After the war broke out that year, Peru and Chile first competed at sea. After all, bird droppings on the island were also the focus of competition. In the early stages of the war, Chile made a strategic decision and the Peruvian navy once had the upper hand.

But then the Chilean army then took steps and won a series of victories. In the critical battle of Dolores, the Chilean army defeated the main army of Peru with fewer defeats the main army of Peru. When the Bolivian general Tong led his army back to the country, it was considered a serious trick of his ally Peru. At this point, the entire Tarapaca area was controlled by Chile.

News of the defeat of the army of Bolivia and Peru came back to the country, public opinion was in an uproar and the situation was in turmoil.

The Peruvian general tong was even driven out of state, and the opposition came to power and reorganized its forces to resist Chile.

In order to protect Arica on the Peruvian border and Takna, Bo and Peru to the north, they organized emergency troops to resist.

However, the Borussia coalition was defeated by the secret forces, Chile captured Takna, and the Borussia army was forced to retreat to the land and withdrew from the war. It ran away twice in succession, which was equivalent to two blows behind the allies.

The Peruvian jun was disintegrated, and then Chilean troops captured the port of Arica, guarded by Peru.

By this time, Peru and Bolivia had basically lost the main production areas of saltpeter and bird droppings.

Later, Britain, France, the United States, Italy and other countries came forward to mediate, but the warring countries refused to compromise, and the negotiations broke down. Then the Chilean army took advantage of the victory to pursue and successively captured the places of Chincha and the capital of Lima, and looted and burned, destroyed, stole precious oil paintings, and even transported the books of the Lima Library and animals in the zoo.

After Chile occupied Lima, it supported two puppet governments. Finally, under the control of the Chileans, Peru signed a treaty that was humiliating and humiliating. After losing the war, it would have to cede land and pay compensation, which was in exchange for the Chileans to withdraw troops from Lima.

The outbreak of this "Saltpe War" has left the situation in South America in a long-term tense situation. Since then, Chile, as the victorious country, has almost monopolized all its saltpeter resources and has become the only natural saltpeter exporter and the largest saltpeter exporter.

On the other hand, with the territory plundered in the war, Chile's international status has also been greatly improved, becoming a South American power that stands alongside Argentina and Brazil.

Until the 1930s, under the mediation of the more shameless Americans, Chile and Peru signed a treaty, Peru recovered Takna Province, Arica ceded to Chile, Chile paid Peru $6 million as compensation, and the two sides redefine the border.

Bolivia lost its estuary and became a veritable landlocked country, and another country where the naval commander will never be able to take up his post.

In more than 130 years since the end of the war, Bolivia has never given up on requesting an estuary. Its relations with Chile have been difficult to improve due to the "estuary issue", and the two countries even broke off diplomatic relations for a time.

In order to regain the sea outlet, Bolivia has been putting pressure on Chile on international occasions, but there has never been any substantial progress.

A few years ago, Bolivia Hia formally sued Chile with the International Court of Justice, demanding negotiations with the latter on solving the issue of seaports, but the Chilean ZF refused to handle the issue by the Hague National Court, which triggered continued confrontation between the two countries.

So far, I have not seen any solution. Anyway, I just want to do whatever I want.

Peru, which was sandwiched in the middle, didn't want to help. To outsiders, this might be the best choice, but under Yang Cheng's interpretation, this strategy changed its flavor.

"Mr. Jose, I think you should know more than me about your country's humiliation history. Bolivia is the most popular country. I have done something like stabbing in the back. I don't know how many times I have done it. I think you need to be prepared.

They and Chile are having a very stalemate over the issue of seaports. Don’t you worry about the outbreak of the second ‘Saltpeter War’?

This will implicate Peru?

Even if Peru is willing to be a good friend, I am afraid the two families are unwilling to appreciate it. More importantly, the three countries have intersected soil and any bullets of any family may fall onto the border of Peru at any time. By then, the war will spread to Peru, forcing you to participate in the war.

In my opinion, it is better to prepare early than to catch yourself off guard."

Another "potential new star" who is about to be fooled is rising, and he is still a member of parliament!

The expression on Jose's face can be described as mixed feelings. He not only thinks what Yang Cheng said makes sense, but also feels a little ridiculous and instinctively resisting.

The left face says "Impossible" and the right face says "What if"?

At this time, Yang Cheng said something that everyone felt right after hearing it, "I think no one would think it is wrong to take a step back and maintain a balance of military power with neighboring countries, right?"

Jose and Sanchez nodded at the same time.

"Now the Peruvian Army's main battle tank is still a classic T55 from the former Soviet Union in the last century.

Of course, I am not saying that the T55 is not good. Its excellent maneuverability was a revolutionary design at that time. Its suspension system performance was excellent and reliable, making the T-55 effortlessly crossing mountains and rivers. It has the advantages of simple structure, easy to operate, low cost, good armor and easy to use and repair.

No matter from any point of view, the T55 is worthy of the classic, but in this era, it is a bit outdated.

Today, when emphasizing stealth performance and faster and stronger, Peru needs a more powerful main battle tank to deal with increasingly tense neighboring relations.”

Jose spread his hands helplessly, "Actually, if you don't say we have a plan to replace the main battle tank~"

Yang Cheng said happily, "That's great, is there a goal? Maybe I can help!"

Jose hesitated for a moment, "We naturally tend toward polar bear products. After all, we have used the T55 for decades and are familiar with them from top to bottom. If we rashly change products from other countries, there will be training and adaptability problems."

Yang Cheng immediately said, "How about T90?"

The Soviet Union has always been a crazy tank kingdom. Since the 1930s, the Soviet Union's tank production has been in tens of thousands. There have even been a single model of T26 tanks that produced more than 20,000 and T34 tanks that produced more than 80,000 later. However, in the minds of many people, the Soviet tanks are actually large in number and poor in quality, which is equivalent to technically miserable women on the street. Don't choose any appearance or figure, let alone romanticism. The biggest feature is that they are cheap!
