Chapter Eighty-Three: Saving Massimiliano I

June 19, 1867.

Compared to Juarez, Massimiliano I can be said to have no statesman's thinking and ability.

As a traditional monarch supported by the conservative forces of Mexico and Napoleon III, he greatly implemented the republican system in his policy, and at the same time naively thought that the two sides could shake hands and make peace with his opponent Juarez and other republicans.

Juárez did not disappoint Massimiliano I, seized on the poor innocence of Massimiliano I, and soon made a comeback, and now he has imprisoned Massimiliano I.

If Ernst had become Emperor of Mexico, he would have vigorously supported the local conservatives, stabilized the French, and actively suppressed the so-called revolutionaries.

As for the reactionary forces, backward systems, and decadent rule, that is, Yile, for example, in the previous life, the leaders and governments of so many small African countries were rampant with corruption, which made the heavens angry and resentful, and the people were not able to make a living.

Even if they are forced to flee overseas, their descendants can even return to their home countries to run again, which is perfectly suited to American-style democracy.

As long as you can promise benefits to the local elites, you have a chance to be elected, as for the black history of your father's generation, do those people in Africa really not know? What is the rule of the family in the local area, will it be forgotten in a generation or two?

It can only be said that the votes in the hands of the people can be discounted, even if the people do not accept this set, and really elect a president who dares to serve the people, the elite can also arrange a "top" one-stop service for the so-called democratically elected president.

Political struggle is life and death, and you can't detach yourself from your own basic plate, Massimiliano I, as a second ancestor, implemented the idealistic administrative model very well.

From this aspect it can be said that Massimiliano I is also a clear stream in the history of the world, he may not be a good emperor, but he is definitely not a bad person.

And he did not run away after his defeat, which Ernst was ashamed of, and Massimiliano I was really a very disciplined man.

Admiration is admiration, but let Ernst be a person like Massimiliano I, that will definitely not work.

And as Ernst's father-in-law, Ernst can't save Massimiliano I from death, he still has the ability to help, and whether he can achieve it depends on the will of God.

……

Three o'clock in the morning.

Massimiliano I, who was neatly dressed, came out of his cell and was escorted to the execution ground by Mexican soldiers.

The execution ground was selected in the suburbs, which can also be regarded as a beautiful place with mountains and rivers.

Massimiliano I slowly turned around, took a handful of gold coins from his coat pocket, and distributed them to the executing soldiers.

……

Roy Lee, graduate of the Heshingen Military Academy.

"Is Vincent Cassel ready?"

"Don't worry, Lee, this time it's the latest explosives invented by Mr. Nobel, which can definitely blow up the entire wall."

"Very good, let our men be ready, wait until the explosion happens, open fire directly, and when the time comes, just stuff the Mexican emperor in a sack and take it away."

……

Massimiliano I, standing on the execution ground, was preparing to give his last "speech" for his death.

He said, "I ......."

"Boom ......"

Before a word could be uttered, a series of loud noises were heard around the execution ground, and a large hole more than ten meters wide was blown open in the wall of the execution ground.

There was a sudden riot in the crowd, and the cadets of the Heixingen Military Academy, dressed as Indians, shouted in the Indian language: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Mexican Empire." ”

He took out a pistol from his bosom and shot wildly at the Mexican soldier who was still in a state of confusion.

Roy Lee shot the Mexican officials at the execution site several times to prevent them from organizing a counterattack.

Outside the walls, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and a group of masked men on horseback broke into the execution ground and galloped in front of Massimiliano I.

Massimiliano I looked at the chaotic execution ground with a blank expression, and before he could react, he felt that his eyes were black and he was trapped in a sack.

The cadets of the Heixingen Military Academy threw the hundred-and-ten-pound Massimiliano I on the back of the horse with a sack attached to it.

With a whistle, all the Heixingen Military Academy cadets in the execution ground got on their horses, and at the same time, the bullets continued to attack the crowd.

The soldiers of the Mexican execution ground watched as His Majesty the Emperor was kidnapped by this group, and the unlucky execution ground officials were even more breathless.

……

At ten o'clock in the morning, Juárez received news that Massimiliano I had been kidnapped.

"Bang ......"

Juarez angrily slammed his hand on the table, and the Mexican Republican officials were so angry that they didn't dare to come out.

"Who's the target? Is it French or Austrian? Juarez asked.

"Mr. President, according to the survivors present, there are about forty or fifty of them, and they are equipped with horses, and they have planted explosives at the execution site in advance, and after investigation, it is very likely that our soldiers were bribed by them to obtain information, so they can find the location of the execution site."

"Because they did not anticipate it in advance, they took us by surprise, an effective counterattack was not organized on the spot, and the enemy did not leave any wounded and corpses."

"To get to the point, we have to figure out who the enemy is, not how we go back to events," Juarez said. ”

"Mr. President, based on the characteristics of the suspects provided by witnesses at the scene, they are indeed Indians, and they speak an Indian dialect. But we know it's impossible! So this is most likely a Mexican outlaw hired by the French. ”

Juarez was an Indian, so the government officials certainly couldn't say that the Indians had planned it, and the students of the Heixingen Military Academy were originally Asian-faced, just like the Indians, and the Mexicans couldn't imagine that anyone would use people from the Far East to participate in Mexican affairs.

After a period of analysis, the Mexican authorities did not receive any useful information.

At this time, Massimiliano I was stuffed into a carriage and rushed madly towards the west coast of Mexico with the students of the Hashingen Military Academy.

At this time, Massimiliano I knew that someone had saved him, but his two generals, Miguel Miramón and Tomás Messi, remained at the execution ground.

Massimiliano I also tried to communicate with the students of the Heshingen Military Academy, but Ernst, who had already ordered it, ordered all students not to speak to Massimiliano I.

The mission of the students of the Heshingen Military Academy to Mexico was to bring Massimiliano I back to Europe.

In order to prevent Massimiliano I from doing bad things, Ernst made a point of emphasizing that the trainees should treat Massimiliano I as if he were wood.

……

The next day, noon.

After a frenzied journey for a day and a night, several horses were exhausted to death, and the group finally arrived at the pre-agreed shore.

A Hashingen ocean-going ship that had recently been on a mission in Alaska was already waiting here, and they sent a small boat to pick up the students of the Haheingen Military Academy and Massimiliano I.

With the roar of steam, the ship left Mexico and headed for Alaska, and everyone was safe.
