Of course, the so-called conflict was not the one that happened a few days ago, but another conflict between Chile and Argentina over a decade ago.
In fact, throughout the 100-year histories of both countries, numerous conflicts have occurred between them, even escalating to several small-scale wars.
For Chile and Argentina, two countries with balanced powers, it was impossible not to have conflicts.
Both countries have great ambitions, and as the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Unless there is a strong external enemy to suppress them, or the balance between the two countries is broken, such conflicts will continue.
"Edward Montalvo? Your father was Pablo Montalva?" The commander suddenly showed interest and asked curiously.
"Yes, sir, do you know my father?" Edward Montalvo said, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, Pablo was my comrade-in-arms a decade ago. If he hadn't had an accident, he would be at least a Lieutenant by now, right?" The commander sighed slightly with nostalgia and said.
Because Chile has not experienced large-scale wars in recent years, military promotions have been relatively slow.
However, if Edward Montalvo's father, Pablo Montalva, were still alive and serving in the military, he could at least hold a company-level position.
If Pablo were still alive, Edward Montalvo could have had a better future, perhaps even the opportunity to attend a military academy, rather than starting as an ordinary soldier in the military.
After being the patrol squad leader, Edward Montalvo would have the power to command his soldiers, using a larger number of personnel and resources to achieve his goal.
"Alright, Squad Leader Edward, take your soldiers and execute your mission! I will report your promotion, and it should be official in about half a month's time." The commander looked at the excited Edward Montalvo, smiled, and said.
"By the way, I am Lucas Fontaine, the Company Commander of the Second Platoon of the First Regiment of Border Garrison Division II. If you have any problems, you can also find me at my barracks, as I'll be here during this time." Finally, the commander smiled at Edward Montalvo and added.
"Yes, Commander Lucas!" Edward Montalvo responded without hesitation and decisively.
Edward Montalvo's patrol squad belonged to the Second Platoon of the First Regiment of Border Garrison Division II.
What does this mean? His father's old comrade-in-arms was his superior's superior, which was great news for Edward Montalvo. As long as he can grasp this opportunity, he might even surpass his father's achievements.
It should be known that the current situation is extremely chaotic. If one could take advantage of military achievements to progress further, it would be much faster than relying solely on experience.
Edward Montalvo's father strictly trained him from a young age to become an excellent soldier, inherit his father's legacy, and serve his country.
Watching Edward Montalvo take his soldiers and head towards their base, Lucas Fontaine finally turned his gaze backward. He looked coldly at the western forest at the foot of the mountain reported by Edward Montalvo and waved his hand: "Let's go, find those damned Argentinians and eliminate them!"
Encountering his old comrade's son once again reminded Lucas Fontaine of the conflicts that had erupted between his country and Argentina since he joined the military.
