Chapter 263 The Great Uprising of the Mexican People
Two poor American businessmen were carried by a group of wolf-like Russian soldiers and thrown directly into the pile of dead Colombians. Listening to their heartbreaking screams of terror, Sablin and Chen Wenqing laughed.
All very happy.
"General, I'm afraid you have to clean up your territory thoroughly." Chen Wenqing said with a smile.
"Of course, there can be no pests in our plantations. Those Americans who are sensible should get out of here. As for those who are not sensible, I think the tropical rainforest here is no different from the virgin forest in Siberia. I guess there will always be people there silently.
The ground disappears." Sablin said with a ferocious smile.
In fact, he was using this method to warn the American plantation owners in this area, asking them to leave on their own initiative, otherwise don't blame him for being rude.
His warning was very effective. After the two American businessmen crawled out from tens of thousands of dead bodies and returned home covered in blood, the first thing they did was pack up their things and take their families to escape from their plantation. Following the Russian
His reputation spread quickly, and all the American businessmen in this area fled. After these people returned to their own countries, they tearfully accused the Russians of the crimes they had committed against them and demanded justice from the U.S. government.
Of course, all Hobart and his government could do was protest. The U.S. Navy had just recovered a little strength, but it could no longer withstand the trouble. After the New York was repaired, two more protected cruisers were added, bringing the total to five.
In addition to the size of the cruiser, there are fifteen destroyers in service. Because there is a huge gap between the welding technology and Yang Feng's shipyards, these destroyers are far heavier than the Viper class and can reach a speed of up to thirty knots. However, they are equipped with weapons from Sweden.
The purchased torpedoes will also have considerable combat effectiveness in the future.
It's a pity that in the current Caribbean Sea, their power is really not enough. The Russian Navy has two battleships and six cruisers here, including two original Soryu-class ships and two self-built imitation Soryu-class ships. Of course, they also exist
Due to the extensive use of riveting technology, the hull is overweight and the speed is reduced, but these can be ignored, at least when dealing with the Americans. There are also six original Viper-class destroyers.
The German Navy has a diesel battleship in the Caribbean. This giant ship has a displacement of 12,000 tons and can reach a speed of 25 knots using four 7,000-horsepower diesel engines. There are also two imitation Soryu-class armored cruisers and four
A Viper-class destroyer.
The Spanish Navy still maintains the full strength of the Princess Asterias fleet in Cuba, and supplements it with four self-built Viper-class ships. It is said that due to the increase in the strength of the U.S. Navy, the Cologne and the Empress Theresa
The three ships of the Vizcaya and Vizcaya will arrive soon. In addition, with the compensation from the United States, the Spanish government ordered two more Soryu-class cruisers in Sweden, and at the same time built two Soryu-class cruisers and two Princess Astraas-class cruisers.
.
In addition, there are four Chinese warships in Peace Harbor, including three armored cruisers and one protected cruiser, plus a landing ship.
In this way, in the Caribbean, the U.S. Navy is stronger than China's Caribbean Task Force, ranking fourth at most in terms of strength. With this strength, it has no right to speak. The Brazilian Navy is more effective than them, except to protest against them.
What else can we do? Fortunately, the United States has a large number of warships built in the future, including the USS Chilsarge, the USS Kentucky, the USS Illinois, the USS Alabama, the USS Wisconsin, the USS Maine, the USS Missouri, and the USS Ohio that are just about to be launched.
Including, the Americans are building as many as eight battleships, and the last three have all switched to diesel engines. This number makes even the British feel a bit stunned.
In order to build these eight battleships, the U.S. government has repeatedly raised taxes, causing domestic public dissatisfaction. In particular, the companies under the Texas Young Group were jealous of the preferential treatment. Workers in other states went on large-scale strikes and demonstrations continued.
The strong demand for an eight-hour working day, two days off per week and various insurances made the heads of the major conglomerates turn gray with worry. With the support of those capitalists, Hobart even had to mobilize the federal army to suppress it.
.
In addition to the large-scale expansion of the Navy, the U.S. Army is also expanding. We can no longer do things like maintaining tens of thousands of troops in peacetime as before. Everyone knows that this peace will not last for a few years. Germany, Russia, and the West are all enemies of the United States.
Therefore, the bill just passed by the U.S. Congress is to maintain an army of at least 500,000 people. In addition, a large number of coastal fortresses must be built, especially in New York. The first line of defense in New York must be pushed to 20 kilometers away.
Of course, these are all money. The sugar industry has almost been wiped out, the fruit industry has also begun to suffer a series of blows, and even industry is increasingly suppressed by Europe and even China. In addition to large-scale exports of crude oil, the United States now
The main advantage is actually agriculture.
Just as the Colombians were attacking the Russian soldiers, their counterattack on Barranquilla also suffered a disastrous defeat. The German Army's combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the Russian army, and its equipment was also better than that of the Russian army. To attack them proactively was not to seek death.
Well!
Two disastrous defeats caused the Colombian Army to lose almost half of its troops. Such heavy losses scared several South American countries that were a little bit indignant to retreat. The Venezuelan army moved to the border, preparing to support the revolutionary comrades of the year.
After hearing about the casualty rate of the Colombians, he did not hesitate to stop building fortifications at his home to prevent these new colonists from taking a fancy to them again.
Brazil and several other South American countries only verbally condemned Germany and Russia. After a few spittles, there was no movement. On the other hand, American arms are still being shipped from San Francisco to Colombia.
At this moment, desperate news came for the Colombians: Russian reinforcements arrived in the Dominican Republic.
"Because of the irrational behavior of the Colombian government, they must add another Cordoba province as compensation. If they dare to continue the war, then they will suffer more and more losses. Maybe one day we will ask them to cede it
Santa Fe Bogotá came as compensation." Governor Alexeyev said to reporters with a proud face as he welcomed his reinforcements at the Santo Domingo pier.
This news completely crushed the Colombians. They had no other choice but to admit defeat. If they did not want their country to perish, they could only satisfy the appetites of these colonists. So the peace talks resumed. Faced with the strong military pressure from Germany and Russia, Colombia
People could only painfully choose to cede land and pay compensation. The land in three provinces became the possessions of the colonists. In addition, the Panamanians also snatched a small piece of land in their north, making Panama connected with the Russian-controlled area.
Together.
In addition, they also need to compensate US$20 million in military expenses. This amount of money is undoubtedly a terrible burden for a country that relies entirely on exporting fruits to obtain US dollar income.
After the signing of the contract, the Russian government announced the establishment of a Caribbean Governor-General, with Alexeyev fully responsible for managing the colonies in Dominica and Colombia. A vigorous drug production movement officially kicked off, and at the same time, this later generation
Another link in the notorious industrial chain has also begun construction.
“In 1810, when the great Founding Father Hidalgo rang the bell of freedom in Dolores and issued a cry for independence, who knew that what countless Mexican warriors had paid for with their blood and lives would actually be such a result?
?
When they faced the bullets of the Spanish colonists and fought bloody battles with their yearning for freedom, prosperity, and strength, did they ever think that everything they fought for was just their fantasy?
Nearly a hundred years have passed, a hundred years since we thought we were liberated. But look at our country now. Apart from the big landowners and bureaucrats, how many people are still struggling with hunger and cold?
They tell you that Mexico is a democratic country, but can you find an official who is not corrupt and bends the law?
They tell you that Mexico is a people's republic, but the mounted patrols are killing your relatives indiscriminately.
They tell you that Mexico is a free country, but can any of you tell me, do you enjoy freedom?
This is a dark, decadent, autocratic empire, which is just a republic. What countless Mexican warriors have gained with their lives is not even as good as the colonial era. Why is this?
It’s all because of this man, this dictator, who destroyed everything for you, who allowed the landowners to seize your homes wantonly, who allowed the lackeys to massacre your relatives at will, and who allowed those American businessmen to come
Drain your wealth.
It is time to end all this. Since he does not give us democracy and freedom, then we no longer need to recognize this tyrant. Use the guns in our hands and the swords in our hands to roar out justice and overthrow this dictator.
Decay reigns.”
In a dense forest on the outskirts of Tuxtla Gutierrez, the capital of Chiapas state in southern Mexico, Santos brandished a saber in his hand and stabbed the portrait of Mexican President Diaz. Thousands of Mexican revolutionaries around him immediately
cheered.
If Díaz saw this scene, his jaw would probably drop, because the weapons in the hands of these rebellious revolutionaries are all the latest. Compared with them, the Mexican Army is like a beggar, the Austrian-made Manshali rifles, and the British-made Vickers
Water-cooled heavy machine guns, even original Krupp 82 mortars with German writing on them, and Spanish-made Bofors automatic pistols can be said to be truly fully armed.
You know, even the most elite troops of the Mexican Army are still playing Black Fire Yao!
