China immediately announced that it would move the fleet of American companies in Panama City into the Gulf of Mexico and stationed in Houston.

Britain announced the transfer of the Bahamian fleet to operate with the U.S. military and stationed in Veracruz.

Britain and the United States have an alliance relationship, China has a canal in hand, and the three sides are tense.

In the event of a real war, China will not have an advantage here.

China's maritime power in North America, including the North American Territory Navy Division and the American Company fleet, has only 50 ironclad ships in total, while the United States alone has built 60 ironclad ships, ranking fourth in the world after France's 70 ironclads. Although China can mobilize warships from other places, so can the United Kingdom, which is equipped with 200 ironclad ships, the world's largest navy, but Britain also maintains a navy of 120 ironclad ships, which is closer to the Americas.

In the era when the technology of ironclad ships is changing with each passing day, it is impossible for anyone to invest huge sums of money in an arms race, basically the models of various countries are two ships and one model, the main models are the artillery room ironclad arrows, the ship gun ironclad ships and the just-appeared battery-type ironclad ships, the power is mainly mixed with sail steam power, some are mainly sail power, some are mainly steam power, the speed is between 14 nautical miles and 20 nautical miles, the speed gap between the capital ships is too large, and even can not be formed.

Under such technical conditions, large-scale equipping of ironclad ships means that they may be eliminated at any time, so all countries are only equipped with the necessary number of warships to maintain their sea power, and no one dares to risk mass production according to the same ship type, because when a cost generally exceeds 300,000 pounds, once the type of ship that is gambled proves to be unsuitable for naval warfare in the ironclad era, it means a huge waste of money.

Therefore, in the event of a war with Britain and the United States, China will suffer, at least for the time being.

This is also the reason why Britain and the United States dared to make a move in Mexico.

Wang Sheng and Zhu Yong, who had been following Hu Yarez on the march, immediately understood that the situation was not good when they received the news of the landing of the American troops.

"It's time for us to leave. It's best to persuade Juarez to retreat, otherwise you'll suffer! ”

Zhu Yong told Wang Shengdao.

"It's fine. This trip to troubled waters was not caused by you and me. I just don't know what the result will be if I go back like this. ”

Wang Sheng sighed.

Zhu Yong smiled: "What is Brother Wang worried about? ”

Wang Sheng said: "Brother Zhu naturally don't worry, after all, I am guilty of sin, and the matter has not been done, others pinch me to death is the same as pinching an ant to death." ”

Zhu Yongan said dangerously: "Brother Wang is too worried. I'll keep you safe! ”

Wang Sheng smiled bitterly: "Borrow Brother Wang's auspicious words." Well, what do you say? Who are you? ”

Wang Sheng saw Zhu Yong's calm demeanor, and suddenly felt an unprecedented momentum on the other party's body.

Zhu Yong laughed and said, "I'm the Niu Bachi who wants to be the king of Mexico." ”

Wang Sheng really dropped his jaw in shock, he didn't expect that this Zhu was really Bi Zhu, the young man surnamed Zhu who found him at the beginning?

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it the Yunxiao Zhu Clan?"

Wang Sheng asked.

"Zhu Lian is the ancestor!"

The grandson of the Pirate King!

Wang Sheng said again: "What about the Niu Ba who looked for me last time?" ”

Zhu Yongdao: "It's my uncle's grandson." ”

"The grandson of the North American Governor Zhu Fuhai's family?"

After Wang Sheng finished speaking, he was speechless, and called the name of the governor of the Americas in front of the Zhu family.

At that time, Zhu Fuhai stayed in the Americas, and then stepped down after more than ten years of governorship, and then remained in the Americas. The children of the family have also been engaged in politics, and their protégés are all over the world, and there are still three sons who serve as governors and prefects in various parts of the Americas.

"You're relieved now?"

Zhu Yong said with a smile.

Wang Sheng also smiled and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect a crocodile to be by his side all the time, it turned out that this Zhu Yong was the person behind the scenes.

sighed: "It's a pity that I lost." I wonder what you're going to do next? ”

Zhu Yong said freely: "It's not that easy. The rest of the matter is not up to you and me. Go back and wait and see what happens, there are those giants competing for it. ”

"And what about Juarez?"

He had to ask for more blessings. I'm going to meet him! ”

Zhu Yong soon asked to see Huarez.

He told Juárez that the time had been lost as the U.S. military approached Mexico City. It is recommended that Juarez return to the army as soon as possible, stabilize the south, and strive to control the south in his hands. The Carlos army, which had gone north from Guatemala and other places to quell the rebellion, had already recovered Oaxaca, but had not continued north, apparently with different ambitions, or Juárez had a tacit understanding with them and had reached an agreement with this army.

Huarez asked whether China would support him in fighting the Americans even if he controlled the south. Zhu Yong persuaded him to seek China's support as much as possible, and it was better to quickly advance south to the Panama Canal, so that China would definitely support them, and it would be more convenient to support them.

Juárez sighed, but he was not reconciled, Mexico City was already close at hand, he launched a strong attack, but failed, the American troops were getting closer and closer, and before the exchange of fire with the American troops, he retreated in a familiar way.

Wang Sheng and Zhu Yong returned with their troops to the south, and then returned to Acapulco from the Widow's Beach, from which it was most convenient to attack if China wanted to intervene.

The latest news that the two got here is that the U.S. military has entered Mexico City, China has also decided to march, and the local garrison is being moved. Zhu Yong was really a member of the Zhu family, and soon arranged a position for Wang Sheng, reinstated his position as a thousand general soldiers, of course, just a mercenary of the American Company, and asked him to be responsible for commanding a thousand people to go to Mexico City immediately, but he was not required to go to war with the American army, it was best to enter the city, and if he could not enter the city, he would be stationed in the suburbs, making a confrontation situation and creating conditions for later intervention.

Wang Sheng basically figured out Zhu Yong's background at this time, he was not a native of the Zhu family in the Americas, but the youngest son of the fifth room who followed Zhu Hui back to China back then, was born to his father's third wife, and his mother's family background was profound, and he was the granddaughter of the Wei family of the business magnate Lian Lixing.

But this guy didn't like to study since he was a child, so he went to Lianli Bank as an apprentice and learned to do business. He traveled south and north, and also experienced three years of training in Mobei, where he set up a huge horse farm to provide military horses for the army. Three years ago, he came to the Americas and ran a farm in Peru, which was extremely ruthless, and he clashed with a local Indian force, and recruited troops to kill a thousand-strong tribe to disappear.

The farm he runs is not a private farm, but a farm of the American Company. But the Zhu family has always been the majority shareholder of the American company, and in this company, his future is limitless.

Wang Sheng has no problem commanding an army of 1,000 people, he was originally a thousand generals in the Chinese army, although he did not go to a military school, he relied on eight years of conscientious work to climb up, and his command ability was at least decent, but later his experience in Africa made his adaptability and ability to fight unconventional wars outstanding.

The 1,000 people under his command are also well-trained officers and soldiers, most of the officers are veterans, and most of the soldiers are Japanese mercenaries, since the four major companies, especially the African companies and the American companies, began to hire Japanese on a large scale, the Japanese mercenaries have gradually become famous, the reason is actually very simple, the high degree of obedience and samurai culture makes those poor samurai in Japan the best soldiers.

They were not ordinary people in Japan, but a samurai class who had learned the art of killing since childhood, and although they were poor, not only were they not as good as the merchant class, but they were probably not as wealthy as the peasants, but they were swordsmen and privileged. And he attaches great importance to his own identity, a lowly-level samurai, only two stones a year, one stone of grain is enough for an adult to eat for a year, and a low-level samurai with two stones is impossible to feed a family, so most of the time, having two or three children is the limit, and then both men and women will drown.

The employment of Chinese companies provides them with a way out, their martial arts of killing people are not used, but the consciousness of killing allows them to adapt to the identity of soldiers more quickly. The salaries of mercenaries are very high, and the most ordinary soldiers can also get ten taels of silver a month, which is enough for them to buy five stone of grain, which is equivalent to sixty stone of food a year, which is more than enough to feed their families. It is also very dangerous, because overseas companies are commercial organizations, do not raise idlers, and fighting is extremely frequent. Especially in Africa, there is no day when the war with the black tribes does not happen again, and the African company is also the largest customer of Japanese mercenaries, recruiting more than 30,000 Japanese samurai to serve every year.

There were relatively few American companies, with 10,000 Japanese serving here, and European and Australian companies had basically only a symbolic number of troops.

Wang Sheng had commanded the Japanese in Africa to fight, and he knew the combat effectiveness of these people, and at the same time, there was no problem with language communication, most of the Japanese learned Chinese, because as a samurai, they basically knew Chinese characters, and there was basically no language barrier when they were soldiers for a few years.

More than half of the 1,000 people under Wang Sheng can communicate normally, and the other half do not need to communicate, they are all low-level recruits, and they can directly listen to the orders of Japanese officers.

They took the train straight to Mexico City, but were intercepted by the American military, who asked them to retreat, and they asked the American military to retreat. The U.S. military said they were reinforcements invited by the Carlos government, and Wang Sheng told them that they were there to protect the expatriate, and that there were only 3,000 Chinese businessmen in Mexico City. The Americans say they will maintain law and order, and Wang Sheng says China has the ability and obligation to protect its own nationals.

The two sides fought fiercely, and in the end Wang Sheng gave in and did not enter the city, but ordered to camp at the railway station outside the city.

China and the United States confronted each other in Mexico, the Chinese military entered the Gulf of Mexico, Britain cooperated with the Americans, the Americas were turbulent, and the Mexican region was tense, and war seemed to break out at any time.
