Holy Roman Empire

At the Vienna Palace, looking at the telegram in his hand, Franz didn't know what to say.Described as "people lying at home, the pot comes from the sky", it seems that there is some play.

This time, Austria has made it out.If the place of negotiation is not in the Austrian embassy, ​​no matter how President Huárez died, it has nothing to do with Austria.

Throw the responsibility to the Compton Minister?This is also wrong, others are doing their due diligence.Putting the place of negotiation in the Austrian embassy is also to gain an advantage in the negotiation and strive for greater interests for Austria.

The death of President Huárez was just an accident. The Compton Minister had no responsibility and no responsibility for this matter.

Now a black pot is falling from the sky, no matter how it is explained, some people will accuse: Austrian poisoning of President Huárez; or: Massimilino I in order to avenge the poisoned hand.

In fact, from the beginning to the end Franz was not prepared to kill President Huárez.His existence is not a threat to Austria, and the value of keeping him is greater than killing him.

Not to mention Massimiliano I, if he had the ability to assassinate President Huárez in the negotiations, he would not fall into the present field.

Prime Minister Felix suggested: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing happened, we should withdraw our troops from Mexico. At this time, we should be accountable to them again, and it would be morally unreasonable."

Franz nodded, no matter how good the previous reason was, now that Mexico has died a president in the Austrian embassy, ​​he can explain it.

If we continue to be aggressive, Austria's international image will be over.This is inconsistent with the long-term management philosophy of the Vienna government. Even the shameless British can't do such a thing.

"Order Governor Humel to withdraw his troops. By the way, even the embassy and the expatriates will be withdrawn. Mexico will soon be in chaos. We will not go to the muddy water."

The process is not important, and the ultimate goal has been achieved.Huárez died suddenly, and the Republicans were fighting for the position of successor.

Huárez was the president more than a decade ago, and his term ended long ago. Everyone in the middle of the past decade was fighting guerrilla, and naturally it was impossible to conduct elections.

Since the overthrow of Massimiliano I, the Mexican election is in preparation.If President Huárez does not die, then he is very likely to be re-elected.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as reality. Without Huárez, there is no second politician in Mexico who can hold the court.

The central government lacks prestige, internal contradictions cannot be suppressed, and international forces continue to stir up. It is difficult for the civil war to break out.

Perhaps in the near future, the North and South Songs of the United States will also debut in Mexico.Both the Union and the United States want to support a pro-Mexican government and increase its influence in North America.

The three countries of Britain, France, Austria, and France are not lords of loneliness.The French are right in their strategic contraction. As Mexican creditors, they want to be low-key, and reality is not allowed!

Both Britain and Austria are too busy to have problems.I do n’t know why, during the overseas colonial expansion, Austria was very seriously affected by John Bull, and the skill of doing things became more and more skillful.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg analyzed: "Your Majesty, it is enough to give up Mexico City. We have already occupied several states in southern Mexico, so we can slow down first.

The Austrian Central American colony has always had territorial disputes with Mexico. These issues need to be resolved slowly through negotiations. We can wait for Mexico to elect a new government before discussing it."

In the death of President Huárez, Austria must make a gesture to the outside world. Withdrawing from Mexico has become inevitable, but how to withdraw will test the technology.

If the laborers move the crowd, they can't do anything in vain, at least they have to recover the cost of sending troops.Delay for a while and wait for the outbreak of the civil war in Mexico, resulting in the established facts of occupying southern territories.

Anyway, as long as Mexico does not elect a government recognized by Austria, it can continue to dominate.It doesn't take long, it only takes three to five years to be swallowed.

This is a practical need. Planters in the Austrian Central American region have long wanted to expand, and now they need to appease their emotions.

The Vienna government needs them to maintain a certain strength, which can prevent Americans from reaching out to Central America.As long as Austria still occupies the Central American region for a day, the Panama Canal should not want to start construction.

After a little thought, Franz made the decision: "Don't take the government occupation, Austria has never invaded Mexico.

The people in southern Mexico are just a group of civilians who are not willing to accept the rule of the Mexican government. The Mexican government is incompetent, and even its own people can't control it. We can only express regret."

Once the bottom line was lowered, Franz was not afraid to act silly.Anyway, as long as Austria does not occupy the territory of Mexico, the international community cannot say anything.

If the Mexican government is capable, it can also send troops to recover these areas.Of course, it must be a one-time success, and the mob will expand if it fails.If you fail once and lose a few more states, you can only blame them for their incompetence.

After three or five years, the storm of this incident passed and these areas joined the Austrian Central American colony.

This is the rule of the game. When it is hypocritical, it must be hypocritical.As long as the substantive benefits are in hand, it's okay to have a little more play.

Most of the income from this expansion is owned by the Austrian Central American plantation owners.Now that the profits have been taken, it has to pay a price, and the responsibility of ruling the locality falls on their shoulders.

Mexico is not easy to rule. The French didn't swallow them. Franz didn't think Austria could swallow them at once.

Now that Franz has decided to delegate power, the colonists in the Austrian Central American region can eat as much land as they have.To what extent they can expand depends on their own strength, and the consequences of expansion failure are also borne by themselves.

...

In Mexico City, the death of President Huárez has been a storm in the city.Under the organization of good intentions, the crowds of demonstrations have already surrounded the Austrian embassy.

The tolerance of the deceased is higher than that of the living. President Huárez was still under criticism before he died. Now that he is so dead, the image becomes taller at once, as if he became a saint overnight.

In the embassy, ​​the Compton minister had been fidgeting for a long time, and the crowd demonstrating outside bombed incessantly for 24 hours.The slogan shouted, and a dog was shaking in the embassy area.

In order to prevent the marching people from hitting the embassy area, the Compton Minister had transferred a battalion of troops from outside the city. Outside the police line had been pulled up, and Gatlin was also erected at the gate.

This is not a trivial matter. In just a few days, there have been many shocks. The dozens of dead bodies parked outside are evidence.

In this respect, Franz ordered the evacuation of the embassy wisely.Otherwise, the personal safety of the embassy staff may be difficult to guarantee.

While the Compton Minister was at a loss, a young military officer took a telegram and said in his ear: "My Excellency, this is the latest order of the Vienna government."

I took the telegram, and the date on it was five days ago.Compton didn't care about the time. He looked at the news that he ordered to evacuate from Mexico. He was speechless for a moment.

Even the embassy does not retain it. Obviously this is to give up Mexico in an all-round way.The embassy district that I have been working on for years has to be abandoned in this way, and Compton ’s envoy has all kinds of tastes.

After a short pause, Compton Minister said sharply: "Notify the Mexican government that we will evacuate and order them to disperse the crowd within three hours, otherwise all consequences will be at your own risk."

They all have to leave, and naturally no longer have to worry about anything.The great powers have never lacked hard-line means. If the Mexican government continues to be unaware of life and death, it would be a good idea to cleanse Mexico City before leaving.

Without annexing Mexico, it does not mean that Austria is afraid of their strength.Mainly because it is easy to defeat government forces, it is difficult to rule Mexico.

Mexico ’s territory has shrunk repeatedly, and it still has nearly two million square kilometers.Such a large site is mostly mountainous. If you want to clean it up again, you can't do it without hundreds of thousands of troops.

This cost has far exceeded the benefits. The French gave up Mexico because they saw this clearly and were unwilling to continue filling this hole.

It is different now, anyway, Austria will leave.Even if there was anger and anger, Compton ’s ambassador had no pressure.

How did the protesters outside come from, but he knew.The Mexican government did not dare to directly trouble Austria, so it pushed the people forward and hid behind to see the excitement.

There has been no seizure, and it is not that Compton Minister is afraid, mainly because it is unnecessary.On the surface, this is causing trouble for Austria. In fact, the biggest trouble will still be left to the Mexican government.

If you have ruling experience, the Mexican government will never do this.Public opinion is a double-edged sword. When Austria evacuated, the popular opinion was to kill the republican government.

To put it bluntly, from the moment the report of President Huárez ’s autopsy was released, it was decided that Austria ’s political blackmail failed.

The Mexican government is doing useless work from beginning to end.Even if there is no crowd protesting, the Vienna government will also abandon Mexico.

Receiving the news of Austria's withdrawal, the Mexican government had a rare and efficient return.This time all the major factions within the government have unified their opinions and quickly sent the plague away.

Aftermath broke out, and there was a violent conflict between the demonstrators and the police who came to disperse the crowd.Including demonstration groups, there is no control over the people who are in high spirits.

Three hours passed quickly, and the outside of the embassy area had become a mess.Compton just sneered as he watched the Mexican government crack down on the protesters.

Even if he wants to move, it will not be completed in a few hours, he still has time to watch the excitement.As for trouble, Compton is not worried at all. The Mexican government is still worried that they will not leave.

Anyone who dares to block the withdrawal of the Austrians is the biggest enemy of the Mexican government.The Mexican government, which lacked ruling experience, did not know that the Austrian withdrawal was just the beginning of trouble.

Withdrawals are under way on this side, while military operations are being stepped up on the other side.The suffocated colonists will not give up this rare opportunity for expansion.
