People's hearts are complicated. On the surface, President Juarez has suppressed opposition forces from all sides, but in secret, the situation in Mexico City is turbulent.

After the shooting, the blockade against the Austrian embassy was lifted. Originally, it was banned from entering the country, but now it has become the Mexican government that takes the initiative to send supplies to the door.

There is no way, President Juarez is really afraid. Austrian soldiers came out to sway around and caused so many troubles. If they were asked to come out and wander every day, I still don’t know how many troubles would happen.

If a few more deaths are killed, even if the shooting has nothing to do with them, the Republican government will not be able to escape by then. Huares has already experienced the domineering powers of the great powers.

Ten years ago, the Mexican government's finances were on the verge of bankruptcy, and Juarez announced a suspension of payment of foreign debt for two years and was preparing to bargain with creditors.

The result was naturally a social beating, and the Mexican Republican government became a lower regime, and he returned to Mexico City ten years later.

How many decades can you have in your life? If you don’t have this lost decade, perhaps Juarez’s social reform has been successful.

Only after losing it can you know how to cherish it. Only after experiencing it can you know how to fear it can you know how to experience it.

Now, except for the second-year junior high school boys, there is no one in the Republican government who is not afraid of the great powers. Juarez doesn't recognize the debt left by Masimirino I, but in fact he doesn't pay the money obediently.

In order to appease the radicals, they have been saying that when "the situation stabilizes, the debt will no longer be paid", which is actually not a slogan.

The French are worried that Masimirino I will fall and these debts will be ruined. In fact, the republican government led by President Juarez is already scared and dare not really betray the debt.

The so-called toughness is just a shout of political slogans. In actual actions, they are still very honest. Even if they are pieced together, they have to pay the foreign debt first.

Without sending troops to intercept him, Governor Hummel marched very quickly and arrived in Mexico City in less than a week.

President Juares' response measures were not ineffective. Austria wanted to save face. There was no war and the army led by Governor Hummel had no excuse to attack the city and set up camp outside the city directly.

The handling of the "shooting case" is stuck at the judicial level, with ministers from all countries being witnesses, waiting for the Mexican government to provide evidence to close the case.

Everything was moving towards the good side, and at this time the feast prepared by the Compton Minister was staged. Hundreds of "Austrian citizens" came to protest and also prepared evidence.

There is no doubt that these were the families of the soldiers, or the relatives and friends. Their property suffered serious losses a week before the Republican army entered the city, and even some people died.

Under normal circumstances, these people who have promoted to fight have no choice but to accept it. This time it is different. With the secret planning by the Minister Compton, their courage suddenly became stronger.

Extraterritorial legal power makes them fearless. They follow the example of how foreign citizens treat the Mexican government.

Minister Compton, who had just had a great conversation, immediately changed his face and scolded sternly: "His Excellency the President, your army has ignored international law and acted recklessly, which has damaged the personal and property safety of Austrian citizens. Now, on behalf of the Vienna government, I send you a formal diplomatic note.

Order your government to hand over the relevant responsible persons within 24 hours, accept legal sanctions, and compensate our citizens for their losses!"

This excuse is still a bit far-fetched, and everyone knows what's going on. But the following people did get Austrian nationality.

Legally speaking, as long as these people become Austrian citizens, they will be protected by Austria before the Mexican Republican Army operates.

There is no doubt that this time must have been before this. The Compton Minister could not make such a mistake. The documents issued can prove that their naturalization time was before the Republican Army entered the city.

Regardless of whether the procedures are in compliance with or not, it is Austria's internal affairs, and it is not the turn of outsiders to intervene.

President Juarez's face changed drastically, and other issues were easy to say. It is absolutely impossible to "hand over the responsible person". If the person is handed over, the army must mutiny.

Besides, even if they commit crimes, they should be dealt with by Mexico. How can they let the Austrians be tried?

Relying on mediation between Britain and France, unfortunately, after seeing the evidence provided by the Austrians, the ministers of Britain and France began to wander around.

It’s not that they don’t want to help, the key is that the evidence is in front of them. The Austrians have written documents to prove that these are Austrian citizens and photographers photographed photos of the atrocities of the Mexican Republican Army.

Britain, France and the three countries of England, France and Australia are nominally allies, and under Austria's rule, they cannot support the Mexican Republican government.

President Juarez knew that the Austrians attacked at this time and deliberately made things difficult for them with these conditions, which was definitely not just to stand up for these "citizens".

It is difficult to solve the problem without clarifying the Austrians' real purpose. At this time, the Austrian army was already at the city and it was too late to resist.

The only thing that made him happy was that the Austrians were still considering international influence and did not take action directly without caring about it, which proved that there was room for maneuver.

The great powers of this era have a common characteristic. When reasoning cannot achieve their goals, they will choose to speak with cannons.

The role of acting as a bridge between the two sides fell on the British Minister Edward. They were the best at this kind of thing. In this era, more than half of the international conflicts around the world were missing the shadow of the British.

...

That night, British Minister Edward appeared in the Austrian Embassy.

Putting down the coffee in his hand, Edward asked gracefully: "His Excellency Compton, your country's actions in Mexico are also paying close attention to the London government.

We are allies, so if you need help, you are welcome. But what kind of purpose do you want to achieve?"

The British "help" is more appropriate than a warning. When expanding overseas, Austria was not prepared to borrow British manpower, and Franz was afraid that he would not be able to pay back that thing.

The hidden meaning was naturally understood by the Minister Compton. Emphasizing "allies" is nothing more than saying that it cannot harm the interests of Britain. Proposing "help" is nothing more than warning not to do too much.

He picked up the coffee on the table, and Minister Compton took a sip and said calmly: "The evil republican thought must be curbed.

If the Mexicans were not taught a lesson, wouldn’t it make the republican idea become more rampant? If it spread to the European continent, I’m afraid everyone will feel unhappy.”

This explanation obviously cannot satisfy Edward. When did the Vienna government have such an internationalist spirit?

You should know that since Franz came to power, he first indulged in the Russian Empire, and then became France, and he did not look like a responsible European power.

Edward believed that the Austrians had fought against republican ideas. As the backbone of the monarchy, the Austrian emperor's power was no weaker than the Tsar.

It’s just that Austria’s reforms were early and social reforms had been completed. These developments were very good and the society was very stable.

On the issue of cracking down on republican thought, the monarchy has the same position. This is a dispute over the discourse power of the ideological world, and no one will give up easily.

Edward asked uncertainly: "His Excellency Compton, then, is your country ready to restore Massimireno I?"

In terms of interests, doing so is not in the interests of Austria, and the price it takes to pay for the restoration of Massimirino I will be too high.

However, in countries like Austria with strong imperial power, many times we cannot only look at interests, and the emperor's will can also determine the direction of the country.

Although Masimirino I was not capable, he was Franz's younger brother. This could make Franz devote a lot of money.

Similar situations have not only happened once or twice in European history. Edward is not sure if this will happen in Austria, after all, Franz left an image to the outside world too perfect.

Minister Compton shook his head and replied, "If you can support His Majesty Massimirano I to restore the throne, it will be the best.

However, due to some special problems, the major forces within Mexico now do not welcome this Majesty.

Our conditions are very simple. The Mexican government has three options: First, continue to support Massimirino I as the emperor, so these small questions need not be mentioned, and constitutional monarchy is acceptable;

Second, to make up for the losses of Austrian citizens and bear the cost of this military dispatch, a total of 12 million Syrians. If you don’t have money, you will ced Chiapas, Tabasco, Oaxaca, Veracruz, and Yucatan Peninsula to pay off the debt.”

Needless to say, Edward also knew about the third route. The most common method used by everyone is to resolve the issue by force if the negotiation fails. If the Mexican government thinks it can win, it can try to resolve the issue by force.

Edward thought for a while and said, "Your country's appetite is still so good. Can Mexicans bear such conditions?"

Obviously, Edward did not want to see Austria expanding unscrupulously in Mexico. If there were no restrictions, it would sooner or later consume the entire Mexico.

Compton smiled slightly and defended: "You can't say that. As long as the Mexican government restores Masimirino I, there will be no cost to pay.

If they were patriotic enough, they should accept our kindness. You should know that His Majesty Massimirino I was kind and would not hold them responsible for their conspiracy and rebellion."

Edward rolled his eyes and accepted the restoration of Massimirano I. How could it be so simple?

The constitutionalists, conservatives, and Catholic groups are fine, but it doesn’t matter if there is an empty emperor, but for the republicans, it’s a catastrophe.

It is equivalent to denying their legitimacy from beginning to end, and political shocks can make President Juarez go away.

The choice that seems to have paid the least price is actually the most unacceptable choice for the republican government. This condition is put forward, whether the Mexicans accept it or not, the Mexican government will split.

The conditions proposed by Minister Compton were entirely developed to intensify internal conflicts in the Mexican government.

Other political groups will use this as an excuse to criticize the republican government for its own selfishness and to ignore the national interests.

No matter what choice President Juarez makes, there will be a lot of trouble. If such obvious targeting is not related to the Habsburg family, then there will be a ghost.

Now Masimirino I is already alone, even if he restores his throne again, he is just an emperor. There will be no one to be a bird for him, and he will not be able to bring any benefits to Austria. This worthless condition is clearly aimed at the republican government.

Edward said nothing more. President Juarez led the rebel army to overthrow the rule of Masimirino I and slapped the Habsburg family in the face.

Now that people are going to take revenge, he deserves to be unlucky. When it comes to this level, Edward doesn't want to join in.

Deep down, he had begun to observe silence for President Juarez. Who made him unlucky to catch up with the heyday of the Habsburg dynasty.
