The fall of the city of Tuxtla Gutierrez shocked the whole of Mexico. Now everyone knows that the People's Party has suddenly emerged. For a time, the dormant anti-Diaz forces were ready to move, and then Santos announced the People's Party Revolution
The program shook the foundation of this country like a major earthquake.
"All land will be recovered by the state, whether it is in the hands of landowners or foreign investors, and then distributed equally to every Mexican citizen. Our goal is to establish a truly equal republic. The basis of equality is first of all land.
Equality, when the landlord class occupies more than 90% of the land in this country, it is meaningless to talk about equality." Santos's voice spread throughout Mexico with the help of reporters from People's Radio, and these words shocked countless poor people.
Fell into madness.
The furious President Diaz immediately ordered General Theros to immediately counterattack to recapture Tuxtla Gutierrez. In addition, more than 10,000 troops were mobilized from several nearby states to reinforce. Just as the government troops were intensively mobilizing
At that time, in the city of Tuxtla Gutierrez, Santos was also arming his army. Because of the release of his revolutionary program, countless Mexicans flocked to this city from all directions to prepare for a bloody battle for their own land.
In a short period of time, the number of his troops exceeded 20,000. Because there were not enough weapons, he even had to ask Yang Feng to send him 50,000 more arms.
Emperor Yang naturally agreed to his request without hesitation. Compared with the huge business in the future, this investment was not worth mentioning. Not only did he give him 50,000 arms, but he also allocated a whole regiment of three soldiers.
Sixteen Krupp 75-line battalion guns.
With the help of these weapons, Santos, with the support of the people in the base area, defeated General Theros's troops in one fell swoop. More than 3,000 government soldiers even surrendered to him and joined the revolutionary ranks. As for poor Seiros,
General Los was captured, tried by the people's tribunal, and hanged on the same noose that had hanged Governor Avila.
Immediately afterwards, he defeated the government troops who came for reinforcements in northern Chiapas with strong firepower. Thus, he completely controlled Chiapas in his own hands. But at this time, the real trouble came.
.
The U.S. government announced that it would dispatch its navy to blockade the coast of Chiapas at the invitation of the Mexican government.
President Hobart is not stupid. After learning about Santos's background, he immediately understood who was standing behind this guy. Except for Emperor Yang, I am afraid no one would be so generous. The latest weapons are constantly being supplied and he will not give himself anything.
A place that brings benefits. It is no secret that there is a high-speed merchant ship in Hawaii. This merchant ship is nominally used to transport cane sugar to China for Chen Fang. It can sail 10,000 nautical miles at a high speed of 20 knots without refueling. Measure the distance on the map.
I knew it would be just right to deliver arms to Santos.
As for Emperor Yang's purpose, it is not difficult to guess. Using Santos's hand to overthrow Díaz and expel American power from Mexico to weaken the American economy is such a vicious intention. Hobart and those
American capitalists really don’t understand how they offended Yang Feng. This guy is relentless in trying to trick the United States?
In the past, it was because of the Chinese Exclusion Act, but now the Chinese Exclusion Act has been repealed, and the United States has also given up its interests in the Western Pacific. There is no hatred or conflict between the two sides, so why does he still insist on holding on to the United States? If
He's worried about the future, so this guy's thinking is too long-term.
Since they can't guess, the Americans won't guess either. Anyway, if you are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust and blocking the transportation channels. It depends on how you continue to play. Even if the U.S. Navy is weakened, on the east coast of the Pacific, it is not just anyone.
The blockade fleet, composed of the Baltimore as the flagship and four auxiliary cruisers, quickly moved south to the coast of Chiapas.
This really gave Emperor Yang a headache.
He just sent a shipload of arms to Santos. It is estimated that the support will be enough for half a year, but it will be difficult to handle after half a year, unless they can open the land passage along the Caribbean coast. This is not difficult to say. As long as they win again
The neighboring state of Tabasco is fine, but it is not easy to achieve this goal. Santos is able to control Chiapas largely because of the closed terrain surrounded by mountains. Otherwise, it is in his hands
The new recruits, no matter how good their weapons are and how strong their fighting spirit is, will hardly be able to withstand the attack of the government troops. I am afraid that they will not have the strength to go out and fight the government troops for at least a year.
"What did Santos say?" Emperor Yang asked his attendant Yang Shiqi. Because there have been too many conspiracies recently, he felt that his mind was a little too busy. Ye Zi, who could help him the most in the past, now gave birth to him.
As a prince, he didn't have time to get involved in these things, so he brought in this famous poisoner in the late Qing Dynasty.
"Santos wants to take the risk of taking Tabasco if there is no other way. I think we might as well let them try. Anyway, it will only kill tens of thousands of people, and they are not our people." Yang Shiqi said, together with His Majesty the Emperor.
Work gave him a real sense of being at home, and it could be said that he fully unleashed his inner dark thoughts.
"This is not good. Even if they can't defend it, they are versatile. I can't tell you some things. You just need to understand that they have another important mission. In order to complete this mission, they must be in Panama.
Before the opening of the canal, a truly safe land passage was established along the Caribbean coast." Yang Feng shook his head and said that Yang Shiqi did not know that there was something about the Medellin Group involved.
"How strong is this country?" Yang Shiqi pondered and asked, looking at Guatemala, which borders Chiapas to the south.
"It's a small country with a population of several million and tens of thousands of troops. The domestic situation is similar to that of Mexico, and the penetration of Americans here is also very serious. It is one of the most important planting bases of the American fruit industry, especially the majority of banana plantations.
They are controlled by the Americans, and the domestic political situation is basically controlled by the Americans. They will not help Santos. In fact, I am now worried that they will cooperate with the Mexican government to join the encirclement and suppression of Santos." Yang Feng said and threw it casually.
He has a banana.
"So is it possible to let Santos kill this country first? If their set of things is very popular with the Mexican people, there is no reason why it should not be popular in Guatemala where the situation is the same." Yang Shiqi said as he took the banana in flattery.
"We can give it a try, but it's a little risky. In addition, the Americans may intervene with armed force. If the Americans take the opportunity to control Guatemala, it will be troublesome." Yang Feng pondered for a while and said, this is a new idea, so
Santos' current strength can guarantee victory as long as it simply deals with the Guatemalan government forces. After all, compared with Diaz's military strength, this small country is not at the same level. At this stage, it cannot deal with the Mexican government forces' People's Party.
Guatemala is more than adequate.
But if they are allowed to enter Guatemala, they must take the opportunity to destroy American banana plantations. This will definitely give the United States an excuse to intervene armedly, which will instead completely put Santos under siege, unless another power intervenes at the same time or before the United States, such as
Talking about the Germans, but in this case, Guatemala must have something that is enough to tempt William. I am afraid bananas will not work. If the bananas from Guatemala are shipped to Europe, they will probably only be used as fertilizer.
Suddenly something occurred to Yang Feng's mind. There seemed to be oil in this place. Although the national total output of 10,000 to 20,000 barrels per day was not considered high in the eyes of later generations, it was already a lot in this era, especially for William. Now
What he is looking at all over the world is oil. Germany’s crude oil consumption is now even on par with that of the United Kingdom. But unfortunately, the world’s crude oil is mainly controlled by the United Kingdom, Russia, and the United States. The Germans have been looking for it in the Middle East for so many years like a headless fly.
No oil field has been discovered yet, and William would go crazy if he told them about Guatemala's oil.
Thinking of this, this guy showed a sinister smile. Not only does Guatemala have oil, but small countries like Central America seem to have several oil fields, especially Costa Rica, which has large oil fields. If William were told all this, his eyes would be filled with tears.
He would stare blood red, even if he was asked to beat the United States, he would not hesitate. In this way, America has become a place of vital interest to Germany. The German navy must maintain a strong fleet here no matter what, and the Americans
There is one more opponent that cannot be driven away. Spain, Russia, and Germany are crowded in the backyard of the United States, which is very lively. When the three countries unite, Americans will no longer hope to develop southward.
In front of Emperor Yang's eyes, there seemed to be a scene of William II holding the map of China and the United States and shouting, "My, mine." Yang Shiqi laughed at him inexplicably, but with the same feeling, he knew that His Majesty the Emperor had already figured out how to operate it.
.
"Go, inform Santos and ask him to use the banner of liberation of Central America and go south to liberate the people of Guatemala first. Tell him not to be afraid and to do it boldly. I will have follow-up plans, especially after arriving there.
To expel American plantation owners on a large scale, of course he has to figure out his position. He is going to help the Guatemalan people liberate, not to annex the country. Opening up land routes is the most important task at the moment. In addition, he is going to liberate the Guatemalan people.
Find him and tell him that out of my friendship with the German people and the Kaiser, I want to send a big gift to His Majesty the Emperor, a big, big gift." Emperor Yang said with a sly smile.
