The leisure time is always short, the Cuban crisis just levelled, Mexico had an accident. The responsibility of this American is not big, they smuggle the munitions to the rebel army. 闲暇的时光总是短暂的,古巴危机刚刚摆平,墨西哥又出事了。这次美国人的责任不大,他们只是向叛军走私军火。 This matter, even if they are not dry, should still have others to do. The outstanding arms merchants sold to the enemy the weapon. 这种事情,就算是他们不干,也会有别人干的。优秀的军火商都是把武器卖给敌人。 So long as rich, does not need to be worried unable to buy the weapon. If cannot buy, that is you is not very certainly rich. 只要有钱,就不用担心买不到武器。如果买不到,那一定是你还不够有钱。 The Mexican civil war has hit many years, earlier is the government forces presses the rebel army to hit, the present was the war of transition. 墨西哥内战已经打了很多年,前期都是政府军压着叛军打,现在算是转折之战了。 In the fall of 1868, the government forces and French armed forces conducted to the rebel army jointly encircle greatly, the war that originally must win, was actually overturned by the rebel army finally. 1868年秋,墨西哥政府军和法军联手对叛军进行大围剿,本来是必胜的战争,最后却被叛军翻了盘。 The blow-by-blow account, has not needed to go into seriously, summarizing is: The rebel army depending on binding the civilians was the hostage, Maximiliano first orders to forbid the army to open fire to kill the civilians, then on magnificent defeat. 详细经过,已经没有必要深究了,总结起来就是:叛军挟裹了平民做人质,马西米连诺一世下令禁止部队开枪射杀平民,然后就华丽的战败了。 The government forces fraught with uncertainty, along the latrine pit an ally, French armed forces has not thought that the flank will have the threat, the result loss is serious. 墨西哥政府军畏首畏尾,顺便坑了一把盟友,法军没有想到侧翼会发生威胁,结果损失惨重。 Approximately hung more than 1000 people, now Napoleon III sues for damages from the Mexican government, wants them to be responsible for this reason. 大约挂了一千多号人,现在拿破仑三世向墨西哥政府索赔,要他们为此负责。 Franz receives the younger brother Maximiliano support requirement letter now, how to be roughly unreasonable in the seeking vengeance French, and seeks help from him. 弗朗茨现在收到了弟弟马西米连诺的求援信,大致是在报怨法国人如何无理,并且向他求助。 Luckily this is the private letter, without sends out the Vienna government directly, otherwise loses face. It is estimated that Maximiliano also knows to be in the wrong, has not issued the official diplomatic document. 幸好这是私信,没有直接发往维也纳政府,不然就丢人丢大发了。估计马西米连诺也知道理亏,才没有发出正式外交文件。 The French have anything to respond, Franz was not worried. Napoleon III regrets that now, had wanted to return goods late is impossible. 法国人有什么反应,弗朗茨一点儿也不担心。拿破仑三世现在后悔已经晚了,想要退货都不可能。 Since must support in one naive delinquent, when Emperor, naturally must take the corresponding consequence. Generally speaking, their in Mexico investment, in addition is losing money. 既然要拥立一个中二少年皇帝,自然要承担相应的后果。总体来说,他们在墨西哥的投入尚且处于亏损状态。 The plundering wealth sounds very good, is the Mexican civil war is unceasing, the production received the heavy damage, the country trapped/sleepy people have been deficient. 掠夺财富听上去很不错,可是墨西哥内战不断,生产受到了严重破坏,早就国困民乏了。 Even if turned into the raw material habitat and commodity market Mexico, must first resume production is good. In the people pockets does not have money, naturally also has no purchasing power. 就算是把墨西哥变成了原材料产地和商品市场,也要先恢复生产才行。民众兜里没钱,自然也没什么购买力。 Now the French in the benefit that every year Mexico gains, but also insufficiently pays the military expenses expenses. Although this expenses, are undertaken by the Mexican government finally. 现在法国人在每年墨西哥获取的利益,还不够支付军费开销。尽管这笔开销,最后由墨西哥政府承担。 However, the Mexican government now is of poor, even the annuity Emperor Maximiliano first falls behind. The child who this compels painstakingly, ascends the throne so many years, has not received entire wages. 然而,墨西哥政府现在穷得叮当响,连皇帝马西米连诺一世的年金都拖欠。这苦逼的孩子,登基这么多年,都没有领全过一次工资。 Now the Mexican government main income is the international loan, majority loans from France. It looks like in Franz, is not considered as that too many, such ten hundreds of millions francs. 现在墨西哥政府最主要的收入就是国际贷款,其中大部分都是从法国贷款。在弗朗茨看来,也不算是太多,就那么十几亿法郎。 If Mexico can end the civil war, resumes production, then works hard, returning the debt is a little issue does not have. 如果墨西哥能够结束内战,恢复生产的话,然后努努力奋斗一下,还上债务是一点儿问题都没有的。 silver empire other are not many, is many of currency production. Has not fallen into the valley while the silver price, they have ability that pays off the debt. 白银帝国别的不多,就是货币生产的多。趁着白银价格还没有跌到谷底,他们还有还清债务的能力。 Rubbed the forehead reluctantly, Franz wrote a reply. Lending money does not exist, how can own money take away to fill in the bottomless pit? 揉了揉额头,弗朗茨无奈的写了一封回信。借钱是不存在的,自家的钱怎么能够拿去填无底洞呢? The French are now filthy rich, does not care point(s) the loss. Matter is Napoleon III does, makes them be thoroughly responsible for well. 法国人现在财大气粗,不在乎这么点儿损失。事情是拿破仑三世搞出来的,还是让他们负责到底的好。 Must suppress the rebellion to be easy, contracted this business to the French directly is good. Does not have money not to have the ore, the silver ore of Mexico undertakes this expenses sufficiently. 要镇压叛乱非常容易,直接把这一笔业务承包给法国人好了。没钱不是还有矿么,墨西哥的银矿足以承担这笔开销。 Key only then, levels France's commander in Mexico. Bribes, tricks, so long as made him sign on the line. 重点只有一个,摆平法国驻墨西哥司令官。无论是贿赂,还是忽悠,只要让他签字就行了。 Franz is thousand urges ten thousand injunctions, the flickering military commander is good, do not talk nonsense with French minister, carries out the diplomacy usually is not good to trick. 弗朗茨可是千叮嘱万嘱咐,忽悠武将就好,不要和法国公使扯淡,搞外交的通常都不好忽悠。 After the letter/believes delivers went out, Franz decides to help younger brother. Not but his operation ability, signed the treaty even, perhaps the French can not acknowledge mistakes. 信送了出去后,弗朗茨决定还是帮弟弟一把。不然以他的操作能力,就算是签订了条约,没准法国人都能不认账。 The internal problem of Mexico are many, particularly after Maximiliano first reforms, the later generation appraises this war for „the Reform War. 墨西哥的内部问题不少,尤其是马西米连诺一世改革后,后世都评价这次战争为“改革战争”。 Emperor is the reformist, the rebel army is also the reformist. But Emperor really reformist, but the rebel army is going against the reformist banner, for reformist that oneself seek the interests. 皇帝是改革派,叛军也是改革派。只不过皇帝是真的改革派,而叛军则是顶着改革派旗号,为自己谋取利益的改革派。 The ideal gave the reality finally, the rebel army won, Emperor becomes the spokesman of conservative faction. In fact, Maximiliano first if really ganging up conservative faction, will not lose the civil war. 理想最后给了现实,叛军获得了胜利,皇帝成为了保守派的代言人。实际上,马西米连诺一世真要是勾搭上保守派,也不会输掉内战。 The victory of rebel army, symbolizes the start of Mexican warlord politics. Has continued in the 21 st century, the situation in Mexico does not have peacefully. 叛军的胜利,标志着墨西哥军阀政治的开始。一直持续到21世纪,墨西哥的局势就没有太平过。 Terren, sends people to drum up support in France, making the French people know that their armies, Indian indigenous cannot even be victorious. “泰伦,派人在法国造势,让法国人民知道他们的军队,连印第安土著都打不过。 The news held to be good, afterward issue made the French People brain make up, did not want the ginseng/partake about too, so as to avoid made people think extremely desirably. ” 消息捅出去就行了,后来的问题让法国民众自行脑补,不要参合太多,免得让人觉得太过刻意。” The hype public opinion, Franz excels. The right and wrong black and white performs in the flash, particularly this age, the right to speak grasps in a small number of elite hands, operating the public opinion is easier. 炒作舆论,弗朗茨还是非常擅长的。是非黑白尽在一瞬间,尤其是这个年代,话语权掌握在少数精英手中,操纵舆论更加容易。 French armed forces lost to the rebel army in Mexico, this is the truth, that more than 1000 soldiers killeds, were the best evidence. 法军在墨西哥败给了叛军,这本来就是真相,那一千多号阵亡人员,就是最好的证据。 Matter after is not the key point, slightly crossed directly. The French People will not care why the army will be defeated, losing to Indian indigenous is not good. 事情经过不是重点,直接略过好了。法国民众不会关心军队为什么会失败,输给了印第安土著就是不行。 Although in the rebel army has lots of Caucasians, however the Mexican indigenous does not have many differences in the eye neutralization of French, at least the view of Paris People is this. 尽管叛军中有大量的白人,然而墨西哥人在法国人的眼中和土著也没多少区别,至少巴黎民众的看法是这样。 Lost naturally must recover the gathering place, if considered as finished, how making the supercilious French People accept? 输了自然要找回场子,要是就这么算了,让心高气傲的法国民众如何接受? Now may not have the foreign forces to interfere, the US after fission, the north and south have not pulled the strength of wrist/skill with the French, the Paris government has not been correct to pay attention to instigate. 现在可没有外国势力干涉,分裂后的美国,南北双方都没有和法国人扳手腕的实力,巴黎政府没有道理会怂。 The capital that now the Paris government invests, increased compared with the original space and time, does not suppress the rebel army, how to recoup the cost. 况且,现在巴黎政府投入的资本,比原时空也增加了很多,不把叛军镇压下去,怎么收回成本。 No matter acknowledged, Maximiliano first will be the benefit spokesman in Mexico, Emperor drops down their interest definitely to be greatly affected now. 不管承不承认,马西米连诺一世现在都是他们在墨西哥的利益代言人,皇帝倒下了他们的利益必然会大受影响。 The economic crisis had not ended, in Mexican this fat world are not many. If nothing else, light/only the mortgage gives their tariff and minerals, was worth the French making a move. 经济危机还没有结束,墨西哥这种肥肉世界上可不多。别的不说,光抵押给他们的关税、矿产,就值得法国人出手了。 Yes, your majesty.” Intelligence head Terren tranquil replied “是,陛下。”情报头子泰伦平静的回答道 Exposes a news, basic on does not have any difficulty. The newspaper of France may not have the newspaper that Austria benefits is so obedient, the lighthouse as free world, the freedom of speech is insistences of French people. 只是揭露一个消息,根本就没有任何难度。法国的报纸可没有地利的报纸那么听话,作为自由世界的灯塔,言论自由一直都是法国人民的坚持。 Press Censorship, can carry out in the Austria advantage, that was everyone has been used. 书报检制度,在地利可以执行下去,那是大家已经习惯了。 France was different, these bounded systems do not have, Napoleon III may not have the energy to make such a law, and carries out. 法国就不一样了,这些约束性制度早就没了,拿破仑三世可没有底气制定一部这样的法律,并且执行下去。 The opinion did not have the restraint, this type of news is not naturally able to achieve the security. The matter happening in Mexico, feeds in Paris to be published by the newspaper, this is very natural. 言论没有了约束,这种新闻自然就无法做到保密了。发生在墨西哥的事情,传回巴黎被报纸刊登出来,这是非常自然的。 The newspaper office of Paris, without the news can create the news, why has the news not to publish? 巴黎的报社,没有新闻都可以制造新闻,有新闻为什么不刊登? Transmits this type of real news, all along is the responsibility of journalist. The person of this rich sense of responsibility has in Paris, they will fulfill this glorious mission. 传递这种货真价实的新闻,一贯是新闻人的责任。这种富有责任感的人在巴黎有很多,他们会履行这一光荣使命。 ...... …… Early morning Paris, is in a day the best time. This is can breathe to the time of fresh air only, the factory starts again after a while, the thick black smoke raises, the feeling was not wonderful. 清晨的巴黎,是一天中最美好的时光。这是唯一能够呼吸到新鲜空气的时刻,再过一会儿工厂开动,浓浓的黑烟升起,感受就不怎么美妙了。 Naturally, compared with London, the weather of Paris every day is the fine weather. The happy feeling must depend on the contrast, after has London sets the base, the Paris People did not think that had what issue. 当然,比起伦敦来说,巴黎的天气每一天都是好天气。幸福感要靠对比,有伦敦垫底过后,巴黎民众也就不觉得有什么问题了。 In the winter of 1868, the weather of Paris was much better especially, probably this was the economic crisis takes to the only benefits of people. 1868年冬,巴黎的天气格外要好一些,大概这是经济危机带给人们的唯一福利。 Massive factory bankruptcies, the source of pollution cut off. The day became bluer, the air became fresher. 大量的工厂倒闭,污染源被掐断。天变得更蓝了,空气变得更清新了。 What a pity, these changes, cannot bring to Klein's attention. As one in unemployed, Klein the only goal is to look for a work now, other issue is not worth mentioning. 可惜,这些变化,没能引起帕克伦的注意。作为失业大军中的一员,帕克伦现在唯一的目标就是找一份工作,别的问题都不值得一提。 Now he must receive the unemployment pension, although money are not many, makes him eat the black bread sufficiently, does not need to be worried to have an empty stomach. 现在他要去领取失业救助金,钱虽然不多,却足以让他吃上黑面包,不用担心饿肚子。 Feels very advanced, had the unemployment pension in the 19 th century. This is one of the Napoleon III achievements, is not only the unemployment pension, even the retirement retirement pension appeared. 是不是觉得很先进,在19世纪就有失业救助金了。这是拿破仑三世的政绩之一,不光是失业救助金,连养老退休金都出现了。 So long as thinks that another title of Napoleon III is not strange- socialism Emperor. 只要想想拿破仑三世的另一称号就不奇怪了-“社会主义皇帝”。 Benefits from these good policies, even in the economic crisis, the prestige of Napoleon III has not reduced. 得益于这些好政策,即便是在经济危机中,拿破仑三世的声望都没有降低。 This period is also the French worker best years, after Napoleon III, entire they did not have this treatment in the 19 th century, rises after Soviet Union, they enjoyed this series of benefits again. 这一时期也是法国工人最好的时代,拿破仑三世过后,整个19世纪他们都没有这种待遇,一直到苏联崛起后,他们才再次享受到了这一系列福利。 Quick Klein was attracted the attention, goes forward to ask to an acquaintance quickly: What's the matter, Krows?” 很快帕克伦就被吸引了注意力,快步上前向一个熟人问道:“怎么回事,克罗斯?” Krows rattles on seeking vengeance of arguing endlessly saying: „ Does Klein, you know? Our armies in Mexico, by one group of indigenous bandits defeating, died it is said more than 1000 people, but also injured several thousand. 克罗斯喋喋不休的报怨道:“帕克伦,你知道么?我们的军队在墨西哥,被一帮土著土匪给击败了,据说死了一千多人,还伤了好几千。 God, tens of thousands French armed forces link one group of indigenous gangsters not to be victorious. On the day before they nursed, consumed the strength of whole body on the woman? 上帝啊,几万法军连一帮土著匪徒都打不过。难道前一天他们都去吃奶了,把全身的力气都消耗在女人身上了? This group of damn bastards, lost completely the face of France. If this news passed on, the position of our world's first land power has does not guarantee. 这帮该死的混蛋,把法兰西的脸都丢光了。这个消息要是传了出去,我们世界第一陆军强国的地位都有不保了。 Was passed simply bad...... ” 简直是糟糕透了……” The following content, Klein has turned a deaf ear. Single-handedly has seized the newspaper, looked earnestly. 后面的内容,帕克伦已经听不进去了。一手夺过了报纸,认真的看了起来。 The forgiven knowledge is insufficient, above many words he did not know, but the most important casualty figure and defeat, these words he knows. 原谅的知识不够,上面很多单词他都不认识,不过最重要的伤亡数字、战败,这些单词他还是认识的。 Then, the whole person sinks to seep in the news that French armed forces defeat, tens of thousands French armed forces cannot win one group of indigenous unexpectedly. Thought aloud: 然后,整个人都沉沁在法军战败的消息中,几万法军居然打不赢一帮土著。自言自语道: This is impossible!” “这不可能!” How are we possibly defeated?” “我们怎么可能失败呢?” ...... …… News, if not exaggerate, how can attract everyone's attention? 新闻嘛,如果不夸大其词,怎么能够吸引大家的注意力呢? Underwent the artistic processing of newspaper office editors, finally has turned into tens of thousands French armed forces to encounter the rout and casualties to be serious in Mexico. 经过了报社编辑们的艺术加工,最后已经变成几万法军在墨西哥遭遇大败、伤亡惨重。 In fact, French armed forces of combat are less than 10,000. If really tens of thousands French armed forces, the Mexican Rebel army were impossible to win. 实际上,参战的法军都不到一万。真要是有几万法军,墨西哥叛军也不可能打赢了。 The absolute power gap, by some slightly does not plan to change. The order of Maximiliano first is effective to the government forces, French armed forces will not care about the order of Mexican Emperor. 绝对的实力差距,不是靠一些小算计能够改变的。马西米连诺一世的命令只是对墨西哥政府军有效,法军可不会在乎墨西哥皇帝的命令。 Sees the unfavorable situation, the Paris government quickly comes out to spike a rumour. However is not useful, French armed forces defeat always the fact, reason this is not the French public concern. 见势头不对,巴黎政府急忙出来辟谣。不过没有什么用,法军战败总是事实,理由这不是法国民众关心的。 In brief, the French people got angry. Nothing accident/surprise, the Paris people started the most meaningful activity- parade. 总之,法国人民怒了。没有任何意外,巴黎人民又开始了最有意义的活动-游行。 Happy can parade, is angry can parade, void lonely can parade, disaffection time can parade, has no issue unable to parade in France. 高兴了可以游行,生气了可以游行,空虚寂寞了可以去游行,对政府不满的时候还是可以游行,在法国没有什么问题是不能游行的。 The present is the economic crisis period, many people idle are being all right to do, this made the scale of parade also big, from Paris started, however spread to the nation. 现在是经济危机时期,很多人都闲着没事干,这让游行的规模又大了很多,从巴黎开始然而向全国蔓延。 Matter gets bigger and bigger, French armed forces ate the news of defeat in Mexico, adds inflammatory details after the newspaper, rapidly spread over Europe. 事情越闹越大,法军在墨西哥吃了败仗的消息,经过报纸添油加醋,迅速传遍了欧洲。 At this time had been beyond control the Paris government to flinch, if did not retaliate quickly, the Mexican Rebel army must step on their shoulders to become famous. 这个时候已经由不得巴黎政府退缩了,如果不赶快报复回去,墨西哥叛军就要踩着他们的肩膀成名了。 Now French armed forces have not defeated the prestige that the Russia person establishes, loses to the Mexican Rebel army, everyone does not think is the unexpected situation, various countries will only add fuel to the flames saying that French armed forces battle efficiency is not good. 现在法军可没有击败俄国人建立起来的威名,输给墨西哥叛军,大家可不会认为是意外情况,各国只会推波助澜说法军战斗力不行。 This to the French government, without doubt is disastrous. Various countries did not acknowledge that their strengths, means that in the international interest competes, they will be in the inferior position. 这对法国政府来说,无疑是灾难性的。各国不承认他们的实力,意味着在国际利益争夺中,他们将会处于不利地位。 After Russian Empire declines, French hurriedly puts on the hat of the world 's first land power to oneself, don't they know the high position invites criticism? 俄罗斯帝国衰落后,法国人急匆匆的给自己带上世界第一陆军强国的帽子,难道他们不知道树大招风么? Obviously, Napoleon III so will not be superficial, merely is only an unwarranted reputation, has not been worth them without table manners. 显然,拿破仑三世不会这么肤浅,仅仅只是一个虚名,还不值得他们这么没有吃相。 Also has massive benefits in the unwarranted reputation back, this is the reason that the French is going ahead of one's turn anxiously seizes power, they want the position of European hegemon received the Russia person to leave behind. 在虚名的背后还有大量的利益,这才是法国人急着抢班夺权的原因,他们想要接过俄国人留下的欧陆霸主之位。 The cake is so big, various European countries divide the cake time, is the strength, the strength more seizes the share to be bigger. 蛋糕就这么大,欧洲各国划分蛋糕的时候,靠得就是实力,实力越强拿到份额越大。 The weak country looks in side was good, this and they have not related. If the luck is not good, will also turn into the cake on table. 弱国在旁边看着就行了,这和他们没有关系。要是运气不好,还会变成桌子上的蛋糕。 Including the struggle of present Spain throne, France can overrule so many candidates, is the powerful strength. 包括现在西班牙王位之争,法国可以否决那么多候选人,靠得就是自身强悍的实力。 If at this time, making the outside world think that their strength was not good, king who then perhaps Spain must have a counter- law. 要是这个时候,让外界认为他们实力不行,那么没准西班牙又要出一个反法的国王了。 King who at least British Austria both countries want to support a counter- law, once the strength of France does not blow the gathering place, this situation will happen. 至少英两国都想要扶持一个反法的国王,一旦法国的实力镇不住场子,这种情况就会发生。 Must prove own strength, the most convincing means are the war. Where tumbles, where must crawl. 要证明自身实力,最有说服力的办法就是战争。在哪里跌倒的,就要在哪里爬起来。 France the rear stability or not, must look at that in the future they then performed. Now the face of France is priceless, but also is only a city. 法兰西未来后方的稳定与否,就要看他们接下来的表演了。现在法兰西的面子可是价值连城,还只是一座城市。
