The August sun in North America is like a fire, and the earth is like a steamer, so hot that people can't breathe. Liu Xian is all scared.

The older you get, the less you can suffer. Last night, Liu Xian asked people to put five pots of ice in the room, and opened the window by himself, but the temperature dropped at night, and it rained lightly, and Liu Xian caught a cold.

In the daytime, as soon as the sky cleared and the scorching sun shone again, Liu Xian people were about to wilt.

Liu Xian asked the imperial kitchen to enter a bowl of hen soup, the weather was too hot, and when he finished eating a large bowl of chicken soup and meat soup, his forehead was sweating. Because I was a little cold at night, I was not feeling well, and I couldn't use ice for fear of getting sicker, but the summer in Texas was very hot and the climate was very humid - Liu Xian was in Houston, which was particularly difficult for Liu Xian.

If it weren't for the fact that he was here first to greet the naval formation coming from afar, Liu Xian would have left Texas long ago.

The attendant beside him looked at Liu Xian's cowardly appearance, and said again Let's go. "Your Majesty, why don't you go to the mountains and stay for two days! It's definitely cooler in the mountains than here in the port. "Or just get out of the Texas coastline, and the temperature drops dramatically. Liu Xian is no longer in the prime of life, a 56-year-old person, no matter how well he maintains it on weekdays, he will not be dragged down by a minor illness.

The current New Qin Empire is inseparable from the helm of the emperor.

Liu Xian has long been disgusted with the climate in Houston, or it may be that he has been too busy since he arrived in North America, and he has no time to rest, and he is bored and uncomfortable when the weather is hot. But his own nature is not the kind of person who has a seizure to vent his emotions, and it is even more uncomfortable to hold it back. Naturally, the body will not be better. Even if it is not sick, it is sub-healthy.

Liu Xian drank two doses of medicine. The cold is better, but fortunately there is no fever. Submarine formations and destroyer and torpedo boat groups also came to China and the United States. It won't take you to Houston in a few days. The whole camp breathed a sigh of relief!

For this day, there are enough people in the camp. Most of them are northerners. This hot and humid climate weighs them out. Everyone counted the days and looked forward to the arrival of the naval formation.

A week later, torpedo boats first came to the port of Houston.

After three more days of waiting, twenty-five submarines and five destroyers, along with the corresponding transports, docked in the port of Houston. For the first time, the indigenous people of the East Coast of North America saw a Chinese submarine that made them smell so bad! It is a very deterrent weapon, because because of their existence, the United States and French joint navy do not dare to send large formations of warships to intercept them.

From the west coast of North America to the east coast of North America, tens of thousands of miles of ocean, only two destroyers, three torpedo boats and one supply ship were lost along the way. It's already a great luck. Even if these losses did not leave a single Franco-American attack cruiser!

The Americans and the French did not dare to send a large fleet to encircle and suppress this group of guys, who seemed to be thorns in the flesh, but the two dared to send high-speed cruisers to ambush the formation in the path through which it was necessary to carry out a surprise attack.

Battles are short, fast, and accurate!

In the shortest possible time, with the fastest speed and the most accurate shelling, the Chinese fleet was killed.

The first targets were submarines, then torpedo boats, and finally destroyers and supply ships. It's a pity that many ambushes failed to leave a single submarine behind.

On the same day, Liu Xian held a big banquet. Banquet for all the chief officers of the naval formation. At the banquet, Liu Xian drank two more glasses, and went to sleep when he returned to his accommodation that night. It was not until the next day that I continued to see the battle plan submitted by the naval formation.

Torpedo boats, together with a part of submarines and destroyers, were responsible for the security of Texas waters. Twenty-five submarines were divided into five formations, one remained behind. Four other groups headed for the northeastern coast of the United States, hunting down all ships that came and went. And send a part of the high-speed destroyers to cruise the Atlantic.

The battle plan as a whole is not at all new. This kind of plan can be imagined by ordinary people. The most valuable thing about this battle plan is the timing and sequence of the deployment and undertaking of each formation, as well as the tactical drills under the sea surface.

The submarines are the first of the Chinese Navy's submarines to be equipped with radios. So. The old tactics of the submarine forces will be broken!

"A month's time!" If it goes well, it will only take a month. China's submarine force will be able to make the United States feel the heavy pressure. And before that, China will also make a name for itself in the Western world. All international ships of trade and aid to the United States. will all become the prey of Chinese submariners!

Twenty submarines and a few high-speed destroyers will not completely cut off the shipping between North America and Europe, but it will at least increase the pressure on the transportation between the two sides exponentially. The North American Expeditionary Force has taken North and South Carolina and is now attacking Georgia. The Battle of Atlanta is now on its fifth day.

If Georgia had been contributed by the expeditionary force, most of the southern states of the United States would have been left with only half of Alabama and the whole of Florida.

More than one million U.S. troops are now left with half of the Southern Army. The southern route of the expeditionary force has been replenished, and now the strength of the expeditionary force has not decreased, but has increased to 600,000. Even if most of it were mule-like infantry, it would be enough to bulldoze Alabama and Florida. This will be an opportunity to end the North American War!

As long as the Americans are willing to make a temporary peace, Liu Siam can stay in Florida. The North American Expeditionary Force now has two million men, and although food and some ammunition and clothing can be taken care of in North America, China is also exhausted.

Anyway, it is impossible to destroy the United States in one fell swoop. The Europeans will not see the complete defeat of the United States. The Battle of the Mississippi River and Washington also deprived the expeditionary force of a chance for complete victory.

Once an opportunity is lost, it can never be recovered. The United States, with the full support of the Europeans, will not perish. In Liu Xian's view, since this war cannot completely defeat the United States, it will not disturb the overall situation to let the United States keep one more piece of land.

He was well aware of the dangers of fighting on two fronts. But they are more aware of the 'fatigue' of today's China. As long as China can rest sooner and digest the interests it has with peace of mind, China can bear this harm.

After the Houston incident was over, Liu Xian immediately left there. But he did not return to the north. Instead, he continued south and met Porfirio in Laredo. Dias. The dictator and dictator of Mexico, the current president of Mexico.

This dictator and dictator who stands up on the thigh of the United States. Now it has become a beast that is biting at American interests in Mexico.

As the expeditionary force crossed the Mississippi River, and as the American army lost the Richmond and Norfolk areas, and was split in half by the expeditionary force on land, Diaz's attitude towards the Americans changed dramatically.

Before, Mexico was like the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, a first-class 'foreigner' second-class official, and the Americans were the emperors of Mexico. But now that the United States has lost the war, and without the strength of the Americans as backing American businessmen, Dias will only regard them as fat sheep. so that they will not continue to be admired by them.

When both North and South Carolina were contributed by the expeditionary force, Dias turned his face and wantonly swallowed up the interests of the Americans in Mexico.

Now Dias's small vault is full of gold. The United States accounts for at least 70 percent of Mexico's hundreds of billions of pesos in foreign capital, and Díaz and his followers have swallowed at least half of it.

And some of this is something that they need to 'turn in'. The object of the surrender is naturally China, which has made the United States fall!

Now Liu Siam for Porfirio. Dias understands it thoroughly. This is a very skillful hero. Trapped by strength and external factors, Dias's dictatorship in Mexico was not a true sense of solipsism, but used his interests to kidnap the lords of large estates, priests, soldiers, local chiefs, bandits, etc., who had caused political chaos in the past, and made these former troublemakers. They have become supporters of their own [Dias].

Yas tread carefully during his first term. Since its independence in 1821, Mexico has experienced two foreign invasions by the United States and France, more than half a century of civil war and chaos, and the people are in desperate need of peace and stability. In response to this sentiment, Dias has adopted some conciliatory policies. There is no rush to change some of the policies of his predecessor. Whether it is Juárez's, Ledo's, or even as far away as the anti-church decrees of President Farias before the Reformation War (1858-1860), as long as there are written and customary laws that are still in effect in daily life. are all maintained for the time being. Favors were given to the Ledo, Juárez, and Porfiglio factions, which politically stabilized the liberal and conservative factions. And in view of the lessons of the past military interference in politics. Dias stripped the generals of their military power and gave them generous salaries. Then they were sent to the place. Take advantage of the contradictions between the local governor and the military governor to cancel each other's forces. Politically, Díaz also practiced a bit of democracy, with newspapers "free" to express their opinions and the judiciary to maintain "autonomy". The country of Mexico is much more stable than before, the people live relatively stable, and most people gradually have a good impression of Dias.

In 1880, Díaz's first term as president expired and he stepped down as scheduled. His good friend Gonzalez became president. Although Dias is ostensibly at home, he is still in charge of the political situation. Gonzalez was born in a reckless manner, and he did not know how to govern, and all the policies of the country were based on the old pedigree of Dias. But Dias still deliberately slandered him, so that his prestige could not be maintained. In 1884, Gonzalez stepped down amid opposition. Dias pretended to be reluctant to become president again.

After coming to power for the second time, Dias used the prestige he had already gained to gradually impose a dictatorship through deception and coercion. When he came to power, he presided over constitutional amendments that first allowed the president to serve two consecutive terms, and then removed all restrictions. He later maintained his rule by rigging elections and assassinating his opponents. But he was a very clever politician and knew how to direct public opinion, in his own words, "bread or stick." That is, those who obey his rule are to be fed, and those who resist are to be given a drink and severely suppressed. Dias said: "A dog with a bone in its mouth will neither bark nor bite".

At that time, there were still various political forces in the Mexican political scene, such as the Juárez faction, the Ledo faction, the Porfiglio faction, and so on. Due to the discord between Díaz, mutual discord often occurs. The factional struggle not only weakened each other's forces, but also diverted attention from Dias. Each faction wanted to rely on Dias for its own interests, and Dias sat back and reaped the benefits of the fisherman. Under his co-optation, division, and disintegration, all political forces turned against each other, but they could not exert enough pressure on Dias's rule.

In order to consolidate his position and prevent his subordinates from rebelling, Dias often created discord between the governors of the divided states and the garrison generals, allowing them to supervise each other and consume each other. The disputes that arose were arbitrated by Dias, allowing him to take the initiative in his subordinates. He allowed the local military governor to be re-elected, and could even transfer his official position to his relatives, friends, and subordinates, on the condition that he swore allegiance to him. The dictator had a firm grip on Mexico with a feudal subordination. (To be continued......)
