The sun never sets in America

Chapter 99 Panic
The capital of the Republic of Mexico, Mexico City.

It was a city built in the ruins after the Spanish defeated and occupied the ancient Indians and the capital of the Aztec Empire, Tenochtitlan, in the [-]th century. After razing the original city, it was also a new city established by Spain in the Americas. The capital of the Spanish colony.

At its peak, orders issued here covered almost most of the Americas.

But after Mexico became independent, the country went through several different periods, including the Mexican Empire and the Mexican Republic.

The independent Mexican Republic was, in essence, still just a colonial government disguised as a state.

In this country, there are still a large number of nobles, farmers, and a large number of mixed race people from the Spanish colonial period.

These people are mainly descendants of Spanish colonists and local Indian women.

And throughout the mainstream white society in Mexico, there are all kinds of discrimination against these mixed-race people. And behind all these incentives, there is another most fundamental reason, which is to prove that my blood is nobler than yours. I am Orthodox white people and you are just a second class citizen…

Thoughts like this are not uncommon throughout Mexican society, and because pure-blood white people control wealth, power and other factors, such discrimination is often ubiquitous.

Especially in an old white area like Mexico City.

This situation intensified after the Han Dynasty captured California and completed the founding of the country.

The reason is because of the news coming from California, in which mixed-race people are often compared to the accomplices of the yellow-skinned pagans who rule California and exploit the white people.

In fact, it is true that in the Han army, a quarter of the soldiers are composed of mixed races. Of course, this mixed race is also extremely complicated. They include Indians and whites, as well as Chinese and Indians. There are mixed races, including whites and Chinese (although due to time issues, there are not too many, there are only a few, and most of them are from the Liujiapu period).

These mixed-race soldiers often have higher combat effectiveness than Indian soldiers, and are often more brave and unafraid of death in war.

The reason is that they have suffered discrimination. In the eyes of white people, they are mongrels and the bottom of society. In the eyes of Indians, they are lackeys of white people and tools of rule created by white people's conspiracy.

But in the Han country, they gained dignity. After all, in the eyes of the Chinese, all Indians and white people will eventually belong to China. In this case, the more mixed their bloodlines are, the easier it will be to implant them into Chinese culture, accelerating the speed of assimilation...

After all, if you choose to assimilate Indians, the difficulty may be one, and the difficulty of assimilating white people will be three, and if you assimilate mixed-race people, in Han's evaluation, the difficulty may be only [-].

Regarding mixed-race people, the Han Dynasty’s consistent attitude is to recruit, to recruit, to appease, with civilization as the leading factor, and economic and social status as comfort. The speed at which these mixed-race people have integrated into Han society is even faster than The Han people called the Indians their long-lost brothers, and it was even faster.

This was something that no one expected at the beginning. Even Liu Peng was a little surprised when he found out.

Mexico City is an ancient city with a long history. In this city, you can see a large number of European buildings, such as monasteries, churches, and various European-style buildings.

In addition to the special geography here, you can even find various modern architectural methods in today's world here.

It has the largest city, the largest population, and the most prosperous economy in Central America.

But it also hides the deepest, darkest sins.

"Diego..."

"Diego..."

At the door of a small Spanish-style building, a postman stood downstairs and called the names of people upstairs.

"Stark..." A bald man upstairs shouted through the window and saw the postman below, and then hurriedly walked downstairs.

"Diego...have you finished writing your work?" The postman smiled and asked a question when he saw Diego for the first time.

"No, you know, sometimes inspiration doesn't come easily." Diego shook his shoulders at the postman, and then said with some self-deprecation.

"Oh, then you have to work harder, I'm waiting to see the second part of "Cruelty against the Infidels" directed by you!!" The postman said to Diego with a smile, and the "Cruelty against the Infidels" in his mouth is currently in Mexico There are some of the most popular operas in the city about Han Dynasty and pagans, and Diego is a writer, to be precise, a screenwriter.

He specialized in providing works for the major theaters in Mexico City. In later generations, he was just a stage playwright, but his status was higher than that of later generations.

After all, in an era without movies, TV, or the Internet, drama was still very popular. Both the upper class and the lower class had a special liking for drama. Otherwise, how would the famous Broadway develop in the next generation? The so-called art, the so-called humanities, and even the so-called style are actually all lies... In the final analysis, it is a lack of entertainment methods.

Animals like humans need entertainment.

"By the way, what's the name of the second part? Is it really called Crusade against the Infidels Part [-]?" The postman then asked Diego with great interest what the second part of the drama was called.

"Burn, how about burning the heretics??" Diego replied to the postman with a sneer on his face, "We will judge these heretics in front of God and then send them to the stake!!" Diego looked excited. The postman replied that in his opinion, what could be more eye-catching than burning the heretics.

After all, in Western culture, fire represents many things. In the Middle Ages, opponents were burned to death, witches were burned to death, and physicist Bruno was burned to death. These are all superficial meanings of fire in Christianity.

It means purification, it means punishment! !
"Great, let's burn them with fire!" After hearing this, the postman said to Diego excitedly, "Hurry, after our army sets off in a few days, they will be punished by the Lord." The postman continued to talk to Diego with an excited expression.

"See you later..." Diego returned home with the letter, while the postman drove the carriage and continued delivering letters throughout the city.

As for the army that his postman said was about to set off, in fact, after months of delay, the Mexican army was finally ready and expected to launch an attack on Han in three days.

The news spread throughout the city, and Vice President Lester of the Mexican Republic specially hosted a banquet for ministers from various countries, inviting them to witness the victory of the Mexican Republic in the future and witness another great victory of Christendom over the pagans.

In this regard, except for some small countries, most countries chose to watch indifferently. Especially the most ambiguous countries, Britain and France, directly rejected the invitation to send military observers and instead tested the bottom line of the Republic of Mexico on this war.

And what demands would be made if the war was lost.

It can be said that the actions of Britain and France were very abnormal in the eyes of Mexicans, especially those at the top of the Mexican Republic, but they quickly forgot about it. In their view, this was just the unwillingness of Britain and France to support them. , and the real reason was the fear that the Republic of Mexico would establish new authority in the Americas.

Threaten the local prestige of Britain and France! !

Ministers such as the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire expressed support for the actions of the Mexican Republic, reaffirming the white Christian world's support for the invasion of the pagans and resistance to counterattack.

Of course, this support is verbal.

As for giving money, I'm sorry, the Tsar has no money, and Vienna has no money.

And if we say that those who are most concerned about Mexico's war trends, apart from Britain and France, who are interested in it, there is only one country that is most concerned about it.

That is the United States of America.

During this time, Donald, the minister to Mexico, kept coming in and out of the presidential palace and the home of Vice President Lester, who was presiding over the war.According to rumors, the U.S. minister expressed concern and support for the Republic of Mexico’s fight against infidels, and hoped to send military observers to join the war to observe the war against infidels at close range.

Of course, these were rejected by Lester. It was a joke to observe the pagans and observe the Mexican army! !
No matter how stupid Mexico is about the peace of mind of Americans, after being its neighbor for so many years, Mexico understands.

The United States has expanded from thirteen continents in the east to the center of North America. It is a large territorial country with a land area equivalent to the Republic of Mexico. When it comes to how these territories came to be, Mexico knows very well. It has taken advantage of others through plunder, bloody expansion, and massacred Indians much more ruthlessly than the Mexicans. , and being a neighbor to such a country, no country would keep a close eye on it.

In addition to the United States, it is the small South American countries that support Mexico, because they were all Spanish colonies and all believed in Catholicism. In addition, Mexico was the core factor of American rule during the Spanish colonial period. The local authorities and the local The rulers are inextricably linked to the Republic of Mexico...

Therefore, they are the most active in combating infidels in the Republic of Mexico. The fundamental reason is that there are a large number of Indians in South America and the same mixed race as in the Republic of Mexico.

The rise of Han not only awakened the Republic of Mexico, but also other South American countries.

They suddenly became more vigilant about the Indians and mixed-race people in the country. There were even slogans in the local area to expel the mixed-race people and eliminate the Indians. Although they were quickly stopped by higher authorities, after all, if they really did this, Then the civil war is not far away.

But it can also be seen that white people all over the Americas are afraid of the establishment of the Han Dynasty. This is just an establishment. If it rises to become a big country like the United States in the future, what bad things will they do if it is not protected...

.............................................

"Quick, let me in..." In Mexico City, an officer riding a horse and rushing around dismounted and rushed directly into the presidential palace.

At this time, President Santa Anna was at home reading news from Europe, such as the Times, which was published a month and a half ago. Since the failure of the vote, Lester also officially took over as a war cabinet. Power, it can be said that at this moment, Leicester does not have the name of president, but he has the power of president.

And who is the biggest victim is, of course, President Santa Anna, who has retreated to his home.

Because of the loss of power, he gradually stopped paying attention to domestic affairs and focused on international, especially European affairs, in order to achieve the purpose of paralyzing himself.

Of course, although he lost the prestige of the president due to the loss of power, according to the Mexican Constitution, President Santa Anna still has the right to handle national affairs, but they are only some small matters and superficial greetings.

And those friends who were warm and polite to him in the past also disappeared, making President Santa Anna feel what is the harshness of the world and what is the warmth and warmth of human relationships.

"Sir..." Just as President Santa Anna was reading the newspaper bleakly, the butler suddenly ran in. "An officer came from Arizona. He said he was your nephew and wanted to see you." The butler gasped. After taking a breath, he reported to Santa Anna, and then told President Santa Anna about a horse-riding officer.

"Torres..." After hearing this, Santa Anna remembered that he also had a nephew serving in the Northern Army. "Let him come in." Santa Anna immediately ordered.

"Yes, Master!!" The housekeeper bowed slightly and then left.

"Torres, why did he come to me??" President Santa Anna looked at the butler's leaving figure and thought with some doubts, "Is it possible..." Santa Anna murmured to himself, as soon as he finished speaking , his face changed immediately.

"Uncle...uncle..." After Torres came in, he hugged Santa Anna and cried bitterly.

"What's wrong? What happened??" Santa Anna looked at the crying Torres in front of her and asked in a voice that was trembling unconsciously.

"Nevada is lost, and half of Arizona is lost..." Torres replied with a sad look on his face, his whole body trembling.

"What!!" After President Santa Anna heard this, his face immediately became panicked. "Are they those Han people?" Santa Anna asked with a trembling voice. He felt something was wrong just now. Why did his nephew, who he didn't usually have much contact with, suddenly come from Arizona to look for him? It turned out that it was just as he thought, and those pagans really started a war, although he still asked in disbelief.

Torres did not answer, but nodded silently, acknowledging the matter.

"Can the frontline still hold up??" President San Anna asked a question that he himself thought was self-deception.

"They made a sudden sneak attack. After taking over Nevada, they continued to attack Arizona along the highway. We couldn't stop them at all..." Torres replied to President Santa Anna dejectedly, "Since I left, the Arizona area has... Half of them have been occupied by infidels, and it is estimated that they have all been lost by now..." Torres continued to answer President Santa Anna with red eyes. He hated and was afraid of the Han Kingdom.

They hated the other party for launching an invasion against them, but they were also afraid of the other party's strength. After all, Torres had been on the battlefield for a while, and a white regiment he led was defeated by a battalion of the other party. The scene at that time, even now, is He remembered it all vividly.

Especially the crazy bayonet charge at the end, which directly killed more than 800 people in his regiment, throwing off their helmets and armor. The mountains and fields were full of fleeing soldiers, and he himself was one of them.

It can be said that the Mexican soldiers on the northern front, as well as the local people, are most afraid of the Han people and the Han army, and they have the same essence as those in the rear, like Diego, who write erotic dramas about burning pagans. difference.

The biggest difference is that they are experiencing a war, but these people in the rear are not, so they can talk about it, say something that looks down on Han, and then in the chat, compare Han to a chicken, and Mexico to a hero. Eagle. A few days later, the war was described on the front page of Mexican newspapers as a war between eagles and chickens...

The Mexican Daily News published on its front page yesterday that we will use the head of the pagan king in Los Angeles as a gift for next year’s National Day.

This shows how Mexico as a whole views this war and Han.

"Does the outside world know about this news?" President Santa Anna calmed down and asked Torres a question that seemed to have nothing to do with this war.

"Probably not yet. After all, as far as I know, I am the only one who has escaped." After Torres answered, a lucky expression appeared on his face.

After all, these Han Chinese were so fast that they captured the entire Nevada in four and a half days. They were in Arizona, and they didn't even have time to react before the enemy came to the city.

"Okay, okay..." President Santa Anna smiled instead of being angry at this time, "You go down and rest first, and I will take care of the rest." President Santa Anna then arranged for the confused Torres. road.

After Torres left in confusion, President Santa Anna changed his expression.

The whole person was like a volcano about to erupt, but soon fell silent, like a deep lake, calm and calm.

"Charlie..." President Santa Anna then shouted to the butler.

"Master, what do you want from me??" the butler ran into the room and bowed to President Santa Anna and asked.

"Arrange a carriage to take me to Count Mattford..." Santa Anna ordered the butler with an intriguing expression on his face.

"Yes, Master!!" The housekeeper agreed respectfully, and then trotted out.

"Han..." After putting on his formal attire, President Santa Anna looked at himself in the mirror and murmured to himself, "This war comes at the wrong time, but it comes at the right time. It's just... …Is it really okay if I do this??” President Santa Anna asked himself.

"No, I am doing all this for Mexico, for the Republic of Mexico!!" President Santa Anna convinced himself, "Merciful Lord... I hope you will bless Mexico."

"Amen!!"

President Santa Ana made the sign of the cross on his chest while standing in front of the mirror.
