Chapter 514： Unfair showdown (1/2)

There is no doubt that Compton ’s conditions were not acceptable to the Mexican Republican government. Three options, they dare not choose any one.

If it is possible to compromise on the issue of imperialism, why should President Juarez bring a man-made counterattack? You know, when Massimilino I succeeded, he pardoned the political prisoner and gave him a high position.

At this time, if you accept the restoration of Massimilino I, it is a complete negation of the revolution of this decade. This uprising is not an anti-imperialist or anti-feudal, but a political seizure of power.

There is no need to consider the compensation, if there is so much money. The Republicans have long used force to calm the opposition in the country, so why should we need to compromise?

Fighting against Austrians is also not something the Republican government can afford. He has fought with the French, and what level of military power the major powers have, President Juarez still knows.

Under normal circumstances, 10,000 French troops are often chased by hundreds of thousands of rebels, and the picture is simply scary. Except in exceptional circumstances, the insurgents have rarely achieved a decent victory.

It can be seen from the data that from the invasion of the French army in 1861 to the withdrawal of the French army in 1871, the two sides fought hundreds of times, and the number of French killed was not more than 10,000.

The so-called heavy damage to France, the French insurgents defeated and fled, and that was all needed for political propaganda. In fact, it has always been the French who beat them.

It was only that Napoleon III's patience was exhausted, and he recognized the essence of Massimilino I who could not support the wall, and felt that the investment and harvest were not proportional, and he stopped the loss.

If the Mexican Republican government really announced it so badly, they would not be able to pay it back. The French can be defeated. Are they afraid of collecting debts by force?

The Russians are a typical example. After the tsarist government announced that it had settled its accounts, in addition to protests and economic sanctions in European countries, did anyone propose to collect debts by force?

It is not the kindness of the creditors, but mainly that the pay is not directly proportional to the gain. The price to attack the Russian Empire is unknown, how many times it is debt.

Everyone is very amicable in their choice of negotiations, such as deferred payment, in-kind compensation, debt interest reduction, etc. These methods are very flexible.

Weak countries have no diplomacy, and they have no weight to speak without strength. Now the Mexican government has to accept the political blackmail of Austria. Even if they know that Compton's request is excessive, they still have to sit down and talk slowly.

Ask for a price all day, and pay off when you land.

President Juarez knows very well that after ousting Massimilino I, the Vienna government will inevitably be hostile to the Mexican government. For a long time to come, relations between the two countries cannot be normalized.

They just didn't expect that the Austrians would play like this. These Franz paid attention to eating, but still deceived many people. Suddenly, the lower limit was lowered. Naturally, Juarez did not respond.

You know, if these victims knew that they had become Austrian citizens, there would be no subsequent tragedy. As long as the identity of the foreign citizen is shown, the Republican Army will naturally be innocent.

This point British citizens, French citizens ... can testify. The Mexican Republican Government Army is also a force that has always understood the rules and treats its international friends with absolute kindness.

President Juarez asked eagerly: ”How is the connection? They refuse to ...”

There is another way to get rid of the current predicament, and that is to change those ”Austrian citizens”, perhaps to give up accountability, so the reason for Austrian blackmail no longer exists.

The Republicans are still very experienced in this area. They are not just fooling around, looking for some eloquent people to do ideological work. Patriotism is a good banner for them to take care of the big picture.

The people were dizzy first, and then paid for the losses. This time the Republican government was generous and gave them several times more money.

In any case, the money used to buy these people is much less expensive than accepting blackmail from the Austrians.

The middle-aged man answered with his head down: ”The situation is not optimistic. Most people are hesitating. They are worried ...”

Waiting for him to finish his speech, President Juarez waved his hand and said, ”Okay, I know. You are tired too, this is just a night away, let's go and rest!”

If the strengths of the two countries are equal, then you can use this as a bit of an essay. Unfortunately, the gap between Mexico and Austria is too great.

Failure to change everything is tantamount to useless work. The great powers are willing to explain the reason to you. That's interesting enough. If you want to play on your head, people will directly change bayonet to speak.

President Huarez had never expected that this little trick would succeed. No matter how good they are, the seeds of hatred have been planted during the cleansing period.

Talking about patriotism? They love the Mexican Empire, not the Mexican Republic. As the supporters of Massimilino I, it was their pursuit if the emperor was restored.
