"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, your navy is killing our soldiers wantonly. This is an invasion of our country! Our country demands that your country immediately apologize to our country, compensate our losses, and withdraw its troops from our coast!" A bearded Westerner
A man, in front of Wu Tingfang, loudly complained about the atrocities committed by the Chinese navy. He was none other than Felix, the Mexican ambassador to China.
Wu Tingfang looked at Felix with a smile on his face, as if he had turned a deaf ear to his accusations. Wu Tingfang had already expected the visit of the Mexican ambassador. However, for a small country like Mexico, China did not pay attention at all.
In China’s eyes, not to mention that the current Mexican government will be overthrown in China’s plan.
"Are you done? Mr. Felix!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile still on his face.
Ambassador Felix nodded. At this moment, his mouth was dry.
"Then, I will tell you China's decision now! Since your team's wanton massacre of civilians has seriously violated the spirit of humanitarianism, His Majesty the Emperor and the government of our country have concluded that your country's Díaz government is no longer suitable.
It’s in power!” Wu Tingfang said.
"What? Mr. Wu Tingfang? You, what do you mean?" Ambassador Felix was shocked. He did not expect that Wu Tingfang's answer was this. China actually wanted to overthrow the Mexican government through so-called humanitarianism. This is really
Love barbarism, this is completely trampling on a sovereign country!
"Mr. Felix, I think what I said has been clear enough!" Wu Tingfang said seriously as the smile on his face disappeared.
"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, Mexico is an independent country. The Mexican government is also the only legal government of Mexico! China's behavior is unethical. The whole world will oppose China's behavior!" Ambassador Felix roared fiercely.
.
"Mr. Felix, you should know that our country does not care about international opinions. As long as we get the support of the citizens of the empire, that's it!" Wu Tingfang said nonchalantly.
"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, I believe that the Chinese people are also peace-loving, and they will not agree to China invading other countries at will!" Felix was still making the final struggle. He knew that if China is determined to invade Mexico, Mexico will
It is simply unstoppable. Even the United States behind Dias cannot stop it. As the ambassador to China
, his understanding of this country is much deeper than those in the country. This ancient country, China, is now exerting strong firepower. A large number of new factories, roads, railways, power transmission and other infrastructure are being built.
, are also very fast. This country has fully awakened and is regaining its position.
"The Chinese people are peace-loving. However, they are also very willing to uphold justice. For a cruel government, the Chinese people also hope to overthrow it! Mr. Felix, maybe you should read this morning's Empire Daily
!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile.
Felix left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in frustration. He knew that China's invasion of Mexico, or, in other words, according to the Chinese, the rescue of the Mexican people living in dire straits, was inevitable. The Díaz government was very
may be overturned.
Ambassador Felix returned to the car and prepared to return to the embassy. When he passed a newsstand, he asked his secretary to buy a copy of the "Empire Daily". When he took it back, he saw that this issue of the "Empire Daily" was,
The headline on the front page is about the brutal behavior of the Díaz government in Mexico. The chapter introduces the dictatorial rule of the Díaz government over Mexico at length, as well as the atrocities committed during this counter-insurgency. A large number of Mexican civilians were killed.
, even with pictures.
Immediately, Ambassador Felix knew that Mexico was finished, or that the Mexican Díaz government was finished. There was no way to stop the Chinese from sending troops to Mexico.
In fact, it was just as Felix thought. When several mainstream newspapers in China began to introduce the atrocities of the Mexican Díaz government in large sections, people across the country became excited, and there were various protests in major cities.
There are fewer calls to overthrow the Diaz government and save the Mexican people. As China's national power continues to grow, citizens of the empire are becoming more and more knowledgeable about international affairs. Many
The elites of the country also require the empire to actively participate in international affairs. Of course, more Chinese people have a mentality of not caring about their own affairs, thinking that why should China meddle in other people's affairs?
The most important thing is to live your own life well. Of course, after the imperial emperor Wang Yuze gave the order, no one dared to openly oppose it. Wang Yuze has been completely deified in the empire!
Internationally, many countries have accused China of this barbaric behavior of wantonly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. In particular, the member states of the Allied Powers are jumping up and down, demanding sanctions against China for this behavior.
On January 1, 1904, the first day of the new year, the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet escorted a huge transport fleet and appeared in Mazatlan. When the huge fleet appeared on the sea, Pancho, who was still standing here,
The peasant rebels in Villa were completely shocked. The densely packed warships and transport ships on the sea all showed the power of China. At the same time,
, which also gave them complete peace of mind. The 100,000 government troops led by Carl Perez have been staying at a place about 20 kilometers away from Mazatlan. However, because of the Chinese Navy warships staying on the sea
More and more, they have given up the attack on Mazatlan. Under such circumstances, if they attack Mazatlan again, they will be asking for death!
The Third Marine Division landed first. In the afternoon, a regiment of the Third Marine Division launched a tentative attack on the Mexican government forces. The original intention was to test the combat effectiveness of the Mexican government forces. However, Carl
After Perez discovered that the squadron was starting to attack, he immediately ordered the Mexican army
The squadron retreated back hundreds of kilometers away. This shocked the squadron and puzzled the commander of the Sixth Army, General Gao Chang, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yang Ming, who were responsible for commanding this operation. These Mexicans
Are the government troops prepared to watch the squadron land without any resistance?
The Mexican government army's active retreat saved the squadron a lot of trouble. Two days later, the artillery brigade, cavalry brigade and baggage brigade of the Chinese Army's 11th Division and the Sixth Group Army all landed.
Mexican President Díaz has learned that the squadron has landed in Mazatlan, but he has not yet received a reply from the United States, which makes Díaz very anxious. He wonders whether the United States will support Mexico. Without the United States,
If we don’t support it, Mexico won’t have it at all
It is possible to withstand the invasion of the squadron. On the one hand, Díaz urged Foreign Minister Curtis in the United States to seize the time to contact the United States and ask the United States to support Mexico. On the other hand, Carl Perez, whose life was suffering, insisted on holding on to El
Salto, resist the invasion of the squadron!
On January 3, the squadron that completed the landing began to attack the Mexican government forces. As for Mazatlan, only one battalion of the 3rd Marine Division was left to garrison. There were Navy warships anchored on the sea.
One battalion is enough to ensure the safety of Mazatlan.
A squadron of more than 50,000 troops attacked from Mazatlan to El Salto, while the Mexican government troops, led by Secretary of War Carl Perez, were preparing to resist the squadron's attack in El Salto!
On January 6, the squadron arrived at El Salto, and that afternoon, the squadron launched an attack. Before the infantry attack began, it was the artillery brigade of the Sixth Army and the artillery battalion of the 11th Army Division and the 3rd Marine Corps.
The division's artillery battalion prepared artillery fire for half an hour! One artillery brigade plus two artillery battalions contained more than 300 cannons with a caliber of 105 mm or more.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" At nine o'clock in the morning, the squadron's shelling began. Intensive shells hit the positions of the Mexican government troops. The simple fortifications they built were unable to withstand the fierce shelling of the squadron. The trenches
were blown up, and some heavy machine gun fire points were blown into the sky.
"Fire! Counterattack!" Mexican War Minister Carl Perez gave the order to counterattack. Hundreds of cannons from the Mexican government began to roar. However, before they could fire a few rounds of shells, they were already struck by the sky.
The observation balloon was discovered. Chinese artillery immediately attacked the artillery positions of the Mexican government forces.
A covering strike was carried out. In less than twenty minutes, the artillery position of the Mexican government army was destroyed. The soldiers of the Mexican government army also suffered heavy losses in the fierce shelling. During their military careers, they have never
They had never experienced such a violent bombardment, and their morale was immediately crushed.
The Mexican army was originally won over by Diaz. Because the relationship between the Diaz government and the United States is very close, Mexico's security is guaranteed. The Mexican army only needs to be able to suppress domestic rebellions, and its combat effectiveness
Very low. In front of a world-class squadron, it is simply vulnerable.
During the half-hour shelling, the Mexican government forces suffered heavy losses. Many troops deserted. It was okay for these Mexican government soldiers to deal with unarmed civilians, but it was very difficult for them to resist the squadrons who were armed to the teeth.
Very scared.
After preparations for the artillery attack, two regiments of the 11th Division of the Chinese Army launched an attack on El Salto. The Mexican government forces were defeated after holding on for less than an hour!
