The seventh day of the ninth month, the capital.
The secret diplomatic mission of the Dawson Dynasty, carrying the formal agreement between the two sides, began their journey back to their homeland.
After five days of discussion, the delegations from both sides discussed the demarcation line of the Maya Dynasty and the specific deployment of the war. They then reported it to the emperors of both sides and finalized it one by one.
The next step was to execute the plan.
…
September 10th. The Dawson Dynasty used the autumn harvest as an excuse to temporarily halt their attacks against the Maya Dynasty. Their armies began to retreat from the frontlines in an orderly fashion, as though they were resting and reorganizing.
Two days later, the Great Xia mercenaries stationed in the Mayan Dynasty retreated from the frontline and returned to the military base.
The temperature on the Mayan battlefield suddenly dropped.
The Maya Dynasty had yet to realize the existence of the problem. Seeing that the temperature of the battlefield had dropped, they were happy to take a break. To tell the truth, the amount of pressure the Dawson Dynasty had exerted on them during this period of time was quite enormous.
The taut bowstring loosened a little.
Something unexpected happened on September 18th. Just as the frontlines had relaxed, the Dawson Dynasty's army, which had just "retreated", suddenly made a comeback, and their momentum was even greater than before.
The Dawson Dynasty once more sent reinforcements to the front lines!
When the Maya Dynasty received the news, they were shocked. They anxiously ordered the frontline to be on guard and contacted the Xia Dynasty's mercenaries to ask them to end their rest and go to the frontline to participate in the battle.
Unexpectedly, the Great Xia Dynasty's mercenaries rejected the Mayan Dynasty's request for battle, citing the fact that their troops had suffered heavy casualties and were in urgent need of rest and reorganization.
According to the employment agreement signed by both parties, the Mayan Dynasty did not have the power to force the mercenaries. Both parties only had an employment relationship based on money.
Therefore, if the mercenaries were not willing to go to war, the Mayan Dynasty could do nothing about it.
After being rejected, the Mayan Dynasty became anxious. Within a day, they sent three batches of people to the military base. The conditions they proposed were better and better.
Unfortunately, the mercenaries remained unmoved.
This delay lasted for another five days. During this period of time, because the Great Xia mercenaries weren't around, the Mayan army's defensive pressure increased. They suffered heavy losses and lost three cities in a row.
The Mayan King was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He did not hesitate to personally rush to the military base and request for the Great Xia mercenaries to set off immediately and head to the frontline to provide support.
It was a pity that the Mayan King's reputation was not as high as it seemed.
This time, the military base where the mercenaries were located was closed. The Mayan King was given the cold shoulder. Only then did the Mayan King realize that something was amiss.
He also smelled danger in the air.
But the situation at the frontlines was critical, and the Mayan King didn't have much time to think. Without the help of the Grand Xia's mercenaries, the Mayan Dynasty's army was beaten into a sorry state by the Dawson Dynasty's army.
The Mayan King had no choice but to seek help from the organization.
The Azure Badge received the request for help from the Mayan King and took it very seriously. On the same day, they sent a delegation to the capital to personally mediate the matter.
The Mayan Dynasty was not only one of the four remaining dynasties of the Azure Emblem Faction, but it was also the only existence of the Azure Emblem in the American continent. Its strategic position was very important.
The problem was that the Great Xia army was currently working together with the Ashoka Dynasty to pursue and attack the Gudo Dynasty, which was also in the Azure Emblem camp. The honeymoon period between the two sides had ended before it even started.
It was still a problem if he could convince Great Xia.
What happened next confirmed the worries of Azure Badge's higher-ups.
The Chamberlain of Great Xia's Chamberlain of Dependencies courteously received the diplomatic group and did not neglect them.
The problem was that when it came to specific matters, the officials of the Chamberlain of Dependencies were secretive and did not want to discuss in detail. It was as if they were intentionally stalling for time.
The game of "diplomacy" between the two sides was unlikely to have a result in a short period of time.
The problem was that the frontline did not wait for anyone!
The following plot was very melodramatic, but it was also very fatal. It was enough to push the Mayan Dynasty into the abyss.
On the first of October, the Great Xia mercenaries unilaterally notified the Mayan Dynasty to end the employment agreement between the two sides. Under the escort of the Atlantic Fleet, they set off for the Colombian Province to be stationed.
Although the Mayan King was furious, he could do nothing about it.
It could even be said that the Mayan King did not dare to send troops to intercept them. Firstly, the military strength was tight, and secondly, he did not want any unforeseen events to happen at this critical moment.
After all, the relationship between the two sides was purely an employer-employee relationship.
As for whether they were allies or not, it might really be wishful thinking on the part of the Mayan Dynasty.
The relationship between the Great Xia and the Mayan Dynasty had always been one of employment. The King of the Mayan Dynasty was well aware of this.
The worst was yet to come.
On the third of October, the day after the successful withdrawal of the Great Xia mercenaries, Great Xia brazenly declared war on the Mayan Dynasty. The North American General Xue Rengui led four legions of the North American Army to attack the Mayan Dynasty from the Panama region. At the same time, the third formation of the Atlantic Fleet was guarding the coast.
The sudden declaration of war by Great Xia was undoubtedly a death sentence for the Mayan Dynasty.
It was only then that the Mayan King realized that, without him knowing, the two giants of the American continent had already reached a tacit agreement and secretly divided the Mayan Dynasty.
To be honest, this feeling was really depressing.
"I am the meat on the chopping block."
In such a chaotic world, the weak really could not control their own fate.
The brazen Northern American Army of Great Xia was like a cold military knife that stabbed the Mayan Dynasty in the back, causing the unprepared Mayan Dynasty to lose the last chance to resist.
With the tacit cooperation between Great Xia and the Dawson Army, the Mayan Dynasty did not last for too long.
On the 12th of October, the army of the Dawson Dynasty was the first to conquer Mexico City, announcing that the Mayan Dynasty, which once had a place in the world, was officially coming to an end.
According to the agreement signed between Great Xia and the Dawson Dynasty, both sides would use the foot of the Sierra Madre Del Sur in Mexico City as the boundary, and the entire Mayan Dynasty would be divided into two.
The Dawson Dynasty occupied most of the areas in Mexico City. Relying on the mountains and deserts in Mexico City, it formed a natural barrier against Great Xia.
In this way, the Dawson Dynasty had a strategic buffer zone in the south.
Great Xia occupied a little bit in the south of Mexico City, and the entire Central American continent, specifically including Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica.
These areas would form the fifth province of the American Protectorate, the Caribbean Province, together with the Panama region and the Greater and Lesser Antilles that were previously included in the Columbia Province.
The Caribbean Province was worthy of its name. The entire Caribbean Sea was the internal sea of the province.
With this expansion, the American Protectorate was successfully promoted to a superior protectorate, and became the third superior protectorate of Great Xia.
At the same time, the former governor of Colombia, Zhou Haichen, was transferred to the governor of the Caribbean Province, and continued to guard the Panama Canal for the imperial court.
With this transfer, Zhou Haichen also shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the border.
The cooperation between Great Xia and the Dawson Dynasty came to an end the moment the Mayan Dynasty was divided. Next, the two dynasties would return to the state of confrontation.
The Caribbean Province was the frontline.
It could be foreseen that in the future, the two dynasties would surround the Gulf of Mexico, and there was bound to be a battle between them.
Ceng Gong, the former governor of Ningdu in the Jiangchuan Province, replaced Zhou Haichen and was promoted to the position of governor of Colombia.
At this point, the layout of Great Xia in the entire American continent came to an end, and the new structure of the American continent was basically established.
While Great Xia was busy dividing up the Mayan Dynasty, the situation in the Indian Region also changed.
