MEX - Addition of Manuel Pérez Treviño as a general and theorist

[Bring-me-llamas]

HOI4 version: Stella Polaris v1.13.3.f717 Kaiserreich version: Beta 0.27.1

• Add Manuel Pérez Treviño as a Level 1 division general, with the traits "Politically Connected" and "Artillery Officer", in the event of a reactionary military coup shortly after Zapata's assassination.
• Additionally, he should be a military theorist with the Superior Firepower Expert trait, available if the ruling party is neither Socialist nor Social Democrat.
• Below are two photographs I believe could be useful sources for his portrait:

Mexico starts off as a country boasting a rich roster of commanders for its size, made up of 1 field marshal and 9 generals. In the process of turning Conservative or Reactionary, they must:

• Be reduced to a relatively paltry 5 generals at the lower end of the quality spectrum.
• Have their Level 3 field marshal replaced with a Politically Connected Level 1 one.
• Lose their two specialized theorists (Mobile Warfare and Grand Battleplan Experts), with a generic Land Doctrine Expert needing to fill in the blanks (which deprives the player from selecting him as a Respected War Hero while he's only available in the very same paths that retire the other theorists)

The military options for paths stemming from the reactionary coup offer nothing unique to the player and are objectively inferior to those of other paths. The loss of nearly half the general roster means players will find themselves needing to hire generic ones far earlier than they'd be in other paths. They are also left with a dearth of political advisors, making the necessity of hiring the Land Doctrine Expert who doubles as a political advisor all the more limiting.

Adding Pérez Treviño to the general roster after the coup would go a little way towards alleviating these issues. Making him a Superior Firepower Expert would also grant the post-coup paths a unique doctrinal direction (distinguishing it from the Socialists and Social Democrats' preference for Mobile Warfare and Grand Battleplan) and free up the Land Doctrine Expert to be used as a Respected War Hero instead.

Moreover, he's already mentioned to be the second main orchestrator of the reactionary coup, yet is never seen or heard of again after its execution:

Historically, Pérez Treviño's highest rank was Brigadier General (obtained in 1917), just two ranks below Division General in the Mexican Army. In Kaiserreich, he could get an emergency promotion into Division General during the coup (paralel to Garza's promotion to Field Marshal) to fill in the space emptied by defections of revolutionary generals. The justifications for his traits are as follow:

• Level 1: Reflects his freshness as a Division General.
• Politically Connected: Reflects the rushed nature of his promotion, obtained through his extensive ties to figures in power.
• Artillery Officer: Prior to his promotion to Brigadier General, he spent the entirety of his military career as 2nd Captain of an artillery unit.
• Superior Firepower Expert: He co-designed the cannon used by the Constitutionalists in the entirety of their military campaign.

I'm aware that the current state of Mexico in Kaiserreich makes a rework or revamp necessary to bring it closer to its modern standards. However, Mexico can still be a fun nation to play as, and I consider this addition an apt and relatively simple one that is able to bring the military capabilities of the AuthDem, PatAut and NatPop paths a little closer to the quality of the other ones.
