The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 221 High-level Satisfied Battle Situation

The Republic of Guatemala has turned its offensive war into a war of attrition. Except for the dissatisfaction of the officers and soldiers in Guatemala, both the British and the president of the Republic of Guatemala feel very good.

Even Yuri felt that it was okay to fight like this.

Anyway, those who died were all native soldiers, or native soldiers recruited from the newly occupied areas.

Domingo didn't recruit everyone. If he was a serf who had just dropped his hoe and couldn't even fire a gun, Domingo was not qualified to be recruited and used as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Therefore, the Vanguard Legion actually absorbed the stragglers who had been defeated before, mercenary gangs from various places, and the disbanded troops of the original Viceroyalty of New Spain.

Although these people's fighting qualities are mediocre, at least they can shoot when they see blood, which is many times better than serfs.

Because of this, the Vanguard Corps was able to withstand the huge casualties on the front line, while continuously replenishing recruits for the missing troops that were withdrawn and reorganized, while maintaining their basic combat effectiveness.

Since the Pioneer Legion mainly stayed in the fortifications during the war, the requirements for soldiers were lower, and Domingo also adopted the supervising team system, so even if a large number of supplementary troops were brought to the front, it would rarely lead to organizational collapse. signs.

Of course, the most important reason why the Vanguard Corps can persist for so long is that the army of the Republic of Guatemala on the opposite side is too poor...

The continuous bloodshed and sacrifices have caused the size of the army of the expanding Republic of Guatemala to decline at a very steady rate. You must know that in the uncivilized Republic of Guatemala, there is no pension for soldiers who die in battle.

It would be even worse if the soldiers were disabled, and they would be forced to retire and then go home to eat the old...

Those who join the army are all from poor families. It is difficult to fill the stomachs of normal people on weekdays, let alone raising a disabled person?

The reason why the Republic of Guatemala was able to pull up such a large army was because there were too many poor people and former slaves who had just been freed. The second sons of these families joined the army in the Republic of Guatemala in order to reduce the burden of rations at home. Soldiers eat food.

Although the army of the Republic of Guatemala has no military pay, if they go to the front line, they will get a wartime allowance. The amount is very small, but at least it can be sent home.

And their food in the army is much better than at home.

Because of this, soldiers of the Army of the Republic of Guatemala would rather die than be injured on the front line. Many disabled soldiers would beg their colleagues to give themselves a happy...

Because they know very well in their hearts that once they are sent home as disabled people, it will only give their family members a difficult choice, and at the same time, they will suffer from guilt for the rest of their lives.

This is why the frontline of the Republic of Guatemala has not been very successful, but the death toll has remained high.

If it weren't for the president of the Republic of Guatemala, who was as ruthless as Yuri and sent his own pro-guard army to supervise the battle team, it is estimated that the Army of the Republic of Guatemala, which was killed by the front-line refueling tactics, would have deserted on a large scale.

Offensive and defensive battles are different from field battles. Deserters have little chance of success in offensive and defensive battles.

The battlefield is so big, and the attacking route is fixed. The supervisory team sealed a few openings. Apart from pretending to be dead on the battlefield, deserters have nowhere to go...

What's more, this era is all about dense charging formations. Soldiers gather together to attack the enemy's lines. Soldiers who dare to turn around may be shot by their direct superiors without even seeing the shadow of the supervising team.

In this way, the President of the Republic of Guatemala gradually became more comfortable as he watched the size of the army decrease, military expenditures decrease day by day, and the American Empire was suppressed within the defense line and unable to attack.

The British are also very satisfied to see that the Republic of Guatemala drags the energy of the American Empire here to bloodlet the American Empire every day, and they can give the London government a good answer.

Domingo watched the Vanguard Corps continue to be beaten in bloody battles day by day, and the proportion of veterans was getting higher and higher. He devoted himself to recruiting and building his own strong army.

Yuri, on the other hand, recruited all the beauties of his harem to Mexico City, and kept an eye on the battle situation on the front line while holding a naked meeting, without any urgency.

It is much easier for Yuri to have cannon fodder like the Vanguard Legion in the front. Even if the enemy achieves a breakthrough at a certain point, it is impossible to tear the entire line of defense in a short time. Yuri can go to break through calmly. Tap to annihilate the enemy army with the Summon Legion.

After all, the defense line that can break through the Vanguard Corps is either the enemy's elite or a large number of enemy troops, which is worth Yuri's shot.

The high-level leaders of both warring parties and even the third party are very satisfied with this meat grinder, but the only ones who are dissatisfied are the officers and soldiers on the front line of the war.

The low-level soldiers staying at the front line seem to be living in a nightmare. Every morning when they open their eyes, they have to face endless shells, enemies that can never be killed, and lead bullets that will fly over without knowing where they are. own life...

In many cases, they even had to engage in fierce head-to-head hand-to-hand combat with strange faces they didn't know at all. Even if they didn't want to kill each other, in order to survive, they could only desperately put the bayonet into each other's chest.

This war was stunned to be a tragic battle that would only appear on the European battlefield!

At the same time, the President of the Republic of Guatemala resolutely stated in front of the United Kingdom that he would fight to the end, and at the same time sent an emissary to Mexico City to negotiate with the American Empire.

Obviously, the secret envoy from the Republic of Guatemala could not see Yuri, who was immersed in the tenderness, and could only negotiate with the diplomatic department of the American Empire.

It's a pity that Yuri's condition is to annex Central America, turning the Republic of Guatemala into the province of Guatemala...

At most, as the governor of New Spain was installed at the beginning, the President of Guatemala was given the position of army commander, allowing him to integrate the surrendered troops of the Republic of Guatemala and continue to expand the territory of the American Empire.

This is obviously intolerable to the President of Guatemala!
As for the conditions proposed by the Republic of Guatemala, they are very simple. They can be summed up in two words - peace!
The President of the Republic of Guatemala has never thought of invading the American Empire, at least he would not have such an idea when Yuri was alive, and at Yuri's age, the middle-aged President of Guatemala would most likely not survive Yuri... …

Therefore, in the face of Yuri's American Empire, the President of the Republic of Guatemala wants to be an 'ambassador of peace' from the bottom of his heart.

He is even willing to surrender his country status to the American Empire as a vassal state.

Of course, it is a nominal vassal state, and the military and political power is still in the hands of the Republic of Guatemala.
