Lin Youde didn't say anything. Seeing the displeasure on his face, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone comes to eat ready-made."
Ba frowned and asked in confusion: "Yuan Shikai?"
"Smart as expected..."
Lin Youde was only halfway through his words to please his wife when he was interrupted by Ba: "How can he rob it? Should he just transport troops there by ship?"
"That's it. Anyway, Mexico no longer has a navy. The Shenji troops were severely damaged by us. The remaining Shenji forces were suppressed in the capital Mexico City and dared not come out. The cities along the coast were almost bombed by us. He only needs to transport his troops.
In the past, it was just a matter of finding a place to land. His troops don't need supplies like our armored troops. Food can be grabbed on the spot, and ammunition is enough as long as it doesn't encounter too fierce a battle."
"It's completely off-the-shelf... So, my Lin Zhuge, what's the countermeasure? Touching my breasts won't make Yuan Shikai feel weak."
"But it can activate my brain cells." Lin Youde pinched his wife's beautiful breasts regularly through his clothes, but his mind was not on this at all, "Speaking of which, we don't need to worry about Yuan Shikai and the others. Resources in northern Mexico
It doesn’t mean much to us, if they want to take it, let them take it.”
"Is this really okay?"
"This is more beneficial to us than trying to stop them. What we need is oil, aluminum ore, and the large fertile plains on the east coast of Mexico, as well as the outlet of the Atlantic Ocean. Now we have basically got them, which will give the country a little sweetness. We
Wouldn’t it be easier to collect the money they owe in the future?”
Ba looked at Lin Youde sideways.
"It's better to hold a staff meeting to discuss this matter. This kind of matter should be discussed with everyone."
Lin Youde nodded and agreed.
**
Just as Lin Youde expected, Yuan Shikai sent the navy a request for escort and landing fire support shortly after the fleet set off. Lin Youde ordered the fleet to "help vigorously" with a stroke of his pen.
So the Chinese Federation Army finally had a chance to show its face in this expedition. Duan Qirui led the troops to land in Mazatlan, and then attacked eastward first, all the way to the city of Torreon where the massacre occurred, killing the locals.
Butchered them all.
This move shocked the world's public opinion, and extremists in the nearest United States even began to clamor that the United States should send troops to "stop this cruel and barbaric act." However, newspapers run by the court and American newspapers supported by the Boston Consortium used ambiguous statements.
attitude, trying to turn the blame on Yuan Shikai Group.
After the bloodbath of Torreon, Duan Qirui turned his attack to the south. On the one hand, he repaired the railway lines destroyed by the Mexican army, and on the other hand, he advanced towards Querétaro, the northern gateway to Mexico City. Dayou and the marines who occupied Veracruz
Forming a split-forward and combined-attack situation.
Originally, Lin Youde wanted to get to Mexico City before Duan Qirui, and even capture the Mexican capital, but unfortunately, the Cordillera Mountains lay in front of the Marine Corps, blocking the armored cavalry's attack path.
Mexico City is located in the intermountain basin of the Cordillera Mountains. Even though it is high in altitude, it is surrounded by natural barriers. It is easier to get there from Duan Qirui and capture Queretaro Mexico City.
She is like a girl lying on the bed with her legs spread wide waiting for you to come on. It will be troublesome to get over from Chen Haihui's expeditionary force. The Mexicans have deployed quite powerful troops in several mountain passes, plus armored troops are in
It's really a headache to use it in mountainous areas.
Chen Haihui attacked once and suffered nearly a thousand casualties. Then he stopped on the spot and poured artillery fire on the Mexican positions while sending a telegram requesting the use of thermobaric bombs, which were particularly effective against the fortress, to clear the ground.
But how could Lin Youde dare to use thermobaric bombs at this time?
Situ Meitang in the United States has reported that the direction of public opinion is changing against China. In the United Kingdom, the Queen has come out to condemn the Chinese Federation. The Russians are clamoring that "yellow people need to be taught a lesson." Even the new
Germany, which had not expressed much stance on East Asian affairs in the past century, also stood up and issued a harshly worded diplomatic statement...
If we continue to clear the ground, we should form an anti-China alliance.
However, Josephine, who was supervising the battle at the front, reported that the Mexicans might not be able to stop Duan Qirui's offensive. Their elite troops were deployed at the mountain passes in the east and south and did not dare to move. The only people defending Mexico City were tens of thousands of miscellaneous militiamen.
, some troops are even equipped with old-fashioned Manchester rifles and not many machine guns.
At home, Yuan Shikai turned a deaf ear to world public opinion, and only boasted that he had "avenged Torreon's blood" and "will soon capture the capital of Mexico and win a great victory unseen in a century." He also despised the navy, saying that "the navy is seeking personal gain and colluding with the compatriots of the United States."
"Ignore the blood feud", "Passive aggression is frustrated by the natural dangers of the Cordillera", etc., etc., so happy.
Lin Youde is really unhappy about letting these people take over the Mexican capital.
Therefore, at the end of March 1907, Situ Meitang visited the White House again, and then the U.S. government officially took a tough stance and asked the Chinese Federation to stop military operations in Mexico, a neighboring country of the United States, otherwise the U.S. military would carry out armed intervention. Roosevelt also gave a speech to Congress
It implies "you have gone too far".
Roosevelt's opponents were dumbfounded, and Yuan Shikai was also dumbfounded.
Lin Youde smiled.
A lot of people in China immediately accused Lin Youde and Situ Meitang of being traitors to the country, but Lin Youde immediately said that Situ Meitang went to the White House to persuade the United States to continue supporting us, but unfortunately it failed.
Then the Federal Parliament said that we should replace Situ Meitang, this cheater. Lin Youde immediately said that it would be okay, and you should pay back the money first.
This matter has just ended.
After going back and forth like this, Duan Qirui had to stop his attack under the city of Querétaro and wait for peace talks with Mexico.
In April 1904, a delegation from the Chinese federal government and a Mexican government delegation led by Mexican dictator Díaz met in Hawaii. As a mediator, the United States also sent a delegation to participate in the talks.
Lin Youde also arrived in Hawaii with his naval fleet in the name of escorting the Chinese Federation delegation.
After the negotiations began, the first issue Diaz raised was the return of the prisoners of God.
