Chapter 381: The Conspirator's Performance

"It's just that in this case, we will need to deal with the US military in California in the future." Yuan Shikai said that it was clear that His Excellency the Chief of Staff was very dissatisfied with Santos not letting his compatriots run to fight the US troops, and then the Chinese picked the fruit in the back.

"It doesn't matter, it's just time to train the Americans, it's normal for Mexicans to have their own ideas, as long as they enter California, it's okay, inform Situ Meitang in San Francisco, as soon as the Mexicans enter California, let him and the San Francisco Autonomous Region Council immediately request troops to protect the expatriate, and by the way, create some chaos in San Francisco, doesn't he also have a lot of Mexican immigrants under his command? Let them get up and make an uprising in San Francisco or something, acting, always acting realistically. Yang Feng said that he didn't care about Santos having his own ideas, he had already become president, and he was also a president similar to a dictator, so naturally he couldn't still treat it with his previous attitude, even if it was a dog, he would definitely not be as well-behaved as he was when he was a child.

Besides, if the Mexicans conquer California, and then China will take it by the sword, it will be easy to hurt the feelings of the Mexican people, and now the European powers are already dissatisfied with China's monopoly on Mexico, Britain, France, and Russia are all supporting their own forces in Mexico, and if Santos does it too explicitly, it is easy to give these people a chance.

Since Emperor Yang didn't mind, Chief Yuan didn't say anything more, and immediately sent a telegram to Santos, asking him to invade California as much as possible, and also informed Situ Meitang in San Francisco to be ready, and the two army divisions in China had already set off for Hawaii in the name of changing guards, ready to launch another invasion of the United States from there, uh, or to protect the overseas Chinese. Accompanied by two Canglong-class cruisers and six large destroyers, this small task force is not very strong, but if you consider that the battleships Wuyi and the large armored cruisers Tianshan are returning home. When this fleet arrives in San Francisco, it will be terrifying.

The Americans do not want to sit idly by, but they are really powerless now, because the United States can only maintain an army of 600,000 because of its financial constraints, of which 200,000 are on the border between the United States and Spain, and on the other side of Florida, Spain still maintains a size of 120,000 troops. That is to say, the 200,000 men were resolutely immovable, not only looking at the Spaniards, but also at the Confederate forces flanking the Mississippi. It is also necessary to scare the separatist activities in Alabama and Georgia. The two states had been thinking about the Confederacy since the last war, and Alabama in particular had more than once armed against the Union, and the 200,000 men were responsible.

Then the California garrison, and part of the defenders on the east coast, the only mobile force was the 150,000 men who had just been withdrawn from Mexico, and these poor young men were just like Yang Feng expected, and their hearts were all severely devastated, and when they heard that they were going to war, they had to fight the terrible Mexicans. Naturally, they will resolutely refrain from doing it, and there will be signs of mutiny in a hurry, and they will certainly not be able to send them to the battlefield again until we do a good job in the ideological work of these people. The armament of another 150,000 people cannot be solved in a day or two.

So they had to move the army in San Francisco nearby, draw one of the three divisions encircled San Francisco and go south, and then one division in San Diego would arrive in Yuma by train. More than 20,000 horses were collected from Arizona and New Mexico, turning this original infantry division into a cavalry division. Fighting in the vast Sonora desert region, the infantry became a joke. Fortunately, the vast majority of Americans can ride horses, and there is no problem with the role reversal, and with the addition of some militia, an army of more than 20,000 people can be put together. Then an attack was launched on the Mexicans in the Yuma Desert, trying to cut the Mexicans directly off the railway.

The cunning Santos had long been prepared for this situation, and while the railroad was being built, dozens of bulldozers purchased from General Motors dug a huge trench with a depth of more than two meters and a width of more than five meters on the outside of the railway, and the sand was piled up on the inside, and the brave American cavalry was dumbfounded when they rushed to it.

How does this work?

This is really impossible to fight, those cavalry did not wait to rush to the front, the bullets of the Mexicans on the opposite side immediately smashed like a storm, even if they were lucky enough to rush through the blockade, rushing to the front and back of the front and back can only look at the deep ditch in front of them and sigh, and then they were blown up by grenades to a bloody blur, this towering sand wall, not only blocked the footsteps of the American attack, but even blocked their artillery attack on the train behind, the train from the improvised dock, loaded with fresh water, food, ammunition unloaded from the landing ship rumbling over, A steady stream of deliveries to Mexicans.

The Americans, who had trekked dozens of kilometers in the desert with a kettle and then came here to fight hard, could only sip precious fresh water one by one, nibble on dry and hard food, and look at the enemy on the opposite side with sad and indignant eyes eating and drinking there, and some even poured water on their heads like demonstrations.

Fortunately, the Mexicans, who were mainly infantry, were not interested in chasing them, in order to complete the task assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, Santos's main goal now was to enter California, he had to build the train into the valley of the lower Colorado River, relying on the fresh water supply of the river to divide the troops into two routes, one way north into California, make a gesture of attacking Los Angeles to give Emperor Yang an excuse to protect the overseas Chinese, and the other way east along the Hira River Valley to attack Phoenix, and then continue east along the railroad to Tucson, and crucify here, The next step was to repair the railway from Puerto Guaymas to Nogales.

Originally, he had a railroad from Mexico directly north, and two branches of the Santa Fe Railroad System of the United States entered Mexico, one leading from the highlands and mountains in the center to as far away as Mexico City, ending in Las Cruces in New Mexico in the north, and the other turning east and southwest at Nogales to Puerto Guaymas. However, the continuous destruction of Mexican guerrillas in the war that lasted for more than a year and the large-scale demolition of American businessmen in the later period were basically destroyed, especially the line to Mexico City, which was impossible to repair in two years, and the Guaymas section had to be repaired for more than half a year, and the Americans removed almost all the tracks.

For them, the Mexican government will nationalize the railroad they built anyway, and if they dismantle the railroad tracks like this, they can still sell it for some money!

Santos's plan was to first lay down the northern section of the Phoenix-controlled railway, hold on to it, and then repair the railroad, so that as long as the railroad to Nogales was completed, the whole of Arizona and New Mexico would be firmly in his hands.

Of course, this is his business, and it has nothing to do with Emperor Yang.

Under the protection of the Army, which was increased to two divisions, the Mexicans finally completed their road construction project in a month, and then launched an attack on the American defense line in the Colorado Valley, in the face of the elite and overwhelming artillery fire of the Mexican Army honed by more than a year of war, those American soldiers who had been tormented by defeat and defeat for five years, but also carried out a relatively stubborn resistance, the battle between the two sides lasted for a week, when the third division of the Mexicans joined the battlefield, The Americans' defenses finally collapsed.

After the defeat of the Americans, the Mexicans immediately divided into two divisions and attacked west along the Hilla Valley, and as for their supplies, they were transported along the river by accompanying trucks and a large number of Mexican fishermen who came to help in small boats, while the other division officially entered California in the north, and the commander of this Mexican army sent a telegram to San Francisco as soon as he crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.

"Alright, it's our turn!" Situ Meitang, commander of the National Guard of the San Francisco Autonomous Region, looked at the telegram in his hand and said with a cruel smile that he had already made sufficient preparations according to Emperor Yang's order, and was waiting for the news to be ready to start.

"Carlos, tomorrow night you officially hold an uprising, fly the banner of the Mexican People's Party, and then I will retreat the Oakland garrison to San Jose, and at the same time leave all the heavy artillery to you, and then you will keep a few hundred people, and then you will make up some numbers to make an attack on San Jose, all machine gun grenades are used, the more lively the fight, the better, and the garrison of San Jose will also cooperate with the performance. As for the main force you lead, attack directly at the American forces in Stockton, and if you can destroy or defeat them, continue to attack Sacramento, and if you can't defeat them, retreat to the east bank and wait for Hawaiian reinforcements to arrive. The guy then said to a Mexican-American officer next to him.

At least half of the National Guard in the Chinese Autonomous Region are Mexican-American immigrants and Japanese immigrants, and Emperor Yang's plan is to have these people launch an uprising in the Autonomous Region under the banner of the Mexican People's Party, and then attack San Francisco while acting and attacking the surrounding American troops, creating a posture that San Francisco may fall at any time. By the way, it is best to kill someone and set fire to something, it is best to defeat the US army, so that they can no longer control the appearance of zhì shape shì, and then let the autonomous regional assembly ask for help from their motherland, so that the three divisions of the Chinese Army assembled in Hawaii can come to protect the overseas Chinese in a big way.

When the army arrives, they can casually create some excuses such as wicker lakes, and then they can declare war on the United States again, and they are very good at playing these Emperor Yang. (To be continued......)
