine navy!

    "Your Excellency, these Chileans are so despicable. I hope to launch a counterattack against the Chileans immediately! Our army is ready for war!" A tall, white-haired old man from Argentina said loudly.  Army Secretary Martin, who previously served as Army Commander, has very high prestige in the Army and even Argentina as a whole!

    "Since the Chileans dare to declare war against us, they must have been prepared for it! With the Andes Mountains blocking us, it may be difficult for our army to succeed!" Jose = Figueroa = Alque  President Ta said with some worry!

    Minister of War Martin stopped talking. Of course he knew the situation on the front line very well.  While developing their army, the Chileans also fortified the strategic locations bordering the two countries and deployed heavy troops.  If the Argentine Army takes the initiative to launch an attack, I am afraid it will be bloody.  The reason why he clamored to launch a counterattack against Chile was just to show everyone his attitude!

    "Your Excellency, I think the most important thing for us now is to contact Brazil and ask for its help. The Chileans have been planning for this war for a long time. With our strength, even if we win the war, we will probably lose money."  Tragic. Now we need to bring the Brazilians over and fight the Chileans with us!" said Foreign Minister Kim.

    Jose = Figueroa = President Alqueta nodded: "Your Excellency Kim, please contact the ambassador to Brazil immediately after the meeting!"

    "Your Excellency, the key to your independence is the navy! The navy was attacked by the Chileans. What happened? If the navy fails, it will be a very heavy blow to us. Moreover, our important cities  , are located on the seaside and are extremely vulnerable to attack by the Chilean Navy!" Finance Minister Liaobote asked.  The few battleships ordered by the navy have wiped out Argentina's wealth. It would be very heartbreaking if they were lost like this!

    Jose = Figueroa = President Alqueta looked at Navy Minister Laurette, but Laurette's face was livid!

    "The current situation is very bad. The battleships of the Chilean Navy are more powerful than ours. At the same time, their naval quality is?Higher than ours too.  In addition, we have just received the battleship and are not familiar with the battleship yet. Therefore, we are at an absolute disadvantage!  "Laurette said.!

    As soon as he finished speaking, everyone¡¯s faces became gloomier again.  Although Laurette said it tactfully, everyone knows that the Argentine Navy may be in trouble this time!

    Before the meeting ended, the presidential secretary suddenly broke in, and everyone¡¯s eyes were involuntarily focused on him!

    "Your Excellency, I just got the news that the naval battle is over! Our battleship Mendoza was sunk, and the other three battleships were severely damaged and have surrendered to the Chileans. The telegram is from Admiral Carlos Colo  I sent it back before surrender!" the secretary said with a pale face!

    "What? How could this happen?" President Jose Figueroa Alqueta suddenly shouted. He never expected that it would be such a result.  The Navy Minister Laurette next to him was even more ashamed.  The four battleships that Argentina had spent all its financial resources to purchase were actually wiped out within a few hours. What he couldn't accept the most was that except for one that was sunk, the remaining three all surrendered voluntarily!

    The cabinet members of the Argentine government were stunned by the news.  No one expected that Argentina would suffer such heavy losses as soon as the war started!

    "Your Excellency Martin, order the frontline troops to prepare to resist the Chilean invasion! Your Excellency Kim, contact Brazil immediately. Our current situation is very critical and we need their help! Everyone, the survival of Argentina is now at stake.  Let's unite, I believe, the final victory must belong to Argentina!" President Jose Figueroa Alqueta lost his temper slightly, but then he came to his senses and calmly issued the order!

    "Yes, Your Excellency, President!" The cabinet members of the government also know that Argentina will now face an extremely dangerous situation!

    The cabinet meeting of the Argentine government has just ended. The Chilean ambassador to Argentina, who was about to leave Argentina, came to the presidential palace again. This time, he came also on orders.

    After receiving the news that the navy had achieved a great victory, the President of Chile gave him a new order and asked him to bring the Chilean government¡¯s ultimatum to Argentina!

    "Your Excellency, now that Argentina's navy has been wiped out, Argentina has no hope of winning this war! Our president hopes that your country can surrender to reduce unnecessary casualties!" The Chilean Ambassador to Argentina arrogantly said  said!

    "Hmph! Don't be delusional. Even if the navy is defeated, we still have the army, and we still have 5.5 million Argentines. The final victory must belong to us!" Jose = Figueroa = Al  President Keta said firmly!

    "Your Excellency, are you stubborn? Don't forget, Buenos Aires is on the seaside. If you don't surrender, Buenos Aires will become a target of attack!" said the Chilean Embassy.  The ambassador threatened!

    "Damn it, do you want to attack civilians? You lunatics, even so, don't let us surrender!" President Jose Figueroa Alqueta roared angrily.

    The Chilean ambassador to Argentina returned without success, but this also led to the tragedy in Buenos Aires.  After defeating the main force of the Argentine Navy, the main force of the Chilean Navy sailed towards the mouth of the La Plate River.  They will destroy the remaining ships of the Argentine Navy and force Argentina to surrender!

    Chile declared war on Argentina, and this news once again caused an uproar around the world.  Everyone knows that behind this is the competition between China and France and the United States.  However, most countries have condemned Argentina's despicable act of undeclared war.  But that's all.  There is no way they would travel long distances to fight Chile for Argentina, not even France behind Argentina.  Not to mention that Chile is backed by China!

    At three o¡¯clock in the afternoon on October 25th, the Chilean Navy entered the mouth of the La Plate River.  In order to preserve its strength, the Argentine Navy has already ordered its remaining light cruisers and destroyers to move to Brazil.

    That afternoon, the Chilean government once again issued an ultimatum to Argentina, demanding that Argentina surrender.  However, Argentine President Jose Figueroa Alqueta refused to surrender and had a very tough attitude.

    In order to force Argentina to surrender, Chile issued an order to bombard Buenos Aires!

    At five o'clock in the afternoon, four Santiago-class battleships lined up on the sea away from Buenos Aires, their thick muzzles aimed at the Argentine capital.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" High-explosive bombs flew towards Buenos Aires one after another, plunging the city into a sea of ??fire!
