Masimirino wanted to serve as the emperor of Mexico, but it stimulated many people's nerves.

It would be fine if the republicans in China opposed it, because the French were supported to the throne, and many people within the constitutionalists were worried that the French would continue to expand, so they chose to wait and see.

Before Masimirino arrived in Mexico, Lincoln expressed his attitude, opposing the French's interference in Mexican internal affairs and condemning the French for violating Monroeism.

These are all small problems. Even the United States has interfered with the internal affairs of the United States. Who would take Monroeism to heart? Lincoln's protests were ignored by the French.

The Spaniards had occupied Haiti Island, Austria reached out to Central America, and the British were interested in taking back the western region, so the French naturally did not think there was anything wrong with the plot against Mexico.

There is no direct annexation, but just supporting the rule of the puppet government, which is already very careful about eating. At least it is better than Austria, and it seems that it is more eating than Austria.

Not only the northern government opposed it, but also the southern government opposed Masimirino's appointment as the Mexican emperor. They were worried that the Mexican Empire would harm their interests after it developed.

Against this background, in March 1864, Masimireno ascended the throne of the Mexican emperor, known in history as Masimireno I.

Everyone's eyes were all on the American Civil War, and they were not interested in the newly born Mexican emperor. This throne ceremony can be said to be the worst in a century.

If the guests cannot get on the table, I won’t say it. The distance is so far, I can’t expect the European nobles to go there in person. Even if they send representatives, they will need to pay for the trip, right?

It’s okay to have a shabby scene arrangement, anyway, it’s a ritual. In the end, it depends on performance. Failure is called shabby, and success is called cherishing the people’s strength.

The key is that the Republicans were causing trouble. On the day of the crowning, they organized a massive parade and asked the emperor to get out.

At the scene of the ascension of the throne, several junior high school boys wanted to destroy the ceremony. Fortunately, the guards reacted in time and stopped this bad behavior.

This is considered a powerful Mexican man who gave the emperor a warning and told Masimirino I in this unique way: You are not popular, if you are smart, you will cooperate with us.

...

Shortly after Masimirino ascended the throne, the north and the south launched a decisive battle.

In mid-April 1864, at the junction of Pennsylvania and Ohio, the Northern Government assembled 420,000 troops and the Southern Government assembled 340,000 troops.

The winner and loser of this battle will directly affect the future trend of the United States.

If the Northern government loses the battle, then Pennsylvania will fall, the Great Lakes Industrial Zone will fall into the hands of the Southern government, and the Northern government will basically be unable to make up for the situation.

On the contrary, if the Southern government loses the war, the advantages they have finally accumulated in the early stage will be gone.

The Northern government can take the power of great victory to regain Ohio and Maryland, and then use its military strength to suppress the Southern government.

The eyes of all countries have gathered here. As bystanders, the north and the south will never be able to decide the outcome, which is what everyone hopes to see most.

Since the outbreak of the Civil War, the total industrial volume of the United States has fallen by 43%, and agricultural product output has fallen by 37%.

Especially Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky, which are on the battlefield, suffer the most heavy losses.

The total population of the United States fell below 30 million. The war brought serious trauma to this country and could not recover to the pre-war level in ten years. As a war zone, the states will lick their wounds in the next twenty or thirty.

The more miserable the Americans fight, the greater the benefits they get from European countries. I won’t say anything about the arms dealers, and they all make a fortune.

Other industries have also gained a lot. Take Austria as an example: Without the impact of the United States, a major grain exporter, international grain prices have risen by 13%. As Europe's largest agricultural product exporter, it naturally became the biggest winner.

In addition to agricultural products, Austria's industrial and commercial products also appeared in the American market. The total export trade with the United States increased by 46% compared with before the war.

Britain and France did not give in too much, and took advantage of this opportunity to conquer cities and land in the Americas, especially the southern governments with weak industries. Most of the industrial and commercial products they use now come from European countries.

The northern states were not much better. After the economy transformed into war, other civilian industrial and commercial products naturally decreased significantly, and the market was filled with European manufacturing.

Don’t look at Franz hoarding arms in advance and seizing business opportunities. In fact, the British are the ones who make the most economic profits.

As the world's industrial overlord, John Bull surpassed the total of countries in the world in exporting industrial and commercial products, and naturally became the biggest beneficiary.

Since Britain, France, Olympiad and West decided to reach an agreement on the issue of the United States, the ministers of the four countries have often gathered together to exchange opinions, and occasionally there will be controversy.

Austrian representative Drucker suggested: "The critical moment has come. No matter who wins and who loses in this battle, we must intervene.

If the action is too late, the two sides will decide the outcome, and the price they will pay for if they want to intervene will not be a little bit. I suggest organizing the coalition forces immediately and directly intervening in the American Civil War with force."

French representative Alfreid opposed: "Your Excellency, it's too early for us to take action now. No matter who wins this battle, he will suffer heavy losses and will not have the ability to counterattack in the short term.

This war will last for a long time, and the best choice is to use the civil war to consume the American strength as much as possible.

If we end up now, then both the Southern and Northern governments have retained strong military strength, which is not conducive to our next activities in North America.”

These are all pretexts. The key is that the French are focusing on Mexican affairs and are now sending troops to interfere in the American Civil War. They can provide too few troops.

The interests are always linked to strength. The greater the power you can invest now, the greater the benefits you can get after the war.

Everyone is an old-fashioned powerhouse, and there is no fuel-efficient lamp. He just wants to take advantage but not work hard. Don’t dream of such a good thing.

What Yalfreid wants to do most now is to delay time and wait until they can free up their hands before interfering in the American Civil War in order to maximize their interests.

Anyway, in his opinion, it is not difficult for Britain, France, Olympiad and Western countries to join forces to interfere in this civil war. Not to mention that the United States, which is now seriously damaged, even the United States that is resurrected with full health, cannot compete with the four countries at the same time.

British representative Mario Liver said: "After now the American Civil War has been fighting, both sides are already running around, and it is unlikely that it will continue for a long time.

If both sides were not unable to hold on, there would not be this decisive battle. Judging from the situation on the battlefield, everyone is very clear that the preparations for the north and south sides of this battle were very hasty.

If we continue to wait, no one can guarantee what will happen next. What if the winner and the north and the south directly compromise?

As a third party, if we miss the best opportunity for interference, how can we protect everyone's interests after the war?

I support Drucker's proposed plan, and now we must organize the military intervention immediately so that the situation will not escalate and harm our interests."

Two to one, the Spanish vote became the key to decision-making. If they support the French, then the issue of two to two needs to be discussed; on the contrary, it is that the minority obeys the majority and the proposal is approved.

Spanish Minister Francisco said: "As far as I know, the ties between the governments of the north and the south have never been interrupted. In order to avoid the worst situation, I support the formation of an interference army."

Not surprisingly, Spanish Minister Francisco made the choice that best suits his own interests.

If this intervention plan fails, most of the great causes of Britain, France and the Olympics will be able to afford it, but Spain cannot.

Americans have long been eyeing the Cuba area, but Cuba is the richest colony in Spain, and it can bring them a lot of wealth every year. They are not sure to defend it in the face of a unified United States.

In the face of core interests, the Spaniards dare not take risks. Therefore, the Spaniards were very active in the issue of splitting the United States. Even if Spain has many conflicts in China, they have joined the interference alliance.

British Minister Mar Oliver continued: "Three to one, it is proposed to pass. Now let's summarize the number of troops sent by various countries to ensure the smooth progress of interference.

Great Britain can dispatch American fleets, including 5 ironclad ships, 16 sail battleships, 38 warships of all kinds, and 80,000 troops."

This is almost all the British mobile armed forces in North America. Obviously, they have invested a lot of money and are ready to completely divide the United States.

Austrian Minister Drucker thought for a while and said, "Our American fleet can also be dispatched, but on the west coast, there are now three ironclad ships and more than 30 warships of various types, and the army can dispatch 50,000 people."

This is currently the most military forces in Austria in the Americas and Austria. If it weren’t for domestic reinforcements not long ago, they wouldn’t have been able to provide so many troops.

After all, Central America is still unstable, and local militias organized by the local government are obviously unable to move. They cannot interfere with the United States, and their own colonies are lost again.

Spanish Minister Francisco said without confidence: "We can dispatch Cuban fleets, with more than 50 warships of various types, including one ironclad ship, and the army can mobilize 70,000."

There is no way, Spain really declined. If it weren't for the purpose of supporting the storefront, this ironclad ship would not have been there. As for the 70,000 army, this includes an army composed of local indigenous people, and its combat effectiveness is unknown.

The three of them looked at Alfrid. France was the main force in the army that interfered with the coalition forces. He bragged a lot in the past, but now it is their performance.

After hesitating for a while, Yalfried made a decision: "We can dispatch the American fleet, with more than 50 warships of various types, including three ironclad ships, and the army can dispatch 60,000 people."

No matter what, France cannot lose its face. At worst, Mexico's problem is postponed. This action is directly related to the division of American interests after the war.
