    "Your Excellency, Chile has launched an attack on Argentina. They have won a decisive victory in the naval battle. I am afraid that the land war will begin soon. According to the intelligence analysis we have obtained, we can conclude that the Argentine Army is not the Chilean Army at all."  opponent. Without external help, Argentina can persist for up to three months!" Ambassador Zachary said!

    "Three months? How is that possible?" President Alfonso Pena couldn't help but exclaimed.  Argentina is also one of the big countries in South America, and its strength is on par with Chile.  But now Zachary says that Argentina can only last three months, which makes him very unbelievable!

    "Your Excellency, this is the truth. Although Argentina also has an army of 400,000, and has already begun mobilization! However, compared with the Chilean Army, there is still a big gap between the Argentine Army and the Chilean Army. What's more, now that the Chilean Army has accepted the mission from China,  After being trained by their officers and equipped with Chinese standard weapons, their combat effectiveness is extremely powerful! Therefore, it is simply impossible for the Argentine Army to withstand the advance of the Chilean Army!" said Ambassador Zachary.

    Alfonso = President Pena was silent. He already knew the purpose of Ambassador Zachary's visit.

    But, if Brazil participates in the war, will it definitely win?  Alfonso = President Pena is worried that he will get into trouble when the time comes.  Apart from anything else, it is the threat from the Chilean navy that Brazil cannot solve now.  Therefore, Brazil must carefully consider whether to declare war on Chile.

    "In addition, there is another news that I need to tell you. According to the news from our people in Chile, the command of Chile's army and navy has been handed over to the officer corps from China! That is to say, although the Chilean army is nominally commanded  The army and navy are still being fought by Chilean generals, but in fact all orders come from the Chinese officer corps. Since the Chileans are willing to hand over the command of the army to others, it is obvious that they are already determined to win the war this time.  You are convinced! Mr. President, do you still think Argentina can withstand Chile's attack?" A confident smile appeared on Ambassador Zachary's face!

    "Your Excellency, Ambassador, what if Chile can defeat Argentina? Brazil is not Argentina. Just because Chile can defeat Argentina does not mean that they dare to launch a war against Brazil!" President Alfonso Pena said proudly.  As the president of the most powerful country in South America, he does have this qualification.  Compared with Argentina, Brazil is a behemoth. Even if Chile defeats Argentina, if it wants to go to war with Brazil, it may have to think carefully!

    "Your Excellency, in the past, Chile may not have had the confidence to go to war with Brazil. But don't forget that now Chile has the support of the Chinese. With the support of the Chinese, Chile's war potential has increased to a level that is enough to make Brazil  We have to face up to our level. Moreover, the Chilean army armed by the Chinese has no chance of defeating Brazil!" Ambassador Zachary warned.

    Alfonso = President Pena was silent. He had to admit that the possibility mentioned by Ambassador Zachary did exist!  With China's support, Chile's ambitions will probably not stop in Argentina.  Even if Chile will not declare war on Brazil now, Chile, which has gained huge benefits in Argentina, will pose a huge threat to Brazil's security.  Once Chile digests the huge benefits gained, they are likely to take risks and launch an attack on Brazil.  By then, Brazil will be facing an even more dangerous situation!

    "Your Excellency, do you have anything to worry about now? Perhaps the United States can give you some help!" Ambassador Zachary asked.  After he analyzed so many reasons, he believed that President Alfonso Pena would definitely understand what kind of threat it would bring to Brazil if he did not join Argentina in resisting Chile.  But now President Alfonso Pena has not made a decision, which proves that President Alfonso Pena has some scruples!

    "Your Excellency Ambassador, our troops are still scattered in the country. Weapons, ammunition, food, military uniforms and even carriages for transporting supplies are not ready yet! We cannot participate in the war now!" Alfonso = President Pena euphemistically said  Said!

    "Your Excellency, it doesn't matter. In order to protect peace in the Americas, the United States will provide help to Brazil. If Brazil participates in the war against Chile, we can provide Brazil with the equipment of ten infantry divisions free of charge. If the war lasts too long,  If so, we can also provide equipment to your country at low prices!" Ambassador Zachary said!

    "The equipment of ten infantry divisions? Your Excellency, Ambassador, is this too little? You have said before that the Chilean Army has received training from the Chinese Army and its combat power has greatly increased. Then we must invest at least hundreds of thousands of troops. Ten  Each division has too little equipment!" President Alfonso Pena said!

    Hearing President Alfonso Pena say this, Ambassador Zachary felt happy.  As long as A Fang??=Pena is willing to negotiate terms, this is the best!  If President Alfonso Pena is absolutely unwilling to talk, that would be a big problem!

    "Your Excellency, we can talk about specific assistance later! As long as Brazil is willing to participate in the war, nothing is a problem!" Ambassador Zachary said!  This time, his mission is to persuade Brazil to join the war. If he succeeds, it will definitely be a great achievement for him!

    "Your Excellency Ambassador, even so, Brazil cannot be easily involved in the war. The most important issue has not yet been resolved!" President Alfonso Pena said.

    "What's the problem?" Ambassador Zachary asked quickly!

    "Navy! The Chilean navy is too powerful. They easily defeated the Argentine navy today. Our Brazilian navy cannot fight against them. If the navy cannot win, then Brazil's long coastline will become an attack target for the Chileans.  Especially all our big cities, almost all of which are by the sea! If the Chileans bombarded Rio de Janeiro like they bombarded Buenos Aires, we would pay a heavy price! Therefore, before ensuring the safety of coastal cities, we are  I won¡¯t get involved in the war!¡± President Alfonso Pena replied!

    "Your Excellency, there is already a solution to this problem! Our navy has moved south from the Caribbean! Although, from the standpoint of the United States, we will not directly attack the Chilean navy, but as long as our navy appears on the battlefield, for  As far as the Chilean Navy is concerned, it is a kind of deterrent! If necessary, you can issue a warning to the Chilean Navy. Although this will not help you win the naval battle, it will still be no problem in protecting the security of the Brazilian coastline. If you are worried about the Chilean Navy shelling the Brazilian coast  If it's a city, our warships can even temporarily dock in these cities! In this case, the President will no longer worry!" Ambassador Zachary said!

    Alfonso = President Pena¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. If the United States can support Brazil in this way, then the biggest problem facing Brazil has indeed been solved!  From Brazil's standpoint, it certainly doesn't want to see Chile defeat Argentina.  The reason why they are unwilling to get involved in the war is simply that they cannot guarantee their own safety.  Since the United States is willing to help, Brazil has nothing to worry about!

    "Well, Ambassador Zachary, if the U.S. government can do it, we in Brazil are very willing to restore peace to South America. However, our country hopes that the U.S. government can provide Brazil with the equipment of twenty infantry divisions free of charge. At the same time,  , providing an interest-free loan of US$100 million to Brazil. It will definitely cost a lot of money to fight this war, and Brazil's finances cannot support it!" President Alfonso Pena said.

    "Your Excellency, I need to ask the country for instructions! I will give you a definite answer before tomorrow afternoon!" Ambassador Zachary said!

    "Okay, Ambassador!" President Alfonso Pena nodded.  He is also very clear about America's thoughts.  However, Brazil and the United States have the same goal in containing the rise of South America.  In this case, since the United States is willing to provide money and weapons, Brazil is naturally willing to provide people to deal with Chile together!

    Ambassador Zachary left the Presidential Palace and returned to the embassy, ??and immediately contacted the country.  Even though it was already early in the morning, after receiving Ambassador Zachary's telegram, President Theodore Roosevelt immediately convened a cabinet meeting.  A few years ago, three years ago, the United States once again suffered a defeat in Mexico, which made all Americans even more hostile to China.  And now, given the opportunity to cause trouble for China, the United States will certainly not let it go.

    After a short discussion, the U.S. government also fully accepted the conditions proposed by Brazilian President Alfonso Pena and provided Brazil with equipment for twenty light infantry divisions and an interest-free loan of US$100 million. At the same time, in the Caribbean  The U.S. fleet, which was operating at sea, also set off immediately to go south to protect the Brazilian coastline from attack by the Chilean navy!

    The next morning, the U.S. Ambassador to Brazil Zachary came to the U.S. Embassy and informed President Alfonso Pena of the U.S. decision.

    Alfonso = President Pena was also very excited and immediately asked his secretary to summon the cabinet members.

    At the meeting, President Alfonso Pena informed everyone of the agreement reached with the United States.  Brazilian cabinet members are very satisfied with the help the United States can provide to Brazil.  They also know the threat Chile poses to Brazil, and now is their best chance to stifle Chile.  At the meeting, almost all cabinet members voted in favor of Brazil declaring war on Chile!

    At 11 a.m., the Brazilian ambassador to Chile submitted a declaration of war to Chile, and Brazil officially joined the war!
