    ¡öBuenos Aires is the capital of Argentina. It is located at the mouth of the La Plate River. It has a pleasant climate and fertile soil. It is the third largest city in South America and is home to about 20% of the entire population of Argentina.  , has always been the political, economic and cultural center of Argentina.  But now, Buenos Aires has suffered a devastating blow!  After Argentine President Jos¨¦ Figueroa Arqueta refused to surrender to Chile on behalf of the Argentine government, the Chilean Navy shelled this beautiful city!

    A high-explosive bomb with a caliber of 343 mm weighs nearly half a ton.  The high explosives loaded inside are very powerful.  Four Santiago-class battleships lined up in a row, constantly pouring artillery shells on Buenos Aires.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Orange-red fireballs rose in the urban area of ??Buenos Aires. In the explosion, buildings were destroyed one after another, the streets became ruins, and Argentines fled in all directions.  , all those affected by the shells suffered numerous casualties.  The power of the 343mm naval gun is amazing, and there are almost no buildings in Buenos Aires that can withstand its power.  This afternoon was a disaster for Argentines living in Buenos Aires!

    "Oh God! Is this the end of the world?" Many Argentinians were overwhelmed by the sudden disaster. When the disaster happened, they seemed so helpless.

    The president and cabinet members of the Argentine government were all stunned.

    They never expected that the Chilean Navy would really dare to attack Buenos Aires.  Originally, they thought this was just a threat from the Chileans, but now, the threat has become a fact.  After they rejected the Chileans' request, the Chilean Navy immediately launched an attack!

    "Your Excellency, Buenos Aires is very dangerous, you must leave immediately!" The chief of guard of the presidential palace came to President Jose Figueroa Alqueta and said to him!

    ¡°Damn it, I won¡¯t leave, I¡¯m going to save my people!¡± Jose Figueroa Alqueta said.  He suddenly realized what a big mistake it was not to evacuate the residents of Buenos Aires immediately after rejecting the Chileans' request!

    "Your Excellency, the officials below will do the evacuation of the residents. You must leave immediately! The Chilean shells are getting closer and closer to the presidential palace. Argentina still needs your leadership to continue fighting the Chileans! For  For future victory and revenge for the dead people, please leave!" The secretary of the Presidential Palace also suggested.

    Jose = Figueroa = President Alqueta hesitated for a while, but still followed their advice and left Buenos Aires under the protection of the guards of the presidential palace.  The small town of Mercedes is 70 kilometers west.  Other cabinet members of the government also evacuated here.  The residents of Buenos Aires also fled their homes one after another!

    The Chilean Navy's attack on Buenos Aires did not last long. It ended in less than half an hour. The damage caused to Buenos Aires was not very great. In total, it only caused about  Just ten thousand people died.  However, this has left an indelible shadow in the hearts of Argentinians.  Moreover, it caused a huge blow to the morale of the Argentine army.

    That night, Argentine President Jos¨¦ Figueroa Alqueta gave a speech, condemning the Chilean Navy's massacre of civilians and announcing to all Argentines that Argentina would not surrender to Chile and would continue to fight.  ¡¤Until the final victory is achieved!  However, this kind of empty speech alone cannot improve low morale.  Now many people already know that Argentina's navy has suffered a disastrous defeat. This will make Argentina's coastal cities become targets of attack by Chile.  Once the Chileans really decide to launch a crazy attack on Argentina, then even if they can win the war in the end, I am afraid that the most elite area of ??Argentina will become a scorched earth!

    The reason why Chilean President Herman Lesco Errazuriz agreed to the naval attack on Argentine cities was to force Argentina to surrender, so as to avoid a land war.  If the war can be won by relying solely on the navy, this would naturally be the best!  But now it seems that Chile's hopes are about to be dashed, as Argentina simply won't do this.

    The Chilean navy¡¯s shelling of the Argentine capital also aroused strong reactions from countries around the world.  France first jumped out and accused the Chilean Navy of firing on civilians.  Countries such as the United States, Britain and Russia also followed suit.  This has set off a wave of opposition to Chile throughout the Western world, and Chilean embassies abroad have become targets of attacks by some radical elements.  France even announced it was severing diplomatic relations with Chile.  However, Chile paid no attention to all this from the outside world.  Chile¡¯s current largest export and import country is China, and China¡¯sIf we support it, even if other countries isolate Chile, it will not have any impact on Chile!  In response to the accusations from various countries, Chile only issued a brief statement, claiming that it was just a friendly attack.  The Chilean Navy was launching an attack on Argentine military targets!

    However, now that Argentina does not surrender, this makes it more difficult for Chile. If it wants to defeat Argentina, launching a land war is inevitable!

    "Now, the Argentine government refuses to surrender and says it will fight us to the end. What should we do?" In the Chilean presidential palace, Chilean President Errazuriz convened an emergency meeting.  The navy had won a great victory before, which made them very excited, which meant that the war could come to an end.  But I didn't expect that Argentina would still be determined to fight!

    "Your Excellency, it seems now that land war is inevitable! The naval battle has been won, and I think the army can also win!" said Army Secretary Claire.  The navy won, which made him very envious!

    "General Yang? What do you think?" President Errazuris asked.  If he had some doubts about China taking over the command of the Chilean army before, now, the navy's results have convinced him that China will bring victory to Chile!

    "The Chilean Army has also been preparing for several years. Although we will suffer certain losses in a land war, the final victory will definitely be ours! Now before Brazil joins the war, we will defeat the Argentine Army first. By then, even if Brazil  When we intervene in the war, we can also take advantage.

    I will come up with a battle plan as soon as possible.  In addition, the navy must also be prepared. Once Brazil intervenes in the war, the navy will go north to deal with the Brazilian navy and attack major Brazilian cities such as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo!  Lieutenant General Yang Ming said.

    "Well, just do what General Yang said! All departments must cooperate closely to ensure the victory of this war!" President Errazuris said with high spirits. The navy's victory allowed him to see the key to victory in the war.  hope.  As long as Chile can win this war, then Chile's rise to become a South American power is a sure thing!  And he will also become the most outstanding president of Chile!  This honor made him very fascinated!

    The sudden outbreak of war between Chile and Argentina in Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, shocked Brazil.  Brazil and Argentina were allies decades ago when they jointly launched a war against Paraguay, killing millions of Paraguayans.  Now Chile poses a threat to both countries, and Brazil and Argentina are getting closer.  However, the Brazilian government did not expect that the war would break out in this way at this time!

    After Chile declared war on Argentina, the Argentine ambassador to Brazil immediately visited Brazilian Foreign Minister Mullen and made a request for assistance to Brazil on behalf of the Argentine government.

    Brazilian President Alfonso Pena also immediately convened a cabinet meeting to discuss how to deal with the current situation!

    "According to the information we received, the Argentine navy has been defeated. After one of the four battleships was sunk, the remaining three surrendered to the Chileans after being severely damaged! The Chileans are despicable and shameless towards Argentina.  Declaring war, they have already been prepared. This time, I think it will be difficult for Argentina to resist Chile's attack!" Brazilian Navy Minister Nelson said.

    "No way! Although the Argentine navy was defeated, the army did not suffer losses. The Argentine army has 400,000 people. If it is mobilized, it can be expanded to hundreds of people at most. Although the Chilean army has 400,000 people, it is almost  This is their limit. I don¡¯t think Argentina will be defeated soon!¡± Army Minister Patrick expressed his opinion!

    "Hmph! Don't forget that the Chilean Army has received training from the Chinese. Their weapons and equipment are also the standard equipment of the Chinese Army. The combat power of the Chinese Army is well known to the world. Even if the Chilean Army is not as terrifying as the Chinese Army,  But the combat effectiveness is definitely not bad!" Nelson reminded.

    Sure enough, after Nelson pointed this out, the faces of the cabinet members participating in the meeting became a little unnatural!  The strength of the Chinese army is enough to scare everyone.  Everyone knows that China has sent a corps of military officers to Chile to train the Chilean army.  It is precisely for this reason that Brazil and Argentina turned to the United States and France respectively, and did not ease relations with China.  Even if the Chilean Army is far inferior to the Chinese Army, I'm afraid it won't be a big problem to defeat the Argentine Army.  This forces Brazil to consider its position?  To remain neutral?  Or unite with Argentina to declare war on Chile?
