For the Mexican people, who had endured more than two decades of Diaz's dictatorship, the sudden outbreak of the uprising shocked everyone. However, more and more people then joined in. In just three days, the ranks of the uprising led by Pancho Villa and Emiliano reached tens of thousands. Of course, only part of the rebels were armed with guns, and the rest were armed with knives, spears and even farm tools. However, this did not in any way affect their enthusiasm for participating in the uprising.
On 19 November, Pancho Villa led the rebels north and captured the city of Chihuahua, the capital of Chihuahua, defeating a regiment of Mexican troops who had arrived to suppress it. As a result, the rebel army suddenly gained momentum, and more and more peasants, herdsmen, and workers joined the ranks of the rebel army. In the south, the rebel army led by Emiliano also captured Cuernavaca, the capital of the state of Morelos, and the number of rebels has skyrocketed to 50,000. Emiliano also shouted the slogan of marching to Mexico City and overthrowing the dictatorship of Díaz.
After the outbreak of the uprising, the bourgeoisie, which had been vacillating, seemed to be a little tempted. Originally, the bourgeoisie was more inclined to overthrow the dictatorship of Díaz by means of moderate parliamentary elections. However, since the outbreak of the uprising, the army of the Díaz government has reacted too slowly, which has made many bourgeoisie feel that Díaz does not seem to be as strong as everyone thinks. These bourgeoisie must not want to see the power in Mexico fall into the hands of the mud legs of Emiliano and Pancho Villa after the overthrow of Dias. These bourgeoisie are also actively planning the uprising. These bourgeoisie were more powerful than Emiliano and Pancho Villa, in the Mexican army. There are also their people. Suddenly, the situation in Mexico became stormy. The solid rule of the original Dias suddenly seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Mexico City, Presidential Palace. Mexico's great dictator, Boferidias, is furious. In front of him stood senior officials of the Mexican military and government, but now, these dignitaries. All of them were scolded by Dias. In the dictatorship of Dias, whether it is the military or the government officials, he directly appoints them, and he directly controls the fate of these people!
"Bastard! Those damn pariahs, scumbags. It is an unforgivable sin to dare to rebel against my rule! I am conscientious and conscientious for the stability of the country and the life of the people, is it easy for me? I won't let these ungrateful guys go! Boferodias said angrily.
Dignitaries of the Mexican government and military echoed their words. Denounce the ungrateful poor peasants and workers. However, they never thought that if the peasants and workers of the fortress could survive, would they participate in the uprising?
"Army. Where are our troops? Why hasn't the rebellion of the untouchables been extinguished? Dias said angrily. Mexico's navy was very weak, with only one offshore defense fleet, and the fleet commander was directly accountable to Dias. All, the highest echelons of the military. It's the Minister of War.
"Your Excellency, we are already gathering troops to suppress the rebellion of the untouchables. Merely. Our troops are scattered all over the country, and it is difficult to assemble them for a while! War Secretary Karperes said profusely sweating. Of course, there are reasons for the unfavorable repression, but at the same time, the disarmament of the Mexican army and the lack of military discipline are the main reasons.
"Bastard! Karl, I warn you, no matter what means, within a month, all these rebellions must be crushed, and all the untouchables must be killed. Otherwise, you, Minister of War, will do it! Dias threatened viciously.
"Yes, Your Excellency, within a month, I will be able to exterminate those rebels!" Culperez affirmed.
"Your Excellency, according to the information we have received, the situation does not seem to be good! Behind these untouchables, there seems to be support from someone. Otherwise, they would never have had so many weapons and equipment when they launched a rebellion. Interior Minister Daniel said.
"Who is supporting those untouchables?" Dias asked angrily. Since his presidency, he has always attached great importance to Mexico's stability. For this reason, he thought of a lot of ways, and even formed a village cavalry patrol. He thought that his rule was already solid. But I didn't expect that the uprising of a group of peasants could develop so vigorously in such a short period of time!
"Chinese! According to the exact information we have received, the Chinese have supplied weapons to these untouchables to support their rebellion! Daniel said with great certainty.
"Chinese?" Everyone present, including Dias, gasped. Although, China is very far away from Mexico. However, the warships of the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy often cruise in Mexican waters! The Mexican government, on the other hand, did not dare to express any opinion on this. They all know that China's strength is not comparable to that of a small country like Mexico, and China only needs a little effort to destroy Mexico ten times or eight times!
"Chinese, what exactly do they want to do? What good is the overthrow of the rule for them? Díaz yelled like an angry bull, very irritable.
"Your Excellency, I think we are unlucky, unfortunately we are involved in the game between two powerful countries! As we all know, China and the United States are in a strict confrontation, and after the next big war breaks out, there will definitely be a war between China and the United States. And the United States, it seems, is no match for China, they have been defeated by China twice before. So, the Americans built their west coast into a strong defensive line, and deployed half of the country's army there. Even if the medium force is strong, if it attacks the defense line that the Americans have painstakingly built, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses. If China were able to send troops from Mexico, it would be able to bypass the strong defenses built by the Americans and launch a direct attack into the American heartland. How can the Chinese give up such an advantage? Daniel analyzed.
"Damn it!" Dias yelled. He knew that this could only be regarded as his bad luck. Even if he doesn't provoke China, China will come to the door on its own. At the same time, his pro-American attitude, known to the whole world. Therefore, if the Chinese want to send troops from Mexico to attack the United States, they must overthrow his rule. In this way, it is understandable that the Chinese support those untouchables to launch a rebellion.
"It is impossible to overthrow my rule. Karl, kill all those untouchables for me! Dias ordered. Now that China wants to subvert his rule, he can't back down. Unless he can give up the power in his hands. In order to protect his power, Dias also has to fight back desperately. Moreover, he may not be able to lose, these rebel armies, which seem to be huge, are nothing more than a rabble. Díaz believes that the combat effectiveness of the Mexican regular army may not be as good as that of the US Army, let alone the Chinese Army, but there will be no problem in suppressing some rebels!
"Yes, Your Excellency, I will definitely complete the mission!" Calperez said.
"Your Excellency the President, I think we should contact the American side and seek assistance from the Americans." Foreign Minister Curtis said.
"Okay, you're going on a trip to the United States. The ultimate goal of the Chinese to subvert Mexico is to attack the United States. If the Americans don't want to be attacked by the Chinese, then they have to support us! Curtis, you can get us as many weapons and money as you can! Dias said.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I will do my best!" Curtis said.
For a time, under Dias's strict orders, the Mexican government began to operate rapidly. Armies began to assemble and march towards the cities where the rebels refused to gather, preparing to suppress the uprising. The rebels, on the other hand, seemed to be carried away by the victory. Emiliano has already openly clamored that he will capture Mexico City by the end of the year and overthrow Díaz's rule!
On 25 November, Emiliano marched on Mexico City with an army of 50,000 rebels. The Chinese side did not agree with his plan. Díaz was in Mexico City, with an elite army of 30,000, and with Emiliano's 50,000 rebel army, Gen had no chance of defeating them. However, Emiliano was carried away, and Gen did not listen. All he wanted was to capture Mexico City, so that he could take his place as the ruler of Mexico.
On 30 November, Emiliano's rebel army entered the Federal District and reached the outskirts of Mexico City. Here, the three infantry divisions and 30,000 elite infantry mobilized by Mexican War Minister Calperez were already ready for battle. A cannon has already been prepared. A stiff heavy machine gun, with a black hole in the muzzle, also pointed into the distance.
"Brave rebels, charge in order to overthrow the dictatorship of Dias!" Emiliano said with a frenzied face.
"Rush!" More than 50,000 fanatical rebels, shouting slogans, rushed to the positions of the government troops. Only a fraction of them were armed with rifles, a few heavy machine guns, and none of the cannons. The vast majority of people are holding farm tools in their hands, and what they have is probably full of blood!
"Fire!" Karperez gave the order to open fire.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Da-da-da-da! "Cannons roared, heavy machine guns neighed. In the face of the dense firepower of the government army, the charging rebel army fell to the ground one by one like cutting wheat!
