1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Comez successfully launched a coup and established a military government, which is of great benefit to the US military.

"Since Comez wants us to play a play with him, then we will play a play with him." Liang Yao squeezed the telegram in his hand and walked out of the telegraph room greedily breathing the fresh air outside.

"We take three steps forward and two steps back, and cooperate with Comez to perform this play well. Since Mexico needs a national hero, then we will create a national hero for Mexico."

"Two steps back? Where are you going to take two steps back?"

Bell was also in a good mood after hearing the news of what happened inside Mexico.

He knew that there must be tricks in the coup d'état in Mexico so quickly.

The coup d'état probably had something to do with Liang Yao, and the telegram from Comez is the ironclad proof.

"If Comez's army launches a counterattack, the area south of Colima state can be abandoned."

After looking at the map of Mexico for so long, even without a map, Liang Yao still knows the administrative divisions of Mexico by heart.

"I have no objection." Bell nodded.

"The states in south-central Mexico are densely populated. Even if we win them, we may not be able to eat them. What should General Jackson say? The occupied areas on the Eastern Front were captured by General Jackson after all, and their casualties are higher than ours. big."

"I think General Jackson also wants to end this war as soon as possible." Liang Yao said.

In the two months since the start of the war, the US$300 million military expenditure allocated by the federal government before the war has long since bottomed out, and the military supplies provided have long been exhausted.

Beginning in February, Jackson called Washington several times to ask for more military pay and supplies, but the request was not met.

If it weren't for the slave owners in the south who supported the Southern Army with their own money, and Liang Yao provided ammunition and supplies to sponsor Jackson's Southern Army, the Eastern Front would have been unable to fight.

Jackson was also now desperate for an early end to the war.

After Jackson learned of the coup d'état in Mexico, he immediately stopped the siege.

He was keenly aware that the opportunity for a decisive battle with Mexico's main force had come.

Comez brazenly launched a coup to seize power in Mexico, established a military government, and even Santa Ana's family was controlled by Comez.

Santa Ana might not be able to hide in San Luis Tobosi anymore.

Santa Ana can lose this war, but Santa Ana cannot lose the presidency.

Power is what a dictator is most afraid of losing.

Jackson built a stone wall on the only way the Mexican army must go to Mexico City, preparing to stop the Mexican army and fight the main force of the Mexican army in Santa Ana.

As Jackson expected, the fire in the backyard made Santa Ana, who had been sticking to San Luis Tobosi, anxious like ants on a hot pot.

For power, but also for the family in Mexico City.

Santa Ana's impulses got the better of his reason, and he decided to give it a go.

The 24000 Mexican troops in the three cities of San Luis Toposi, Leon, and Aguascaldast are now all his capital.

Like a red-eyed loser, Santa Ana took out all his capital and put all his eggs in one basket.

At Santa Ana's order, 24000 Mexican soldiers marched toward Mexico City.

The U.S. military's delay in attacking the three cities of San Luis Toposi, Leon, and Aguascaldast shows that the U.S. military is not strong enough.

He didn't believe that the U.S. military, which was short of troops, could eat up his main force in one go.

The Mexican army of Santa Ana, which was heading south to Mexico City, soon encountered the main force of the southern army.

Jackson's southern army quickly entered the role of defenders, relying on the stone walls and other fortifications built in advance to block the Mexican army from going south.

The Southern Army's troops in the early [-]s were not enough for offense, but they were more than enough for defense.

Under the resistance of the southern army, the Mexican army suffered heavy losses.

But the Mexican army did not collapse. Under the personal supervision of Santa Ana, the Mexican army barely broke through the first line of defense of the southern army.

But waiting for the Mexican army is the second and third defensive line of the southern army.

Jackson let the Virginia regiment, Tennessee regiment, and Louisiana regiment that had withdrawn from the first line of defense retreat to the rear of the defense line to recuperate.Order the North Carolina regiment, South Carolina regiment, and Georgia regiment to go up and fight the Mexican army.

He wanted to maintain the combat effectiveness of the southern army by means of a wheel-to-wheel battle, and slowly consume the vital strength of the Mexican army.

The turning point in the war came when the Western Brigade joined the field.

After learning that Jackson's southern army was in a decisive battle with Santa Ana's main Mexican army, Liang Yao did not choose to sit on the sidelines, but immediately dispatched the main force to the northwest to join the battlefield.

The addition of the Western Brigade was like the last straw that crushed the Mexican main force.

Since the Mexican army had no defense against the Western Brigade, the entire weak flank was exposed to the firepower of the Western Brigade.

The western brigade quickly defeated the Mexican army on the flank and disrupted the position of the Mexican army.

Seeing this, Jackson seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack against the main force of the Mexican army.

The two sides started a decisive battle on the spot.

In just three days, [-] Mexican troops were defeated by the Southern Army and the Western Brigade.

Mexican President Santa Ana is captured.

The outcome of the Second Mexican-American War thus settled.

Comez's armed force regained several lost territories, such as the states of Guerrero, Miconcho, and Hidalgo.

The military government temporarily stabilized the hearts of the people by virtue of regaining lost ground, and Comez also became a national hero in the hearts of the Mexican people.

The so-called regained lost ground of the Comez armed forces is not so much recovered as it was directly surrendered to them by the U.S. military.

After the battle line was determined, the two sides reached the negotiating table.

As the head of the new government and a hero in the eyes of the Mexican people, Comez will certainly not sign the unequal treaty of land cession on behalf of the Mexican government, which will damage his tall image.

Comez made Santa Ana the president for a few days, and Santa Ana signed the cession agreement on behalf of the Mexican government. After the signing was completed, he asked Santa Ana to voluntarily cede the presidency.

Liang Yao and Jackson also delineated their respective spheres of influence on behalf of California and the South.

California's sphere of influence is mainly concentrated on the Pacific coast, specifically: the former Mexican Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, Sinaloa, Narit, Guadaja Laha State, Colima State.

The sphere of influence in the south is mainly concentrated in the Gulf Coast area, specifically: Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, San Luis Toposi, Zacatecas, and Guanajuato.

After California and the South determined their respective spheres of influence, Comez demanded that the United States pay Mexico $1500 million as a cession of territory following the old system of the "Guadalupe-Hidelgo Treaty" signed in the First Mexican-American War. compensate.

Of course, it was impossible for Liang Yao to agree to the figure of 1500 million US dollars, and it was even more impossible for Southern representatives such as Jackson and Bell to agree.

The two sides entered the stage of bargaining.

Liang Yao can only pay 500 million U.S. dollars in compensation, otherwise the war will continue until the Mexican government can't get a penny in compensation.

Of course, these are just harsh words spoken at the negotiating table.

It was already mid-March at this time, and on the continent of Europa, Britain, France, Russia and other countries were about to reach an agreement on conditions such as a truce in the Near East and redefining the sphere of influence in the Ottoman Empire.

It is realistic to continue the fight, and we will face the problem of borrowing from countries such as Britain and France.

It would be wise to accept now.

After some wrangling, both sides retreated a few steps, but the Mexican side retreated a bit.

The final compensation amount was settled at US$700 million.
