Holy Roman Empire

Leaving from Duke Karl's house, Franz showed a satisfied smile on his face. Obviously the two were just having a good time, and he became a new student.

Grand Duke Karl intended to continue to deepen the reform of the Austrian army, but unfortunately he lacked a strong supporter in the central government, and the appearance of Franz just solved this problem.

As the future successor of this empire, Franz recognized his military philosophy, and it is logical to support him in carrying out reforms.

The current Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I was mentally ill and could not deal with government affairs at all. As the Crown Prince Franz, he could be regent once he became an adult.

This time will not be too big, too many people are dissatisfied with Prime Minister Menier, including Grand Duke Carl, want him to get out.

At this time, Franz appeared just right, and there was nothing better than supporting the Crown Prince's regency. Franz with military support can take power in advance as long as it is not too stupid.

In the conversation, Franz mixed with some private goods, such as the Prussian staff system, the new era of military training, tactical command and so on.

Many refreshing proposals have made Grand Duke Karl very interested. How many of them will be added to the new military concept is still unknown.

In the end, Franz proposed that Grand Duke Karl should formulate a military reform plan for the Austrian army.

Franz would not admit that the military uniform on him added points to himself, otherwise the conversation would not be so smooth.

Is Grand Duke Carl really shocked by his proposal, and then he collapses under the dominance of his king and tries his best to support him?

Stop dreaming, this is impossible!

The reason why the two sides talked about Shenghuan is mainly because everyone has similar ideas. Franz is also the heir of the empire. From a young age to a big one, he is a soldier.

Grand Duke Karl deliberately guided his military knowledge, and Franz also cooperated very well, causing him an illusion. Franz is in front of him one of his admirers.

In order for his ideas to be better implemented, Duke Carl did n’t mind accepting another future emperor as a student, and the two parties were an alliance in political interests.

Perhaps the young Grand Duke Karl failed in politics, and now he is already an old fox at this time, and he has already guessed that most of Franz ’s intentions.

In the eyes of Archduke Karl, Franz was nothing more than his influence in the military. As a price, Franz must support his military reform in the future.

Franz's practice of carrying private goods inside, in his view, is that the child wants to attract his attention for the sake of face. These military concepts do not yet know which gunman made it.

If you can use it, you ca n’t use it. Anyway, it ’s just a piece of cake and wo n’t affect the political cooperation between the two.

The European Succession Act is very complete, and it is not a big deal for an heir like Franz to join forces with a military strongman like him politically.

Even Franz and the current Prime Minister Metternich have a very good relationship. In history, both sides have been mentors and friends. Isn't it the same? No one thinks there is a problem?

Franz was originally the second-heir, and he still became the crown prince.That was because his father, Franz Karl, was in front of him. He also had problems with his brain. After experiencing the lessons of his uncle Ferdinand I, no one dared to get another mentally impaired emperor out.

The Austrian empire is also face-saving. His father has repeatedly stated in public that he has given up the right of succession to the throne. It is not his original intention to know whether he has said it anyway.

Now Franz is forming a group in a bright and honest gang, not right. This is just a learning need. How can he not learn military as an heir to Austria?

In the following days, Franz went to Grand Duke Carl's life after a very poor schedule, learning military affairs in his name.

Austria in the 19th century was still a world of nobility, where Franz met many important members of the army, such as Josip Yelachic, Wendisch Gretz, and Radski.

(Remarks: The three Grand Orders who saved the Austrian Empire, Radsky suppressed the Italian Revolution; Wendisch Gretz suppressed the Prague uprising; Yosip Yelacic suppressed the Hungarian Revolution)

If you want to earn these people, Franz can't do it. At least everyone has a familiar face, and it will probably work at some point in the future.

All of this is something that everyone likes to hear, and become friends with the future emperor, no one can refuse.

This is also Franz ’s established strategy, and he is actively moving closer to the army. Only with the support of the army will he be able to settle the rebellion in the shortest time in the future.

"Franz, there is a military meeting tomorrow. Are you interested in attending?" Albrecht Friedrich Rudolph asked.

(Remarks: The eldest son of Grand Duke Karl, the last famous general of the Austrian Empire, has won the title of Field Marshal of Austria, Germany and Russia)

"Albrecht, forget it, your meeting is too boring, I don't want to listen to a bunch of lords!" Franz said indifferently

He was still very interested in attending such a military meeting at first, and he was disappointed after several visits.

There are a large number of nobles in the Austrian army. These people have talents, but more of them are mixed up.

If he lives in the army, he can become a general in less than a decade, and he can even report to the army.

In addition to the gold content of the marshal, the Austrian empire was already full of generals. With so many mixed days, the so-called military conferences are not so formal.

The real problem will never be discussed at such meetings. If it is not for the existence of conventions, such meetings will not be held at all.

"Well, since you are not interested, then I will go first!" Albrecht said indifferently

Franz smiled slightly. He didn't dare to underestimate Albrecht. Historically, he was the protagonist of the March Revolution, and he directly abdicated Ferdinand I.

How could it be possible without insider trading?You know that as the person directly responsible for the March Revolution, he was exiled from Vienna and returned to the center of power again shortly after.

Franz doesn't mind continuing this transaction. After all, he is the ultimate beneficiary. If his uncle did not abdicate early, he doesn't know when he will succeed.

The family of the Austrian Empire is still very solid. If it is not for the Vienna government to have problems, it will not fall quickly.

At this time, the Austrian Empire, together with Britain, France, Russia, and West, was also called the top five powers in Europe. The Prussians had not erupted but were only quasi-powers.
