Chapter 768： Work around

Seeing that the "guano war" is over, the Colombian government, which has suffered no delusion, does not want to continue.

The British on the sea were kings and fell to bronze instantly on land. Under the command of British instructors, the Colombian government army was defeated.

Including the troops being "misunderstood", the number of people killed in the Colombian government has exceeded 43,000.

Obviously, everyone can see that the Panamanian independent organization is only a small **** before the stage. Austria, which has not settled down, cannot win.

No doubt this is impossible. Colombia's strength is limited, and continuing to die will have no meaning except to increase casualties.

On April 7, 1883, the Colombian government issued an appeal for peace to the outside world, and invited the four major British and French columns to emphasize the cessation of this "civil war."

Austria is also one of the mediation countries, and this is the rule of the game.

On the surface, Austria did not participate in the war. As the strongest country on the Caribbean coast, Austria is eligible to become a mediator.

If the United States does not split, they will also be one of the mediators. Forget it now, Americans who have split up haven't entered the big clubs.

...

An invitation to mediate in Colombia has been sent. The need for a truce has become a new topic of debate in the Vienna government.

Colonial Minister Stephen: "The situation in Colombia is very good for us, and the Panamanian Independent Organization has the upper hand on the battlefield.

The insurgents occupied all of Colombia's coastal cities, controlled a quarter of the country's territory, half of its population, and nearly 60% of its economy, less than 100 kilometers from the capital Bogota.

The occupation of Colombia is only a matter of time and it is a pity to give up now. "

Foreign Minister Weissenberg objected: "It's not that simple. If we do occupy the Republic of Colombia, we will become public enemies of South America.

That is not the core of our strategy, there is no need to get stuck in it. Now that we have obtained the Panama region, it is the best choice to accept it when you see it. "

Colonial Minister Stephen disagreed: "What is there to fear?

South American countries have limited strength and are in conflict with each other. It is simply impossible to unite because of Colombia's problems.

At the very least, it is temporarily isolated. South American countries will not really take the lead in Colombia, and it will be done. "

This is the fact that the combined South America can also make Austria jealous of three points, and a scattered South American Austria does not bother them, it is God blessed.

Even if the rabbit died, the fox did not dare to touch the tiger's brow. As long as it does not involve self-interest, many people will be selectively deaf.

Weissenberg shook his head: "We can really do that without the British.

Unfortunately, the South American region is a British economic colony, and the London government will not watch us expand there.

Some South American countries led by others are not so good at dealing with loose sand.

Even if we can hold Colombia militarily, we will suffer heavy losses politically and economically.

Greed is the original sin, and we are at a critical moment in our globalization strategy. Any bold move can have catastrophic consequences. "

The annexation of Colombia was never within Franz's plan.

It can be seen from the vest banner that the "Panama Independent Organization" is clearly aimed at the Panama region.

It ’s just that the plan has n’t changed quickly. I do n’t know if the following aristocracy is too good to fight, or if the Colombian government is too wasteful, it has hit the current situation.

Franz interrupted: "Negotiate first. If the Colombian government is willing to make concessions, the war will end as soon as possible.

Right now, the Near East region is important. As long as the Panama region is won, a little more or less in other regions will be fine. "

This is determined by interests. The era of colonial expansion has ended and Austria's strategic focus has returned to the world island.

In Franz's view, Colombia was a chicken rib after the Panamanian region was eliminated.

Don't talk about the future. The country and people are the same. Both must live in the present.

The premise of chasing the future is to have a future. If it falls halfway, it will be nothing.

For details, please refer to Emperor Sui Yang, "gong in the present age, benefit in the Qianqiu" harvest is the ruin of the country, and comes with the name of "Tyrant", which has a long history.

The lessons of the seniors must be learned. I am so happy that it will die.

...

With the start of the Colombian civil war negotiations, the international situation has gradually eased.

The British wanted to ease relations with other countries and temporarily gave up tossing; the French were powerless, and Napoleon IV was still fighting in the country's insurgents; Russia and Austria were both busy with Ottomans and had no troubles.

If the Near East War is still going on, world peace can be declared.

...

Baghdad, this ancient city once again ushers in the baptism of war. The sound of artillery sounded, countless shells were fired on the city, without any trace of muddy water.

Coalition Middle East Theater Command, Admiral Morques is worrying about how to overcome Baghdad at the least cost.

There is no way, since the enemy's conditional surrender has been rejected, resistance has intensified.

Breaking through the city defense is easy, Austrian artillery can easily complete the task, the trouble is the next street fight, if you are not careful, you will lose heavy.

The most effective way of traditional siege is to cut off water and food.

Baghdad is only more than 30 kilometers from the Euphrates River. The population of the city is not as large as that of future generations. It can basically meet the demand by relying on groundwater.

The long-term siege was a good choice. Unfortunately, the country is worried about the night long dreams and has ordered the end of the war as soon as possible.

A young military officer suggested enthusiastically: "Her commander, should we poison the city?"

Obviously, "poisoning" is not an ordinary poison. In recent years, chemical technology has been limited, and large-scale production of poisons has not been possible.

The poisoning tactics adopted in the siege are actually plagues. This toxin is simple to make, and the dead body is the best material.

It's just that the sequelae is very serious, hurting people and hurting themselves. Because of the war, there have been two small-scale plagues in the Middle East theater.

The Ottomans can persist until now, and actually have the credit for the plague.

After pondering for a while, Morx shook his head: "No, the aftermath is too big. In case of disengagement, the consequences are unthinkable."

The young officer argued: "No, the consequences are within our control.

According to the "Land Fallow Law" promulgated by the government, the situation in the Baghdad region has been completely fallow for twenty years.

Even if the situation is out of control, the post-war ...

Before he finished speaking, Admiral Morques interrupted: "Sammons, you're out of control.

Remember that soldiers must have a bottom line, unless absolutely necessary, this extreme means must not be used.

Our personal reputation does not matter, but Austria is a civilized country, and we cannot take the reputation of the country to risk. "

After a pause, what seemed to come to mind, Admiral Morks ordered: "Order the troops to release the siege and let the airship spread leaflets in the sky.

Tell the garrison that I guarantee with my family reputation: let them go and allow them to carry weapons and personal belongings, but only three days.

We leave now, wherever they go, we will not block. "

Sammons' words reminded Morx from the side that this is Baghdad, and the defenders in the city are mostly Iraqi.

In the Ottoman Empire, they also belong to the oppressed people. At the moment of life and death, these people will not bury the Ottoman Empire.

The garrison sent forward to negotiate is sufficient to illustrate the problem. It was only because of the order of the coalition command that Admiral Morques ignored this.

Failure to negotiate with these people does not mean that they cannot be released. Small modifications on the battlefield are still possible.
