"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, thank you very much for the help of the Chinese Empire to Mexico. The Chinese Empire would henceforth be Mexico's best ally. The United States is much stronger than Mexico, and we have to confront the United States, which lacks a lot of things. We don't have enough military money to recruit troops, we don't have enough weapons to arm the army. In addition, we don't have enough food. Minister Adalus said. Mexico today can be said to be poor and white. Against the United States, they have no chance of winning at all. The Chinese Empire suddenly jumped out to help them, which made Minister Adalus feel like a drowning man grasping at a straw and placing all his hopes on the Chinese Empire!

Lin Zihao couldn't help frowning, how can this Mexico lack everything! Then how are they going to fight with the Americans. In addition, looking at the appearance of Minister Adalus, is this treating the Chinese Empire as a wronged leader?

"Your Excellency, you know, we are now also fighting against the Manchus and Russia. Spring is just around the corner, and large-scale military operations are about to begin. As a result, we are also facing great difficulties. The assistance we can give to Mexico is very limited! Lin Zihao said. What he meant by this was to sue Adarus not to regard the Chinese Empire as a wronged man. The relationship between the Chinese Empire and Mexico was not very close in the first place, and the Chinese Empire was willing to assist Mexico, which was already taking care of them. Don't try to get more out of the Chinese Empire.

Minister Adalus nodded, Lin Zihao's words. Sobered him up. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and the Chinese Empire is a big country, but why should they selflessly help Mexico?

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. Thank you very much to the Chinese Empire! Minister Adalus said. No matter what kind of help the Chinese Empire gives them, it is already very rare for the Chinese Empire to stand up and help them at this time!

"Your Excellency, the Empire can support Mexico with a batch of weapons free of charge! If you need to, you can leave for Mexico. Lin Zihao said. During the wars of the Chinese Empire against the Manchus and Russia, a large amount of weapons and equipment were captured. The Russians were a little worse in weaponry, but the Manchus were no worse in weaponry. All are new breech rifles from the UK. This is a rifle, even more advanced than the rifles that the Americans are equipped with. The rifles that the U.S. Army is equipped with are also imitations of Western rifles. Because of the process. They don't make it at home. However, this is also much more advanced than the rifles equipped by the Mexican Army.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary!" Minister Adalus hurriedly said. The Chinese Empire provided Mexico with a batch of weapons free of charge, which is already very good. However, it is not known how many weapons will be aided to them. Estimates of Minister Adalus. There must be a few thousand rifles! That's the case. Mexico could also organize an army of several thousand more to fight the Americans.

"Your Excellency, we can provide Mexico with 50,000 rifles, plus 200 artillery pieces of various calibers! If Mexico agrees, we can send a ship to Mexico. On the west coast of Mexico, there should be US Navy warships cruising, and you yourself will not be able to transport those weapons back! Lin Zihao said.

"Ahh Thank you so much to the Chinese Empire! Minister Adalus was in ecstasy. Originally, he thought that the Chinese Empire would only help them with a few thousand rifles. I didn't expect the Chinese Empire to help them with 50,000 rifles and 200 artillery pieces in one go! If the Mexican government wants to buy it. That's a lot of money! Now Mexico's finances are already poor and cannot be revealed, where is the money to buy weapons? If this batch of aid is received from the Chinese Empire. Mexico can even arm an army of tens of thousands of people and continue to fight against the United States, maybe it will be able to defeat the United States! In this case, Mexico's crisis will be lifted.

"Your Excellency, we are also very happy to be able to help Mexico and support the just struggle in Mexico!" Lin Zihao said.

"By the way, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, can Mexico lend money to the Chinese Empire? Once we have weapons, we will need a military budget to be able to recruit troops to fight the Americans. In addition, it was necessary to purchase large quantities of war materials during the war. Minister Adalus whispered. The Chinese Empire has already given them a batch of weapons for free. Now it is necessary to open the mouth to borrow money from the Chinese Empire, which seems to be a bit of an inch.

"Loans? I'm sorry, Your Excellency. The empire is now also at war, and the pressure on various funds is also great. In this regard, I am afraid, there is nothing we can do. Mexico may be able to find a way to do it with the West. Lin Zihao said. The reason why the Chinese Empire was willing to provide such a large number of weapons to Mexico free of charge must have some plan. If the Mexicans were to be given any more loans, the purpose of the Chinese Empire would not be achieved.

Minister Adalus looked disappointed, and after the war began, Mexico also asked for help from Western countries. However, none of the Western countries believed that Mexico was capable of defeating the United States. Even if it was a loan to Mexico, it was a complete waste. Moreover, it remains to be seen whether poor Mexico will be able to repay those loans. Therefore, Western countries only expressed sympathy for Mexico's plight, and did not give Mexico any assistance at all, let alone loans.

"Your Excellency, we have approached Western countries, but we have been refused. Western countries are simply bullish on Mexico. Minister Adalus said with some frustration.

Lin Zihao nodded, in fact, if it weren't for Emperor Long Yufei who proposed this plan, the Chinese Empire would not have planned to intervene in the war in North America. After all, North America was too far away from the Chinese Empire. It was difficult for the Chinese Empire to influence North America.

"Your Excellency, I have a way to raise enough money for your country!" Lin Zihao said with a smile. He looks like an uncle who kidnaps underage girls.

"Oh? What's the solution? Duke Adalus looked at Lin Zihao with an earnest gaze. Mexico is now almost desperate. The only thing that can be counted on may be the Chinese Empire, which suddenly has a good impression of Mexico!

"Your Excellency, the Empire is interested in the territories of northern Mexico, which Mexico can sell to the Empire. In this case, Mexico will have a lot of money to arm its army against the United States! Lin Zihao said.

"What?" Minister Adalus was shocked. He never imagined that the Chinese Empire was actually interested in the territory of Mexico. No wonder the Chinese Empire was going to the aid of Mexico, which turned out to be aimed at Mexican soil. Minister Adalus was very sad and indignant, he had long thought that there was no such thing as a free lunch. How could the Chinese Empire, a big country that has little friendship with Mexico in normal times, suddenly jump out to support Mexico? Now, he figured it all out. It turns out that the Chinese Empire also has a plan!

"Your Excellency, don't be too busy refusing yet. In this war between Mexico and the United States, Mexico has no chance of winning. With your current national strength, you won't be able to hold out for long. If Mexico is defeated, those territories will belong to the Americans. When the time comes, Mexico will get nothing. If you can sell these territories to the Empire, you can also get a large sum of money to arm your army. In addition, if the empire's power expanded into North America, it would not be harmful to Mexico. At that time, the United States will have much less pressure on Mexico in order to deal with the empire. Your Excellency the Minister may report our request to the country. How Mexico's domestic response will be, we will talk about it then. Of course, even if Mexico does not agree to sell those territories to the Empire, the aid that the Empire promises to give Mexico will still count! Lin Zihao said. This time, the Chinese Empire's approach was somewhat like taking advantage of the fire, which must have made the Mexicans feel a little uncomfortable. However, this is undoubtedly the best way for Mexico. Once they admit defeat, they will get nothing.

Minister Adalus tried to calm himself down, he knew that what Lin Zihao said was reasonable. If Mexico is defeated by the United States, those territories in the north will be taken by the Americans. In the end, Mexico gets nothing. If they could sell it to the Chinese Empire, they could also get a large sum of money. In this way, they may be able to defeat the United States.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I see. I'll get back to home right away. I'll get back to you when there is a reply in the country! Minister Adalus said.

"Of course!" Lin Zihao nodded. At such a time, as long as the leaders of the Mexican government were not kicked in the head by a donkey, they would not refuse the friendship of the Chinese Empire. After all, this is their only chance to get out of this situation.

Minister Adalus left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, and on the way back to the Legation, he had been thinking about the words of Lin Zihao, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire. There is no doubt that Mexico has reached a point of desperation. If they did not agree to the conditions of the Chinese Empire, they would have lost even more. With the loss of a large part of its territory in the north and the heavy loss of its army, Mexico will completely lose its capital to confront the United States. If the Chinese Empire intervenes in North America and Mexico can have good relations with the Chinese Empire, perhaps, the situation in North America can be turned upside down! (To be continued......)
