Holy Roman Empire

Massimilino wanted to become emperor of Mexico, but it stimulated many people's nerves.

The Republican opposition in the country is just fine, because the French support the higher ranks, and many people within the constitutionalists are worried that the French will continue to expand and choose to wait and see.

Before Massimilino arrived in Mexico, Lincoln showed his attitude, opposed the French interference in Mexican internal affairs, and condemned the French for violating Monroe doctrine.

These are minor issues. Even the internal affairs of the United States have interfered. Who would take Moneroism to heart, Lincoln's protest against the French simply ignored.

The Spaniards had occupied Haiti, Austria reached out to Central America, and the British intended to take them back to the west. Naturally, the French did not think it was wrong to plot Mexico.

There is no direct annexation, but only support for the puppet government rule. At least it is more interesting than Austria. It wants to turn Central American countries into autonomous provinces.

Not only the northern government objected, but even the southern government opposed Massimilino's appointment as emperor of Mexico. They worry that the development of the Mexican Empire will harm their interests.

In this context, in March 1864, Massimilino boarded the throne of the Mexican emperor, and the history was called Massimilino I.

Everyone's eyes are in the American Civil War, and they are not interested in this newly born Mexican emperor. This ascension ceremony is arguably the worst in a century.

The guests couldn't get on the stage, so they didn't say anything. With such a long distance, you ca n’t expect European nobles to take a trip in person. Even if you send a representative, you need to travel, right?

It's okay to set the scenes shabby, anyway, it's a ritual. In the end, it depends on performance. If you fail, it's shabby. If you succeed, it's called caring for the people.

The key is that the Republicans are doing things. On the day of the coronation, a large-scale parade was organized, asking the emperor to get out.

At the scene of the ascension, there were several secondary and secondary teenagers who wanted to disrupt the ceremony. Fortunately, the guards responded in time to prevent this bad behavior.

This is the Mexican faction. It gave the emperor the power to dismiss. In this unique way, he told Massimilino I: Yours are not welcome. If you are clever, cooperate with us.

...

Soon after Massimilino's ascension, a decisive battle was fought between the north and the south.

In mid-April 1864, at the junction of Pennsylvania and Ohio, the northern government assembled 420,000 troops and the southern government assembled 340,000 troops.

Winning or losing in this battle will directly affect the future situation of the United States.

If the northern government loses the battle, then Pennsylvania will fall, the Great Lakes Industrial Zone will fall into the hands of the southern government, and the northern government will basically be unable to return to the sky.

On the other hand, if the southern government lost the war, then the advantages they had accumulated in the early stage will be lost.

The northern government can take the victory and recapture Ohio and Maryland, and then use the military advantage to overwhelm the southern government.

The eyes of all countries have come here. As observers, the North and the South will never be able to tell the difference, which is what we most want to see.

From the outbreak of the civil war to the present, the total industrial output of the United States has fallen by 43%, and the output of agricultural products has fallen by 37%.

In particular, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Kentucky suffered the worst losses on the battlefield.

The total population of the United States has fallen below 30 million. The war has brought serious trauma to this country. It will not be able to return to pre-war levels in ten years. States in the war zone will lick wounds in the next twenty or thirty.

The harder the Americans fight, the greater the benefits to European nations. The arms dealers will not say anything, all of them are making a fortune.

Other industries have also gained a lot. Take Austria as an example: After the impact of the United States, a major food exporter, international food prices have risen by 13%. As Europe's largest agricultural product exporter, it naturally became the biggest winner.

In addition to agricultural products, Austrian industrial and commercial products also appear on the American market. The total export trade with the United States has increased by 46% compared with that before the war.

The United Kingdom and France have not spared much effort, and took advantage of this opportunity to siege the land in the Americas, especially the southern government with weak industries. Most of the industrial and commercial products currently used are from European countries.

The northern states are not much better. After the economic transition to war, other civilian industrial and commercial products have naturally been greatly reduced, and the market is flooded with European manufacturing.

Don't look at Franz hoarding arms in advance to seize business opportunities. In fact, the biggest economic gain is still the British.

As the world's industrial overlord, John Bull has surpassed the total of all countries in the export of industrial and commercial products, and naturally has become the biggest beneficiary.

Since the four countries of Britain, France, and Western Europe have decided to reach an agreement on the United States, the ministers of the four countries have often come together to exchange views, and occasionally disputes have occurred.

The Austrian representative Drucker proposed: "You have reached a critical moment. No matter who wins or loses in this battle, we must intervene.

If the action is late, the two sides have won and lost, and then the price to pay for intervention is not a little bit. I propose to immediately organize interference in the coalition forces and directly use force to intervene in the American Civil War. "

French representative Alfred objected: "Sir, it is too early for us to start. Whoever wins this battle will suffer heavy losses and will not have the ability to counterattack in the short term.

This war will continue for a long time, and the best choice is to use the civil war to consume as much American power as possible.

If we end now, then both the southern government and the northern government have retained strong military strength, which is not conducive to our subsequent activities in North America. "

This is all a cover. The key is that the French are focusing on Mexican affairs. Now they are sending troops to interfere in the American civil war. They can only provide too little troops.

Benefits are always linked to strength. The greater the strength that can be invested now, the greater the benefits that can be obtained after the war.

Everyone is an old power. There is no fuel-saving lamp. If you want to take advantage, don't do anything. Don't dream about such a good thing.

What Alfred wanted to do now was to delay time, wait for them to free up, and then interfere in the American civil war in order to maximize the benefits.

In any case, in his view, the four countries, Britain, France, and the West, joined forces to interfere in this civil war without any difficulty at all. Don't say that the United States, which has suffered a great deal of vitality, cannot even compete with the four countries at the same time, even if the United States is full of blood.

British representative Mario Liver said: "Now that the American Civil War has hit, both sides are already exhausted and it is unlikely that it will continue for a long time.

If it weren't for the two sides to stand up, there would not be this decisive battle. Judging from the situation on the battlefield, everyone is very clear that the preparations for this battle are very hasty.

If you continue to wait, no one can guarantee what will happen next. What if the North and South sides compromised directly after the victory?

As a third party, if we miss the best opportunity for intervention, how can everyone's interests be protected after the war?

I support the plan proposed by Drucker. Now we must organize an intervention force immediately, so as not to expand the situation and harm our interests. "

Two to one, the Spanish vote became the key to decision-making. If they support the French, then the issue of two to two still needs to be discussed; on the contrary, the minority obeys the majority and the proposal is approved.

Spanish Minister Francisco said: "As far as I know, the connection between the North and South governments has not been interrupted, and in order to avoid the worst, I support the formation of intervention forces."

Not surprisingly, the Spanish Minister Francisco made the choice that best served his own interests.

If this intervention plan fails, the major causes of the three nations, Britain, France and Austria, will be largely lost, but Spain will not.

Americans have long been jealous of Cuba, and Cuba is Spain's richest colony. They can bring a lot of wealth to them every year, and they are not sure to keep it in the face of a unified United States.

In the face of core interests, the Spaniards are extremely afraid to take risks. Therefore, the Spaniards have been very active on the issue of splitting the United States. Even in Spain, where there are many contradictions, they have also joined the interference alliance.

British Minister Marc Oliver continued: "Three to one, the proposal is approved. Now we summarize the troop numbers of various countries to ensure that the interference goes smoothly.

Great Britain can dispatch the American fleet, including 5 iron armored ships, 16 sail battleships, 38 other types of warships, and 80,000 Army. "

This is almost all of the British mobile armed forces in North America. Obviously, they have lost their blood and are preparing to completely divide the United States.

Austrian Minister Drucker thought for a while and said, "Our American fleet can also be dispatched, but in the West Coast, there are now three iron armored ships and more than thirty warships of all kinds, and the army can dispatch 50,000 people."

This is the current part of the Americas and most of Austria ’s military forces. If it had n’t been for a recent domestic reinforcement, it would have been impossible to get so many troops.

After all, the Central American region is still unstable, and local organized militia is obviously immobile. Cannot interfere with the United States, and lost his colony.

Spain ’s Minister Francisco said with confidence: “We can dispatch the Cuban fleet with more than 50 warships of various types, including one iron armored ship, and we can mobilize 70,000 troops.”

No way, Spain has really fallen. If it were not for the facade, this iron armored ship would not have. As for the 70,000 Army, this includes a local indigenous army, and its combat effectiveness is unknown.

The trio's eyes turned to Alfred. France, however, was the main force of the army that interfered with the coalition. In the past, he has not bragged about B, and now it is their performance.

After hesitating for a moment, Alfrey had to make a decision: "We can dispatch the American Fleet. There are more than 50 warships of various types including three iron armored ships, and the Army can dispatch 60,000 people."

In any case, France's face cannot be lost. Not to mention the postponement of the issue of Mexico, this action directly related to the division of American interests after the war.

The American back garden will soon become a hunting ground for the four nations. If it is already a hunting ground for everyone, a treaty will be sent to divide the sphere of influence of each country.
