After the storm, Mexico City ushered in a bloody storm. The republican government troops who entered the city did not rest, and began to arrest people without stopping.

That night in Mexico City, weeping, countless remnants of Massimiliano's government were caught. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, anyway, the revolution needs bloodshed, how can you stand up without killing people?

President Juárez watched as this happened, not because he didn't want to stop it, but because he couldn't.

The republican government is the product of the alliance and compromise of various forces, and these mountains are not something that he, as a president, can command.

The chaos that took place in the city was, perhaps, in the eyes of many, less so than that of Massimiliano I.

The rebels were not paid, and the income of the officers and soldiers depended entirely on the spoils of war. Now that the battle is over, how can the troops be disbanded if they are not allowed to make a fortune?

Massimiliano's henchmen were a joke in themselves, and if they did, the rebels would not have been able to take Mexico City without bloodshed.

On this night, the people of Mexico City experienced two days of ice and fire, and the long-awaited Republican Army finally arrived, but it did not bring a new life, but a bloody storm.

The purge lasted more than a week, implicating one-third of Mexico City's population. In the end, the families of the republican army were affected, and when the matter became more and more troublesome, President Juarez stepped forward to stop it.

The republican government, which had just gained power, lost the hearts of the people in the shortest possible time. Because of this atrocity, the internal contradictions of the republican government were further intensified, and the hidden danger of civil war was laid.

President Juárez did not care about these issues, and now he has two major problems before him:

First, what should Massimiliano I do, hiding in the Austrian embassy?

Second, the civil war is over, how can so many hills in the republican government be appeased?

The second point is the most difficult to deal with, when we fight the world, we can still unite as one, and now we have become incompatible.

Most of the top positions in the republican government were occupied by the rebel army led by President Juárez. Before the end of the civil war, the future was uncertain, everyone was staring at the army, and not many people paid attention to these empty shelves.

Now it can't be done, everyone is stretching out their hands to ask for officials, trying to occupy a greater initiative in the new government, and no one will budge in the face of interests.

President Juárez was very embarrassed, and he was reluctant to give up these positions for personal reasons. If he had changed to another faction, it would have been difficult to guarantee his control over the government.

Of course, this is impossible. If you want to eat alone, you also have to see whether the guns in other people's hands agree or not, and if one is not good, it will trigger a new round of civil war.

Compromise is not so simple, and the Mexican republican government is now also full of mountains, and it is simply impossible for the distribution of power to be recognized by all.

These problems could not be dealt with overnight, and President Juárez was not able to deal with them, which eventually led to the Mexican Civil War.

The problem at hand was Massimiliano I, the threat posed to them by the emperor's presence in Mexico City was too great.

As long as Massimiliano I did not announce his abdication for a single day, he would be the rightful emperor of Mexico, and the republican government would not be able to gain legitimacy.

President Juárez has communicated with the ministers of various countries, and there is no surprise, and now everyone still recognizes the government of Massimiliano I as the legitimate government of Mexico.

Internally, you can reason with your fists, but when you are involved abroad, President Juárez does not know what to do.

It was imperative to remove Massimiliano I from the throne as soon as possible, to win recognition from all countries as legitimate governments, and then to secure international loans to tide over the financial crisis.

That's right, the newly born republican government of Mexico broke out in a fiscal crisis. There is no way, this is the giant pit left by Massimiliano I.

Mexico's tariffs were still in the hands of the Great Powers, and after the end of Massimiliano I, these revenues were withheld.

The Mexican republican government must also fulfill the debts it owed. President Juárez is ready to pay his debts, but not now, and he will not dare to act until the situation stabilizes.

These are nothing, the key is that the total strength of the rebel army is as high as more than 200,000, and now the battle is over and needs to be dismissed.

This cannot be said to be scattered, and people have also left blood for the revolution. Now that the revolution has triumphed, it is impossible not to say anything about it.

The troops who made a fortune in Mexico City are okay, the soldiers have a little money in their pockets, and the rebel army scattered all over the country has not yet been rewarded?

Reaching out to ask for a lot of money, but President Juárez is also a poor man, unable to collect taxes, and the government's fiscal revenue is almost zero.

It was expected to be snatched from the Massimiliano government, but unfortunately the Massimiliano government lived on loans. The money is there, but it's all in the banks of the great powers.

The republican government has not gained legitimacy, and these banks will naturally not pay them. Of course, even if you gain legitimacy, the odds of getting money are very low.

Without the cooperation of the previous government, they don't even know how much money they have. If you don't rip out their money, then you're still a banker?

Looking at the dejected Foreign Minister, President Juarez asked with concern: "Is the Austrian embassy still not handing over people?" ”

The Foreign Secretary replied with a look of shame: "Yes, Your Excellency. The Austrians were very ruthless and warned our men to evacuate immediately, otherwise they would take extraordinary measures. ”

President Juárez was not surprised, it was all normal operation. The great powers of these years are so ruthless, and they are unreasonable and have stirred up three points. If it makes sense, then don't say anything, just hug your arms and do it!

"Command them to go down and forbid anyone to do their business, and cut off their food and water supply, and see how long they can hold out!"

President Juárez said harshly that this was the strongest measure he could use right now. Tougher measures, not for nothing, the problem is that the consequences are too serious.

……

The water cut off is a joke, and Mexico City mostly uses groundwater, and in the 21st century there are more than 5,000 wells. There is a well in the Austrian embassy, unless the Mexicans dare to run in and wreak havoc.

It's easy to solve the problem of food shortage, and the embassy also has reserves for this thing, and it's no problem to support it for a month or two.

Even if it didn't have much effect, Minister Compton ran to protest early. Water and food are not a problem, but fruits, vegetables, and meat, these things still need to be replenished.

In any case, Massimiliano I is also the emperor of Mexico, and the treatment he should have is still indispensable, and he can't be allowed to nibble on bread every day, right?

Of course, the problem of food is still a trivial matter, and Massimiliano I was an idealist, so it is not a big problem for him to share the ups and downs with his men.

Minister Compton ran so aggressively that he did not find an excuse to interfere, but the Vienna government was embarrassed and had to pay attention to his appearance.

If the republican government of Mexico had now opened the way for them to send Massimiliano I away, the intervention would have come to an end.

It is not easy to be a minister in a small country, and there is no opportunity to make a contribution at all. You must know that before Massimiliano succeeded to the throne, Austria only had an office in Mexico, and there was no such high position as a minister.

The diplomatic relations were upgraded, not because Franz attached importance to diplomacy with Mexico, but mainly to give political help to Massimiliano I.

Compton still took advantage of this shareholder wind and jumped to the top. If he misses this opportunity and does not achieve superhuman political achievements, the Mexican minister will be the pinnacle of his political career.

If you run diligently now, you are creating trouble. In recent days, Compton has clashed with a number of Republican government military and politicians.

It's a pity that these people are too cowardly, no matter how irritating he is in words, these people are accompanied by smiling faces, so that he can't do anything.

Now what he longs for most is the sudden emergence of a second-year teenager in the republican government, and it would be perfect if he stimulated him a few words and stupidly wanted to declare war on Austria, and then he would agree to it.

This kind of good thing cannot happen, the Mexican republican government is so fierce that it is impossible for the second middle school boy to become a high-level at all, and anyone in a high position is an old fox.

It is true that there are many middle and lower middle and lower middle school and second-class teenagers in the republican government, but it is a pity that these people are not qualified to represent the government. Besides, these people are not easy to mess with, and they will shoot black guns if they don't do it.

At that time, there was a pretext for war, and he was put into it. Minister Compton had not lived long enough to die for his country so early.

After another futile return, Minister Compton asked, "Your Majesty, there is no trouble, is it?" ”

Giving the emperor bread, potatoes, corn, vegetables, fruits, and meat every day was simply abuse, and Compton was still a little worried that Massimiliano would not be able to stand it.

The secretary replied, "Better than expected, this majesty also asked for the same food as the soldiers, and refused Xiao Zao." ”

Minister Compton nodded, the staff at the embassy had been suffering in recent days. It's okay for him, a minister, to run outside every day, and often participate in some banquet activities, which can improve the food.

No matter how chaotic Mexico City may be, the embassies and expatriates are still in the glamour of life, and the Republican army has committed no offense in these places.

Although the Austrian embassy was surrounded, not a single gun could be seen at all. President Juárez was also afraid of misfire, so he simply let the soldiers on the encirclement mission not be equipped with guns.

Anyway, the city is full of their own people, and they are not afraid that Massimiliano I will run away. Again, the main purpose of the siege is to exert pressure, not to really launch an attack.

Otherwise, Minister Compton would have fired a black gun and provoked a conflict. As long as there is a rush, the responsibility must be on the Mexican Republican government.

Now no one has a gun in their hands, and even if they want to do something, Minister Compton can't do it. Proactively provoking trouble and reacting to it are two different concepts.

The embassies of various countries are not far away, and if they are seen, Austria's reputation will be ruined. Compared with the country's reputation, personal achievements should be put on the back burner.

"In that case, there's no need to be so nervous. If any of these guards want to go home, they can take turns to go back and see, and if there is any trouble, the embassy will try to solve it for them. ”

The Minister of Compton was confident in saying this, and the army of Governor Hummel was about to set out, and if there was no reasonable excuse, he would take Massimiliano I.

The Vienna government has little interest in Mexico, and there are excuses to take advantage of it, and if there is no excuse, forget it, this is not a strategic focus.

Strength is the best confidence, just cut off water and food, if the Mexican government does not have a reasonable explanation, they will not be able to eat and walk around.

Of course, this is only a minor problem, and an apology and a loss of money will be considered a solution.

If the Mexican government is cooperative enough not to prevent Austria from taking Massimiliano I, then these can be done without doing this, which can be regarded as counteracting the unauthorized entry of Austrian troops.

Among the great powers, Austria was a good man of foreign affairs. When unreasonable, it is rarely aggressive. Of course, it's different.
