Chapter 479 Life will get better, won’t it?
March 3th was the first holiday after the negotiations were concluded.
White House.
Press spokesman Mike McFarland looked serious as he looked at the cameras in front of him. This elite who had worked in the news industry for more than 20 years...
I'm also a little scared.
He knew what he was going to say next...
America’s ambition to dominate the world came to an abrupt end at this moment!
Mike McFarland took a deep breath, "The United States admitted the failure and incorrectness of the Mexican-American War..."
"We apologize to Mexico and the Mexican people, and will provide compensation for the victims!"
Bang bang bang~
The reporters said nothing, just kept pressing the shutter buttons with shining eyes.

Although the Mexican-American War lasted only two and a half months, it created many famous journalists who relied on bonuses to get promoted, get salary increases, and win beautiful, rich wives.
Mexico City!
Victor National Park.
Tens of thousands of people gathered, holding banners in their hands, with busts of Victor painted on their faces, and nervously staring at the huge LED screen!
"We formally apologize to the Mexican people!"
When the image of Mike McFarland bowing slightly toward the camera to apologize came over, the moment…
The whole square was boiling with excitement!
No, it should be all of Mexico!
"Long live!"
Popcorn and Coke were thrown into the air. Many young people cheered loudly and stood in front of Victor's sculpture in a posture of worship.
The elderly cried bitterly, their tears and snot mixed with excitement, and their dry skin was covered with age spots. He gestured to the camera, "For 146 years, we have been oppressed by the United States for 146 years. We have been humiliated. Don't we know that drug dealers, smuggling, and trafficking are all condoned by the US government?"
"We know that we can't do anything before, but now!"
"The world listened to our suffering and sent us Victor, the best, the one and only, the eternal pearl of the Mexican people!"
The old man, who looked to be in his early 80s, shouted to the camera with all his strength, "General Victor, we love you! Long live! Long live!"
The people nearby also cheered, and finally... the cheers spread to all directions, and finally the whole square was shouting Long live!
Some journalists from other countries watched this scene in horror...
They looked at each other, their eyes were filled with fear...
A great personal power in one!
This is rare in countries around the world after World War II. The Northern Dynasties were one of them, but that was also based on the merits of founding the country. As for the generals who came later... their methods were not low either.
It is almost impossible to overthrow Victor's regime by using the power of the people.
"A red crested Caracara is devouring a bald eagle!" exclaimed a reporter from Belgium.
Whoosh~!!
The fireworks that had been prepared long ago flew into the sky one after another, filling the somewhat gloomy sky with bright lights!
The top floor of the National Palace.

Victor stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the crowd below who were shouting "Long live!", with mixed feelings in his heart!

He was undoubtedly proud.
The gains from this battle were so great that more than 30 warships in San Diego have been pulled back to the port.
what?
Give it back to the other party?
It's impossible!
There is no reason that the spoils of war should never be spit out. Among them, there are 11 Aegis ships, plus the one that "surrendered" before, Mexico has 12!
There are also supply ships, destroyers, frigates, and even a "Dolphin Submarine", a conventional diesel-electric submarine developed and equipped by the US Navy in the 20s.
It is the world's conventional-powered submarine with the deepest diving depth and capable of carrying multiple crew members.
They were originally being repaired and maintained at the port of San Diego, but once the war broke out, they had no time to escape and were captured!
These warships were a huge blow to the Mexican Navy, which had to retire all of its previous junk ships and transfer them to the Coast Guard, which was responsible for drug control in the waters.
It would have been great if we had another aircraft carrier, but unfortunately... we didn't capture any.
But the Mexican Navy became one of the top ten in the world overnight.
而在圣迭戈北岛海军航空兵基地,则没收了7架F/A-18战斗攻击机、贝尔-波音V-22飞机11架、4架E-2预警机,直接让海空军可以开开心心的过个年。
It is said that Admiral Ivica Alonso always had a smile on his face when he saw people every day, and he often chattered in the ear of Army Chief Erich Ludendorff, which made the latter so angry that he almost developed breast hyperplasia.
It is true that the army is rustic, the navy is foreign, and the air force is awesome and can fly.
American: Victor, when will you return the equipment you owe me?
Victor: Next time, next time!
Moreover, the negotiated Grande River belongs to Mexico, so farmers downstream will have more water.
Mexico will no longer have a history of water shortages!
People no longer have to choose only Coke, which affects their health.
In order to reverse the importance of "Coke" in Mexico, the Ministry of Justice has also issued a law to list Coke as an "addictive drink" and minors are not allowed to buy it!
Directly cut off the performance of Coca-Cola Company...
Victor was cutting off American influence in Mexico, which was one of the benefits of victory in the war.
In addition to these things on the surface, privately...
Mexico has been called: "The leader of the Third World".
More than 10 countries applied for the "Organization for the Innovation and Development of Human Progress", abbreviated as "Human Progress", within a week.
main…
People's Union has money to really give...
This influence cannot be calculated by any other means.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
Victor turned his head and said, "Come in."

Secretary Troud Jung came in. "General."
"Is there a problem?"
"Here are a few names of people who applied for the joint application. You need to take a look at them in person."
She said, handing over the document.
Victor raised his eyebrows slightly, he opened it, and saw the words "PRC!" written inside.
!!!
This is the only country that remained in place when the United Nations was excluding Mexico and all its diplomats left.
Although it did not provide much help in the Mexican-American War, sometimes it represented an attitude.
Victor felt that it was necessary to tie himself to them more closely...
Because after Mexico offends the United States, its economic growth will definitely be slow or it will be sanctioned in certain areas.
The Americans lost the war, but they will not give up infiltrating and attacking Mexico...
If Mexico's overall GDP cannot be improved, even if no one will blame Victor now, what about ten or twenty years later?
In 1992, the Eastern economy was taking off, and the demographic dividend and money brought by reform were flying all over the place.
Victor is no idiot!
If you don't hold on tightly now, when will you hold on?
"Please contact their ambassador for me and invite him to dinner." Victor said, looking at his watch.
Secretary Ms. Traud Jung nodded, "Okay General."
She waited for a while and left the office after seeing that the other party had no other instructions.
Victor sat in a chair, turned on his computer, and wrote the following sentence on a forum called "World Situation" led by the Mexican government:
A new struggle has begun!
...
7 .
In the banquet hall of the National Palace.
Victor met with "certain people", accompanied by Casare and Kennedy.
When they met each other, they had a very pleasant conversation. Victor praised the other party, and the other party also praised him for not fearing power.
It looked like both the host and the guests were having a great time.
Gradually we got to the point.
"I know you are implementing economic reforms, and we agree with your approach. I wonder if there is any possibility for us to cooperate in the business field?"

The elegant ambassador with glasses had his eyes lit up. "Of course, we welcome any friends who love peace and respect us to join us." Victor smiled and nodded, cutting the steak in his hand. "We plan to invest 200 billion US dollars in Shencheng, Yandu and more than a dozen cities!"
Bang~
The ambassador's knife and fork fell to the ground. He was startled and hurriedly tried to pick them up, but the servant next to him had already picked them up and replaced them with new ones.
"Feel sorry…"
Victor smiled and spread his hands.
An investment of 200 billion US dollars is a huge sum of money no matter where it is, let alone in the East in 1992?
At that time, a person with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan should still be the object of everyone's envy.
"This is just the first installment. In the next ten years, Mexico will strive to attract investments exceeding 1000 billion US dollars!"
Anyway...
The Americans have paid so much in compensation, it would be better to invest it instead of keeping it.
The remaining money is enough for Mexico to develop internally.
"We certainly welcome investment from Mexico, but this amount is too large and I need to report it to my superiors."
"Of course, this is not a small amount." Victor was also very understanding. He nodded, "As a communist country, we need to learn from the Soviet Union's experience and support each other, especially when facing the United States."
"I don't think I have defeated the United States. I have only bought a moment for Mexico. I still need to make continuous progress to curb the ambitions of the United States. Don't you think that a comrade who can shield you from the storm is very suitable for helping each other?"
That’s absolutely true!
The Cuban-Mexican alliance has made the United States hesitate to extend its tentacles too far in Southeast Asia, for fear that it will not be able to withdraw them when the time comes.
What the East lacks most now is time!
"Post-war Mexico needs to develop people's livelihood. From subways, airports to elevated roads, national roads and even residential areas, everything needs to be renovated. We can give you half of this cake."
The ambassador's face froze and he nodded slowly. This cake was delicious, but it was also risky...
"Please give me some time."
Victor nodded, "No problem, today is just an informal meeting."
After the dinner was over with everyone having their own thoughts, the ambassador left. His steps were a little unsteady, and it was obvious that he was impatient to report the problem.
1000 billion US dollars investment!!
It would take dozens or even hundreds of years to wipe your butt, right?
At this time, Victor and two other people were the only ones left in the banquet hall, smoking and looking at each other with different expressions.
"Boss, is it that serious? It is said that the place is very isolated and the economy is not good at all... We have invested so much, if we lose money..."
Only Casare said it directly.
Victor glanced at him, "Do you know how many people are there in that place?"
"Do you know how big their land is?"
"Do you know what a crowd means?"
Casare laughed and shook his head.
"They have 960 million square kilometers of land and a population of more than 10 billion, which is larger than the entire Europe combined. Such a large population also means that everything from daily necessities to other industries is in urgent need. We should take advantage of this market gap to occupy the market!"
Victor held out his hand. "Don't rely on evidence or experience for anything. Don't even believe what the media says. We have to explore, search, and understand on our own. Do you understand?"

Kennedy and Casare looked at each other, and although they both nodded, they were a little... indifferent.
Victor didn't say much, just smiled mysteriously and smoked.
Even in 2020, there are still many people who do not understand why the economy of the East has soared so fast.
He is like an investor who places a bet in advance. Since he knows the return, of course he will bet big.
And you have to be the first one to stand up in this situation when the whole world is not optimistic about it!
Actually, there is one more thing...
At least they do not support drug trafficking, and morally, they are ahead of the overall level of the United States.
This is the most important!
He was smoking, crossing his legs, squinting his eyes...
Sit back and watch the storm rise!
……
Black Canyon on the border of Nevada and Arizona.
There is a particularly famous place, the Hoover Dam!
Many people don’t even know about this place, but those who have been there say it’s… beautiful.
But little do people know that this place is an evil place where people are eaten without leaving any bones!
The Colorado River blocked by the Hoover Dam has Mexico downstream!
In 1922, the United States unilaterally passed the Colorado River Compact, which divided the water of the Colorado River among seven . states, balancing the conflicts of interest among the states. It was hailed as a milestone in the division of water rights of the Colorado River.
However, this milestone did not require an invitation to Mexico, which is also a country through which the river flows. Instead, a sentence was left in the contract, stating that if there is a water rights dispute with Mexico in the future, the states will redistribute the water. This sentence simply translated into Chinese means: "Don't worry about it, we will play our own game."
By 1944, at the end of World War II, the Americans' words had obviously become much clearer. They signed the "Agreement on the Utilization of the Colorado River" with the Mexican government, which clearly stipulated that the United States should provide Mexico with billion cubic meters of water every year. Do you think this number with both zeros and integers is very strange?
Yes, because the annual runoff of the Colorado River is 185 billion m. Compared with Goose City, where you can get % of the food even if you stand and beg, the food in Mexico is particularly ugly.
By 1956, the Americans, who always insisted on doing things to the extreme, planned four large dams in the upper reaches of the Colorado River, including the Aspinall Dam, the Fleming George Dam, the Navajo Dam and the Glen Canyon Project.
After the free trade agreement was signed in 1989, which allowed the free entry of goods from the three countries, Coca-Cola instantly occupied more than % of the market share.
Completely occupy the last bit of water resources.
Since then…
Earned the achievement "Mexico is too close to the United States".
Typical…
If you want to live a good life in the United States, you have to make Mexico suffer.
But now...
Outside the Hoover Dam, a group of people gathered, holding banners in their hands to protest!
The US government is going to blow up this dam which is nearly 70 years old.
This is a strong requirement in the "Armistice Agreement"!
Blow up the Hoover Dam, Aspinall Dam, Fleming George Dam, cancel the Glen Canyon project...
this kind of...

The Americans agreed...
I can only say that the pressure from capitalists is too great. What about the farmers?
Your Wall Street is about to be blown up, and you still care about your little piece of land?
you!
Are you worthy of being Americans?
So, you can protest, but you can’t change what the masters have decided.
In fact, some people wanted to just muddle through... After all, the impact after the explosion was really huge!
But Clinton thought it was better to have less trouble than more!
The Black Panthers were fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains, veterans’ pensions had not yet been paid, black people’s racial ideology was boiling, and Wall Street’s blackmail had just ended…
With so much trouble already under my belt, of course I don’t want to cause any more trouble.
"Prepare for explosion, everyone evacuate!"
A voice rang out on the intercom.
Everyone around left.
"three…"
"two…"
"one!"
"Detonation!"
As the countdown continues, the detonator is pressed, boom!
The Hoover Dam, which had blocked Mexico's flow for decades, was blown up, and the raging river began to boil down in an instant!
The dry areas on the downstream seabed were instantly submerged by water.
There were already countless Mexican people standing on the side of the Colorado River in Sonora State.
"Coming! Coming! Coming!"
Someone shouted, and the people opened their eyes and looked over, only to see the water from upstream rushing down!
Many dark-skinned farmers jumped excitedly on the shore, and some were even ready to jump off. Fortunately, the police were there to maintain order.
The reporters recorded these scenes.
In a few months, there will be a question like this in the 1992 Mexican college entrance examination.
“What does the bombing of the Hoover Dam and the flow of water down the Colorado River prove?”
“Answer: It means that the United States’ rule in North America has declined, and the Mexican people have stood up since then!”
Life…
It's going to get better, isn't it?
...
