    General Davis arrived in Mexico City on the evening of April 2, and the U.S. military was retreating northward in an orderly manner.  Davis took a company of guards with him, and the speed was naturally much faster.  However, when he arrived in Mexico City, the political situation in the United States had stabilized, and Theodore.  Roosevelt once again became the President of the United States, and General Pershing once again became the supreme commander of the Mexican battlefield.  This made General Davis finally feel relieved.  Although his role as acting commander of the Mexican battlefield had come to an end, he was still quite satisfied with being able to serve as General Pershing's deputy.

    After General Pershing resumed his duties, he immediately sent a telegram to General Davis, asking General Davis to do his best to gather the troops.  In addition, the US military on the battlefield is reorganized and strives to restore the US military's combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.  However, this task is very difficult.  In fact, there are not many U.S. troops on the Mexican battlefield.  Over and over, the U.S. military has invested three million troops in the Mexican battlefield. However, the U.S. troops annihilated and captured by the Chinese army accounted for half of the total. The remaining U.S. troops have low morale. If they want to make them come back,  It's very difficult to raise the flag.

    Fortunately, the Chinese Army did not launch an attack immediately after breaking through the US military's defense line in the Sierra Madre del Sur, which gave the US military a chance to breathe.  In fact, the Chinese Army had to stop.  After the battle of Chilpancingo, the Chinese army's strategic supplies were almost exhausted again. To fight the next battle, it would have to go through a period of preparation again.  In addition, the casualties of various departments also need to be supplemented, especially the Japanese mercenaries, which have already lost more than half of their losses, and need to receive new recruits from home.  In addition, the reinforcements sent by the General Staff to the Mexican battlefield will also take time to adapt.  This forced Marshal Zhao Bowen to order the entire army to switch to defense, and the entire army temporarily rested and reorganized.

    After General Davis arrived in Mexico City, he immediately ordered the reorganization of the US military. The remaining US troops were reorganized into thirty corps, all given new designations.  At the same time, the U.S. military's central defense line is centered on Mexico City, with Cuernavaca and Cuetra southwest of Mexico City and Puebla in the south as supporting points to build a solid defense line.  Mexico City is surrounded by mountains to the west, southwest, south and southeast, making it easier to defend.  Therefore, as long as these key points are guarded, the US military is still very likely to be able to withstand the Chinese army.

    Of course, after the battle with the Chinese army on the defensive line of the Sierra Madre del Sur, the US military already has an understanding of the power of the Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries.  The favorable terrain of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the south was finally broken through by the Chinese Army. Now that the mountains around Mexico City are much lower, the US military generals are not sure whether they can withstand the Chinese Army's attack.  Compared with the defense line of the Sierra Madre del Sur, the US military has an advantage probably because its logistics supply line has been shortened a lot, while the Chinese army's logistics supply line has been greatly lengthened, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of logistical support.  In addition, the US military has developed anti-aircraft machine guns specifically for air defense. When faced with the Chinese Air Force's attack, they no longer need to be beaten, and at least have a certain ability to fight back. This has greatly improved the US military's ability to fight back.  morale.

    General Pershing also set off from Washington and rushed to Mexico City.  At the same time, the U.S. War Department will once again dispatch twenty troops, or one million troops, to the Mexican battlefield within half a month.  This further enhanced the confidence of the US military.

    As soon as General Davis arrived in Mexico City, someone came to his door.  Mexican President Madero, Vice President D¨ªaz, and several cabinet members of the Mexican government all came to the headquarters of General Davis.  Although he didn't like to see these people, the U.S. military was now fighting on Mexican soil, and there were many places where the Mexican government's cooperation was still needed. Therefore, General Davis had to be patient to receive them.

    "Your Excellency, the President, and all your Excellencies, what's the matter with you coming to me so late?" General Davis asked, with a tired look on his face. He rushed from the defense line of the Sierra Madre del Sur to Mexico City, basically walking all the way.  Didn't get much rest.  After arriving in Mexico, he immediately began to reorganize the defeated US military and deploy new lines of defense. This consumed too much of his energy.  Now he has to deal with these politicians in Mexico, which makes him very tired.

    "General Davis, we want to know whether your army has the strength to stop the Chinese south of Mexico City? Keep the capital of Mexico?" Mexican President Madero asked.  He had an anxious look on his face, and he felt extremely regretful. He didn't know why he was so stupid, and betrayed China after listening to the Americans' deception.  I originally thought that the US military could drive the Chinese out of North America so that they would no longer have to be a puppet.  But I didn't expect that the Americans would be so inexperienced, with millions of people and the advantage of geographical location, but they would be beaten hard by the Chinese, leaving teeth everywhere on the ground. Not to mention the heavy losses, even the defense line would be breached! I'm afraid it won't be long before  The Chinese will invade Mexico City.  This is useful forFor these senior Mexican government officials who betrayed China, it was nothing short of a disaster. It didn¡¯t take much to think about it, but we knew that China would definitely not let these traitors go.  Once caught by the Chinese, removing them from their posts would be a frivolous matter, and they might even be sent to the gallows directly.  This made these usually aloof senior officials very frightened. Now it is too late to regret. They only want to go to Mexico City. Although power is important, life is even more important!

    "Everyone, please believe that the U.S. military has enough capabilities to defend Mexico City, and we will definitely keep the Chinese south of the defense line. The U.S. government has completed the transition, and President Roosevelt has come to power again. He will lead us to defeat the Chinese.  . In addition, the U.S. government has once again sent millions of reinforcements, and we will have sufficient troops to deal with the Chinese attack. Therefore, Mexico City must be safe!" General Davis assured everyone  road.  However, these senior officials of the Mexican government do not believe his statement so much!

    "General Davis, when your army was at the defense line in the Sierra Madre del Sur, you promised us the same thing! But in just two months, the defense line in the Sierra Madre del Sur was already breached by the Chinese!" The Mexican government  A high-ranking official revealed mercilessly.

    Suddenly, Admiral Davis¡¯s face looked a little ugly.  The defense line in the Sierra Madre del Sur was breached, and although the US military suffered heavy losses, it was not something that these Mexicans could blame.  Although the US military is no match for the Chinese army, it can still easily defeat these Mexicans.  However, the war is still going on, and General Davis does not want to create another enemy for the United States, even if this enemy's strength is very rubbish.  A turbulent Mexico is obviously not in the interest of the United States.

    "Your Excellency, if you don't believe us, then I have no other way. However, the US military will do its best to resist the Chinese. After all, if the defense line is breached by the Chinese again, it will not hurt the United States at all.  The benefits!" General Davis suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice.

    President Madero nodded. If Mexico City is captured by China, it will certainly be a disaster for these senior officials of the Mexican government.  But it is not a good thing for the United States.  Once the Chinese army breaks into northern Mexico, it will directly pose a threat to the United States.

    ¡°General, after our deliberations, we intend to move the Mexican government to San Luis Potos¨ª,¡± President Madero said.  Senior officials of the Mexican government are not very optimistic about the US military and are unwilling to accompany the US military into crisis.

    "No, if the Mexican government evacuates Mexico City, it will cause the morale of the military to be shaken. We hope that the Mexican government will stick with us until the last moment!" General Davis flatly refused.

    "Why? We are not soldiers. Now that Mexico City is so dangerous, why do you want to prevent us from leaving?" The senior officials of the Mexican government suddenly quit and shouted one after another.

    In the end, General Davis had to assure them that if the US military could not hold on to the defense line in central Mexico, senior officials of the Mexican government could evacuate immediately. This was the biggest compromise the US military could make.  After seeing the toughness of General Davis, the senior officials of the Mexican government had no choice but to agree.  They just don't want to die in the war. As long as they can evacuate before the Chinese army breaks through Mexico City and are not caught by the Chinese, that is enough.

    ¡°While the US military is preparing for war and building the defense line in central Mexico, the Chinese army is also preparing for war.  Shiploads of arms, oil, food and other military supplies arrived in Acapulco by sea.  It was then trucked to Chilpancingo and other areas on the front line.  The Chinese military's preparations for war are also proceeding in an orderly manner.  The arrival of a large number of new troops allowed the units lost on the battlefield to be replenished.  In addition, reinforcements from 20 divisions dispatched by the General Staff Headquarters are also about to arrive.  This will further strengthen the strength of the Chinese army on the Mexican battlefield.

    On April 8, Marshal Zhao Bowen arrived in Acapulco in person.  Because today a batch of the most important reinforcements will arrive.  But the navy's transport ship docked at the port, and a camouflage-painted 'Wild Wolf' light tank drove off the transport ship first.  This tank belongs to the armored brigade under the Chinese Army's 2nd Group Army!
