What Is VIA's Role in Mexico?

VIA crossed into Mexico six months earlier with eight guys, some rifles, and some coffee. VIA recognized Carranza's authority only as a matter of political and military convenience. While VIA was organizing his new division del Norte, he was sending regular, dutiful reports back to Carranza. The city of Torion sits in southern northern Mexico, or northern central Mexico - depending on which descriptors you'd like to use. It was the rich linchpin of the region, and capturing it would be a huge boon to the fortunes of revolution.
