Chapter 1307 – New Landscape of South Africa

As they destroyed the Dawson Dynasty army, the Brasilia Dynasty army also stopped their attacks on the east of the Indian Empire. Their frontline forces went from attacking to defending, defending their rewards from the war.

This allowed Indian Empire king Juarez to heave a sigh of relief.

Juarez was already prepared to go east after taking down Argentina to reclaim lost land.

Along with the fact that Great Xia had taken down the Columbia region and chased the Dawson Dynasty out of South America, he felt that the good times of the Indian Empire were about to arrive.

Reality proved that he was happy a little too early.

6th month, 15th day, the Brasilia Dynasty’s 300 thousand strong army suddenly went down south.

The huge army with an indomitable spirit used four days to conquer the entirety of Uruguay before crossing the Rio De la Plata to directly head for Buenos Aires.

Uruguay had been wiped out by the Spain Dynasty, having become a part of Argentina. Now, it was experiencing a change of hands once more. Additionally, Paraguay, which the Spain Dynasty had destroyed, had already fallen into the hands of the Indian Empire.

Along with the Brasilia army reaching the city, Argentina Provincial Governor Alexander was under a lot of pressure.

There were soldiers attacking in front and a pack of hungry wolves behind.

The Brasilia army did not show any courtesy and launched their attack the next day.

This time, the Spain army had no way out. Alexander was helpless, and he could only write a memorial to the king. He requested that they give up Argentina to protect the army.

After the successive battles, less than 120 thousand of the 200 thousand troops remained.

If they continued to fight, the entire army might be lost.

When Casillas received the report, although he was really unwilling, he could only agree while cursing out at the Dawson Dynasty.

In truth, when the Dawson Dynasty was prepared to withdraw their troops from the east front, the Argentina region was destined to be lost.

Along with the Dawson Dynasty losing the entire Columbia, Casillas had given up all hope.

He was withdrawing now because circumstances forced him to; currently, it was his only choice.

“Let’s allow the Brasilia Dynasty and the Indian Empire fight; I am done!” Casillas could only console himself like this.

Of course, if he knew that the Brasilia Dynasty had submitted to Great Xia, he probably would not think that.

6th month, 22nd day, 80 thousand Spain troops teleported away from Buenos Aires. As for the 40 thousand still on the frontlines, Alexander was not confident about saving them, so he could only abandon them viciously.

That afternoon, the Brasilia army occupied Buenos Aires and followed Ouyang Shuo’s instructions to sweep the nearby prefecture then stop.

They would leave the remaining land to the Indian Empire.

…

Indian Empire, Cusco City.

During these past few days, Juarez’s emotions had been like a rollercoaster, going up and down.

Just as he saw the light, news of the Brasilia army going down south struck. Before he recovered from that news, Uruguay fell into the Brasilia Dynasty’s hands.

Juarez immediately realized that Brasilia was about to kill steal, so he ordered the army to swiftly head for Buenos Aires. If they bumped into the Brasilia army, he would not mind fighting a battle.

However, before the army got into position, the Spanish people withdrew, allowing the Brasilia army to benefit and take down the city without much effort.

Juarez was so furious that he nearly vomited blood.

“We fought for so long and paid such a high price, yet the biggest piece of meat was stolen by the enemy.”

Juarez immediately ordered the army to continue toward Buenos Aires to take back the city. Anyways, the two dynasties were enemies, so there was no courtesy to be shown.

At that very moment, 6th month, 24th day, the Brasilia Dynasty officially announced their submission to Great Xia.

“F*ck!”

Juarez was so annoyed that he nearly exploded. Finally, he understood who the mastermind behind all of this was.

“To think that I treated you as an ally; you actually schemed against me”

Juarez felt like he was being played, and unhappiness toward Great Xia rose up in his heart. A crack appeared in their originally not too harmonious relationship.

However, anger was just anger, and he did not dare to do anything rash. He immediately ordered the frontline forces to stop their advance and go to sweep the other regions of Argentina.

The Brasilia Dynasty with Great Xia supporting them and a lone Brasilia Dynasty were two completely different concepts. Despite his confidence, Juarez did not dare to go to war with Great Xia.

If he did that, the Indian Empire would be left alone with no friends.

After the Darkness empire appeared, Great Xia was not the only affected party. Many enemies that were wiped out by the Indian Empire had also appeared on the Mu Continent.

Furthermore, the Mu Continent was closer to South America, so they posed a bigger threat to the Indian Empire.

During this period of time, if it were not for the Great Xia Pacific Squadron helping to patrol, who knows what the Darkness Squadron would have down to the Indian Empire’s west shoreline.

Just this matter alone meant that Juarez did not have the courage to flip against Great Xia.

Juarez had a lot of lent up frustration. Suddenly, someone reported that an envoy team from Great Xia had arrived to meet him.

Juarez took in a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said, “Invite them to the main hall; I’ll come right away.”

“Yes!”

Within the main hall of the palace, Juarez welcomed the Great Xia envoy.

…

4pm, after sending the Great Xia envoy away, Juarez’s expression was really complicated.

The envoy was sent to discuss South America matters, and the terms they raised were ones that Juarez could not reject.

First, Great Xia’s ambitions toward Argentina were limited to the areas that they had already occupied, and they had no plans for the remaining land.

This dispelled some of his misgivings and showed that Great Xia was not overly greedy.

Secondly, after taking control of the Brasilia Dynasty, Great Xia would unconditionally return the 10 odd cities on the east front and release the prisoners from the Indian Empire.

This was a sign of good faith.

When the 600 thousand strong Alliance Army attacked the east front, they had inflicted huge losses on the Indian Empire. Now, Great Xia was actually taking the initiative to return these cities to them, such kindness.

These two points alone appeased Juarez’s anger.

However, the terms that Great Xia tossed out were not limited to just that. They also included the term of helping the Indian Empire build an industrialization system. The Great Xia Bank was willing to loan them 20 million gold at low interest rates to help them rebuild the Indian Empire.

This was also a sizeable benefit.

After the large-scale war, the Indian Empire was riddled with holes and needed to rest up. However, all of this would require money, but the two firearm deals had basically squeezed their coffers dry.

The loan from the Great Xia Bank was a saving grace.

Of course, this was the first time the Great Xia Bank was participating in a global trade business, and they were using this chance to enter the Indian Empire financial market.

This 20 million gold in loans could be considered the brick that broke the door open.

Neither side suffered a loss.

This move implied Great Xia’s desire to strengthen their ally relationship and increase trading.

After this series of moves, Juarez put aside his anger; he could only stand back on the side of Great Xia and support them.

At this point, the South America Continent situation was basically stabilized.

After this battle, Great Xia not only controlled another crucial naval path and increased their ocean authority, but they also gained total control of South America. They had obtained a relatively stable overseas territory.

With this as their chips, Great Xia would have a certain decisive say in America matters, and they could help create obstacles for the Dawson Dynasty.

Following which, they had to run this fertile piece of land well.

As for merging with the Indian Empire and unifying South America, Ouyang Shuo did not have such thoughts. After the world entered the industrialization period, it was no longer about who held more land.

The key was their position and resources.

Their current land was enough to support Great Xia’s global strategy. There was no need to be greedy and crave their ally’s territory.

Even if they took it down, who knows how heavy a price they would have to pay. Managing it would also be difficult.

With Juarez’s management over these past few years, he had instilled Indian ideals through the entire territory, and their views were really stubborn.

Just thinking about trying to tame such a dynasty was a huge headache.

Hence, rather than wasting large amounts of resources to swallow them up, why not maintain the status quo and create a win-win situation? Anyways, as long as South America remained stable, Great Xia would benefit.

For these reasons, Ouyang Shuo was willing to take a huge step back to curb Juarez’s resentment.

Time was money.

The value of a stable South America to Great Xia could not be measured.
