Chapter 1371: Chapter 472: Gunfire Brings Forth Gold by the Thousands
"An uprising occurred within Mexico, and Generals Jesus Aguirre and Gonzalo Escovar, dissatisfied with Calles’ dictatorship in Mexico and the massacre of church members in Mexico, resolutely launched a just war..."
The day after Aguirre and Escovar launched their coup, the Atlantic City Post published this news.
They defined Aguirre and Ascowal’s coup as a just war.
Throughout the entire report, the article repeatedly mentioned Calles’ dictatorial behavior in Mexico, such as interfering in domestic elections, reorganizing the Labor Party for his own use, persecuting church members in Mexico, exploiting the Mexican people, and so on.
In the global network era, Americans rely on the media’s ability to reverse black and white to report and judge a country’s internal affairs, now more than ever.
Perhaps before this, the American public didn’t know who the President of Mexico was, but under the powerful influence of the Atlantic City Post, the American public now knew that the Mexican President Calles was a brutal dictator.
As Mexico is a neighbor, the American public does not want to see a dictator right next to them.
Thus, after this article was published and subsequently reprinted by countless media outlets within the United States.
The unique scenery of protest, found only in the Western world, reappeared on American streets!
The ordinary American public protested why their country had to cooperate with such a dictator.
The voice condemning Calles grew louder and louder.
Coolidge, as President of the United States, immediately called Calles to question why he was using brutal methods against his own people.
At the same time, churches within the United States also began a public opinion offensive, strongly condemning the Mexican Calles government for its persecution of churches.
For a moment, Calles became infamous in the United States.
"Donnie played this hand beautifully!"
Anthony Rothschild looked at the newspaper in his hand, his expression so calm that it was impossible to discern his true thoughts, "In this way, even if he donates some weapons to Aguirre and Escovar, no one will say anything."
Perhaps he has already donated!
Nate Rothschild understood Anthony Rothschild, so in Anthony Rothschild’s words, he heard a tone of envy.
"Calles is about to retreat behind the scenes, what’s the point of opposing him now?"
Nate Rothschild asked somewhat puzzled.
Anthony Rothschild said: "Nate, in terms of local perspective, you are already a very mature manager, but in terms of the big picture, you still lack a little. This time, Aguirre and Escovar chose to rebel at this time, even if they are suppressed by Calles, it shows some thoughtful people in Mexico that Calles has lost U.S. support. Calles without U.S. support and Calles with U.S. support are two different concepts!"
Nate Rothschild continued to ask: "But what benefit does Donnie get from this? We know the strength of Aguirre and Escovar; they only have 5,000 infantry soldiers, while Mexico has 40,000 regular army soldiers. A ratio of 1 to 8, they don’t seem to have the upper hand. Even if Calles loses U.S. support, this requires a process, during which Donnie’s business in Mexico will be difficult to develop!"
The entire Mexican regular army has about 45,000 soldiers overall, but if war breaks out, this number can instantly increase.
"And I heard earlier that when the Calles government was at war with the anti-government forces, Donnie donated a batch of weapons and ammunition to Calles." Nate Rothschild continued.
Anthony Rothschild waved his hand and said: "Do you know about Donnie’s previous visit to Mexico?"
Nate Rothschild said: "I know, but Donnie didn’t stay in Mexico very long!"
Anthony Rothschild nodded and said: "Exactly, I suspect Donnie went to Mexico this time to expand their Venus Bank business there. However, it’s quite evident that Donnie didn’t reach an agreement with Calles, so shortly after Donnie left Mexico, Aguirre and Escovar launched their rebellion."
Suddenly realizing, Nate Rothschild said: "You mean to say that Donnie incited this rebellion?"
"There must be Donnie’s involvement, but he likely didn’t incite it. He doesn’t yet have that kind of influence. The current U.S. government stance on Calles should be the assurance Donnie gave to Aguirre and Escovar!"
Anthony Rothschild said.
"I see. If Aguirre and Escovar’s rebellion succeeds, they will definitely relinquish some of the Mexican economy to Donnie. If they don’t succeed, Calles, after learning from Aguirre and Escovar, will also compromise something with Donnie!"
Nate Rothschild said, suddenly understanding.
"Indeed, regardless of whether Aguirre and Escovar’s rebellion succeeds or not, Donnie’s arrangements in Mexico have already achieved more than half of their goals!"
At this point, Anthony Rothschild’s tone of envy became even stronger.
"But I still feel Donnie’s actions are somewhat foolish!"
Nate Rothschild said calmly.
"Why do you say that?" Anthony Rothschild asked with a smile.
