As the sun went down, the White House, a building that had been more than 100 years old (completed on November 1, 1800, and was almost 116 years old by 1917) and the political center of the entire North American continent, was shining in the afterglow of the setting sun.

At this moment, in Wilson's presidential office, Wilson, Thomas and others have reached a relatively unanimous decision on the question of when to send troops to Europe, that is, to send troops at the most appropriate time, at least ......... It will have to be said after the Entente and the Central Powers have fought to the death again.

It's just that when Wilson, Thomas and others were still discussing in the office, they didn't know at this moment that they were just in a world where Yan Shao's history had changed.

From 1903 to the present, a full 14 years have passed, and in these 14 years, Yan Shao has done many things that can change the world, and it has indeed made many changes in the history of the world. For example, Yuan Shikai and Cai Ye, who should have died in 1916, were in their old home at this time (there was no stimulation of abdication, and their health was better than in history), and Cai Ye's body was even worse than ordinary people, but it was barely called healthy, and even on the Western Front in Europe, with the help of Liu Guangyuan and Wu Peifu and others, he commanded more than 500,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force, fought fiercely with the Germans, and even because of the victory of Verdun, it was called ' by many people in the newspapers The hero of Verdun', his camp was piled with what the French had issued to him. There were enough medals to crush him to death, although his face often looked a little pale because of the after-effects of tuberculosis. The body also seems a little weak, and even has the title of 'sick military god', but compared to the history of the death in November 1916 due to the misdiagnosis of German quacks, it is much stronger...

Although it has been introduced before, here is an introduction, in history, Cai Ye was widely spread because of the rumors with Xiao Fengxian, so after suffering from tuberculosis. It was misdiagnosed as syphilis by German quacks and treated with a more toxic and specific syphilis method. As a result, Cai's originally good body deteriorated completely, and in the end, although he changed to other ways of treatment, it was too late, but in this era. Even if Yan Shao didn't know about the German quack. Obviously, he would not think that Cai Ye would suffer from syphilis, after all, without being placed under house arrest by Yuan Shikai in Beijing, Cai Ye would not have the opportunity to contact Xiao Fengxian at all, let alone go to Bada Hutong to look for flowers and ask willows, and ordinary doctors certainly would not think that Cai Ye would suffer from syphilis...

And that Song Jiaoren, who should have died a long time ago...

Although it is unclear who killed him in history, Sun Yat-sen was expelled from China early and Yuan Shikai was also forced to go into the wilderness, although he was hated by many people in the position of minister of clean government. But under the protection of Yan Shao, Song Jiaoren did a very energetic job, not like in later generations. As a pure idealist and politician, he died at the gunpoint of others before he could heal this already sick country—————— although Yan Shao did not think that without him, Song Jiaoren alone could save the country, after all, history has proved that it is difficult for idealists to succeed...

Plus the replacement of Beiyang by the National Socialist Party, the early reunification of China, the Battle of Shandong, etc., etc...

This is only domestic, not counting the series of changes that have occurred abroad, for example, many later auto giants, including Ford, have been suppressed by Yan Shao and only have one breath, most of which have even been acquired by Yan Shao and become a brand under Yushi Group...

By this time, history had changed considerably, even the choices made after receiving the telegram.

————————————————————

Historically, when the British received this telegram, they did not deliver it to the U.S. government immediately, but waited for a while until they saw it as appropriate. On January 19, German Foreign Minister A. Zimmermann sent a secret instruction to the German ambassador to Mexico, von Eckhart, which included a further request that Mexico urge Japan to join the Allies. British naval intelligence intercepted and deciphered the cipher, and on February 24 gave the copy to the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, W.H. Page.

After getting the copy, Page immediately forwarded it to the U.S. State Department, and a full month had passed. However, the U.S. government did not immediately make it public, and it was only after a discussion that the State Department released it to the press on March 1.

Historically, there may have been many reasons why Britain postponed sending the telegram to the United States, but one of the main ones should be the hope that it would wait for Germany to announce an unrestricted submarine war, after all, the United States was already very disgusted with German submarines, and sending the telegram to the United States after Germany announced it would undoubtedly arouse the indignation of the United States against Germany...

As for why did he not deliver the telegram to the United States on the second day after the declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare in Germany? Although this had the same effect, it was clear that Britain had deliberately waited for the Germans to announce it before informing the Americans......... Although everyone knows that the British are indeed deliberate, but postpone it a little, after all, it will look better on the face...

I have to say that Britain played a pretty good game, in front of which there was a cruise ship stimulated by German submarines and Germany launching an unrestricted submarine war again, and behind it was the new stimulation of Zimmermann's secret telegram, which caused a wave of anger in the United States, and declaring war on Germany became a natural thing—————— the content of the cipher telegram was that if a war broke out between Germany and the United States, Germany would form a defensive alliance with Mexico, and Mexico would be able to reconquer the lost territory, that is, New Mexico, In places like Texas and Arizona, the United States is clearly unlikely to tolerate such content.

It should be noted that the Mexicans also seem to find the contents of this telegram somewhat unreliable, because trying to regain lost territory would inevitably lead Mexico to war with the more militarily powerful United States, whether or not Germany would have been so generous at all. Its financial support will remain almost worthless, and Mexico will not be able to use it to acquire weapons and other military hardware. After all, the United States is the only arms manufacturer of scale in North and South America, and. The Royal Navy's long control of the Atlantic sea route prevented Germany from providing enough weapons and military hardware to allow Mexico to regain lost territory. Moreover, even if Mexico succeeds in repairing its lost territory, accommodating or appeasing the local English-speaking population will be a severe and difficult test.

The most important thing is that the telegram was published by the Americans even when the Mexicans were still thinking about it, which shows that the Americans have understood the content of the telegram and will definitely be on guard against Mexico on the border, and the possibility of a surprise attack no longer exists.

So after some consideration. The Mexican government eventually rejected the proposal—————— and it should be noted that the United States had already declared war on Germany at that time, because Mexico had rejected it on April 16.

And the United States is after a month of preparation. Officially declared war on Germany on 6 April. However, the United States declared war on Austria-Hungary much later, eight months later, on December 7...

Of course, none of this matters...

The reason why the United States is keen to enter the war. One of the main reasons for this is to recover costs. In this war, the United States sold a lot of arms. The Entente had a lot of credit with the United States, and if the Entente collapsed, even if it was victorious, the Allies would obviously not be able to bear this debt...

Again, the United States owed Britain 400 million pounds before the war, and Britain owed the United States 800 million pounds or 1.2 billion pounds after the war, which is equivalent to the financial revenue of the United States in the past ten years.

If in the end the U.S. government doesn't get the money back. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but they were afraid that even the domestic merchants would go bankrupt one by one. It can be said that the United States and the Entente have already prospered and lost.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also the point of picking up cheap.

After all, Britain and France were both defeated by Germany on the Western Front, and what they lacked at this time was only the last straw that broke the camel's back, and with the size of the United States, not to mention the straw, no one dared to deny even another camel, not to mention that the industrial strength of the United States was not much different from that of the powers that participated in the war this time.

If in the end the United States chooses to side with the Entente, if it cannot help the Entente to win easily, I am afraid it will not be far behind...

——————————————————————

This time, however, things turned out to be a little different from history.

Historically, because the Western Front was mainly fought between Britain, France and Germany, the two sides could be said to have lost both, but in this world, there was such a special existence as the expeditionary force on the Western Front. Half a million Chinese expeditionary forces? It seems that there is a big gap with the size of the troops of Britain, France, Germany and other countries on the European battlefield, and even the Italians seem to be a little incomparable, after all, even the Italians have more than one million casualties on the Italian battlefield, but in fact, these 500,000 troops are pure combat troops, and there is no need to be like Britain, France and Italy, and they are stationed in various places, so it has naturally become a large force, not to mention that the national government has also promised that it will send 800,000 expeditionary forces.

At present, although more than 100,000 troops have been dispersed from the Middle East, at least nearly 200,000 troops will arrive in Europe, which is equivalent to more than 600,000. In addition, the equipment of the expeditionary force is very good, in addition to the heavy artillery, the rest of the A and B divisions are even better than the first-class troops of Britain and France, and even the C division, which is cannon fodder, is generally equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns and new pump-action shotguns, which are far more powerful than ordinary colonial troops.

Such a force, looking at Europe, no one will underestimate it.

As a result, Britain, France and Germany were evenly matched in history, but now with the help of the expeditionary force, the coalition forces have slightly overwhelmed the Allies on the Western Front.

Although the situation of the Russians on the Eastern Front seems to be somewhat dangerous, neither the British nor the French, nor the Russians nor the Americans actually know much about it.

In addition, the Americans also have the idea of taking this opportunity to let the European powers fight to the death, so they naturally hope to delay it for some time. Otherwise, if they come forward now, I am afraid that Britain and France will not have the intention of starting a war with the United States, but plan to wait for reinforcements from across the ocean to arrive. However, after the arrival of spring, it is precisely the most suitable season for war. If Britain and France really made a temporary truce with Germany and then waited for American reinforcements, what would ............... This is absolutely a regrettable thing for the ill-intentioned United States.

That's right. According to the Germans' estimates, it will indeed take a year for the United States to fully reinforce Europe, which is why the Germans dare to unleash their hands and feet in an 'unrestricted submarine war'. But in fact, in history, from the declaration of war on Germany in April, it took the Americans only more than two months to send an expeditionary force to Europe, of course, this is only a nominal expeditionary force. It's probably about the same as the original Chinese Expeditionary Force, maybe even worse, like the vanguard. And like the original expeditionary force, it can't be immediately thrown into the war...

On June 25, the first American troops arrived in France as the 'American Expeditionary Force'. However, U.S. soldiers did not work until October. None of them entered the trenches on the scale of divisional troops. These arriving troops still need to be trained and equipped before they can be effective. It took several months to achieve substantial combat effectiveness, so the U.S. military at this time was only assigned support missions. But that aside, the timely arrival of the U.S. troops gave the Allies time to breathe and recover their declining morale.

But now, Americans naturally don't need to be so anxious, but just need to sit next to them and watch the tiger fight.

Moreover, the objects of the Americans' desire to shed blood, in addition to the European powers, this time also included China.

Because for the United States. China is also a potential threat. Although relations between China and the United States are still good on the surface, the current US President Wilson and the previous two presidents have received Yan Shao's support. But when it comes to actual interests, I am afraid that it is difficult to have any friendship with each other—————— not to mention that each other is only a reciprocal relationship related to interests...

The geographical location of the United States is good, there are two oceans on both sides, Canada in the north is not the slightest threat, and Mexico in the south is somewhat threatening, but under the deliberate control of the US government, it has always maintained a relatively chaotic situation.

Compared with other countries surrounded by powerful countries, the geographical conditions of the United States are unprecedentedly good. However, the two oceans on both sides certainly bring distance security to the United States, but on the other hand, they also put the United States under pressure from two directions.

The United States today is not like the future generations, and its annual military spending is even about the same as that of all countries from second place to bottom combined, accounting for nearly half of the world's military spending. With such a powerful military, even if there is a threat from both sides, the United States does not need to worry too much.

Especially in the twentieth century, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the security situation of the United States is unprecedentedly good, especially in the face of maritime threats, except for the nuclear submarines of several powerful countries to worry about, with the huge aircraft carrier fleet, even if the navies of all other countries are added together, they are by no means the opponents of the United States Navy, and even half of the strength of the United States Navy may not be as good as...

In this way, the United States naturally does not have to worry, and even some attacks from the Middle East are only minor troubles, and they cannot hurt the foundation of the United States at all.

But in this era, the U.S. Navy is strong, but the navies of Britain and Germany will only be stronger than the United States.

The only trouble is Japan in the Far East, but the Americans have the Chinese card to use.

As long as China is the card, the United States can use China to contain Japan and ensure that Japan cannot pose any threat to the United States...

It is precisely because of this that the U.S. government has given considerable support to the Seventh Five-Year Plan and other projects in the hope that China can play this role well.

But who would have thought that China has not only completed this task, but also done it very well.

Originally, even after mobilization, the Japanese army, which had only 500,000 people, suffered more than 100,000 casualties in the Shandong Campaign, and the navy sank more than half of its main ships.

On the other hand, the Chinese government played an excellent role in the Shandong Campaign, and although the navy suffered some losses, it was very small compared to Japan, and after the Shandong Campaign, many Japanese sunken capital ships were salvaged from Longkou Bay, and they continued to be used after repair, including even the King Kong, a new type of battle cruiser that even the US Navy was somewhat eye-catching.

The Army's losses were a little larger. But compared to Japan, it can still be called a victory.

In addition, taking advantage of this war, Yan Shao took the opportunity to get back the originally lost rights and interests in the Northeast and some other things, and the situation that was originally strong and weak was suddenly reversed.

In addition, at this time, Europe is in full swing. There was no time to take care of the Far East, Japan was hit hard in Shandong, and with the free ride of the European war, China could almost be said to be developing rapidly without any restrictions...

If it continues to develop at the current pace, at least five years and at most ten years, China will be able to become one of the great powers. The threat is even greater than that of Japan. After all, as an island country, Japan's foundation is too poor compared to China.

Especially after the arrival of the expeditionary force in Europe and its participation in two battles of Verdun and the Somme. This further proves that the combat capability of the Chinese army is in no way inferior to that of the European powers.

As a result, the U.S. government quickly changed its position, and the relationship between the two countries, which was originally quite lively, suddenly became cold...

At the end of the day, there are a lot of potential conflicts between the two countries. Let's say the Philippines, which the United States inherited from Spain. And Guam, which was seized with him...

Taking 1917 as a point and looking forward, we can find that every power will inevitably expand after its rise, and East Asia and Southeast Asia are originally China's traditional power range, and China's expansion in East Asia and Southeast Asia is almost inevitable.

One could even say. The entire world has been almost divided by the great powers, and the rest. It doesn't seem necessary to say it explicitly...

Although some U.S. government officials have not immediately turned their minds due to the friendly relations in the past, it has become the consensus of many high-level U.S. government officials to impose some restrictions on China, and if they can intervene in this war later, China will lose more in Europe......... Even if it's just one or two thousand people, that's not bad...

Now the only thing Americans feel sorry for is that China is far away in Europe, and they can't bring China closer to this chaos, otherwise—————— just thinking about it, Americans feel a little beautiful...

————————————————————————

"Well, do you all agree?" Wilson asked with a grim face, looking at everyone present.

Of course, he can't be as arbitrary as Yan Shao for such a major matter, so he can only confirm it before confirming it.

Everyone in the office sank into Wilson's inquiry, and seeing this scene, Wilson didn't say anything more, just nodded. "Since everyone has no opinion, then I won't say anything more, I'll press down this telegram first, and I'll take it out when the time is right..."

After speaking, Wilson looked at the people in the office, and almost all the people in the office at this moment can be said to be high-level members of the U.S. government, including him, the president, the vice president, the secretary of state, and several ministers, etc., it can be said that most of the high-level people in the entire United States are already sitting here at this moment...

After making sure again that there was no objection, Wilson put the telegram away and set it aside, intending to keep it in a safe place later.

This was a very useful tool for Wilson.

No way, although Wilson himself is not against sending troops to Europe, the opposition on the side of Congress should not be too loud......... If Congress is against it, I'm afraid there will be some things about sending troops...

Historically, during World War II, although the United States had already been semi-substantially involved in the war in Europe, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before they formally participated in the war, but it was only after Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese that it officially entered the war.

So Wilson had to have an excuse, and this telegram was obviously a very good excuse...

As long as there is this telegram, even those guys in Congress will not oppose sending troops to Europe to punish Germany, so, as his advisers said, pick the right time, one that will not cost them too much, and at the same time will give them good benefits...

But before that, the US Secretary of War Newton, who had been sitting on the sidelines? D. Baker muttered for a moment before speaking.

"Do you want to inform the Mexicans about this first..."

"Notify the Mexicans?" Hearing Baker's words (called Newton somewhat disagreeable), Secretary of State Robert? Lansing couldn't help but frown. "Inform them of what is going on. Wouldn't that make them aware of this..."

"It's just to let them know the way..."The chief of staff of the U.S. Army who came with him, Xiu? Scott interjected, it was an old man who was already a long time old, with a pinch of white beard on his lips. Before 1903, the military chief of the army was the commander-in-chief of the United States Army, but after that, it was obviously not, and the chief of staff of the army was under the direct supervision of the secretary of war, responsible for army affairs and assisting the secretary in foreign affairs, and this time the matter was very critical, so Newton? D. Baker brought him with him. In fact, Wilson did need to listen to some professionals, after all, it was also about war. If you just let these elected government officials fiddle with them, I'm afraid things will be a little bit more ...

Got up from his seat, although Xiu? Scott's military rank is only major general, but he still looks straight at everyone present. "Please don't forget. This telegram is not just about whether or not we want to get involved in this war. There is also one more important thing in it, and that is the Mexicans......... The Germans sent this telegram to Mexico so that Mexico could contain us from the south, and what they promised was the territory that the Mexicans so longed for, and for some reason, I am afraid that the Mexicans would really want some people to come forward and teach us a lesson, and even they would like to be able to teach us a lesson with their own hands..." Repair? Scott couldn't help but sneer.

And to hear Xiu? Scott's words, Wilson and the others present showed a slightly embarrassed look on their faces.

————————————————————

What did Yan Shao start with? In the beginning, it was based on those novels. But to be honest, writing novels is indeed very profitable, but if you want to be rich enough to become the richest British woman with a Harry Potter like J.K. Rowling in later generations, with a Harry Potter, I'm afraid it's unlikely............... After all, the genders are different, and it is rare to know that Yan Shao is rare, even if he cuts himself, he can't become the richest woman.

As for the richest man, think about the Rockefeller gang who are engaged in oil, the money they get in one day is enough for Yan Shao to struggle for many years...

There are only two that really made Yan Shao start, one is invention, for example, a series of small inventions, one is 20,000, one is 30,000, and one is 50,000, a lot of small inventions add up to a lot of money, and for example, the filament sold to Edison, that time made a lot of money.

And after that, it was another fund that completely made Yan Shao start a business.

Petroleum...

With the money earned from selling filament, after buying a piece of land in Tampico, Mexico, it was with the oil produced in this land that Yan Shao finally got enough money to support him to show his skills in Anhui, before that, although Yan Shao also had a lot of money in his hands, but the dumping of the Japanese in Anhui and other places alone had already made Yan Shao a little unable to hold on, and with the agreement between the oil and Rockefeller that was discovered later, Yan Shao not only survived that time, but even took this opportunity to hit Japan's foreign bank in Shanghai...

It can be said that oil has a great contribution to Yan Shao's start in Anhui, of course, to this day, banks, automobiles and other industries have helped Yan Shao more than oil, and Tampico's interests are not much in Yan Shao's eyes, but every time he talks about his own business, Yan Shao still reads the word oil in his heart.

And repair? The reason why Scott sneered, Wilson and his face looked more embarrassed, also has a lot to do with the word oil.

I remember saying that before the discovery of a large amount of oil in Mexico, Mexico itself did not tax things underground, such as oil, so at the beginning, neither Yan Shao nor Rockefeller did not need to pay taxes to Mexico for oil—————— think about how many billions of business a year, how much money does Mexico make if you don't need to pay taxes? Yan Shao: How much more money can they make?

At that time, the financial revenue of the great powers such as Britain and France was only more than 100 million pounds a year, which was definitely not a small amount...

As a result, the Mexican government began to think about how to nationalize the oil, but this was tantamount to stealing the tiger's mouth, and neither the U.S. government nor the oil dealers could tolerate such behavior, so in 1911, President Dias, the first Mexican president to be overthrown because of oil, was overthrown, and the years of turmoil began in Mexico. In place of Díaz was Madero, who came to power with the support of the United States. However, after coming to power, Madero adopted a policy of protecting national industry.

Although he is the president of Mexico, in the final analysis, he is just a puppet supported by the United States to come to power, and it is conceivable what the result will be if the puppet is so ignorant. So the U.S. government and U.S. oil companies subverted him again.

By July 1914, when the First World War had almost begun, Carranza, supported by the United States, came to power. But according to information received by the U.S. government, the Mexican government, under the auspices of Carranza, is introducing a new constitution that it intends to adopt in the next few days (historically on February 5, 1917, that is, a few days later). This was a turning point in the history of Mexico's oil industry. Because the new constitution clearly declares that the state is the absolute owner of all Mexico's mineral resources, phosphates, oil, and hydrocarbons; The Government has the right to confiscate any land that it deems to be detrimental to the interests of the State. Foreigners are not allowed to own land within 100 kilometers of the Mexican border and within 50 kilometers of the coastline......

It is conceivable that if such a constitution is passed, the interests of British and American oil companies in Mexico will be greatly damaged. So...

After the lessons of the previous two presidents, although the British are now busy fighting the Germans in Europe, it is self-evident what the US government will do.

So, if the new president does not want to be like his predecessor. Or if the former predecessor was subverted and stepped down. The only thing that can be done is to strike first, that is, to attack the United States first while there is German support...

Although Mexico is so small compared to the United States, which also makes this possibility very small, but Mexico is small, but the United States is only strong in industry, in fact, the standing military is not very strong, so if Mexico suddenly strikes. Before the United States officially mobilizes and mobilizes enough troops to cost Mexico. Mexico's own military strength alone is enough to make the United States uncomfortable...

————————————————————

"So..."After a deep groan, Wilson looked at Xiu, who only had the rank of major general. Scott, with an inquiring look on his face.

"So, I think we should have some private communication with the Mexicans, so that they understand that we know about their ties with the Germans and are prepared for it, so that we can cut off the Mexicans' luck mentality..." Scott's expression darkened. "In fact, before mobilization, our war capability was relatively weak, at least in terms of total strength, and it was definitely inferior to the powers that had now entered a state of war, and if the Mexicans really had the luck to launch a surprise attack on us, before we had fully mobilized our industrial potential, I am afraid ......... So a warning to the Mexicans is absolutely necessary..."

Hear Xiu? Scott's words, everyone present nodded together, and Thomas and the others also showed a look of approval on their faces.

Indeed, if the Mexicans take a cold, I am afraid that the current strength of the United States alone will really be more uncomfortable.

Of course, in this way, they do not need to go to Europe to help, and they do not have to worry about the soldiers being drawn into the bloody wars of Europe. But if the Mexicans are really laissez-faire, I am afraid that the flames of war will burn to the United States, so that the losses of the United States may be greater than those of Europe, and even if the losses are not as great as those of Britain and France, they will be...

At least after the whole war, the only one who did not suffer losses was probably China—————— of course, this refers to the participating countries, not the chaotic supporting countries...

————————————————————

After adopting the repair? After Scott's opinion, Wilson kept the telegram given to him by the British down under the pretext that it was being discussed, and at the same time contacted the Mexicans and informed the Mexican government of the telegram.

Knowing that the Americans already knew the whole thing, Mexican President Carranza, who had some hands-on thoughts, really broke off this idea completely, after all, compared with the United States, Mexico is too small, if the Americans don't know about this matter, the Mexican government may still have some upper hand in the early stage, and hold on until Germany wins, but if the Americans know...

Whether he can still gain the upper hand by surprise attack, this Carranza is not clear...

It's just that...

Carranza is already implementing a new constitution, and if he doesn't do it and thinks about his predecessor and his predecessor, what will happen to him, Carranza knows what will happen to him, so although he dismisses the idea, but...

However, in order to ensure the security of the rear, the Americans made some promises to Carranza, such as acquiescing to the new constitution introduced by Carranza...

In China's parlance, this is a delaying tactic by the United States, using such a strategy to temporarily solve Mexico's problems, and then solve Europe's problems first, and when Europe's problems are solved, they can naturally go back and start to solve Mexico.

Unaware of this, Carranza received a promise from the Americans, and Carranza and many Mexicans cheered that they had finally won, and thus broke off the idea of an alliance with Germany once and for all.

It's just that...

In fact, in history, Carranza also fell for the United States' not very complicated ploy as now, and the result was that he was overthrown by the U.S. government like his predecessor and his predecessor...

After the success of the new constitution, taking advantage of the fact that the United States was already involved in the European war, on February 18, 1918, Carranza issued an order in accordance with the new constitution: the rent of oil reserves, the royalties of mining areas, and the tax on the oil extracted.

This one, too, is aimed at those oil merchants.

What would have been said if this constitution had come out a few years earlier......... I am afraid that Yan Shao will have to pay taxes, because this constitution stipulates that the extracted oil must be taxed, unlike in the past, the Mexican government does not have much control over the underground resources.

This kind of constitution undoubtedly harmed the interests of American businessmen, but at this time, the United States was already deeply involved in the war in Europe, and it simply could not spare enough strength to solve Mexico's problems, so the US government could only support the policy of American oil merchants in Mexico to oppose the Mexican government.

And then...

When the First World War was over and the U.S. government was relieved, the Americans began to do some of the things they used to do...

Subversion...

In May 1920, Obregón staged a coup d'état that overthrew Carranza, and the Mexican president, who had regained his oil rights during his tenure, followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and predecessors.

However, when confronted with the U.S. government's demand that the new president repeal all the constitutions of 1917, the new president took measures that he flatly refused.

Truth be told, the president was a good president who kept Mexico in a relatively peaceful state during his tenure, but he was not recognized by the United States until the 1923 Cabrailli Conference, which pledged not to confiscate American oil companies.

And after he was re-elected in 1928, this poor fellow was assassinated...

As for who the killer is and who sent it, no one knows this...

————————————————————

Overall, having settled the Mexican problem, the Americans thought they could finally sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the European powers and China, the newly rising powers, fight each other, and intend to wait until the war was almost underway before intervening at the right time...

The Americans' calculations are good, but it's a pity...

After all, there is still some deviation between the ideal and the reality...

Because it didn't take long for a revolution to take place in Russia that no one expected...

All of a sudden, the situation on the European battlefield suddenly changed dramatically, and considering the interests of the United States in Europe, Wilson and others could not sit still...

This revolution is known in history as the 'February Revolution'... (To be continued......)
