Holy Roman Empire

The leisure time is always short, the Cuban crisis has just settled, and Mexico has another accident.This time the Americans have little responsibility, they just smuggled arms to the rebels.

This kind of thing, even if they don't do it, others will do it.Excellent arms dealers sell their weapons to the enemy.

As long as you have money, you do n’t have to worry about not buying weapons.If you can't buy it, it must be that you are not rich enough.

The Mexican Civil War has been fought for many years. In the early days, the government forces pressed the rebels. Now it is a turning point.

In the autumn of 1868, the Mexican government and the French army joined forces to carry out a large siege against the rebels. It was a must-win war, but it was finally overturned by the rebels.

After going through it in detail, there is no need to delve into it. The conclusion is that: the rebels took the civilians as hostages. Massimiliano I ordered the ban on the troops to shoot and kill the civilians, and then they were defeated gorgeously.

The Mexican government army was frightened, and by the way pitted an ally, the French army did not expect that the flanks would be threatened, resulting in heavy losses.

There are more than a thousand people, and now Napoleon III claims compensation from the Mexican government, holding them accountable.

Franz now received a letter of appeal from his brother Massimiliano, complaining about how the French were unreasonable and asking him for help.

Fortunately, this was a private letter, which was not sent directly to the Vienna government, otherwise it would be a shame.It is estimated that Massimiliano also knew the reason, and did not issue an official diplomatic document.

Franz didn't worry about the reaction of the French.Napoleon III regretted that it was too late, and it was impossible to return the goods.

Since it is necessary to support a second-year boy to be an emperor, it is natural to bear the corresponding consequences.Overall, their investment in Mexico is still at a loss.

Looting wealth sounds good, but the civil war in Mexico has continued, production has been severely damaged, and the country has long been short of people.

Even if Mexico is turned into a place of raw materials and commodities, production must be resumed first.People have no money in their pockets and naturally have little purchasing power.

The benefits the French earn in Mexico every year are not enough to cover military spending.Despite this expense, the Mexican government ultimately bears it.

However, the Mexican government is now so poor that even the annuity of Emperor Massimiliano I is in arrears.This hard-working child has not been paid once for so many years.

The main income of the Mexican government is now international loans, most of which are loans from France.In Franz's opinion, it is not too much, it is so billions of francs.

If Mexico can end the civil war and resume production, then Nu will work hard to pay off the debt without any problems.

There is not much else in the Silver Empire, that is, there is much money production.While silver prices have not fallen to the bottom, they still have the ability to pay off their debts.

Rubbing his forehead, Franz reluctantly wrote a reply.Borrowing money does not exist. How can you use your own money to fill a bottomless hole?

The French are rich now and don't care about such a loss.The matter was created by Napoleon III, or it would be better for them to be responsible.

It is very easy to suppress the rebellion, and contract this business directly to the French.If there is no money, there are still mines. Mexico ’s silver mines are enough to cover this expenditure.

There is only one focus, to balance the French commander in Mexico.Whether it is a bribe or a flicker, just let him sign.

But Franz told thousands of orders that General Wuyou would be just fine. Don't talk to the French Minister, and diplomacy is usually not good.

After the letter was sent out, Franz decided to help his brother.Otherwise, with his operational ability, even if a treaty is signed, the French may not be able to admit it.

There are many internal problems in Mexico, especially after the reform of Massimiliano I. Later generations have rated this war as a "reform war."

The emperor is a reformist, and the rebels are also reformists.It's just that the emperor is a true reformist, and the rebels are reformers who are under the banner of the reformist and seek to benefit themselves.

The ideal finally gave reality, the rebels won, and the emperor became a conservative spokesperson.In fact, if Massimiliano I really joined the conservatives, he would not lose the civil war.

The rebel victory marked the beginning of Mexican warlord politics.The situation in Mexico has not been peaceful until the 21st century.

"Tylon, send people to build momentum in France to let the French people know that their army can't even be beaten by Native Indians.

Just go out and the news. The later problems let the French people make up their minds. Do n’t join in too much, lest you feel too deliberate."

Fraud is still very good at speculating public opinion.Right and wrong are all in one moment, especially in this era, when the right to speak is in the hands of a few elites, it is easier to manipulate public opinion.

The French lost to the rebels in Mexico. This was the truth, and the more than 1,000 killed were the best evidence.

Things are not the focus, just skip it.The French people will not care about why the army will fail.

Despite the large number of whites in the rebels, the Mexicans are not much different from the natives in the eyes of the French, at least in Paris.

Naturally, if you lose, you will find it back. If that's the case, how will the proud French people accept it?

There is now no interference from foreign forces. After the split United States, neither the North nor the South have the strength to fight with the French. The Paris government has no reason to counsel.

Moreover, now the capital invested by the Paris government has increased a lot compared to the original time and space. How to recover the cost without suppressing the rebels.

Regardless of whether they admit it or not, Massimiliano I is now a spokesperson for their interests in Mexico, and their interests will be greatly affected if the emperor falls.

The economic crisis is not over, and there is not much fat in the world like Mexico.Not to mention, the customs and minerals mortgaged to them alone are worth the French.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The head of intelligence, Tyron, replied calmly.

Just to reveal a message, there is no difficulty at all.French newspapers are not as obedient as Austrian newspapers. As a beacon of the free world, freedom of speech has always been the insistence of the French people.

The book inspection system can be implemented in Austria, which is what everyone is used to.

France is different. These binding systems have long since disappeared. Napoleon III has no confidence in enacting such a law and implementing it.

Without restrictions on speech, such news cannot be kept secret.What happened in Mexico was reported back to Paris to be published in the newspaper. This is very natural.

A Paris newspaper office can make news without news. Why not publish news?

It is always the responsibility of journalists to deliver such genuine news.There are many such responsible people in Paris, and they will fulfill this glorious mission.

...

Paris in the early morning is the best time of the day.This is the only time when you can breathe fresh air. After a while, the factory starts to operate, and the thick black smoke rises, and the feeling is not so beautiful.

Of course, compared to London, the weather in Paris is good every day.Happiness depends on contrast. After the bottom of London, the people of Paris don't think there is any problem.

In the winter of 1868, the weather in Paris was exceptionally better, presumably this was the only benefit the economic crisis brought to people.

A large number of factories closed down and the source of pollution was cut off.The sky became bluer and the air became cleaner.

Unfortunately, these changes failed to attract Paklen's attention.As a member of the unemployed army, Parkron ’s only goal now is to find a job, and other issues are not worth mentioning.

Now he is going to receive unemployment benefits. Although the money is not much, it is enough to make him eat brown bread without worrying about hunger.

Do you think it is very advanced, there was unemployment assistance in the 19th century.This is one of the achievements of Napoleon III. Not only unemployment benefits, but also pensions have appeared.

It is not surprising to think about another title of Napoleon III-"Emperor of Socialism".

Thanks to these good policies, even in the economic crisis, the reputation of Napoleon III has not diminished.

This period was also the best time for French workers. After Napoleon III passed, they did not have such treatment throughout the 19th century. It was only after the rise of the Soviet Union that they enjoyed this series of benefits again.

Soon Parkron was attracted and quickly stepped forward to ask an acquaintance: "What's the matter, Cross?"

Cross whispered and complained: "Parkron, did you know? Our army was defeated by a band of indigenous bandits in Mexico. It is said that more than a thousand people died and several thousand were injured.

God, tens of thousands of French troops could not beat even a bunch of indigenous bandits.Did they go to milk the day before and consumed all their strength on the woman?

These damn bastards lost France's face.If this news spreads, the status of our world's number one army power will be lost.

It's awful ... "

The following content, Parkron has been unable to listen.I grabbed the newspaper with one hand and read it seriously.

Forgiving knowledge is not enough, he does not know many of the words above, but he still knows the most important casualties and defeats.

Then, the whole person Shen Qin in the news of the defeat of the French army, tens of thousands of French troops actually could not win a bunch of natives.Talking to myself:

"This is impossible!"

"How can we fail?"

...

News, if not exaggerated, how can it attract everyone's attention?

After the artistic processing of the newspaper editors, it has finally become a tens of thousands of French troops suffered a massive defeat in Mexico and suffered heavy casualties.

In fact, less than 10,000 French troops participated in the war.If there were tens of thousands of French troops, it would be impossible for the Mexican rebels to win.

The absolute strength gap cannot be changed by some small calculations.The command of Massimiliano I was only valid for the Mexican government army, and the French army did not care about the order of the Mexican emperor.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the Paris government hurried out to refute the rumors.But it is useless. The defeat of the French army is always a fact. The reason is that the French people are not concerned.

In short, the French people were angry.There is no accident, the people of Paris have started the most meaningful activity-the parade.

You can march when you are happy, you can march when you are angry, you can go to march when you are empty and lonely, you can march when you are dissatisfied with the government, and there is no problem in France.

Now is the time of the economic crisis, many people are idle to do nothing, which makes the scale of the parade much larger, but it has spread to the whole country since Paris.

As things got bigger and bigger, the news of the French army's defeat in Mexico was spread through Europe through the newspaper.

At this time, the Paris government could not help but shrink back. If you don't retaliate back quickly, the Mexican rebels would step on their shoulders and become famous.

Now that the French army has not defeated the reputation established by the Russians and lost to the Mexican rebels, everyone will not think it is an accident. All countries will only contribute to the fact that the army's combat effectiveness is not good.

This is undoubtedly disastrous for the French government.The fact that countries do not recognize their strength means that they will be at a disadvantage in the fight for international interests.

With the decline of the Russian empire, the French hurriedly put themselves on the hats of the world's first army power. Didn't they know how to make a big move?

Obviously, Napoleon III will not be so superficial, just a nickname, it is not worthy of them so unappealing.

There are still a lot of interests behind the false name, which is why the French are eager to grab the class and seize power. They want to take over the position of the European overlord left by the Russians.

The cake is so big. When the European countries divide the cake, they rely on strength. The stronger the strength, the greater the share.

It ’s OK for the weak countries to look around, it has nothing to do with them.If you are unlucky, it will turn into a cake on the table.

Including the current battle for the Spanish throne, France can veto so many candidates, relying on its own powerful strength.

If at this time, the outside world thinks that their strength is not good, then maybe Spain will have another anti-French king.

At least both Britain and Austria want to support an anti-French king, and this will happen once France's strength can't hold up.

The most convincing way to prove one's own strength is war.Wherever you fall, you have to get up where you are.

The stability of France's future rear will depend on their next performance.Now France's face is so valuable, it's still just a city.
