Holy Roman Empire

The hearts of the people are complicated. On the bright side, President Huárez overwhelmed the opposition forces, but secretly the situation in Mexico City is choppy.

After the shooting, the blockade against the Austrian embassy was lifted.It was originally prohibited from entering materials, but now it has become the initiative of the Mexican government to send materials to the door.

No way, President Huárez is really afraid.The Austrian soldiers came out and wobbled around for a while, causing so much trouble. If they were to get out every day, they would not know how much trouble there was.

If a few more die, even if the shooting has nothing to do with them, then the Republican government will not be able to run away.The overbearing powers of the great powers, Huárez has already learned.

Ten years ago, the Mexican government was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Huárez announced that it would suspend payment of foreign debt for two years in preparation for bargaining with creditors.

It turned out to be a social beating, and the Mexican Republican government became the regime under power. Ten years later, he returned to Mexico City.

There can be several decades in life, and without this lost decade, perhaps Juárez ’s social reforms have been successful.

Only after I lost it did I know how to cherish it.After experiencing it for yourself, I realized the fear.

In addition to the second-year youngsters in the Republican government, there is no fear of powers.Huárez does not admit that the debt left by Massimiliano I is actually not a good repayment.

In order to appease the radicals, they have been tweeting that "after the situation is stable, they will not repay their debts". In fact, they are not shouting slogans.

The French worry that the collapse of Massimiliano I will cause these debts to collapse.In fact, the republican government headed by President Huárez has already counseled, and he dare not dare to blame him.

The so-called toughness is just shouting political slogans.In actual actions, it is still very honest, even if it is a patchwork, it must pay the foreign debt first.

Without sending troops to intercept, Governor Humel marched very quickly and arrived in Mexico City in less than a week.

President Huárez ’s response measures were not ineffective.Austria is face-saving. No war broke out, and the army led by Governor Humel did not have an excuse to attack the city, and camped directly outside the city.

The handling of the "shooting case" was stopped at the judicial level. Ministers from all countries were witnesses, waiting for the Mexican government to provide evidence to close the case.

Everything is developing in a good direction. At this time, the dinner prepared by the Compton Minister is staged.Hundreds of "Austrian citizens" ran to protest and prepared evidence.

There is no doubt that these are the families of soldiers, or groups of friends and relatives.The week before the Republicans entered the city, their property suffered severe losses and even people were killed.

Under normal circumstances, these small people have no choice but to accept.This time it was different. With the Compton Minister secretly planning, their courage suddenly became bigger.

Extraterritoriality makes them fearless.How foreign citizens treat the Mexican government, they also follow suit.

The Minister of Compton, who had just had a lot of talks, immediately changed his face and yelled: "Your Excellency, the military of your country ignores international law and acts recklessly, which harms the personal and property safety of Austrian citizens. You issued an official diplomatic note.

Order your government to surrender the responsible person within 24 hours, accept the sanctions of the law, and compensate the losses of our citizens!"

This excuse is still far-fetched, and everyone knows what is going on.But the following people did get Austrian citizenship.

From a legal point of view, as long as these people become Austrian citizens before the Mexican Republican Army action, they will be protected by Austria.

There is no doubt that this time is definitely before this.It is impossible for the Compton Minister to make such a mistake. The documents issued can prove that they were naturalized before the Republican Army entered the city.

Regardless of whether it complies with the procedures, it is Austria's internal affair, and no outsiders can intervene.

President Huárez's complexion has changed greatly, and other issues can be easily said."Handing over the person in charge" is impossible.If the people are handed over, the army must be mutable.

Moreover, even if they committed crimes, they should also be dealt with by Mexican law. How can the Austrians be tried?

Counting on the mediation between Britain and France, it is regrettable that the British and French ministers saw the evidence provided by the Austrians and began to wander the world.

It's not that they don't want to help, the key is the evidence.The Austrians have written documents proving that these are Austrian citizens, as well as photographs taken by photographers of the atrocities of the Mexican Republican Army.

The three countries of Britain, France and Austria are nominally allies, and they cannot support the Mexican Republican government under the circumstances of Austrian occupation.

President Huárez knew that the Austrians were in trouble at this time, and that these conditions were made to deliberately make them difficult, and it was definitely not just for these “citizens”.

It is difficult to solve the problem without knowing the real purpose of the Austrians.By this time, the Austrian army had already arrived, and it was too late to resist.

The only thing that gratified him was that the Austrians were still considering international influence. Without direct action regardless of it, it proved that there was room for manoeuvre.

The powers of this era have a common feature. When reasoning cannot reach their goals, they will choose to speak with cannons.

The role as a bridge between the two parties fell on the British Minister Edward.They are the best at such things. In this era, more than half of the international conflicts in the world have not lost the shadow of the British.

...

That evening, the British Minister Edward appeared in the Austrian Embassy.

After letting go of his coffee, Edward asked elegantly: "Your Excellency Compton, your country's actions in Mexico, the London government is also paying close attention.

We are allies, so if you need help, you are welcome.But what exactly do you want to achieve?"

British "help" is more appropriate than warning, rather than help.When expanding overseas, Austria was not prepared to borrow British manpower. Franz was afraid that he would not be able to afford it.

The hidden meaning, the Compton ambassador naturally understood.Emphasizing "allies" is nothing more than saying that the interests of Britain cannot be damaged.Putting up "help" is nothing more than warning against doing too much.

Picking up the coffee on the table, the Compton envoy took a small sip and said unhurriedly: "The evil republican thought must be contained.

If you do n’t give Mexicans a lesson, would n’t it make the republican idea more rampant?If it spreads to the European continent, I'm afraid everyone will feel uncomfortable."

This explanation obviously cannot satisfy Edward. When did the Vienna government have such an international spirit?

You know that since Franz took office, he first indulged the Russian Empire and then became a French. It does not look like a responsible European power.

The Austrians believed in republicanism.As the backbone of the monarchy, the Austrian Emperor's power is not weaker than that of the Tsar.

It's just that the Austrian reform was early and the social reforms have been completed. These developments are very good and the society is very stable.

On the issue of combating republican ideology, the position of the monarchy is the same. This is a dispute over the right of discourse in the ideological circle, and no one will give up easily.

Edward asked uncertainly: "Your Excellency Compton, in this way, is your country preparing to restore Massimiliano I?"

In terms of interests, it is not in Austria's interest to do so, and it will cost too much to pay for the restoration of Massimiliano I.

However, in a country with a powerful imperial power such as Austria, it is often not possible to look at the interests alone. The will of the emperor can also determine the direction of the country.

Although Massimiliano I was not capable, but he was Franz ’s younger brother, and it was possible for Franz to invest his blood on this basis.

A similar situation has not only happened once or twice in European history.Edward is not sure if this will happen in Austria. After all, Franz ’s image to the outside world is too perfect.

Compton Minister shook his head and replied: "If you can support the restoration of His Majesty Massimiliano I, then naturally it is best.

However, because of some special problems, the major forces in Mexico are not very welcome to this majesty.

Our conditions are very simple. The Mexican government has three options: First, continue to support Massimiliano I as emperor, then these minor issues need not be mentioned, and the constitutional monarchy can be accepted;

Second, make up for the loss of Austrian citizens, and bear the cost of sending troops, a total of 12 million Aegis.If there is no money, then cedes Chiapas, Tabasco, Oaxaca, Veracruz, and Yucatan Peninsula to debt."

Needless to say, the third way, Edward also knows.The most common method used by everyone is to resolve the issue by force without negotiation.If the Mexican government thinks it can win, it can try to solve it by force.

Edward thought for a while and said: "Your country's appetite is still so good, but this kind of condition, can Mexicans afford it?"

Obviously, Edward does n’t want to see Austria ’s unbridled expansion in Mexico. If it is not restricted, sooner or later it will devour the whole of Mexico.

Compton smiled slightly and defended: "It can't be said that, as long as the Mexican government allows the restoration of Massimiliano I, there will be no cost.

If they are patriotic enough, they should accept our goodwill.You know that His Majesty Massimiliano I was kind, and he would not be held accountable for their conspiracy to rebel."

Edward rolled his eyes directly and accepted the restoration of Massimiliano I. How could things be so simple.

The constitutional, conservative, and Catholic groups are okay. It does n’t matter if there is an empty emperor, but for the Republicans, that is the disaster.

It is equivalent to denying their legitimacy from beginning to end, and the political impact can make President Huárez get out.

The option that seems to pay the least price is actually the least acceptable option for the Republican government.This condition is put forward, whether the Mexicans accept it or not, the Mexican government will split.

The conditions put forward by Compton Minister Envoy were made solely for the purpose of intensifying conflicts within the Mexican government.

Other political power groups will use this as an excuse to attack the Republican government for their own self-interest and disregard national interests.

No matter what choice President Huárez makes, there will be a lot of trouble.Such an obvious aim, if there is no relationship with the Habsburg family, then there is a ghost.

Massimiliano I is now a lonely man, and even if he is restored again, it is just a rubber stamp emperor. There will be no bird at all, and he will not bring any benefits to Austria.This condition of no value is clearly directed towards the republican government.

Edward said nothing more. President Huárez led the rebels to overthrow the reign of Massimiliano I and beat the Habsburgs.

Now that someone is going to retaliate, it should be his luck.At this level, Edward does not want to join in.

Deep down, he had begun to mourn for President Huárez.Who made him unlucky and caught up with the heyday of the Habsburg dynasty.
