Chapter 342 Black Hand

Of course, the liberated Mexican people cannot enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life for the time being, because the claws of the U.S. imperialists have extended into this beautiful and holy land, for the sake of freedom, for democracy, and of course mainly for the newly allocated land.

Countless Mexican farmers bravely embarked on the battlefield to defend their homeland. They have a great leader, and they have the support of international justice forces. Of course, the main reason is that they have huge income from the drug trade, although they do not know this, so

Victory will eventually belong to them...

On the second day after the founding of the People's Republic of Mexico, the Chinese government recognized its legitimacy and severely condemned the U.S. government's gross interference in Mexico's internal affairs, claiming that the 400 million people of the Chinese Federal Empire would always stand with the free people of Mexico.

At the same time, if the US government continues to go down the wrong path, the Chinese government will not rule out taking some necessary measures.

At the same time as this statement was issued, the new Caribbean Task Force led by Lin Yongsheng arrived in Puerto Rico. Due to the rapid end of the American Civil War, this fleet slowed down its journey and showed off its power along the way, giving South American countries a complete taste of the empire from the far east.

It even held a friendly maritime exercise with the Brazilian Navy, and the spectacular scene of cannon salvos shocked this country, which is theoretically the strongest navy in the Americas.

After arriving in Puerto Rico, he used a shooting show to completely eliminate the dissatisfaction among the white residents of this small island that had just been sold to His Majesty the Emperor. In fact, Emperor Yang did not have much interest in governing this territory.

, he just wanted to get a real base for his army. Puerto Rico’s main products are coffee and cane sugar. These are simply not worth mentioning to him. Autonomy has been achieved in the hands of the Spanish before, so he also

Continuing the Spanish policy and coupled with strong military pressure, the Puerto Ricans are quite content.

After the arrival of Lin Yongsheng's fleet, the fleet led by Lin Taizeng embarked on the journey back to Hawaii. They will continue to be stationed at Pearl Harbor, using cannons to protect the Mexicans' maritime supply lines. A large number of weapons purchased from the proceeds from the supplies trade are being used in distant places.

Shipments are loaded on the West Coast of the Pacific and then continuously transported to the hands of the Mexicans. This route must be protected. In addition, the interests of the Chinese Autonomous Region of San Francisco must be protected, which was once the largest military base on the West Coast of the United States. Now the U.S. Navy and Army have no

Quan is stationed there, but the Chinese navy often hangs around in the name of visiting.

In order to deal with these eager new colonists, the Americans had to build a new naval base in Los Angeles. However, because the naval strength is no longer what it used to be, there are currently only four kiloton-class destroyers stationed there, using four Yangtze destroyers.

The civilian impulse steam turbine produced by China's Power System is just to maintain their appearance. In fact, it is the main force of the US Navy now. After all, according to the Versailles Peace Treaty, they are not allowed to own warships of more than 5,000 tons within ten years. However,

What all parties did not understand was that Emperor Yang actually resumed supplying them with military diesel engines after the war.

His incredible behavior made all countries marvel at the emperor's desire for money.

"Why don't we sell it to them? Anyway, they don't have the guts to build large warships now. They just use it to build a few small destroyers and small cruisers, which is not worth mentioning to us. On the contrary, if we don't sell it to them.

They will work hard on their own research, and maybe they will be able to research something by then. The creativity of Americans is still worthy of admiration. If we give them diesel engines, they will relax their research in other areas." Yang Feng

The emperor said.

"What if they also build the same diesel engine?" Yuan Shikai asked.

"Impossible. Have you ever seen someone repairing this thing on a warship? Do you think the structure is complicated?" Emperor Yang said with a smile.

Yuan Shikai shook his head.

"The structure of the diesel engine is indeed not complicated, so why has the British studied our machine for almost seven years, and now the maximum power of a diesel engine of the same volume and weight is only 3,000 horsepower, and its performance is very unstable and full of faults?

"

Yuan Shikai continued to shake his head.

"Design is not the most important, materials and processing accuracy are the key. Without my materials and my high-precision machine tools, if they want to build the same diesel engine, I don't think they have hope in twenty years." Yang Feng

He said with confidence that his confidence was well-founded. Originally, it was 1938 when diesel engines reached their current power level in history. If these foreigners had the ability to rely solely on their golden fingers in structural design, they would be able to complete the process in 30 years.

How can it be called a fantasy if it's such a leap? What's more, even that machine is still incomparable in terms of weight and size with the one he is using now.

Compared with diesel engines, he was more worried about Americans being forced to make breakthroughs in steam turbines. After all, compared with diesel engines, that thing was of real practical significance, so he would rather continue to supply diesel engines to Americans.

Regarding this kind of technological things, the Lord Chamberlain and His Excellency the Marquis do not have much say. Since the Emperor has said it, he must believe it unconditionally.

"Then what else needs to be done in the Americas next?" he asked immediately. Compared with studying science, conspiracy is more suitable for him.

"Nothing needs to be done. The next step is the work of the Mexicans. Neither Santos nor the Americans have a choice. Santos must clean up the wealth of the Americans in Mexico and then complete his commitment to the people, otherwise his people will not

If you continue to support him, Americans must also protect their interests in Mexico. They will never allow a country hostile to them to appear in their backyard. And now the Americans have lost the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Mexico.

It is their only remaining economic colony. Whether for practical or long-term interests, they must take back this land. As long as we do not intervene with arms, this war will continue. We only need to provide support behind the scenes, no matter who they are.

Whoever loses wins, it is a victory for us. Of course, our design should be that Mexico wins, and then, stimulated by the victory, we continue to regain the land they lost back then." Yang Feng said.

"What if the Mexicans don't have such ambitions? With their strength, I'm afraid even if they win, it will be a miserable defeat. They may not have such ambitions at that time." Yuan Shikai said cautiously.

"No, they will. Who can refuse the temptation of gold and silver? Utah's silver, Nevada's gold, California's oil, these are all easy to make people lose their mind." Emperor Yang said with a smile.

"Also urge Chen Wenqing to quickly sign Gulf Oil's exclusive oil exploration and production rights in Mexico with Santos," he then added.

In fact, he doesn't need to push this point. Santos has already been impatient. Starting a war with the Americans is not to deal with Diaz. I am afraid that the war cannot be sustained simply by relying on drug profits and the income from fighting local tyrants. What's more, European countries have now

The sale of heroin and cocaine has been banned. Although the Russians can still sell it secretly through smuggling, sales will definitely be greatly affected in the initial stage. The decline in sales means that he has less funds to purchase weapons. This man

The President of Mexico, who was accustomed to heavy firepower tactics under Yang Feng, did not know how to be frugal, so he had to open up new sources of funds. Since Emperor Yang said that there were oil fields in Mexico, why should we wait? Just develop them quickly.

Soon under the chairmanship of Chen Wenqing, Gulf Oil Company quickly signed an agreement with the Mexican government. The two parties established Pemex in the form of a joint venture. The Mexican government invested in the company with exclusive oil exploration and production rights, accounting for 20% of the company's shares. Gulf Oil used funds and

The technical investment accounts for 80% of the shares to jointly develop the oil resources in Mexico. Of course, what is not public is that 5% of it is given to the President himself. He has a secret account in the People's Bank of China, which is specially used for deposits.

The reward given to him by His Majesty the Emperor.

As for which oil field to develop, this is very simple. In the 1920s, the world's second largest oil exporter, even though Emperor Yang is not interested in exploiting the Cantarelli offshore oil field, the world's sixth largest, Guang Wei

The onshore oil fields in La Cruz state are enough for him.

"Oil, oil is really a good thing." Emperor Yang looked at the map and said with emotion. This thing is more effective than any other weapon when used well. Cannons have no such effect. Things in America will be like this for the time being. Anyway, the United States and

The war in Mexico still needs to be fought, but where should we go next?

Africa?

The British have not yet taken over the Boers. Originally, they should have occupied Bloemfontein, the capital of the Orange Republic, at this time in history, but now they still have not captured this city, although the Germans have stopped giving the Boers

Arms were provided, but these guys had enough reserves in their hands. The heroic Boers, under the command of German advisers, beat the lobsters to the point where they were almost second to Italy. The British Empire could be said to have lost face in this war.

The war in South Africa even affected the development of oil in Nigeria. The success of the Boers greatly encouraged the Muslim chiefs there. Lugard's efforts there for more than five years are facing severe challenges. The Germans, stimulated by oil,

Reversing his past neglect of Nigeria, Lugard began to intensify his infiltration of local chiefs and even secretly provided them with weapon support. Lugard's painstaking indirect rule strategy was in danger of failure.

Even the French, who had already determined their sphere of influence with the British, began to take action after hearing the news that Nigeria had oil. (To be continued...)
