The whole process of joining the Confederacy was already familiar to the members of the Confederation, and it was almost as if a family in Texas had found out that their ancestors were of German ancestry.

They had endured injustice for a long time, and in desperation, they finally made their way to Europe, where they happened to come to the Confederate Diet with the help of a member of parliament, crying out about their experiences and asking the Confederate troops to take back their homeland.

From Christmas Day 1842, when the elder Kurdray complained to the Confederate Congress of inaction, and succeeded in reclaiming his homeland after the Luxembourg Crisis, countless people wanted to follow suit.

King William IV of the Netherlands, Andreas Pretorius, the leaders of the Boers, Louis Philippe, and Leopold I, Archduke of Belgium, were all successful, and now even the Texans are joining in the fun.

Luxembourg was a member of the German Confederation, and the elder Kurdray also understood politics, popular will, and general trends.

Although they were forced to participate by nationalists, the states did not have much opinion on the crisis in Luxembourg.

The Dutch, Boers, and Alsatian Lorraines can also be classified as Germans in general, and Leopold I, the Grand Duke of Belgium, was born as an orthodox German aristocracy.

But what the hell is a Texan? A Yankee speaks inverted German with a French accent? The parliamentarians of the German Confederation were numb.

There was no way, the actor who was originally prepared suddenly had diarrhea, and the stand-in happened to be blocked halfway, so he had no choice but to let those Texas natives get on.

According to Franz's original plan, the Austrian Empire would create a family in Texas to cooperate with the Confederacy to rule the region.

But it doesn't matter, the co-colony is just one of Franz's sociological simulations. And if everything works perfectly, how can the importance of the Austrian Empire as the chairman of the Confederation be reflected?

Of course, Kafenjak would not have known what Franz was going to do next, and he himself had no problem with the Texas issue.

However, the division of the territory of the Texas colony surprised Kafenjak a little, that is, the German Confederation did not annex it alone, but divided it into three parts.

Mexico regained the lands annexed by France during the Mexican-American War, and in addition to gaining the original area of Northwest Texas, the United States gained the northeastern part of the Texas colony.

The land area acquired by the German Confederation was not very large, but it was the best part of the Coastal Plains in the Texas colony.

And with this operation, Mexico and the United States are once again bordering, and it is difficult to say that this is not intentional.

But what does that matter to France? Kafenjac didn't think France would ever return to North America.

Especially in recent years, the Texas colony has a serious tendency towards independence, and even if it had not been for the scene of 1848, I am afraid that sooner or later it would have followed in the footsteps of the British North American colonies.

Rather than breaking your muscles and bones in the future, it is better to cut a hundred at this time.

But he still has the desire to fight for the interests of France.

"Archduke Franz, France can make concessions on the issue of the Texas colony, and deal with it as you wish. …。。

But I want you to show your sincerity as well."

"I think that the French soldiers can return to France safely without any ransom, and I think that is our greatest sincerity."

Franz said it lightly, but Kafenjak was very annoyed in his heart, if it weren't for those damned cowards, the situation in France would not be so critical at this time.

"Bullshit sincerity? It's obviously forcing us to comply! Freaks of consanguineous marriage! It's not good!"

Kafenjac roared inwardly, but he didn't dare to say it.

"We have felt your sincerity. But after all, Texas is a territory that our country has legally purchased, and I still hope that you will compensate you accordingly."

(Timeline of the book: On October 26, 1836, Mexico sold Texas to France for 100 million francs.)

Country. ）

"As far as I know, your country paid only one-third of the actual price, and your country stole all of Texas for 12 years.

We have been entrusted by the President of Mexico, Tasan Anna, to recover this account from your country, and for 12 years the total amount of 208088600 francs with interest."

In fact, during the Mexican-American War, Mexico borrowed heavily from the Austrian Empire, which Tasan Anna pledged to the Austrian Empire after the war.

Of course, Franz could not have bought it at the original price, and this bad debt could only be deducted from one-tenth of its original value, which is 6.7 million francs.

As soon as he heard the money, Kafenjak wilted.

By this time, the debt of the Second French Republic had exceeded 1.5 billion francs, which was more than the debt of the Orleans dynasty in 18 years combined.

Not to mention taking out 200 million francs in one go, he didn't have 20 million francs.

By this time, Kafenjak had already regretted the issue of compensation with Franz, in fact, the latter had long known that the French would come to this set, so he bought the debt from the Mexican government at a low price.

Looking at Kafenjak's sad face, Franz knew that he couldn't afford to pay back the money.

"For the sake of peace on the European continent, Mr. Kafenjak, I want both of us to take a step back. We can extend a grace period of 20 years to your country at the rate of 8 per cent per annum."

Kafenjak thought for a while, but then stretched out his hand and said excitedly.

"Thank you! But I have one more request."

The content of the Strasbourg Treaty has been largely finalized.

1. The French Second Republic admits defeat in the war, and the two sides will formally cease fire on August 1, 1848.

2. The French Second Republic recognizes the independence of the Principalities of Belgium and Alsace Lorraine.

3. The Principalities of Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine join the German Confederation as independent states and enjoy all the rights of full members of the Confederation.

4. The French Second Republic and the Directory of Algeria shall cease all hostilities immediately after the entry into force of the present Treaty for a period of three years.

5. France shall return the illegally acquired colony of Texas to the Government of Mexico, and transfer all remaining rights and interests to the German Confederation.

The personal safety and non-immovable property of French survivors in Texas will be reasonably protected.

The remnants of France have the right to freely choose whether to stay or not, and neither side can interfere.

The German Confederation had the power to deal with the remnants of France who violated the laws and treaties of the Confederation in the Texas colonies, as well as those who violated the general morality of mankind.

6. The Second French Republic may not be merged with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Principality of Belgium, the Principality of Luxembourg and the Principality of Alsace Lorraine.

7. The Second French Republic fully withdraws its troops from the Kingdom of Sardinia and restores the territory and integrity of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

8. The French Second Republic transfers its rights to the northern part of Saint-Maarten to the German Confederation.

(Sint Maarten is a very small island in the Caribbean that has always been a Dutch-French condominium.) ）

Secret Protocol:

1. The Second French Republic recognized the German Confederation and the region of Southern Italy as the sphere of influence of the Austrian Empire, and prohibited clandestine infiltration and economic invasion.

2. The Second French Republic shall repay to the German Confederation 208088600 franc debt to be repaid over twenty years at an interest rate of 8 per annum.

3. The Austrian Empire should crush the Belvier Corps and ensure Belvie's own death before the Treaty of Strasbourg came into force
