677: Gunsmoke from the United States
On September 22, 1911, Mexico suddenly sent a notice to the United States to negotiate, which was very strong and used more words than invitations or offers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This attitude of Mexico directly shows the United States the fact that they are not good at this time.
On September 22, September 25, and September 28, Mexico sent three notices to the United States over a period of six days regarding the sovereignty of Mexican territory illegally annexed by the United States in the Second Mexican-American War.
These territories have a total of 2.3 million square kilometers, including California, New Mexico and Texas, which occupy half of the total territory of Mexico.
In the eyes of future generations, the Americans have only seized the territory of the three large Mexican states, and the combined three states do not seem to be as large as 2.3 million square kilometers when viewed from the map.
But in fact, after the United States occupied these three states, in order to facilitate the rule and remove the traces of Mexico, so these states made new adjustments and new regional divisions, and in later generations, the Americans occupied a total of eight Mexican states in that war.
The eight states include California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas.
It can be said that half of the western United States is now taken from Mexicans, which is why Mexicans are willing to cooperate with the Chinese, and the Chinese do not even have to worry about whether the Mexicans will faithfully travel their duties.
Because Mexicans will definitely go to the United States to get back the territory that originally belonged to them, and the Mexican-American War also made Mexicans form a nationalist view that has been lacking since the founding of the country, that is, before this war, Mexicans did not see the honor and disgrace of the country at all, but after that, Mexicans realized this problem and have always held a grudge against the United States.
In order to maintain secrecy, the Mexican authorities recruited 5 million middle-aged workers from the country in just a few years, and after being recruited, these young middle-aged men were sent directly to the mountains of the southern region for training, and they were trained by a team of instructors secretly sent from China.
And the Mexicans, who have a nationalist outlook, do not have an obvious rejection of training, and even one by one they exert enough energy to train, and they can't immediately go to the battlefield to take back the territory invaded by the Americans.
And in the same way, for the sake of secrecy, these Mexicans who joined the military camp have never returned home from the beginning, and their families even think that these people are just laborers requisitioned by the government, and they have found some resources in the mountains, and they need to cut down trees, open up mountains and roads, or something.
And these more than 5 million Mexican troops have also received military support from China, they were equipped with Japanese Type 30 rifles retired from the Chinese army in the early days, but the Type 30 rifles in the Mexican environment, showing a great lack of adaptation, often do not sound in the rainforest, and even cause more serious problems.
So the Chinese side had to redevelop a new rifle for the Mexicans, in fact, there was no need to develop it, just follow Mauser 1898, it was nothing more than a slight weakening of the performance in all aspects.
Over the years, China has provided Mexico with more than 4 million rifles, as well as countless bullets, and provided Mexico with equipment for two arsenals and four ammunition factories.
Moreover, although the Mexican army is not equipped with tanks, it is also equipped with another completely new weapon, anti-tank guns, and the number of such artillery is not small, they began to enter service with the Mexican army a year ago.
The Mexicans did not wait for a response from the Americans after three announcements in a row, and at this time, the Mexicans had endured for so many years, and now they are strong and strong, and they have no intention of talking to the Americans anymore.
On October 1, Mexico officially submitted a war letter to the United States, and Mexico officially declared war on the United States. What's going on? Why did the Mexicans suddenly declare war on the United States? And where did they get their courage?
And Americans are more worried about whether Mexicans will learn the same strategy that the United States used during the Mexican-American War. That is, war without a declaration?
But the Americans quickly reacted that the Mexicans might be bluffing, because until October 15, half a month after Mexico declared war, the United States still did not receive news of Mexicans entering American territory.
You must know that the defense capability of the United States is actually not strong, although most of the troops are deployed in the part connected with Mexico, but the United States only has more than 200,000 troops combined.
A week later, the United States still has not received the news of Mexico's offense, but at this time the Americans may also realize something, the Mexicans will definitely not declare war on the United States for no reason, they are likely to be preparing something, and the previous declaration of war, it may be that the Americans ignored three notices in a row and felt angry, just to save some face.
However, on October 26, to the surprise of the White House, they suddenly received a telegram from the border area, and the U.S. military discovered that a large number of Mexican troops were being frequently mobilized on the other side, and the number of Mexican troops was far beyond imagination, which was definitely not something that the U.S. military could contend with.
On October 27, the U.S. Congress formally passed a war proposal that would allow the government to declare war on Mexico and expand its military. In the afternoon of the same day, the U.S. government responded to Mexico, and a declaration of war was sent to the Mexican embassy, and at this time the Mexican side had already prepared everything, and after receiving the U.S. declaration of war, the Mexican embassy directly packed up, took a train to the port, and then directly boarded the ship returning home.
Before that, Mexico had sent the Mexicans back to the United States several years in advance, and the embassy stayed only to get a declaration of war, and besides, they were protected, and even if the Americans declared war on Mexico, they had to give them a certain amount of time to leave the United States, and the United States could not attack them until then.
On 28 October, the US Military Department formally approved the expansion plan, which will expand the US Army to 1 million troops and expand a reserve force with a strength of no less than 1.5 million.
In fact, the U.S. military also took advantage of this opportunity to develop the army, and at the same time, it was also considered to prepare for the future European war, and finally whether it joined the Entente or the Allies, the United States must send troops.
In the eyes of the US military department, Mexico's declaration of war this time actually happened to give the United States an opportunity to train its troops, and the Mexicans have never been very strong in the impression of the Americans, so the Americans did not take Mexico's declaration of war seriously at all.
But to the surprise of the Americans, on October 30, Mexico mobilized 22 divisions and 500,000 troops in the border area, and these troops instantly broke through the American defense line, and those American troops did not even have the will to resist, and after killing hundreds of American troops, the rest of the American troops either fled or surrendered.
Although the United States is very powerful, they also have their drawbacks, for example, now, the United States does not have many available troops at all, and when the Americans form an army and can put it into battle, it will take at least half a year, and half a year is already enough for them to do a lot of things.
And in the western part of the United States, there are still a large number of Mexican-Americans living in the former Mexican territories occupied by the United States, and although the American mind has been deeply rooted in the minds of these people after decades, there are still many people who still want to return to Mexico.
And Mexico, at the suggestion of the Chinese staff, made full use of these Mexican-Americans who were eager to return. Moreover, the Chinese staff officers also developed a complete set of strategic plans for the Mexicans.
Mexico was in a honeymoon phase with China, so they were happy to accept the Chinese's proposal.
The end result was that by the beginning of December, more than 2 million Mexican troops had occupied most of Texas, all of New Mexico, all of Arizona, southern Colorado, southern Utah, southern Nevada, and most of California.
In just over a month, the Mexicans recovered three-quarters of the lost land, and the resistance of the Americans can almost be ignored, those civilians want to resist, but as long as they dare to show the intention of resistance, the Mexican army will eliminate them all, and those who do not have the intention of resisting will learn from the Chinese in Japan, build a large number of concentration camps, and then place the Americans in them and send troops to guard them.
At the same time, the entire Asian region, except for parts of West Asia and the Philippines, has been embraced by the Chinese.
While occupying these areas, the Chinese also gathered all the ships of more than 100 tons, and these ships also made the Chinese Navy instantly leap to the first place in the world in terms of transportation capacity.
The day after Mexico declared war on the United States, thousands of troop carriers departed from Japan carrying five heavily armed Japanese infantry divisions, escorted by an aircraft carrier battle group, to Mexico, passing through Mexico, Texas, and heading for the central region of the United States.
At the same time, three Korean divisions, escorted by a naval fleet, set off immediately behind the Japanese infantry division.
