Aside Secretary of State Knox asked, "Now that General huerta has reached this stage, it is said that Dias is doomed. Have you never thought of replacing him?"? You must know that your ability is far from Diaz! "
Huerta said slowly with a shock, "Mr Knox, this matter is no joke. After all, Diaz is the elected president. I want to replace him, and there must be a proper reason! And even if I can take the place, can Dias stop Sevakins and I stop Sevakins? Now the key is not here, but the commander of the Guards. I already know very well. I don’t know how that Sevakins actually handed over all the military headquarters to two generals of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. These two people are really fierce. Honestly, I have no chance of winning in the face of them! "
Knox laughed. "Mr. Certa, if you really are, you will get the support of our American government. It’s not without a chance of victory in the face of Sevakins. The biggest reason why you are losing ground is that the original main army has been beaten out of the water. Now it’s all caused by some recruits’ inexperience and low tactical ability. If you get our help, the combat effectiveness of your soldiers will rise to a higher level in the short term. I think you should be more confident?"
Certa one leng asked "Mr Knox, I don’t know what you mean …"
Pershing replied, "It’s very simple. Although Mexico City is important, it is not the only factor that determines the situation in Mexico. The northern part of Mexico occupies two-thirds of the whole area of Mexico. Even if a few more States are captured by the guards, you can still win if you can hold back their offensive steps and win a breathing space for the future counterattack. After all, the north is much stronger than the south in terms of human resources and financial resources, and you can also get the support of our American government nearby! Although we can’t send troops directly, we can also send military advisory groups to your troops like the Republic of China and Germany! Help you train the army and you can fight the command consultant at the same time! "
Huerta was shocked when he heard this. It seems that the US government is really disappointed with Diaz and thinks Diaz can never reverse the current situation.
Knox went on to say, "And Diaz is now completely passive because of him. We signed an agreement on the mass murder in the presidential palace. This influence can be said to have been saved by law. If Mexico City falls, Diaz will never have a chance to turn over again. But you are different. You have our support and the military and political circles have connections behind you. It is much easier to get rid of Diaz’s notoriety and make a comeback! Even if it is impossible to defeat Sevakins and regain the entire Mexican rule, it is not impossible for General Certa to see you from the beginning! "
I have to say that the U.S. government’s analysis of the situation in Mexico is also in place at ten o’clock. Since Diaz can’t help Adou, it is better to replace Diaz’s position with a vegetarian meal. Of course, this ruler must not regard Sevakins as this Certa. The U.S. government and military have always been good, and their ability and prestige are all good. If they want to increase their support for him, they can successfully turn over and regain Mexico and gradually lose their great influence!
Huerta gritted his teeth and said, "OK, I did it, but Mr. President, you must increase your support for me, otherwise I will still be no match for them!"
Pershing said with a smile, "This is natural. Our Ministry of National Defense has made a decision to send two elite battalions of the US military from El Paso and Herredo to Mexico, and at the same time send an elite advisory group to the north of Mexico. Although it is urgent to recruit and train an army, the effect is not obvious, but it is much better than those recruits you just recruited on the battlefield. In addition, we will allocate military materials worth two million dollars to you. You equip the army!"
Certa sink a way "good! But I want to know what I will pay for it! "
Knox laughed. "Good General Certa is really quick to talk. Our request is simple. In the future, once you occupy the high position of Mexican president, we ask you to give us Americans exclusive oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico for 50 years!"
As we all know, the oil reserves in the Gulf of Mexico are amazing, and the oil quality here is very good, which is a rare high-quality oil field in the world. Americans have long coveted the Gulf of Mexico!
How much oil will Americans take from the Gulf of Mexico in fifty years? That will be an astronomical figure, billions and billions!
What an appetite!
Huerta’s eyebrows are raised, and their appetite for oil exploitation in the Gulf of Mexico is too great. If he really signs this agreement, he will become a sinner in Mexico forever!
However, the current situation is that if you don’t promise, you will be afraid that Mexico will have no place to stand. The head of the government army, Sevakins, will never let himself go easily, and then you will be afraid that you will be able to go into exile and have a difficult home.
Huerta mused, "Mr. Knox, this condition is too harsh. If I promise you, we will face the stigma of Mexicans being nailed firmly! I propose to shorten the adoption time by 20 years. After 20 years, can you have the priority to renew the contract … "
Knox shook his head and replied, "Twenty years? Time is too short for us to get anything at all. You must know how much manpower and force we will invest to support you in the war. Even if we send oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico, it will be a huge investment, and both exploration and production will require a lot of equipment! "
Huerta still doesn’t agree with this opinion, and he will definitely bear it for fifty years!
The two sides have been arguing until sunset, and the West has reached a compromise. The United States has been exclusively collecting taxes for 50 years, but it needs to pay compensation to the Mexican government normally. Once the oil field speaks, even what taxes are a very considerable figure will bring great benefits to Mexico.
Chapter one thousand seven hundred and forty-five huerta heart
After the agreement is set, everyone’s facial expression department is relaxed.
Knox asked, "General huerta, in your opinion, how can you save the day from the current situation in Mexico?"
Huerta pondered for a moment and replied, "Mr. Knox only relies on force to confront the reality, but our chances of winning are only 50% to 60%. After all, the Guards have now expanded to five or six divisions, especially their newly established Central Division. According to intelligence reports, almost all the officers in this Central Division have returned from studying in the Republic of China, and military students have learned a lot from the Chinese Revolutionary Army. Compared with our middle-level officers, the gap is not small. I mean, we can disintegrate the enemy from behind the war and make their camp disorder. Then our opportunity will really come!"
"Oh?"
A few people were surprised not to think that this Certa really had a few brushes that actually thought of differentiating from Sevakins’ camp. If the plan really succeeds, then it is really possible to win according to huerta’s acceptance of strength!
Taft quickly asked, "General Certa, do you have a definite plan now?"
Huerta shook his head and replied, "There is no mature plan yet, but I know that the Democracy-Freedom Alliance is not monolithic. Several of their leaders also have differences because they have to unite in the face of Diaz, a powerful opponent. Once Diaz is defeated, it is not impossible for the Democracy-Freedom Alliance to collapse. At the very least, the great presidency can be made by one person. Who doesn’t want to sit in the face? Everyone will have different thoughts! Whether the loser can accept such results is still ambiguous! "
Pershing has little interest in politics, but Taft Knox is much more sensitive!
The two men looked at each other sensitively and realized that there was something profitable in it!
Knox asked, "huerta, what do you know about the Democratic-Liberal Alliance?"
Huerta replied, "First of all, these people have different strengths. First, madero once studied in the United States. At the same time, he has a lot of support among the bourgeoisie. His ideas are relatively liberal and the Mexican state is very prestigious. His main objection is that Diaz dictatorship has no strong will to exclude the United States; Second, the same is true of Ponchovera. Both of them have been famous in Mexico for many years, and they are old political leaders. Third, Villa is a representative of the Mexican peasant class, with strong anti-American sentiment and relatively strong military power. His country is a life-and-death rival, and the contradiction is difficult to resolve. Fourth, this Sevakins was a newcomer who was quietly heard that the Speaker of the Mexican State was elected as the governor of the Mexican State just the year before last. However, because the guards were almost controlled by him and supported by China and Germans, he has become the most powerful person in Mexico! "
Huerta paused here and looked at Knox Taft.
Two people’s eyes are shining. Certa’s analysis is so reasonable. Four people, almost everyone, have different political positions. They are not monolithic because they are opposed to Diaz. There is a strong imagination in this. Even if Certa fails in the end, you can choose one person from it to safeguard the interests of the Americans again. It depends on how lucky it is.
Huerta paused for a moment and then said, "There is no doubt from the current situation that once Mexico City is captured and the general election is held again, Sevakins can definitely win the presidency with strong military strength and great hope among students and workers, but this will inevitably attract dissatisfaction from madero and others. After all, madero’s Ponchovilla country is relatively older and definitely not inferior to Sevakins’ disagreement. That is our good opportunity. My plan is to keep an eye on madero Ponchovilla." As soon as the two of them change, we will send someone to contact them and behead them first. Without their support, Sevakins will never be able to speak alone! "
Taft laughed and said, "That’s good. You’re absolutely right! General Certa, this plan is absolutely perfect. Once it is successfully implemented, you will be one step closer to the real presidency of Mexico. Even if you give the presidency to madero or Ponchovera, what if you are afraid that you will firmly control the army and the whole of Mexico will still be in charge! "
Huerta laughed. "President Taft still needs your strong support! Please also ask your country to expel the US troops into northern Mexico as soon as possible. I will immediately order the removal of the military blockade on the Mexican border and complete the recruitment of 500,000 to 100,000 people to form five divisions as soon as possible when the northern Mexico recruits for half a month! "
Pershing replied, "Well, General Certa, I will make the US military settle in two cities before long, and the day after tomorrow, we can enter Mexico. The rest is up to you!"
Huerta hesitated and replied, "General Pershing alone is not enough for us to carry out large-scale conscription. We also need a huge army. At present, I have nothing!"
Taft waved his hand and asked, "This is a small matter. How many lessons does it take to recruit five divisions?"
Huerta hesitated and replied, "One million dollars is a must for conscription, which means that you need reimbursement …"
Taft replied firmly, "Well, there is no problem. I will support you with a one-time support of 1.5 million US dollars. Your recruitment should be able to make you stand firm in northern Mexico. It is absolutely worthwhile to spend this money!"
Knox said, "Certa, you’d better stay in the United States these days and wait for the opportunity!"
Huerta one leng soon woke up at this time to go back to Mexico City, even if it is afraid that it will also help Mexico City to fall. It is already a certain thing. It is not a difficult thing to wait for Dias to fall. Once Dias falls, he will come forward just to clean up Dias’ remnants and take over his prestige!
Chapter one thousand seven hundred and forty-six Soldiers surround Mexico
Certa, Washington, D.C., sits firmly on Diaoyutai, but the fighting in Mexico has become fierce.
On the second day from Certa to Mexico City, the Guards laid siege to Mexico City on three sides.
Originally, it was not so easy to break through Mexico City. Diaz had a large number of troops near Mexico City to fight a decisive battle, but without Certa and Lien Chan’s losing streak, Diaz had long since lost the courage and determination of the wild guards to fight a big war
Diaz, the strategic highland in the southeast and southwest of Mexico City has arranged two brigades respectively, and at the same time, the main army has been shrunk into Mexico City, ready to stick to it until Certa returns
The former Diaz thinks that there should be no problem in trying to cope with the situation that two highland Mexico cities have formed a corner, but he overestimates the morale and fighting spirit of his government army. Now the government army has been defeated one after another, and there is no determination to fight. There is a fear in the bones for the guards!
After the completion of the settlement by the Guards, the arrow of the Central Division of Liuqingcheng attacked the government forces in the southeast direction outside the city!
