【131】Mexico and the Forbidden City(1/2)
Savi's head turned and he immediately understood seven or eight: It turned out that the Expeditionary Force had accidentally robbed the arms smuggled by the ** Army in southern Mexico!
Diaz may have just received the news, no wonder his attitude made a big turn of 180 degrees today!
In recent years, Diaz has led to the dissatisfaction of most domestic plantation owners because of Diaz's advocacy for the introduction of advanced equipment. Diaz knew very well that the army active in the southern rainforest area was very good.
Holding the flag of Taihada, but those who hide behind are those who support the evil manors!...
Diaz is already an old man over 70 years old. He is not as eager as before. He wants to send troops to eliminate him, but he is not strong enough. The money in the treasury has been invested in modernization construction, and the army has been distracted for a long time.
The ** Army had several small-scale contacts, and without exception, they were all defeats of losing their armor.
It’s normal to think about it. On one hand, there is no money and the recruits have no combat experience. On the other hand, there is a veteran who once followed Taihada, and the manor owner has the support of all his money. It is obvious where the balance tilts!
However, after being attempted to assassinate, Diaz received good news that made him frown: the ** army spent nearly one million dollars to buy arms, but was actually robbed near Mexicali!!
After learning that the person who was robbing was Savi's troops, Diaz laughed three times: This Spanish major was hidden and had started training troops silently in San Francisco!
After evaluating the combat effectiveness of the Expeditionary Force and the amazing performance of the Save Guard in the assassination, Diaz decided to put the "Treasure" on Mr. Viscount and give a barren enclave. If the tumor in the south can be removed
', It's definitely a good deal!
What's more, the addition is not for nothing. There is also a rent to be collected.
Diaz's wishful thinking was crackling, but Savi seemed to be smart overnight. After being hung up for ten days, the arrogant Viscount decided to return it intact!
The negotiations started again, Savi said that the conditions could be agreed. But the rent must be cut! I only paid four million... and cut half of it in one go!
Long Hao gave Savi a check of 10 million yuan. If you don’t say all of it, at least 60% of it can fall into Savi’s pocket! This is a lot of money, and Savi couldn’t help but struggle.
Diaz is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Savi asked for a lot of price, so he smiled and sat on the ground to pay back the money. He said that it was a lot of money to talk about. I built a new villa in Lake Tescoco, where the scenery was beautiful.
, Why don’t we move around and talk slowly?
In addition, Diaz also vaguely mentioned how enthusiastic the girls in Mexico City are and how much they admire Major Savi. Now there are ten young and beautiful girls in thin clothes and light socks, waiting for the major's arrival on the shore of Lake Tescoco.
, travel to the lake together.
So Savi, who was hit by the gate, moved to the lakeside villa half-stopped.
In the bright sunshine, Savi and the beauties held an unblocked meeting. They felt relieved and the pressure was released. At this time, Diaz appeared with a sneering smile.
The result of the two sides' negotiations again was that the Expeditionary Force immediately entered Mexico from Bajia, conquered and suppressed the ** army, and used its military record to reduce the rent in California.
For example, capturing the opponent's senior personnel will reduce 10,000... destroying the opponent's secret stronghold. Reducing 5,000... seizing the opponent's weapons, reducing 150 with a gun... annihilated the enemy, reducing 50 with a head...
In short, Save and Diaz have formulated a document corresponding to the reduction and exemption based on various situations, with a term of three months. If the Expeditionary Force completely eliminates the ** army, the rent will be added according to the document details.
At least it will be less than a million dollars cheaper!
In other words, Savi has nothing to do. He just needs to transfer the Cuban Expeditionary Force to start a war. He can sit in Diaz's villa, embrace beautiful women, bask in the sun, and watch the dollar slowly.
Put your own wallet.
Savi had already thought about it. If Long Hao asked afterwards, he would take out the perfect excuse of "the expeditionary army needs war for training". Others work hard and count their own money. Is there anything more wonderful in the world than this?
Savi is beautiful, and the cunning Diaz is not a loss.
On the surface, Diaz seems to have given up a big cake of seven million dollars, and the price is not bad, but when you think about it carefully, the Hacienda is a desolate place that Mexico cannot take into account now. If you rent it out, let alone exchange it for 800.
Ten thousand, even one tenth is a surprise. In this way, Savi's troops clean up the rebels for Diaz for free, take care of their own logistics, and be responsible for the battle. Moreover, Savi has an obligation to do so afterwards.
Help Diaz retrain a tiger and wolf army to shock the country.
In three months, Save and Diaz discussed that the rebellion would be waived by one day, and the rent would be increased by 20,000 US dollars. Otherwise, if you delayed for one more day, the rent would be increased by 20,000!
Save and Diaz are happy with such a non-solid bet.
You know, if the ** Army's cancer was removed one day earlier, Mexico's economy would be less trauma. Now the ** Army in the south is very arrogant. Not only does it fight guerrillas in the rainforest, but it has also often arrived recently.
To the north, we will destroy the railway lines and telegraph lines under construction. The losses caused by each damage are not small amounts. Every damage is a serious blow to Diaz's prestige!
In this way, the Cuban Expeditionary Force received the order and boarded the train, crossed the Sonora River (Sonora Japan), and entered the Mexican mainland in the name of the "Support Army".
In the following days, Save stayed in Diaz's villa, looking at the volcano during the day, eating fruits, playing with women, and accompanying Diaz to examine the battle reports sent from the front line at night. I don't know if there is a small life.
How comfortable.
At the beginning, Diaz did not have much hope for the combat effectiveness of the Cuban Expeditionary Force. In his heart, he was in the mentality of treating the dead horse as a living horse. He felt that it would be good that they could slightly suppress the arrogance of the ** Army.
!
In his opinion, Spain's military strength has dropped by unknown levels in recent years. How powerful can a mere army established by a noble major in San Francisco be? Even if you have some powerful people like Yao Er's umbrella, the overall combat power will be inevitable.
Still limited.
The first batch of millions of arms lost by the rebels was probably careless and lost Jingzhou. They confronted each other again. To put it better. It would be great that the Expeditionary Force could occupy half of the victory!
As Diaz expected, the Expeditionary Force crossed the Sonora River and was intercepted by a rebel guerrilla force in Mobei on just the third day!
Faced with this group of unknown troops that had robbed their own arms, the rebels met with enemies, and were extremely jealous and were not afraid of exposure. In the evening of that day, in the West Madrid Mountains west of Durango, the expeditionary force was blocked, and it was a crackling crowd.
Gunfight.
The result of the battle came to Mexico City one day. When he grabbed the telegram, Diaz rubbed his old eyes hard, almost thinking that he had read it wrong!
In the battle of the Western Madrid Mountains, the expeditionary army won a great victory!
The telegram is very simple. It only lists a few boring and monotonous numbers: 387 enemies were killed, 688 prisoners were captured, about 900 guns of various types, and about 400 war horses were seized.
The numbers are simple, but they are shocking. Diaz, who once fought in person, understood the meaning of it. Previous information said that Savi's expeditionary force was only over one thousand. The horses were almost gone, and the one was cruising.
The number of guerrilla rebels in Yu Mobei is no less than 3,000, and at least 1,500 of them are cavalry!
One thousand vs three thousand, infantry vs cavalry, even in the West Madrid Mountains with complex terrain, the results of this battle are really amazing! It simply blinded Diaz's dog eyes!
"Repay the 'supporting army''''' combat losses quickly!"
The first thing Diaz reacted was to quickly send the telegram back and ordered Durango officials to quickly report the status quo of the expeditionary force.
Don't get rid of it at once... Diaz's heart secretly prayed.
The telegram soon arrived again, and the numbers on it once again blinded Diaz's dog eyes: the expeditionary army suffered less than 100 casualties, and was highly motivated. He had just entered Durango City to rest.
"Oh my God, the more you win with less. The loss is so small. The combat power of this 'supporting army' is too great, it's too outrageous!"
At this point, Diaz completely changed his view of Savi. This expeditionary force may really be able to go against the will of heaven and make a concerted effort to completely eliminate the ** army in the south!
Savi was shocked when he saw the battle report the second time. He was not a military idiot. Of course, he knew how much his expeditionary army was. The soldiers were newly recruited recruits, and they didn't even see much blood. The only thing worthy of praise was
With relatively advanced and complete weapons and equipment, I don’t know whether the Expeditionary Force’s growth rate is too perverted or the guerrilla rebels’ level is too weak!
Savi is very open-minded and knows the heavens. Since he can't figure it out for a moment, he just smiled and told me. No matter what, Diaz's attitude towards himself has changed a lot, from his original hypocritical treatment to his current amazing people, our card
Viscount Stillo enjoyed it very much.
It was not until a few days later that Yao Ershan secretly told Savi the whole story of the battle that Viscount learned that the reason for this great victory was the 21 SS members headed by Gao Tianyang.
Since leaving San Francisco, Gao Tianyang has kept in mind Long Hao's instructions and began to train this expeditionary force seriously. Many of the army tactics dictated by Long Hao and only implemented in the Dragon Scale Army were handed over to without reservation.
This new army.
Gao Tianyang knew very well that if he hid his own private affairs and encountered a tough battle, the expeditionary army would be over, and these instructors would not be much better!
This is a relationship of prosperity and loss.
In the battle of the Western Madrid Mountains, the expeditionary force's spies had long discovered the rebels who rushed over without any cover and arrogantly. Gao Tianyang ordered the troops to divide them into three groups, one to lure the enemy into the complex mountains, one to ambush, and one to cut them off.
Close the door and fight the dog. Under the influence of advanced weapons, favorable terrain, darkness in the evening, and carelessness of the enemy, the first battle of the Expeditionary Force unexpectedly won a great victory.
The rebel cavalry could not play a role in the mountainous areas, and the expeditionary force's columns covered, interspersed and cut off, encircled and strangled tactics, although they were immature, their power was surprisingly great and their effect was surprisingly good, especially the few strands that had been put on the high ground early.
Machine guns, harvesting lives is like mowing grass, killing the morale of the rebels early.
The specific results of the first battle were counted, and Savi was very proud. This brilliant victory directly reduced the rent in the lower house by $566,000! Savi joked to Diaz: "I'll fight this a few more times,
You may have to pay me the rent, haha!"
Diaz didn't feel sorry for pulling out the poisonous nail from the north of the country. He was too happy! You know, because of the existence of this guerrilla rebel, several railway companies from Europe were clamoring to withdraw their investments!
Diaz now hopes that the Expeditionary Force will come to Mexico City as soon as possible so that he can see this magical force with his own eyes, and then send them to the south and send the rebels in the rainforest back to God's arms.
However, Diaz's wish was not realized smoothly. After the first victory, the expeditionary force did not accelerate. Instead, it started from Durango and went south along the rarely-traveled route. For a few days, it almost disappeared from Dia.
Here’s the eyeliner monitoring range!
Diaz was really unhappy for a few days, but soon, good news came that the Expeditionary Force destroyed a secret northern stronghold of the rebels, and Diaz smiled again!
"Brother Savi, you've been in Mexico City for almost a month, so you're still comfortable? Haha, there's a banquet tomorrow night, and Mrs. Gree will attend!"
Diaz blinked and lies in the arms of the beautiful maid biting Pu Tao. His white hair could not hide his vigorous energy at all. He and Savi called each other's brothers and also understood each other's hobbies clearly.
Mrs. Gerry is the most famous beautiful widow in Mexico City. She lives in seclusion on weekdays and has a good reputation. This time I don’t know what tricks Diaz took to invite her.
"Your Excellency the President, you are so kind!"
Savi's eyes lit up. He bit the green onion fingers of the beautiful woman at hand and sucked it. He smiled and said, "It's a pity that it's not a coincidence tomorrow night. If nothing unexpected happens to my expeditionary force, it will happen to arrive in Mexico City tomorrow night.
I'm going to greet them."
Diaz was waiting for this sentence, and he opened his eyes and said repeatedly: "That's what it should be. The dinner can be postponed, but we must not neglect our warriors! Tomorrow night, brother and I will go with you to see it.
The 'supporting army' that beat the terrified 'supporting army'!"
Due to habits, Diaz always likes to call the "Cuban Expeditionary Force" the "supporting force". Savi corrected it several times and then followed the old man.
To be continued...
