Seeing the end of the "Bird Manure War", the Colombian government that suffered the indiscriminate disaster did not want to continue fighting.

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

Counting the “misunderstanding” that killed the troops, the war has now killed more than 43,000 people in the Colombian government.

Obviously everyone can see that the independent Panamanian organization is just a small pawn pushed to the stage, and it is simply impossible to win without tying Austria behind the scenes.

There is no doubt that this cannot be done.Colombia's strength is limited. Continuing to die will not make any sense except to increase casualties.

On April 7, 1883, the Colombian government issued a call for peace to the outside world, and invited the four major columns of Anglo-French theo to stop this "civil war".

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

On the bright side, Austria did not participate in this 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.Even now, the separated Americans have not entered the power club.

...

An invitation to mediate in Colombia was sent, and whether or not a truce has become a new controversial topic in the Vienna government.

Colonial Minister Stephen: "The situation in Colombia is very beneficial to us, and the independent Panamanian organization has the upper hand on the battlefield.

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

It is only a matter of time before occupation of Colombia is a pity now."

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

That is not the core of our strategy, and there is no need to fall into it. Since we have already obtained the Panama area, we just accept it when we see it."

Colonial Minister Stephen disagreed and said, "What's so scary about this?

The countries of South America have limited power and conflicts with each other. It is impossible to unite because of the problems of Colombia.

At the most, it was temporarily isolated. The countries of South America would not really come to Colombia, and the differentiation would be over."

This is a fact. The combined South America can also make Austria feel terrified by three points. It is God's blessing that a deserted South American Austria will not trouble them.

Even if the rabbit is dead, the fox is afraid 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: "If there are no British people, we can really do this.

Unfortunately, South America is an economic colony of the British, and the London government will not watch us expand locally.

The South American countries led by some people are not as good as a loose sand.

Even if we are able to defend Colombia militarily, we will lose a lot politically and economically.

Greed is the original sin. We are at a critical moment in the globalization strategy. Any rash action can lead to disastrous consequences."

The annexation of Colombia was not within the scope of Franz ’s plan.

As can be seen from the flag of the vest, the "Panama Independent Organization" is obviously only aimed at the Panama area.

It's just that the plan hasn't changed quickly. I don't know if the gang of nobles below is too good, or that the Colombian government is too wasteful, and it has actually hit the current situation.

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

It is still important for the Near East at the moment, as long as you have won the Panama area, it is okay to have a little more or less interest in other areas."

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

In Franz's view, after excluding Panama, Colombia is a chicken rib.

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

The premise of chasing the future is that there is a future. If it is halfway down, nothing will happen.

For details, you can refer to Emperor Sui Yang, "The merits are in the contemporary era, and the benefits are in the ages", but the country's ruined family is harvested, and the name of the "tyrant" that is famous throughout the ages is attached.

The experience and lessons of the seniors must be learned.I ’m so happy, it ’s going to 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 struggled with the rebels in the country; both Russia and Austria were busy beating Ottoman and had no intention of tossing.

Unless the Near East War continues, world peace can be declared.

...

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

The Allied Command in the Middle East Theater, Admiral Moores, is worrying about how to conquer Baghdad at the least cost.

There is no way, since the rejection of the enemy's conditional surrender, resistance has become fierce.

It is easy to break through the city defense, Austrian artillery can easily complete the task, the trouble is that the next street battle, you will lose a lot if you are not careful.

In the traditional way of siege, the most effective way is to cut off water and grain.

Baghdad is just over 30 kilometers away from the Euphrates River. The city ’s population is not as large as that of future generations. Relying on groundwater can basically meet the demand.

The original long-term siege was a good choice, but unfortunately the country is worried about nights and dreams, and has ordered to end the war as soon as possible.

A young officer said enthusiastically: "His Commander, shall we poison the city?"

"Poisoning" is obviously not the delivery of ordinary poisons. Chemical technology has been limited this year, and mass destruction poisons have not yet been produced.

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

It's just that the sequelae are very serious, hurting others and ourselves.Because of the war, two small-scale plagues have occurred in the Middle East theater.

The Ottomans have been able to persevere until now, and actually have credit for the plague.

After pondering for a moment, Moores shook his head: "No, the aftereffects are too great. If you get out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable."

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

According to the "Land Fallow Law" promulgated by the government, the situation in the Baghdad area has not been excessive for two decades.

Even if the situation is out of control, it ’s no big deal after the war ... "

Before he finished talking, Admiral Moores interrupted: "Sammons, you are in a state of disarray.

Remember that soldiers must have a bottom line, and unless it is a last resort, they must never use such extreme means.

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

After a pause, it seemed that he had thought of something. Admiral Moores ordered: "Order the troops to let go of the siege and let the airship spread the leaflets in the sky.

Tell the defending army that I guarantee with the reputation of the family: let them leave and allow them to carry weapons and personal belongings, but only three days.

Those who leave now, no matter where they go, we will not stop."

The words of Sammons remind Moorex from the side, this is Baghdad, and the defenders in the city are mostly Iraqis.

In the Ottoman Empire, they also belong to the oppressed people. At the juncture of life and death, these people will not be buried with the Ottoman Empire.

Negotiations by the defenders in the front are enough to explain the problem.But because of the orders of the coalition command, Admiral Moores ignored this.

Failure to negotiate with these people does not mean that they cannot be left.There are still some minor changes on the battlefield.
