    "Retreat? Why retreat? General Gao, the Americans are simply vulnerable! We were able to easily defeat the two armies of the Americans last night. We can take the opportunity to defeat the two armies on the east side, and finally cooperate with Sackett  Cass's army defeated the other four armies of the Americans. In this way, we can keep the Americans out of the defense line and don't have to worry about them attacking the hinterland of Mexico!" Pancho, Minister of Army of the Mexican Government.  Villa asked very puzzled.  At the beginning, he was very pessimistic and believed that he was no match for the Americans.  However, last night's victory in the battle made him feel confident!

    "Your Excellency Villa, the reason why we were able to easily defeat the US military last night was entirely because the US military was unprepared. Now, the US military will definitely strengthen its defenses. It is simply impossible to replicate last night's victory. St. Louis  To the east of Potosi, two armies of US troops are approaching, and there is at least one army to the north. Sactecas, on the other hand, has to face the siege of four armies of US troops. The war situation is very unfavorable to us! We need it now  What we do is to preserve our strength and trade space for time!" General Gao Chang explained.  He didn't just explain it to Pancho.  Villa listened, and even explained it to the generals of the Mexican government forces!

    After listening to General Gao Chang¡¯s explanation, most of the Mexican government army generals approved the retreat order.  However, there is still a knot in the hearts of some people.  After all, after they retreat, the Americans will drive straight into the hinterland of Mexico.  The troops of the D¨ªaz government in the north will also follow, which will definitely be a disaster for the people in southern Mexico.  After Mexico split into the Madero government in the south and the D¨ªaz government in the north, the two parties have been at odds with each other, and there have been many exchanges of fire near the dividing line.  Only God knows what kind of crazy actions Diaz's army will make once it reaches the south!

    "General Gao, if we retreat like this, Mexico will lose a lot of territory and people. This is unacceptable to the Mexican government!" Pancho.  Villa reminded.

    "Your Excellency Villa, obey the order!" General Gao Chang said coldly.  According to the treaty originally signed, after the war begins, the Mexican government forces will completely obey China's orders.  Even if Admiral Gao Chang doesn't explain it to them at all, it's completely fine.

    "Yes, General Gao!" Seeing that General Gao Chang was angry, Pan Qiao.  Villa had no choice but to say nothing more.  He only obtained the position of Minister of War with the support of China.  If China wanted to replace him, it would be a no-brainer.

    "Everyone, the current retreat is to better attack the Americans in the future. Our reinforcements are coming soon, and we will be able to launch a counterattack then.

    The territory lost by retreating now can be recovered in the future.  At that time, the Mexican government will not only be able to unify Mexico, but also take back a lot of territory that was previously occupied by the United States!  ¡± said Lieutenant General Yang Ming, Chief of Staff of the Sixth Group Army.

    After the order to retreat was issued, the Chinese defenders and Mexican government troops retreated southward as planned.  After the establishment of the Madero government in Mexico, in accordance with the agreement with China, a large amount of money was invested in improving Mexico's transportation, making Mexico's transportation facilities much better than before.  It was easier for the Chinese defenders and Mexican government troops to retreat southward along the lines of communication.

    Not only did the Chinese defenders and Mexican government forces gathered near San Luis Potosi retreat, but the Sixth Army's 10th Engineer Division in Sactecas also retreated south before the arrival of four US armies.  More than 100,000 Chinese troops and nearly 200,000 Mexican government troops withdrew from the northern defense line to the south. They retreated to Queretaro before stopping and building a new defense line here.  Two hundred kilometers south of Queretaro is Mexico City, the capital of Mexico.

    The sudden retreat of the Chinese defenders and the Mexican government forces surprised the US military. I don¡¯t know why the Chinese defenders had to withdraw after winning the battle.  Lieutenant General Per Xing even strictly ordered all ministries to stop pursuing and defend on the spot to avoid falling into the Chinese trap.  However, after the reconnaissance force reported that the Chinese defenders and the Mexican government forces had indeed withdrawn, Lieutenant General Pershing ordered the U.S. military to take over the defense line from San Luis Potosi to Sactecas.  After that, the U.S. military began to advance south.  By this time, the Chinese defenders and Mexican government troops had already moved south.

    Three hundred thousand troops from the Diaz government in northern Mexico also poured into the south. Although these troops were a mob, they were very brutal against civilians.  They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes, causing great harm to the Mexicans.  The four northern states of Mexico controlled by Diaz were originally barren and not as wealthy as southern Mexico.  You can only imagine what these crazy poor Diaz troops did after they arrived in the south!

    Chinese defenders and Colombian government troopsThe withdrawal shocked the Madero government that controlled Mexico.  When the US military began its offensive, the Madero government was already panicking.  However, in the subsequent battle, the Chinese defenders launched a surprise attack on the US military and won, which seemed to give the Madero government reassurance.  However, what they never expected was that after winning the battle, General Gao Chang directly ordered a retreat southward, leaving a large area of ??Mexican territory to the Americans.  This made President Madero of the Mexican government very dissatisfied. He immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Sixth Army to ask for the reason.  But I was told that this was a military secret!

    "The Chinese are about to be defeated by the Americans! The US military and Diaz's army are about to enter Mexico City!" Such rumors suddenly spread in Mexico City.  Many Mexicans were panicked. They packed up their belongings and fled Mexico City with their families and fled to the countryside.  Many officials in Madero's government also asked Madero to move the Mexican government to a safer place in the south.  Suddenly, the situation in Mexico became even more chaotic!

    On September 27, the US forward arrived in Queretaro and launched a fierce attack on the defense lines stationed by the Chinese defenders and Mexican government troops.  As more and more U.S. troops arrived, their attacks became more and more fierce, and the Chinese defenders and Mexican government forces suffered increasing casualties.  At this time, the Mexican government's confidence in resisting the US military is becoming less and less!

    On the evening of September 28, the Mexican Presidential Palace, the luxurious official residence that former Mexican President D¨ªaz spent a lot of money to build, now belongs to Madero.  This evening, Mexican Finance Minister Carles and Commerce Minister Taylor came to see President Madero.

    "Your Excellency, President!" Carls and Taylor were taken directly to Madero's office by the staff of the presidential palace.  After seeing Madero, the two men immediately saluted him.  Both of them can be regarded as Madero's confidants, and they are both spokespersons promoted by the Mexican bourgeoisie.  However, after the establishment of the Madero government, the Mexican bourgeoisie did not receive much benefit. The Mexican government invested a large amount of funds in the construction of transportation facilities in the north. This made the Mexican bourgeoisie very  dissatisfied.  However, at that time, the entire Mexico was under China's control, and even if they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it.  But now, the Chinese seem to be defeated by the Americans, which makes these bourgeois businessmen's minds come alive again!

    "It's so late, what can you do?" Madero asked directly after the secretary brought the coffee and exited.  During his several years as president, Madero has changed a lot.  The biggest change is that the original standard figure has become a big fat man!  It can be seen that after becoming president, I have enjoyed a lot in these years!

    "Your Excellency, I heard that the battle situation on the front line is very unfavorable. Queretaro's defense line is about to be breached by the Americans?" Finance Minister Karls asked first.

    Sure enough, Madero's face suddenly turned ugly, and he had been worried about this.

    ¡°The Chinese have promised that they will defend Queretaro.

    And even if the Americans captured Queretaro, even if Mexico City was captured by them, what would happen?  After the Chinese reinforcements arrive, the Americans are still no match for the Chinese!  "Madero said.

    "Your Excellency, this is not a good thing for Mexico. We have received some news that the troops of the dictator D¨ªaz are burning, killing and looting in the north, doing all kinds of evil. Our people are suffering!  ¡± said Commerce Secretary Taylor.

    "However, the government has no choice. The control of the army is in the hands of the Chinese. Not to mention me, even the Minister of War himself cannot mobilize even one battalion of the army without authorization!" Madero said with some annoyance.  The Mexican government army, from recruitment to training to the appointment of officers, is all handled by the Chinese, and the Mexican government has no way to interfere.

    "Your Excellency, the Chinese simply treat us as puppets. They continue to exploit Mexico, even more ruthlessly than the Spaniards did at the time." Finance Minister Carles said.

    ¡°Your Excellency, President, we must find a way to get rid of the control of the Chinese!¡± Secretary of Commerce Taylor also took the opportunity to say.

    "But, China is too powerful, and we have no ability to fight against the Chinese!" Madero shook his head.

    ¡°Your Excellency, President, Americans are willing to provide us with support!¡± Commerce Secretary Taylor suddenly said.
