"Retreat? Why retreat? General Gao, the Americans are vulnerable to attack, and we were able to defeat the two armies of the Americans lightly last night, and we could have taken the opportunity to defeat the two armies on the east flank, and finally cooperate with the army of Saketkas to defeat the other four armies of the Americans. That way, we'll be able to keep the Americans out of the line and not have to worry about them going into the heart of Mexico! The Minister of War of the Mexican Government, Pancho Villa, asked very puzzled. In the beginning, he was very pessimistic and did not think that the Americans could match him. However, last night's victory in the battle made him suddenly burst with confidence!

"Your Excellency Villa, the reason why we were able to defeat the American army last night was entirely because the American army was defenseless. Now, the U.S. military will definitely strengthen its defense, and if it wants to repeat last night's victory, it will be impossible. To the east of San Luis Poto, two corps of American troops were approaching, and at least one more corps was to the north. Saketkas, on the other hand, had to face a siege by four corps of American troops. The tide of battle is very bad for us! What we need to do now is to conserve our strength and trade space for time! Admiral Gao Chang explained. He didn't just explain it to Pancho Villa, but to the generals of the Mexican government army!

After listening to General Gao Chang's explanation, most of the Mexican government generals agreed with the order to retreat. It's just that in the hearts of some people, there is always a pimple. After all, after their retreat, the Americans would have driven straight into the heart of Mexico. The troops of the Díaz government in the north will also enter, which will definitely be a disaster for the people of southern Mexico. After Mexico split into the Madero government in the south and the Díaz government in the north, the two sides were always at odds, and there were many exchanges of fire near the demarcation line. Once Dias's army had reached the south. What kind of crazy actions will be made, only God knows!

"General Gao, if we retreat like this, Mexico will lose a lot of territory and people, which is unacceptable to the Mexican government!" Pancho Villa reminded.

"Your Excellency Villa, obey orders!" Admiral Gao Chang said coldly. According to the treaty signed at the time, after the war began, the Mexican government forces would be completely at the mercy of the Chinese side. Even Admiral Gao Chang didn't explain it to them at all. It's perfectly fine, too.

"Yes, General Gao!" Seeing that Admiral Gao Chang was angry, Pancho Villa had no choice but to say no more. His position as Minister of War was only obtained with the support of China. If the Chinese want to remove him, Gen will have no trouble doing it.

"Everyone. The current retreat is to be able to better attack the Americans in the future. Our reinforcements are almost there, and we'll be able to launch a counterattack. The territories that are lost now will be able to be fully recovered in the future. At that time, the Mexican government will not only be able to unify Mexico, but also be able to regain many territories that were previously occupied by the United States! Lieutenant General Yang Ming, chief of staff of the Sixth Army, said.

After the order to retreat was given, the Chinese defenders and Mexican government forces retreated south as planned. After the formation of the Madero government in Mexico. According to the agreement with the Chinese side, a lot of money has been invested to improve the transportation in Mexico, so that the transportation facilities in Mexico are much better than before. It was also easier for the Chinese defenders and Mexican government forces to retreat south along the lines of communication.

It was not only the Chinese defenders and Mexican government forces that had gathered near San Luis Potosí that retreated. The 12th Division of the Sixth Army at Saketkas also retreated south before the arrival of the four corps of the American army. More than 100,000 squadrons and nearly 200,000 Mexican government troops retreated south from the northern line of defense, until they stopped in Querétaro and built a new line of defense here. Two hundred kilometers south of Querétaro is Mexico City, the capital of Mexico.

The abrupt retreat of the Chinese defenders and Mexican government forces. The U.S. military was greatly surprised, and it was not known why the Chinese defenders had withdrawn after winning the battle. Lieutenant General Pershing even ordered all units to stop the pursuit. Defend in place so as not to fall into the trap of the Chinese. However, it was only after the reconnaissance force replied that the Chinese defenders and the Mexican government forces had indeed retreated, that Lieutenant General Pershing ordered the U.S. forces to take over the line between San Luis Potosí and Saketcas. After that, the US army began to advance south. By this time, the Chinese defenders and Mexican government forces had already moved south.

The 300,000 troops of the Díaz government in northern Mexico have also poured into the south, and although these armies are rabble, they are very brutal against civilians. They burned, killed, looted, and caused great harm to the Mexicans. The four northern states of Mexico, which Díaz controlled, were originally barren land, but they were not as rich as those of southern Mexico. You can imagine what these poor and crazy Diaz troops did after they arrived in the south!

The retreat of the Chinese defenders and Mexican government also shocked the Madero government, which held power in Mexico. By the time the U.S. military began to attack, the Madero government was already panicking. However, in the later battle, the Chinese defenders launched a surprise attack on the American army and won the victory, which made the Madero government seem to have eaten a reassuring pill. However, what they never expected was that after winning the battle, Admiral Gao Chang directly ordered a retreat to the south, leaving a large area of Mexican territory to the Americans. This made Mexican President Madero very dissatisfied, and he immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Sixth Army to ask for the reason. But they were told that it was a military secret!

"The Chinese are about to be defeated by the Americans! The U.S. army and Díaz's army are about to enter Mexico City! Such rumors suddenly spread in Mexico City. Many Mexicans panicked, packed up their bags, and fled Mexico City and the countryside with their families. Many officials in the Madero government also demanded that Madero move the Mexican government to a safer place in the south. All of a sudden, the situation in Mexico became even more chaotic!

On 27 September, the American front reached Querétaro and launched a fierce assault on the lines held by the Chinese defenders and Mexican government forces. As more and more American troops arrived, their attacks became more intense, and the casualties of the Chinese defenders and Mexican government forces increased. At this time, the Mexican government's confidence in persisting in resisting the US military is becoming less and less!

On the night of September 28, the presidential palace of Mexico, the luxurious official residence built by former Mexican President Díaz with a lot of money, now belongs to Madero. This evening, Mexico's Minister of Finance, Karls, and Commerce Minister Taylor came to meet President Madero.

"Your Excellency!" Kars and Taylor were taken directly to Madero's office by the staff of the presidential palace. When the two men saw Madero, they immediately saluted him. Both of them can be regarded as Madero's henchmen, and they are both spokesmen put forward by the Mexican bourgeoisie. However, after the establishment of the Madero government, the Mexican bourgeoisie did not get much benefit, and the Mexican government invested a lot of money in the construction of transportation facilities in the north, which made the Mexican bourgeoisie very dissatisfied. It's just that at that time, the whole of Mexico was under the control of China, and even if they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to express themselves. And now, it seems that the Chinese are about to be defeated by the Americans, which makes the minds of these bourgeois businessmen come alive again!

"It's so late, what's the matter with the two of you?" After waiting for the secretary to bring the coffee and then withdraw, Madero asked directly. A few years of presidency have changed a lot for Madero. The biggest change is that the original standard body has become a big fat man! It can be seen that after becoming president, I have enjoyed a lot of things over the years!

"Your Excellency President, I heard that the battle situation on the front line is very unfavorable, and the defense line of Querétaro is about to be broken through by the Americans?" Finance Minister Karls asked first.

Sure enough, Madero's face suddenly turned bad, and he had been worrying about it.

"The Chinese have promised that they will hold Querétaro. And, even if the Americans break through Querétaro, even if Mexico City is conquered by them, but so what? After the arrival of reinforcements from the Chinese, the Americans are still no match for the Chinese! Madero said.

"Your Excellency, this is not a good thing for Mexico. We have received some news that the army of Diaz, the dictator, is burning, killing and looting in the north, doing all kinds of evil, and our people are suffering a lot! Commerce Minister Taylor said.

"But the government can't do anything about it. The control of the army is in the hands of the Chinese, don't say me, even the minister of the army cannot move even a battalion of troops without authorization! Madero said with some annoyance. The Mexican government army, from recruitment to training, to the appointment of officers inside, is all handled by the Chinese, and the Mexican government cannot interfere at all.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese have treated us as puppets, and they continue to exploit Mexico, even more ruthlessly than the Spaniards at the beginning." Finance Minister Karls said.

"Your Excellency, we must find a way to get rid of the control of the Chinese!" Commerce Minister Taylor also took the opportunity to say.

"However, China is too strong, and we are not capable of confronting the Chinese!" Madero shook his head.

"Your Excellency, the Americans are ready to support us!" Commerce Minister Taylor said suddenly.
