Holy Roman Empire

Massimiliano wanted to be the emperor of Mexico, but it stimulated many people's nerves.

The Republican opposition in China is enough, because the French support it, and there are many people within the constitutionalists who are worried that the French will continue to expand and chose to wait and see.

Before Massimilino arrived in Mexico, Lincoln expressed his attitude, opposed French interference in Mexican internal affairs, and condemned the French for violating Moneroism.

This is a minor problem. Even the internal affairs of the United States have interfered. Who will take Monroeism to heart? Lincoln's protests by the French did not pay any attention.

The Spaniards had occupied Haiti, Austria reached out to Central America, the British intentionally took it back to the west, and the French naturally did not think it was wrong to plot Mexico.

There is no direct annexation, it is only to support the puppet government rule, which has paid great attention to eating.At least it is more attractive than Austria. It wants to turn Central American countries into autonomous provinces.

Not only did the northern government object, but even the southern government objected to Massimilino's appointment as the emperor of Mexico.They are worried that the development of the Mexican Empire will damage their interests.

In this context, in March 1864, Massimiliano boarded the throne of the Mexican emperor, historically known as: Massimiliano I.

Everyone's eyes are on the American Civil War, and they are not interested in this newly born Mexican emperor. This time the enthronement ceremony can be said to be the worst in a century.

If the guests can't get on the table, they won't talk about it.At such a distance, you can't expect the European nobility to personally run, even if you need to send a representative, do you need to pay for it?

It ’s okay to decorate the scene, anyway, it ’s a ceremony.In the end, it depends on the performance. Failure is called shabby, and success is called love for the people.

The key is that the Republicans are doing things. On the day of the coronation, they organized a massive parade to demand that the emperor get out.

At the scene of enthronement, there were several middle school teenagers who wanted to destroy the ceremony. Fortunately, the guards responded in time to prevent this bad behavior.

This is considered to be the strength of Mexico, and gave the emperor's dismounting power. In this unique way, he told Massimiliano I: Yours is not popular. If you are smart, cooperate with us.

...

Shortly after Massimiliano Noor's reign, the North and the South launched a decisive battle.

In mid-April 1864, at the border between Pennsylvania and Ohio, the northern government assembled 420,000 troops, and the southern government assembled 340,000 troops.

The outcome of this battle will directly affect the future situation of the United States.

If the northern government loses the battle, then Pennsylvania will fall, and the Great Lakes Industrial Zone will fall into the hands of the southern government, and the northern government is basically powerless.

On the contrary, if the southern government lost the war, then the advantages they accumulated in the previous period will be lost.

The northern government can take the prestige of victory, recapture Ohio and Maryland, and then use its strength to crush the southern government.

The eyes of all countries have gathered here. As a bystander, both the north and the south will never be able to win or lose. This is what everyone wants to see most.

From the outbreak of the civil war to the present, the total industrial volume of the United States has fallen by 43%, and the output of agricultural products has fallen by 37%.

In particular, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Kentucky, which are on the battlefield, suffered the most losses.

The total population of the United States has fallen below 30 million. The war has caused serious trauma to the country. It has not been able to return to the pre-war level in ten years. The states that are the war zone will lick the wounds in the next two or thirty years.

The harder Americans fought, the greater the benefits for European countries.The arms dealers will not say anything, and all of them will make a fortune.

Other industries are also very productive. Take Austria as an example: Without the impact of the United States, a major grain exporter, international grain prices have risen by 13%. As the largest exporter of agricultural products in Europe, it naturally became the biggest winner.

In addition to agricultural products, Austrian industrial and commercial products also appeared on the American market.Total exports to the United States increased by 46% compared with before the war.

The United Kingdom and France did not succeed, and took advantage of this opportunity to raid the city in the Americas, especially the southern government with weak industry. Most of the industrial and commercial products used now come from European countries.

The northern states are not much better. After the economic transition to war, other civilian industrial and commercial products are naturally greatly reduced, and the market is flooded with European manufacturing.

Don't look at Franz hoarding arms in advance to seize business opportunities. In fact, it is the British who are the most economically profitable.

As the industrial overlord in the world, John Bull surpassed the sum of all countries in the world in the export of industrial and commercial products, and naturally became the biggest beneficiary.

Since the four countries of Anglo-French-Ossie decided to reach agreement on the issue of the United States, the ministers of the four countries have often come together to exchange views, and occasionally disputes may arise.

Austrian representative Drucker proposed: "The key moments have arrived. No matter who wins or loses this battle, we must intervene.

If the action is late, the two sides have divided the victory and defeat, and then the price to pay for intervention is not a bit of a star.I propose to immediately organize intervention in the coalition forces and directly use force to intervene in the American civil war."

French representative Yarfried objected: "Your Excellency, it is too early for us to start. No matter who wins this battle, it will be a heavy loss and will not have the ability to counterattack in the short term.

This war will continue for a long time. It is the best choice to use the civil war to consume American strength as much as possible.

If we end now, both the southern government and the northern government have retained strong military strength, which is not conducive to our next activities in North America."

This is a guise. The key is that the French are concentrating on dealing with Mexican affairs. Now they have to send troops to interfere in the American Civil War. They have too little troops.

Benefits are always linked to strength. The greater the power that can be invested now, the greater the benefits that can be obtained after the war.

Everyone is a veteran power. There is no fuel-efficient lamp. If you want to take advantage of it, you don't want to contribute. Don't dream about this kind of good thing.

What Alfrid wants to do now is to delay time, wait for them to free their hands, and then intervene in the American Civil War in order to maximize their interests.

Anyway, in his view, the four countries of Britain, France, Océ, and the United States interfered in this civil war without any difficulty at all.Not to mention that the United States, whose vitality is bad now, even the United States full of blood and resurrection, cannot compete with the four countries at the same time.

British representative Mario Liver said, "By the time the American Civil War has fought, both sides have been exhausted, and it is unlikely that it will last for a long time.

If it were not for both sides to stand, there would be no decisive battle.Judging from the situation on the battlefield, everyone is very clear that the preparations for the battle between the north and the south are very hasty.

If you continue to wait, no one can guarantee what will happen next.In the event of a victory or defeat, did the North and the South compromise directly?

As a third party, if we miss the best opportunity for intervention, how can we protect the interests of everyone after the war?

I support the plan proposed by Drucker, and now we must immediately organize the intervention army so as not to expand the situation and damage our interests."

Two to one, the Spaniard's one vote became the key to the decision.If they support the French, then the question of two to two still needs to be discussed; on the contrary, the minority will obey the majority and the proposal will be passed.

Spanish Minister Francisco said: "As far as I know, the connection between the North and South governments has never been interrupted. In order to avoid the worst, I support the formation of an intervention army."

Not surprisingly, Spanish Minister Francisco made the choice that best served his interests.

If this intervention plan fails, the great cause of the three countries of Britain, France and Austria will be affordable, but Spain alone will not.

Americans have long been eyeing the Cuba area, but Cuba is also Spain's richest colony. They can bring them a lot of wealth every year. In the face of a unified United States, they can't hold on.

In the face of core interests, the Spaniards dare not take risks.Therefore, the Spaniards have been very active on the issue of splitting the United States. Even if there are many contradictions in Spain, they have joined the interference alliance.

British Minister Mar Oliver went on to say: "Three to one, the proposal is passed. Now let's summarize the number of troops from each country to ensure the smooth progress of the intervention.

Great Britain can dispatch the American fleet, including 5 armored ships, 16 sail battleships, 38 other types of warships, and 80,000 armies."

This is almost all of the British mobile armed forces in North America. Obviously they have invested their blood and are ready to completely divide the United States.

The Austrian Minister Drucker thought for a while and said, "Our American fleet can also be dispatched, but in the West Coast region, we now have 3 armored ships and more than 30 various warships, and the Army can dispatch 50,000 people."

This is currently the Americas region, most of the military strength of Austria, if not the domestic reinforcements not long ago, can not bring out so many troops.

After all, the Central American region is still unstable, and the locally organized militias are obviously immobile.The United States could not be interfered, and as a result its own colony was lost again.

Spanish Minister Francesco said without confidence: "We can dispatch the Cuban fleet, more than fifty warships of all kinds, including one armored ship, and the army we can mobilize 70,000."

No way, Spain really fell.If it were not for supporting the facade, this armored ship would not be there.As for the 70,000 Army, this includes an army of local indigenous peoples, and its combat effectiveness is unknown.

The eyes of the three men turned to Alfred, France, but the main force of the army that intervened in the coalition, he had not bragged about B in the past, and now it is their performance.

After hesitating for a while, Alfred made a decision: "We can dispatch the American fleet. More than fifty warships of all kinds, including three armored ships, the Army can dispatch 60,000 people."

In any case, France's face must not be lost.The big question of Mexico was postponed. This action directly related to the division of American interests after the war.

The American backyard will soon become a hunting ground for the four countries. If it is already a hunting ground for everyone, it will be a treaty to divide the sphere of influence of each country.
