Chapter 230 Nanhua Needs Wu Sangui (Third update, please subscribe)
"Notify the telegraph station immediately and stop all telegrams to the front!"
Without even having to think about it, Bernardo Riquelme knew what kind of crisis would arise once the news spread.
The bomb destroyed more than just the provisional government of Chillán.
The entire South was plunged into an unprecedented crisis. Without a ruling party or ministers, how could it resist the attack from the North in this situation?
"General, this must be Santiago's conspiracy!"
Colonel William said urgently.
"They will definitely take the opportunity to attack us. Perhaps, we should..."
"It's too late!"
Bernardo Riquelme said nervously.
"If it was done by Santiago, they would definitely spread the news everywhere. After the front line learned the news, they would most likely surrender..."
After thinking for a while, Bernardo Riquelme stopped his mount and said.
"I have to get back to Chillen now!"
"Yes, General. Now only you can save the current situation!"
No one could save the situation. Almost at the same time when Bernardo Riquelme received the telegram, news came from the front line that the provisional government and ministers had been attacked by a bomb during a meeting. Chilean spies who had been lurking in various places took the opportunity to lobby the officers to surrender.
Everything went as planned. Faced with the reality that the provisional government was "caught in one fell swoop", the generals and middle and senior officers on the front line all became more active in their thinking.
It has to be said that this "catch-all" bomb attack in Santiago was definitely a perfect "decapitation operation". After four years of civil war, with the surrender of officers one after another, the dawn of victory finally appeared.
In Santiago, when the news came, politicians and generals cheered for this great victory. When they learned that the spies of this operation, such as Alfred and Major Saniatu, were arrested, members of Congress came forward to threaten the South - if they dared to execute the Chilean heroes, Santiago would definitely hold them accountable. For them, victory seemed inevitable.
The war is about to end!
Even if Bernardo Riquelme puts up a desperate fight in Chillán, what can that do?
It also cannot affect the overall situation.
As Santiago cheered for victory and Bernardo Riquelme once again asked South China for help, Zhu Xianhai did not respond to his request for help. This was all in his plan.
After Qian Zizhuang came in, Zhu Xianhai walked up to him with a smile from the middle of the office.
"Ah, come in, Mingjie, it seems our plan is successful!"
"Yes, my lord. Now many people in Santiago are threatening Chillán and asking them to treat the arrested spies well. In the eyes of Santiago politicians, the spies who participated in the attack are heroes of the Chilean people!"
Qian Zizhuang laughed.
"This way, I don't think anyone will notice our presence!"
In fact, the investigation department was involved in the planning and implementation of this "surprise attack" in the eyes of the outside world. The Chileans were just "tools". It is reasonable for the "tools" to come forward and claim the reward.
"Keeping a low profile is the core of intelligence work."
Zhu Xianhai walked to a wine cabinet and took out a bottle of "Victory" brand liquor from it.
"Victory" brand liquor has a special meaning in Nanhua. Although it is cheap, it does not prevent it from becoming the most popular "national liquor" in Nanhua. Both high-ranking officials and peddlers will drink this cheap liquor.
"Have a drink! I think this is a victory worth celebrating."
"Thank you, my lord. This is indeed worth celebrating!"
Qian Zizhuang stood up and took the wine glass.
"It is worth celebrating, but in intelligence work, many victories worth celebrating are not made public, just like this incident. To the outside world, Gallio and his men are still our allies, but they are an obstacle to our occupation of Chile, so we have to get rid of them. If we do it ourselves, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble and cause dissatisfaction among some people, so we can only borrow the hands of others to do it!"
Glancing into the distance, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"Now the whole world knows that it was Santiago who planned the explosion and it has nothing to do with us, so what? The remaining question is simple! When will we accept Bernardo Riquelme's request and send our troops?"
In the past, Zhu Xianhai needed Wang Jingwei, but now he needs Wu Sangui.
"With Wu Sangui, who invited the wolf into the house, we can take over the whole of Chile. At the beginning, to the outside world, we are just the reinforcements invited by Wu Sangui and their allies. Once we occupy Santiago and the whole of Chile, I think we can turn Chile into one of our provinces!"
In fact, when it comes to conspiracy and trickery, the Chinese are indeed more skilled than the Europeans. For example, the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains under the banner of revenge for Chongzhen. What a deceptive banner, at least it deceived many gentry, and even the Southern Ming Dynasty was deceived.
In fact, even if some people see through the Qing Dynasty’s excuses, what does it matter?
This does not prevent those people from licking the Qing Dynasty's boots. Why? In the final analysis, isn't it all for power?
that power!
Zhu Xianhai doesn't mind sharing some power with Chile's dignitaries.
Occupation and sharing like this is beneficial, at least it can reduce resistance and reduce the cost of occupation.
"It would be more convenient if Wu Sangui led the way, but it is also possible that the tail would be too big to be removed."
Qian Zizhuang said tentatively.
"Can't the tail fall off?"
Zhu Xianhai nodded in agreement.
"That's a possibility, but as we all know, the Spanish once defeated Napoleon with guerrilla warfare. Believe me, the Chilean resistance will continue, too. There will be attacks, and accidents... Accidents are always everywhere!"
Holding a wine glass in his hand, while discussing the accident, Zhu Xianhai did not consider that Bernardo Riquelme was his cheap brother-in-law. This is the nature of power. Of course, if that guy is sensible, he does not mind letting him enjoy all the glory and wealth!
"I asked you to come here because of another matter,"
Zhu Xianhai continued,
"That is the resistance force after we occupied Chile. Did our people infiltrate it?"
Qian Zizhuang replied.
"They have already infiltrated, but they are of no use at the moment."
Nodding, Zhu Xianhai said.
"Well, that's good. What we need is to make arrangements in advance. This is also part of intelligence work. Only by making preparations in advance can we play an unexpected role in the future."
I have set up a book club: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
