In terms of territorial demarcation of Colombia, China proposes to divide the territory according to the watershed of the easternmost Andes Mountains (Cordillera Orientale). Like the Rocky Mountains of North America, the Andes Mountains, which straddle South America, are very wide in many places, not so wide that they are not like a mountain, but like a plateau, especially in Colombia, where they are wide and flat. Moreover, the Andes Mountains are also divided into three parallel Cordillera Mountains in the east, middle and west, and there are only narrow river valleys between the different mountain ranges, and these river valleys happen to be the birthplace of Indian civilization in those years, and after the destruction of these Indian civilizations in Spain, it was obviously easier to survive on the land they developed, so many important cities in early Spain were built on the mountains.

According to the easternmost principle, even Bogotá, the core of Spanish rule on the South American continent, would be included in Inca territory, because it was located right on the Cordillera Oriental.

Under the mediation of the United States, China made a large concession and divided its territory into the Magdalena River between the Eastern Cordillera and the Central Cordillera, and the valley was bisected by both sides, allowing China to meet the smallest demand and occupy a small stretch of coast in the Caribbean.

But this is not a face-saving situation for the United States, because Chinese influence has still infiltrated the Caribbean, and what really gives face is that China has accepted the request that the Navy will no longer be stationed in the Caribbean.

Obviously, the Americans no longer want to be the first to block China's access to the Caribbean, and as long as China does not set up a navy in the Caribbean, the United States will acquiesce.

This news is not good news, the Americans do not want to confront China anymore, then the Americans will continue to suppress Germany, obviously the Americans do not want the American region to be too complicated and become the territory of too many powers.

Of course, the United States will still regard China as the biggest threat, but the problem is that the United States does not have the courage to face this threat head-on, but it feels that Germany can be bullied. Germany received Mexican territory, which was much larger than later Mexico. In the north, the border between China and Mexico is bounded by the Colorado River and the Rio Grande River, and in the north is the Colorado Plateau, between which the two rivers correspond to the western states of Arizona and New Mexico in the United States, which belong to Mexico, which is a territory of more than 300,000 square kilometers. To the south, Mexican territory stretched south to the vicinity of the Panama Canal, where Guatemala and other later Central American countries combined for more than 500,000 square kilometers. Combined, these territories make what is now Mexico's territory about 3 million square kilometers.

This is much larger than the entire territory of Germany.

The Colorado Plateau, Arizona and other places in the north, although they belong to the arid and semi-arid climate, the desert and the Gobi are contiguous, but in recent years, Chinese companies have begun to operate here, and have discovered many high value-added minerals such as gold and copper mines, and cotton can also be grown near the two rivers.

These are all very valuable to Germany, and if we look at it only geographically, it should be that China and Germany have the greatest conflict.

But Bismarck absolutely does not want to confront China, he does not want to be a pawn of Britain, he will only be neutral, this is actually what the British can guess, and it is acceptable, Britain needs a force that does not fall to China and blocks the Chinese west of Mexico.

Germany and the United States should have had the least conflict, but the problem is that both countries are in a situation where they can't beat the barrier and can only fight Liu Bei, which makes the contradictions between the two countries look greater.

But to say that the contradictions are so big that a war breaks out, it is not unreasonable, the Europeans do not attach importance to the United States, the internal contradictions in the United States are too great, the differences between the North and the South, the differences between the state government and the federal government, make the United States more like a confederation than a federation, closer than the German Confederation before the reunification of Germany, and looser than the empire after the reunification of Germany.

Such a country cannot fight, and Bismarck attached importance to the United States, and only to the potential of the United States. He will not be afraid of the United States, if the United States wants to fight a trade war, Germany will fight with the United States. The United States imposed tariffs on German heavy industry, which affected the interests of Krupp and other giants, and Germany immediately imposed tariffs on American cotton. It can just be replaced by Mexican cotton, although the price of Mexican cotton is higher due to productivity and other economic constraints, but this loss is that the fertilizer does not flow to the fields of outsiders.

The question of the United States is second only to the question of whether Germany can rule Mexico, but the question of whether the German prince can gain a foothold in Mexico will soon be answered.

The German vanguard, escorted by the British Navy, landed on the beach near Veracruz, and then, in just one day, captured the port.

There was no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the German army, and Prince Wilhelm had even intended to use the Polish army, but Bismarck later changed his attitude, and he sent the Prussian army, the main force of 30,000 German troops, which not only easily captured the port, but also routed the same number of Mexican troops that came to the aid.

Without waiting for the follow-up troops, they advanced along the railway line towards Mexico City, along the way the Mexican army was simply unable to resist, and the large and small cities fell one after another, until they approached Mexico City, and the German army stopped advancing.

The Mexican army was quite difficult to face the two Sicilian armies before, the two Sicilian armies could not even beat the Italian army, and the Italian army was only second-rate in Europe, it can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Mexican army can compete with the third-rate army in Europe at best, while the German army has easily defeated the first-class Russian army, Austrian army and French army in Europe, and it can be said that it is the super-first-class army of this era.

The biggest trouble, as encountered by the two Sicilian armies, was the problem of transportation, the Germans could only move along the railway line, the Mexicans launched sneak attacks everywhere, and they could not guarantee transportation without the railway line, and they also sabotaged the railway many times, so that the German army was so annoyed that they had to stop attacking Mexico City.

A month later, a second reinforcement arrived, the Germans increased their strength to 60,000 men, and easily captured Mexico City, where Juárez fled to the north and continued his guerrilla warfare. German reinforcements abandoned the pursuit of Juarez in the north, and instead began to sweep south, and for Germany, the arid areas of the north were also of little value. There are many mineral resources, but the difficulty of development is prohibitive for Chinese, and the mining rights are still in the hands of Chinese companies, and there is no short-term interest in occupying where to go.

The Germans valued the agricultural land of the south more, and sent troops to quickly take the Yucatan Peninsula and other places, and captured the coastal plains before they began to sweep north.

By this time the German army had grown to 100,000 men, and was supported by a number of local native-born whites, who had been suppressed by Juarez and had lost all their wealth, and who were eager for King Leopold, who was also white, to help them.

But it is a pity that Leopold announced that he would inherit the policy of Juarez in the occupied area, and that he would not recover the white land that had been divided. Although Leopold declared his respect for the Mexican religion, he did not take back the religious estates from the Indians, and even he himself did not convert to Catholicism and remained Protestant.

Leopold obviously did not intend to cultivate his own lineage in Mexico, and the status quo was only to appease the Indians, and the native whites could not be the force to maintain his rule, and he did not enter into religion, so he did not intend to cultivate his power here. Obviously, the Germans recognized very well that the native-born white forces had been repeatedly attacked and could no longer bear the burden of helping him maintain his rule, and that the religious forces were too strong to be seen by the king, and that after being attacked by Juarez, Leopold took over the secularization of Mexico. As for the Indians, this national culture is backward and can only be at the bottom.

There was no support from the local ruling class, or what Leopold had inherited, was a Mexican society that had just beaten the old native-born white ruling class, the new Indian and mestizo ruling class, an agrarian society that had just undergone an agrarian revolution.

Leopold also maintained the parliamentary system of the regions, acquiescing to the local councils controlled by the mestizos and Indian elders, and was willing to share power with others as long as they recognized their royal power.

It is clear that Leopold's dominance was based only on the strong army he brought.

With the army as his backing, he began to implement a whole system, reforming the administrative apparatus, and sending provincial governors to represent the king, half of them were Germans who knew Spanish, and these people were to organize a new government, to retain a group, to stuff a group, to train a new group of civil servants, and to establish a German-style administrative system. Establishment of new judicial and police institutions. New taxes, customs agencies, new education, publishing regimes.

In Mexico, the German-style management system was implemented as much as possible, and a large number of senior German officials were installed.

This reform was bound to cause a fierce confrontation, and the German army of 100,000 began its long-term service here.

These reforms provoked a revolt in Mexico, but they were well received in Europe, where Germany was credited with bringing a new civilization to the Mexicans. Only Americans disagree, believing that Mexican politics is a complete regression, from a republic to a monarchy. Public opinion in the United States is more concerned with the bankrupt and homeless poor whites, as if the Germans were responsible for this.

The main reason why the United States began to have a bad perception of the Germans was that the conflict between Germany and the United States began to break out in full swing as the Germans squeezed into the already crowded Gulf of Mexico.

Politically, the United States took in Juarez, who had been driven out of Mexico by German troops, and the Leopold government wanted the United States to extradite Juarez, but the U.S. government refused.

Economically, the Leopold government recognized the nearly 100 million pounds of debt accumulated by the previous regimes, but did not agree to return to these capitalists some of the large plantations of American capitalists confiscated in the Juarez Agrarian Revolution, the Leopold government believes that it is a historical problem, they do not have the power to enforce the law retroactively, in fact, the Leopold government cannot do it, return a small number of American plantations to American capitalists, so what about the hundreds of thousands of native whites in their country who demand the return of their plantations, if they agree, The interests of nearly 10 million Indians would be harmed, and another uprising would not be far off.

In the past, although Mexico sided with China during the Carlos administration, Mexico had close economic ties with the United States, and the tariffs on Mexican products entering the United States were not high, and the tariffs on American goods entering Mexico were not high. But now, the United States has raised tariffs on Mexican agricultural exports to the United States, and Mexico has also raised tariffs on American industrial products by a large margin.

The decline in relations between the United States and Mexico reflects the intensification of the confrontation between the United States and Germany. The main reason why the United States wants to raise tariffs on Mexican agricultural products is that in the past, the Mexican trade on the Gulf side of Mexico was mainly operated by American merchant ships, and the main beneficiaries of the reduction of tariffs were actually American shipping companies, but now that the Germans are here, they quickly monopolize the Mexican shipping market, and the beneficiaries of low tariffs can only be German shipping companies. Allowing German shipping companies to benefit from U.S.-Mexico trade will only make them stronger in Mexico.

In addition, in terms of investment, U.S. investment in Mexico is mainly concentrated in southern Mexico, with some tropical fruit plantations and some minerals. But none of them are very large. This is mainly due to the fact that the United States itself has not yet fully developed, and the United States is still a country that attracts foreign investment rather than foreign investment.

Now that U.S. investment in Mexico has been largely destroyed by the Juárez government's revolution, German investment has poured into Mexico, completely depriving the U.S. of this investment space.
