"Go to Paris!"

"Crush the head of the Yali King!"

"Raw!"

When news reached Austria, the citizens were furious and demanded a declaration of war on France. The Austrians had little affection for Mexico, not even knowing that the latter was an economic colony of the Empire.

Nor did they react at the Paris Peace Conference, although they were somewhat disgusted by the United States' unannounced stance, some were disdainful of France's aiding and abetting, and some sympathy was for Mexico, an innocent victim.

But none of this was enough to affect the days of Vienna's singing and dancing, after all, the New World was synonymous with barbarism and ignorance.

Until a coffin and an obituary came from the sea, the people were outraged and they were surprised at the loss of Austria - four thousand people.

This is arguably the largest casualty figure a generation has ever heard of, after all, empires often choose to conceal casualties, or even falsify them.

That's why the number of 4,000 people is so shocking, in fact, if you are familiar with the history of Austria, you will not be shocked.

After all, the number of casualties in any lost battle will exceed this number, and even historians may not know how many defeats Austria has suffered.

And the fact that these obituaries included a large number of doctors, clergy, teachers, university students, and even aristocrats, who were supposed to be far from the battlefield, died in the war, and that made the populace particularly angry.

It's mostly a problem with yellow fever, the virus doesn't know who you are or who you are, and although Franz has prepared a lot for these people in advance, there are still a large number of health care workers and clergy who have been infected in contact with patients.

In fact, even Franz himself did not expect this, he thought that these people would choose to stay away from the epidemic area, and then find a few unlucky people to study.

As for teachers and students, their fighting enthusiasm is the highest, but their combat effectiveness is the worst. Their bravery did not protect them from bullets, and the cruelty of war was unimaginable.

The reason why the aristocratic lords have such high casualties can only be said that the Americans do not pay attention to martial virtues, and the latter specializes in officers, while the Austrian noble officers are at the forefront of the ranks is a centuries-old tradition, and they can't change it for a while.

Of course, in addition to these upper-class people, there are also bakers, shoemakers, miners, porters, tinkers, gardeners, farmers, security guards, veterans and other professions.

There are not many professional soldiers, which gives the public room for imagination, and in their eyes, Austrians go to Mexico for peacekeeping, humanitarian relief, and normal work.

But the Americans, under the command of the French, carried out a brutal massacre of innocent Austrians and signed an agreement that would continue to harm Austrians abroad in the future.

In fact, not only the lower classes but also the upper class hated the actions of the French, because the war would undoubtedly affect Austria's gains in Mexico.

This would have a direct impact on the economy and their lives, as they knew how much Mexican silver and commodities flowed into the Austrian Empire each year.

At the same time, the Austrian Empire had many veterans and veterans of the war against France, all of whom were now in high positions, and were indignant at the French picking Austrian peaches.

With the exception of Austria, the German states were also agitated, for two-thirds of them were Germans.

A large number of nationalists took the opportunity to jump up and down and incite anti-French sentiment, especially when atrocities against the French broke out in three South Germany.

Even Alsace and Lorraine, where French rule had been stable, were revolted, and the industrially developed populations of the lower classes were exploited more severely than in other regions.

Coupled with the current economic prosperity of the German region and the awakening of national consciousness, these Germans, who had been very supportive of France, were divided.

Louis Philippe didn't treat it as a big deal at first, thinking that he was just a rebel like Lyon, and if he gave them an unforgettable suppression, those people would learn to behave.

But if Guizot were still in the cabinet, he would have stopped Louis Philippe and Soult's madness, but by this time he was already in Texas and was still basking in the joy of having just acquired nearly 600,000 square kilometers of land (about the size of mainland France).

Soon a French army marched into Alsace-Lorraine and carried out a bloody crackdown on the local "mobs".

What was supposed to be an ordinary military operation changed when a handful of German nationalists fled into the Rhine region.

The French repressive forces pursued the remnants of the rebels, and some of the rebels crossed the Saar and Rhine rivers. When the French tried to continue the pursuit, they were strongly blocked by the Prussian army and the Baden army.

Although France is strong, it cannot go to war with its neighbors at will, but there is still a way to disgust these "villains" who "shield criminals".

They set up execution grounds by the river and carried out wanton killings and violence against women

As the saying goes, rabbits and foxes are sad and sad, not to mention those who are still connected to them by blood and language?

This behavior greatly angered the Germans on the other side of the river, and finally a Prussian soldier could not help but shoot and wound a French soldier.

Lieutenant General Jean-Baptiste Montmorency, who had fought in the Napoleonic Wars, saw the Germans as inferior, plus Lyon's example.

The veteran did not care at all how many people he killed or how many houses he burned, but he felt that he had to punish the Prussians for their provocations, so he ordered a very harshly worded letter to be sent, demanding that the French be compensated for the losses and that the German who had shot the French warriors be handed over.

In fact, Lieutenant General Montmorency was also deceived by his subordinates, after all, those people would not say that they were the first to "kill chickens and show monkeys" on the other side of the river.

Field Marshal Karl von Hagen on the other side of the river tore the letter to shreds and threw it in the face of the French courier.

"Damn! Why is he a lieutenant general so arrogant! That damn Frenchman is dead! No one can insult Prussia anymore! ”

However, it has to be said that the French people in this era are very proud and very dignified, and the junior officer who acted as a messenger not only did not have half fear, but said with his head held high.

"You shouldn't tear it up, because you're not qualified, that letter represents the goodwill of France, and if you and your country don't accept it, maybe we'll meet again in Berlin in eighteen days."

"Scum! (Versage) Lao Tzu fought the French all his life! Are you still afraid of you?! Go back and tell that bastard that I'll take my troops over now! "Marshal Carl von Hagen.

The French officer's chin was still held high, which made Marshal Carl von Hagen even more annoyed.

"Whoever has relatives on the other side of the river, give me ten slaps in the mouth! Make this goddamn Gallic chicken proud! ”

Thank you for your support.
