Chapter 79: Embassy Turmoil

```

The bloodless capture of Mexico City overthrew the reign of Maximilian I, and at last, President Juarez's Republican Government truly shook off the label of being rebels.

Before there was time to celebrate, Juarez received news that Maximilian I had taken refuge in the Austrian Embassy, which instantly ruined his good mood.

Undoubtedly, Maximilian I's presence in Mexico City was a ticking time bomb that could trigger a significant political earthquake at any moment.

To be precise, Maximilian I was already causing them trouble at the present, albeit unconsciously.

Maximilian I had not abdicated and was still recognized internationally as Mexico's legitimate ruler. In comparison, Juarez's Republican Government had not yet received recognition.

This uprising had been carried out under the banner of "punishing a tyrant," so now that the Emperor was in the Austrian Embassy, the question was whether to capture him or not.
