"If this is the case, we will need to deal with the US military in California in the future..." Yuan Shikai said. It is obvious that His Excellency the Attendant is very disappointed with Santos for not letting his compatriots run to fight the US military, and then the Chinese will pick fruits behind.
dissatisfied.
"It doesn't matter, it's just time to train with the Americans. It's normal for the Mexicans to have their own ideas. As long as they enter California, that's all. Notify Stuart Meitang of San Francisco that as soon as the Mexicans enter California, let him and the San Francisco Autonomous District Council immediately
He asked for troops to protect the immigrants and create some chaos in San Francisco. Doesn’t he also have a lot of Mexican immigrants under his command? Let them rise up to start an uprising in San Francisco or something. When it comes to acting, it must be more realistic." Yang Feng said,
He doesn't care that Santos has his own ideas. He has already become the president, and he is also a dictator-like president. Naturally, he cannot treat him with the same attitude as before. Even if he is a dog, he will definitely not grow up.
He was well-behaved as a child.
Besides, if the Mexicans captured California and China took it over later, it would be easy to hurt the feelings of the Mexican people. Now the European powers are already dissatisfied with China's monopolization of Mexico. Britain, France, and Russia are all supporting their own forces in Mexico.
power, if Santos acts too openly, it is easy for these people to take advantage of him.
Since Emperor Yang didn't mind, Chief Yuan said nothing more and immediately sent a report to Santos, asking him to invade California as soon as possible. In addition, he notified Situ Meitang in San Francisco to prepare, and the two domestic army divisions
It has already set off, heading to Hawaii in the name of a defense change, ready to launch another invasion of the United States from there, uh, or to protect overseas Chinese. It is accompanied by two Soryu-class cruisers and six large destroyers. This small task force is not very powerful.
Strong, but if you consider that the battleship Wuyi and the large armored cruiser Tianshan are returning home. When this fleet reaches San Francisco, its strength will become very terrifying.
The Americans don't want to sit still and wait for death, but they are really powerless now. Due to financial constraints, the current United States can only maintain an army of 600,000, of which 200,000 are on the current border between the United States and Spain. On the opposite side of Florida, Spain still has
Maintaining the size of the 120,000-strong army. In other words, these 200,000 people must not move. They are not only watching the Spanish, but also watching the Confederate troops flanking the Mississippi. In addition, they have to scare the state of Alabama.
and secession activities in Georgia. These two states had been thinking about defecting to the Confederacy since the last war, especially Alabama, which had armed itself against the Union more than once. These two hundred thousand people had a heavy responsibility.
Then the California garrison, as well as some garrison on the east coast, the only mobile force was the 150,000 people who had just withdrawn from Mexico. Just as Yang Feng expected, these poor boys had their hearts severely damaged.
I heard that we still have to go to the battlefield and fight against the terrible Mexicans. Naturally, we are determined not to do it. If pressed, there will be signs of mutiny. Before doing the ideological work of these people, we must not let them go.
The weapons and equipment for another 150,000 people sent to the battlefield cannot be solved in a day or two.
So they could only mobilize the army in San Francisco nearby, take one of the three divisions surrounding San Francisco and go south, and then a division stationed in San Diego took a train to Yuma. They also recruited more than 20,000 horses from Arizona, New Mexico and other places.
Turn this original infantry division into a cavalry division. When fighting in the vast Sonora Desert, the infantry becomes a joke. Fortunately, most Americans can ride horses, so there is no problem in role conversion. In addition,
A part of the militia gathered together an army of more than 20,000 people. Then they launched an attack on the Mexicans in the Yuma Desert, trying to directly cut off the Mexicans' railways.
The cunning Santos had long been prepared to deal with this situation. While repairing the railway, dozens of bulldozers purchased from General Motors dug out a giant tunnel with a depth of more than two meters and a width of more than five meters on the outside of the railway.
The trenches were filled with sand, and all the sand pushed out was piled inside. Those brave American cavalrymen were dumbfounded when they rushed forward.
How to fight this?
It was indeed impossible to fight. Before the cavalry could rush forward, bullets from the Mexicans on the opposite side immediately hit them like a storm. Even if they were lucky enough to break through the blockade, they would only be able to stare at the deep ditch in front of them when they rushed forward.
Sighing, he was immediately blown to pieces by a grenade. This towering sand wall not only blocked the U.S. military's attack, but even blocked their artillery's attack on the train behind it. The train departing from the simple dock was loaded with goods from
The fresh water, food, and ammunition unloaded from the landing ship rumbled over and were continuously delivered to the Mexicans.
The Americans who set off from Yuma and trekked dozens of kilometers in the desert with water bottles, and then came here to fight for their lives, could only sip the precious fresh water one by one, gnaw the dry and hard food, and speak with sorrow and anger.
Looking at the enemies on the opposite side eating and drinking there, and some even pouring water on their heads as a demonstration, after a day of continuous attacks, this American army completely lost interest in attacking, and returned to Yuma dejectedly.
Fortunately, the Mexicans, who are mainly infantry, are not interested in chasing them. In order to complete the task assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, Santos' main goal now is to break into California. He must build the train into the valley of the lower Colorado River and rely on the river.
The freshwater supply troops were divided into two groups, heading north into California, making a gesture of attacking Los Angeles to give Emperor Yang an excuse to protect the overseas Chinese. The other group headed east along the Gila Valley to attack Phoenix, and then continued eastward along the railroad to the map.
Sen, and nailed here, then began to repair the railway from Puerto Guaymas to Nogales.
Originally, there was a railway for him to go directly north from Mexico. Two branch lines belonging to the Santa Fe Railway System of the United States entered Mexico. One ran from the central plateau mountainous area to the distant Mexico City, with the northern end in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and the other.
One line runs east from here in Nogales and then turns southwest to the port of Guaymas. However, during the war that lasted for more than a year, the Mexican guerrillas continued to destroy it and the later large-scale demolition by American businessmen to vent their anger made these two lines impossible.
The railways were basically destroyed, especially the line to Mexico City, which could not be repaired in less than two years. The line in Guaymas also took more than half a year to be repaired. The Americans demolished almost all the tracks.
For them, the Mexican government will nationalize the railway they built anyway, so they can still make some money by removing the tracks!
Santos' plan was to first seize control of the northern section of the railway in Phoenix, hold on to it, and then repair the railway. As long as the railway to Nogales was built, the entire Arizona and New Mexico would be firmly in his hands.
Of course, this is his business and has nothing to do with Emperor Yang.
Under the protection of the army that increased to two divisions, it took the Mexicans a month to finally complete their road construction project, and then launched an attack on the US military's defense line in the Colorado River Valley. After more than a year of war, the Mexicans
In the face of the elite Mexican Army and the overwhelming artillery fire, those American soldiers who had been tortured by failure and failure for five years actually put up a fairly tenacious resistance. The battle between the two sides lasted for a week. When the Mexicans' third
After the division joined the battlefield, the American defense line finally collapsed.
After defeating the American troops, the Mexicans immediately separated two divisions and attacked westward along the Gila Valley. As for their supplies, they were transported along the river in small boats by accompanying trucks and a large number of Mexican fishermen who came to assist in the battle, while another division
Heading north and officially entering California, the moment they crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, the commander of the Mexican army immediately sent a telegram to San Francisco.
"Okay, it's our turn to take action!" Situ Meitang, commander of the National Guard of the San Francisco Autonomous Region, looked at the telegram in his hand and said with a smile. He had already made sufficient preparations according to Emperor Yang's order and was waiting for this news to take action.
.
"Carlos, tomorrow night you will officially hold an uprising and raise the flag of the Mexican People's Party. Then I will retreat the Oakland garrison to San Jose and leave all the heavy artillery to you. Then you will leave a few hundred people and some more."
Pull them together to make up for it and pretend to attack San Jose. Use all kinds of machine gun grenades. The more lively the fight, the better. The garrison in San Jose will also cooperate with the performance. As for the main force you lead, directly attack the American troops in Stockton.
Launch an attack, and if they can be eliminated or defeated, then continue to attack Sacramento. If they cannot be defeated, then retreat to guard the east coast and wait for reinforcements from Hawaii to arrive." The guy then said to a Mexican officer next to him.
At least half of the National Guard in the Chinese Autonomous Region are Mexican and Japanese immigrants. Emperor Yang's plan is to let these people use the banner of the Mexican People's Party to launch an uprising in the autonomous region, and then attack San Francisco while attacking the surrounding US troops, causing
A situation in which San Francisco may fall at any time. By killing someone and setting fire to something, it would be best to defeat the US military and make it appear that they are unable to control the situation, and then let the autonomous region council ask for help from their motherland, so they can gather in Hawaii.
Three divisions of the Chinese Army can come to protect the overseas Chinese in large numbers.
After the army arrives, they can casually create some excuse like Wicker Lake, and then openly declare war on the United States again. Emperor Yang is very good at playing these games. (To be continued...)
