Chapter 512

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

It took tens of thousands of troops to investigate the case, and the outcome was doomed from the beginning. The final answer must be what Austria wants, Governor Hummel firmly believes.

"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, should we resist? This is a question worth thinking about.

Radical leader Barski said with indignation: "Your Excellency, Austria is deceiving people too much, they are blatantly trampling on our sovereignty, and we can't just let it go.

I propose to immediately disarm the Austrian embassy and take them hostage. At the same time, he ordered the troops along the way to intercept the Austrian army, delaying their speed, and buying time to gather the troops of the whole country and fight them to the death. "

Vice President Anakin immediately retorted: "Balkis, you fool. If you do this, there is no room for relaxation.

At this time, we have no chance of winning a war with Austria. You are destroying Mexico! "

Conservative leader Christine said: "It can't be said that way, His Excellency Balkis still has some truth.

The Austrians are all calling at the door. Your Excellency Anna, don't you think that these tens of thousands of Austrian troops are here to play in the mountains and rivers? What kind of case requires tens of thousands of troops to investigate?

The Austrians made it clear that they were uneasy and good-natured. If they didn't send troops to intercept them, I'm afraid they would hit Mexico soon.

I know the Austrians are difficult to deal with, and a war with them would certainly cost a lot. But we can't ignore national interests in order to preserve our strength! "

Archbishop Lulanka echoed: "Yes, we must show the Austrians a little bit of color to let them know how powerful we are.

Your Excellency, order it! No matter how late the enemy will come to Mexico City, we must not give up the capital again and let Massimiliano I restore it! "

...

The voice of the main battle continued to rise, which greatly increased the pressure on President Juarez.

Under normal circumstances, to go to war with Austria, everyone is against it. This time, however, the struggle within the Mexican Republican government has intensified.

At present, the republican faction headed by President Juarez is naturally the upper hand. Their armed forces are the most powerful, and the area around Mexico City is their sphere of influence.

In the event of a war with Austria, the republicans would bear the brunt. Other political forces that are unwilling to lose in the power struggle will naturally not miss this opportunity to kill with a knife.

For many people, the threat of Austria is the problem of psoriasis, not threatening their core interests, but the republicans will kill them.

When Massimiliano I was overthrown, conservatives, constitutionalists, Catholics, republicans, and radicals could still unite, but when it came time to distribute power, everyone parted ways.

When President Juarez was in power that year, the reform program he promoted had already offended the Catholic Church and conservatives. Because their own interests were damaged, these talents supported the constitutionalists, and they hooked up with the French and invited Massimiliano I from Europe.

I just didn't expect that the emperor they personally supported was also an idealist, and the reform measures adopted were more radical than Juarez.

There was no other way. In the end, everyone was really unable to bear it, 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 will also want to take down President Juarez. This is a life-and-death struggle, and there is no possibility of easing in the slightest.

The military advantage of the Republican faction is not obvious, and it can subdue the forces of all parties, mainly occupying Mexico City first. Juarez is the president's righteous name.

This is an advantage in normal times, but now that the Austrian army is under the city, the advantage has become a disadvantage.

If you don't resist, you will be cast as a traitor, and if you resist, you will consume your precious troops. It's good to win, you can rely on prestige to make up for the lack of strength, and it's not a big problem to keep the regime.

If they lose, the republican faction is doomed. The defeated government is not qualified to continue in power, and it is inevitable that a new political force will come to power.

Except that the radicals are relatively simple and are true patriots. The rest became the main war 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.

Are you going to fight? Yes, I personally lead the team, and we will go to the death squad together.

In this war of great disparity, since we are going to die, let us old guys go, not the young guys to sacrifice in vain.

If you want to fight, sign up here with me, or shut up. Now it's time to discuss countermeasures, not to watch you show off, disgusting! "

Everyone's faces changed drastically, it's okay to let others die, but if you want to go to the battlefield yourself, forget it, everyone hasn't lived enough!

No one doubts Juarez's words, this is a ruthless man. Being able to become the president of Mexico as an Indian does not depend on lip service, but kills with one knife and one shot.

Anyone who knows Juarez knows that his background is not high. He lost his parents when he was 3 years old and was raised by his uncle.

In the early years, he served as a slave to others, and from slave to president, he achieved a counterattack in his life. On the way, he stepped on the bones of countless people before he came to power.

Besides, President Juarez is already in his 60s

How many. In this era, he was already old, and he was injured when he was young, and his physical condition was already very bad.

In the case of dying soon, President Juarez may not be able to do the thing of pulling everyone to be buried together.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward, and after a while, the foreign minister broke the silence.

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

The focus of the Vienna government's colonial expansion was on the African continent, and the Americas were not the target of their expansion, and they had not reached out to Mexico for so many years.

Austria did not send additional troops to the Americas, and we can preliminarily judge that the Vienna government is not prepared to go to war with us.

The Austrians should have been ordered by Franz to send troops to take Massimiliano I. Some time ago, the Austrian Minister negotiated with us on this issue.

If Massimiliano I hadn't refused to abdicate, we would have let him go.

The shooting was just an accident, giving the Austrians an excuse. Now it should be the governor of Austrian Central America who made his own decision and used this opportunity to take advantage of the topic and want to carry out political blackmail.

As long as the response work is done well, the Austrians are not allowed to seize the handle, and the British and French mediation is invited, this matter can still be resolved peacefully. "

It has to be said that the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs has done its homework. Basically guessing the truth, the Vienna government did not issue an order to expand, and of course it did not order to prohibit the expansion of the colonial government.

Including the mediation countries, they are all carefully selected. The foreign powers are not charitable. If you want to ask others to mediate, you also need to bribe with interests. Otherwise, why support you?

In this case, it is not natural that the more countries participating in the mediation, the better. Spending a lot of money to invite some small countries that have no right to speak to come in to mediate, apart from wasting interests, it is impossible to gain anything at all.

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

Spain is caught up in civil strife and has no energy to engage in these issues. Although the United States of America and the Confederate States of America are close at hand, their threat to Mexico is too great, and the two sides still have a bloody feud.

Invite them to participate in mediation, that is, the sheep go into the tiger's mouth. For these two restless neighbors, the Mexican Republican government is still very vigilant.

This exclusion leaves Britain and France alone. Although their relationship with the French is not good, it is the uncle who owes money. If Austria expands its power in Mexico, what will they use to pay the French back?

Radical leader Barski questioned: "Britain, France and Austria are allies. Let the British and French ministers intervene in mediation. Can they stand on our side?"

"It is true that Britain, France and Austria are allies, but their relationship is not that harmonious.

The Anglo-Bulgarian War that broke out not long ago was a game between Britain and Austria over the African continent. Going forward, there is the dispute over the Mediterranean 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.

When it comes to the diplomatic level, the governors of Austrian Central America have not yet been able to coordinate 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, Apter added worryingly: "Of course, the premise that Britain and France support us is that we must take the lead. If the Austrians are caught, Britain and France will not fight against Austria for us. Up."

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

President Juarez nodded, this is the way to deal with the problem. That kind of shouting at every turn to start a war is clearly deliberately making trouble.

If the fight is won, President Juarez also wants to be tough. But there is no way, the gap between the strengths of the two sides is too great, and they can't beat Austria at all.

President Juarez sternly warned: "I think you are all aware of the seriousness of the matter. Handle the shooting as soon as possible and do not leave any clues to the Austrians.

If someone deliberately engages in this issue, it is treason, and there is no mercy for this kind of thief! "

With a group of pig teammates, President Juarez's heart is very tired. Deep down he had an ominous premonition that something big was about to happen.

His tired body made him unable to continue thinking. Years make people grow old, and just holding a meeting to subdue all forces makes Juarez somewhat powerless.

The political struggle was too complicated to reassure him for a moment. The real culprit of the shooting has not been arrested for a long time, casting a shadow over the incident.

If a Chinese doctor sees Juarez, they will come to the conclusion that the oil is exhausted. Now he is holding on with just one breath. Once the breath is let out, his life will come to an end.
