Chapter 1450: The Chosen Country, the Winner is the King One
Stepping into the star-studded conference room, Jujuan had only a slight sense of unreality. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, the latest chapter access:. Although he had always maintained a relatively warm relationship with the Mexican officer group that Mathilde had single-handedly raised, he never thought that he could rely on their support to sit on the throne of the Mexican Emperor - such a thing would probably not be agreed to by the Ming Empire or the French Empire, and his mother Mathilde never 'revealed' that she wanted to 'hand' Mexico over to him.
But this time, he really felt that the chair representing the highest power in Mexico beckoned to him - he was now the legitimate heir of Mathilde, and he had gained the right to use the surname of Pornaba, and became a full member of the Pornabas family, and at the same time became a prince and marshal of the Roman Empire.
What's more, Napoleon IV was quite hot-headed and wanted to overwhelm Germany, Austria, England and Russia at the same time and become the master of the European continent in one fell swoop! Although Mathilde bowed to Napoleon IV's will, he was quite pessimistic in his telegram to Juan, believing that it was a big gamble to dominate Europe, and that the chances of winning would never exceed 50%. And once Napoleon IV failed, not only the Eastern Empire could not be maintained, but the Western Empire could also collapse. At that time, the "Western Rome" will need a strong leader, looking at the "Bo" Nabas kings of the Americas, no one has such talent and strength to lead the "Western Rome", except for Jujuan, who has the Donghua Kingdom! Jujuan suddenly felt that an incomparably bright road was appearing in front of him, and the end of this road was the throne of the American continent!
While he was thinking about it, Juárez was already smiling and beckoning him to take his seat, the man who, along with Mathilde, had brought relative prosperity and affluence to the Indians (including the 'mixed' race) in Mexico and throughout Latin America. At this time in the original history, he had died of illness due to overwork. But on this plane. His career was actually much more successful. The road is also quite smooth, so the body is also better than in the original history. Although he is 70 years old this year, he is still 'spirited' and manages the entire country in an orderly manner.
He was also a supporter of Jujuan, although Jujuan was not friendly to the Indians in Donghua (in fact, the Indians in Mexico did not consider American Indians to be compatriots). But Juan had no political power at his disposal to rule Mexico, and his Chinese ministers did not know Mexico at all, and most did not speak Spanish. Therefore, once Juan becomes the king of Mexico, he will inevitably continue to reuse Mexican politicians like Juárez. And Henry.' Bo'Nabas was surrounded by a group of politicians from Europe......
Mathilde, of course, has a lot of trust in Juarez. By her orders, Juárez was to become tributary of the Western Empire – a position that had been given a new meaning by Napoleon IV, the title of Prime Minister or Chief Minister of the Roman Empire. According to the Roman Constitution, the empire would have two consuls and two tribunes. The two consuls were Augustus and Caesar, one in charge of the Eastern Empire and the other in charge of the Western Empire. Under the two consuls, there are two tribunes, who are responsible for managing the day-to-day affairs of the government, and are in fact prime ministers.
In this way, the Roman Empire, established by Napoleon IV, was actually two states. It's just that the rulers of the Western Empire are subservient to the rulers of the Eastern Empire. And is the successor of the latter, who is also theoretically designated by the latter. If nothing goes wrong with the Eastern Empire. As soon as Mathilde died, Napoleon IV appointed his daughter-in-law or son as Caesar and consul of the Western Empire. It was rare for Jujuan to have a chance to get his hands on the throne of Mexico, the center of the Western Empire. But the Eastern Empire was really brought down by Napoleon IV, and Jujuan could have grown big - for a group of small 'Bo' Nabas in the Americas, Mathilde and Juan were acceptable leaders.
"Gentlemen, please be seated." Jujuan smiled and nodded to the crowd in Spanish, and then politely said to Juarez, "Teacher, you can sit down too." ”
Juarez had taught Jujuan how to govern the country for a short time, and he didn't actually teach Juan anything, but the latter still called him "teacher" with great respect.
"Teacher, I don't know much about Brazil, I think you know what's going on, right?"
Juarez was very satisfied with Juan's attitude - not because he called himself "teacher", but because he did not do anything he did not understand, although he had the strength to do it.
"This is actually our King Henry.' Bo' Nabas and his wife, Princess Isabel of Brazil, 'figured it out'. Juárez smiled, the wrinkles on his face deepened, "They are strong advocates of the abolition of slavery in Brazil, and a few months ago, when Princess Isabel was regent, they signed the Gold Act to abolish slavery. ”
“…… Well, I see. Jujuan could certainly imagine that most of the officers in the Brazilian army were slave owners—as in most countries in Europe and the United States, most of the officers were of high rank, and that few young men from merchant backgrounds went to military schools, mostly the sons of nobles and landlord families. In Brazil, these aristocrats and landowners were naturally slave owners, and the abolition of slavery was, of course, a hated thing.
Of course, the military officers in Brazil would not have staged a coup d'état under the pretext of opposing the abolition of slavery - just as the rebels of later generations of countries had to carry the banner of democracy, the most popular in European circles in this time and space was "national liberation and national freedom", and the slave-owning officers of Brazil used the pretext of opposing the annexation of Brazil by the Roman Empire. And the majority of ordinary people in Brazil, including the newly emancipated black slaves, are also 'confused' and 'confused' by this banner, and now they are probably celebrating national independence while dancing samba!
"There is no problem with other South American countries, right?" Jujuan's greatest concern was the revolutionary contagion, but a 'chaos' in Brazil would not affect the decisive battle in North America, and if the entire Roman Western Empire was 'in chaos', things would be in trouble.
"There is no problem with the territory that originally belonged to the Mexican Empire, and the people supported the 'female' Caesar." Juarez thought for a moment and then said, "Paraguay and Argentina will not have a problem. King Perez's prestige in Paraguay is high. Argentina feared the invasion of the new Japan, so it relied heavily on the protection of the Roman Empire. And with the exception of Brazil, the rest of the South American countries have long since abolished slavery. ”
"That's fine...... Jujuan thought for a moment and said, "Is there a way to settle it peacefully?" How about letting Pedro II abdicate and let Henry become king? ”
"Actually, those Brazilian officers hated King Henry." Juarez said with a wry smile, "And there must be another country behind Brazil's affairs, either Britain or ......."
"China?" Jujuan thought for a moment and shook his head, "Impossible, it's mostly the handiwork of the British." ”
Juarez thought for a moment and said, "It's also possible that Francisco. King Perez is a troublemaker, a well-known careerist in South America who has always coveted the territories of Brazil and Argentina. However, the United Kingdom of Paraguay-Uruguay has been governed quite well by him, and has developed well in industry and agriculture for more than a decade, and has attracted a large number of immigrants from Europe. Moreover, King Peres has also established a standing army of up to 50,000 people, and its combat effectiveness is very considerable, and it also has a complete mobilization system. ”
Another character who is not willing to be lonely. "In the entire Roman Empire, I don't know how many such figures there were, but Napoleon IV still had the heart to dominate Europe." ’
"Looks like we need to mobilize in the Kingdom of Mexico!" As Jujuan spoke, he turned his gaze to Juarez, "Teacher, can you mobilize?" ”
"How many troops to mobilize?" Juarez asked.
"The more the merrier!" Juan said, "Now the situation is uncertain, and only with soldiers can we take the initiative." ”
Obviously, Jujuan's proposal to mobilize in Mexico was not entirely aimed at Brazil, and the war in North America had also reached the most critical time, and Juan did not mind using the Mexican army in order to achieve victory -- although the Mexicans were not very good in combat, they were still very numerous, and if the North American battlefield was fought until it was dark, the Donghua side suddenly had hundreds of thousands of more fresh troops, I am afraid that the outcome of the war would be decided!
Juarez thought for a moment, and already understood Juan's thoughts, and of course he also supported it. If Juan can unify the land of the former United States of America and then serve as the king of Mexico, he will definitely promote the union of Donghua and Mexico in the future, which will definitely be beneficial to Mexico, which is not rich in resources and land per capita.
"Okay, the first step is to mobilize the Mexican army to 500,000 people." Juarez said.
The Mexican Empire originally had a standing army of several hundred thousand, and a little mobilization numbered in the millions. However, now there is no Mexican army, and the original Mexican Imperial Army has been reorganized as part of the Roman Army. It is called the Mexican Army of the Roman Empire, the Central American Army of the Roman Empire, the Venezuelan Army of the Roman Empire, and so on. It was jointly managed by the Western Empire of the Roman Empire and the governments of the subordinate kingdoms.
Juarez proposed to mobilize the Mexican Army of the Imperial Roman Army, which was originally Mathilde's closest army, consisting of 10 legions, with 500,000 men at full strength, but less than 250,000 at present. In addition, the Mexican Empire originally had a Foreign Legion, about 50,000 men, which now belonged to the Western Empire of the Roman Empire.
"So how many troops to send to quell the rebellion in Brazil?" Juarez asked again.
"Let's send the Foreign Legion first, and the navy will escort them to occupy Rio de Janeiro and see if they can get it in one fell swoop." Juan pondered, "Then contact the United Kingdom of Paraguay and Uruguay to send troops, and as for the conditions, let King Henry negotiate with King Perez." ”; --47225+dsuaahhh+25176181-->
