Chapter 644： Pacific War breaks out (2/2)

Franz was very hesitant to intervene in this South American war. The main problem is investment and return. He is not sure if the final result will be proportional.

Austria's strength in South America is limited, and relying only on the strength of Austrian South America, Austria is not qualified to interfere at all.

As for the military forces of Austrian and Central America, the same cannot be done lightly, or the North American balance will be broken. Without sufficient deterrence, no one can guarantee that the United States and the Union Congress will not take the opportunity to do things.

It is certainly not worth the risk for the South American War. Franz was clearly distinguished from the major and minor, and the Americans were threatened to become bigger. Chile was not worth mentioning at all.

Want climate, unless Chile can annex Argentina. This is obviously impossible, and apart from the fact that the powers agree or disagree, Argentina itself is not weaker than them.

After hesitating for a moment, Franz made the decision: ”Let's wait and see, and before it harms our interests, stay neutral for the time being.”

This is the safest approach. Austria's interest in South America is not big enough, and it is not worth the cost.

Even if it was to interfere, it was being asked to interfere instead of delivering it to the door.

Once small country nationalism rises, there is a common problem that it is easy to lose self-knowledge.

No one would appreciate it until they had a victory or defeat and ran to interfere in advance.

...

It is not just Austria that chose to wait and see, but Britain and France also chose to wait and see.

South American countries have many contradictions, and this war between Chile and Bolivia may even trigger a South American melee.

Intervening in advance will obviously fall into a passive state. Even if the powers are wrong, even the powers will suffer heavy losses.

Not to mention, a commodity market is gone. Under normal circumstances, the small South American countries have no confidence to say no to the big countries, but in case someone supports them, they may not.

...

Bolivia. Since the outbreak of war with Chile, President Ilario Dassa has been bad for himself.

Unlike domestic enthusiastic nationalists, as a national leader, Ilarión Dasa still knows himself.

Militaryly, Bolivia is indeed not Chile's opponent. This is just one of them, and the lack of international support in Bolivia.

This is not his responsibility. Bolivia has not yet entered the era of democracy. The so-called government elections are essentially all controlled by military Cordillo behind the scenes.

The people behind the scenes want to play a balance between the powers, and the government that was launched is naturally unable to refuse. However, this diplomatic balance is not fun, and Ilario Dasa has no control.

Now that the war has broken out, there is no country among the big powers and they clearly support them.

You know, from the standpoint of bystanders of this era, this is the first Chilean invasion of Bolivia.

Under normal circumstances, public opinion should be sympathetic to the victims. In this context, everyone will at least verbally condemn Chile's military invasion.

However, Bolivia's diplomatic balance failed only a few years ago, and the governments of Britain, France and Austria are still resentful. Internationally, the Bolivian government has been unrelenting in recent years.

At present, the three major countries have not stated their positions, and other countries have nothing to do with themselves. Naturally, they will not risk offending the big hooligan and uphold justice for Bolivia.

President Ilario Dasa: ”Dear everyone, the war has broken out. This war is related to the national movement of Bolivia, and we cannot afford to lose.

Once defeated, we will not only lose the most important source of money-saltpeter ore; but we will also lose the most important estuary and become a landlocked country.

For the great Republic of Bolivia, I hope that everyone will make every effort to win this war. ”

Minister of Foreign Affairs Preta Gul: ”His President, the problems on the battlefield must be solved by the military. In addition to doing our logistical work, we can only find solutions from outside the battlefield.

In order to increase our odds in this war, I propose to temporarily join Peru, which is as contradictory as Chile, to fight the Chileans together. ”

There is no way. In this country where the warlords are powerful, even if Preta Gul knows that Bolivia is not Chile's opponent, he dare not say it directly, but can only perform art processing and beautify it as much as possible.

President Ilario Dasa nodded: ”Well, this proposal is good. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send someone to contact the Peruvian government as soon as possible. As long as their conditions are not excessive, they can agree first. We now need our allies.

Any other suggestions? ”
