Chapter 84 News
The ship passed through the Far East and finally stopped at the port of Mombasa in East Africa.
With the help of telegrams from East Africa to Europe, Ernst learned about the successful rescue of Maximilian I.
What makes people laugh or cry is that after finding out in East Africa that Ernst sent people to fish him out, Maximilian I refused to return to Europe at any cost and refused to move forward in the East African colonies.
He also sent a telegram instructing his son-in-law, whom he had never met, not to inform the Habsburgs of his whereabouts.
Ernst did not dare to make his own decisions. After receiving the news that Maximilian I was safe, he still informed the Queen Mother Sophie.
As early as Mexico announced that Maximiliano I would be executed, European countries actually got the news. Many royal leaders asked Juárez not to execute Maximiliano I.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire was naturally included, but Maximiliano I was too arrogant. When the person who took the third prize ran away, he even called him. He also thought about coexisting with Mexico, and was finally killed by Juárez. Government prisoners.
Although Queen Carlotta asked for help in Europe, various countries did not have the ability to send troops to Mexico, or did not want to interfere in the situation in Mexico. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had just experienced the failure of the Austro-Prussian War and was confronting Italy in the Mediterranean. Naturally, the navy did not have the extra capability to reach the Atlantic Ocean. to interfere in Mexico's internal affairs.
Therefore, all countries could only send telegrams to persuade Juárez to change his mind, but Juárez still insisted on shooting Maximiliano I.
Just when Juarez was sure of victory, Ernst's people caught him off guard. They didn't really think they had to follow the country's rules for everything!
Ernst, who had no martial ethics, directly used the most unpretentious means from ancient times to the present to fish Maximiliano I out of the quagmire of Mexico.
At that time, Mexico had just experienced a civil war, and there were many warlords in the country. The chaotic situation could be imagined. Not to mention the current situation, Mexico would be like this in a few hundred years.
The natural inefficiency of Mexico's administration allowed Ernst's people to seize the opportunity and escape from Mexico, a land of right and wrong.
…
"God bless..." After the Queen Mother Sophie heard that her son was safe and sound, Sophie's hanging heart was half relieved.
Naturally, it was impossible for the Mexican government to send out the news that it had lost someone, especially when it was unknown who had kidnapped the emperor.
Therefore, before Maximiliano I arrived in East Africa, no other country except Ernst's people knew that someone had kidnapped Maximiliano I in front of the Mexican government.
"Ernst, thank you very much this time. Why didn't I think of using mercenaries to rescue Ferdinand (Maximiliano I)." Franz said with self-blame.
Franz could only think of mercenaries. In fact, for such an important task, it was naturally impossible for Ernst to use mercenaries.
Mercenaries only use money to do things, and they may be swayed when things go wrong. Ernst is sure that if mercenaries are used to carry out the rescue plan this time, there will definitely be people like Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang who are frightened. .
After all, Mexico is such a big country, and Juarez is now in charge of the overall situation. If you go against him, it makes no difference to say that you are going against the entire Mexico.
Therefore, the people involved in this operation must be loyal and not waver because of the difficulty of the operation. Ernst did not have dead soldiers in captivity, so he could only use students from the Hechingen Military Academy.
For these students of the Hechingen Military Academy, Ernst was their parents who were still alive, and coupled with the education of loyalty and patriotism in the academy, they had a fanatical admiration for Ernst and the Hechingen royal family.
Now that loyalty is there, everything else will be easier to handle. As early as after the marriage, Ernst arranged for a group of students with outstanding academic performance to join the special operations team.
They were trained for several months, while the other side continued to collect intelligence on Mexico and continuously made targeted changes to the action plan.
Only before Maximilian I was about to be executed, students from the Hechingen Military Academy came to the rescue in time.
"Your Majesty, no one would have thought that Juarez and His Majesty Maximiliano I were both relatively rigid. One would execute a monarch regardless of international public opinion, and the other would rather die for his country than live and die with Mexico, a country that is terminally ill." It's true.
If Ernst had thought about it differently, if he were Juarez, he would never disgust the royal families of various countries in Europe. The United States next to him is the real thorn in his side. You still ignore the intervention of European countries and insist on disgusting the monarchs of various countries. Wait for the future When the Americans come, Mexico is really helpless.
Don't look at the US President's hypocritical hope that Juarez would let Maximiliano I go. It is estimated that Americans were happy when they heard that Juarez was going to execute Maximiliano I.
Americans have always coveted and been wary of Mexico. Even after the Civil War ended, the first thing the U.S. government did was to send people to the U.S.-Mexico border to spy on military intelligence.
When it heard that Juarez was still fighting guerrillas, the U.S. government was elated and immediately shipped weapons and ammunition to Mexico to support his overthrow of the monarchy.
But when I think about it when I was in Maximiliano I's position, Mexico was originally a quagmire, and Adou couldn't be helped out.
For a start like Mexico's, there must be ruthless people who dare to radically reform Mexico. Mexico is originally relatively weak against the United States.
If you can't make a fist yourself, you can only be cannibalized step by step by the Americans.
And Maximiliano I was a liberal. In that case, why did you go to Mexico to become emperor? I really can't figure out his brain circuit.
This reminds Ernst of Franz's son, Crown Prince Rudolf, who was also a liberal and even hated the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He later publicly declared that he wanted to be the president of Austria and Hungary.
? ? ?
It’s really not a family, don’t enter the same door. Poor Rudolf finally died in love with his mistress in extreme depression. Unlike his uncle, he could also bring disaster to his country.
There is definitely a big problem with the education of the Austro-Hungarian royal family! I wonder what Princess Karina is like! You should know that the education of the first two was personally managed by Queen Mother Sophie, and Princess Karina was personally brought up by Queen Mother Sophie since she was a child.
Ernst looked at the little Karina in the arms of Queen Mother Sophie. The little girl was only eleven years old. She only knew that her father had been saved by the person in front of her. Her grandmother was in a much better mood. She had a pair of watery big breasts. His eyes looked around curiously.
He still looks very smart, at least there is light in his eyes, not that lifeless look. Most patients with depression are depressed and depressed, and their faces have a feeling of hatred and deep suffering.
Obviously, Karina has no worries. Perhaps because she is a woman, Queen Mother Sophie did not involve politics in her education and did not emphasize any responsibilities, so Karina's growing up environment was still very relaxed.
