Chapter 71, Trickery and Deceit

After preparing to cut losses, the French government immediately organized an asset list and sent it to various European countries, looking for prospective clients.

The key targets were naturally England and Austria, other countries simply did not have the capacity to absorb the Mexican Empire. Prussia and Russia might have had the military might, but with empty pockets, they were not good buyers.

In Vienna, since the news of France's intention to sell its assets in Mexico had spread, the Austrian Government also conducted an in-depth analysis.

The result was naturally self-evident: decidedly subpar assets. Don't be fooled by the series of privileges that the French had obtained, virtually monopolizing Mexico's mineral resources; the problem was that these assets were difficult to liquidate.

To turn these real estates into real assets, one must first help the Mexican Government stabilize the situation. As long as the civil war does not cease, these mines are worthless.
