There can be no doubt that Minister Compton's conditions were not acceptable to the Mexican Republican Government. Three choices, any one they dare not choose.

If he can compromise on the issue of imperialism, why should President Juárez lead a rebellion? You know, when Massimiliano I succeeded to the throne, he pardoned political prisoners and promised him a high position.

At this time, to accept the restoration of Massimiliano I would be a complete repudiation of the revolution of the decade. This uprising was not anti-imperialist and anti-feudal, but a political seizure of power.

There is no need to think about the indemnity, if there is so much money. The republicans have already settled the opposition at home by force, so why compromise?

A war with the Austrians was also not something that the republican government could afford. Having fought against the French, President Juárez still knows what level of the war power of the armies of the great powers is.

Under normal circumstances, it is often 10,000 French troops chasing more than 100,000 rebel troops, and the picture is simply unsightly. Except in exceptional circumstances, the rebels have hardly ever achieved decent victories.

As can be seen from the data, from the beginning of the French invasion in 1861 to the withdrawal of the French army in 1871, the two sides fought hundreds of times, and the number of French casualties did not exceed 10,000.

The so-called heavy defeat of France, the rebel army defeated the French and fled, that was all political propaganda needs. In fact, it was the French who pressed them all the time.

It's just that Napoleon III's patience was exhausted, and he recognized the essence of Massimiliano I's mud that couldn't support the wall, and felt that the investment was not proportional to the gain, so he stopped the loss.

If the Mexican Republican Government had been as powerful as it had been announced, they would have failed to pay their debts a long time ago. The French can be defeated, are they still afraid of collecting debts by force?

The Russians are a typical example, after the tsarist government announced that it would default on its debts, in addition to protests and economic sanctions, did anyone in European countries propose to use force to collect debts?

It's not that the creditors are merciful, it's mainly that the pay is not proportional to the benefit. The price to be paid for the attack on the Russian Empire, I don't know how many times the debt.

Everyone is very tacit in choosing to negotiate, what to defer payment, in-kind satisfaction, debt interest reduction, etc., these means are very flexible to use.

A weak country has no diplomacy, and if it has no strength, it has no weight to speak. Now the Mexican government has to accept the political blackmail of Austria, even if they know that Compton's demands are very excessive, they still have to sit down and talk slowly.

The sky is full of prices, and the money is paid back on the ground.

President Juárez knew very well that the removal of Massimiliano I from power would inevitably make the Viennese government hostile to the Mexican government, and that it would not be possible to normalize relations between the two countries for a long time to come.

It's just that they didn't expect the Austrians to play like this. These Franz paid attention to the appearance, but still deceived many people. Suddenly, the lower limit was lowered, and Juarez naturally did not react.

You know, if these victims had known that they had become Austrian citizens, there would have been no tragedy in the future. As long as the identity of a foreign citizen is revealed, the IRA will naturally be innocent.

This is the case for British citizens, French citizens...... can all testify that the Mexican Republican Army is also a force that has always understood the rules and is absolutely kind to international friends.

President Juárez asked eagerly: "How is the contact, will they ......?"

There is another way to get out of the current predicament, and that is to get those "Austrian citizens" to change their tunes, perhaps by giving up accountability, and then there will be no reason for Austrian blackmail.

The republicans are still very experienced in this regard, so they just fool around and find some people who can speak well to do ideological work. Patriotism is a good banner for them to take into account the overall situation.

First fooled people and dizzy, and then paid to compensate for the losses, this time the republican government was generous and gave several times more money.

In any case, the money used to buy these people is much less expensive than accepting the blackmail of the Austrians.

The middle-aged man lowered his head and replied: "The situation is not optimistic, most people are hesitating, they are worried about ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, President Juárez waved his hand and said, "Okay, I got it." You're tired too, and you haven't closed your eyes all night, so go down and rest! ”

If the two countries are of equal strength, then they can make a bit of an article about this, but unfortunately the difference between Mexico and Austria is too big.

If you can't change everything, you will be doing useless work. The powers are willing to reason with you, that's interesting enough, if you want to play tricks on this, people will just change the bayonet to talk.

President Juárez had no hope that this little trick would succeed. No matter how nice they say, the seeds of hatred were planted during the Great Purge.

Talking about patriotism? People love the Mexican Empire, not the Mexican Republic. As supporters of Massimiliano I, it was their quest to restore the emperor.

Now that Austria has intervened, it is too late for them to rejoice, how can they speak for the republican government?

Besides, now that everyone is an Austrian citizen, wouldn't it be treason to suddenly change their minds? The habitual flickering Dafa is already a dead end here.

It's better to do it than not to do it well, as long as these people accept the compensation, they have more reasons to bargain at the negotiating table.

Personal honor and disgrace, President Juárez no longer cares. From the moment he made up his mind to overthrow the reign of Massimiliano I, he prepared for the worst.

The Austrians deliberately targeted this time and hit directly at the soft underbelly of the republican government. Unable to accept the restoration of Massimiliano I, they were doomed to criticism, regardless of the final outcome.

Ordinary people can't see that having an extra rubber stamp on their head is a political disaster. It will only be taken for granted that Juarez does not hesitate to sell the interests of the country for the sake of his own rights.

At present, the constitutionalists have begun to promote this, although they are also very disgusted with Massimiliano I, but it doesn't matter, the emperor can also abdicate after the restoration, just replace someone on the throne.

In any case, Mexico cannot live without an emperor. Otherwise, how could they, the nobles, protect their own interests?

Needless to say, President Juárez knows that soon this statement will become mainstream in society, and political opponents will not give up this opportunity to fall into the trap.

There is only one way to turn the tables, and that is for the republicans to win the final power struggle and grasp the right to speak in society, so that President Juárez may be whitewashed.

Politics is so cruel, and the misfortune of President Juárez is mainly that the enemy is too strong and it is not a fair fight at all.

Now he is facing not Massimiliano I, but the Habsburgs behind the scenes. Massimiliano did so badly in Mexico that Franz had to come out and clean up the aftermath.

For the sake of the family's reputation, it is now necessary to have an even worse "Mexican government" to set it off. Then you can shake the pot and say: this is the Mexican people are too bad, not the emperor of the Habsburgs.

There is no problem with Massimiliano's personal cultivation, which is the only bright spot, so President Juárez, as the foil, is destined to be a "notorious careerist who disturbs Mexico".

If Juárez is twenty or thirty years younger, he may have a chance to lead Mexico through internal reforms and build a middle power to wash away the stain.

However, his body was no longer dead. Once President Juárez falls, and the republicans have no one to hold on, Mexico's internal contradictions will erupt in full force.

When the Mexican Civil War broke out, it was time to whitewash Massimiliano I. Of course, Franz also wants to be faced, and it is impossible to tell nonsense with his eyes open and put gold on Massimiliano indiscriminately.

Like the wise and powerful, the eloquent and strategic, the magnificent, the admonition, the internal and external, the hard work, the innovation of the virtuous...... Massimiliano can't touch any of these idioms, and it's almost the same on himself.

At that time, there will be a lot of evidence that Massimiliano was a benevolent emperor, and the main reason for the collapse of the government is: "The people of Mexico are not pure, and there are too many rebellious ministers and thieves." ”

This is not useless work, and it has deep political implications. If Massimiliano I did not work, then it meant the failure of the education of the Habsburgs.

This makes one wonder what would happen if there was such a dead emperor in Austria in the future. Some people will want to plan ahead, which creates an opportunity for a messy spread of ideas.

If it is taken advantage of by careerists, they will advocate the British constitutional monarchy, and even go further, fooling the people, creating public opinion, and using public opinion to force the monarch to give up his rights.

The constitutional monarchy of the British people in the original time and space was crippled in this way, initially just to restrict the rights of the monarch and prevent the king from acting recklessly, and finally directly turned the king into a rubber seal.

Don't look at the monarch in the game of monarchs and ministers on the surface, but the ministers have been changing, changing batch after batch, and the monarch only needs to make a waste to lose all the advantages.

Franz is still making preparations to curb this situation. Before the construction of the system is completed, anything that may shake the imperial power must be extinguished in the cradle.

Against this backdrop, the only way for Mexico to rise is to hang Massimiliano I on top of its head and serve as a rubber stamp to prop up the façade.

Otherwise, the better they do, the worse they will die in the end. Once there are signs of development, it is necessary to immediately meet the dimensionality reduction strike.

Franz's true thoughts were not revealed, and naturally no one would know.

In the eyes of the outside world, it was nothing more than the ouster of Massimiliano I, which made the Habsburgs lose people, and Franz, the head of the family, moved his anger to the Mexican republican government.
