Chapter forty-fifth, the federal government's counterattack(1/2)

The French unbridled expansion of their power in Mexico naturally aroused dissatisfaction from all walks of life in Mexico, and Masimirino I was also involved.

Massimilano, who did not notice the change in identity, took measures to intensify the conflict and broke through this layer of window paper.

He directly protested to Napoleon III: the French army acted recklessly and violated Mexico's sovereignty, and the result was naturally tragic.

From the perspective of France, these French troops' actions are undoubtedly in their interests.

Napoleon III, who was good at changing faces, ignored the protests. Instead, accused Masimirino and the Mexican government of not having management skills and not even maintaining national stability, and the French had to do it for their own sake.

Both sides were hitting the key points and fighting. As internal struggle intensified, the republican rebels led by Juarez escaped.

You know, when Juarez led the Republican guerrillas in the most crisis, only hundreds of people were left, hiding in the deep mountains and forests to survive.

Masimirino did not realize the harm of the rebels. He pardoned many republican political prisoners and asked these people to bring a letter to Juarez.

He also promised in the letter that as long as he acknowledges his throne and abandons armed rebellion, he will pardon all rebels.

Well, it is actually Masimirino who admires patriots like Juarez, trying to solve problems with peaceful means and absorb these people for their own use.

Deep in the canyon, the Mexican Free Army Command, Juarez warmly welcomed his comrades who had escaped.

A middle-aged man said, "Your Excellency President, this is a letter from Masimirino to you."

There is no doubt that Masimirino I's approach did not achieve the expected results, and the pardoned political prisoner still did not agree with him as the emperor, let alone the so-called gratitude.

The reason is very realistic. Massimirino cannot meet their interests and needs, and both sides are destined to be enemies.

In the eyes of many people, this political pardon is still a stain on their lives, and people will doubt the loyalty of revolution. Only by erasing the emperor can it be washed away.

After reading the letter, Juarez sneered and said, "This idiot is dreaming in the daytime and wants us to surrender."

After saying that, Juarez glanced at everyone and saw everyone's reaction. The result was very satisfied with him, and no one advocated surrender.

A close confidant suggested: "His Excellency the President, this is also an opportunity. If we can take the opportunity to kill the government forces outside, our crisis will be lifted."

Juarez nodded, the French and Mexican government forces joined forces to encircle them, and the Free Army was compressed in an opportune place.

Don’t look at the vast area of ​​the canyon, but the local population is not large, and most of them are Indian tribes.

Juarez was also an Indian, and most of the Free Army were Indians, so he survived. However, there were no fewer conflicts between Indian tribes than white people, and it was not so easy to fool cannon fodder.

Most of the people who can persist until now are his confidants, but the loyalty of these Republicans who have just been pardoned cannot be determined.

Juarez encouraged morale and said, "Don't worry, the difficulties are only temporary. The American Civil War is about to end. No matter who is the winner, he does not want to see a Mexican emperor.

Soon we can get a steady stream of weapons and ammunition to drive out the French invaders and overthrow the idiotic emperor.”

There is no doubt that they have now hooked up with both the north and the south. However, due to the civil war, both sides did not provide them with support.

The Southern government did not dare to offend the great powers and did not make a clear reply. Although the Northern government publicly opposed Masimirino's succession, it did not want to stimulate Britain, France and Ossi.

Don’t look at Masimirino, it seems that he was just the French who pushed him to the top. In fact, Britain, Olympic and Western countries also expressed their support.

However, the French sent troops directly and occupied a dominant position in Mexico. Massimireno's political methods were not up to standard and he was unable to use the Three Kingdoms to check and balance the French.

This is also one of the reasons why Juarez is unwilling to compromise. A political idiot is destined to be unsteady. If Masimirino was a hero, it would be impossible for such a naive thing to do.

The pardon of political prisoners undoubtedly strengthened the organizational capabilities of the Free Army. Perhaps these people could not handle guns and fight, but they could deceive more people to rebel.

...

News of the collapse of the Vienna system was conveyed to the United States as quickly as possible. President Lincoln breathed a sigh of relief that changes in the situation in Europe would inevitably restrain the energy of various countries and give them the opportunity to unify the United States.

Soon he looked bitter again. No matter how the situation in Europe changes, at least he must first kill the southern government!

However, the battle he carefully prepared turned into a war of attrition with the Southern government. On average, one regiment was reduced every day, which had lasted for several months, but still could not see a chance to win.

Even if the northern government has a manpower advantage, it has dropped from 1.65:1 before the outbreak of the war to 1.3:1 now, and this advantage is no longer obvious.

The butterfly effect is strong, and the weakening of population advantage directly leads to a significant decline in the potential of Northern War.

If Lincoln hadn't insisted on implementing the abolition law and the homestead law, which mobilized everyone's enthusiasm for joining the army, the Southern Government would have won now.

Secretary of State Safar said: "His Excellency the President, based on the intelligence analysis we have received, the chances of war between the Russians and the Kingdom of Prussia are as high as seven levels.

Most of the United Kingdom and France want to support Prussia, Spain has unclear positions, and the Austrians should be very conflicted.

The Vienna government wanted the Russians to fail and increase their voice in the Russian-Austrian alliance; but did not want to see the Prussian Kingdom grow bigger and increase the difficulty for them to unify the German region.

Once the war breaks out, Britain and France will definitely cause trouble to the Russians in other regions, and the support of the Tsarist government for us may stop immediately."

Safar's words undoubtedly told Lincoln not to expect the situation in Europe to get out of control, and countries will give up their intervention in the American Civil War.

The most deeply involved in this European change is the breakdown of the relationship between Britain, France and Russia, and there is no internal conflict between Britain, France, Olympiad and the four countries interfering in the alliance.

Even if the situation in Europe involves their energy, the forces of various countries in the Americas can also interfere in this war. After all, the strength of the north and the south is too close, and the addition of external forces can break the balance at any time.

After hesitating for a while, Lincoln made the worst plan.

"Create public opinion, emphasize the interference of Britain, France, Olympiad and Western countries in our internal affairs, and put the responsibility for the continuous civil war on them!

At the same time, we contact the revolutionary parties and independent organizations we support, and now we need their efforts. We do not seek results from them, but as long as we can distract all countries."

There is no reason why the United States attracts people to hate. After 1848, the revolutionary parties and independent organizations of European countries basically met here.

For example: Hungarian Independence Organization, French Revolutionary Party, Spanish Revolutionary Party, Irish Independence Organization, Italian Charcoal Party... These institutions have received a lot of funding from Americans.

Of course, the US government in this era is not so domineering and dare not give these organizations financial assistance directly. Most of them are raised by donations from the United States.

In any case, the US federal government still provided them with help. Otherwise, organizations like the Hungarian Independent Organization that have lost their foundation would have long disappeared into the long river of history.

Who made their Hungarian nation only have 600,000? Half of them joined the labor reform team and contributed to the transportation construction in Austria.

However, the lower-class people in Hungary have transformed into Austrians. Regardless of their bloodline and cultural traditions, they think they are Austrians, that is, Austrians.

There is no way, when they were Hungarians, they were serfs and had no human rights in the Hungarian Republic.

Even though this illegal organization has only existed for a few months, it is still enough for publicity.

Even the previous serfdom was the ruler of the Hungarian Kingdom. Anyway, it had nothing to do with the great emperor. It was the emperor who abolished the serfdom and gave everyone land.

The large number of people at the bottom did not buy it, and the senior leaders were caught in the midst of the Great Revolution. Under normal circumstances, the Hungarian independent organization should have disappeared, but it was still supported by the Americans.

Perhaps this is just a habit, but it also made the Vienna government very unhappy. Austria's participation in the interfering in the American Civil War and eradicating the Hungarian Independence Organization was one of the reasons why Franz convinced the government.

Similarly, after the failure of the revolution, the French Revolutionary Party also went into exile to the United States for political asylum. Although the Spanish Revolutionary Party is still fighting against the government, it is also indispensable for financial support from the United States.

Not to mention the Irish Independent Organization, the Irish people almost moved here, so the independent organization naturally followed, which was the largest number of people among these organizations.

Secretary of State Safar opposes: "His Excellency President, these organizations have limited strength, and at most they will be a little trouble, and it will be difficult to play a lot of role.

Moreover, if you do this, the consequences will be very serious. If you do it properly, it will anger countries and make our situation worse."

It’s not that Safar looked down on these organizations, but except Spain, Britain, France and Austria are now very stable and do not have the conditions for a revolution to break out.

After hesitating for a moment, President Lincoln smiled bitterly and said, "It has come to this point. Whether we do it or not, they will stand opposite us.

Of course, if we lose this battle, maybe they become our allies again, who knows?

Make things more obscure, and don't come forward to the federal government, and find financial supporters who support them to force them to take action.

Whether it is launching an uprising, assassinating political leaders, or organizing a march, just distracting the attention of various countries.

I remember that the Italian charcoal burning party had planned the assassination case in an attempt to provoke a French-Austrian war, and we can also suggest that various organizations follow suit.”

The bottom line does not exist. If it can disrupt all countries and relieve their pressure, President Lincoln doesn't mind doing more outrageously.

Secretary of State Safar nodded, and at this point he could only take risks.

Anyway, the worst situation is nothing more than the division of the United States. With the intervention of the great powers, the possibility of US reunification is very low. If you don’t take risks, there is no possibility at all.

...

Delaware, a luxury house in Hungary independent organization is holding a meeting. It is better to say that it is the financial backers behind the Hungarian independent organization and hold them accountable.

Aleste, an American Hungarian capitalist, asked: "Stephen, you have been doing so many years, and you have not made any noise at all. Have you forgotten your former oath - to revive the great Hungary?"

Stephen was the one who missed the net after the failure of the Hungarian War of Independence. He visited the Ottoman Empire for help and escaped the Vienna government's liquidation.

All the senior leaders died, and the middle-level revolutionary party like him became leaders. Later, the Ottoman Empire was timid and did not dare to continue to support them, so they were forced to go into exile to the United States.

After years of influence, the once passionate young man Stephen no longer exists. Now, as the head of the Hungarian Revolutionary Party, he has become a politician.

Stephen explained calmly: "Mr. Yarest, Hungary independence cannot be accomplished overnight.

Mr. Kosut failed because he was too impatient.

The Austrians are still strong now, and after the Great Revolution, Hungary was divided into seven. The Vienna government took advantage of the checks and balances of ethnic minorities in Hungary. It is difficult for us to launch an uprising to succeed now."

Yarest sneered: "I also know why that idiot Kosut failed, but can you just settle for the second best?

Even if you cannot completely independent, you can't get a state seat in the new Holy Roman Empire? It's really not possible, you can get a provincial status!

Even you don’t need an armed uprising, you just mobilize the people to take to the streets to marche and demonstrate. Step by step, the Vienna government will make concessions.”

There are circles where there are people. The Hungarian nation has almost zero influence in the United States and cannot provide him with help. As a successful capitalist, Yarest's moral integrity is naturally not high.

In order to develop better, he chose to cooperate with the federal government and act as the black hand to manipulate Hungarian independent organizations.

From his evaluation of Kosut, we can see that he does not have any respect for the Hungarian independent organization. He is completely on the standpoint of the superiors and issuing orders.

As for whether Hungary can be independent, what does it have to do with him? From the perspective of personal interests, Yarest would rather Hungary be unable to be independent so that he can continue to maintain his current unique position.

The attentions made now are just to create chaos in Austria. It doesn't matter whether the Vienna government will compromise. As long as the Hungarian independent organization makes a comeback, he will hand in the federal government.
To be continued...
