Chapter 332

Although he did not understand the reason for the Government of Vienna's change of position, Thomas still took action immediately.

At this point, if he did not personally go into action, there would probably be a one-sided situation as soon as the meeting started.

One should not assume that all countries would stand against the French just because everyone did not want to see the French expand.

The assassination had already put the Kingdom of Sardinia in a disadvantageous position. What's more, the Sardinian government had not taken any action to punish the culprit that the various countries wanted to see.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Sardinian government, the Charcoal Burning Party was powerful and involved a lot of people. The assassination was all done by a few teenagers, and there was no mastermind behind it at all.

But in the eyes of the various governments, regardless of whether it was premeditated or not, the higher-ups of the Charcoal Burning Party were to blame for what happened.

The best thing for the Sardinian government to do was to arrest the higher-ups of the Charcoal Burning Party first and let everyone see their determination to fight the evil organization.

How could Gafur not see this situation? But as a member of the Charcoal Burning Gang, he couldn't cut himself with this knife.

The end result was that the Sardinian government had randomly arrested a few people to get away with it. In the eyes of the outside world, this was a sign of insincerity.

Originally, Thomas had advocated for the Sardinian government to annihilate the Charcoal Burning Party and give the French an explanation.

After understanding the political structure of the Kingdom of Sardinia, he dispelled this unrealistic idea. This was beyond the ability of the Sardinian government. It was fine if they did not act, but once they did, the world would be turned upside down.

If they were forced into a corner and became the leader, the Kingdom of Sardinia would be finished in minutes.

…

In the Palais des Bellefontaines, Franz could no longer care about the diplomatic war in Paris. After his unremitting efforts, Empress Helen's belly grew bigger again.

Compared to the next generation of the House of Habsburg, the survival of the Kingdom of Sardinia was clearly secondary. No matter how eloquent Gafur was, his offer could not be higher than Austria's.

The original value of the Kingdom of Sardinia was to act as a buffer between the two countries of the Fao. Later, the British felt that they had a fighting spirit and decided to support them to unify the Regions of Italy, restrain the two countries of the Fao, and balance the strength of the countries in the Mediterranean.

However, the Kingdom of Sardinia was unlucky to encounter Franz and was crippled in the last Austrian War. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Sardinia would not be able to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia.

"Frederick The Great," Franz said lovingly.

The little fellow had been restless ever since he learned to walk. He was filled with boundless curiosity towards this world, constantly creating trouble for it.

Of course, Franz wasn't worried about these troubles. A two-year-old child would only look cute even if he was mischievous.

According to the rules, the little fellow was the same thing. as the little fellow. According to the rules of the Hapsburg Family, the little guy only had four years of freedom left before the Hell Instance Dungeon began.

This was the responsibility and obligation of being born into the royal family. As long as one wasn't a fool, after this set of training ended, they wouldn't be useless.

Reality was not a novel. Most of the nouveau riche were born into a nouveau riche. The success rate of the children of the clans with true heritage was much higher than that of ordinary people.

Family they had a result. as Place. The family members of the Academy. For example, Franz's younger brothers. They might be inconspicuous in the Royal Family, but they would be outstanding.

Franz was still having a headache about the placement of his younger brothers. According to his idea, it was best to let his younger brothers go down to train.

Unfortunately, because of his identity, if he really did that, it would easily cause the outside world to speculate.

After living together for a long time, he knew that his younger brothers were not easy to deal with. Although he hadn't reached the point where he was God's number one and his number two, his arrogance had already been completely revealed.

Last year, his second brother, Massimiliano, got married. He was still a worm at home. The couple had just returned from a trip to Europe.

It would be easy if he was a good-for-nothing like his father. He would eat, drink, and play every day. He would go hunting and horse racing with his friends.

Massimiliano was an idealist. He wanted to make a career.

A few years before, Franz had put Maximiliano Buendía into the Real Academy of Sciences to study plants with a few botanists, according to his interests.

Obviously, it was only a temporary measure. Someone in the House of Habsburg suggested that Massimiliano be the Regent of the Kingdom of Bavaria. However, the cabinet rejected the suggestion after Franz hinted.

Teren said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Mexican Constitutionalists entered Vienna. Preliminary speculation is that they are looking for a Catholic prince to be the Mexican Emperor."

Franz said calmly, "Send someone to keep an eye on them. See if they have any contact with those people."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Teren replied.

In European culture, emperors and kings depended on their bloodline. Many times, when the royal family died out or was banished, they would go to the king's country to find a new king.

Mexican emperors were always tragic. The first Mexican emperor, Agustín the First, was guillotined. It couldn't be helped. Who asked him to be crowned emperor like Napoleon?

Even though he led the Mexican Independence Movement and was highly respected in the country, he didn't have royal blood. No one recognized him as an emperor.

In this respect, Washington was smart and didn't step on this landmine.

After learning from the mistakes of the past, no one in Mexico dared to proclaim themselves as emperor. But for the Constitutionalists, there was no need for a constitution without an emperor.

As usual, they went to the German Region to find the king. In any case, almost all the kings of Europe came from the German region.

The House of Habsburg, which had a strong reputation, happened to be a supporter of Catholicism. Naturally, it was targeted by the Mexican Constitutionalists.

In history, Franz's unlucky brother, Massimiliano, was tricked into becoming emperor in Mexico under this background.

Franz ordered, "Jenny, ask someone to send me the information about Mexico."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the maid replied softly.

…

Without investigation, there was no right to speak. Without figuring out the specific situation in Mexico, Franz didn't dare to step on this landmine.

Frankly speaking, Mexico had a good foundation in this era. It was second only to the United States in terms of strength in the American continent.

The total population was close to eight million. More than half of them were mixed-race, 16% were white, and 30% were Native Americans.

But the racial conflict in Mexico wasn't serious. The mixed-race people were used to classifying themselves as white.

Mexico had a good climate and fertile land. Although it wasn't as good as the United States, it could easily support tens of millions of people.

It was especially rich in mineral resources, suitable for industrial development. Before the devaluation of silver, the silver empire was very rich and didn't even lack funds.

Logically, with such favorable conditions, even if Mexico's development couldn't compare to the United States, it wouldn't be too far behind.

But the reality was very cruel. It was like heaven on one side and hell on the other.

Mexico, which was supposed to be developed, was now completely an agricultural country. There was no sign of industrialization.

Everyone was busy fighting among themselves. Who cared about the country's development? If they wanted the country to be on the right track, they had to carry out a big purge. They had to get rid of the interest groups first before talking about development.

Franz somewhat understood why the House of Habsburg opposed Massimiliano becoming the emperor of Mexico.

Everyone was really doing it for his own good. In a situation where the House of Habsburg couldn't provide assistance, an idealist really couldn't deal with such a chaotic situation.

The opening of a hellish dungeon was only suitable for ambitious people. If it were Franz himself, he would rather go to Africa and start a colony than clean up this mess.
