In the more than 20 years from 1824 to 1846, there were about 250 military coups in Mexico, and 31 Presidents were replaced. In the five years from 1841 to 1846, more than a dozen Presidents were replaced, on average every four months.
The level of chaos within Mexico can be seen.
In this series of coups, the most famous military dictator is Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the actual controller of Mexico today.
In the more than 20 years after the founding of the Federal Republic, he successfully achieved his purpose of controlling and controlling the government of the Republic several times by using all kinds of cunning and conspiracy means, either by supporting puppets or by himself.
Between 1833 and 1846, he became president or actual dictator of Mexico four times.
These military dictators, including Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, did not want to stabilize the situation and develop the economy after they came to power. Instead, they used their power to plunder people's wealth wantonly and made them miserable.
In this turbulent situation, the Mexican government is unable to exercise effective jurisdiction and control over the northern border provinces. In Northern California, the Mexican government has not even set up an orderly government. There is almost no traffic line between Mexico City and Monterey.
Although Mexico has achieved independence, but because the land system has not changed fundamentally, the backward feudal real estate system still occupies the dominant position. In addition, the political situation is turbulent, the arbitrary search of autocratic rulers and the destruction of war, the agricultural development of Mexico lags behind for a long time, and the development of industry and mining industry is extremely limited.
On the whole, Mexico's economy has developed very slowly since independence.
As a neighbor of the United States, in the same period, the economy is showing a vigorous development trend. The Middle East and the northern region are carrying out the industrial revolution vigorously, and the gap between the economic strength of the two countries is widening.
The United States, with its increasingly strong national power, covets the resources and land of Mexico and begins to constantly infiltrate and provoke the northern provinces of Mexico. However, Mexico, with its weak national power, is doomed to its tragic failure in the contest between aggression and anti aggression.
Chen Mo didn't plan to stop the American invasion war against Mexico. The United States coveted the northern territory of Mexico not for a day or two. A weak and confused country has vast land and rich resources, but he didn't know how to use and protect it. It's like a rabbit sent to a hungry wolf. It's sooner or later to be eaten.
After all, Mexico is not Chen Mo's country. He can't fight for others. This is the general trend and the necessity of history.
In terms of economic layout, Chen Mo didn't want to intervene more or even change the outcome of the war, which would have an unpredictable impact on the future.
In fact, Chen Mo not only has no intention of organizing the war, but also looks forward to the coming of the war.
When Chen Mo set up lots of large-scale ranches in the west, Victor and James also slaughtered in the Rockies. With the cooperation of Indian soldiers, they soon slaughtered most of the armed men of the Rockies fur company under Jim brid and seized the control of the fur trade in the Rockies.
After all, the armed personnel of fur company are private armed, both in number and strength are very limited. With the rapid improvement of the strength of the two, these opponents can not pose a great threat to them, and usually can end the battle without damage.
They need stronger opponents to help them continue to improve, and the military is clearly the best option.
Of course, the strength of their opponents is stronger, which means that they are facing greater risks.
However, after this period of battle, their strength has been greatly improved, not only their physical fitness has been far beyond the ordinary people, but also their self-healing ability has been greatly improved.
In the beginning, it took more than ten minutes for the two men's more serious injuries to fully heal. Now, the time has been shortened to less than three minutes.
That is to say, even if they are hit by a bullet in the heart or brain, they will not die, but will "revive" again in three minutes!
Of course, if accidentally hit by a bullet in the brain, although the two can still survive, the original memory will be lost.
However, the improvement of the physical quality of the two people is accompanied by the repair of the injury, so the strength of the whole body, including the bones, is much stronger than that of ordinary people. As long as it is not to hit the eyes and other weak parts, and with the power of the firearm at this stage, the bullet directly hit the two people's skulls, it is not necessarily able to shoot their skulls through.
So Chen Mo also assured them to step on the battlefield and continue to hone themselves in a more harsh environment.
In the movie, Victor and James set foot on the battlefield for the first time during the civil war, 16 years ago. At that time, they were in their twenties, growing from two skinny teenagers who left home to two large men.
The belligerent instinct formed naturally after the awakening of their abilities because they need to improve their strength through fighting is naturally eager for fighting. However, in the movie, they did not participate in the US Mexico war, because they were just two young people who had left their homes and were homeless. They did not have Chen Mo's care and training, nor so many armed personnel to help him They are honing themselves, and their strength should be improved very slowly.Even the two may have been hiding their identities, not daring to reveal their special abilities, let alone fighting to the full, so in Chen Mo's memory, the strength they showed when they took part in the civil war is not even stronger than they are now, let alone in this period of time. In the movie, they are not even out of Canada at this time.
But now, with the deliberate cultivation and teaching of Chen Mo, not only their strength has been greatly improved, but also their bodies have changed a lot.
In less than a year, both of them grew a large part of their height rapidly, and their bodies were no longer thin and thin as before. They all became big and strong, and their original young faces became firm and steady under the tempering of this battle.
At first glance, they look like they are 16 or 17 years old. They are quite different from the time when they first met Chen mo.
If we want them to join the US Mexico war, naturally we need to join the army first. Chen Mo has been prepared for this.
