"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, your navy's wanton killing of our country's soldiers is an invasion of our country! We demand that your country immediately apologize to our country, compensate our country for its losses, and withdraw its troops from our shores! A bearded Westerner was in front of Mr. Wu and was loudly accusing the Chinese navy of atrocities. He is none other than Felix, the Mexican ambassador to China.

Wu Tingfang looked at Felix with a smile on his face, as if he had taken his accusation as if he had turned a deaf ear. Wu Tingfang had already expected the Mexican ambassador's visit. It's just that for a small country like Mexico, China doesn't take it seriously. Not to mention, the current Mexican government, which is in China's plans, will be the one to be overthrown.

"Is it all over? Mr. Felix! Wu Tingfang still said with a smile on his face.

Ambassador Felix nodded, his mouth dry at the moment.

"So, I will now tell you about China's decision! Since your team's wanton massacre of civilians has seriously violated the spirit of humanitarianism, His Majesty the Emperor and the government of our country have already decided that the government of Dias in your country is no longer fit to govern! Wu Tingfang said.

"What? Your Excellency Ng Dinh Fong? You, what do you mean by that? Ambassador Felix was taken aback, he didn't expect that Wu Tingfang's answer was actually this. China is really barbaric to overthrow the Mexican government under the pretext of so-called humanitarianism, which is completely trampling on a sovereign country!

"Mr. Felix, I think I've made it clear enough!" The smile on Wu Tingfang's face disappeared, and he said sternly.

"Your Excellency Ng Dinh Fong, Mexico is an independent country. The Mexican government, and the only legitimate government in Mexico! China's behavior is immoral. The whole world will oppose China's behavior! Ambassador Felix snarled in a fierce voice.

"Mr. Felix, you should know that my country does not care about international opinions. As long as you get the support of the citizens of the Empire, you're good to go! Wu Tingfang said nonchalantly.

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, I believe that the Chinese people are also peace-loving, and they will not agree to China's invasion of other countries at will!" Felix is still making the last struggles. He knows. If China is determined to invade Mexico, Mexico will not be able to resist it. Even the United States, behind Dias, could not stop it. As ambassador to China, he knows the country far better than those at home. China is an ancient country. Now it's showing great firepower. A large number of factories are being built, and the construction of infrastructure such as roads, railways, and power transmission is also very fast. The country, having fully woken up, is regaining its rightful place.

"The Chinese people are peace-loving. However, they are also very willing to uphold justice. For a brutal government, the Chinese people also hope to be overthrown! Mr. Felix. Perhaps, you should check out this morning's Imperial Daily! Wu Tingfang said with a smile.

Frustrated, Felix left the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, knowing that China had invaded Mexico. Or, according to the Chinese, it is inevitable to rescue the Mexican people living in dire straits. Government of Dias. It is likely to be overthrown.

Ambassador Felix returned to the car and prepared to return to the embassy. While passing by a newsstand. He asked his secretary to go down and buy a copy of the Imperial Daily. Looking back, the front page of this issue of the Imperial Journal was full of atrocities about the brutality of Mexico's Díaz government. The chapter is devoted to the Diaz government's dictatorship in Mexico and its atrocities during the counterinsurgency. A large number of Mexican civilians were killed, and even pictures were attached.

Immediately, Ambassador Felix knew that Mexico was finished, or that Mexico's Díaz government was finished. The Chinese sent troops to Mexico, and it was no longer possible to stop it.

Actually, as Felix thought. When several major newspapers in China began to write large articles about the atrocities of Mexico's Díaz government. The people of the whole country are boiling, and there are many calls for the overthrow of the Díaz government and the salvation of the Mexican people in major cities. As China's national power continued to grow, the citizens of the empire became more and more aware of international affairs, and many elites also demanded that the empire actively participate in international affairs. Of course, more Chinese people have the mentality that it is not their own business, thinking that other people's affairs, why should China meddle in them? The most important thing is to live your life well. Of course, after the order of the emperor Wang Yuze, no one dared to openly oppose it. Wang Yuze is in the empire, and he has been completely deified!

Internationally, quite a number of countries have accused China of such a barbaric act of wantonly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and in particular, the member states of the Entente countries have jumped up and down to demand sanctions against China for such acts.

On January 1, 1904, the first day of the new year, the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy escorted a huge convoy of transport ships to Mazatlan. When the huge fleet appeared on the sea, the peasant rebels of Pancho Villa, who were still holding on, were completely shocked. The dense crowd of warships and transport ships on the sea all shows China's strength. At the same time, it also gave them complete peace of mind. The 100,000 government troops led by Karperez remained about 20 kilometers from Mazatlán. It's just that because the Chinese Navy has more and more warships staying on the sea, they have given up the attack on Mazatlan. In such a situation, to attack Mazatlan again would be to find your own death!

The 3rd Marine Division landed first, and that afternoon, a regiment of the 3rd Marine Division launched a tentative attack on the Mexican government forces. I just wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the Mexican government army. However, when Calperez spotted the squadron and began to attack, he immediately ordered the Mexican army to retreat back and retreated all the way to a distance of hundreds of kilometers. This shocked the squadron greatly, and also made General Gao Chang, commander of the Sixth Group Army, and Lieutenant General Yang Ming, chief of staff, who were in charge of commanding this operation, very puzzled. Are these Mexican government troops ready to watch the squadron land without any resistance?

The voluntary retreat of the Mexican government forces saved the squadron a lot of trouble. Two days later, the artillery brigade, cavalry brigade, and baggage brigade of the 11th Division of the Chinese Army and the Sixth Army had all landed.

Mexican President Díaz has learned that the squadron has landed in Mazatlan, but has not yet received a reply from the United States, which makes Díaz very worried. I don't know if the U.S. side will support Mexico, without the support of the United States, Mexico will not be able to withstand the invasion of the squadron. On the one hand, Díaz urged Foreign Secretary Curtis in the United States to seize the time to contact the United States and ask the United States to support Mexico. On the other hand, Calperez, hold on to El Salto, and resist the invasion of the squadron!

On January 3, the squadron, having completed the landing, began to attack the Mexican government forces. As for Mazatlan, only a battalion of troops of the 3rd Marine Division was left to garrison. There were naval warships anchored in the sea, and one battalion was enough to ensure the safety of Mazatlan.

More than 50,000 squadrons, attacking from Mazatlan to El Salto, while the Mexican government forces, led by War Minister Cal Perez, are preparing to fend off the squadron's attack in El Salto!

On January 6, the squadron arrived in El Salto, and in the afternoon of the same day, the squadron launched an attack. Before the infantry began to attack, it was the artillery brigade of the 6th Army and the artillery battalion of the 11th Division of the Army, as well as the artillery battalion of the 3rd Marine Division, which prepared for half an hour! An artillery brigade plus two artillery battalions is enough for more than 300 artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 105 mm.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "At nine o'clock in the morning, the shelling of the squadron began. Dense shells smashed on the positions of the Mexican government troops, and the rudimentary fortifications they had built could not be resisted under the heavy shelling of the squadron. Trenches were blown up, and some heavy machine gun fire points were blown up into the sky.

"Fire! Counterattack! "Mexican War Secretary Cal Perez gave the order to strike back. Hundreds of artillery pieces of the Mexican government began to roar. However, before they could fire a few rounds of shells, they were spotted by observation balloons in the sky. Chinese artillery immediately inflicted a covering blow on the artillery positions of the Mexican government forces. In less than twenty minutes, the artillery positions of the Mexican government army were destroyed. The soldiers of the Mexican government army also suffered heavy losses in the heavy shelling. In their military career, they had never experienced such a fierce shelling, and their morale was immediately crushed.

The Mexican army was originally encircled by Dias. Because the relationship between the Díaz government and the United States is very close, Mexico's security is guaranteed. Mexico's army only needs to be able to suppress domestic rebellions, and its combat effectiveness is very low. In front of a world-class squadron, Gen is vulnerable.

During the half-hour shelling, the Mexican government forces suffered heavy losses. Many units have deserted, and it is okay for these Mexican government soldiers to deal with unarmed civilians, but it is very frightening for them to fend off squadrons armed to the teeth.

After the artillery bombardment was prepared, two regiments of the 11th Division of the Chinese Army launched an attack on El Salto, and the Mexican government army, which lasted less than an hour, was routed!
