“Ah, this……”

Faced with the invitation from Ribbentrop, President Mendes was a little undecided.

Just now, Ribbentrop, on behalf of the Third Reich, invited him and Colombia to invite the Colombian army to formally participate in the war against the Eagle Sauce.

The reason for such an invitation is that when the Colombian army sent troops to the Panama Canal to drive away the US troops in the canal zone, it had already had a direct military conflict with the Eagle Sauce.

And in the subsequent battle, with the help of intelligence provided by the German army, the Colombian navy successfully intercepted the fleet of the Eagle Sauce army that was trying to escape!

Many ships in this fleet were sunk, and the remaining ships that were not sunk and the soldiers on them were also prisoners of Colombia.

These prisoners were all Eagle Sauce soldiers, and Colombia suddenly sent troops to attack Eagle Sauce without declaring war, which was equivalent to declaring war on Eagle Sauce, so even if Colombia did not choose to participate in the military action against Eagle Sauce next, Eagle Sauce was unlikely to let them go!

If the Eagle Sauce makes major concessions and suddenly reaches a peace agreement with the Third Reich, then as soon as the German troops withdraw, the Eagle Sauce will immediately turn its guns on them.

Although Colombia is a very powerful country in South America, their hard power is still not worth mentioning in front of the Eagle Sauce, so once the Eagle Sauce gets serious, they will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Eagle Sauce.

Instead of waiting passively like this, it is better to take the initiative and take advantage of the opportunity of the German army fighting with the Eagle Sauce on the battlefield to send troops to assist the German army in capturing the outer strongholds of the Eagle Sauce and accelerate the defeat of the Eagle Sauce. This is an effective way for Colombia to eliminate hidden dangers!

So from this perspective, Ribbentrop’s invitation is more or less attractive.

Moreover, the German army did not propose to invite them to participate in the war in the Eagle Sauce mainland, but asked them to focus on the Eagle Sauce colonies in the Caribbean.

These colonies belong to the Eagle Sauce control and can be regarded as the Eagle Sauce territory, but compared with the Eagle Sauce mainland, the military strength of these regions is very weak, and after the German army won the Battle of the Atlantic and cut off the connection between the Eagle Sauce mainland and these islands, there is almost no risk for Columbia to send troops to attack here!

The Eagle Sauce is too busy to send troops to the sea to reinforce these colonies, and they do not have many troops in these colonies.

There may be some local troops composed of local people in the colonies, but the combat effectiveness of these troops is generally weak. It is obviously impossible to expect them to fight against the government forces of Columbia, so the main opponent of Columbia is actually the Eagle Sauce’s own troops stationed in these colonies.

And these troops are not many in number, because if Columbia sends a sufficient number of troops to fight, they are still likely to win this battle!

In fact, Hans’s request is not high, as long as they send 10,000 troops to go on the expedition.

According to Ribbentrop, if 100,000 troops were to go out and land on the beach under the cover of the German navy, as long as they landed smoothly, victory would be easy!

However, for the Third Reich, it might not be difficult to mobilize 100,000 troops. After all, the German standing army had expanded to nearly 4 million people at this time. 100,000 was just two armies, not even half an army group, so it was naturally nothing.

But for Colombia, their population was only 15 million, and their standing army was only 300,000. It was their limit to withdraw 100,000 from 300,000 people, especially when they had to divide the army to guard against the dangerous neighboring countries around them. It was quite difficult to dispatch 100,000 troops!

Therefore, President Mendes was a little undecided for a while.

He originally hoped to hide behind, let the German army block bullets for them in front, and he could just harvest the fruits of victory in peace.

However, now that the Third Reich has made this matter clear, it proves that their previous gameplay will not work.

The Third Reich’s invitation was actually forcing them to express their stance. If they didn’t, there would be no subsequent negotiations. If the negotiations didn’t go through, they wouldn’t be able to gain any benefits from the Third Reich.

And if things went wrong, let alone benefits, they might even be threatened militarily by the Third Reich.

So Mendes was in a dilemma after hearing Ribbentrop’s words. He didn’t refuse to send troops, but he felt that 100,000 people were too many, and he didn’t dare to refuse in person because it would most likely anger the Third Reich.

So he didn’t know what choice he should make!

“How about it, have you thought about it?”

Ribbentrop didn’t care whether the other party had any difficulties or not. In his opinion, asking the other party to send only 100,000 troops was obviously too cheap for the other party. After all, according to Himmler’s intelligence, Colombia was the largest military power in South America, so sending 100,000 troops was not a piece of cake.

If they couldn’t even meet this requirement, then they naturally had no reason to obtain the cooperation and support of the Third Reich!

“Well, this matter is of great importance. I cannot make a decision on my own. This matter needs to be submitted to the parliament for deliberation. I wonder if Mr. Foreign Minister can extend the deadline for a few more days to facilitate our discussion?”

Mendes did not dare to refuse directly, nor did he dare to agree directly, so he found an excuse and planned to drag it out.

Ribbentrop did not care. If the other party wanted to discuss, let him discuss it.

“Well, in that case, I will fly to Argentina tomorrow to visit Argentina!”

Ribbentrop shrugged and said indifferently.

Colombia is not the only partner in South America. In fact, in addition to Colombia, the Third Reich has two other cooperative countries.

One of these two countries is Argentina in South America. They are also strong, and they are not on good terms with Samba in the north. If they are wooed to restrict or even contain Samba, I believe they will be very happy. In addition to Argentina, Mexico in Central and South America is also a good choice.

Mexico’s area, population and strength are top in Central and South America, and this country borders the Eagle Sauce. As long as the German army defeats the Eagle Sauce and takes over the land in North America, they can become neighbors with Mexico.
