Argentina and Brazil are rivals, which is normal.
From the perspective of realistic geopolitics, it is impossible for two neighboring big countries with similar strengths to have a good relationship.
From a historical perspective, it is even more so.
The feud between them started even before the two countries were formed.
In the seventeenth century, the Portuguese began to expand the territory of Brazil, hoping to control the other side of the Rio de la Plata, which was originally part of the Spanish colony of Argentina, the Sacramento District.
The dispute between Portugal and Spain continued into the 19th century, until the land finally belonged to what would become independent Uruguay.
The deepest conflict between the two countries is Uruguay.
In the early 16th century, the Spanish discovered the area on the east bank of the Uruguay River, but Spain did not effectively rule the area.
Later, the Portuguese also discovered it.
Since 1680, it has been continuously contested by Spain and Portugal.
Finally, in 1726, the Spanish defeated the Portuguese, and Uruguay became a Spanish colony.
The Spanish established the Montevideo military port here.
Later, Spain incorporated Uruguay into the Argentine predecessor of the Viceroyalty of La Plata, which was then called the "Eastern Bank of the Rio de la Plata".
In the early 19th century, Spain's national power declined and it was unable to maintain its colonial rule in the Americas.
Various Spanish colonies in Latin America began to seek independence.
In 1811, Jose Artigas led the Uruguayans in the War of Independence and took control of all of Uruguay in 1815.
But they were not happy for long.
The Portuguese invaded again in 1816, and in July 1821, the entire Uruguayan territory was annexed to Brazil and renamed the West Platinum Province.
In 1825, with the support of Argentina, Uruguay announced its separation from Brazil and merged with Argentina, renamed Uruguay, so Brazil declared war on Argentina.
At that time, due to the emergence of separatist movements in Argentina, the two sides had no choice but to sign a draft treaty in 1827, declaring that Uruguay would remain Brazilian territory.
But not long after, Argentina again used troops against Brazil.
Soon Brazil was driven away, but Argentina was unable to fight anymore, so the two sides signed a peace treaty in 1828, recognizing Uruguay as an independent country.
But neither country is satisfied with this result.
Argentina believes that Uruguay belongs to me, and these Brazilian guys are so unreasonable.
Brazil also believes that Uruguay belongs to them, and the Argentinian country bumpkins have no right to compete with them.
After that, both countries really started to control Uruguay and stumbling each other.
During this period, countless nasty things naturally happened, and the relationship became even worse.
In addition to practical interests and historical grievances, the people of the two countries also dislike each other.
Brazilians think that Argentinians are just a bunch of sissies, too effeminate, not manly at all.
A bunch of tomboys want to compete with us Brazil for territory, so go to hell.
The Argentinians think that the Brazilians are not noble enough.
They think that they are the white-skinned descendants of authentic European immigrants, who are quite tall and superior, while the Brazilians are the descendants of African slaves and Indians, and they are a bunch of mixed-race hybrids who look like idiots.
Similar.
The trigger this time was also due to the incident in Uruguay.
There was a coup in Uruguay this year and the pro-Argentina White Party came to power.
Brazil felt unhappy and intervened.
During the bickering process, the two sides somehow brought up old historical scores.
Brazil claimed that the bend of the Uruguay River, that is, the area east of Posadas, should belong to Brazil.
Well, this is mainly because the Brazilians are planning to build a hydropower station on the Uruguay River.
Brazilian engineers found that the place is just right, but it is in the hands of the Argentines, which is not good.
Why do those Argentinian transvestites want such a good place?
They might as well give it to us Brazilian men.
In fact, it’s really unclear where a lot of territory in South America belongs, especially in such bordering places.
Both parties are not stupid.
They know that it is useless to talk about this kind of thing.

If it is not clear, let's not talk about it.
If you have a game, you can decide who belongs.
To say that South America was not involved in the First World War, relying on orders from both warring parties, these countries lived a very comfortable life.
In particular, the three small powers of Brazil, Argentina and Chile have made a lot of war fortune.
Another important reason is China's miraculous rise.
China's rapid industrialization has made it the world's factory, but this requires a lot of resources.
And Wen Desi is notoriously stingy.
He buys and robs mineral resources whenever he can.
The mines at home are tightly guarded.
Except for minerals such as coal, iron, kaolin, and limestone that are used in large quantities and cannot be fully imported, and a small number of mines need to be retained as technical reserves and verifications, they are all Don’t dig if you can’t.
Argentina and Brazil are rich in mineral resources and are the main mining countries in Latin America.
Argentina has oil, natural gas, iron, uranium, gypsum, sulfur, beryl, etc., and Brazil has iron, nickel, manganese, bauxite, lead, and tin. , niobium, beryl, etc., are all exported to China in large quantities.
And Brazil's rich forest resources make their wood and pulp very powerful.
Coffee, rubber, and cocoa are also important export products.
In Argentina, it is beef and mutton, cow and goat milk and their products, as well as seafood.
Through trade with China, they exported minerals and agricultural products to China, and obtained a large amount of foreign exchange.
Of course, most of it was used in exchange for industrial products and technical support from China.
These industrial products and technologies are cheaper than those of European and American powers.
Wumart, they all think it is very cost-effective.
Because of these reasons, the national power of both countries is now stronger and richer than at the same time in the original time and space.
Just like in the original time and space, although Pakistan and Afghanistan did not confront each other, at most they were engaged in an arms race and were not ready to start a real war.
But once a person has money and a rich family background, his waistline will naturally become stronger and his thinking will be different.
"I've been putting up with you for a long time, do you know?"
So the two countries are now determined to have a fight.
South Atlantic Ocean, waters near the mouth of the Rio de la Plata.
The La Plata River is the second largest river in South America after the Amazon River.
In Spanish, "La Plata" means "silver".
This is a very wide river.
Its width in Buenos Aires is 70 kilometers.
It flows for another 400 kilometers and the mouth is even wider.
When it reaches 290 kilometers, it is no longer clear whether it is a river or a sea.
At this time, at the mouth of the world's widest river, two murderous fleets were facing each other in the distance.
The two sides in the confrontation are the Brazilian and Argentine fleets.
They each have four Dreadnought-class battleships.
These eight battleships have become the focus of all attention.
The mouth of the Rio de la Plata is the busiest port in South America.
Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is on its west coast, and Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, is on its east coast.
It is also the mouth of Paraguay.
Every day there are A large number of merchant ships ply here.
When the Brazilian and Argentine fleets stand on the street in such a prosperous place, onlookers are naturally indispensable.
Many timid merchant ships are doing soy sauce in the distance, acting as onlookers who do not know the truth.
Many people took out binoculars, some took out cameras to take pictures, and some well-equipped people even took out cameras.
On the Brazilian fleet's flagship "Recife", Navy Commander Admiral Serico frowned and looked at the "onlookers" around him, feeling really angry.
Look, look, look at it If Serico's idea was to follow, the venue should have been cleared long ago and all the onlookers who didn't know the truth should have been dispersed.
But he couldn't do this because before he came, the government bosses repeatedly told him not to take a tough attitude towards these foreign merchant ships.

This is not a random command by the Brazilian government, because this time the Brazilian fleet goes south, they are not here to fight, but to demonstrate and put pressure.
Since it is a demonstration and pressure, if no one sees it, isn't it a Jinyi Night Walk?
So not only can we not disperse the onlookers, but we also have to let more people see it.
No, on several planes hovering in the sky, there are reporters from Brazil's National Television and other major domestic and foreign media, filming live.
Soldiers and politicians look at problems from different perspectives.
The big guys in Brazil think this is very satisfying and very face-saving, but General Serico feels like a monkey charmer and is quite unhappy.
Serico looked at the Argentine fleet on the opposite side with a telescope and said: "Damn it, those Argentinian bastards still refuse to give in?"
The Recife's radio station once again sent a clear telegram to the Argentine fleet: "Get out of the way, we are coming to Uruguay for a humanitarian rescue mission."
At the same time, the same announcement was also sent to the other party using semaphore and signal lights.
After a while, the reply from the Argentine fleet came: "We will handle the affairs of Uruguay ourselves, and you will go back to where you came from."
There was no need for a correspondent to report, Serico saw the other party's semaphore from the telescope himself.
At this time, an Argentine seaplane flew over and shouted with the loudspeaker on the plane: "Brazilians, go back quickly.
This is not the place you should be."
Selico was furious and quickly ordered: "Asshole, get this thing out of here!"
Soon, several seaplanes from the Brazilian Navy approached and started a dogfight with the Argentine plane.
At this time, there were more and more onlookers on the nearby sea.
The USS South Dakota, a battleship with a group of young men, hurried over from the north.
Not long after, one of the three aircraft carriers converted from the British battlecruiser Hood and the aircraft carrier HMS Fury also arrived with a group of young men.
In the next two hours, the German battlecruiser Mackensen also came over with several cruisers.
Warships from France, Italy, Spain and other countries also appeared one after another.
The last one to appear was the People's Revolutionary Alliance fleet, led by China's fast battleship Qinling and aircraft carrier Xia Chao, as well as Japan's two heavy cruisers Chokai and Maya, and the aircraft carrier Hosho.
The fleet of the big gangsters came here specially to watch, oh, no, they came here to protect the safety of their own merchant ships.
You know, 90% of the merchant ships coming and going from the mouth of the Rio de la Plata belong to these great powers.
Brazil and Argentina have been quite noisy during this time, and everyone is worried that their merchant ships will be accidentally damaged.
The Chinese and Japanese aircraft carriers took off several reconnaissance planes from a distance to watch, and then stopped.
The Maya and several destroyers stayed to protect them.
The Qinling, along with the Chokai and several light cruisers, rushed over and took up a good position, preparing to watch at close range.
The People's Revolutionary Alliance aircraft in the sky rushed in front of the fleet.
"Major, the Chinese Tern is really good, much better than our 82nd Ship," the pilot said to his superior in the back seat with a smile.
Since the Japanese revolution succeeded and joined the People's Revolutionary League, many of China's originally prohibited military technologies have been opened to them.
Now many things in the Japanese army have been replaced with cannons.
Big things like warships cannot be replaced for a while, but aircraft are all Changed.
Now Japan's HNA's carrier-based aircraft are all Chinese products, well, they are refurbished products replaced by the Chinese Navy.
But although it is a refurbished product, the engine and radio are both original, which is much better than the monkey version sold to people outside the Revolutionary League.
Now China's arms sales are also like those of the Hope Country and the Bear in later generations.
They adopt several levels.
The members of the People's Revolutionary League get genuine ones without any reduction in performance, and the SCO member states get slightly lower ones.
The shrunk second-class product is the third-class monkey version in other countries, and there is also the cheapest simplified version.
Akechi Hidetsuna looked at the nearby Chinese fighter jets and said with envy: "The tern is indeed very good, but it is still not as good as the long-eared owl used by China."
This is the one who performed "one aircraft sinks one ship" in the Gibraltar naval battle.
Lieutenant Akechi Hidetsuna, Japan's World War I hero.
During the Japanese revolution, this guy stood on the right side and moved closer to the organization.
After the revolution, he was promoted directly to the aviation commander of the Hosho aircraft carrier.
The Fengxiang was too small and did not have a dedicated reconnaissance aircraft.
It used bombers for part-time reconnaissance.

This time Fengxiang took off two bombers and formed an air formation with China's two fighter jets and two bombers.
"Major, are they going to fight?"
the wingman asked him.
"Who knows?"
Akechi Hidetsuna looked at the sea below.
Eight battleships from both sides had formed a battle line, looking like they were just waiting to fight.
However, in the eyes of this experienced combat pilot, their appearance seemed Some are fierce in color and soft in heart.
"Ignore them and get ready to shoot" At this time, there were more planes in the sky, and the great powers took off their planes one after another, hovering over the Brazilian and Argentine fleets.
The Argentine fleet flagship "San Martin" battleship.
"These bastards, what do they think this is?"
Lieutenant General Batistuta said angrily as he looked at the foreign planes in the sky.
This sea area has always been regarded as the backyard of Argentina's home, but now it's better.
Not only did the Brazilians come, but also a group of big hooligans came to watch.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, the angry Batistuta ordered the fleet to be relocated.
"Damn it, we need to get rid of those Brazilian bastards quickly" "Boom" At this time, a loud noise suddenly came from the Rivadavia.
Out of nowhere, the Rivadavia's main guns suddenly fired, and at this time their main guns were all aimed at the Brazilian fleet:
