It's no problem to use military means directly. It's absolutely no problem to use some other methods. For Reinhart, he has long been able to subvert a country's political power and stimulate domestic emotions.

Having looked away from the European battlefield, Reinhart is now going to focus all his attention on Mexico.

Well, there are many ways to provoke their contradictions. Now, Mexico has yielded under the force of the Americans and dare not be too hot with Germany. However, it is obviously impossible to last long.

When the plot against Mexico was arranged in the wolf's den, a meeting had just ended on the other side of the ocean and in the northernmost countries of Latin America.

The United States of Mexico, a federal republic in North America, borders the United States in the north, the Pacific in the South and West, the Caribbean in the southeast, Belize and Guatemala, and the Gulf of Mexico in the East.

With a land area of nearly 2 million square kilometers, it is the wealth of Mexico. However, like other colonies, oil has always been monopolized by foreign oil monopoly organizations, mainly the oil giants of Britain and the United States.

The British and Americans monopolized Mexico's oil industry, supported value puppets, plundered land and cruelly exploited the working people. But the Mexicans have stood up!

In order to get rid of the economic exploitation of foreign monopoly organizations and safeguard national sovereignty, the Cardenas government announced on March 18, 1938 that 17 countries from the United States and Britain would be established

All the oil industry of the oil company shall be nationalized, and its capital shall be repaid in ten years.

Of course, Mexico's move was fiercely opposed by the US and British imperialists. They took economic blockade, diplomatic pressure and other measures to force the Mexican government to withdraw its order. Domestic reactionary forces also incited slowdowns, burned oil wells and undermined nationalization. And there was a Sedillo rebellion.

But Mexico persisted. On May 13, 938, Mexico severed diplomatic relations with Britain, and then quelled the domestic rebellion. government

Relying on the people's donations, a special fund was established to repay the capital of foreign companies. At the same time, the contradiction between imperialism was used to sell oil to Germany, Italy and Japan.

The government handed over all the assets of nationalized foreign companies to "petromex" for operation and management. The nationalization of oil has won.

However, the Americans have always denied this. In the eyes of the Americans, such actions by Mexico are very treacherous. Now, the Americans are even more aggressive in an attempt to force Mexico to make concessions.

For example, Mexico agrees to nationalize its oil periodically. However, Mexico must declare war on Germany and even send troops to participate in the war. What should Mexico do then?

Historically, Mexico remained neutral in World War I, and declared war on the axis powers in World War II. It even dispatched an air force to fight on the Pacific battlefield and became a capital after the war.

Now, the situation is different. As a small country, maintaining neutrality is the best choice.

After hearing what Valdes said, Camacho nodded helplessly. Yes, the American ambassador left in a rage this time. The next step must be to continue to make a fuss on oil.

"We must safeguard our oil interests." Camacho said: "this is the most meaningful measure president Cardenas has taken for our country, which is related to the future of Mexico!"

The core interests are not exchangeable. Next, I'm afraid they will gradually drift away from the United States. However, Camacho doesn't want to take refuge in Germany. What's the benefit of fighting foolishly like Turkey?

What Mexico needs is stability, development, not war.
