Leisure time is always short. The Cuban crisis has just been settled and something happened in Mexico again. This time the Americans are not responsible, they just smuggled arms to the rebels.

Even if they don’t do this, others will do it. Excellent arms dealers sell weapons to the enemy.

As long as you have money, you don’t have to worry about not being able to buy weapons. If you can’t buy them, it must be that you are not rich enough.

The Mexican civil war has been fighting for many years. In the early stage, the government forces suppressed the rebels, and now it is a turning point.

In the autumn of 1868, the Mexican government forces and the French army joined forces to encircle and suppress the rebels. The war was originally a sure victory, but was eventually overturned by the rebels.

After a detailed study, there is no need to go into it. To sum up, it is: the rebels carried civilians as hostages, and Masimirano I ordered the troops to be banned from shooting and killing civilians, and then they were defeated in a gorgeous battle.

The Mexican government forces were timid and tricked their allies by the way. The French army did not expect that there would be threats on the flanks, and the result was heavy losses.

There are about a thousand people with a number of people. Now Napoleon III has claimed compensation from the Mexican government and they are responsible for it.

Franz has now received a letter of help from his younger brother Massimiliano, basically complaining about how unreasonable the French were and asking him for help.

Fortunately, this was a private message and it was not sent directly to the Vienna government, otherwise it would be a shame. It is estimated that Masimirino knew it was a loss, so he did not send out formal diplomatic documents.

Franz was not worried about the French reaction. Napoleon III regretted it too late and it was impossible to return the goods.

Since they want to support a middle school boy as an emperor, they naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences. Overall, their investment in Mexico is still in a state of loss.

The plunder of wealth sounds good, but Mexico's civil war continued, and production was severely damaged, so the country had long been in poverty.

Even if Mexico is turned into a raw material production place and commodity market, production must be resumed first. People have no money in their pockets, so naturally they have no purchasing power.

The benefits the French gain in Mexico every year are not enough to pay the military expenses. Although this expense is ultimately borne by the Mexican government.

However, the Mexican government is now shaking poor, and even Emperor Masimirino I's pension is owed. This miserable child has never received a salary once for so many years.

The most important income of the Mexican government now is international loans, most of which are loaned from France. In Franz's view, it is not too much, just over a billion francs.

If Mexico can end the civil war and resume production, then work hard and pay off debts, there will be no problem at all.

There are not many other things in the Silver Empire, but the currency is produced more. While the price of silver has not yet fallen to the bottom, they still have the ability to pay off their debts.

After rubbing his forehead, Franz wrote a reply helplessly. Borrowing money does not exist, how can you use your own money to fill the bottomless pit?

The French are rich now and don't care about such a little loss. Did Napoleon III make the matter, or let them take responsibility to the end.

It is very easy to suppress the rebellion, so you can contract this business directly to the French. If you don’t have money, will there be mines? Mexico’s silver mines are enough to bear the expenses.

There is only one key point, to settle the French commander in Mexico. Whether it is bribery or fooling, just ask him to sign.

Franz has given many instructions to fool military generals, and not to talk nonsense with French ministers. It is usually difficult for those who engage in diplomacy to deceive.

After the letter was sent out, Franz decided to help his younger brother, otherwise the French might not admit it with his operational ability.

Mexico has many internal problems, especially after Masimirino I's reform, later generations have evaluated this war as a "war of reform."

The emperor is a reformist, and the rebels are also a reformist. It’s just that the emperor is a real reformist, while the rebels are a reformist who is under the banner of a reformist and seeks profit.

The ideal finally gave reality, the rebels won the victory, and the emperor became the spokesperson for the conservatives. In fact, if Massimirino I really hooked up with the conservatives, he would not lose the civil war.

The victory of the rebels marked the beginning of Mexican warlord politics. It continued until the 21st century and the situation in Mexico was not peaceful.

"Terron, sent people to build momentum in France so that the French people could not even defeat the Indian natives.

Just reveal the news. The French people thought about the problem later. Don’t combine too much, so as not to make people feel too deliberate.”

Franz is still very good at hyping public opinion. Right and wrong are all in a flash, especially in this era, when the right to speak is in the hands of a few elites, it is easier to manipulate public opinion.

The French army was defeated by the rebels in Mexico, which was the truth, and the more than a thousand people killed in battle were the best evidence.

The matter is not the focus, just skip it. The French people will not care about why the army fails, and it will not work if they lose to the Indian natives.

Although there were a large number of white people in the rebels, the Mexicans were not much different from those of the natives in the eyes of the French, at least the view of the Parisian people was.

If you lose, you will naturally have to get back the situation. If you just forget it, how can the arrogant French people accept it?

There is no foreign interference now. After the split, neither the north nor the south has the strength to wrestle with the French, and the Paris government has no reason to be cowardly.

Moreover, the capital invested by the Paris government now has increased a lot compared to the original time and space. How can we recover the cost if the rebels are not suppressed?

Regardless of whether they admit it or not, Masimirino I is now the spokesperson for their interests in Mexico, and their interests will inevitably be greatly affected if the emperor falls.

The economic crisis has not ended yet, and there are not many fatty meats like Mexico in the world. Not to mention anything else, the tariffs and minerals that are mortgaged to them are worthy of the French’s actions.

"Yes, your majesty." Intelligence leader Tyron replied calmly.

It is not difficult to reveal a piece of news at all. French newspapers are not as obedient as Austrian newspapers. As a beacon of the free world, freedom of speech has always been the persistence of the French people.

The book and newspaper inspection system can be implemented in Austria, which is because everyone is already used to it.

France is different. These binding systems have long disappeared. Napoleon III did not have the confidence to formulate such a law and continue to implement it.

Without constraints on speech, such news will naturally not be kept confidential. It is very natural that something that happened in Mexico will be sent back to Paris and published in newspapers.

Newspapers in Paris can create news without news. Why not publish news?

It has always been the responsibility of journalists to deliver such genuine news. There are many such responsible people in Paris, and they will fulfill this glorious mission.

...

Paris in the early morning is the best time of the day. This is the only time to breathe fresh air. After a while, the factory starts and thick black smoke rises, the feeling is not very wonderful.

Of course, compared to London, the weather in Paris is good every day. The sense of happiness depends on comparison. After London is at the bottom, the people of Paris will not feel that there is any problem.

In the winter of 1868, the weather in Paris was particularly better, probably this was the only benefit brought to people by the economic crisis.

A large number of factories went bankrupt and the pollution source was cut off. The sky became bluer and the air became fresher.

Unfortunately, these changes failed to attract Pakren's attention. As a member of the unemployed army, Pakren's only goal now is to find a job, and other issues are not worth mentioning.

Now he is going to receive unemployment assistance. Although the money is not much, it is enough for him to eat black bread and don’t worry about being hungry.

Do you think it is very advanced? There was unemployment relief in the 19th century. This is one of the political achievements of Napoleon III. Not only unemployment relief, but also pension pensions.

It is no wonder that Napoleon III's other title - "Socialist Emperor".

Thanks to these good policies, even in the economic crisis, Napoleon III's reputation did not decline.

This period was also the best time for French workers. After Napoleon III, they did not have such treatment throughout the 19th century. It was not until the rise of the Soviet Union that they once again enjoyed this series of benefits.

Soon Pachren was attracted by the attention and quickly stepped forward to an acquaintance and asked, "What's going on, Cross?"

Cross raved and complained: "Pakren, do you know? Our army was defeated by a group of indigenous bandits in Mexico, and it is said that more than a thousand people died and thousands were injured.

God, tens of thousands of French troops could not even defeat a group of indigenous bandits. Did they all go to breastfeed the day before and consume all their strength on women?

These damn bastards have lost France's face. If this news spreads, our world's largest army power will be insured.

It's simply terrible..."

Parkren could no longer listen to the following content. He grabbed the newspaper with one hand and started reading it seriously.

I don’t have enough knowledge of forgiveness, and I don’t know many of the words above, but I still know these words, the most important number of casualties, defeat.

Then, as the whole person was in the news of the defeat of the French army, tens of thousands of French troops could not defeat a group of natives. He said to himself:

"This is impossible!"

"How could we fail?"

...

As for news, if you don’t exaggerate it, how can you attract everyone’s attention?

After the artistic processing of newspaper editors, tens of thousands of French troops suffered great defeats in Mexico, with heavy casualties.

In fact, less than 10,000 French troops participated in the war. If there were tens of thousands of French troops, the Mexican rebels would not have won.

The absolute gap in strength cannot be changed by some small calculations. Massimirino I's order is only effective against the Mexican government forces, and the French army will not care about the orders of the Mexican emperor.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the Paris government hurried out to refute the rumors. But it was useless. The fact that the French army was defeated was always a fact, and the reason was not what the French people care about.

In short, the French people were angry. Without any surprise, the Paris people began the most meaningful activity - the parade.

If you are happy, you can parade, if you are angry, you can parade, if you are empty and lonely, you can parade, and if you are dissatisfied with the government, you can still parade. There is no problem in France that you cannot parade.

It is an economic crisis, and many people are idle and have nothing to do, which makes the parade much larger, starting from Paris but spreading across the country.

The news of the French army's defeat in Mexico quickly spread throughout Europe through newspapers.

At this time, the Paris government could no longer retreat. If they did not retaliate quickly, the Mexican rebels would step on their shoulders and become famous.

Now the French army has not defeated the reputation established by the Russians and lost to the Mexican rebels. Everyone will not think it is an unexpected situation. All countries will only add fuel to the flames to the French army's combat effectiveness.

This is undoubtedly disastrous for the French government. The failure of countries to recognize their strength means that they will be at a disadvantage in the international competition for interests.

After the decline of the Russian Empire, the French hurriedly gave themselves the hat of the world's number one army power. Don't they know that the big tree attracts wind?

Obviously, Napoleon III would not be so superficial. It was just a false reputation and was not worthy of their lack of appearance.

There are still a lot of interests behind the false reputation, which is why the French are eager to seize power. They want to take over the position of European overlord left by the Russians.

The cake is so big. When European countries divide the cake, they rely on their strength. The stronger the strength, the greater the share.

It’s enough to just watch the weak country, it has nothing to do with them. If you are not lucky, it will turn into a cake on the table.

Including the current battle for the Spanish throne, France can reject so many candidates, which depends on its own strong strength.

If the outside world thinks that they are not strong at this time, then Spain might have another anti-French king.

At least both Britain and Austria want to support an anti-French king. This situation will happen once France's strength cannot suppress the situation.

The most convincing way to prove one's own strength is war. Wherever you fall, you must get up.

Whether France's future rear stability depends on their next performance. France's face is priceless and just a city.
