Chapter 329: Death of the President (Second update, please subscribe)

"Sir, why did you agree to keep them neutral? Why did they occupy Viedma and Kason at the beginning of the war? Because Nanhua is very close to those places, so they did this. When the war is over, they will definitely not retreat from that area!"

After Fox left, Santiago Delqui asked with some confusion.

"Derki, we all know that no one will spit out the meat in their mouths, and the same is true for Nanhua, but this is not important..."

Urquiza sneered.

"During the Paraguayan War, when Lopez's army invaded Argentina, my patriotism told me that I should put aside my personal differences with Mitre and fight against Lopez together. But what did we get in the end? We got nothing except betrayal!"

Perhaps because of Urquiza's overflowing patriotism, when Lopez invaded Argentina, he not only did not take the opportunity to join forces with him to attack Mitre as Lopez wished, but he even took the initiative to make a speech and sent troops to block Lopez's attack and defend Argentina. He also served as the commander of the Argentine army during the Paraguayan War.

But then what?

However, he was tricked by Mitre - he did not get even an inch of the Retre Ríos Province ceded by Paraguay, and Mitre re-established a province, a so-called central province of Xianzhong.

Having been tricked, Urquiza will certainly not go crazy again. It was only this one time that he suffered a loss.

"So, this time, our goal is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers!"

Urquiza said with a sneer.

"It won't be too late for us to leave when they are both badly beaten!"

As a politician, Urquiza made the best choice for himself. After Santiago Delqui left, Urquiza said to his son Urquiza Jr.

"Do you know why I failed?"

Faced with his father's question, little Urquiza shook his head.

"I'm not sure what you mean,"

"I have told you and everyone countless times that we must be brave and passionate and love our country, but in fact, as politicians, we need to be ruthless. Everything is a tool in the hands of politicians. Once we are restrained by a false reputation, failure will be waiting for us!"

Urquiza stood up and walked to the window, looking at the square quietly and said.

"When Lopez invaded Argentina, almost everyone thought this was our chance. If we joined forces with Lopez, Mitre would be doomed to fail. At that time, I chose the country, but what did we get? Nothing..."

Urquiza, who was standing by the window, had a slightly ferocious expression.

"We received nothing in return except the death of 10,000 men. That is the price of being a patriot..."

As Urquiza spoke, he did not notice that in a hotel room across the square, a customer was observing the government building through binoculars. On the table in front of him was a Remington Roller rifle, the most common military rifle in Argentina. Unlike ordinary rifles, it has a large telescopic sight.

"It's him!"

When he found the target was in front of the window, he put down the telescope and picked up the rifle. Leaning against the window, he aimed at the target person in military uniform through the sight. The sniper hiding by the window slowly adjusted his breathing, held the rifle, observed carefully for a moment, and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The recoil of the rifle caused the sniper's shoulders to pause. Through the scope he saw that the target person by the window had fallen down.

After the successful attack, the sniper did not stop at all. He slid down from the upstairs to the downstairs using a rope, and then left in a carriage in the chaos.

…

Urquiza is dead!

When Zhu Xianhai received the telegram, his expression was complicated.

In fact, he also has some good feelings towards Urquiza.

"I thank you for your help when I was in trouble, but as a patriot, I will never accept your occupation of the Pampas at any time! No patriotic Argentine will accept this!"

As early as two years ago, when Nanhua began to expand into the grassland on a large scale, Urquiza, who was fighting in Paraguay, wrote a letter to Zhu Xianhai. The content of the letter was very direct, telling Zhu Xianhai that their "alliance relationship" was over.

It was also that letter that made Zhu Xianhai understand why he stood on the side of Buenos Aires Province when Lopez invaded. That guy was a competent soldier, but definitely a clumsy politician. Therefore, he must die!

What a pity...

"Jinsong, draft a condolence message in my name and send it to the Paraná authorities, and also send a condolence message to Urquiza's wife in my personal name!"

Zhu Xianhai casually instructed Liu Baoyuan in front of him, thought for a while, and then said.

"In addition, we would like to issue a statement in the name of the company. We condemn all assassinations for political purposes!"

How did Urquiza die?

Zhu Xianhai knows it better than anyone else, but one thing is certain: someone has to take the blame.

No one is more suitable to take the blame than Buenos Aires.

In fact, in the Spanish-speaking regions of South America, the so-called "Caudillos" are very "straightforward and rude", just like Rosas, who was overthrown by Urquiza. In order to maintain his rule, he established a secret assassination team called "Mazaca" that specializes in assassinating political opponents.

Urquiza had done it, Mitre had done it, and Sarmiento must do it too.

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t do it, because someone else will do it for him, and he can just “find” some evidence in the future.

In fact, there was no need to find this evidence. After all, Sarmiento had already made a plan to assassinate Urquiza, and the plan even included his son.

Cut the grass at its roots!

Be direct!

In South America, political assassinations like this are endless, and everyone does it simply and crudely. Of course, this also makes this matter have a scapegoat.

"My lord, once Urquiza dies, the Confederation will definitely..."

Without waiting for Liu Baoyuan to finish his words, Zhu Xianhai shook his head and said.

"They won't stand on our side, but one thing is for sure, they won't stand on the side of Buenos Aires either. This gives us the opportunity to defeat them one by one!"

After a pause, Zhu Xianhai took a few steps back and forth on the grass and then spoke.

"Okay, they're almost mobilized, it's time to launch the attack!"
