The operational staff building of the General Staff Headquarters under the Ministry of National Defense of the Tang Dynasty has now become the command system of the Tang Army, the base camp for commanding this war, the command headquarters of the West Coast Theater, and the senior officers and staff officers of the General Staff Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense.

These days, not only Xu Daorun is stationed in the building as the commander of the theater of operations, but even Bai Nan is always in charge, and in his capacity he is basically the most powerful person in this building, but Bai Nan is very careful about his own way and will not trespass, it is all Xu Daorun, the real commander, who is giving orders, but he will also put forward some opinions for the people in the command for reference.

"Now our military advances in the Colorado Plateau and northwestern Mexico are going well, and the Spanish side has hardly reacted to our rapid advance. There is also a certain political instability in their country because of the relationship between Carlos IV who has just ascended the throne, and the wife of the new monarch, Luisa, the princess from the Duchy of Parma, is a complete scheming, and she has teamed up with the powerful minister Manuel? Morality? Godoy, who is crowding out and striking out the heroes and generals before Carlos III. And the differences of opinion in Spain are also more serious, some more realistic people believe that Spain does not have the strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty, if the Tang Dynasty really launches a large-scale war with tens of thousands of people, then Spain will send troops from the mainland, and the country may go bankrupt after a war, so these people advocate peace with the Tang Dynasty. On the other hand, the spokesmen of the new capitalist class and the lower aristocracy, out of the need to regain the domestic market and develop the country's industry and commerce, demanded that Spain must fight this battle. And wanted to unite other European powers. Let's take a loss once and for all. Moreover, they hope that through victory in the war, they can get some of the fruits of our industrial technology and use them for themselves. Bai Nan sat in his seat and drank tea.

Xu Daorun said with a smile: "These Spaniards are actually no different from the Apache in the degree of ignorance, the British are understanding us in various ways, and they have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to achieve any victory against us in the same military situation in twenty or thirty years, but the Spaniards obviously do not have this awareness." Rather. Our intelligence department is also very powerful, and this matter in Spanish politics, whether it is on the table or in the secret, is so clear. ”

Bai Nandao: "We have been operating in Spain for many years, and the national and national consciousness of European countries is not as heavy as ours, under the temptation of interests, many people will betray Spanish intelligence, and even the agents of our Ministry of National Security have developed a line of some high-ranking and powerful officials in Spain, and they do not refuse to accept our benefits, and then share some important information with us." This is the case in Europe right now. ”

Xu Daorun said: "In this way, it is impossible for Spain to provide any support to Mexico and other American colonies in a short period of time. That's a big plus for us. It seems that we need to speed up our march to occupy Mexico and Central America as appropriate. In addition to the offensive of the Seventh Brigade in the interior, our command has also prepared two other routes for the comprehensive occupation of Mexico and Central America, one is our newly formed Eighth Brigade and the Ninth Brigade, with the cooperation of the mixed foreign brigade, to march from Pengzhou, enter Texas, and then continue to launch an offensive along the Gulf Coast. On the other hand, the main elite units of our West Coast Theater, the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade, also landed directly in Puerto Vallarta in the form of landing, entering Jalisco, Kolima, Michoacán and other places. In this way, the two armies we sent from the east and west sides would be able to encircle the heart of the Mexican colony, Mexico City, from the east and west, and it would be best to keep the colonial defenders in charge. ”

Then he said: "We actually have additional troops to invest, the Ministry of Defense has prepared three reserve brigades, which can be immediately put into the war, and we have transferred 10,000 soldiers from the Yamato Corps from Ou, so that we can take out 30,000 to 40,000 troops on the western front, and this strength is probably the limit of the Spanish defenders in the Mexican colonies." We were still able to come up with 15,000 troops on the eastern route, plus the 7th Brigade, so that the scale was more than 50,000 people, and we completely overwhelmed the Mexican side in terms of troops. ”

"It's not just that, in fact, the dominance of the Spaniards in Mexico has been declining year by year, especially in the case of our intervention, the contradictions between the Spanish Peninsula and the native whites and Indians have been intensified by us, and in recent years, the activities of the Mexican National Revolutionary Party have also become more and more intense, and we have recruited a lot of Mexicans with some power and influence.

Xu Daorun frowned and said: "But we fought this war, spending maybe tens of millions of military spending, just to get the land of Mexico, if we fight an independent Mexico in the end, even if we crossed the relationship similar to the relationship between the United States and Mexico, it is a bit of a loss, after all, we have a more profitable way." ”

Bai Nan nodded and said: "Therefore, when we are cultivating the Mexican National Revolutionary Party, unlike the South American Revolutionary Party, we have always emphasized that if Mexico joins our Tang Republic, it will have a better future." Moreover, Mexico is close enough to us, and the strong and affluent life of Datang has increasingly affected a group of Mexicans. In an era when there was no nationalism, whoever could give them the best life would be willing to be, and of course, once we did acquire Mexico, we would immigrate there in large numbers and change the local population structure, which was something they wouldn't have thought of. ”

Xu Daorun said: "The direction of Mexico is our main military focus, but in the Colorado Plateau, we have also set up thousands of troops to sweep the Apaches, we have not caught the White Mountain, the guy named Esquat has fled to the east to unite more Apaches, and there is even evidence that they also intend to contact the Comanches to deal with us together."
