1909, January 23, 6:00.
In La Paz, the de facto capital of Bolivia, in a room outside the city, a group of people were planning a shocking action.
"Carter, are Sucre ready?
According to the plan, at 8:00 this morning, Sucre, the legal capital, announced on time that they would join us in Brazil. There will be no accidents! ? "
A middle-aged man with an extremely ordinary appearance determined the action plan for this time in front of a young man with an obvious Indian appearance.
Faced with another question from Director McGrady, Carter answered confidently.
"Director McGrady, don't worry, Sucre is ready.
Bolivia, after all, is still a country where Indians and Indians are the majority. These white Spanish people, who account for less than 15% of the total population, are simply foreign powers and internal cadres.
The Indians here are very envious of our Brazil. In Brazil, everyone has the opportunity to rise.
In Bolivia, the Indians never got ahead. "
"Carter, I believe in you. You are the ace agent of our Golden Gun Bureau. Your abilities will not let me down.
This time, the king personally deployed the operation. He was watching us. The success or failure of this time was related to the future of our Golden Gun Bureau, and I had to follow up. "
The Golden Gun Bureau, one of the three major bureaus of the Security Bureau, is on the same level as the Golden Shield Bureau, which protects the country, and the Golden Sword Bureau, which inspects and collects taxes.
However, compared to the Golden Shield Bureau, which assists Wang Guofu in establishing reforms, and protects the country, and the Golden Sword Bureau, which targets violations of law and discipline, and provides tax protection, the Golden Gun Bureau can be said to be the weakest and least meritorious department of the Security Bureau.
Fisher, the director of the Golden Shield, and Anthony, the director of the Golden Sword, have always been very dissatisfied with the Golden Gun Bureau. The annual budget allocation of up to 100,000 pounds accounts for a large share of the 350,000 pounds annual allocation of the Security Bureau.
McGrady, as the director of the Golden Gun Bureau, was seriously lacking in confidence when facing two directors of the same level. After all, his department was really too weak when facing the two directors above him.
If it weren't for King Pedro III's continuous support, the budget of the Golden Gun Bureau would be limited to 50,000 pounds, or even less.
Fisher and Anthony have clamored more than once that the Golden Gun Bureau's ability and receiving 10,000 pounds is a charity, and more budget should be given to useful departments.
This time the operation to subvert Bolivia cannot fail, it can only succeed.
"Carter, don't think I'm being verbose or interfering with your operations. I take this operation very seriously and will personally supervise it to prevent you from making mistakes.
There is nothing we can do about it. Our operation can only succeed, not fail.
What's going on with our Golden Gun Bureau? As you know, if it fails, our department may be eliminated as a result. "
"Director, I understand the significance of this Operation Mountain Eagle."
Carter, of course, understood the importance of Operation Eagle, which overturned Bolivia and promoted Bolivia's integration into Brazil, to the Golden Gun.
This operation can only succeed, not fail!
As an outstanding operator of the Golden Gun Bureau, Carter knew that the Bureau was facing a major existential crisis.
His own department has been outnumbered by the other two colleagues in the Security Bureau, and he has been trying to destroy them and divide the huge budget that is left to them.
In order to annex Bolivia, the Golden Gun Bureau made arrangements very early.
Carter, with his elite team, has been infiltrating this country for almost three months. He knows the country of Bolivia very well and has already taken care of various places.
Bolivia is the only landlocked country in South America and the largest landlocked country.
The current population of this country is less than one million, with 14% Hispanic whites, 20% mestizo, and Indians such as Quechua and Aymara taking an absolute advantage.
Bolivia is bordered by five countries: Brazil, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay. The legal capital is Sucre, and the actual government seat is La Paz.
The country is dominated by plateau terrain, with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters, making it the country with the highest average altitude in the world. Among them, La Paz has an altitude of more than 3,600 meters, making it the highest capital city in the world.
This landlocked country in the middle of South America has developed slowly and is sparsely populated. History is extremely bleak. In wars with foreign countries, it has never won even a single victory.
Bolivia was part of the Inca Empire in the 13th century and became a Spanish colony in 1538. On August 6, 1825, it became independent after being rescued by Simon Bolivar, a hero from Caracas, Venezuela, so the country was named named after him
It formed a federation with Peru in 1836, but collapsed in 1839 due to the invasion of Chile. In 1863, rich saltpeter deposits were discovered in the Atacama province on the Pacific coast. In 1879, Chile sent troops to occupy the mining area, and Bolivia and Peru united to initiate the "Pacific War" with Chile. Bolivia was defeated in 1883 and ceded the saltpeter-rich Pacific coast to Chile in 1904. Bolivia lost its only coastal province, including the important port of Antofagasta, and has since become a landlocked country. However, Bolivia has always claimed sovereignty over this area and claimed that the 1904 treaty was invalid.
Little did Carter know that Bolivia would lose again.
In the future, Bolivia and Paraguay will fight for the oil resources in the Northern Chaco region and the Chaco War will break out in 1932. Bolivia will be defeated and lose a large area of territory.
In this country, Spanish whites have always controlled the upper echelons of the country. While wooing mixed-race people, they are also wary of mixed-race people. As for the Indians with a large population, they are strictly guarded against them and do not give them room for advancement.
In order to get rid of the conservative parties and to prevent the large Indian population around Sucre, the Spanish white people moved the capital to La Paz, a region with Lake Titicaca on the border with Peru.
I moved to La Paz not only because the land here is fertile, but also because it is a gathering place for white people. It is also very convenient to communicate with the white government of Peru.
Peru is also a country with a large number of Indians. There are also many Orientals in the country, and white people do not dominate.
Historically, Peru and Bolivia always kept each other warm and worked together, but unfortunately they were beaten twice by Chile.
The Golden Gun Bureau was established under the leadership of King Pedro III, who even personally provided training and technical guidance to the Golden Gun Bureau.
The king had very high expectations for this department, and he poured a large amount of resources into this department despite the arguments of the Golden Sword and the Golden Shield.
"Carter, this time is not only to prove ourselves, but also to prove that the king's support for us is not wrong."
This time, Operation Mountain Eagle is of great responsibility and significance to the Golden Shield Bureau.
“Bolivia, you also know this country.
A country with less than one million people is no different from Paraguay. It is not taken seriously by Western countries and has always been the weakling of South America.
This country has never won a battle against any South American country that came into contact with it. We in Brazil did not even defeat it, but let Bolivia obediently give us territory.
Accra State was something we captured easily without wasting a shot or a bullet. "
If it wants to annex Bolivia, Brazil doesn't actually need to engage in these conspiracies at all, it can just send troops to occupy it.
Bolivia, apart from its fellow sufferer Peru, and Brazil with the United Kingdom as its backing, this country will not expend much effort at all.
The reason why Tang Ning used the Golden Gun Bureau this time was to test this department.
"Carter, you actually know that too.
In fact, the king can conquer this country without ours. He only needs to send two divisions. There is no need to waste time and energy. Let us prepare for this operation.
This time, Operation Mountain Eagle is a test for us from the King.
If the test fails, I think you can also predict the outcome of our Golden Gun Bureau. Budget cuts are still light, and more serious, and most likely, the abolition of our department. "
Of course Carter knew that what the director did was not a joke, everything was true.
"Director, nothing goes wrong this time.
There are not only us in La Paz, but also Indians who are secretly controlled by us, and we even have secret contacts with some mixed-race officials.
The army in the capital has also been bribed by us. The army here is used to military coups. They just think that we are careerists in national power. As long as we give them enough money, they can ignore it.
As long as we occupy La Paz and control the government, and wait for the arrival of our allies, even if these troops have a conscience and want to resist, it will be of no avail. "
This time, Operation Mountain Eagle was arranged by the Golden Gun Bureau, and it was a solid plan with three plans.
Even if the temporary attack on La Paz fails, they who control the nominal capital Sucre still have the initiative and a large part of the say.
The Golden Shield Bureau is absolutely capable of slowly wearing down the La Paz government to death.
Maddie nodded with satisfaction and made final preparations.
"Okay, let brothers get ready and move on time at 6:30."
