The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 100
Lately, Mr. Rouvel has been distressed.

As the vice president of Mexico, he had to come to Vienna alone to ask for help from the mysterious Grand Duke Franz Karl.

This also starts with the Battle of Texas. General Jose Epra, as the general of southern Mexico, stabbed Tasan Ana in the back at a critical moment in the Mexican-American War and besieged Mexico City.

Ruvel habitually fled, abandoning the Mexican capital, and was rebuked by Tasan Ana after joining him in the north.

Because the French took the opportunity to refuse to pay the remaining payment for Texas, and claimed that it would only be handed over to the real ruler of Mexico.

The result was that the French bought the entire Texas for 3300 million francs, and Tasan Anna had no choice but to admit it. After all, the civil war was not over yet, so it would not be wise to offend the French again.

In fact, Tasan Ana's army is much stronger than Jose Epra's rebel army. At first, they took Mexico City all the way, but soon the battle situation changed, that is, the rebel army suddenly seemed to have opened their eyes. Can predict the enemy's opportunity.

All of Tasan Anna's plans seemed to be in the hands of the rebels, so Tasan Anna lost a large number of troops, but this was not enough to bridge the gap between the two.

At this moment, the Mexican navy suddenly rebelled, blocked the Mexican sea passage, and at the same time shipped a large amount of equipment to the rebels, turning the battle situation against Tasan Anna again.

After some investigation, all the contradictions pointed to the United States. It was the Americans who planned Epra's rebellion, and it was the Americans who instigated the Mexican Navy, and it was the Americans who took advantage of the Mexican Civil War to make a lot of money.

Americans are filling the wounds of the economic crisis with Mexican blood.

The Mexicans would certainly not sit back and watch their demise. While continuing to fight the rebels, they turned to Europe for help.

At the same time as the Epra uprising, Britain, France and the United States severed diplomatic relations with Mexico. Obviously, a strong Mexico is not in the interests of the three countries.

The only ones Tasan Anna could turn to for help were Spain and Austria. Although he drove the Spaniards away with the Mexicans, it was not impossible to bring the suzerain back.

The queen regent of Spain is licentious but not absurd. She can accept Mexico's return to Spain and is willing to ignore Tasan Anna's treasonous behavior, but she will not send a single soldier to Mexico.

Tasan Anna tore up the letter of the queen involved in politics, so he thought of the Grand Duke Franz Karl again.

In fact, the first thing Tasan Anna thought of was Archduke Franz Karl, but he had to give up due to the weak sea power of the Austrian Empire.

But now he can't control so much about the urgent medical treatment. Vice President Ruvel came to Vienna alone under his order, in order to save Mexico from the fire.

In fact, Ruvel didn't have much memory of the vice president's position. He was supposed to be a messenger who shuttled between the battlefields, but he became the vice president because the chief gave him a bowl of food.

To him, the smuggling of a narrow escape is just a return to his previous life.

It has been almost a month since Ruvel came to Vienna. He has met Prince Metternich and Count Korolov. Both of them in power have no interest in Mexico as an ally.

Ruvel proposed that the silver mine belonging to the rebel family could be used as collateral, which caught the attention of Count Kororav, but because he has been busy wrangling with Prince Metternich, he has not responded to Rouvel for a long time.

Of course, this is a gamble with one's own life and reputation as a gamble. If he is unsuccessful, he will either be hit by a carriage or shot to death by a guard, or he will be taken away by the gendarmerie and interrogated severely.

Ruvel was lucky, though, that he wasn't beaten half to death by the guards and thrown into the gendarmerie.

Ruvel stopped the carriage, and just as he was about to shout, a cavalryman put a noose around his neck.

As soon as the two guards stopped him, Franz Karl opened the car window.

"Call him here."

The two guards put Ruvel in front of Grand Duke Franz Karl.

"Your name is Ruvel?"

Ruvel's mouth was tied by the rope, and he could only nod with wide eyes.

"can you drink alcohol?"

Ruvel was a little puzzled, but nodded anyway.

"Great, my son said that someone from Ruvel will come to drink with me tonight. You really came." Franz Karl said to the guards, "Let him go."

Lord Sommerlet, the attendant of Archduke Franz Karl asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"

"determine."

"Okay." Lord Sommerlet summoned two guards and asked them to search Ruvel's body carefully, not even his hair, mouth and socks.

Ruvel entered the carriage and sat opposite Archduke Franz Karl. Lord Sommerlet also got into the carriage and sat down next to Archduke Franz Karl. Immediately after, another strong guard without a weapon sat in Ruvel. Will's side.

The strong guards and Lord Sommerlet stared at Ruvel with cold eyes, even reminding him of the negotiation with the Aztecas.

But Ruvel calmed down quickly, he took a deep breath and was about to speak.

"What are you drinking?" said Archduke Franz Karl.

Ruvel scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I"

"Tequila! A Mexican friend gave it to me last time. You'll love it. It's cold and spicy, but a little bit bitter."

After speaking, Grand Duke Franz Karl poured Rouvel a full glass.

"Grand Duke Franz Karl, I am here to ask you for help on behalf of President Tasan Anna. The Mexican Republic has suffered a shameless betrayal. We need Austria's help."

Grand Duke Franz Karl drank the contents of the cup in one gulp, and poured himself a second cup. Seeing that Ruvel hadn't finished drinking, he seemed a little unhappy.

Ruvel had no choice but to drink the wine in the glass. The alcohol content of this kind of wine is not low, and it is not usually drunk like this, but seeing that Archduke Franz Karl seemed to have no intention of stopping, Rouvel had no choice but to show imitate.

Archduke Franz Karl poured Rouvel another glass, and then drank his own in one gulp.

Three consecutive glasses of wine, one bottle of wine is already empty, three consecutive glasses of wine made Ruvel, a soldier, a little unbearable, and he has been under a lot of mental stress recently, and he hasn't eaten well, so he gets drunk very quickly.

Archduke Franz Karl took out a second bottle of wine and presented Rouvel with a whole ham.

Ruvel didn't know how much he drank that night. When he got up, he found himself lying in a clean bedroom. His luggage and belongings were neatly placed in the corner. The bottle is pressed.

"4 rifles, 50 6-pounders, 100 8-pounders, 70 600-pounders, [-] military uniforms, [-] pairs of military boots, [-] tons of flour."

Ruvel burst into tears after reading it, unscrewed the wine bottle and drank it vigorously.
