Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

The relationship between Spain and Mexico has naturally made many people open their eyes and wait, how will Spain be tough in the face of the United States?

No one could imagine, not even the United States, how Spain would treat them.

in their thoughts. There may be a trap between Spain and Mexico, and this trap is aimed at the United States. No matter what tactics the United States adopts, it is undeniable that Spain still hides its powerful strength. Otherwise they only have so many troops. How to implement a plan to help Mexico.

As for the US military, what they need to consider is how to uncover Spain's hidden strength and even disrupt Spain's combat deployment. This is the most urgent thing for the United States now. Of course, Wilson naturally knows that although his actions are actually Not to mention the obvious, other powerful countries are definitely very welcoming, because they are also doubting how strong Spain is and how much it threatens them.

Therefore, Wilson made a choice, which was to recruit more troops and join the battle preparations from different directions. Faced with the sudden toughness of the United States, this would inevitably disrupt Spain's established deployment and catch Spain off guard. And as long as there is a flaw in Spain's path at this time, and it receives a fatal blow from behind, Spain will definitely fall again.

At the end of June 1913, U.S. President Wilson came to Houston, an important city in the south of the United States, and even casually took a military plane for a high-profile inspection of San Antonio, a border city close to Mexico. He also went to Cotuva and Corpus Christi, two major eastern and southern border towns on the border with Mexico, for on-the-spot observations and made a series of remarks. Basically, they claimed to be concerned about the situation on the border between Mexico and the United States, and once again called on Mexico and the United States to calm down. The two sides should sit at the negotiating table to resolve various disputes between the two countries, including actions in Mexico.

What was unexpected was that this time, the United Kingdom actually stepped forward when Wilson announced his southern tour and expressed its reasons to serve as the coordinator between the United States, Spain, and Mexico, and to serve as the mediator between the two parties.

After two days of inspection there, Wilson flew west again to California. Inspection of the San Diego border in the extreme southwest. This time his words were different. He proposed that the U.S. government should increase investment in transportation in the west, especially the construction of California. He proposed that California would be built into an existence similar to New York State, and an economic and political sub-center state would emerge in the west.

and the drop-off routes that connect the states to get here.

"Building roads. What kind of tricks is this guy doing?" Chavez was stunned for a moment.

Alfonso frowned. After a long while, he said: "The United States is very cautious. Last year, the United States seemed to have established a national transportation conference, mainly to expand the U.S. transportation network and connect the connections between American states. This Wilson is a cunning guy."

"The National Transportation Conference, you bamboo stick, don't you give a solution to improve the country's combat readiness in this way to deal with the small number of our own troops? Oh, it's a cover-up, no, they should use this to strengthen the idea of ​​​​strengthening the four-way expansion of the army. That's right, Your Majesty, are these guys preparing to expand?" Creston wanted to laugh at first, but he immediately understood that things were not that simple.

Alfonso nodded: "I don't know if they are planning for expansion. They have the final say on how this matter develops. However, you can guess. If Wilson feels that the situation is beneficial to their development, they will naturally send troops directly. , according to the current view, Mexico has been targeted by them, so Wilson will inspect the south this time. If the US military feels something is wrong, then they may just build the road honestly, and then rotate back. They can still Even if we continue to build roads, it can still be said that they have not had any involvement at all.”

After A Fang finished speaking, his brows were still furrowed.

Trini also frowned and said, "It seems like the Americans still haven't made up their mind."

"There are only two reasons. Either the United States does not have enough resources. Or the Americans are not too reassured by the current situation. This trap is a bit obvious. They may want to wait and see if the British are sincere. will help them.”

Trini listened to Alfonso's words and said with a smile: "They have no idea that they are not the only Americans who are going to be dragged into this big hole. The most important thing is to lure in the big fish like the British."

Several other people also smiled immediately. Obviously, they were also a little excited about this idea. Until now, they still feel that everything is still under control.

However, Alfonso sighed and said: "Until now, many people in the country have been emotionally disturbed by our delay in attacking the United States. If we delay for a long time, it will be very detrimental to us. After all, these Spain's foreign aggression has made them develop a huge sense of pride. I really don't want the hard-earned national pride to be worn away like this. Therefore, this time I will increase the stakes and defeat the British as soon as possible. Bring people in.”

When Alfonso talked about Britain, his voice became louder. Obviously, he valued Britain more than the United States could.

"Yes, if you want me to say, fight if you want, no matter what excuse you find, just send troops. According to me, it is better to take back Gibraltar directly, and then directly block the Strait of Gibraltar on three sides in Monaco and Seville. Then in Libya and the Ottoman Empire blockade the Suez Canal, plus we have hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of allied troops, we can definitely launch a serious blow to Britain." Creston was a little sullen after hearing this. Leaders, the gestures of real swords and guns are the most suitable for them.

Alfonso smiled and said: "If you do this, we will become isolated in the world sooner or later. What situation are we in now? If we strike first, it will be an invasion, and the situation in the international community will only be more difficult. If the United States strikes first , if we send troops, we can legitimately say that it is self-defense and counterattack. When the UK joins in, we will become self-defense, and in this way, other players can be more indulgent and vent their anger."

Alfonso's words made everyone here think deeply. They did not ask who this player was, but they expressed from time to time that they were sure that they knew who he was referring to, because the current powerful country is still Too much.

In early July 1913, the U.S. Senate immediately passed a bill to build the Western and Southern Railways. The day after the bill was passed, more than 30,000 Army Corps of Engineers were transported to British Columbia by train, and then armed for the purpose of surveying the route. In fact, the United States conducted a rare troop deployment. (To be continued...)
