Chapter 516： Different paths (1/2)

Vienna Palace, looking at the telegram in his hands, Franz didn't know what to say. Described as ”people lie at home, the pot comes from the sky”, it seems to be a play.

This time, it was Austria that made it up. If the place of negotiation is not in the Austrian embassy, ​​no matter how President Juarez died, it has nothing to do with Austria.

Throw responsibility to Compton Minister? This is not right, people are doing their due diligence. Placing the place of negotiation in the Austrian embassy is also to gain an advantage in the negotiations and fight for greater benefits for Austria.

President Juarez's death was only an accident, and Minister Compton had no responsibility and was not responsible for it.

Now a black pot has fallen from the sky, no matter how to explain it, there will be some people accused: Austria poisoned President Juarez; or that: Massimiliano I was a poison hand in revenge.

In fact, Franz was not prepared to kill President Juarez. His presence is not a threat to Austria, and it is more valuable to keep him than to kill him.

Not to mention Massimilino I, if he was able to assassinate President Juarez in negotiations, then he would not fall into the current field.

Prime Minister Felix proposed: ”Your Majesty, this happened, and we should withdraw our troops from Mexico. At this time, they should be held accountable again, and morally justified.”

Franz nodded, no matter how good the reason was before, now that a dead Mexican president in the Austrian embassy can explain it.

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 Hummer to withdraw. By the way, even the embassy and the diaspora will withdraw. Mexico will soon be in chaos. We will not go to this muddy water.”

The process is not important, the ultimate goal has been achieved. Juarez's sudden death, the Republicans struggled for the successor's place.

Juarez was the president more than ten years ago, and his term has ended long ago. In the middle of this decade, everyone has been fighting guerrillas. Naturally, elections are impossible.

Since the overthrow of Massimiliano I, the Mexican election is in preparation. If President Juarez does not die, his chances of re-election are very high.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing. Without Juarez, Mexico will never have a second place to live in.

The central government lacks prestige, internal contradictions cannot be suppressed, and international forces are reignited. It is difficult to imagine that the civil war will not erupt.

Perhaps in the near future, the North-South Song Society of the United States will make its debut in Mexico. Both the Confederate and the United States want to support a Mexican government that is close to them and increase their influence in North America.

Britain, France, Austria and the Three Kingdoms are not lonely masters. The French are right in shrinking their strategy. As Mexican creditors, they want to keep a low profile, but they are not allowed in reality!

Both England and Austria are so busy that they have problems if they don't do things. I don't know why, during the expansion of overseas colonies, Austria was very seriously affected by John Bull, and the methods of doing things became more and more skilled.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg analyzed: ”His Majesty, it is enough to abandon Mexico City. We have already occupied several states in southern Mexico, and we can start slowly.

The Austrian Central American colonies have always had territorial disputes with Mexico. These issues need to be slowly negotiated and resolved. We can wait until Mexico chooses a new government to discuss. ”

With the death of President Juarez, Austria must make a gesture to the outside world. Withdrawing troops from Mexico has become inevitable, but how to withdraw must test technology.

The labor division can't do anything for nothing, at least it has to recover the cost of sending troops. Hold on for a while, waiting for the outbreak of the Mexican Civil War to establish the established facts of occupation of the southern territories.

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

This is a practical need. Planters in Austrian Central America have long wanted to expand, and now they need to calm their emotions.

The Vienna government needs them to maintain a level of strength that will prevent Americans from reaching out to Central America. As long as Austria still dominates Central America for a day, don't want to start the Panama Canal.

After a little thought, Franz made the decision: ”Don't take the banner of the government, Austria has never invaded Mexico.

Southern Mexico is just a bunch of civilians who are unwilling to accept the Mexican government's rule. The Mexican government is incompetent and can't even control its own people. We can only express regret. ”

Once he lowered the bottom line, Franz was not afraid to pretend to be stupid. Anyway, as long as Austria clearly does not occupy Mexican territory, the international community cannot say anything.

If the Mexican government is capable, it can send troops to take back these areas. Of course, one-time success is required, and if it fails, the mob will expand. If you fail once and lose a few more states, you can only blame them for their incompetence.

After three or five years, the storm of this incident has passed, and these areas will join the Austrian Central American colonies.

This is the rule of the game. When it is hypocritical, it must be hypocritical. As long as the substantive benefits are in hand, it's okay to have more cuts.
