"He's beginning to move again?"

"It appears so, sir."

"Alright - any orders from the capital?"

"The President is leaving this in your hands."

"Well enough."

"How do we want to proceed?"

General Pablo Garza quieted for a moment and ran his hand along his moustache, "Starts getting things ready - I'll call the rest of the staff and we'll begin drafting."

"Yes, sir."

In response to Zapata resuming hostility with the federal government, President Carranza has ordered General Pablo Garza (Current chief of the Army of Mexico) to organize for a renewed fight. Mexican Army units around Morelos (Zapata's stronghold) will maintain their encirclement of the state under the command of General Garza and will stay on the alert - they are ordered to quickly respond to any and all potential incursions from Zapatista forces. In the north, Generals Cardenas and de la Huerta have been ordered to focus on defensive preperations for potential raids from Villa.
