On June 17, Zhang Wei held a military meeting in San Antonio, Texas, to prepare for the south.

Also present at the meeting were Hua Guoqiang, chief of the general staff of the Lu State, Song Shijie, premier of the Lu State Council, Bai Yuqing, chief of staff of the Southern Theater, Kong Xiangwei, chief of staff of the Southern Theater of the Lu State, Li Jingfa, ambassador to the United States, and Jin Youyi, director of the intelligence department of the Lu State.

Ambassador Li Jingfa first gave a briefing on the state of the US Government.

Due to the war against the United States, the United States industry and commerce were depressed, the unemployment rate remained high, the people lived in poverty, and there was an urgent shortage of food and other daily necessities, and under the internal and external troubles, the presidential election was not held in accordance with the normal procedures in 1908, and Theodore Roosevelt was re-elected president.

Secretary of the Army Taft is now in charge of recruiting and logistics in the United States, and Arthur MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the front, is in the port of Havana, Cuba.

In order to alleviate the pressure on the domestic economy and transfer the excessive population, the United States launched a war against Cuba in early January this year under the pretext that Cuba was at war when the United States was at war, confiscating American assets and expelling Americans, and plundered a large amount of sugar, rice, metal, and other materials from Cuba.

The three-pronged war against Mexico at the end of February had the same justification as the occupation of Cuba.

The first route landed in Merida and occupied the entire Yucatan Peninsula, a coastal plain region rich in rice to meet the food needs of the United States;

The second route landed in Puerto Veracruz in preparation for an attack on Mexico City;

The third road landed from Tampico and headed north along the eastern plains in preparation for the capture of Monterrey.

The U.S. military frantically plundered the territory they occupied, obtained a lot of material wealth, and inspired more Americans to join the army, and now the number of active duty soldiers in the United States has reached 2 million, and many Canadian militiamen have also joined the U.S. military after arriving in the United States, and began to fight abroad to participate in the feast of plundering wealth.

At the same time, the war also stimulated the recovery of the U.S. shipping industry, which needed to transport a large number of military personnel to the front, ammunition to the front, and loot from the front to return home, all of which required a large number of transport ships.

Zhang Wei thought to himself, let's plunder hard, in addition to food, most of the plundered wealth will go into the pockets of the empire, and the guns and ammunition needed by the United States for the war must be imported from Lu; The oil needed is imported from the country; There is also a huge amount of compensation for the return of the Xia Empire.

More importantly, I hope that the United States will destroy these places, displace the local people, and even greatly reduce the population due to the lack of food, and then the empire can easily take over these territories, and then no matter what policy the empire adopts, it can splash dirty water on the Americans.

At the same time, let the Japanese mercenaries plunder again when the time comes, and the local tens of millions of people will only be left with strong bodies, who happen to be slaves of the empire.

Ambassador Li Jingfa asked curiously: "Your Majesty, the United States has plundered so much wealth so easily, and the empire's army is stronger than the United States, why does the empire not send troops?" The plundered wealth is the income of the empire. “

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Public opinion, we can't control public opinion now, we can't be enemies of the world, the United States belongs to white people, and their robbery is a normal behavior, and it is an internal contradiction between them whites; Our robbery is a challenge to the entire white West, you know, 90% of the people in Mexico are white or of white descent; Besides, the materials looted by the United States, except for the most indispensable food in the empire and left for the Americans to eat, other materials will enter the pockets of the empire through various means, you don't have to worry. “

Subsequently, Lu Guo's intelligence minister Jin Youyi gave a briefing on the progress of the US military.

Cuba was a former colony of Spain, but after the Spanish-American War in 1898, Cuba became a colony of the United States, and when the United States and the Empire were at war, Cuba expelled American forces, confiscated American assets, and declared its freedom from American control.

This time, with its powerful navy, the United States successfully landed in the port of Havana, Cuba, and then defeated the Cuban army, completely controlled Cuba, and finally sent 240,000 troops to carry out frenzied plundering of Cuba.

Moreover, the United States used Cuba as a transit point for attacking Mexico and diverting the wealth plundered in Mexico.

The port of Havana, in particular, is now a barracks and distribution center for the United States military, and all Cubans have been expelled from the port.

The United States sent its navy to successfully defeat the Mexican navy, seize sea supremacy, and then successfully landed the land under the protection of the navy.

Now the U.S. First Route Army, with 240,000 men and 20 infantry divisions, has completed its campaign objectives and occupied all the territory south of Veracruz, which is frantically plundering.

The U.S. Third Route Army, with 360,000 men and 30 infantry divisions, has now occupied the city of Monterey and is sending troops to rob several states bordering the country of Lu, and the intention of the U.S. army is to rob from the north to the south.

The U.S. Second Route Army, with 370,000 men, 30 infantry divisions and two heavy artillery brigades, attacked from Caldovia and Jarap, respectively, and has now occupied the city of Puebla and is approaching Mexico City.

Because Mexico is vast and sparsely populated, as long as it seizes towns, it can plunder a large amount of wealth, and in the past ten years, Mexico has vigorously developed railways, so that after the US army occupies the city, it is easy to control the railway line, creating convenient conditions for transporting looted materials.

Moreover, Mexican agriculture implements the capitalist large-scale farm model, so even robbing the countryside is very convenient, there is no need to rob every household, as long as you conquer the fortress or township or county seat where the farmer is located, you can obtain a large amount of food and wealth, which makes the robbery efficiency greatly improved.

However, the consequences were very serious, after the US army looted the farm, the serfs who depended on the farm lost their food source and were starved to death in large numbers.

Mexico was unable to sufficien itself in food, and a large number of peasants and serfs were struggling to die, and now it has been made worse by the large-scale plundering by the United States, and I don't know how many people will be left in Mexico after the war.

It was the Second Route Army, which was fiercely resisted, and was now the slowest to advance; Because when the U.S. military occupied Cuba, Mexican President Porfirio Díaz received the news that he also confiscated the assets of the Americans, and was also afraid of retaliation from the Americans, so he mobilized troops in advance and made careful deployments.

He guessed that the American offensive route must have been to capture the port of Veracruz and then march on Mexico City.

President Porfirio Díaz deployed heavy troops in Orisaba and Perrotte and took advantage of the favorable terrain to engage in fierce battles with American troops, resulting in heavy casualties among American troops.

Due to the transfer of troops from all over the country to block the US Second Route Army, the defense in other areas was empty, and the US First and Third Route Armies advanced very quickly.

Another consequence was the outbreak of serf and peasant uprisings of varying degrees throughout Mexico.

The consequence of the peasant and serf uprising was that no one continued to engage in agricultural cultivation, and it was interesting to wonder what the rebels ate after the looted grain had been consumed.

Chief of General Staff Feng Guohua analyzed the strategic intentions of the US military, firstly, after the First Route Army has seized the southern region, it will definitely open the defensive line in the direction of Guatemala, so that the Mexicans who have lost food in the southern region and those who have fled from the north will enter Guatemala in large numbers, and the First Route Army will fully support the Second Route Army in the battle; The Third Army, having seized the northern states, began to loot and advance southward, driving the Mexicans south.

The Americans understood the mind of the Empire, and it was necessary to cooperate with the strategic intentions of the Empire, and the other work done during the robbery was also to facilitate the Empire's smooth reception of these places in the future.

Jin Youyi said: "The analysis of the chief of the general staff is very correct, the Americans did not destroy Mexico's oil extraction, mining and other equipment, only looted textile mills, wineries, etc., did not wreak havoc, and did not destroy the city's housing, schools, banks, roads and other infrastructure, I think they are afraid that the empire will find them trouble in the future." “

Bai Yuqing said: "The commander of the US army has a problem with his strategic thinking, the troops are divided into three routes, the goal is to rob, the number of troops on the second road is smaller, and the focus should be on strengthening the second road, and occupying Mexico City first is the key." “

Feng Guohua said: "You are not right, there is no problem with the strategy of the United States, their goal is to rob, use the middle lane to contain most of the Mexican army, the other two roads to rob smoothly, and then encircle Mexico City, the effect of this is that the robbery speed is fast, and the resistance encountered during the robbery is minimal; If Mexico City had been captured first, it would have provoked Mexican resistance; As long as the president of Mexico is not eliminated, the majority of the people of Mexico will not stand on the same line with the president to resist the US military; You know, the president is also an enemy of the Mexican rebels. “

Jin Youyi continued: "Now, Mexican President Porfirio Díaz is organizing the defense of Mexico City, preparing for a decisive battle with the United States; Although he ruled as a dictatorship for more than 30 years and was very unpopular, there were still many people who hated the Americans more because of the first Mexican-American War, so the number of troops loyal to him was still quite large, but the combat effectiveness was not high; Moreover, the robbery of the Americans, the forces that frightened the central states of Mexico were quickly integrated and unanimously fought a decisive battle against the United States; However, Porfirio Díaz is also not optimistic about the future of Mexico, and he once lamented that "unfortunate Mexico is so close to the United States and so far from God!" So in the end, the Americans won the war."

Bai Yuqing said with emotion: "The United States will definitely win, but this speed is too slow, which makes people anxious to wait." “

Hua Guoqiang said: "What's the hurry, your army is not complete, the supplementary personnel are not in place, and after the run-in is in place, I estimate that this war will be over, and you are just needed to appear." “

Jin Youyi continued to report: "The US military has hoarded a large amount of war materials in the port of Santiago in Cuba, and the troops have also begun to transport them to the port of Santiago. “

Zhang Wei instructed: "The Ministry of Intelligence and the Southern Theater of Operations should pay close attention to the movements of the US military in Mexico, and communicate privately with the US troops. The Government Council and the Southern Theater should ensure the supply of baggage for the Southern Theater and provide assistance as soon as possible if the Southern Theater encounters difficulties.
