At the Vienna Palace, looking at the telegram in his hand, Franz didn't know what to say. It seemed a bit out of the way to describe it as "a man lie at home, and the pot comes from the sky".

This time, Austria made it himself. If the negotiation location was not in the Austrian embassy, ​​no matter how President Juarez died, it had nothing to do with Austria.

Leaving the responsibility to the Minister Compton? This is not right. He is doing his best to do his duty. Putting the negotiation location in the Austrian embassy is also to gain an advantage in the negotiation and strive for greater benefits for Austria.

President Juarez's death was just an accident, and Minister Compton had no responsibility and was not responsible for this matter.

Now a slaughter is coming from the sky. No matter how you explain it, someone will accuse Austria of poisoning President Juares; or Masimirino I of the evil moves in revenge.

In fact, Franz was not prepared to kill President Juarez from beginning to end. His existence was not a threat to Austria, and the value of keeping him was greater than killing him.

Not to mention Masimirino I, if he had the ability to assassinate President Juarez in negotiations, he would not have fallen into his current land.

Prime Minister Felix proposed: "Your Majesty, if this happens, we should withdraw our troops from Mexico. At this time, it is morally unreasonable to hold them accountable."

Franz nodded. No matter how sufficient the reason was before, a president who died in Mexico was in the Austrian embassy, ​​could be explained.

If you continue to be aggressive, Austria's international image will be over. This is inconsistent with the long-term business philosophy of the Vienna government. Even shameless British people cannot do such things.

"Order Governor Hummel to withdraw his troops, and by the way, with the embassy and the expatriates, Mexico will soon be in chaos, so we will not go to this muddy water."

The process is not important, the final goal has been achieved. Juarez suddenly died, and the Republicans were bound to fight for the successor.

Juarez was president more than ten years ago and his term ended long ago. During the past ten years, everyone was fighting guerrillas, so it was naturally impossible to hold elections.

Since the overthrow of Masimirino I, the Mexican election has been in preparation. If President Juarez does not die, then he is likely to be re-elected.

Unfortunately, there is no if in reality. Without Juarez, Mexico will never have a second politician who can live in the market.

The central government lacks prestige, internal conflicts cannot be suppressed, and international forces will tinker with it again, and it is difficult for the civil war to break out.

Perhaps in the near future, the United States' North and South Song Festival will make a brilliant debut in Mexico. Both the Union and the United States want to support a Mexican government that is pro-prosperous and enhance its influence in North America.

Britain, France and the Austrians are not the ones who are willing to be lonely. It is true that the French are strategically shrinking, but as Mexican creditors, they want to be low-key, but reality does not allow it!

Both Britain and Austria were idle and had problems if they didn't do anything. I don't know why, when the overseas colonization and expansion, Austria was very seriously affected by the John Bull, and the method of doing things became more and more skillful.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg analyzed: "Your Majesty, it is enough to give up Mexico City. We have occupied several southern states in Mexico, so we can slow down first.

The Austrian Central American colonies have always had territorial disputes with Mexico. These issues need to be resolved slowly. We can wait until Mexico chooses a new government before discussing it."

Austria must make a gesture to the outside world for President Juarez's death. Withdrawal from Mexico has become inevitable, but how to withdraw will test technology.

The troops will not be able to work in vain, but at least they will have to recover the cost of sending troops. It will delay the time and wait for the Mexican civil war to break out and cause the established fact of occupying southern territory.

Anyway, as long as Mexico does not elect the government recognized by Austria, it can continue to occupy it. It doesn’t take long, it only takes three or five years to be swallowed.

This is a realistic need. Planter owners in Central America have long wanted to expand, and now they also need to calm their emotions.

The Vienna government needs them to maintain a certain level of strength and can hinder Americans from reaching out to Central America. As long as Austria still occupies Central America for one day, the Panama Canal will not be wanted to start construction.

After thinking a little, Franz made a decision: "Don't take the government's occupation, Austria has never invaded Mexico.

The southern part of Mexico is just a bunch of civilians who are unwilling to accept the rule of the Mexican government. The Mexican government is incompetent and cannot even control its own people. We can only express our regrets."

Once the bottom line is put down, Franz is not afraid to pretend to be stupid. Anyway, as long as Austria does not occupy Mexico's territory openly, the international community cannot say anything.

If the Mexican government has the ability, it can also send troops to take back these areas. Of course, it must succeed at one time. If the mob fails, it will expand. If it fails once and loses a few more states, it can only be blamed for their incompetence.

After three to five years, the storm of this incident has passed, and these regions have joined the Austrian Central American colonies.

This is the rules of the game. When it is time to be hypocritical, you must be hypocritical. As long as you get the actual interests, it doesn’t matter if you have more formalities.

Most of the gains from this expansion were from the Austrian planters. Since they received the gains, they had to pay a price, and the responsibility to rule the local area fell on their shoulders.

Mexico is difficult to rule, and the French did not swallow them. Franz did not think Austria could swallow it in one bite.

Now Franz decided to delegate power, and the colonists in the Central American region of Austria could eat as much as they can. The extent to which they could expand was entirely based on their own strength, and the consequences of the failure of expansion were also borne by themselves.

...

In Mexico City, President Juarez's death has caused a lot of storm. Under the organization of those who are interested, the crowds of marching and demonstrators have surrounded the Austrian Embassy.

The tolerance for the dead is higher than that of the living. President Juarez was criticized before he died. Now that he is dead, his image suddenly becomes taller, as if he has become a saint overnight.

The Compton Minister in the embassy had been restless, and the crowds of protesting outside bombed in turn 24 hours a day. The slogans were yelling earth-shaking, and a dog in the embassy area was shaking.

In order to prevent the marching people from attacking the embassy area, the Minister Compton had already transferred a battalion of troops from outside the city. A cordon had been set up outside and Gatlin was set up at the gate.

This is not a big deal. In just a few days, many incidents have occurred, and the dozens of corpses parked outside are evidence.

In this regard, it is wise for Franz to order the evacuation of the embassy. Otherwise, the personal safety of the embassy staff would be difficult to guarantee.

Just when the Compton Minister was at a loss, a young officer took a telegram and said in his ear: "Mr. Minister, this is the latest order of the Vienna government."

He grabbed the telegram and the date on it was five days ago. Compton didn't care about the time. He was speechless when he saw the news that the superior ordered the evacuation of Mexico.

Even the embassy was not retained, obviously this was to give up Mexico completely. The embassy area that he had worked hard to manage for several years was abandoned like this. Minister Compton was full of all kinds of feelings.

After a moment of pause, Minister Compton sternly said: "Notify the Mexican government that we will evacuate and order them to disperse the crowd within three hours, otherwise they will bear all consequences."

If they are about to leave, they naturally don’t have to worry about anything. The great powers have never lacked tough measures. If the Mexican government continues to be ignorant of life and death, it would be okay to slaughter Mexico City before leaving.

Failure to annex Mexico does not mean that Austria is afraid of their strength. It is mainly because it is easy to defeat the government army, but it is difficult to rule Mexico.

Mexico's territory has been shrinking again and again, and it is still nearly two million square kilometers. Such a large territory is mostly mountains. If you want to clean it up, you can't do it without hundreds of thousands of troops.

This cost has far exceeded the profit. The French gave up Mexico because they saw this clearly and were unwilling to continue filling the hole.

It's different now. Austria is leaving anyway. Even if it makes people angry, Minister Compton will not feel any pressure.

He knew how the protesters outside came. The Mexican government did not dare to cause trouble in Austria directly, so he pushed the people forward and hid behind to watch the fun.

The incident has not occurred, not because the Compton Minister was afraid, mainly because it was unnecessary. On the surface, this is causing trouble for Austria, but in fact the biggest trouble will be left to the Mexican government.

If you have experience in governing, the Mexican government would never do this. Public opinion is a double-edged sword. When Austria evacuates, the bursting public opinion is to kill the sharp blade of the republican government.

To put it bluntly, from the moment President Juarez's autopsy report was released, it was determined that Austria's failure to perform political blackmail.

The Mexican government is doing useless work from beginning to end. Even if there are no protesters, the Vienna government will give up on Mexico.

After receiving the news of Austria's evacuation, the Mexican government rarely had a high efficiency. This time, all major factions within the government unified their opinions and quickly sent the plague god away.

The sequelae broke out, and there was a fierce conflict between the demonstrators and the police who came to disperse the crowd. Even the protesting organizations could not control the people who were in high spirits.

Three hours passed quickly, and the outside of the embassy area was already in chaos. Seeing the Mexican government itself suppressing the marching people, Compton just sneered.

Even if he had to move, it wouldn't be done in a few hours. He still had time to watch the fun. As for the trouble, Compton was not worried at all, and the Mexican government was still worried that they would not leave?

Anyone who dares to stop the evacuation of the Austrians is the biggest enemy of the Mexican government. The Mexican government, which lacks experience in governing, does not know that Austria's withdrawal is just the beginning of trouble.

The withdrawal of troops is being carried out on this side, but the military operations are being stepped up on the other side. The colonists who have been suffocated will not give up this rare opportunity to expand.
