    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 can imagine, not even the United States, how Spain will 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 Cotua and Corpus Christi, the two major eastern and southern border towns on the border with Mexico, for on-site observation, and made a series of remarks, basically claiming to be concerned about the border situation with Mexico and the United States, and once again calling on Mexico  China and the United States should calm down, and 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.  He also stated that he serves as the coordinator between the United States, Spain, and Mexico and serves as the mediator for both parties.

    After inspecting there for two days, Wilson flew to the western state of California again to inspect the San Diego border in the 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, and proposed that California would be built into an existence similar to New York.  A state with an economic and political sub-center will emerge in the west.

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

    "What kind of tricks is this guy doing in building roads?" Chavez was stunned for a while.

    Alfonso frowned and said after a long while: "The United States is very cautious. Last year, the United States seemed to have established a national transportation conference, mainly to expand the transportation network of the United States. Connect the connections between states in the United States. This Wilson is actually a  Sly 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 will develop. 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  We are continuing 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 not  I will sincerely help them.¡±

    After hearing what Alfonso said, Trini smiled and said: "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, there have been many people in the countryPeople are a little emotional about our delay in attacking the United States. If we delay for a long time, it will be very detrimental to us. After all, Spain's repeated foreign aggression in recent years has given them a huge sense of pride.  , I really don¡¯t want the hard-earned national pride to be worn away like this, so I will increase my stakes this time and bring in the British as soon as possible.  "

    When Alfonso talked about the United Kingdom, his voice became louder. Obviously, the importance he attached to the United Kingdom was not comparable to that of the United States.

    "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 of Monaco and Seville. After that.  Blocking the Suez Canal in Libya and the Ottoman Empire, plus we have hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of allied troops, can definitely launch a serious blow to Britain." Creston was a little sullen after hearing this.  The leader of the group, the gestures of real swords and guns are the most suitable for them.

    Alfonso smiled and said: "If you do this, sooner or later we will become isolated in the world. 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 Britain 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 as troops in the name of surveying the route.  In fact, the United States conducted a rare troop deployment.
