Chapter 58: Mexico's Sue

"Mr. Tom Smith, I ask you for peace on behalf of the United Mexican States."

"We are willing to pay five million dollars in war reparations."

"It will be paid over 30 years, with a total of $20 million including interest."

"The Mexican government is willing to pledge the minerals from all mines in northern Mexico."

"I beg you to stop the war and leave Mexico with your "knightly squire". ”

Porfirio Díaz could only continue to suppress the anger and grievances in his heart, and forcibly popped out of his teeth with a bunch of humiliating words prepared in advance.

"Does your Mexican government still have credibility? Have you forgotten what provoked this war? ”

When Tom heard these exaggerated conditions, he didn't even bother to raise his head, and directly refused coldly.

PS: The Franco-Mexican War broke out because President Benito refused to pay the high interest on the loans of the European powers, which angered the European powers, especially Napoleon III, who was in dire need of diplomatic prestige and money in the midst of major reforms at home.

"We've also investigated, you're a great businessman who started from scratch and quickly became America's richest man, and you've been spending tens of millions of dollars a month since you intervened in our Mexican civil war."

"And at the moment, from a business point of view, I haven't seen the slightest return."

"This kind of behavior that does not outweigh the losses does not quite fit your image as the number one businessman in the United States and even the world."

"Isn't timely stop loss a necessary quality for every good businessman?"

Porfirio Díaz still has a calm "kindness" on his face, reminding Tom that his HERO company is already losing money.

Trying to remind Tom in terms of profit that this war has nothing to gain for you as a businessman, you are a businessman, a good businessman, but also only a businessman!

Tom also understood what Porfirio Díaz meant by constantly mentioning the word "business", and a Nike smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, and he snorted coldly.

"Hmph~"

Tom pointed to "Tom Smith Hears the Death of Massimiliano I" behind him, and Porfirio Díaz also followed Tom's finger and looked at the world-famous painting that can be called "weird".

"Do you see this painting?"

"See, sir, on this painting, why are you like this?"

"At that time, I heard that my supreme lord was executed by you sinister and cunning liberals, and I cried for five days and five nights in grief and indignation, and the painter was by his side and kept referring to the painting."

"This ......"

Porfirio Díaz calculates the days in his heart, isn't it just today?

There is no redness or swelling in the eyes, you say you cried for five days?

Are you fucking kidding me? (Maintain the Internet environment, don't swear from you, me and him, the original meaning of English: you are teasing me in English scolding street version.) )

"I swore an oath to the five patron saints to be loyal to Your Majesty, and the king died and the ministers died, and I did not go with Your Majesty just to take revenge, to take revenge on you shameless rebels."

"Four or five? I also forgot, it seems that there is a saint-Martin or a saint-donkey? I can't remember. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that there are too many mountains in Mexico, I would have rescued Mexico City as the Polish hussars did with Vienna, and killed all of you ownerless."

"You vulgar people who don't understand etiquette, accept the sanctions of my paladins."

Porfirio Díaz looked at Tom's innocent face and said this blasphemous word, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Forget it if you don't know it, Porfirio Díaz is a high-ranking military officer in the United Mexican States, a commander with real power.

In Porfirio Díaz's memory, Tom's "devil's army" had stopped since the day of Massimiliano I's arrest, when the United States tried overnight and pronounced the death sentence.

It was only a month later, after the execution of Massimiliano I, that he began to push forward again.

Porfirio Dias, a Mexican general, knew that if the "Devil's Army" advanced at the original speed, it would definitely be able to reach Mexico City before the execution day.

Porfirio Díaz said in his heart: "I think you just want the emperor to die!" ”

Tom didn't have the ability to read minds, but with his years of experience in dealing with people, he could see that the envoy of the United Mexican States in front of him was already on the verge of going berserk.

Tom wants to add another fire.

"Only the noble Habsburg bloodline can rule over the barbaric land of America, which ignores the suzerain."

"The Mexican throne must be in the pocket of my lord's family, not you monkey-like primitives."

"I will once again put the blood of the Lord on the throne of Mexico."

Porfirio Díaz was a little nervous, who in the world didn't know that Massimiliano I had no queen!

Is it possible to pick up another nobleman from Europe?

Who dared to come from the Habsburgs, the emperor's own brothers were shot.

Other families did not dare to come to be emperors, let alone the question of life when they came, this act was not to give face to the Habsburgs.

Porfirio Díaz let out a long sigh of relief, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Tom didn't expect this ordinary envoy to be so enduring.

(Tom didn't know that the man in front of him was the future dictator of Mexico, a man who would leave a strong mark on history.) )

Tom put down the document in his hand, walked to the bottom of the world-famous painting, and once again recalled the tragic episode of generations of people, revealing the expression on the painting.

"Your Majesty, you died so miserably~"

"I will avenge Your Majesty, and I will show the glory of the Habsburg name in America!"

"I'm Your Majesty's Chief Royal Knight!"

"Woo~Woo~Woo~"

Porfirio Díaz was disgusted by Tom's clumsy acting skills, and the "Sichuan Opera" behavior of changing his face in this second made Porfirio Díaz unable to bear it anymore.

"Those who deceive the world and use oil paintings to deceive the world!"

"Don't even respect the Lord, what a faithless villain!"

"Obviously you killed Massimiliano I, and you're still pretending here!"

"You're a knight in vain!"

Porfirio Díaz yelled at Tom Smith that he didn't want to be in the same room with this slut again, and turned around and left the reception room.

It's no wonder that Porfirio Díaz has a poor psychological capacity, it's really impossible to find someone who dislikes him like Tom these days.

Experience determines horizons.

The location determines the road.

In his previous life, Tom "experienced" an era of great emancipation of human rights from the history books.

In this era, apart from Tom's worst enemies, the students of "Mr. Ma" and other human rights fighters, it is quite difficult to find someone whom Tom does not despise.

Tom is a time-traveler, and from the bottom of his heart he despises the backward ideas of this era.

It is even more contemptuous of those who promote this kind of thinking, or use it to gain benefits and status.
