Chapter 1117 The Thirteen Allied Forces enter Mexico City!

On May 1882, 5, Dutch Foreign Minister Mari Philip arrived in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, to discuss with Mexican President Manuel Gonzalez the stationing of Dutch naval ships on the west coast of Mexico.The two held a press conference afterwards, and Mari Philip expressed the Netherlands' firm support for Mexico.

The Mexican Defense Minister stated that it is necessary to use weapons with strong support from allies to break through Mexico's face of the powerful invader, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in order to break the deadlock.

On May 5, Mexican Defense Minister Porfirio wrote an article in Pacific Military Daily stating that the war between Mexico and Austria-Hungary is entering a stage of intense and attrition fighting, and the Mexican army needs new military capabilities and the help of powerful allies for training. way of fighting to get rid of the current war situation where Austria-Hungary is approaching step by step.

Mexican Navy Commander Schuck also said in this newspaper with a Dutch military background that the shipyards on the Atlantic side of Mexico are currently difficult to operate due to the harassment of the Austro-Hungarian navy, so he hopes that the Mexican Allied Navy will come to Mexico. The Gulf helps keep Mexico's coastal lifeline safe.

However, Shook acknowledged that Mexico City has not achieved any significant success in reworking the war that has lasted almost a year.

Shortly after Mexican Defense Minister Schuck and Mexican President Manuel Gonzalez made the above remarks, Mexico launched a counterattack against Tuxtepec, which was occupied by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, resulting in 1000 Austro-Hungarians here. The soldiers were severely damaged, with more than 800 losses, and of course, the Mexican raid also suffered more than [-] losses.

Manuel Gonzalez denied that Mexico did not have the ability to fight back against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He also did not believe that the war between Mexico and Austria-Hungary had reached a stalemate, and denied that it was under pressure from the Netherlands, the United States and other countries to enter into peace negotiations with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. .

"Like the War of Independence from Spain, we have reached a level of technology where we are at a stalemate," he said.

He pointed out that Austria-Hungary had superiority at sea, making it more difficult for Mexico to counterattack and protect its coastal areas.

"Basically naval ships are still essential, but Mexico needs critical naval warship military capabilities and technology to break through the war, and most importantly the power of sea warships."

He said that Mexico must improve its maritime power to destroy the Austro-Hungarian Empire and strengthen its ability to protect our coastal positions. Because the Austro-Hungarian Empire has British and German military assistance behind it, Mexico’s own navy alone has proven insufficient to deal with Austria-Hungary. The empire has three major powers cooperating with the shadow military forces.

Manuel Gonzalez's remarks were obviously refuting the idea that Mexico was unable to fight back the Austro-Hungarian invasion. They also made it clear that they would work hard to build the strength to fight back the Austro-Hungarian invasion and analyze Mexico's future counterattack. This can only be done with the strong support of our country.

However, it pointed out that the current counterattack has made no progress, and the warning of Mexican Defense Minister Schuck is that the stalemate in the war is due to the support from Britain and Germany for Austria-Hungary, and the lack of support from its own allies.

Still, Manuel said Mexico had no choice but to fight with its own machinery and expressed hope that its allies in the Thirteen-Nation Alliance would provide more support, especially in terms of maritime power and army equipment.

Just as Manuel Gonzalez and Schuck expressed their opinions, the visit of Dutch Foreign Minister Mari Philippe immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The President of Mexico and the Minister of Defense personally went to the battle to cry out for poverty. This is a gesture of asking the Netherlands for arms and financial support. Will the Netherlands respond to Mexico's concerns?
Also, to what extent does the Netherlands support Mexico?
These are not only the concerns of the British Empire, the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but also the telegrams from other countries have opened up, preparing to collect information and use it within their own countries as soon as possible.

The allies of the Netherlands also opened their eyes wide, wanting to see the strength of the Netherlands to judge how vigorously the Netherlands treats its allies and protects its allies.

In order to determine the benefits and rewards of alliance with the Netherlands.Especially those Dutch allies in Latin America.

Their status is similar to the relationship between Mexico and the Netherlands, so the Netherlands' attitude towards Mexico is a reflection of their future.

Perhaps because they were concerned about the departure of Dutch Foreign Minister Mari Philippe to Mexico City, the Austro-Hungarian Empire actually chose to armistice, apparently waiting to see the attitude of the Netherlands before making a decision.

This makes people even more excited about the upcoming meeting in Mexico.

On May 1882, 5, Mexican President Manuel Gonzalez held a joint press conference after meeting with Dutch Foreign Minister Mari Philip. Mari Philip directly said at the press conference, “As time continues to pass, people will Tiring, but this is not a stalemate, and the Netherlands does not think this is a manifestation of Mexico's current capabilities. We support ending the war, but the premise is that Austria-Hungary should withdraw from Mexican territory, including the people and troops on the Yucata Peninsula."

Manuel Gonzalez agreed with this statement, "Felipe's words speak to the hearts of all Mexicans. We will not give up any inch of Mexico's territory, not even a centimeter."

The reporters present were dumbfounded by Mari Philip's statement. Was he going to strongly support the war between Mexico and Austria-Hungary?
Dutch Foreign Minister Mari Philippe wants to increase his support for Mexico. Apparently, the calls of the Mexican President and Defense Minister have been met by the Netherlands.

Mari Philip nodded and said: "We are not opposed to Mexico's proposal to increase military support. Therefore, the Netherlands has agreed with other countries in the Thirteen-Nation Alliance of Latin America that we will jointly send 2 troops to the south of Mexico City to defend Mexico City. Keeping the nation’s capital safe”

Mari Philip's words shocked the reporters present.

Manuel Gonzalez next to him had a smile on his face.This was agreed upon by the two of them, but it was originally not made public, but now Mali and Philip have made it public. Apparently, the Dutch Foreign Minister's statement made him more satisfied.

This was a huge signal and a huge intimidation to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

When this news reaches Vienna, London, and Berlin, these three countries will need to be cautious in facing the changes in the war of invading Mexico.

Originally, Mexico was not as powerful as Austria-Hungary, and long-term attrition was beneficial to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Now that Mexico has the military and military support of its allies, it can rebuild the war situation passively and proactively, which will eventually threaten the Austro-Hungarian invaders themselves.

As Mari Philip made his statement, the reporters from Britain, Germany and Austria present were all confused.
