"San Francisco has a large number of troops, more than 5 people, and a large number of warships. I'm afraid we can't resist it, and we have to ask for help from home."

In Mexico City, Brigadier General Alves of the Viceroyalty of New Spain briefed Governor Rodriguez.

Since the empire came to the New World, the friction between the two parties has never stopped.

Facing the aggressiveness of the empire, the Spaniards racked their brains and found it difficult to deal with it.

Now many of their pioneered lands have been seized by the empire, and they are also facing a powerful offensive from the empire.

In view of the situation, Rodriguez and Alves naturally sent many spies to the empire's area.So the No. 12 Division had just arrived in San Francisco, and they learned about it.

But what can I do if I know it?

A full [-] regular troops!

The strength of the empire in the New World had caused them to retreat steadily before, but now that they have more than 5 fresh troops, it is no longer a matter of victory or defeat.

I am afraid that the entire New Spain Viceroyalty will be lost.

However, for Alves' proposal, Rodriguez frowned.

"The situation in the country is very bad. The rebellion in Catalonia has not been quelled, and the war to conquer Portugal has also failed. The country is too busy to help us."

"Then what should we do? Are we going to lose these rich colonies?"

Alves was worried.

He now has more than 3000 troops combined.

"Unless the militia is recruited."

He offered another way.

With more than 100 years of colonization, Spanish immigrants have already blossomed here and the population has greatly increased.

Since the number of troops is insufficient, in order to keep the territory, recruiting militia is also a way.

"How much can you collect?"

Rodriguez also felt that he couldn't sit still and asked expectantly.

Alves has already done statistics.

"If you don't care about production and business, at least 3000 people can be recruited."

Rodriguez wasn't too happy with the number.

"It's still very different from the Chinese."

Alves couldn't help it either.

"Is it possible to ask for help from several other Governor-Generals?"

Spain has a total of four governorships, each of which has a vast territory and strong strength.

If put together...

"Dude, don't think about it. They won't come for reinforcements. They only have their own interests in their eyes."

Rodriguez extinguished Alves' fantasy.

In today's major governor-generals, there are actually signs of separatism.

This is because after successive wars, the Spanish mainland has been severely weakened, resulting in a situation of strong branches and weak branches.

The major governors' districts have important people and people, they want products and products, and they can mint their own currency. They have gradually ignored the local area.

This is the reason why the vigorous independence movement of later generations was able to succeed.

Rather than saying that the independence movements of these colonies are advanced, it is better to say that there is an uneven distribution of spoils between the colonists and the natives.

Because relative to the Indians, they are all invaders.

Despite the dire situation, Rodriguez and Alves decided to deal with it as best they could.The Viceroyalty of New Spain is their basic base, and if they can't keep it, they will lose their glory and wealth.

Rodriguez issued a conscription order in the name of the governor, and Spaniards from all over the world began to gather in Mexico City with weapons.

"The Spaniards gathered all the militia they could mobilize and organized an armed force of nearly 2 men. This army is currently moving towards Sinaloa and San Antonio."

The Spaniards would spy on the Empire, and so would the Empire.

The Spaniards just started to take action, and they got detailed information here.

Wu Zhikui looked at the map and was a little puzzled.

"Is Spain so brave? This will divide the army into two groups?"

Sinaloa is west of Mount Chisos, near the Pacific Ocean; San Antonio is east of Mount Chisos.

The Chisos Mountains are the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains, penetrating into Mexico and separating the east and west coasts.

In Wu Zhikui's view, the Spaniards are seriously short of troops, and the best way is to stick to the front line of Mexico City.In the end, he still dared to divide his troops and traveled thousands of miles north...

"Then we also split into two groups?"

Military and political Yin Yuchun also thought the Spaniards were crazy.

However, this kind of enemy has reduced the difficulty of combat, and may be able to complete the goal this year.

For his proposal, Wu Zhikui agreed.

"That's it. I'll take two regiments down the coast and attack Sinaloa. You work harder and go east to attack San Antonio."

Yin Yuchun has nothing to do.

"After taking San Antonio, I will not wait for orders, but go straight south, and we will meet in Mexico City."

The two giants of the No.12 Division completed the division of labor and deployed, and looked at Yang Yunsheng again.

"Commander Yang, how does your navy plan to fight?"

Yang Yunsheng was also looking at the map.

"The Spaniards are not strong enough for you to fight. Our navy will not join in the fun. I plan to attack here."

His finger touched the narrowest part of Central America.

Wu Zhikui and others were taken aback.

"This is the territory of the Governor General of New Granada."

"So what? One Governor of New Spain is worth fighting, and one more Governor of New Granada is fine."

Yang Yunsheng wasn't acting on a whim either.

He added: "I have checked the relevant information, and the distance between the two banks of this place is only 65 kilometers. You said, if a canal is dug here, will the east and west banks of the New World be more frequently connected?"

Everyone was shocked.

They were all just thinking about how to fight, but Yang Yunsheng was already thinking about future strategic planning.

Now it is no secret that the New World is in the empire, and the map is already very detailed.

Of course they knew that in order to get from the west coast to the east coast, they had to either take a long and arduous land journey, or sail thousands of miles around the southernmost tip of South America and then go north.

But no matter which way it is, it is obviously costly.

If, as Yang Yunsheng said, a canal was dug in the narrowest place, it would almost shorten the distance by two-thirds.

"I support Commander Yang's idea."

Fu Xinyuan quickly understood the benefits, and his attitude was very firm.

He knew better than anyone how important the strategic position of the canal would be once it was built.

This important place must be in the hands of the empire.

Among other things, as long as there is a canal, the empire can closely support the deployment of Europe from North America and better control the situation in Europe.

"Report to me to fight, and the military will be handed over to you."

Fu Xinyuan had the courage to take responsibility and took over the matter.

Wu Zhikui and others no longer worried about the navy's plan, but started to act independently.

The war to determine the ownership of the New World has gradually begun. (end of this chapter)
