    ??Internationally, it has not had much impact on the establishment of the new Mexican government.  Although Mexico has a large land area and a large population, with more than 13 million people, due to long-term suppression by the United States, Mexico is very poor, and its industry is almost blank except for light industry and mining.  Such a country naturally has no social status in the world.

    However, the member states of the Allied Powers have issued announcements one after another, not recognizing the Madero government, and still regard the D¨ªaz government as the only legitimate government of Mexico.  However, except for the United States, other member states of the Allied Powers have taken no other actions. They have only expressed spiritual support for the wars the United States is conducting in Mexico and China.  It is simply impossible to get countries such as Britain, France, and Russia to substantively support the United States.  Britain and France have not yet recovered from last year's Middle East war.  As for Russia, after being defeated by China last time and losing a large area of ??territory, it has been licking its wounds and working hard to regain its strength. Naturally, it does not want to be involved in a war at this time. Now, this battle is about to begin.  At the doorstep of the United States, the United States has great confidence in fighting this battle!

    Several member states of the Allied Powers issued statements recognizing the Madero government as the only legitimate government of Mexico.  However, both Germany and Austria-Hungary hope that China can control the scale of the war and not break out a full-scale war with the United States at this time.  The countries of the Allied Powers are not yet ready for war.  A large number of warships are still being built.  Various strategic materials are still being reserved.  It is expected that after four to five years.  Only the national strength of the Allied Powers will reach its peak.  However, by that time, the Allies may have already prepared for war.  It can be foreseen that the war will be a protracted one!

    After capturing Mexico City and establishing a new government, China entered the Mexican army.  Having completed their rest and recuperation, they began to advance north of Mexico City, preparing to face the US army entering Mexico.  At this moment, the U.S. Second Army and the Third Army have captured San Luis Potosi.  However, what is surprising is that after the US military captured San Luis Potosi.  He stopped going south and instead built a defensive position there. He seemed to have no intention of going further south.

    In addition, the United States¡¯ First Army also gave up advancing along the Pacific coast after China¡¯s supply base moved south.  They turned to San Luis Potosi and came to join the main force of the US military.

    At 11 a.m. on February 10, Beijing time, after completing official duties for the day, Wang Yuze was discussing the war in Mexico with Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu.  Although, in this battle.  The Chinese army only invested more than 50,000 people and some warships from the Pacific Fleet.  But Wang Yuze is very concerned about this battle.

    "Your Majesty, Mexico's new President Madero is quite sensible. He basically has no objections to the conditions we proposed. The China-Mexico Friendship Treaty has been signed. At least until we defeat the United States, we can legitimately control Mexico's military and  Diplomacy! In addition, the Mexicans will also invest a lot of money in transportation construction in the north. By then it will be much easier for us to attack the United States!" Xiong Wu said with a smile.  Now Xiong Wu is already looking a little old.  At nearly sixty years old, although he still looks energetic, he is no longer as good as in previous years.

    "This is the tragedy of a weak country! If we in Western Sichuan had not replaced the Manchu Qing Dynasty, defeated the Western powers after a series of wars, and established our imperial status in the world, our current situation would probably be even worse than Mexico's  !" Wang Yuze said.  This era has changed. China is now a powerful Eastern Empire, instead of the semi-colonial and semi-feudal country in history that was oppressed by foreign powers at will!  Moreover, the empire is still actively preparing for the next war so that it can replace the British Empire and become the world's hegemon after the war.  However, there are still many difficulties on this road, and it will take a long time to achieve it.

    Xiong Wu nodded. As an important member of Western Sichuan, he had a very deep understanding of this world.  The Western powers' plunder of colonies was very bloody and cruel. Moreover, their appetite was very big. In order to obtain more colonies, they used every means to deal with other countries.  China, on the other hand, almost became a colony of the great powers.  When he thought of this, he felt heart palpitating and at the same time felt a little lucky!

    "Your Majesty, we only have more than 50,000 people in Mexico, and the Americans have already invested 150,000. Moreover, they can add more troops at any time, and if we add more troops to Mexico, it will take at least ten days. I think  , should we dispatch some more troops to fight in Mexico?" Xiong Wu asked.  The ratio of forces between the two sides was one to three, which made him a little worried.  If the U.S. Army was still in the same state as it was a few years ago, he wouldn't have the slightest worry.  But in the past few years, the United States has also been vigorously developing its armaments. I just don¡¯t know how the U.S. Army¡¯s combat effectiveness has improved now!

    "No need for now! We are in Hawaii?,Only two infantry divisions remained.  In addition, if we continue to increase our troops, the Americans will also continue to increase our troops.  The Americans are fighting on their doorstep and have an advantage over us.  If too many troops are invested, our logistics will be under great pressure.  I believe that the soldiers on the front line can win victory for the empire!  "Wang Yuze said. Deep in his heart, he is not willing to break out a full-scale war with the United States now. The 'Han-class' battleship has begun to be outfitted, and the 'Hanxin-class' fast battleship is stepping up its construction. The layout in South America is also  It's not done yet. Now is not the best time to start a war.

    In addition, deep in Wang Yuze's heart, there are still deep concerns.  He hopes that after the war in Europe breaks out, China will launch another attack on the United States.  Otherwise, if China starts to attack the United States first, but the Germans fail to fulfill the secret agreement signed at the beginning, then China will be in misery.  The "Yellow Peril" theory in history was first proposed by William II. When the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded China, the Germans were also the commander-in-chief.  Wang Yuze didn't have much faith in Germany as an ally.  Germany's alliance with China is completely a last resort.  Therefore, until Germany first fights Britain and France, China will not take the lead in a full-scale war with the United States.

    Xiong Wu nodded and said nothing more.  In this general direction, Wang Yuze has always made the decision.  Then they, the ministers, will perfect the plan based on Wang Yuze's decision, and then execute it!

    "I think the Americans are definitely not willing to break out a full-scale war with us at this time. Therefore, the war must be limited to Mexico's borders. As long as we can defeat the American troops stationed in Mexico, perhaps the Americans will give in  Yes. Send a telegram to General Gao Chang and ask him to find a way to hurt the Americans. Only when the Americans are hurt will they compromise!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty! However, even if the Americans compromise and we control Mexico, the Americans can still build a strong defense line on the border between the United States and Mexico. Just like they did on the west coast of the United States!" Xiong  Wu reminded.  The Americans have built strong fortresses and fortifications on the west coast in places suitable for launching large-scale landing operations. This gives China a huge headache!

    "Haha! If Americans really want to build fortifications on the US-Mexico border, then I totally agree. There are many plains on the border between the United States and Mexico. If Americans want to build strong fortifications here, I don't know.  How much investment is needed? Although the United States is very powerful, it is already difficult for them to develop a large navy and a large army at the same time. If they build more fortifications, their investment in the navy and army will inevitably be reduced. This is for us  Words will be a good thing!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.

    Wang Yuze¡¯s order was sent directly to General Gao Chang.  After receiving the order, General Gao Chang did not dare to neglect it again.  More than 50,000 Chinese troops began to advance north.  The army of the new Mexican government was temporarily organized into 12 divisions. After leaving six divisions to defend the vicinity of Mexico City, the remaining six divisions followed the Chinese army and were pushed forward.  The Chinese side does not expect them to fight head-on with the Americans. As long as they can hold on to the Chinese army's logistical supply lines, they will be lucky!

    On February 25, the Chinese army arrived 30 kilometers away from San Luis Potosi.  The U.S. Second Army and the Third Army have already adopted a defensive posture.  The other First Army is still more than two hundred kilometers away.  It seems that before the arrival of the First Army, the US military does not intend to take the initiative to attack.

    San Luis Potosi is located in the fertile San Luis Valley, with an altitude of 1,877 meters, a mild and pleasant climate, and is at the foot of the San Pedro Mountains.  San Pedro Mountain is more than 2,000 meters above sea level. Small troops may be able to climb it, but it is not suitable for large troops to march.  Therefore, the only way to attack San Luis Potosi is through the San Luis Valley.  The US military has long been prepared and has deployed heavy troops in strategic locations in the San Luis Valley.  It is not easy for the Chinese army to break through the US military's defense line.

    That afternoon, General Gao Chang and Lieutenant General Yang Ming arrived at the front line in person to observe the terrain.  The mountains on both sides of the San Luis Valley are insurmountable.  At the same time, the US military built two lines of defenses south of San Luis Potosi.  At least 50,000 people were deployed on the fifteen-kilometer-long fortifications. With a large number of light and heavy machine guns and artillery, it was very difficult for the Chinese army to break through!
