The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 224 The Opportunity to Break the Deadlock

In Yuri's eyes, a nation is nothing more than a unified country where everyone speaks the same language and writes the same script, and it is best to be unified in terms of customs and culture...

Of course, unity in customs and culture is difficult to achieve, but religion can!
In fact, the effect of religious unity is similar to that of cultural unity. Although they all believe in God, the internal factions are different.

There are essential differences between the Protestant Catholic Church in the American Empire and the traditional Roman Catholic Church. The most obvious one is that Yuri does not recognize the Roman Pope as the human spokesperson of God.

In the same way, the Orthodox Church also believes in God, but does not recognize the Pope of Rome. The Orthodox Church is the split of the Russians, that is, the current Russian ruling class, from the traditional Roman Catholicism.

This is why Yuri wants to impose religious coercion on the people in the newly occupied area.

After all, the Kingdom of Spain is an old-fashioned Roman Catholic faith, and they naturally promoted Roman Catholicism in the colonies. For hundreds of years, except for the Indians who had not been domesticated, they basically converted to Roman Catholicism.

After occupying the territory of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, in addition to the unity of language and writing, the most important thing is the sect of religion.

Fortunately, the vast majority of civilians in this era are illiterate, and it is difficult to distinguish the difference between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. As long as they believe in God, it is still very easy to convert.

This made it much easier for the American Empire to annex Spanish colonies.

In the Governor's Mansion in Mexico City, Yuri looked at the information that was just presented, and smiled involuntarily at the corner of his mouth.

He still doesn't know how to break the stalemate in this war of attrition, and he didn't expect such a big gift from South America!
The above information is clearly the exact news of the establishment of the Republic of Colombia!

Although the Republic of Colombia did not recover the entire territory, it actually established an independent country, which shows that the surrounding Spanish colonial troops were defeated!

Obviously, the British played off again. They didn't expect that as soon as their support stopped, the Spaniards, who already had an absolute advantage, collapsed again...

The Kingdom of Spain really cannot be supported by mud...

Because of the establishment of the Republic of Colombia, the London government's evaluation of the national strength of the Kingdom of Spain has dropped again and again!
British spies can figure out what the army of the Republic of Colombia looks like. On the European continent, this is a pure cannon fodder force, which is inferior to the National Guard of the First French Republic.

Anyway, the morale of the National Guard is high!
On the other hand, the troops of the Republic of Colombia are useless except for the large number of mobs!
More than half of the army is still using cold weapons!

There are only a handful of artillery, and they are all outdated old ones. How did this kind of army defeat the Spaniards?
The answer is simple. The founder of the Republic of Colombia was originally a general in the Spanish colonial army, a white general!

The ones who really defeated the Spanish colonial government were actually troops composed of Spaniards...

Of course, this white general sat on the throne of the President of the Republic of Colombia...

The revolutionary ideas in South America mainly come from the French Revolution, so the establishment of a republic is the basic operation to win the hearts of the people. The people in South America have had enough of the feudal hierarchy and yearn for a republic where everyone is equal and free.

Even if this republic is just a name!
This is just like in the 21st century, most countries promote freedom, democracy, and equality, but when you grow up, you will know that these three words are shouted out to others, and they are beautiful dreams that can never be realized...

The Republic of this era is undoubtedly darker. To put it bluntly, it is a warlord politics. The president also serves as the supreme commander-in-chief of the country and holds the most capable troops in the entire country.

More than half of the army of the Republic of Colombia is using cold weapons, and [-]% of the remaining troops with guns are direct descendants of the President of Colombia...

In fact, the main opponent of the Republic of Colombia after independence is still the Spanish colonial government. After all, the Republic of Colombia has not liberated the entire territory.

However, the founding site of the Republic of Colombia is just next to the Republic of Guatemala in Central America, and the two countries directly border each other!
In the international community, national threats cannot be resolved by treaties. The total military strength of the Republic of Colombia has reached 10,000+. Even though the government of the Republic of Colombia has stated that it will not take action against the Republic of Guatemala, can the President of the Republic of Guatemala sleep peacefully?
That is a country with 10,000+ troops, and there are elite troops that can defeat the Spanish colonial army!
We must be on guard against others, and the originally safe southern border suddenly became dangerous.

After all, it is impossible for the British to guarantee that the Republic of Colombia will not be stabbed in the back. The British have always supported the Spanish colonial government!

For the Republic of Colombia, the United Kingdom is also an enemy, but the United Kingdom is too powerful for the Republic of Colombia to dare to provoke.

But not daring to provoke the British does not mean not daring to confront the Republic of Guatemala.

God knows if the Republic of Colombia will take action against the Republic of Guatemala.

We all know how poor the national reputation of this warlord-style revolutionary army is!

Therefore, even though the British repeatedly patted their chests and assured them, the President of the Republic of Guatemala still divided the main force into tens of thousands of people and went to the southern defense line.

This is not cannon fodder used to fight a war of attrition, but the main force established by the President of the Republic of Guatemala when he started. Even if the combat effectiveness will inevitably decline in the follow-up military expansion, it is not comparable to the cannon fodder force.

Without these tens of thousands of people, it means that the Republic of Guatemala will lose the stamina to attack the American Empire.

This is exactly what Yuri expected!
Wasn't the reason why he didn't make a move because he was worried that after he appeared on one front, the main force of the Republic of Guatemala would storm the other front?

Less than a month after the news came, Yuri mobilized the elite of two full-staffed divisions of the Imperial Army to launch a counterattack.

In just one day, a gap was made in the thin Guatemalan cannon fodder troops on the opposite side.

If it was before the division of the Republic of Guatemala, the President of the Republic of Guatemala with sufficient troops would use half of the main force in the rear to intercept Napoleon's two divisions of the Imperial Army.

When Yuri appears, the other half of the main force of the Republic of Guatemala will break through from other directions. If Yuri does not appear, the Imperial Army will be blocked back.

However, the main force of the President of the Republic of Guatemala is currently limited. If it is sent to intercept Napoleon, the Republic of Guatemala will not have a second force to break through...
