Chapter 84, Unfair Duel
There is no doubt that the conditions offered by the Compton Minister were not acceptable to the Mexican Republic government. They dare not choose any of the three choices.
If we can compromise on the issue of imperialism, why should President Juarez bring people to rebel? You should know that Masimirino pardoned the political prisoner when he succeeded to the throne and promised him a high position.
If we accept the restoration of Masimirino at this time, it will be a complete denial of the past ten years of revolution. This uprising was not an anti-imperialist or feudal state, but a political seizure of power.
There is no need to consider the compensation. If there was so much money, the Republicans had already settled the opposition forces in the country by force, so why should they compromise?
Fighting a war with the Austrians is not something that the republican government can bear. After fighting with the French, President Juarez still knows what the war power of the army is.
Under normal circumstances, ten thousand French troops often chase more than one hundred thousand rebels to fight, and the scene is simply unaware of the scene. Unless under special circumstances, the rebels have almost never achieved decent victory.
From the data, we can see that from the beginning of the French invasion in 1861 to the withdrawal of the French in 1871, the two sides fought hundreds of times, and the number of French killed only 10,000.
The so-called severe damage to France, and the rebels defeated the French and fled, was all political propaganda. In fact, the French have always suppressed them.
However, Napoleon III's patience was exhausted, and he realized the essence of Massimilano's mud that could not be supported by the wall. He felt that investment and gain were not proportional to that, so he stopped the loss.
If the Mexican Republican government had been so powerful, they would have long since refuted their debts. The French could defeat them, but were they still afraid of collecting debts by force?
The Russians are typical examples. After the Tsarist government announced that it was against debt, have any European countries proposed to collect debts by force in addition to protests and economic sanctions?
It’s not that the creditors are kind, but that the efforts are not proportional to the returns. I don’t know how many times the debt is the price to pay for attacking the Russian Empire.
Everyone has made a very tacit choice to negotiate, such as postponing payment, physical compensation, debt reduction and exemption, etc., and everyone has used these methods very flexibly.
A weak country has no diplomacy, and no strength to speak has no weight. Now the Mexican government has to accept Austria's political blackmail. Even though they know that Compton's demands are too much, they still have to sit down and talk slowly.
满天要价,落地还钱.
President Juarez is very clear that after ousting Masimirino I, the Vienna government will inevitably be hostile to the Mexican government, and relations between the two countries will not be normalized for a long time in the future.
But they didn't expect that the Austrians would play like this. Franz paid attention to eating behavior and deceived many people. Suddenly, the lower limit was lowered, and Juarez naturally did not react.
You should know that if these victims had known that they had become Austrian citizens, there would not have been any tragedy later. As long as they were shown as the identity of foreign citizens, the Republican Army would naturally be unsuccessful.
British citizens and French citizens... can all testify to this point. The Mexican Republican Government Army is also a force that has always understood the rules and is absolutely kind to international friends.
President Juarez asked anxiously: "How is the contact? Are they willing to..."
If you want to get rid of the current predicament, there is another way, that is, to make those "Austrian citizens" change their words, perhaps to give up the accountability, so the reason for Austrian blackmail will no longer exist.
The Republicans are still very experienced in this regard. They just fool them and find some eloquent people to do ideological work. Patriotism is a good banner to let them take the overall situation into consideration.
First, he fooled the person and then paid for the loss. This time the Republican government was generous and gave several times more money.
In any case, the money used to buy these people is much less than accepting blackmail from Austrians.
The middle-aged man lowered his head and replied: "The situation is not optimistic, most people are hesitating, they are worried..."
Before he could finish his words, President Juarez waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand. You are tired too. This is another night. Go and rest!"
If the two countries have equal strength, then you can still use this as a matter of writing. Unfortunately, the gap between Mexico and Austria is too big.
If you can't let all your words change, it's like doing useless work. It's great to be willing to reason with you. If you want to be clever on this, people will just change the bayonet to speak.
President Juarez had no hope that this little trick would succeed. No matter how nice they said, the seeds of hatred had been planted during the Great Purge.
Talking about patriotism? People love the Mexican Empire, not the Mexican Republic. As the supporter of Massimirino I, it would be their pursuit to restore the emperor.
Now that Austria has come forward to intervene, they are too happy, how can they speak for the Republican government?
Besides, now everyone is an Austrian citizen. If you suddenly change your words, wouldn’t it be a treason? The usual trick of fooling people is already a dead end here.
It’s just that doing it is better than not doing it. As long as these people accept compensation, they have more reasons to bargain at the negotiating table.
President Juarez no longer cared about his personal honor and disgrace. He had made the worst plan since he was determined to overthrow Masimirino I's rule.
The Austrians deliberately targeted the Republican government this time and directly hit the weakness of the republican government. They could not accept the restoration of Masimirino I. No matter what the final result was, they were destined to be criticized.
Ordinary people can't see that an extra rubber stamp on their heads is a political disaster. They will only take it for granted that Juarez will sell out national interests for his own rights.
At present, the constitutionalists have begun to promote this. Although they are also very disgusted with Masimirino I, it doesn’t matter. After the restoration, the emperor can also abdicate, just change someone to take office.
No matter what, Mexico cannot be without an emperor. Otherwise, how can these nobles protect their own interests?
Needless to think, President Juarez knows that this statement will soon become the mainstream of society and that political opponents will not give up on this opportunity to take the lead.
There is only one way to turn the tables, that is, the Republicans won the ultimate struggle for power and gained the right to speak in society, so that President Juarez could be whitewashed.
Politics is so cruel. President Juarez's misfortune is mainly because the enemy is too strong and it is not a fair battle at all.
Now he is not facing Masimirino I, but the Habsburg family behind the scenes. Masimirino did too badly in Mexico, and Franz had to come out and deal with it.
For the sake of family reputation, there must be a worse "Mexican government" to set off. Then we can blame it: This is the Mexican people too bad, not the Emperor of the Habsburg family.
Masimirino's personal cultivation is no problem, this is the only highlight, so President Juarez, who is the target of setting off, is destined to be an "infamous and ambitious man who disrupts Mexico."
If Juarez could be twenty or thirty years younger, then there might be a chance to lead Mexico to complete internal reforms, build a middle-class power, and wash away this stain.
However, his body is no longer good. Once President Juarez falls and the Republicans are unable to hold on, internal conflicts in Mexico will erupt in full swing.
When the Mexican civil war broke out, it was time to whitewash Massimileno I. Of course, Franz was also shameless. It was impossible for him to lie with his eyes open and he would gild Massimileno.
Like a wise and powerful man, a magnificent and magnificent demeanor, he follows advice like a stream, eases his internal and external affairs, works hard to govern, and appoints talents to innovate... Masimirino is not involved in any of these idioms, and it is almost the same to put them on himself.
Then there will be a lot of evidence that Masimirino was a kind emperor, and the main reason for the collapse of the government was: "Mexican people are impure and there are too many traitors."
This is not useless work, but also has profound political significance. If Massimirino I fails, it means that the education of the Habsburg family fails.
This will make people think of what if such a desperate emperor appears in Austria in the future? Some people will want to prepare for the future, which will create opportunities for the messy spread of ideas.
If they are used by ambitious people, they will advocate the British constitutional monarchy, and will even go further, fool the people, create public opinion, and use public opinion to force the monarch to give up his power.
The constitutional monarchy of the British in the original time and space was so messed up. At first, it was just to limit the monarch's rights and prevent the king from doing anything recklessly, and finally turned the king into an eraser seal.
Don’t look at the monarchy that plays the dominant position in the game between the monarch and the ministers, but the ministers have been replacing one batch after another. The monarch only needs to produce one waste to throw away all his advantages.
In order to curb this situation, Franz is still making preparations. Before the system is built, any matter that may shake the imperial power must be extinguished in the cradle.
Against this backdrop, Mexico's only way to rise is to hang Massimirino I on its head and act as a rubber stamp to support the facade.
Otherwise, the better they do, the more miserable they will die in the end. Once they show signs of development, they will immediately face the dimensionality reduction attack.
Franz's true thoughts were not revealed, so naturally no one would know.
In the eyes of the outside world, it was nothing more than that Masimirino I was kicked off, causing the Habsburg family to lose their lives. The head of Franz took his anger to the Mexican Republic government.
