Villa had created a number of diplomatic incidents and Carranza was worried that would invite further U.S. intervention, whose forces already occupied Veracruz. On 8 July 1914, Villistas and Carrancistas signed the <a href="/wiki/Pact_of_Torreon" title="Pact of Torreon">Pact of Torreón</a>, in which they agreed that after Huerta's forces were defeated, 150 generals of the Revolution would meet to determine the future shape of the country. Carranza was angered by Villa's insubordination, particularly ignoring the order not to take Zacatecas. For this reason Carranza refused to let Villa march into Mexico City in August. Villa had contacted Obregón following Villa's capture of Zacatecas in June 1914, suggesting the two successful revolutionary generals could cooperate against the civilian Carranza. Obregón was not willing to do that at this point, preferring to try to keep the revolutionary coalition intact as long as possible. Obregón understood the danger that Villa presented to the Constitutionalists if the coalition was to fracture; he made two trips to Chihuahua in August and September 1914 to see Villa in person to try to mediate the situation between Villa and Carranza. During this period, Obregón got to know both Carranza and Villa well, which informed his later relations with them. Both trips to Villa were extremely risky for Obregón, placing himself in danger of being assassinated by Villa. In September, Villa and Carranza formally split,<sup id="cite_ref-krauze383_21-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-krauze383-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but Obregón positioned himself for the longer term. </p><p>During Obregón's first meeting with Villa in late August, the two agreed that Carranza should declare himself interim president of Mexico, as mandated in Carranza's Plan of Guadalupe when Huerta was defeated. Carranza refused to do so, since it would mean that he could not run for election as president. As the situation stood, Carranza was the head of an extra-legal government. Since the Constitutionalists supposedly fought for the restoration of constitutional government, Carranza was violating that in order to hold onto political power. Villa and Obregón further called on Carranza to appoint judges to the supreme court and establish a civilian judiciary. They also petitioned Carranza to establish councils at the federal and local levels that would then call elections. Obregón and Villa agreed that a new federal congress should make laws benefiting the poor. Since the revolutionary forces had destroyed the old Federal Army, a new military force came into being, the National Army. They agreed that members of the military should be barred from holding high political office. Villa and Obregón's agreement also stipulated that any revolutionaries currently under arms must resign from the military and be ineligible for civilian office for six months. Unlike Carranza, who was positioning himself to be elected president and not violate the no re-election principle for which the Constitutionalists fought, Villa and Obregón were not angling for the presidency, but rather seeking to restore constitutional order. A further agreement between Villa and Obregón was that land reform should be dealt with immediately, since it was the reason that many joined the revolution. Both generals saw immediate action on land for revolutionary soldiers as a priority. Obregón returned to Mexico City and presented the petition to Carranza. Carranza rejected it, even though Obregón told him it would lead to an immediate break with Villa.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Convention_of_the_Winners,_1914"><span id="Convention_of_the_Winners.2C_1914"></span>Convention of the Winners, 1914</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%C3%81lvaro_Obreg%C3%B3n&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Convention of the Winners, 1914"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Pancho_Villa,_el_presidente_provisional_Eulalio_Guti%C3%A9rrez_y_Emiliano_Zapata1.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Pancho_Villa%2C_el_presidente_provisional_Eulalio_Guti%C3%A9rrez_y_Emiliano_Zapata1.jpg/200px-Pancho_Villa%2C_el_presidente_provisional_Eulalio_Guti%C3%A9rrez_y_Emiliano_Zapata1.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="128" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Pancho_Villa%2C_el_presidente_provisional_Eulalio_Guti%C3%A9rrez_y_Emiliano_Zapata1.jpg/300px-Pancho_Villa%2C_el_presidente_provisional_Eulalio_Guti%C3%A9rrez_y_Emiliano_Zapata1.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Pancho_Villa%2C_el_presidente_provisional_Eulalio_Guti%C3%A9rrez_y_Emiliano_Zapata1.jpg/400px-Pancho_Villa%2C_el_presidente_provisional_Eulalio_Guti%C3%A9rrez_y_Emiliano_Zapata1.jpg 2x" data-file-width="500" data-file-height="321" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Eulalio_Guti%C3%A9rrez" title="Eulalio Gutiérrez">Eulalio Gutiérrez</a> (1881–1939), flanked by <a href="/wiki/Pancho_Villa" title="Pancho Villa">Francisco "Pancho" Villa</a> (1878–1923) and <a href="/wiki/Emiliano_Zapata" title="Emiliano Zapata">Emiliano Zapata</a> (1879–1919).
