Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Faced with criticism from the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China will naturally not sit idly by.

On September 8, 1881, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire stated that it was because Mexican troops came to the border area of ​​the Yucatan Peninsula under Austro-Hungarian rule to enforce law, so the Austro-Hungarian Empire dispatched security teams to drive them away, but the Mexican civilians -The troops drew their guns and fired at the troops who were policing the Austro-Hungarian position. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had the power to hunt down and bring these fugitives to justice in the areas ruled by Austro-Hungary, so Austro-Hungary sent out troops to help hunt them down.

On September 8, 1881, Mexico also dispatched 4,000 troops to the town of La Muta. The two sides were in a stalemate. First, 5,000 troops and the Austro-Hungarian army directly attacked the town of La Muta.

4,000 Mexicans occupied the town fortress and fought with each other.

Since many of the guns in the Mexican army are old Mauser rifles produced in the Netherlands in 1866, while the Austro-Hungarian Empire uses semi-automatic rifles, the two sides are not on the same level, so in the end the town of La Muta lost, and the town of La Muta in Mexico lost All people have been evacuated, but at the cost of 4,000 people and more than 500 people injured.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire suffered less than 200 casualties when they entered the town of Lamuta.

When the news came out, it immediately sparked cheers in the German-Austrian League in Europe.

When other European countries faced representatives from Latin American countries, they became even more arrogant.

As a result, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Mexico went to war for the first time in more than ten years, with a loss ratio of 1 to 2.5, and the reputation of Austria-Hungary in the world was sung.

For this reason, many nobles in Vienna rushed to publicly praise the bravery of the Austro-Hungarian army in parliament.

The conflict caused the tension in the Austro-Hungarian Empire due to the approaching war to dissipate. The stock market and treasury bond market of the Austro-Hungarian Empire entered a long position, and the financial economy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was generally positive.

On September 19, 1881, local time, the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of Defense announced that the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s first five thousand troops in Mexico had completely controlled the town of Latam.

On September 10, the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of Defense announced that the number of Austro-Hungarian troops in Latam Town reached 10,000, and 5,000 of them had begun to move from Latam Town towards the expedition to Cuarcos, the center of the Bay of Campeche. , entering the middle ground between the two places.

On the same day, the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s occupation of the town of La Tamu. “This is another sad beginning of the colonization of Mexico by European powers. We have sent a telegram for help to Ecuador, the headquarters of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance Group of Latin America. Now the Thirteen-Nation Group The Alliance has held a meeting on this, and all countries are dissatisfied with the actions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Also, we have applied for arbitration at the Court of International Law in The Hague to stop and condemn the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s invasion of Mexico. And we have explained our experiences and origins to our allies and partners around the world. All countries now understand Mexico’s difficulties and helplessness, and are even more dissatisfied with the atrocities of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.”

The Mexican Foreign Minister's eloquent condemnation of Mexico's actions caught Europe by surprise. At the same time, it was also surprised by the country's response to the Austro-Hungarian invasion.

On the same day, the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced in Vienna that if Mexico promised to maintain a neutral status and recognized the fact of the new territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Yucatan Peninsula, it also declared Mexico's right to the town of Latam that the Austro-Hungarian Empire acquired from Mexico. If it objects, then Austria-Hungary is willing to start a peace agreement with Mexico.

He stated that as long as Mexico accepted the conditions of Austria-Hungary, the conflict between the two countries could be resolved.

A spokesman for the Austro-Hungarian military told the European Times: "The Austro-Hungarian navy has arrived from Merida to inspect the waters off the port of Cuarcos. If Mexico does not agree that the town of Taramu belongs to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or the two countries do not start dialogue , the Austro-Hungarian fleet will launch a high-precision strike on the expedition to Cuarcos, and prepare to destroy the Mexican Atlantic Navy to the last battleship, the Mexico City.

On September 12, 1881, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, visited Washington, D.C., and held talks with American President Stephen Douglas.

It is said that President Stephen personally tried to persuade Crown Prince Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary to make peace.

When asked about the war dispute between Austria-Hungary and Mexico in Washington that day, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, said that Vienna agreed with some of the ideas of the American president and also agreed with many of the peace plans listed by President Stephen, but Vienna believes that at this stage, any peace agreement initiative will be difficult to achieve if Mexico does not agree to the plan proposed by the Austrian-Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (recognizing the territory occupied by Austria-Hungary and returning it to Austria).

…

Melbourne, Australia.

"Crown Prince Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs obviously insist that Mexico needs to recognize the area east of the town of Taramu as Austro-Hungarian territory before negotiating."

Prime Minister Lyndon reported to William IV on the war between Mexico and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

There was no tension or worry in Linden's account, because from the beginning, they had predicted the current outcome.

William IV nodded and said: "This guy Gonzalez has good execution and deserves praise."

Prime Minister Lyndon smiled and said: "Yes, Mexico used a small cost this time to lure the enemy deep into the country, allowing the 30,000 Mexican troops on the Yucata Peninsula to attack together without waiting for the other 10,000 Austrian troops arriving in Merida next week. This is an ability in itself.”

"Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has now fallen into the trap we deployed. No one would have thought that we had deployed 20 second-generation submarines equipped with the latest torpedoes at the Kursk Port more than a month ago. Quietly We are waiting quietly for their arrival, but it is a pity that Germany did not participate, otherwise they would never come back and be buried in the Bay of Campeche to feed the sharks."

William IV: "Bismarck and William IV are notoriously cunning. Don't think that they will do anything wrong. However, don't lower your guard against them. Instruct our intelligence collectors in Latin America to start collecting information about Germany now." The intelligence in Europe and America has been upgraded to five stars."

"Yes" Linden nodded.

"And" William IV said coldly: "Send a message to President Gonzalez of Mexico and tell him to start implementing the second plan."

Linden's eyes were a little unbearable but he finally responded.

On September 14, 1881, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with its powerful firepower and an army no less powerful than Mexico, finally arrived on this day with 5,000 leading Austrian troops to inspect the eastern part of the city of Kharsk.

Mexico urgently wanted to evacuate civilians, but because many of them lived outside the city, and the Austrian army arrived too quickly, the civilians met the Austrian army.

At the same time, there was naturally no conflict between a European occupying force and a civilian village from a poor and weak country. Conflict soon broke out between the two parties. All 679 villagers in the village were massacred. When the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced this appalling incident, After the news, many countries around the world finally found excuses to stand up.
