Chapter 503 Undeclared War

Chapter 503 Undeclared War

Having "solved" Oregon and Texas, two major concerns, John Taylor began his next plan. That is to continue sending Indians out of the country as gifts.

After all, the president of the United States who has never massacred Indians is like the czar who has never fought the Russo-Turkish War, as if he has no soul.

John Tyler wanted to be a great president, so he had to hit hard on this matter. Although the Americans' actions to expel the Indians have continued, it is obviously impossible to leave a mark in history without doing some tricks.

So the American commander signed the second move westward order.

The first westward movement order was used to break through Oregon and attempt to enter California. Although it failed, it still caused a lot of trouble for Austria.

The temptation of the second westward march was slightly stronger and more "civilized" than the first, because this time John Taylor claimed that the Indians would become the owners of the land he conquered and would be regarded as American citizens. The two nations will always be "friendly" into the future.

Of course, there are still some inherent contradictions in the United States, such as the North-South issue, such as the contradiction between industry and commerce and agriculture and animal husbandry... but these are not important.

The important thing is that 54-year-old President John Tyler and 24-year-old Julia Gardner are married. A marriage with such a large age gap will naturally be criticized, but the former feels that it is not important in the face of true love.

After he solved the major issues in his life, he began to solve the major issues related to the destiny of the United States.

On the other hand, Mexican President Tasan Anna is still full of expectations that his little trick will succeed. He hopes to retaliate to the other party with the same revenge.

Over the years, the Mexican military leader has eliminated countless competitors, defeated countless rebels, and quelled countless rebellions with the support of Austria.

He felt that his name as Napoleon of North America was truly deserved. Of course, his subordinates also know what kind of character the boss has and will not spoil the mood of their immediate boss.

But Tasang Anna never thought about why he always pressed the gourd and picked up the gourd.

The rebellion seemed endless and the enemies were endless. Although he achieved many "glorious" victories, these "accomplishments" overwhelmed him.

In fact, the most cruel and torturous situation in the world is the civil war. When facing the Americans, Tasan Anna will spare women, children, and anyone who is unable to resist.

But when faced with traitors in Mexico, he almost never showed mercy, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. But even the murderer king will be soft-hearted sometimes, let alone an ordinary person like Tasan Anna.

When violent methods didn't work, he wanted to use gentle methods.

However, the political level of the president and his team is very limited, and the only gentle method they can understand is to distribute money.

However, when the market structure does not change and the supply of goods does not increase, this approach is simply to increase inflation.

To be honest, Franz had been thinking about letting the Mexicans use the Austrian money. Now, President Tasan Anna directly caused the Mexican Eagle Ocean to devalue, and the people complained and rebellions broke out.

In this chaotic environment, Austria's anticipatory banknotes naturally replaced the Mexican eagle as "hard currency", and Tasan Anna also became the first magical president to devalue his country's metal currency.

Since the OMO Joint Development Company was actually under the control of Franz, it had a very good reputation. Coupled with its special relationship with the President of Mexico, it even later assumed the responsibility of issuing Mexican banknotes.

It's just that this troubled country is not suitable for issuing banknotes at all, because the Mexican government's credibility is too poor, and banknotes are depreciating faster than they can be printed.

Under Franz's deliberate guidance, the country's agriculture had made great progress, but its industry and commerce were in retreat. Tasang Anna didn't care about that, he only cared about how much tax he could collect.

Having such a person in power would be great for the OMO United Development Corporation, which resides above this country.

But there are also some problems, that is, the fire prevention, theft prevention, and the prevention of old Americans that Franz emphasized many times have only been ignored by the Mexican president.

At this time, the vast area of ​​New Mexico has long been infiltrated into a sieve by American immigrants.

(New Mexico at this time included the modern states of New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada)

Tasang Anna once considered moving the people in the southern rebel areas north to Shibian, but new rebellions arose, and he gave up after several iterations.

Later, Mexico organized border inspection teams, but these so-called troops were in name only. Otherwise, John Cina in California would not have to offer bounties to hunt down illegal immigrants in the United States.

What is even more frightening is that among Tasang Anna's men, some small warlords completely disobey the central government's orders and are even bribed by Americans to do things for the United States.

Although Mexico claims to have 300,000 troops, 100,000 of them only exist on paper. Another 100,000 cannot be mobilized at all (they need to quell and suppress local rebellions). The remaining 100,000 are in the vast New Mexico area. Like a blind man.

Therefore, Franz doubted their ability to hold on to their current territory.

In fact, France's attitude will greatly affect the direction of the situation in North America, but Louis Philippe was very disdainful of corresponding with people like John Taylor.

Moreover, he was not too interested in the Americans' proposal to jointly attack Mexico, and at the same time expressed doubts about the two countries' respective offensive lines.

The route given by John Taylor was that France attacked from the south of 37° North latitude, while our side attacked from the north of 37° North latitude. It seemed that the French had some advantages because the territory was larger.

However, the main force of the Mexican army is almost all in the area south of 37° north latitude. Compared with this, the Mexican territory north of 37° north latitude is almost undefendable and has no troops to defend.

And would the Americans attacking California anger the Austrian Empire? It is unlikely that they will travel across the ocean to support Mexico, but will they cause a bloody storm on the European continent in retaliation?

You must know that France and Austria at this time were only separated by a wall. Whether it was from Namur, northern Italy, or Alsace and Lorraine, the Austrian army could pass unimpeded.

This reminded Louis Philippe of one of his predecessors, Louis XVI, who "sold himself to aid the United States."

The lessons learned from the past forced him to think twice before acting, and the result of the king's deliberation was naturally to do nothing, euphemistically calling it "let nature take its course."

But John Tyler was a very pragmatic man. After he obtained the local militia that could solve the threat from Texas, he decided to launch the U.S.-Mexico War.

In fact, when the Mexicans received the news of the war, the US military was already in the hinterland of Mexico. Of course, this is not an undeclared war, but "I declared war, but you didn't receive it."
