Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

For the first time in the world, the Thirteen Latin American Group of Nations prepared a defense plan to prevent an attack by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

“We strongly condemn the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s invasion of Mexico, a member of the Thirteen-nation Alliance of Latin America. All members of the Thirteen-Nation Group believe that the Austro-Hungarian Empire should withdraw from Mexican territory including the Yucata Peninsula. No one can criticize the members of the Thirteen-Nation Group. Being able to escape unharmed after being offended.”

All members of the Thirteen Latin American Group (members include the Netherlands, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Belize, and Mexico) are very dissatisfied with the invasion of the United States by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Dissatisfied, the group is therefore formulating the world's first overall defense plan, mainly to deal with possible attacks by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Latin America. According to officials from the organization, the business was agreed upon as there was no objection from any member state.

At the same time, in Ecuador, the presidents or defense ministers of several G13 member states arrived in Kiel, the headquarters, on the same day to express support for the Mexican delegation attending the meeting. The delegation became the most popular team in the audience. The other twelve countries have stated that they will stand firmly with Mexico.

Mexican President Gonzalez publicly expressed his gratitude to these allies for their support in Mexico City and met with the heads of the embassies of each member country in Mexico. They all attended a press conference with Gonzalez in Mexico City.

Gonzalez told a joint press conference that if Mexico negotiated with Austria-Hungary now it would only freeze the war, freeze the pain and suffering. "What we need is real peace, so the Austro-Hungarian army must really withdraw from our territory, not only the temporarily occupied town of Latamu, but also Yucata, which was occupied during the Austro-Austrian Empire more than ten years ago. Peninsula, the whole world knows that it is still Mexico, and everyone knows that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was stolen from us."

Mexican President Gonzalez's words, in front of all the reporters, the ambassadors of the other twelve countries nodded in agreement. It was obvious that they were openly testing pressure on the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

This shows that the 12 Congresses stand with Mexico.

At the same time, Kiel, the headquarters of the Thirteen-nation Group, condemned the Austria-Hungary Empire’s war against civilians as unacceptable, and the Thirteen-nation Group of Latin America condemned Austria-Hungary’s abhorrent actions.

The organization said that if it sees that the German Empire's troops pose a threat to Mexico in the Austro-Hungarian Army, the organization will respond to the German Empire in terms of military technology and in accordance with the security treaties signed by the organization's member states.

The G13 prime ministerial level summit will be held in Kiel, Ecuador before the end of September, the first summit since the organization expanded its membership.

The organization expressed dissatisfaction with Austria-Hungary's attack on its member states and would respond forcefully to safeguard the interests of its member states.

The other member states will begin to meet in Kiel within a week and then form a humanitarian team. They will answer the front line on the Mexican side to observe the slaughtered countryside in Mexico. If the final discovery is true, then The Group of Thirteen will impose the strongest sanctions on the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it does not even rule out the possibility that the Group of Thirteen will sever diplomatic relations with Austria-Hungary.

If this is true, then the Austro-Hungarian Empire's global diplomatic territory will shrink sharply, and it will even become more dependent on Berlin, becoming a veritable little brother of Germany.

They are worried about the impact of this sudden war on the security of their respective countries, especially the interference of food and investment environment in addition to the security of each country. After all, since the war, the scarcity of food in Mexico has become severe, and the domestic food supply in other countries will become the prey of Mexican businessmen. This is a very important matter for all countries.

Ecuadorian President Molino also said, "Austro-Hungary's provocative war against Mexico is sending a message to the members of the Group of Thirteen: Austria-Hungary needs more wars, not peace."

Regarding the Austro-Mexican War among the exhibitors, Mexican President Gonzalez reiterated after talks with the presidents of the five Central American countries who visited Central America on September 16, 1881 that only the Austro-Hungarian Empire completely left its territory, including the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Only then could Mexico start peace talks with Austria-Hungary.

The Dutch diplomatic mission to the Group of 13 stated that consultations and assessments among allies are still continuing and that it would be wrong to comment on the confidential plans of the Group of 13 at this time. The Dutch delegation is obviously unwilling to express its position so quickly and leak secrets.

Mexican President Gonzalez reiterated his position on Austria-Hungary's withdrawal at a joint press conference.

On September 18, 1881, Stephen Douglas of the American Confederacy called on both Austria and Mexico to ease the conflict.

Obviously, the American Federation was siding with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, because after all, Mexico was in occupied territory. How could it ease the situation? Is Mexico willing to suffer a loss and swallow a bitter pill?

Therefore, when the Commonwealth of the United States supported détente, U.S.-Mexico relations began to deteriorate sharply.

The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs even publicly stated that the Commonwealth of the United States is no longer a close partner of Mexico. "We have removed it from our partner countries because it is not worthy."

Within the Commonwealth of America, the Republican Party fully criticized the Democratic Party government's poor diplomatic line. The Republican Party publicly stated that if it succeeded in unseating the Democratic Party, it would sign an alliance treaty with Mexico, and the Republican Party would be suitable. At that time, an application was submitted to the Thirteen Latin American Group Alliance to join the alliance. , top Republicans have criticized the Democratic Party for making the United States an orphan in the Americas. If it is not handled properly, the United States will face a huge strategic disaster.

The internal debate in the United States over the dispute between Austria and Mexico has allowed the world to see the fierce battle between the two parties in the American Federation, and it has also made people see the shapeable shape of party politics in the American Federation.

German Empire, Berlin.

Bismarck said extremely seriously: "The current defense plan of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance of Latin America marks a fundamental change in the organization. In the past ten years, the Seven-Nation Alliance, the predecessor of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance, only participated in the Chilean Civil War and the war with the United Kingdom. The Chilean War in China was a relatively small-scale war, and it was believed that Argentina was pro-British at the time, so a large number of defense forces were deployed on the Argentine border. However, the Argentine army did not pose much of a threat, so there was no need to formulate a large-scale defense plan. However, not long ago In May, the German-Austrian Alliance formulated a Latin American plan, and now that the Austro-Hungarian Empire expanded the war and occupied more territory in Mexico, the situation has changed drastically. It's okay. The three countries are now warning that a larger conflict will break out at any time due to the Austria-Hungarian Empire, Vienna and other opponents. , so all preparations must be made, and the package will guide member states on how to strengthen their forces and logistics."

Chief of General Staff Moltke asked: "The Dutch Group of Thirteen has begun to exert its strength. Should we take action?"
