    "Considerable strength?" Tang Qiuli asked back, "Strength is relative, Yuhe, you can't stop at a fixed level. The highly developed industry in the United States can make up for the constant losses of combat aircraft, but what about pilots?  , pilots with rich air combat experience can¡¯t be produced in factories!¡±

    "The most brilliant thing about Yamamoto Isoroku is to exhaust the U.S. military's air power before carrying out a large-scale landing and gain control of the air on the battlefield. Indeed, the U.S. Army Air Force still has the power to fight again and is not at the end of its rope.  Although he was at a disadvantage in the air battle with the Japanese army, he was not without the ability to fight back! "

    "However, Yamamoto Isoroku is gradually beating the Americans to the point of being exhausted. This process will take several months. By then, the Americans will sadly find that they have a large number of combat aircraft but not enough pilots!  "

    "The losses of the U.S. Army Air Forces are a barometer that reflects the comparative changes in the air combat capabilities of Japan and the United States. Therefore, the time for the Japanese army to start landing on the West Coast of the United States is either at the end of November this year or at the beginning of December! Span  It won¡¯t take more than two weeks!¡±

    "Ah!" Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe were both very surprised by the teacher's firm tone and conclusion.

    "Don't look at me like that!" Tang Qiuli smiled leisurely and said: "The wind direction, the tide, and most importantly, the extent of the losses of the U.S. Army Air Forces. By then, it will basically be to the point where it can no longer fight.  It¡¯s time for the Japanese to take action!¡±

    "Let's wait and see?" Tang Qiusheng's eyes flashed with light of thought.  He said with a hint of doubt.

    "Hahaha! Brother Qiu Sheng, Yu He, you just have to wait and see!" Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "When the time comes, you will know what it means to have a scheming plan and predict events like a god!" His expression and tone were very arrogant.  !

    By October 1941, the number of U.S. Army troops transferred to the West Coast region had reached 20 infantry divisions and more than 320,000 people, plus the original defense forces.  The troop strength has reached about 420,000, and the defense system in important target areas such as San Francisco and Los Angeles has been basically completed.

    but.  Lieutenant General Brennan, commander of the Army Air Forces, planned to build a large number of front-line field airfields on the west coast, but failed to realize it. The Japanese Army and Navy Air Force.  Focus exclusively on the bombing.  The frontline field airfields were bombed and repaired, repaired and bombed again. Over the intermittent months, there were not many frontline field airfields that could be put into use, which made Lieutenant General Brennan grit his teeth with hatred.

    As the defense of the West Coast region has been increasingly improved and strengthened, hundreds of thousands of troops have entered their predetermined positions, giving President Roosevelt a slight sigh of relief.  But at this moment, a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue.  After being shocked and dumbfounded, Americans became as frightened as if a catastrophe was imminent.

    On October 24, 1941, Mexican President Rodr¨ªguez, who had accepted a large amount of U.S. aid but had always had an unclear and hesitant attitude, suddenly officially announced on behalf of the Mexican government that ¡°in view of the current two conflicts in North America,  In the dangerous situation of confrontation between large military groups, war is about to break out. In order to save the Mexican people from the devastation of war, the Mexican government solemnly declares that it will remain neutral and will not participate in the confrontation between military groups on either side! "

    At the same time as the statement was issued, the Mexican government will also send thousands of U.S. military officers who are responsible for training the government forces out of the country with gifts, entertain them with good wine and food, and then politely tell these U.S. military officers who feel quite good about themselves, "  After you finish eating and drinking, pack your bags and leave! We can¡¯t afford to support you guys here in Mexico!¡±

    The Mexicans showed off to the Americans fiercely. They took a lot of dollars in their hands and put them into their pockets without any psychological barriers. The troops received a large amount of American equipment, feeling happy in their hearts and happy on their faces. Then,  Just tell the Americans, we are not helping each other. If you Americans are fighting with the Germans, Italians and Japanese, don't involve me. Mexico is a small business and cannot bear the trouble!

    However, the Mexican government wants to take care of Americans' emotions. After all, the two countries are close neighbors. They have to save some face for each other so that they can talk to each other in the future. What's more, at least until now, this neighbor is still a big guy with a bad temper.  The strong man cannot be offended for the time being, but in the future, it¡¯s hard to say?

    At the same time as the Mexican government issued a statement of neutrality, it also issued another statement, "In accordance with the principle of neutrality, no foreign military forces are allowed to exist within the territory of Mexico, nor are any foreign military forces allowed to use Mexico's  Territory and airspace as a springboard to achieve any of your military goals!¡±

    ¡°If any foreign troops ignore the Mexican government¡¯s statement of neutrality and commit aggression on Mexican territory, the Mexican army will expel them at all costs, and even stand on the other side¡¯s side and fight against them.Fight shoulder to shoulder to defend your country's interests from infringement!  "

    Mexican President Rodriguez is a smart man who is good at assessing situations. He knows very well that the Americans have gone against the norm of not taking Mexico seriously before and are giving money and guns. Their purpose is nothing more than to take advantage of Mexico.  The Germans who blocked the Americans from the South American continent were, to put it bluntly, used as cannon fodder for the Americans!

    But in the current international situation, Americans' money and things are so easy to get, and they are so easy to use as cannon fodder. The Germans, Japanese and Italians have formed an alliance to fight against the Americans.  The country is like a three-fisted country, with a large number of people. Look at the Americans. He is the only one who is alone and has no helpers. After this fight, the Americans will definitely suffer!

    Our old neighbor here, the Americans, gave us money and guns, and adopted the methods of economic bribery and military assistance. In addition, the US Secretary of State Shulke personally visited, playing the family card, and even intimidating and threatening.  We share weal and woe, and we are taking a three-pronged approach, trying to use Mexico to stand firmly on the side of the United States.

    The Germans, who were obviously immigrants, were much more straightforward. They sent a special envoy and told themselves directly, "There are two ways for you to choose. One is, don't block the way. We Germans are attacking the United States and it has nothing to do with you, Mexico.  Just by the way, in the future, the benefits of your Mexican government will be indispensable. In the huge North American continent, a little bit from Germany will be enough for you to eat and drink. "

    "The other way is to stand on the side of the Americans, to be tied to the Americans, to be cannon fodder for the Americans, and to block the way for the German army to attack the United States from the direction of Mexico. Then I'm sorry, the German army  The team is fully capable of destroying Mexico first, and then attacking the United States!"

    President Rodriguez believes that the Germans are definitely not saying harsh words. They have the ability and their fists are strong enough. It will take a matter of minutes to destroy Mexico. With Mexico¡¯s current wealth and army, it will not even take a round.  I can¡¯t stand it. What will happen to the traditional military powers on the European continent, such as France and the United Kingdom?

    President Rodriguez still clearly remembers that the German envoy was just an army colonel, but his momentum was such that he was angry, scornful of everything, and had a tough tone. It is no wonder that he was full of confidence. Behind his back, he was sweeping across the European continent and fighting a powerful force.  The Soviet Union was destroyed, the British were driven into exile, and the Americans fled back to their hometown of the German Army.

    Caught in the gap between the two major military groups, they are all ruthless characters that Mexico cannot afford to offend. If anyone makes a move, it will be a disaster for Mexico. After thinking about it, President Rodriguez cannot be ignored.  To death, the two strong men glared at each other. Where do you let Mexico, who is weak and sandwiched in the middle, go?

    Offending the Americans may be okay for the time being, but offending the Germans will immediately destroy the country. In the long run, the Germans cannot afford to offend them. Moreover, Mexicans, including President Rodriguez, are very hostile to the United States.  Not without grudges and old grudges.

    Historically, from 1846 to 1848, the U.S-Mexican War broke out between the United States and Mexico. In the end, Mexico was defeated and was forced to sign the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This treaty was completely an insult to the loser by the winner, and it was also a modern treaty.  One of the largest treaties in history in which a defeated country ceded territory to a victorious country.

    The signing of the "Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo" resulted in the loss of Alta California, all of Nevada and Utah, parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming. Several more stars were added to the Stars and Stripes of the United States.  It became a great power across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and has since gained dominance in the Americas. However, Mexico lost half of its original land, and its vitality was severely damaged.

    This is the eternal pain in the hearts of several generations of Mexicans. After countless sleepless nights and secret talks with think tanks, President Rodriguez finally made up his mind to stand on the side of the Germans. As for the Germans being destroyed  After the United States, there is no way to avoid whether Mexico will be wiped out easily. Perhaps Hitler, the head of state of Germany, might let him go because of the attitude of the Mexican government!

    Of course, as a politician, President Rodriguez cannot declare clearly that he is on the side of the Germans. It is best to do so on the surface without offending both sides. The Chinese government's actions have inspired him.  Simply, make a neutral statement and adopt a stay-out attitude.

    However, when it was time to declare neutrality, President Rodriguez discovered bitterly that neutrality also requires capital. Mexico does not have as much capital as China. If it goes wrong, it will attract the wrath of two strong men, the Americans and  The Axis powers did not start a fight, but Mexico was beaten to ashes first.

    Therefore, in the end, one had to choose a side. After the neutrality statement was announced, President Rodriguez sent a special envoy to secretly meet with the German Army Group South America.The new commander, Marshal Rommel, expressed the attitude of the Mexican government.
