Chapter 213: Attack from the North to the South! Who is the true emperor?!
Frey didn't say anything about Bazin's contempt, but Frey was not a fool, and he knew very well that Bazin was not a, and it was absolutely extraordinary to be able to scare Bazin into such an army.
It should be said that some of Bazin's military commands are still appropriate, for example, as soon as he arrived in Querétaro, he immediately packed up the local French army, and even ran to Guanajuato, which was a correct choice.
Because of the topography, Querétaro is a basin surrounded by mountains, there is no danger to defend, and the opponent is described by Bazin so powerfully, so naturally he can't fight the opponent in Querétaro.
Therefore, although Frey despised this Bazin in his heart, he did not completely disobey Bazin's opinion.
"Frey, Your Excellency my General! We should gather all the forces in Guanajuato now and attack Querétaro south, those guys from the American Empire are probably celebrating right now! Moreover, I have already sent my capable men to Mexico City before I move in, and Marshal Manignan should receive the news, so that we can attack up and down, and the American Empire will definitely be defeated by us! ”
Don't say it, this Bazin is really not a fool.
But will Frey be able to do what he says now?
"Bazin, my old friend, what about Guanajuato? You know, this is the lifeblood of Mexico's economy, and it took a lot of effort to get there, and that bastard from Juarez to the north is still staring at us! ”
Yes, Guanajuato can be said to be the top priority, don't look at the silver production here is declining, but this is also silver. Besides. It's pretty much except Mexico City. Mexico is the focus of the country.
Several major events in Mexico. It all started here, even the Mexican independence movement decades ago. In other words, the people here like to make trouble.
"Let's just keep 1,000 people! Anyway, Juarez's bunch of fools can't beat it! Bazin didn't even think about it.
"Hey, that's what you said."
Actually, Frey was just waiting for this sentence, how could he not see it, now go south to fight. It is very likely that he will make a contribution, and that is the American Empire, which made the French Empire suffer a big loss before, if he can kill them, then the French Emperor will not promote him, a general, to marshal?
And the point is, if Guanajuato is lost, it will not be good, but however, now Bazin has said, then this military operation. Even if it's your Bazin's Jianyì, I, Frey, am just following the advice.
Let's put it this way. In fact, officialdom is a bear in both the East and the West......
That's the case in Guanajuato, but what about Mexico City to the south?
"Report! Your Excellency, General! The advance of the American Empire had reached Querétaro, and General Bazin turned north to join forces with General Frey and attack south. General Bazin hopes that His Excellency the General will also send troops to help! Attacking up and down, you will definitely be able to defeat the American Empire in one fell swoop! ”
The same guy with a rather bad image, he is obviously Bazin's right-hand man, and this guy arrived in Mexico City almost at the same time as Bazin arrived in Guanajuato.
Because Querétaro is in the middle of Guanajuato and Mexico City, and on the other hand, Mexico City is still farther away, and the solo horse is relatively fast.
Now the report is heard by General Almont of the French Expeditionary Force, after the previous occupation of Mexico City, General Almonte was elected interim president of Mexico, and he organized a military government of 35 people, so it is only natural that he should sit in Mexico City.
But Mexico City is very interesting right now. Before Almont could speak, someone rushed to him.
"The American Empire? How did they do it so quickly? "This is the current Emperor of Mexico, His Majesty Maximiliano I!
Maximiliano is really weird, in fact, in terms of identity, he is the current Austrian Emperor Franz. Joseph's younger brother, this Maximiliano is very strong in blood, that is, in terms of control, he has quite a status, he used to be the status of regent, but later, he was more strange, that is, the policies he implemented were more democratic and free.
An emperor, do you engage in democracy and freedom?
So, his brother masturbated him.
Brother, you can play something else......
Supposedly, Maximiliano is also a good person, a good person, but this is not a small blow. But immediately, the turning point came, and the wife of the French Emperor Napoleon III had a good relationship with Maximiliano's, so they decided whether to find something to do for this important person of the depressed Habsburg family.
This thing happens to be Mexico, you go there and be the emperor, just right.
Maximiliano was happy when he heard it, it was not that he was an official fan, but that he really had a set of theories of his own, and he was very envious of the kind of constitutional monarchy in Britain, and he wanted to implement this.
Thus, at the Castle of Miramar in Trieste, Italy, an Austrian was crowned and became the emperor of the country of Mexico, thousands of miles away!
Just this thing, everyone sounds like it's going to be weird and weird, but it happened!
What's even more bizarre is that when Maximiliano came to Mexico, he implemented a series of political systems that are now very advanced, such as a constitutional monarchy, democratic freedom, voting, parliament, freedom of religious belief, and reduced taxes...... Although the actual implementation has not yet been fully carried out, because it will take time, Maximiliano has shouted these slogans.
And what is even more bizarre is that the Mexican people oppose this series of institutional reforms!
But actually, someone deliberately wrote it, because the one who really opposed these things was Juárez, the former president of Mexico.
In addition, there is also the French Expeditionary Force, at this time there is the intervention of the American Empire, and there is the power of the Americans behind Juarez, that Schward is not idle.
So, in the world in 1864, the most bizarre place is Mexico!
Then the current situation is that the emperor of Mexico asked automatically. So...... The French army has to take care of this.
"Oh......" Almonte, a true Mexican power man. He was ready to say two words. But.
"Ahem! Ahem......"
There was a very violent cough, and an old man was helped out, this was none other than the marshal of the expeditionary force from France, Magnan!
"What's the matter? I heard that Querétaro was lost like this? It's all a bunch of rice buckets! ”
The old marshal's power is powerful, don't look at the cough is so bad, and even a little trembling on his body, but he can hold the field.
Needless to say. The herald said again, "Batin is not called running away, but turning in......
How did this marshal look like this?
I have to say that he is unlucky enough for this matter.
Either he fell into the sea in the Battle of the Florida Strait before, or the flagship Glory was sunk, and the old man had a good life and was rescued by others.
However, Marshal Magnão was almost seventy years old, and his body was really bad, so he naturally became ill. Then they went ashore, and that was to Veracruz. He was even more ill when he was not adapted, and then he had to rush all the way to Mexico City.
To tell the truth, the old marshal is really dedicated enough, and the average old man would have returned to the West long ago after such a toss.
But now, this time Manignan must come out, because the current situation is that Mexico has a former military president, and now there is an emperor Maximiliano, so what is he doing as a marshal?
This is the struggle for power, the old marshal must not be absent at this time, he just has to lie down, he must get the most important military command at this time, otherwise, the later French expeditionary force will be equivalent to giving it to others, and he, the marshal, is a troop transport officer.
However, that Almont is not stupid.
"Your Excellency, your body is still important, and the current situation can be handled well by me and His Majesty the Emperor." Very smart, he pulled up Maximiliano.
"Oh, Marshal Magnan, a man of loyalty, a model of the Empire! But at this time, it should be me, the emperor, who has picked up the burden, and now I order......"
Maximiliano is not stupid, he is now a puppet, no one listens to him, so he just looks at it like this?
Even if he can't really control the power of the army, but in the current situation, he has to show his face, otherwise others won't look down on him even more?
Cut, aren't you an emperor? If you fight a war on the land of your country, and nothing happens to you, then you are still an emperor?
It should be said that Maximiliano lived a little earlier, and if it had been later, he would have seen such a strange event, which would have happened in the Far East......
But who is Magnan? O marshal!
"No, this is the Empire's military operation! As the Supreme Commander of the Empire in Mexico, I must personally command! ”
Mannan was so embarrassed because he had lost his face before, and at sea, he made a boat disgraced, and he led France's strongest and most advanced Glory to a defeated battle, and the Glory was sunk, if he returned to France like this, then ...... Not to mention him as a marshal, I'm afraid that in the future, my descendants won't be able to raise their heads, and if they can't get it right, the title of the nobleman won't be kept!
So, Magnan has to fight for his life!
"Your Excellency, why do you do this?" Naturally, Almont was not reconciled.
"Yes, old marshal, you are seriously ill and need to rest." Maximiliano was not an idiot.
"Nope! I now order, the Imperial Expeditionary Force, to carry out the ...... at once"
"I command ......"
"I command ......"
These three are fighting!
But no matter what, no matter how weird the top brass of Mexico City is, this battle must be fought, and Querétaro must not be lost, this place is too important.
As a result, the final research was carried out and a result was obtained.
Maximiliano, Magnan, and Almont were all on the front line, especially His Majesty the Emperor, who was personally on the march......
So, isn't this an emperor to an emperor?
So who is the true emperor? (To be continued......)
