Internationally, it did not have much influence on the formation of the new Mexican government. Although Mexico has a large land area and a large population, with more than 13 million people, it has been under the pressure of the United States for a long time, and Mexico is very poor, and its industry is almost blank except for light industry and mining. Such a country naturally has no social status in the international community.

However, the member states of the Entente have issued announcements one after another, not recognizing the Madero government, and still regard the Díaz government as the sole legitimate government of Mexico. However, apart from the United States, the other members of the Entente did not take any other action, and they only expressed their spiritual support for the war that the United States was waging in Mexico and China. It is simply impossible for Britain, France, Russia and other countries to substantially support the United States. Britain and France have not yet recovered from last year's Middle East war. And Russia, after being defeated by China last time and losing a large part of its territory, has been licking its wounds and trying to restore its strength, so naturally it does not want to be involved in a war at this time! Fortunately, this war is on the doorstep of the United States, and the United States has great confidence in fighting this war well!

Several member states of the Central Powers, however, issued statements recognizing the Madero government as the sole legitimate government of Mexico. However, both Germany and Austria-Hungary hoped that China would be able to control the scale of the war and not break out into a full-scale war with the United States at this time. The countries of the Central Powers were not ready for war. A large number of warships are still being built, and various strategic materials are still in reserve. Estimate. Four to five years later. The national power of the Allied countries. will reach the peak state. It's just that by that time, the Entente will probably be ready for war. It is foreseeable that the war at that time will be a protracted war!

After the capture of Mexico City and the establishment of a new government, the Chinese army entering Mexico has completed its recuperation. Began to advance north of Mexico City, ready to face the American ** team that entered Mexico. At this moment, the Second and Third Armies of the United States had captured San Luis Potosí. However, what is surprising is that after capturing San Luis Potosí, the U.S. military stopped continuing to move south, and instead built a defensive position there, which seems to have no intention of going further south.

In addition, the first army of the United States. After the Chinese supply base moved south, it also gave up continuing to advance along the Pacific coast. Instead, San Luis Potosí came to join the main forces of the American army.

At 11 a.m. Beijing time on February 10, after a day of official business, Wang Yuze was talking with Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, about the war in Mexico. Although, in this battle, the squadron only invested more than 50,000 people, as well as some warships of the Pacific Fleet. But Wang Yuze was very concerned about this battle.

"Your Majesty, the new president of Mexico, Madero, is still quite acquainted, and there is basically no objection to the conditions we have proposed, the "Sino-Mexican Friendship Treaty" has been signed, at least until the United States is defeated, we can justifiably control Mexico's military and diplomacy! In addition, Mexicans will invest a lot of money in the construction of transportation in the north. When the time comes, it will be much easier for us to attack the United States! Xiong Wu said with a smile. The current Xiong Wu is already a little old. He is nearly sixty years old, and although he still looks energetic, he is no longer as good as in previous years.

"This is the sorrow of a weak country! If it weren't for the fact that we, Western Sichuan, replaced the Manchus, defeated the Western powers after a series of wars, and established the status of an empire in the world, we would be in a worse situation than Mexico! Wang Yuze said. This era has changed, and now China is already a powerful eastern empire, not a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country that was bullied by foreign powers at will! Moreover, the Empire was actively preparing for the next war, so that it could replace the British Empire as the hegemon of the world after the war. However, there are still many difficulties in this road, and it will take a long time to achieve it.

Xiong Wu nodded, as an important member of Western Sichuan at the beginning, he had a very deep understanding of this world. The plundering of the colonies by the Western powers was very bloody and cruel, and their appetite was very large, and in order to get more colonies, they tried all kinds of methods to deal with other countries. China, on the other hand, almost became a colony of the great powers. As soon as he thought of this, he felt palpitations and some happiness at the same time!

"Your Majesty, we only have more than 50,000 people in Mexico, and the Americans have already invested 150,000. Moreover, they can increase their troops at any time, and it will take at least ten days for us to increase our troops in Mexico. I think, are we going to send some more troops into Mexico to fight? Xiong Wu asked. The ratio of the two sides to three made him a little worried. If the U.S. Army had been in the same state as it had been a few years ago, he would not have had the slightest concern. However, in the past few years, the United States has also vigorously developed armaments, but I don't know how the combat strength of the US Army has improved now!

"Not yet! We are in Hawaii and there are only two infantry divisions left. Also, if we continue to increase our troops, the Americans will continue to increase our troops. The Americans, fighting right on their doorstep, have an advantage over us. Throw in too many troops, and we will also have a lot of logistical pressure. I believe that the soldiers on the front line will be able to win for the Empire! Wang Yuze said. Deep down, he is not willing to start a full-scale war with the United States now. The 'Han-class' battleships have begun to be outfitted, and the 'Hanshin-class' fast battleships are being built intensively, and the layout in South America has not yet been completed. Now is not the best time to go to war.

In addition, deep in Wang Yuze's heart, there are still deep concerns. He hoped that after the outbreak of the Great War in Europe, China would launch another attack on the United States. Otherwise, if China had started attacking the United States first, and the Germans had not fulfilled the secret agreement they had signed, China would have been in misfortune. The 'Yellow Peril Theory' in history, but Wilhelm II first put it forward, and when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, he was also the commander-in-chief of the Germans. As for Germany, an ally, Wang Yuze did not believe much. The alliance between Germany and China was a matter of last resort. Therefore, China will not take the lead in a full-scale war with the United States until Germany fights with Britain and France first.

Xiong Wu nodded and didn't say anything more. In this general direction, it has always been Wang Yuze who makes the decision. Then those of them who are courtiers will refine the plan according to Wang Yuze's decision, and then implement it!

"I don't think the Americans would be willing to start a full-scale war with us at this time. Therefore, the war was to be confined to Mexico's borders. As long as we can defeat the American troops stationed in Mexico, perhaps, the Americans will back down. Send a telegram to Admiral Gao Chang and ask him to find a way to hurt the Americans, and only if the Americans are hurt, they will compromise! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! However, even if the Americans compromised, we would have taken control of Mexico. But the Americans could have built a strong line of defense on the border between the United States and Mexico. It's like they're doing on the West Coast of the United States! Xiong Wu reminded. The Americans built strong fortresses and fortifications on the west coast where they were suitable for launching a large landing operation, which was a great headache for the Chinese side!

"Haha! If the Americans really want to build fortifications on the U.S.-Mexico border, then I couldn't agree more. The United States and Mexico border a place with many plains. If the Americans want to build strong fortifications here, they don't know how much they will have to invest. Although the national strength of the United States is very strong, it is difficult for them to develop a large navy and a large army at the same time. If they build more fortifications, they will inevitably reduce their investment in the navy and army. That's going to be a good thing for us! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

Wang Yuze's order was directly sent to General Gao Chang. After receiving the order, Admiral Gao Chang did not dare to slack off any longer. More than 50,000 squadrons began to advance northward. The army of the new Mexican government was temporarily reorganized into 12 divisions, leaving six divisions to defend the vicinity of Mexico City, and the remaining six divisions were all advancing with the squadron. The Chinese side does not expect them to fight hard with the Americans, as long as they can hold the logistics supply line of the squadron, it will be a great luck!

On February 25, the squadron arrived thirty kilometers from San Luis Potosí. The Second and Third Armies of the US Army have already put on a posture of strict defense and stubborn defense. The other First Army was still more than 200 kilometers away. It seems that before the arrival of the First Army, the American army does not plan to take the initiative to attack.

San Luis Potosí is located in the fertile San Luis Valley, at an altitude of 1,877 meters, with a mild and pleasant climate, at the foot of the San Pedro Mountains. With an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, it may be possible for small troops to climb it, but it is not suitable for large troops. Therefore, to attack San Luis Potosí, it was only possible to pass through the San Luis Valley. And the U.S. military, on the other hand, has long been prepared and deployed heavy troops in a dangerous position in the St. Louis Valley. It is not easy for the squadron to break through the defense line of the US army.

In the afternoon of the same day, General Gao Chang and Lieutenant General Yang Ming personally arrived at the front line to observe the terrain. The St. Louis Valley is lined with mountains that are insurmountable. At the same time, the U.S. military built two lines of fortifications south of San Luis Potosí. On the fifteen-kilometer-long fortifications, at least 50,000 people were deployed, with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and artillery, and it was very difficult for the squadron to break through!
