Abstract

La mayoría de las tropas colombianas que mandaron a la frontera se perdieron en la selva. Los ejércitos enemigos no se encontraron nunca. Unos refugiados alemanes de la Primera Guerra Mundial, que fundaron Avianca, se pusieron al servicio del gobierno y se fueron a la guerra con sus aviones de papel de aluminio. Uno de ellos cayó en plena selva y las tambochas -hormigas venenosas de cabeza roja-le comieron las piernas: yo lo conocí más tarde, llevando sus condecoraciones en silla de ruedas. Los aviadores alemanes al servicio de Colombia bombardearon con cocos una procesión de Corpus Christi en una aldea fronteriza del Perú. Un militar colombiano cayó herido en una escaramuza, y aquello fue como una lotería para el gobierno: llevaron al herido por todo el país, como una prueba de la crueldad de Sánchez Cerro, y tanto lo llevaron y lo trajeron, que al pobre hombre, herido en un tobillo, se le gangrenó la pierna y murió. Tengo dos mil anécdotas como estas. Si tú investigas la historia del lado del Perú y yo la investigo del lado de Colombia, te aseguro que escribimos el libro más delirante, increíble y aparatoso que se pueda concebir.
