Chapter 84 Message
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 the news that Maximilian I was successfully rescued.
What makes people laugh and cry is that after finding out in East Africa that Ernst sent people to fish him out, Maximilian I refused to return to Europe, and Lai refused to move forward in the East African colonies.
He also sent a telegram, telling his son-in-law, whom he had never met, not to tell Habsburg his whereabouts.
Ernst did not dare to make his own claims, and after receiving the news of the safety of Maximilian I, he still notified Queen Sophie.
As early as Mexico announced that it would execute Maximilian I, European countries actually got the news that many royal leaders asked Juarez not to execute Maximilian I.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire is naturally included, but Maximilian I is too arrogant. He was called when the person who won the third prize ran away. government captive.
Although Queen Carlota asked for help in Europe, countries were unable to send troops to Mexico, or did not want to interfere with the situation in Mexico, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had just experienced the defeat of the Austro-Prussian War and confronted Italy in the Mediterranean Sea. Naturally, the Navy did not have the extra capacity to go to the Atlantic Ocean to interfere in Mexico's internal affairs.
Therefore, all countries can only send a telegram to persuade Juarez to change his mind, but Juarez still insists on shooting Maximilian I.
Just when Juarez was sure of winning, Ernst's people caught him off guard. He didn't really think that everything should be done according to the national system!
Ernst, who doesn't talk about martial arts, directly used the most unpretentious means from ancient times to the present to fish Maximilian I out of the muddy quagmire of Mexico.
At that time, Mexico had just experienced a civil war, and there were many warlords in the country. The chaotic situation can be imagined. Not to mention the current situation, Mexico will be like this in a few hundred years.
The natural administrative efficiency of Mexico like this is low, so Ernst's people seized the opportunity and escaped from Mexico, a place of right and wrong, in one go.
…
"God bless..." After the Queen Mother heard that her son was safe and sound, Sophie's hanging heart was half relieved.
It is naturally impossible for the Mexican government to send out the news that it has lost someone, especially when it is unknown who has robbed the emperor.
So before Maximilian I arrived in East Africa, except for Ernst's people, no other country knew that someone had robbed Maximilian I in front of the Mexican government.
"Ernst really thank you this time, why didn't I think of using mercenaries to rescue Ferdinand (Maximilian I)." Franz said with self-blame.
Franz could only think of mercenaries. In fact, it was impossible for Ernst to use mercenaries for such an important task.
The mercenaries only use money to do things, and they may be shaken 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 assassinating Qin Wuyang who are frightened .
Thus, the people involved in this operation must be loyal and unwavering because of the difficulty of the operation. Ernst did not keep dead soldiers in captivity, so he could only use students from the Hechingen Military Academy.
For these students of the Hechingen Military Academy, Ernst means that their parents are still alive. Coupled with the education of loyalty and patriotism in the academy, they have a fanatical admiration for Ernst and the Hechingen royal family.
Now that there is loyalty, everything else is easy. As early as after the marriage, Ernst arranged for a group of outstanding students to join the special operations team.
They have been trained for several months, and the other side is constantly collecting information on Mexico, and constantly changing the action plan.
Only when Maximilian I was about to be executed, the students of Hechingen Military Academy rescued the scene in time.
"Your Majesty, in fact, no one would have thought that Juarez and His Majesty Maximilian I are relatively rigid. One would execute a monarch regardless of international public opinion, and one would rather die for his country than live with Mexico, a terminally ill country." It's true.
If Ernst thinks differently, if he is Juarez, he will definitely not disgust the royal families of European countries. The United States next to him is the real confidant. You still ignore the intervention of European countries, and you have to disgust the monarchs of various countries. Wait for the future The Americans are coming, and Mexico is really powerless.
Don't look at the US President's hypocritical hope that Juarez will let Maximilian I go. It is estimated that the Americans will be happy when they hear that Juarez is going to execute Maximilian I.
Americans have always coveted and guarded against 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 the military situation.
When they heard that Juarez was still fighting guerrillas, the U.S. government was elated and immediately shipped weapons and ammunition to Mexico to support him in overthrowing the monarchy.
But thinking about it in the position of Maximilian I, Mexico was originally a muddy quagmire, and he couldn't even help him.
For a start like Mexico, there must be ruthless people who dare to make drastic reforms to Mexico. Originally, Mexico is relatively weak against the United States.
If you can't squeeze yourself into a fist, you can only be eaten away by the Americans step by step.
But Maximilian I was a liberal, so why did you go to Mexico to be emperor? I really can't figure out its brain circuit.
This reminded Ernst of Franz's son, Crown Prince Rudolf, who was also a liberal and even hated the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Later, he publicly and others declared that he wanted to be the president of Austria and Hungary.
? ? ?
It's really not a family, don't enter a family. Poor Rudolph finally died in love with his mistress in extreme depression. He did not harm his country like his uncle.
There is definitely a big problem with the education of the royal family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Wonder how Princess Karina is! You must know that the education of the former two is under the supervision of Queen Mother Sophie, and Princess Karina was brought up by Queen Mother Sophie herself.
Ernst looked at the little one in Queen Sophie's arms, Karina, who was only eleven years old. The little guy only knew that his father was saved by the person in front of him, and his grandmother was in a better mood. The eyes looked around curiously.
It still looks very smart, at least there is light in the eyes, not the kind of lifeless look. Most patients with depression are depressed and depressed, and there is a feeling of hatred and bitterness when looking at their faces.
Obviously, Karina has no worries. It may be because she is also a woman. The Queen Mother Sophie does not involve politics in her education, and does not emphasize any responsibility, so Karina's growth environment is still very relaxed.
