In May 1920, the Mexican Civil War, which lasted two and a half years, finally ended with the victory of the URU.

The treacherous Carranza government was hopelessly kicked into the dustbin of history, and President Carranza fled to the United States with a group of cronies, unable to change the fact that Mexico had fallen into the arms of the allies, despite the support of the U.S. government and its ongoing efforts to subvert the new Mexican regime.

On 22 May, the new Mexican Republic was proclaimed, with a provisional government governed by a coalition of Zapatista and Villa. In the national elections held three months later, Zapata was elected president and Villa became prime minister, and under the new government, a vigorous agrarian revolution was launched throughout Mexico, with land and plantations occupied by large landowners and foreign capitalists nationalized and then distributed equally among landless peasants. American and British merchants suffered the most losses in this campaign, while German merchants and hacienda owners received special protection from confiscation by the Mexican government.

On the day of the establishment of the Mexican Republic, Germany was the first to declare its recognition of the Mexican Revolutionary Government as the legitimate Mexican government and to establish diplomatic relations with it at the ambassadorial level. Subsequently, the Allied powers of Japan, Hungary, Bohemia, Bulgaria, Romania, Ireland, and Britain established diplomatic relations with Mexico within a few days, and by 1924, only the United States, the British government in exile, Brazil, Argentina, and a few other countries refused to recognize the Zapatista regime.

With the assistance of the German government, Mexico began a large-scale post-war reconstruction, with railways and roads being put in the first place, the three major arteries of the German Railways, the Berlin Railway and the Gustav Railway running from north to south were completed, and hundreds of major roads in Mexico were also renovated. At the same time, the repair and expansion of major ports along the coast of Mexico is also underway. The most pleasing thing for the Mexican government is that the German government not only provided them with a large number of machinery and equipment, but also actively encouraged German businessmen to invest in cocoa plantations, mines and factories in Mexico, which undoubtedly greatly accelerated the pace of Mexico's revival.

Militarily, in return for the German government's long-standing support, the Mexican government leased six ports in the south, including Quachaquarcos, to the German government. Five areas in the central and southern parts of the country were to be used as overseas military bases for Germany. In addition, the Mexican government also entrusted the important task of reorganizing and training the army to the German affairs advisory group headed by General von Kolesenstein, and Rommel, who had outstanding performance in the war, was officially promoted to brigadier general of the German Army, and at the same time held the post of general of the Mexican Army, responsible for commanding the Mexican First Armored Division, which was mixed by Mexican soldiers and German soldiers, and all the equipment of the division was naturally provided by the German government, and in order to facilitate maintenance, the German government also established three "tractor factories" in southern Mexico 。 They gave the Mexican government a factory that could produce armored vehicles and light tanks, and the Mexicans praised the Germans for being their best friends.

Internationally, the United States vigorously resisted the German-sponsored Mexican revolutionary regime, not only uniting with South American countries to impose severe economic sanctions on the nascent Mexican Republic, but also provoking border disputes between the two countries from time to time. With the support of Germany and Japan and other countries, the Mexican government did not hesitate to severely retaliate against the provocations of the US government, and actively carried out economic cooperation with Eurasian countries. In exchange for Mexican cocoa beans, coffee, cotton, jade, rice, sisal and other agricultural products and silver, gold, cylinders, mercury, barite, petroleum and other mineral products. Until 1924. Mexico's GDP has tripled from 1920.

At this time, Zapata and his government had not forgotten the secret agreement with Germany to fight together against the United States, and the 2.3 million square kilometers of land that Mexico was forced to cede to the Americans in 1948. With the assistance of the Germans. They reduced the number of troops from 1.2 million to 800,000 and regularized them in terms of equipment, training and quality, in addition to acquiring a small fleet and an aviation unit from the Germans. For Mexicans, the opportunity for a bloody shame is coming.

In May 1924, the Guatemalan military staged a military coup d'état, ousting President Cavrera from power, and then declared that the military provisional government would take over power and impose military control throughout the country. Cabrera, known for his steering, was hanged by the military regime soon after, and people throughout Guatemala were in fear, looting and riots were commonplace, and some German expatriates and merchant properties were damaged.

In this case. It no longer matters who instigated this coup. Subsequently, the German government announced that it would send troops to protect the German diaspora in Guatemala, and the German ** teams stationed in Mexico and Guadeloupe took the lead, while the Mexican government also expressed its willingness to fully cooperate with the German government's action to protect the overseas Chinese, and sent a large number of troops to the southern Mexican border area under the pretext of protecting the border.

On 18 May, the German government officially decided to send the Royal German Combat Army to Guatemala. The United States, Britain, Canada, and other countries expressed strong protests, and the US Government even threatened to do whatever it could to prevent foreign countries from interfering in the internal affairs of North American countries, but the German Government ignored this.

On May 20, the Royal German Combat Army, under the leadership of Army General Olikarn, began to board ships in Wilhelmshaven and Bremerhaven in order to transport 320,000 German soldiers and military supplies in batches. Germany mobilized a total of 33 large and medium-sized cruise ships, 140 ocean-going freighters, and 107 naval transport ships, and organized an extremely large escort fleet with the 3rd Detachment of the German Atlantic Fleet, the 2nd and 3rd Fleets of the North Sea Fleet, and the Royal Fleet of the Kingdom of Britain.

On May 25, the Kaiser and his entourage arrived at the German military port of Wilhelmsport to see off the fleet that was about to set sail.

Because it was the first time since the war that an army group army was dispatched to fight overseas, this operation attracted the attention of the whole of Germany, and more than 100,000 citizens came to the port to see them off, and the scene was even more lively than the National Day military parade. Since 1920, the number of German airships has only decreased, but the German government has announced that it will replace all hydrogen airships with more safe and reliable helium airships within ten years, which naturally attracted the attention of the United States and Japan and other countries, but unfortunately the cost of helium extraction in this era has always been high, and the United States and Japan have spent a huge price to replace a small part of the airships with helium. But they soon discovered that the carrying capacity of the helium airship was nearly half that of the hydrogen type, so they finally slowed down the construction of the airship for nearly two years and invested heavily in research on the safety performance of the airship.

In fact, the German government has only built five new helium airships, and the limited funds have not been blindly invested in secondary equipment, but the propaganda war has once again proved its unique role.

On the viewing platform, 41-year-old Chentian, 40-year-old Dioli and 12-year-old Andres were chatting enthusiastically.

"Uncle Ollie, you will bring us a great victory. Is that right? The boy looked at him with admiration, a brilliant commander with command skills comparable to that of Moltke the Elder, and if nothing else, he would become the youngest field marshal of civilian origin in German history.

320,000 soldiers have become a heavy task entrusted to him by the empire at this moment, Ollie's expression is somewhat solemn, but in front of a pair of sons and daughters in Chen Tiandi, he still plays the role of a good-natured uncle as always.

"Don't worry, noble little prince, you have to study hard until I come back. Be sure to bring the best and best gifts to you! ”

"Could it be the Statue of Liberty?"

Little Andres's serious question made Ollie and Chen Tian stunned for a moment. The two of them burst out laughing.

"You've got a good suggestion for me, maybe we're going to drag that thing back!" Ollie said with a smile.

Tatsuten stroked the back of the boy's head. "Andres, your imagination is so rich! Just remember, you can't talk about these things to your teachers and classmates, it's a state secret, understand? ”

The young man replied very seriously: "Don't worry, father! ”

Chen Tian then straightened up and said to Ollie: "Pay attention to your body after you get there, and tell everyone not to worry, get used to the climate there in the first two months!" Although the situation in Mexico is relatively stable, there are many spies, so I advise everyone to be careful! ”

Ollie nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, Your Majesty! We will certainly live up to the expectations of you and the country! ”

Chen Tian patted his right arm, and then walked to an old army general not far away.

Heinz von Guderian, 36 years old, served as the commander of the German Royal Combat Army, the commander of the Panzer Corps, and was one of the Kaiser's most important army generals, commanding the most advanced armored corps in Germany.

After exchanging military salutes, Chen Tian stretched out his right hand, "General Guderian." Say hello to the unruly bad guys for me! ”

It sounded like they were referring to the Guatemalan military who staged the coup, but the German generals knew that they were referring to a different group of people. With the German government sending the Royal Combat Army, which outnumbered the Guatemalan army by several times, the situation could not have been clearer.

Guderian shook hands with Chen Tian very respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will let them know that it is powerful!" ”

"Don't take it lightly!" Chen Tian earnestly advised.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Guderian naturally knew the burden on his shoulders, as the most powerful assault force in the army group, his armored corps was equipped with the best German 280 tanks, 120 assault guns and 360 half-track armored vehicles, and the dive bomber group of the group army also gave priority to providing air cover for his army.

Later, Chen Tian also shook hands with the other generals of this group army one by one and comforted them, once they set out on the expedition, they would not be able to be with their families for a long time, both mentally and physically it was a kind of torment, so only the warriors with the strongest faith would be selected to go to the distant Americas.

At this time, in the huge harbor, hundreds of ships are moored on their respective docks, and the seven largest aircraft carriers are particularly eye-catching, they are the heavy aircraft carrier "Ernst" of the German aircraft carrier battle group, the medium aircraft carrier "Tirpitz", the "Alexander", the "Lewald", the escort aircraft carrier "Knobspdorf", "Ludwig" and "Hermann", the entire formation has 370 carrier-based aircraft, of which nearly half are combat reconnaissance planes and fighters. The rest were bombers and torpedo machines.

The other 5 ships were not inferior in size compared to aircraft carriers, and their hulls were more stocky than aircraft carriers with flat decks, and they were full of admirable graceful lines. As Germany's largest, fastest and most luxurious ocean liners, the 56,000-ton "Emperor", "Motherland" and "Bismarck", the 50,000-ton "Bremen" and "Europa" have joined the ranks of transporting German troops, and these five giant ships alone can transport 15,000 soldiers at a time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the ordinary soldiers of Germany could enjoy the luxurious treatment that only the nobles of ordinary times, because after disembarking, the long and arduous journey officially began.

Of course, the ships that can be called the giant class are indispensable for the seven battleships and crinkled battlecruisers in the escort fleet, "Graf", "August", "Saxony", "Baden", "King", "Prince William", and "Catherine" are lined up on the pier on the north side of the viewing ceremony, and the "Hindenburg", "Thessaloniki", and "Count Spee" are neatly arranged in the mooring area adjacent to the channel, which is already nearly one-third of the main warships of the German Navy. Even if it encounters the main force of the US Atlantic Fleet, it can cope with it easily.

In addition to the ships flying the German flag, there was also a small fleet moored in the harbor with the flag of St. James, that is, 3 heavy cruisers, 8 light cruisers and 17 destroyers of the Royal Fleet of the Kingdom of Britain. The ships in this fleet, all built by the shipyards of the Scottish Mercenary Company, will be overhauled and refitted in Williamshaven and will travel to the Americas with a large fleet of ships to take part in military operations against Canada and the British government-in-exile.

At 10 a.m., a military band of more than 700 people began to play "Germany above all else", and in this familiar melody, the ships in the harbor sounded their whistles as they carried the Germanic soldiers across the Atlantic to a new battlefield.
