Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 1161: Chapter 175, The Chaotic America

Riding on the east wind of victory in the World War and with the support of the local power factions in Mexico, Earl Bru moved into Mexico City on October 16, 1905.

Without comparison, there is no harm; thanks to the continuous chaos in Mexico over the years, the patience of the people with the Republican Government had long been exhausted, and the restoration efforts proved to be smoother than anticipated.

Once the general trend gathered momentum, forming a torrent of the times, it could no longer be stopped by individuals.

The many years of efforts by Maximilian I were not in vain; he also had a group of supporters in Mexico, many of whom were students who studied abroad and were much more open-minded and progressive, both in vision and thought.

Having seen the prosperity of the European world, these people all had ideas about changing the current state of Mexico and could be considered natural-born reformists.

Unlike Maximilian I, who was brought up in luxury, Earl Bru had carried the title of an exiled crown prince from a young age and had early on undertaken the heavy responsibility of restoration.

With Franz’s intervention, Bru received an imperial education from an early age. His vision and personal abilities were far stronger than those of his father.

From a few years ago, as soon as Bru arrived in America, he had already made contact with these supporters. Through these connections, Bru had made arrangements in the Mexican Government and the army.

However, previously lacking full support from his family and fearing intervention by international powers, Bru had always been silently gathering strength.

With the victory of the World War, the situation changed drastically. The Holy Roman Empire became the new hegemon, and the Habsburg dynasty once again stood at the pinnacle of the world.

Under such circumstances, even if the neighbors wanted to intervene, they did not dare to act rashly. The international environment for restoration was already in place.

Moreover, during the World War, Bru took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents with the help of the Shinra’s power.
