The Sun Never Sets In Spain
Chapter 104: The Cuban War is over
On the other side, after many days of dealings, Marseio still failed to get the leadership of the three provinces.
However, several high-ranking officials did not do anything to him, just watched him run and contact him, trying to find supporters of the Republic.
Of course there are supporters of the Republic, including Olaer and others. However, the building of the Republic will fall, and it is obvious that emotions alone cannot be saved.
In particular, the main army was disintegrated in three days, and the capital Camaguey was surrounded.
The cruel reality made everyone lose the courage to save the Republic of Cuba.
Including Marseio had no ideas in this regard. He was originally dissatisfied with the government full of compromisers, and naturally did not want to save them even if President Desais had just helped him.
He just wanted to truly fight for Cuban independence.
But at this point, his goal was lowered and lowered again and again. Up to now, his extravagant desire is to maintain the de facto autonomy of the three eastern provinces and to exist as a republic of the Cuban colony.
For this he needs to unite Oller and their forces to fight for a decent peace.
He didn't know that it was this kind of thinking that caused him to be excluded from the provinces of Granma, Santiago, and Guantanamo. Until now, he has not been able to control any power.
The three provinces of the Northeast want to introduce a representative to negotiate terms with Spain, but this representative definitely cannot be a staunch independent person like Marseio.
On June 25, the Spanish army pressed the border and did not give them time to continue to rectify their internal affairs.
The number of recruits trained in the three eastern provinces is quite large, and more than 40,000 are not a small number wherever they are placed.
But their actual combat effectiveness is much lower than that of Camaguey's Republican forces, and their role may be limited to courage.
There are a lot of people in the army sharing a gun, and the funny thing about a 60-year-old grandfather going to the battlefield.
He was a recruit who had not been trained yet, suddenly pulled onto the battlefield without being given enough weapons, and his will to fight was not strong.
Asania had thought that the Carlos infantry he had fought against was already bad enough, but he didn't expect this army to be much better than them.
Carlos shouldn't have retreated to northern Spain. He should have come to Cuba directly by ship, and spent three months to wipe out all the opposition forces, and then work hard to develop and wait for one day to counterattack the mainland.
After discovering that the other party was collapsed in one place, Assania and Rajoy did not hesitate to pursue them vigorously, vowing to end the Cuban war within a week.
Before the real fight, people always don't have a clear understanding of their own strength.
The ruler of the top powers, Emperor Napoleon III, still couldn't understand his army, let alone some high-ranking officials in Cuba.
They thought they had so many people, even if they were tens of thousands of pigs, Spain would have to catch them for several days, right?
But they did not expect that pigs would not surrender and collapse into the establishment, but humans would.
In just two days, the Republic's soldiers were killed or injured more than 5000, and the number of routers was countless. The Spanish soldiers lost no more than 200 people.
Almost in the blink of an eye, there was only one bare provincial capital Bayamo left in the huge province of Grama.
Olaer and the others hurriedly sent people to beg for peace.
They no longer hope to fight for any autonomy power. Cuba has never been autonomy anyway, as long as they can preserve their family business.
Their industry is nothing more than sugar factories, coffee factories, cigar factories, manors...
Of course it is a lot of wealth in the personal view, but it is the same in Cuba as a whole.
Rajoy and Assania wanted to immediately agree to the terms of the counterparty, but still the same problem. The country did not give them the authorization to negotiate, only let them come to counter the rebellion, and did not talk about the other.
They were also uncertain about the thoughts of their superiors, as long as they succeeded in countering the rebellion, some unimportant minorities could be let go. I really want to catch them all and kill them all.
It’s okay if you don’t negotiate, and Spain will have to pay at least a few hundred or nearly a thousand more military lives. Asania and the others are a little bit reluctant.
Mainly it is unnecessary. Are these hundreds of soldiers not worth the value of those industries?
...
Alfonso is of course the second idea, otherwise he would not deny negotiation power.
Different from the noble wars in Europe, this kind of suppression of colonial uprising was of course serious and how it came to be, especially since he was preparing to make Cuba self-governing, it needed to leave a deep impression on the subsequent self-governing government.
As for the lives of hundreds of soldiers... I can only say that there are no undead in the war. If Cuba becomes independent again, more people will die.
It is better to destroy the roots of the Cuban uprising all at once.
However, Asania and the others did not know the king's thoughts. After a night of discussion, he and Rajoy agreed that as long as the rebellion succeeds, other details can be ignored.
So the next day they agreed to the terms of the messenger, urging the other party to quickly start the army reception process.
...
"So you understand, run." In Santiago, Olaer sighed and said to Marseio.
The quarrel between the two is a bit rigid and it is just a matter of position. He still respects Marseio, a superior who used to take good care of him politically, and a "national hero" in Cuba.
Now that the other party has agreed to their terms, there is no need to betray Marseio, so he persuaded the other party to leave quickly.
"Spain can let go of a small character like ours, you, the second-ranked character of the Republic, will undoubtedly die if caught, so let's go quickly."
Seeing Marseio indifferent, Olaer was a little anxious:
"You can't fight guerrillas by staying here. Gerardo of Holguin has taken over the management of several provinces with sophisticated methods. In addition, Spain has indeed changed its temperament this time. Now guerrillas have no popular basis."
Seeing Marseio looking up at him with a loose expression on his expression, Oler heaved a sigh of relief: "The Spanish restraint can only be restrained for a while. When the Cubans see their true colors again, you will come back to lead the uprising!"
It is not easy to persuade Marseio. In history, the Republic of Cuba and Spain signed the "Tibet-Hong Kong Treaty", which stopped the struggle, but Marseio refused to admit this result and fought until the team completely collapsed.
Marseio left, he took the boat prepared by Olaer to the United States, but he will be back soon. His trip to the United States this time is just a mere shelter from the wind.
Unlike capitalists and manor owners such as Desais and Oller, Marseio was born as a commoner and could not be mixed up in the United States. Only in Cuba can he find his value.
