Tom stood in the Smith Farm conference room, in front of a whiteboard.

On the blackboard behind him hangs the current map of the United States and Mexico.

"In the first battle, let's take Mexico, right?"

"The outlet of the Pacific Ocean, the landing port of the earth-facing employees, the first step to change the world!"

"Mexico and France, look at the United States, which is fifty years ahead of schedule!"

"Rely on absolute productivity to lead and crush all enemies!"

"The president of Mexico?"

"Benito Pablo Juárez García."

"Let's see the "governing philosophy" that crosses the era! ”

Tom, on the other hand, is assigning the tasks of each hero company executive in this war.

"Grab money?"

"Grabbing the ground?"

"Exporting goods?"

"These ignorant European slave owners, look at how the capital hegemons of the new era rule the vassal satellite states!"

"Mexico is nothing more than a springboard, a springboard to jump to Central and South America."

"Rohmism is too weak, let's try a new Thomism!"

"A better tomorrow for the capitalists! Yes! ”

Tom placed his hands heavily on the whiteboard behind him.

Tom decided to launch the first assault on the original order of this world.

——————

January 1, 1867

The present war situation in Mexico's French War is in great shape for the United Mexican States.

Frontal battlefield aspect.

The United Mexican Army, which had only been engaged in guerrilla warfare until now, began various frontal counterattacks and recaptured a large amount of territory occupied by the Second French Empire front.

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

On May 30, 1866, 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, 1866, 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 Empire, but tried to leave Mexico.

The "Founding Emperor" of the Second Mexican Empire - His Majesty Massimiliano I.

He was sitting 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 could not 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 the palace on Chaputpec Hill with a "Tong Xiang jade" face, looked at the group of "loyal" royalists in front of him, and couldn't 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 not as rich as the counts of Austria.

The Mexican Empire had a large empty territory, and the result was a gang of tax-resistant farmers and plantation owners.

Even if the money is collected, it is basically classified as the Second French Empire.

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 followed Massimiliano I when he was just born slowly walked to Massimiliano'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 would not despise Massimiliano I because the palace was "unqualified".

After all, the other party is just a puppet emperor, and now that my father doesn't love my mother, it's 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?
