From the beginning of this war to the present, the Datang side has the absolute initiative. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Tang people dispatched troops quickly, vigorously and resolutely, and were invincible. On the other hand, the Spanish side could not even talk about the advance and retreat, and there was no reaction at all. In fact, the Spaniards can't really be regarded as unresponsive, but this war mode of the Tang people has refreshed the understanding of war among the entire Europeans.

A week after the two mercenaries under Captain Perez had defected to the Tang, there was already a large amount of evidence in Europe that the Tang had published in the newspapers. From photographs of the two Mexican mercenaries to their detailed accounts of the entire bombing incident, including where Colonel Perez got the high explosives, who handled them, the details of Perez's actions and psychological motives, how he transferred the explosives package to the Apaches, and how much he benefited from it. Moreover, in this confession, although there was no endorsement from Governor Flores, a number of officials of the New Spanish colonies were involved, that is, the local Spanish officials were aware of and acquiesced in the incident.

Basically, people who have the ability of rational thinking and logical analysis, after reading these contents, can basically determine that even if this report has a certain amount of moisture, it should be generally true, and the Spaniards played an inglorious role in the bombing incident that caused heavy casualties among the Tang people, and it can even be said that they were one of the direct promoters. Then it is very natural for the Tang people to be angry with Spain, and there are even some Europeans who are sympathetic to the Tang people. After all, in the understanding of Europeans, the Tang Dynasty is a civilized country of different colors, while the Apache people are a barbaric race, so they will naturally tend to be civilized.

But understanding is understanding, sympathy is sympathy, and the speed of the Tang people is too fast. In London, Paris, Lisbon, Berlin, and Amsterdam, the foreign language editions of Datang Daily showed Europeans their military progress in almost real time. It's just a matter of weeks. Needless to say, New Mexico, which was basically under the control of the Tang people, had already broken through into the colony of New Spain from different directions. One city after another was breached by the Don army, and both the Spanish colonial government and the colonial army panicked to deal with it. Even on the third day of the destruction of Puerto Vallarta, there were already relevant battles in the newspapers of London.

In the prime minister's residence at 10 Downing Street, British Prime Minister William Pitt Jr., who is not yet 30 years old, held an English version of the Datang Daily and said to his friend Wilberforce: "This is really unbelievable." The Tang people are refreshing the world's new understanding of military affairs, and they are moving too fast, and in what a short time, the Tang people have already broken through hundreds of kilometers on the mountainous Mexican land. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has a strong navy and powerful seafaring capabilities, which allows them to easily open up new battlefields along the coast, and now that the port of Vallarta has been conquered by them, they can echo the other forces that have already entered Durango. The next one is probably Guadalajara, and if Spain loses Guadalajara, then Mexico City will not be able to keep it. Mexico will no longer be Spanish. ”

Wilberforce was very relaxed and nibbled on an apple, and the relationship between the two was so close that he could let loose even at the Prime Minister's residence, and he said: "Yes, the speed is really very fast, and it makes people wonder if the Tang people are premeditated." ”

William Pitt Jr. said: "Yes and no. This time Tang really lost a big face, and was put on a stand by a group of Indians, with heavy casualties. This is absolutely unacceptable for a country with too much self-esteem. Although the Tang people are good at using conspiracy, I don't think they will make a mistake in exchanging the lives of their own citizens for sending troops. So the bombing incident is real, and there is no doubt that the Spaniards made small moves in the back, because the motive is too strong. ”

Wilberforce asked, "Then why do you say that the Tang people are premeditated?" ”

William Pitt Jr. said: "A few months ago, I had the good fortune to see some top-secret information on the development of the Don Army provided by the military, in modern military terms. We must admit that the Tang people are much ahead of us, not only in terms of technology and equipment, but also in terms of concepts and theories. We do this through a lot of channels. I was able to learn about some of the military ideas of the Tang people. Among them, there is a theory called rapid response, and Tang military strategists and generals believe that in order to maintain a country's security and deterrence, it is necessary to make the country have the ability to respond to all crises in the shortest possible time, which is rapid response. Therefore, when the Tang Army was building, it emphasized a very high state of combat readiness, and some troops were able to quickly assemble and go to the battlefield at the sound of an order, and all kinds of weapons, equipment, and supplies were already prepared in advance and could be provided to them. This war is like this, by sea, rail, Don has the ability to transport her army to the battlefield, launching an extremely sudden attack on the enemy without even knowing what is happening. It's not that the Spaniards are too slow to react, it's that the Dons are too fast. I dare say that the Spaniards in many places had no idea that they were at war with the Dons. ”

Wilberforce also exclaimed, "Yes, we live in an era of rapid change. When I was a kid, I struggled to read at night with candles, but now when the lights are turned on, we can read all night. In the past, it took us three months to know what was happening in the Americas, but now we can read about the war that took place three days ago, and we can read about it in the newspapers, which is very uncomfortable. ”

William Pitt Jr. said: "That's right, these are the changes brought about by the change of Tang people's technology. The Tang people were the initiators of the technological revolution, so they knew how to use these technologies to change the status quo of the world. We are a little slower in Britain, but equally hopeful. This war is a very good opportunity, we have been catching up with the Tang people for a long time, and this war will show more things to the Tang people, so that we can study and progress. ”

Wilberforce looked at his best friend and said with some sadness: "William, you are also too desperate. In the past, you liked philosophy and art, but now you are so concerned about the military, and it is a shameful thing to have a friend who is the prime minister, but I still feel very sad to see you work so hard, as your friend. ”

William Pitt Jr. just smiled, looking at the special fluctuation in his best friend's eyes, and said, "It's all for England." (To be continued.) )
