It is absolutely no problem to use military means directly, but to use some other means, and for Reinhardt, it is easy to subvert the regime of a country and stimulate domestic emotions.

Having shifted his attention from the battlefields of Europe, Reinhardt now has to turn his attention entirely to Mexico.

Well, there are many ways to provoke their contradictions, and now, Mexico is succumbing to the force of the Americans, and does not dare to be too hot with Germany, but this obviously cannot last long.

Just as the conspiracy against Mexico was being laid out in the wolf's den, a meeting had just ended in the northernmost country in Latin America on the other side of the ocean.

The United Mexican States, a federal republic in North America, borders the United States to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south and west, the Caribbean Sea to the southeast, Belize and Guatemala, and the Gulf of Mexico to the east.

With an area of nearly 2 million square kilometers, it is the fifth largest country in the Americas and the 14th largest in the world.

Mexico is one of the centers of ancient civilization of the Indians on the American continent. It was the birthplace of the Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Mayan and Aztec cultures, the latter of which became the largest Aztec empire in pre-Columbian North America.

Originally, Mexico had a much larger territory, but in the Mexican-American War of the last century, it was annexed by the Americans. As an ancient country, Mexicans look far north and know that it is impossible to return.

Now, in the capital, Mexico City, in the presidential palace, the current president of Mexico, Manuel Ávila Camacho, is looking at his close aide, Miguel Alemán Valdés, with a wry smile on his face.

Camacho was a soldier who was born on April 24, 1897 in Tsiyouran, Puebla. He joined Carranza's army in 1915 as a lieutenant and was eventually promoted to general. From 1937 to 40, he served as Minister of Defence in the government headed by President Lázaro Cárdenas. He was nominated by the ruling Mexican Revolutionary Party in 1940 to be elected president of Mexico.

Although a military man, he did not have much seriousness and iron-willedness, on the contrary, he was known for his moderation, and during his tenure he reconciled with the Catholic Church, pursued moderate domestic policies, added schools and hospitals, advocated for social security laws, and supported limited social reforms. His rapprochement with the United States and the resolution of the long-standing dispute over oil property between the two countries allowed Mexico to take advantage of World War II to achieve economic development.

Compared with him, his assistant Valdés was a man of letters, but a man of ideas, and in later generations, when Camacho went down, Valdés took over as president, stopping the previous radical social reforms.

Now, the two have just sent off the U.S. ambassador to Mexico.

The Americans were somewhat unhappy with Mexico's statement.

"Now, Germany's goal is to occupy the whole world, Europe has fallen, America is Germany's last goal, the Germans want to enslave us, and until now, Mexico is still ridiculously promoting neutrality!" The words of the American ambassador seemed to ring in the ears of the two men: "Mexico must immediately declare war on Germany, mobilize its troops, and participate in this great war!" Don't look at the current Germans' aggressiveness, the Germans will definitely fail in the end! ”

The aggressiveness of the American ambassador and the Ribbentrop whom they had secretly met a few days ago were simply two extremes, and Ribbentrop gave the impression that he was suave and very personable.

Americans, must be crazy.

Why did Mexico enter the war? This is a war that has nothing to do with Mexico.

Germany wants to use Mexican land as a springboard, but Mexico will not agree, and now, if the United States wants to force Mexico to declare war on Germany, Mexico will not either.

"Americans aren't going to give up like that." "They're definitely going to make a fuss about oil and force us to back down," Valdés said. ”

Oil is Mexico's wealth, but, like other colonies, oil has always been monopolized by foreign oil monopolies, mainly British and American oil giants.

The British and Americans monopolized the Mexican oil industry, propped up puppets, plundered land, and brutally exploited the vast majority of working people. However, the Mexicans have stood up!

In order to get rid of the economic exploitation of foreign monopolies and maintain national sovereignty, on March 18, 1938, the Cárdenas government announced that the United States and Britain would be 17 stones

The entire oil industry of the oil companies was nationalized, and its capital was repaid in ten years.

Of course, Mexico's action was fiercely opposed by US and British imperialism. They resorted to economic blockades, diplomatic pressure, and other measures in an attempt to force the Mexican government to retract its mandate. Domestic reactionary forces also instigated sabotage, burned oil wells, and undermined nationalization. And there was also the outbreak of the Zedillo rebellion.

But Mexico persevered, and on May 13, 938, Mexico severed diplomatic relations with Great Britain, and then put down a rebellion at home. government

A special fund was set up with donations from the people to repay the capital of foreign companies, while at the same time taking advantage of the contradictions between imperialism to sell oil to Germany, Italy and Japan.

The government transferred all the assets of the nationalized foreign companies to the management of Petroleos Mexicanos. The nationalization of oil was victorious.

However, the Americans have never acknowledged this, and in the eyes of the Americans, Mexico's actions are a big rebellion, and now, the Americans are even more aggressive, trying to force Mexico to make concessions.

For example, if Mexico agrees to nationalize Mexico's oil in stages, but Mexico has to declare war on Germany, and even send troops to participate in this war, what will Mexico do when the time comes?

Historically, Mexico remained neutral in World War I, and in World War II, it declared war on the Axis powers, and even sent an air force to fight in the Pacific theater, becoming a post-war capital.

Now, the situation is different, and as a small country, neutrality is the best option.

Hearing Valdés' words, Camacho also nodded helplessly, yes, this time the American ambassador left angrily, and the next step must be to continue to make a fuss about oil.

"We have to defend our oil interests." "This is the most meaningful initiative President Cárdenas has made for our country, and it has a bearing on the future of our Mexico," Camacho said. ”

Core interests are non-exchangeable, and next, I am afraid that we will drift away from the United States, but Camacho does not want to take refuge in Germany, just like Turkey, stupidly fighting, what is the benefit in the end?

What Mexico needs is stability, development, not war.
