Chapter seventy-ninth, the embassy situation
The city of Mexico was captured without bloodshed and overthrew the rule of Masimirino I. The republic government led by Juarez finally got rid of the name of the rebels and became worthy of its reputation.
Before he could celebrate, Juarez received news that Masimirino I had hid in the Austrian embassy, which made his good mood disappear in an instant.
There is no doubt that Masimirino I stayed in Mexico City just a time bomb that could cause a major political earthquake at any time.
To be precise, without waiting, Massimirino I is now causing trouble for them, although unconsciously.
Masimirino I has not yet abdicated and is still the internationally recognized legal ruler of Mexico. By contrast, the republican government led by Juarez has not been recognized.
This uprising was under the banner of "punishing tyrants". Now the emperor is in the Austrian embassy. Should they arrest him or not?
A young officer was eager to try: "His Excellency President, there are not many troops in the Austrian Embassy. Should we send people to rush in and grab that bastard Masimirino out?"
Juarez also cursed Masimirino in his heart, leaving a way to escape, and didn't know how to run. Isn't this a brain disease?
"Baul, are you in your mind? That's the Austrian Embassy. If you send someone in now, wouldn't you provide an excuse for interference?
Send people to surround the Austrian embassy first, inform the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to communicate with them, and let the Austrians hand over Masimirino I."
Juarez himself didn't believe this, but these work was an indispensable part of politics. He rashly attacked a country's embassy, especially the embassies of the great powers, and that was seeking death.
On this issue, the European powers have the same position and will not allow any impact on the embassy.
Although the Austrian embassy took in the Mexican emperor and had interfered in Mexico's internal affairs, who made Mexico just a weak country?
In this cruel era, weak countries have no right to speak. As long as Austria insists that they are rebels and the republican government does not have legitimacy, things will pass.
Don't expect international public opinion to support them. It is still the era of monarchy. Even France, which is the most open-minded, no one dares to promote the justification of rebellion.
The Mexican Republican government has offended the French to death and challenged another wave of Austria. Do they still want to have a good life?
Don’t look at the Americans supporting their revolution. They really need to stand out and keep the Americans as ostrich. One of the most important obligations of the British, French and Austrian alliance is to suppress the Americans.
It would be fine if it didn't emerge. Once it jumped out, it would have to consider whether it would be beaten by society. The wounds of the Civil War had just healed, and now is the most low-key time for Americans. How could they stand up for them?
From a geopolitical perspective, a weak and backward Mexico is more in line with the interests of the Americans. On this issue, the United States of America and the United States of America have the same position.
Ball was not angry, but instead breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to be regarded as a scapegoat. As the first troops to enter the city, if they wanted to attack the Austrian embassy, they would probably do it.
If he really did it, he would definitely need to give an explanation to the Austrians in the future. The specific executor would never have good results. He hurried to ask President Juarez for advice, in fact, to avoid disaster.
Juarez naturally knew this little trick. Ball dared not take this responsibility, and he, as the president, did not dare.
The regime was overturned because of the debt that the French were invaded by the debt. Once again, Juarez no longer had that courage.
The two tacitly ignored the fact that Austria would not be able to deal with others. Anyway, it is always right to be cautious in foreign affairs. The only way is to not have any problems is the best result.
...
In the Austrian Embassy, the Compton Minister shouted righteously: "You have not been recognized by the international community, and are not yet legal governments in Mexico, and are not qualified to engage in diplomatic negotiations with Austria."
The negotiations did not begin, and Mexico's representative Phillips was stunned. He talked about legitimacy at the beginning and refused to recognize the republican government, leaving Phillips unaware of how to deal with it.
There is no way. The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also a turf team. Since its establishment, it has never conducted formal diplomatic activities and has no idea how to deal with such a thing.
Before Phillips could come up with the result, he was driven out. Then Compton invited ministers from various European countries to meet. Although no valuable agreement was reached, everyone reached an agreement on refusing to recognize the Mexican Republican government.
The monarchy refuses to recognize the republican government and does not need any additional reasons at all. This is politically correct.
Unless the Mexican government can bring out attractive benefits, don't expect to gain recognition from the international community.
...
The fallen leaves fell on the ground, paving a golden "golden road". The sound of "great" comes from time to time when stepping on it, making people feel so comfortable, as if they were stepping on a cotton blanket, without any extra leaves, each piece was a golden leaf, which was endless aftertaste.
Corn grinned, corn sneered, and soybeans were laughing and laughed out loud by the wind...
Governor Hummel, who was inspecting various places, was still in the joy of a bumper harvest. He thought: It is another bumper harvest year, and it seems that a new railway project can be launched.
"Governor General, this is a telegram from the Embassy in Mexico. Please check it out."
The Buzhike interrupted Governor Hummel's reverie. Without any hesitation, Hummel Xun took the telegram and began to browse.
The smile on the corner of his mouth had betrayed his thoughts, and it was obviously good news.
After reading the contents of the telegram, Governor Hummel immediately ordered: "Order the First Division, the Second Division and the Third Division to stop field training and must arrive at Port Barrios within one week!
Order the Caribbean fleet to stop all out activities immediately and stand by in the port.
The Logistics Department was ordered to immediately allocate 50,000 people for three months of combat supplies to gather in coastal port cities on the Caribbean coast.
Order the Ministry of Foreign Trade to organize the fleet immediately…”
More than a dozen orders were issued in a row, all of which were to be completed. Obviously, there were some preparations in advance, otherwise it would not be possible to complete them in a short period of time.
Especially the colonial division troops are usually dissatisfied. Generally, only one-third of the personnel are maintained as an air of the army and are rapidly expanded during wartime.
Of course, daily recruitment and reserve training is indispensable for entering the army. Other nations may not be used to this kind of daily training, but Germans are commonplace.
This is how I lived in my hometown, and I could naturally go to America as usual. After so many years of exhibitions, the registered population of the Austrian Central American colonies has exceeded 3.78 million, of which two-fifths of the white population.
Of course, there is still water here. Many new and mixed-race children have also been included in it. In this era, the supervision is not strict, and as long as the appearance is not very different, they can get through it.
Of course, the main factor for bureaucrats to achieve political achievements is also. If bureaucrats do not let go, the birth rate of Austrian citizens in Central America is 7.8%. How did this figure come about?
Looking around the world, this birth rate is the highest, completely exceeding the normal birth rate of the population. Among the many Austrian colonies, only the birth rate of citizens in the Nanyang region can be compared with it.
This statistics are limited to people with Austrian nationality, and the rest are not within the statistics. The Vienna government is only concerned about the population birth rate of its own citizens.
Among them, the number of Germans has accounted for 32% of the total population. It doesn’t matter how this data comes from. It is an indisputable fact that Germans have become the largest ethnic group in the local area.
Theoretically, the number of registered reserves in Central America is 210,000. This is the ultimate mobilization, of course, this is limited to the registration of imperial citizens.
Governor Hummel did not think that the local Indians would respond to the empire's call, so naturally they did not include them in the reserve.
Theory is theory, but in fact, the highest mobilization record for Austrian Central American colonies is only 10,000, and no matter how many, it will seriously affect local production.
There is no way to survive a foreign war. I can’t just struggle to make my own economy die during training.
This figure also exceeds the level of mobilization of normal agricultural countries, but it doesn't matter. Central America is an agricultural economy and mining economy, but the home country Austria is an industrial country.
The Austrian Central American colony is equivalent to an agricultural province among industrial countries, and its mobilization capacity is naturally stronger than that of agricultural countries.
This military strength can be ranked among the top five in the Americas Big Six. Except for the British, the United States of America and the United States of America, Governor Hummel, other countries, did not take it seriously.
This interference in Mexico is an opportunity to show off. Perhaps in Franz's view, bringing Massimirino, the unlucky brother, back safely, would have achieved his goal.
But for colonial officials who were eager to make achievements, if they did not cause trouble, they would be sorry for their identity as colonists.
Governor Hummel is no exception. In his opinion, this matter must be expanded, otherwise how can everyone achieve success?
Otherwise, he would have sent troops to snatch Masimirino I out. Anyway, the Mexican Republican government would not want this trouble.
Masimirino I was placed in the Austrian embassy for trouble. Never doubt the revolutionaries' ability to do things. There are always some middle-aged teenagers who are smart at their own expense.
As long as an armed conflict occurs, Governor Hummel has an excuse for armed interference. According to Austria's consistent principles, he usually does not like to make enemies with others casually. Once he becomes enemies, he can only be killed.
Hummel did not have that much appetite when he annexed the Mexican Empire. Even if he had eaten, he could not digest it with the strength of the Austrian Central American colony.
Moreover, countries will intervene and it is impossible to watch Austria expand so wildly.
How much meat you can bite now is not only based on your strength, but more importantly, it is to see how big the things you are provoked. A reasonable excuse can always reap the greatest benefits.
What Governor Hummel wants to see most is that the Mexican Republican government sends troops to besiege the Austrian embassy. By then, the two countries officially declare war, and no one can blame Austria for being wrong.
Compared with making achievements, Masimirino I's personal safety ranks second. As long as he is still alive, he can make friends with His Majesty the Emperor. It is completely acceptable to suffer some grievances.
If there is an unexpected situation in one day, as long as they try their best to rescue them, they can also deal with it. Others don’t know the inside story, but as a senior government official, Governor Hummel is still aware of the fall of Masimirino I and the family.
Perhaps as the elder brother, the emperor wanted to help him, but there are definitely many people in the Habsburg family who wished this unlucky guy died soon.
Of course, this death is a natural death and it must not be killed at the hands of the Mexican rebels. Otherwise, for the sake of family glory, they would also seek the bad luck of Mexico.
This kind of thing can only be understood but not expressed in words. Governor Hummel is still very at ease with Masimirino's safety, and there are still few people who dare to kill the regicide in this era.
The lessons of the past are there. The guys who cut off Charles I and Louis XVI's heads basically died miserably, and even caused their families to suffer bad luck. Anyone with a little political mind knows the consequences.
Governor Hummel actively carried out preparations for war and reported to the country, asking the Vienna government to give instructions.
This is just a formality. Franz does not have the desire to command remotely, so it is naturally not impossible for the Vienna government to do this. According to convention, they are authorized to the colonial governor to wait for an opportunity.
