December 6, 1866

The current situation of war is in a good shape for the United Mexican States.

Frontal battlefield aspect.

The United Mexican Army, which had been fighting guerrilla warfare until now, began various frontal counterattacks and recaptured a large amount of territory.

On the other hand, the situation in the Second Mexican Empire:

On 30 May, the Second French Empire, under pressure from the United States and Prussia, ordered the French expeditionary force to retreat.

On the surface, only a small number of "military advisers" and "volunteers" remained in the Second Mexican Empire.

On December 6, just today, the Austrian and Belgian volunteer armies were disbanded, and about 4,000 of the nearly 5,000 volunteers did not obey the "secret orders" of their homeland to stay in Mexico to help the Second Reich, but tried to leave Mexico.

Massimiliano I, the "founding emperor" of the Second Mexican Empire, sat in Mexico City at a loss, looking at the sand table in front of him, listening to the "good news" of the military minister, no matter how he decorated it, it was difficult to hide the "omen of failure".

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I should never have come to be emperor in the first place, and if I wasn't emperor, I wouldn't have lost my Austrian archduke."

"If I hadn't lost my Austrian archdukeship, I wouldn't have fallen to such a sad state, and if I hadn't fallen to such a sad point, I wouldn't have to listen to your nonsense."

"Now it's regret! Very regretful! ”

Emperor Massimiliano I, sitting in his palace on Chapultepec Hill, looked at the group of "loyal" royalists in front of him, and could not help but regret it in his heart.

Now his heart is remorseful, very remorseful.

I regret why I obeyed Napoleon III's bastard "distant relative" and came to this place where birds don't to be emperor.

What bullshit emperors are, they are not as rich as the Grand Duke of Austria, and they have a large empty territory, and they are all a bunch of tax-resistant farmers and plantation owners.

Even these seemingly loyal royalists in front of them turned against each other the next day as long as their estates were occupied by the United States Front, which was so "loyal"!

Even if the internal troubles are aside, the external troubles are no better than the external troubles of Austria.

In Europe, when Prussia and Austria had a little friction, they always had to worry about whether Great Britain, the French Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, Tsarist Russia, the Ottomans, and other forces would intervene.

And the Americas, as soon as they landed in Mexico, they were completely opposed by the American gang of hillbillies.

As soon as the Civil War ended, the Washington administration deployed more than 100,000 troops on the U.S.-Mexico border.

It's almost naked that they want to add a few "member states" to the United States.

What about the Americas that are said to be a bunch of indigenous and immigrant hillbillies?

An old butler who had been following Massimiliano I when he was a child slowly walked up to Massimiliano I's side and whispered a few words.

Massimiliano I's eyes, almost in despair, flashed with a glimmer of hope, and quickly dimmed.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a big dollar in the United States, can it really save me?"

"Forget it, forget it, I promised him at the beginning, so let's come when he comes."

"Even if he can't turn the tide of the battle, as long as he can hold back those barbarians for a while."

"Just drag France out of Europe."

Massimiliano didn't expect now that Tom Smith, the founder of the hero company who secretly came from Houston, Texas, would become a lifesaver for turning things around.

Tom rode in a horse-drawn carriage that traveled on the "Emperor's Avenue" inside Mexico City.

In the original timeline, the road was renamed "Paseo de la Reforma" to commemorate the success of Benito Pablo Juárez García's reforms.

The ending of the original historical line has been explained.

Tom, led by several royal guards, slowly walked into the palace of the Second Mexican Empire.

Tom couldn't believe that this was the palace, and Tom felt that it was at most the palace of some middle-high lordship holders in Europe.

The palaces in Tom's impression are the Forbidden City, the Kremlin and the Palace of Versailles, and no matter how bad they are, they are the White House, Buckingham Palace, and the palace of the Second Mexican Empire.

Both the scale and the luxury of the interior fell far short of the specifications that Tom imagined a palace to be.

Tom will not despise Massimiliano I because the palace is "not qualified", after all, he is just a puppet emperor, and now his father does not love his mother, it is a good time for Tom to "send charcoal in the snow" and "lion open his mouth".

How can such a good big fat meat be despised for it?

"Welcome to Mr. Smith, Mexico and France's best friend."

"Dear Your Majesty Emperor Massimiliano I, I have admired the name for a long time."

Emperor Massimiliano I lay in a luxurious bed and received Tom according to standard French court etiquette.

Tom didn't care, looking at Massimiliano I on the bed, with a "pork smile" on his face.

What is pork laughter?

When my aunt saw the junior grow up, she called her "aunt laughed".

When a pork dealer sees a good fat pork, he calls it "pork laugh".

Massimiliano I was also frightened by Tom's strange smile, and wondered if this was the strange etiquette of Texas commoner businessmen when they saw the emperor?

"Your Majesty, those barbaric Indians are so unruly!"

"The local plantation owners are too rude!"

"They are all a bunch of savage and backward ignorant people who don't know how to count!"

I dream that one day the feudal world will stand up again and truly live up to the true meaning of its creed: "We consider these truths to be self-evident – that all men are born unequal. ””

"I dream of a day when the sons of former dukes will be able to sit at the same table with the sons of former counts on the red hills of Mexico."

"I dream that one day, even the United States, where slavery is hidden and equality prevails, will become an oasis of aristocracy and slavery."

"I dream that one day the children of the future will live in a country where they will be judged not by their wealth, but by the level of their birth."

"My dream, last year, was shattered by the Yankees!"

"But I'm not reconciled!"

"I want to support Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have come from Austria all the way to restore the "glory of the monarch" in the Americas! ”

"You are a descendant of the supreme Habsburgs!"

"Your family deserves to rule the world!"

"And I, there is a secret recipe for you to truly become the ruler of Mexico!"

"I just don't know if Your Majesty is interested?"

Tom was preconceived, and when Massimiliano I was still confused, he "exported" to Massimiliano I, exporting "distorted" values that had no sense of justice and human rights.

Tom is a qualified capitalist, a capitalist of the new era, he can talk to the feminist fighter about human rights, why can't he talk to the feudal monarch about advocating hierarchy?

It's all about business anyway.

Although Massimiliano I was a puppet straw bale emperor, he was not a fool, and from Tom's speech that pointed out the country, exalted words, and "dung is now a capitalist", I heard what kind of "royalist" Tom was!

Hearing this, Massimiliano I was a little moved.

Then again, who wouldn't say big things?

Before Massimiliano I came to Mexico, the royalists in Mexico and France had no shortage of good words.

The result? And the result! As a result.

Massimiliano I no longer reminisces, and it is tears to reminisce.

Massimiliano I decided to listen to the proposal of this capitalist from the United States.
