Chapter 447: The Death of Dias
Theodore Roosevelt had a fairly accurate estimate of the limits of China's military deployment on the North American battlefield, and if the losses of both sides in this offensive were increased tenfold, the Chinese would have to desperately transport troops and supplies from the country if they wanted to hold all the mountain passes, but in that case, the burden on China's economy would be too great, and the United States would be able to win this war of attrition with the advantage of comprehensive national strength and supply efficiency. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info And like the current state of "trickling water and long streaming", China can completely adhere to it for a long time, not to mention three or five years, even if it is fought for ten years, or even a thirty-year war, it can still hold on, but the United States cannot bear such long-term blood loss, because the consumption of such a fight will no longer be mainly national strength, but population, but how can the population of the United States be compared with China?
Realizing that it was absolutely impossible for the United States to defeat the west of the Lower Mountains, President Roosevelt could only pin his hopes on the development of new weapons, but how could new weapons that could upset the balance of the battlefield be successfully developed within a few months and equipped with a large number of troops for actual combat?
And under the current situation that Theodore Roosevelt has been criticized for his continuous failures in the past year, if the US military is unable to achieve an inspiring victory for a long time, I am afraid that even the oligarchs behind the US government will be disappointed, and the capitalists are all pursuing profits, even if the Roosevelt family is its own people in this group, if there is no hope of victory for a long time, the idea of advocating compromise and peace will definitely gain more and more of the upper hand, at least the ability of Roosevelt as president will be questioned and his position will be difficult to secure, then it will be very dangerous......
Insisting on a strong attack will only cost the troops in vain, and if you wait to do nothing, it will not work, so what should you do? Theodore Roosevelt saw the anti-bone boy in the south of the United States on the big map and suddenly had an idea......
Shortly after the failure of the U.S. military attack on the Rocky Mountain defense line, the U.S. Army's First Army, which had just cleared out some Mexican armed forces (not regular armies) that had just taken advantage of the chaos in the winter to make trouble, moved south and launched a full-scale attack on the anti-bone Mexico, and the scale of the Three Kingdoms War was further expanded, even if only the countries whose territory was invaded, there were already full five!
In less than a week, Mexican President Díaz, fearing that the United States would retaliate and try his best to strengthen the defense line of the North Bravo River in winter, completely collapsed, and the number of dead and missing Mexican troops exceeded 30,000, and 50,000 or 60,000 became prisoners of war for the Americans.
Such a small loss was only a drop in the bucket for the powerful American First Army, which crossed the border and continued to drive southward, soon capturing most of the cities on the eastern coast of Mexico and launching an offensive on the Mexican plateau.
Seeing that the country was about to die, although Mexican President Díaz scolded the Chinese who had caused this crisis N times in his heart, he still had to beg the Chinese ambassador to Mexico, who had been replaced, with a shy face, to fulfill his original promise to let him and his family take refuge in China. However, to his astonishment, the Chinese ambassador and embassy staff all said that they would stay side by side with the Mexican people to resist the enemy and would never abandon them, and they also unceremoniously rebuked Díaz for his shamelessness in running away as president, and demanded that he scrupulously abide by his duties as president and continue to lead the Mexican military and civilian resistance to the aggression of the US military......
As far as what he has done before, it may not end well if he really surrenders to the Americans, but for China, it is indeed a threat, and Dias is obviously using this to exert pressure to force the Chinese ambassador to fulfill his promises. But Dias overestimated the other party's discipline, and did not expect the power of new technology, just when he was furious, the inconspicuous tape recorder in the room recorded his words word for word......
Historically, the tape recorder was not invented until the 1920s, but this time and space because of the influence of Li Hui, a time-traveler, China has been successfully developed two years ago, and after many improvements, it has reached the stage where it can be popularized and applied, but outside of China, very few people know this, including Dias, who will take it for granted that it is a radio after seeing it. After Díaz failed to achieve his goal and left in a rage, the Chinese ambassador handed over the tape as evidence of Dias's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal to the Mexican Datong Party, which has now grown to more than 10,000 members, and the latter immediately used this as an excuse to launch an uprising with the slogan "Punish the country and the thief, defend against foreign insults." And then Díaz was tragic......
In peacetime, Diaz, who had a firm grip on military power, could easily send out a regular army to suppress the uprising, but now the Mexican army has suffered heavy losses and heavy losses, its morale is extremely low, and its combat effectiveness is not as good as before. In addition, the Mexican army expanded too quickly after entering the war, which not only led to a serious decline in the quality of personnel, but also Dias's ability to control the army was not as good as before.
To add insult to injury, the rebels were far more combat-ready than he had imagined, armed with a large number of submachine guns, light machine guns and mortars, compared to which the Mexican government forces looked more like a rabble, and less than a week later, the rebels took full control of the capital, Mexico City. Under the protection of a few cronies, Dias finally fully understood that all this was a Chinese conspiracy, and he could only flee to the occupied area of the American army.
Then, without even giving Dias a chance to be tried in public, the cavalry cut off his head and brought it back to the capital, while the headless body of the great dictator who had ruled Mexico for more than thirty years was discarded in the wilderness for vultures to peck at......
