Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 515
After confirming the safety of Massimilino, in order not to leave moths, Franz ordered the house arrest for the first time.
No way, he is really not at ease with his unreliable brother.There is a saying that will not die without death.
Do n’t think that it ’s safe now. People who want the life of Massimiliano can hold hands around Mexico City a few times.
Fortunately, in the Austrian military camp, they are all themselves, and no one wants his life.If you go out to slosh, black guns and bomb throwers, there will definitely not be a minority.
Of course, not letting him interfere with the negotiations is also an important factor.This is also a good bargaining chip for negotiations with the Republican government, which can be used to fool around.
As long as Massimiliano I did not declare his abdication, it was the legal emperor of Mexico, and the treaty signed with him also had legal effects.
...
Inside the Austrian Embassy in Mexico City.
The Compton Minister threatened: "Your Excellency, this is already our bottom line. Now for every day of delay, your country will need to pay an extra 100,000 Aegis of military expenses, and it is not good for you to continue to delay.
President Huárez was very disturbed in his heart, still unmoved in the face, and just kept himself calm.
"Your Excellency, your country has too much appetite, and we have compensated the victims for the loss. Now we will pay up to one million more Aegis military expenses, which is already our limit of tolerance."
It is the most compelling option to cede the land to compensate the compensation.After being annexed by the Americans to several northern states, Mexico's importance to the territory suddenly increased.
Huárez is very clear that the Austrians are blackmailing, the more intimidating the more powerful, the more able to show that Austria is not prepared to destroy Mexico.
From a strategic point of view, Mexico is also an important force to contain Americans. Even the United States, which is divided into two, should not be underestimated.
Only a stable Mexico can stop American expansion, which is in Austria's interest.
Obviously, President Huárez overestimated the role of Mexico and Russia.Franz never believed that Mexico could accomplish the task of balancing Americans. Now the stability of North America, in addition to the mutual restraint of the United States of America and the Union, is still the result of power suppression.
This is a lesson in history. The guys who tried to use Mexico to check and balance the United States, were all left crying without tears.
The gap between the two sides is entirely qualitative. Compared to the fertile land of the United States and the Union, Mexico can be considered a terrible land.
Of course, this is not a big deal.Americans are uniquely gifted, and compared with their fertile land, resources, and climatic conditions, more than 80% of the world's land can only be considered bad land.
Although Mexico is mountainous, its mineral resources are still abundant, and its agricultural resources are not bad. If it develops well, a medium-sized country still has little problem.
It is a pity that when meeting Americans, it is not only the gap in the number of people, but also the gap in population quality.Although this era, whether it is the United States or the Union, is mostly semi-illiterate, it is also stronger than the tribal civilization of Mexico.
This is not an exaggerated statement. Mexico has a large part of its population still living in tribes, which is similar to the Austrian Central American colonies.
However, Mexico is even more miserable. Austrian Central American colonies have Austrian support behind them, relying on the sale of agricultural products and industrial raw materials. The local economy is developing well.
Who will support Mexico now?It can be said that as long as President Huárez leads the lunch, the Mexican civil war will break out.
It is more serious than the original time and space. The United States of America and the United States of America are incompatible. They both support political forces in Mexico, and the gold masters who want to compromise behind the scenes do not agree.
This has not yet considered what role the three parliaments in Britain, France and Austria play.If you want a stable Mexico, the problem is that there are no political forces in Mexico.
Including Huárez, neither is a qualified leader.Prestige is only based on his adherence to anti-imperialism, and the establishment of a republican government, which does not substantially contribute to the country.
Although social reforms were carried out, the reforms ended in failure.Compared with Massimiliano I, it is nothing more than his reforms to be moderated, and he knows how to compromise with interest groups.
Without sufficient convincing achievements, this is the fundamental reason for Mexico's political instability.Many people oppose the republican government, not because of ambition or interest, but simply because they do not have the ability to govern.
There is nothing wrong with this judgment. If you have the ability to govern, there will be no civil war in Mexico.
It is important to know that after the overthrow of the rule of Massimiliano I, Mexico did not immediately have a full-scale civil war. The Republican government led by President Huárez still persisted for some time.
If you have a mature ruling team, you have a chance to survive the crisis, not the chaos that lasted for hundreds of years.
Compton smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I believe in your country's ability to bear. Even if you don't agree, it doesn't matter, we can do it ourselves.
Only in this way, everyone's face is not good-looking, and your country will have to pay more."
This is not a threat, but action has already begun.It was not the Mexican government that led the attack, but the group of rising planters and promising young people who wanted to become planters.
Austrian Central America is not as good as the United States. The local fertile land is limited, and the number of plantations that can be developed can no longer meet everyone's needs.
Expansion became the only option. There were only two neighbors, either Colombia or Mexico.This two-for-one question was unfortunately selected for Mexico.
If you open the history book, you will find that Mexico is actually very lavish.When they first became independent from Spain, they were still one of the largest countries in the world.
It's just that luck ends here. First, the Central American region became independent, and then it was bitten off by the United States by 2.3 million square kilometers. The empire dream is over.
Everyone knows that it is very difficult to get the land at the negotiating table. Almost all the expansion was carried out by the army, which caused the established facts.
This time is no exception. Minister Compton is negotiating here, and Governor Humel is not idle.There was only one division outside of Mexico City, and the rest of the troops went out to protect the logistics and were engaged in an expansion war.
The battle has just begun, Mexico's communications are blocked, and the telegram is not popularized, so President Huárez cannot naturally receive the news in advance.
The furious President Huárez snapped the table suddenly, stood up and scolded loudly: "You are aggression, this shameless ..."
Before the voice fell, he suddenly fell.The Compton ambassador's complexion instantly became somber, and the facial expressions of the people involved in the negotiations also became wonderful, with different tensions, surprises, and misfortunes.
Compton did not care about the life and death of President Huárez, the problem was that he could not die in the Austrian embassy, otherwise it would be very detrimental to the subsequent negotiations.
"Guard, call Dr. Rael, speed!"
Without any hesitation, Compton Minister immediately ordered rescue.The government of Vienna has a face, if Huárez died here, who knows what will happen outside.
The guys present were not bad without adding oil and vinegar. Compton did not think they would say a fair word.
Perhaps in the memoirs of a certain guy, it will also be recorded: President Huárez argued reasonably in negotiations with Austria and was brutally killed.
Soon a middle-aged man in a white coat entered the conference room and immediately rescued President Huárez.
The Compton envoy restrained his emotions and said, "Mr. Kurd, President Huárez's life crisis, there are not enough medical staff in the embassy, please send someone over!"
Huárez is the leader of the Republican Party. If he hangs up at this time, the Republican Party will be headless. Kurdish is no easier than Compton.
"No problem, I will arrange it immediately."
Kurd had just finished speaking, and someone from the Mexican delegation jumped out and scolded: "You poisoned President Huárez, do you still want to shirk responsibility?"
Compton and Kurd looked at the murderous eyes at the same time, and Huárez had not yet died, so he jumped out in a hurry.
Although for this negotiation, when President Huárez died at this time, it is most beneficial for Mexico to buckle the shit pot on the Austrians, which is not acceptable to Kurd.
Ignoring the clamor of the middle-aged man, Kurd continued to go out to find someone.The relationship is significant. The Mexican government wants President Huárez to die. There are definitely more than one or two. He can't worry about being fat.
Compton Minister sarcastically said, "Guard, take this madman down. If President Huárez has an accident, he is the biggest suspect."
The poison killing negotiator dared to buckle this hat on Austria, and Compton had already sentenced this blind man to death in his heart.
Even if you want to make a rumor, you have to go out and secretly proceed. Is such a big shout that you think you die not fast enough?
The great powers of this era were not easy to mess with. Today is just the wrong place. If you kill someone on another occasion, then it will not matter.
Soon the bad news came. President Huárez, who had been running out of light, had reached the end of his life.
On January 21, 1872, President Huárez was violently stimulated and died in the Austrian embassy, which was half a year earlier than the original time and space.
It may also be understood that, after all, the situation he is facing is much worse than the original time and space.After a few more years of civil war, Austria has also hit the door.
After experiencing so many things, the body can't stand it, and this can't get up.
Even more tragic is that, because of physical reasons, in order to have the energy to deal with government affairs, President Huárez strongly supports himself by taking drugs.
This autopsy result made the Compton ambassador cry without tears.The doctor on the Mexican side bite it and it was poisoned.
The medical staff sent by the British and French countries also reached the same conclusion, but they still notarized once and wrote in the conclusion: long-term use of drugs leads to death.
After such a big incident, the Compton ambassador couldn't help himself, and immediately sent someone to the Vienna government to send a letter.
No way, Mexico does not have a direct telegram to Austria, and can only go to Austria and Central America to deliver the message.To be precise, the transfer should be more appropriate.
The message from the Americas to Vienna still needs to be transferred to multiple links, and the cable telegram is so troublesome.
