Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, finally waiting for an excuse to interfere. Without any hesitation, Governor Hummel immediately ordered troops to be sent to Mexico, under the pretext of "investigating the cause of the death of Austrian soldiers."

used tens of thousands of troops to investigate the case, and the outcome was already doomed from the beginning. The final answer must be what Austria wants, and Governor Hummel was convinced.

"Austria has sent troops", when the news reached Mexico City, the Austrian army had already landed in Veracruz.

The Mexican republican government has made a mess, do you want to resist? This is a question worth pondering.

Balsky, the leader of the radicals, was indignant: "Your Excellency, Austria has deceived people too much, they are blatantly trampling on our sovereignty, and they absolutely cannot just leave it at that."

I propose that the Austrian Embassy be disarmed immediately and taken hostage. At the same time, he ordered the troops along the way to intercept the Austrian troops, delay their speed, and buy time to gather the troops of the whole country to fight them to the death. ”

Vice President Anakin immediately retorted: "Balkis, you reckless man. If this is done, there will be no room for relaxation.

At this time, we have no chance of winning in the war with Austria, you are destroying Mexico! ”

Conservative leader Christaner spoke: "You can't say that, there is some truth in what Your Excellency Balkis said.

The Austrians are all coming to the door, Your Excellency Anna, you don't think that these tens of thousands of Austrian troops are here to enjoy the scenery, right? What kind of case needs tens of thousands of troops to investigate?

The Austrians were clearly uneasy, and if they did not send troops to intercept them, it would not be long before they reached Mexico.

I know that the Austrians are not easy to deal with, and that there will be heavy losses in a war with them. But we can't ignore the interests of the country in order to preserve our strength! ”

Archbishop Luranka chimed in: "Yes, we must give the Austrians a little color to show them that we are very good."

Your Excellency, give the order! No matter how late the enemy is about to arrive in Mexico City, we must not abandon the capital again and let Massimiliano I restore it! ”

……

The voices of the main battle continue to rise, and the pressure on President Juárez has increased.

Under normal circumstances, if there was to go to war with Austria, everyone was against it. This time was an exception, however, as the struggle within Mexico's republican government was already heating up.

At present, the republican faction, led by President Juárez, has the strongest armed forces, and the area around Mexico City is their sphere of influence.

In the event of a war with Austria, the republicans bore the brunt. Other political forces that are unwilling to lose in the struggle for power will naturally not let go of this opportunity to kill people with a knife.

For many, the Austrian threat is a ringworm that does not threaten their core interests, but rather the Republicans who want their lives.

When Massimiliano I was overthrown, conservatives, constitutionalists, Catholics, republicans, and radicals could still unite, and when it came time for the distribution of power, everyone parted ways.

During President Juárez's administration, he pushed for reforms that offended the Catholic Church and conservatives. Because of the damage to their own interests, these people supported the constitutionalists, hooked up with the French, and invited Massimiliano I from Europe.

It's just that they didn't expect that the emperor they personally supported was actually an idealist, and the reform measures he took were even more radical than Huarez.

There was no way, and in the end, everyone couldn't bear it anymore, so they rebelled and overthrew the rule of Massimiliano I.

Now that the republicans are in power, in order to protect their own interests, the conservatives and the Catholic Church also want to bring down President Juarez. This is a life-and-death struggle, and there is no possibility of easing it in the slightest.

The republicans did not have a significant advantage in force and were able to subdue the forces, mainly the first to occupy Mexico City, and Juárez was the president with the title of righteousness.

In normal times, this is an advantage, but now that the Austrians are in the city, the advantage becomes a disadvantage.

If you don't resist, you will be sprayed with traitors, and if you resist, you will consume your precious troops. Fortunately, if we win the war, we can rely on prestige to make up for the lack of strength, and there is no big problem in maintaining power.

If they lose, the republicans are finished. A defeated government is not qualified to remain in power, and it is inevitable that a new political force will come to power.

Except that the radicals are more simple and are true patriots. The rest became the main battle faction in order to realize their political ambitions.

Seeing that the republicans were outnumbered, Juarez slapped the table and roared: "Enough, this is not a vegetable market."

You're going to fight, aren't you? Yes, I'll lead the team myself, and we'll go to the death squad together.

In this war with a huge disparity between victory and defeat, since we are going to die, then let us go with these old guys, and we don't have to sacrifice the boys in vain.

If you want to fight, sign up with me, or you will shut up. Now it's time to discuss countermeasures, not to watch you put on a show, disgusting! ”

Everyone's faces have changed greatly, it's okay to let others sell their lives, if you want to go to the battlefield yourself, forget it, everyone hasn't lived enough!

No one doubted Juarez's words, he was a ruthless man. Being able to become the president of Mexico as an Indian is not based on lip service, but by a knife and a shot.

Anyone who knows Juárez knows that he is not of high origin. He lost his parents at the age of 3 and was raised by his uncle.

In his early years, he was a slave to others, and he achieved a counterattack in his life from a slave to the president, but he stepped on the bones of countless people to ascend to the throne along the way.

Moreover, President Juárez is in his sixties. In this era, he is already a long life, he was injured when he was young, and his physical condition is already very bad.

In the case of a short life, President Juárez may not be able to do the matter of pulling everyone to accompany the funeral.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward, and after half a sound, the foreign minister opened his mouth to break the silence.

"The expansion of the Austrians in Mexico is not something that everyone wants to see, and we can invite Britain and France to intervene.

The Viennese government's colonial expansion was focused on the African continent, and the Americas were not their target, and they did not reach out to Mexico for many years.

Austria did not send more troops to the Americas, and we can preliminarily judge that the Viennese government was not prepared to go to war with us.

The Austrians should have sent troops at the behest of Franz to prepare to take Massimiliano I. Some time ago, the Austrian Minister also held talks with us on this issue.

If it weren't for Massimiliano I's refusal to abdicate, we would have let him go long ago.

The shooting was just an accident and gave the Austrians an excuse. It is now up to the governor of Austria Central America to take the initiative and take advantage of this opportunity to exploit the issue and want to carry out political blackmail.

As long as the response is done well, the Austrians are not allowed to seize the handle, and then Britain and France are invited to mediate, the matter can still be resolved peacefully. ”

It has to be said that the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs has done its homework. Basically, the Vienna government did not issue an order for expansion, and certainly did not order a ban on the colonial government's expansion abroad.

Including the mediation countries, they are carefully selected. The great powers are not charitable, if they want to ask others to mediate, they also need to buy with benefits, otherwise why should they support you?

In such a case, it is not natural that the more countries involved in mediation, the better. Spending a lot of money to invite some small countries that have no right to speak to mediate will not gain anything at all except wasting their interests in vain.

In Mexico, there are five countries that have a voice, in addition to Austria. In addition to the United Kingdom and France, there are also Spain, the United States of America, and the Confederate States of America.

Spain was mired in civil strife and did not have the energy to get involved in these issues. Although the United States of America and the Confederate States of America are close at hand, they pose too great a threat to Mexico, and the two sides still have a deep blood feud.

Ask them to participate in mediation, and that is to put the sheep in the mouth of the tiger. The Mexican republican government is still wary of these two restless neighbors.

In this way, Britain and France are left. Although they did not have a good relationship with the French, it was the uncle who owed the money, and if Austria expanded its influence in Mexico, what would they use to pay back the French?

Balsky, the leader of the radicals, questioned: "Britain, France and Austria are allies, so can the British and French ministers intervene in mediation, will they be on our side?" ”

Foreign Minister Apt explained: "It is true that Britain, France and Austria are allies, but their relationship is not so harmonious.

The Anglo-Boer War, which broke out not long ago, was a game between Britain and Austria over the African continent. Further on, there is the dispute over the Mediterranean Sea and the dispute over the Suez Canal.

In short, there are many points of conflict of interest between Britain, France and Austria. Even if the three countries form an alliance, their international positions will not be the same.

At the diplomatic level, the Governor of Austria-Central America was not yet able to reconcile Anglo-French relations. Unless the Vienna government intervenes and communicates with London and Paris at a high level, the British and French ministers should be on our side. ”

After a pause, Apt added uneasily: "Of course, the premise for Britain and France to support us is that we must be reasonable." If the Austrians had seized the handle, Britain and France would not have confronted Austria for our sake. ”

The rules of the game of the great powers are: reason with the strong and play with the bayonets with the weak.

President Juárez nodded, that was the way to deal with the problem. The kind of shouting for war at every turn is clearly deliberately causing trouble.

If he wins, President Juárez will also want to be tough. But there is no way, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, and they can't beat Austria at all.

President Juárez sternly warned: "I think you all know the seriousness of the matter. Deal with the shooting as soon as possible and leave nothing to the Austrians.

If someone deliberately does something on this issue, it is treason, and there is no mercy for this kind of national thief! ”

With a bunch of pig teammates, President Juárez's heart is tired. Deep down he had an ominous premonition that something big was going to happen.

His tired body made it impossible for him to continue thinking. The years are urging people to grow old, and just having a meeting to subdue the forces of all parties made Juarez a little powerless.

The political struggle is too complicated, and it does not reassure him for a moment. The fact that the real culprit of the shooting has not been caught for a long time has cast a shadow over this incident.

If a Chinese medicine practitioner sees Hu Yarez, he will conclude that the oil is running out of light. Now he is supported by only one breath, and once this breath is released, his life will come to an end.
