Holy Roman Empire

After preparing to stop losses, the French government immediately compiled a list of assets and distributed them to European countries to find potential customers.

The focus is naturally on Britain and Austria, and other countries simply do not have the strength to eat the Mexican Empire.The military strength of the two countries may be sufficient, but they have no money in their pockets and are not good buyers.

Vienna, since the French prepared to sell assets in Mexico, the Austrian government also conducted an in-depth analysis.

The result is naturally self-evident, properly inferior assets.Don't look at the French getting a series of privileges, almost monopolizing the mineral resources of Mexico, the problem is that these assets are difficult to realize.

To turn these real estate assets into real assets, we must first help the Mexican government stabilize the situation.If the civil war does not stop all day, these minerals are worthless.

The local people have no purchasing power, and commercial privileges are also tasteless.Can't you contribute money to help the Mexican people get rich and get well off?

This is not the 21st century, and the current resources are not valuable at all.In this era, the most valuable thing in the Mexican empire was the silver mine. However, the silver that was mined was first used to repay the French debt.

That's right, the French are now crying for tears, but the investment required is too large and the benefits that can be obtained are uncertain.

To put it bluntly, the money you can get is your own money.The illusory future gains are portrayed in a beautiful way, as long as they don't get it, they are all nonsense.

Everyone understands that the bottom line of the French is falling again and again.From the initial loan back, sell three melons and two dates, and now you can get the principal back.

If it is not possible, it can be discussed again, and the investment can be recovered by 30%, which is estimated to be acceptable by Napoleon III.

This is not because Napoleon III has a low bottom line, mainly because he lost faith in Massimiliano I.Long-term slamming of money in a bottomless hole, even the rich French can't stand it.

Once the Massimiliano regime collapsed, their investment was completely lost.The Mexican Republicans were overthrown only because of bad debts, and it is too low to expect them to continue to perform.

Unfortunately, it may be that the French are so prestigious in Europe that they can't eat meat that everyone dare not touch.

Although the Paris government has repeatedly lowered the conditions, these loans do not need to be paid immediately by the receiver, as long as they guarantee the Mexican government's performance, and they even give commissions.

Simply put, the French get most of the loan principal, and the rest of the interest and the benefits of various privileges are all returned to Panxia.

The result is still the same, no one is willing to take the offer.In case the Mexican government fails to meet its debts, it is the turn of the pick-up man to pay.

Facts have proved that all countries have a bottom line, and if they do not want to lose their credibility, no one is willing to give this guarantee to the French.

In fact, there are many people who are interested in Mexico, but most of them just want to grab a deal and simply do not want to make large-scale investments.

For example, the Spanish have always wanted to re-establish Mexico as a colony.After the outbreak of the American Civil War, they also took practical action, and as a result, they were squeezed out by the French.

Now because of the battle for the throne, a civil war broke out in Spain.There is also a credit for the French. If Napoleon III threatened with force and vetoed the candidate nominated by the military, things would not happen this time.

Civil wars have fought, and naturally it is impossible to expand into Mexico.Now the Spanish overseas colonies are still worried, fearing that they will be swallowed.

Another example is the British. They are also expanding in Mexico, but they have not invested enough and have not competed with the French.

Not willing to invest in those years, let alone now.There were too many British colonies, and their own businesses could not be managed. It was difficult for the Mexican Empire to raise their interest.

The Kingdom of Prussia also expressed interest in Mexico.Regrettably, they had no money in their pockets and could not get the initial investment to suppress the Mexican rebellion.

Such a poor ghost is naturally not a quality customer.It is estimated that it was given to Prussia for free, and none of them had the money to send troops to interfere in the Mexican civil war.

In order to stop losses, the French government has secretly contacted the Republicans.As long as Huárezken continues to implement the treaty that Massimiliano signed with them, it is not impossible for them to negotiate.

...

Late at night, the headquarters of the Mexican Uprising Army were brightly lit, and Huárez was still holding a military meeting to discuss the next battle plan.

Repeated defeats and repeated battles are used to describe the Mexican uprising.From the start of the uprising by Huárez, to the present, the uprising army has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, and basically ended in failure.

Thanks to the reform policy of Massimiliano I, however, the rebel army did not dissipate as a result, but gradually grew stronger in failure.

War is the best teacher. From the beginning, he fought hard with the French, and now he has launched guerrilla wars everywhere. The rebels have grown a lot.

Although they still can't win the French, they haven't fallen off against the Mexican government army.Without the support of the French, Massimiliano I was overthrown long ago.

Foreign Minister Hadlow said: "His President, the Americans have heard the news, the position of the Paris government has changed, they are ready to sell the privileges obtained from the tyrant."

The Mexican Uprising also had a government. They did not recognize the legitimacy of the government of Massimiliano I. In addition, a republican government was formed, which can also be said to continue the previous republican government.

After receiving the gold sponsorship, the situation of the uprising army improved, and the government of the Caotai team has gradually improved, and it is now complete.

The leaders were almost all political prisoners Massimilino I pardoned, which is a bit embarrassing.

In the interim government, there are also internal contradictions. In order to prove that they did not collude with Massimiliano I, these people gave Massimiliano I the title of tyrant.

Frankly speaking, this hat is too wrong.Massimiliano I was at most a faint monarch, absolutely unrelated to the tyrant.

This is the point, everyone is a Republican, and no one will defend him.Since it is an enemy, the darker the better.

Huárez said happily: "It seems that the French can't stand it anymore, and the victory of the revolution is not far away."

Hearing this good news, everyone was overjoyed.After all, it is enemies against France, this pressure is still very large.

France in this era is in full swing, and its influence in Mexico is even more extraordinary. If it is not because the interests are seriously damaged, many of them will not participate in this revolution.

Even after joining the uprising army, many people are sceptical about whether they can win.In order to drive away the French, they have waged many decisive battles, and the outcome of each major decisive battle ended in failure.

The shadow of failure has always shrouded the hearts of everyone. Everyone knows that the French have invested less than one-tenth of their power in Mexico, or even one-twentieth.

With such a little input, they were so overwhelmed that everyone was naturally overwhelmed by the French.At this time, I heard that the French are about to give up, and everyone is naturally very happy.

A middle-aged military officer asked with concern: "Did anyone take over?"

The French withdrew, and if someone replaced them, it would be their new enemy.If you just finished the front door to refuse the wolf, and suddenly found that the back door entered the tiger, it would be a tragedy.

"Driving wolves and chasing tigers" sounds great, but it would be uncomfortable if it was operated.The rebel army has limited strength and cannot accomplish such a great task.

The most worrying thing is Austria, the emperor comes from the Habsburg family.If France ’s military intervention is changed from Austria to Austria, cooperation between the two sides will surely be even closer.

The next door is the Austrian Central American colony. It is too easy for the Vienna government to intervene in the internal affairs of Mexico.

Foreign Minister Hadlow replied enthusiastically: "The French have all failed. How could someone take over?"

Everyone's nervous expression eased over, and if no outside forces intervened to overthrow Massimiliano I's rule, everyone was still confident.

After a pause, Hadlow continued: "His Excellency, how about we first agree to the conditions of the French and wait until after expelling Massimiliano I?

Contacts with the French were conducted in secret, but here are all high-level, it is naturally clear that the rebels and the French are secretly connected.

This is not surprising. The French are too powerful. Everyone is not sure of the victory, and they are ready to compromise with the French while arming the uprising.

If there is no discussion, it is because the gap between the two sides is too great.But this line is still preserved, and it is a backtrack.

"Playing with the French", as soon as Hadlow's suggestion came out, everyone's face changed greatly.

Finally, waiting for the French to persevere, they may be preparing to withdraw their troops. At this time, they will stimulate the French. Who knows whether the French will be annoyed?

Huárez shook his head and said, "No, France is a big country. Even if they fail here, they still will not affect their strength. If they offend, we will never have peace in the future."

This is not that Huárez is head-to-head, but he really has no strength in his hands, and he is not arrogant to speak or do things.Even if the French give up Mexico, they can also cause them a lot of trouble.

Hadlow reluctantly argued: "Your Excellency, the French and our secret contact are strictly confidential.

Even if it was a deal with us, the Paris government did not dare to sign a paper treaty with us.Otherwise, the news of the betrayal of Maximilian I was exposed, and Napoleon III could not bear the political impact.

Only by oral agreement, even if we breached the contract, the French could not come up with something to talk about.

As for the issue of retaliation, can we have a good relationship with the French at this stage?

Unless we continue to implement the treaty signed by Massimiliano I, there is no possibility of relaxation at all."

Huárez fell into hesitation and wanted to win a revolutionary victory in the shortest possible time, then the Frenchman is the best choice.

Do n’t say that there is no treaty, even if there is a treaty, you can pay it off.But the French's revenge was uncomfortable, and Huárez did not dare to underestimate the French's strength.

That debt default was a profound lesson.In addition to the government's financial collapse and inability to pay, there is also the Mexican government's belief that European countries will not go to great lengths for such a small amount of money. As a result, the three countries have intervened, and the French have no choice but to leave here.

After so many years of civil war, the economic losses brought to Mexico are not known how many times it is debt.

Even if no one accused him of this matter, Huárez knew very well that he was responsible for this issue.After one lesson, naturally became more cautious.

Huárez asked, "What about other people's opinions?"

Finance Minister Anderson first responded: "I think it is worth a try. Not long ago the French annexed Italy and was busy digesting the results.

In a short period of time, they should shrink strategically.This is a national policy issue, and the Paris government cannot change for us.

This time may last more than ten years.This is our opportunity. As long as we complete the internal reforms during this time and the country becomes stronger, we are not afraid of the French revenge."

Army Secretary Growe echoed: "At this point, I still care about what the French do? Anyway, they are all enemies. It's okay to offend some more.

As long as we can overthrow the decadent tyrant regime at an early date, we can build a powerful Mexican republic without worrying about the revenge of the French."

...

Everyone is an optimist, thinking that as long as Massimiliano I ’s rule is overthrown, Mexico can become stronger immediately.
