It is true this road would have brought troops in by Guadalupe a town, church and detached spur of mountain about two miles north of the capital, all bearing the same general name and at this point Lake Texcoco comes near to the mountain, which was fortified both at the base and on the sides: but troops could have passed north of the mountain and come in only a few miles to the north-west, and so flanked the position, as they actually did on the south.
"What is this?" Watson rapped. "I'm not at all amused." The Honorable Russ stood also. "There is no use prolonging this. I have heard you Earthlings say, more than once, that man adapts to preserve himself. Very well, we of Genoa and Texcoco are adapting to the present situation.
"Ten years it is," Mayer snapped back at him. Jerry Kennedy saluted with his glass. "Cheers," he said. On the return to Genoa Amschel Mayer said to Kennedy, "Are you sober enough to assimilate something serious?" "Sure, chief, of course." "Hm-m-m. Well then, begin taking the steps necessary for us to place a few men on Texcoco in the way of, ah, intelligence agents." "You mean some of our team?"
Remember back in the twentieth century when Hitler and his gang announced they were the big potatoes in Germany and men of Einstein's stature fled the country being small potatoes, I suppose." Amschel Mayer said, "We're getting away from the point. Pray go on, my dear Leonid. You say you are forcibly uniting all Texcoco." "We are uniting all Texcoco," Plekhanov corrected with a scowl.
The City of Mexico lies west of Rio Frio mountain, on a plain backed by another mountain six miles farther west, with others still nearer on the north and south. Between the western base of Rio Frio and the City of Mexico there are three lakes, Chalco and Xochimilco on the left and Texcoco on the right, extending to the east end of the City of Mexico.
Joe Chessman was at the controls of the space lighter. At his side sat Leonid Plekhanov and behind them the other six members of their team. They had circled Texcoco twice at great altitude, four times at a lesser one. Now they were low enough to spot man-made works. "Nomadic," Plekhanov muttered. "Nomadic and village cultures." "A few dozen urbanized cultures," Chessman said.
Already the Khan has allowed you to interfere with our worship of our gods. This will mean " Plekhanov growled, "Be silent, old man, and don't bother to mention, ever again, your so-called gods. And now, all of you listen. Perhaps some of this will not be new, how much history has come down to you I don't know. "A thousand years ago a colony of one hundred persons was left here on Texcoco.
On the way back to Texcoco, Barry Watson said to his chief, "What do you think of putting some security men on Genoa, just to keep tabs?" "Why?" Watson looked at his fingers, nibbled at a hangnail. "It just seems to me it wouldn't hurt any." Chessman snorted. Dick Hawkins said, "I think Barry's right. They can bear watching. Besides in another decade or so they'll realize we're going to beat them.
Roberts said, "Same applies to Texcoco. The State has made fabulous strides, but I am not sure what would happen if we leaders were to leave. There might be a complete collapse." Watson said, "We seem to be in basic agreement. Is a suggestion in order that we extend, for another twenty-five years, at least, this expedition's work?" Dick Hawkins said, "The Office of Galactic Colonization "
A spark and all Texcoco goes up in flames." Reif said coldly, "We need immediate reforms. They've got to be pacified. An immediate announcement of more consumer goods, fewer State taxes, above all a relaxation of Security Police pressures. Given immediate promise of these, we might maintain ourselves." Joe Chessman's sullen face was twitching at the right corner of his mouth.
