No matter how much the Americans glorified the Battle of Texas, it could not change its aggressive nature, so Franz planned to help the field.

The Americans' method of subverting Texas was not clever, that is, to dilute the local Mexican population with mass immigration, like boiling frogs in warm water, and by the time the Mexican government found out, the number of American immigrants had already exceeded the number of Mexican people.

Due to the constant friction between the new American immigrants and the local indigenous Indians and Mexicans over water and land, the Mexican government had to step in and introduce a new law prohibiting American immigrants from entering.

But because Texas was sparsely populated at the time, and Americans didn't intend to comply, Mexico's Immigration Prohibition Act was nothing more than waste paper.

In 1824, at the urging of Catholic forces in Mexico, slavery was abolished, and by 1830 slaves were no longer present in Mexico except Texas.

American immigrants did not intend to comply with Mexican law, and they continued to build plantations to buy black slaves.

Demanding the release of slaves was unacceptable to American immigrants at the time.

Before the end of the Civil War, black slaves were an important economic pillar of the American South.

Cutting off one's money is like killing one's parents, and this doomed a war between Mexicans and these American slave owners.

By 1835, seeing that the time was ripe, the United States simply incited direct independence of Texas.

Later, the Mexican president took the expedition in person, but lost his troops at Alamo, and was captured at the Battle of San Jacinto, and was forced to sign the Treaty of Velásco to recognize the independence of Texas.

The Mexicans will be defeated so badly, although the United States is far stronger than Mexico in terms of military strength and social organization, but the Mexicans are not without a chance, at least they should be able to scrape off a piece of American meat.

On January 1, 1836, Mexican President Tasan Anna decided to go to Texas in person.

"Mr. President! Mr. President! There is your letter! ”

Tasan Anna, the newly appointed vice president, Ruvel, shouted anxiously.

"Ruvier, you're now vice president, not my herald. As a high-ranking national official, you must look like a high-ranking official. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Ruvel has been following Tasan Anna since he became a herald, and is Tasan Anna's most trusted subordinate.

Tasan Anna was a soldier at heart, he was not interested in politics, but he had a sense of power, without preventing him from leaving all politics to former Vice President Valias, and he hid himself in the barracks as a general.

After the latter got the power of the president, he wanted to do something, first launched a series of government projects, and then cut the army, increased taxes, limited the power of the church, and caused a deficit in the treasury, and there were many complaints.

In the end, under the combined pressure of the army, the church, and the people, Tasan Anna had to remove Valias and replace him with his aide-de-camp, Lieutenant General Ruvel.

However, this lieutenant general Ruvel is just a herald, but Ruville is rarely so excited.

Tasan Anna was a little curious about the origin of the letter.

"Whose letter is it? I guess, could it be Andrew Jackson? ”

"No, sir, it's a letter from the royal family."

"Royalty?"

"It's a letter from the Austrian Imperial Family, sir."

Tasan Anna received the letter with some emotion, signed by Archduke Franz Carr.

"You can go, sir."

"Yes.. Yes, Mr. President! ”

After Ruvel left, Tasan Anna looked at the letter with emotion, for it read, "My dear brother, Tasan Anna. ”

Tasan Anna joined the Mexican War of Independence at the age of 16, first in the Spanish army and later in the rebel army, and in 1829 was called a national hero for his stubborn resistance to the last Spanish attack.

After the Mexican victory, some even called him "the savior of Mexico", but Tasan Anna modestly replied, "I am the Napoleon of North America." ”

At this time, North America, whether it was the United States or Mexico, was regarded as a barbarian land by Europe, and it was very difficult to gain European recognition.

And now an Austrian royal family member is actually called a brother to Tasan Anna, you must know that after Napoleon III came to the throne, he was not recognized by European countries for a long time, and even the tsar used the title "my friend" to deliberately humiliate Napoleon.

At this time, Tasang Anna's mood was as excited as when the Japanese country was awarded the title of "Japan".

When Tasan Anna opened the letter, he read two paragraphs in a good mood, and he already regarded the Archduke Franz Karl as his own half-brother.

For such arrogant people, of course, it is necessary to hold it up first.

Franz praised the abolition of slavery in Mexico, affirmed the exploits of Tasan Anna, and strongly condemned the aggression of American immigrants.

These were the things that Tasan Anna wanted to see the most, and he was ready to send an envoy to Austria to establish diplomatic relations.

Tasan Anna continued reading, and the next words shocked him.

That's the status quo in Mexico, where there are many factions and fragments, the treasury can't make ends meet, the army is seriously insufficient, the weapons are all antiques from the last century, and the most important thing is that he has moles around him.

Tasan Anna was surrounded by American moles, which was Franz's own speculation.

After all, the battle of San Jacinto was too strange, not to mention how the Americans cut off the Mexicans' back without the Mexicans noticing, and successfully attacked in broad daylight.

Tasan Anna's course of action alone should not have been so easily grasped by the Americans.

You know, there were no mobile phones at that time, and a lot of messages had to be delivered by people.

The news reached the barracks, gathered the troops, waited for the infantry to arrive, and then cut off the enemy's rear route, and finally launched a sneak attack.

In the end, the Mexican army lost 700 men, and the Texans lost 11 killed and 28 wounded.

If it's all a coincidence, the odds are too low.

Franz believed that there must be a spy by Tasan Anna's side, and whether there were dates or not, he would shoot two shots in case he was hit.

Mexico's current situation is the case with many factions and fragments, a treasury that cannot make ends meet, and a serious shortage of troops.

Tasan Anna couldn't help but fall into deep thought, although he believed his men, but a grand duke far away in Europe knew the state of his country, and he had to doubt the secrecy of his subordinates.

In the end, Franz offered a solution, wooing Catholicism and building relations with the media, while Austria planned to sell Mexico a batch of 20,000 rifles, two military observers, and a professional tabloid editor.
