Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 20 Conspiracy

The failure of the strike movement has shaken the prestige of the bourgeois leader Mr. Verris. Many people are skeptical about whether he can lead everyone to force the government to make concessions.

On the contrary, the bourgeois revolutionary party became active again, and some capitalists changed their positions and secretly engaged with the revolutionary party in an attempt to overthrow the Vienna government and establish a bourgeois regime.

Of course, if you think about it, let them raise the banner to rebel, that is absolutely impossible.Even if there is a revolution, it can only be done by others. They all have a wealth of wealth.

Everyone is wise, and the weakness of the Austrian Empire has not yet been exposed. At this time, the rebellion will easily become a martyr.

Most capitalists have little confidence in the Revolutionary Party. They also rely on non-violent means to fight and force the government to give in.

In the manor outside Vienna, a banquet is being held, and as the host Mr. Willis is giving a passionate speech.

That's right, this is the banquet movement that came from France, but when it came to Austria, it seemed a bit unacceptable. Except for the capitalists, only a few scholars who were limped by liberalism participated.

"Gentlemen, we must unite. The last time we failed, it was because everyone failed to advance and retreat, and they were broken down one by one by the enemy!

As long as we unite and fight, the enemy will be defeated by us, and victory will ultimately belong to us.

There is no need for revolution, no bloodshed, and it is not difficult to achieve this by defeating the enemy in the areas where we are best at using our best means!

as long as……"

Not everyone was satisfied with Verris' speech, at least the Revolutionaries who came to the banquet were very dissatisfied.

"Mr. Verres, your so-called bloodless struggle can really make the enemy give way? Wake up, the corrupt Vienna government will not hear the voice of the people, and true freedom can only be achieved by revolution ..."

Waiting for him to finish talking, Verris shouted angrily: "Whoever let him in, throw this bastard out to me, he wants to kill everyone!"

Nima, with such a big fan of revolution, do you really think that the secret police of the Vienna government eat shit?

Not only was Verris angry, but many capitalists who came to the banquet were also angry.Even if you want a revolution, you have to say it in private. We can give you secret support. If you say so much, what should you do?

Support the revolution?It is estimated that it will not be long before he is imprisoned. There are so many people coming to the banquet this time. Who knows if there are any traitors?

To oppose, you must oppose it. It involves your own security. The capitalists are very cautious and have denounced the revolutionary party as if they are all models of loyalty and patriotism.

Vienna is not Paris, everyone's revolutionary enthusiasm is not so high, and the Vienna government is not as unpopular as the July dynasty, not everyone wants to rebel.

Once disturbed by the revolutionaries, this speech naturally ended in haste, and then became a secret meeting.

The labor protection law is still very lethal. Even these servants who hold banquets are among the beneficiaries. Perhaps one of them will sell them when their minds are hot. Everyone is still careful.

"Mr. Verris, can we really make concessions to the government if we drive up prices? Know that the nobles are not small in energy. If they stop us, they will steal the chickens and lose the rice!" Ham questioned

The two are business competitors, because everyone is sitting together because of common interests, but there is no way to eliminate the contradiction between them.

Veris explained: "It is because of the nobility that we will win the final victory. Do n’t forget that our prime minister, the Lord, advocates the abolition of serfdom. The nobles do n’t want to get him down, are n’t they afraid that he will pass like this one? Is the legislation enforced? "

The moderate capitalist Field said in agreement: "Mr. Verris is right. Metternich, the old immortal bastard, has offended many people in recent years, and many people who want him to step down have gone.

Once this old fox is gone, the new prime minister does not have his prestige. If we do not compromise with us, don't want to stabilize the situation!"

Field and Verris have similar political ideas. They both oppose a violent revolution and advocate fighting for rights without bloodshed.

This is determined by their interests. As one of the best capitalists in Austria, they own a large number of industries.

Once a revolution occurs, it will face a new interest reshuffle, and if it fails, it will lose its blood.

Verris said again: "Mr. Ham, the nobles are not good goods. We drive up prices and we can let them join together. Everyone makes money together, and they will not stop us for their own benefit. .

No more, as long as one-fifth of the nobility is on our side, Metternich is powerless. This time our slogan is to let Metternich step down!

We can adjourn the labor protection law, implement constitutional government, and referendums, and wait for the next government."

Apparently it failed once, and Verris became more cautious.

The Labor Protection Law was used by conservative nobles to fight against the bourgeoisie, and apparently will not easily make concessions.

In constitutional government and popular elections, let alone say that as soon as this slogan is screamed, it will be hit by aristocratic groups.

On the contrary, it is only aimed at Prime Minister Metternich, and it is easier to achieve success. After all, many of the nobles are against him.

Ham thought for a while and said, "Then I will trust you again, but what do you think of the Revolutionary Party that appears today? Everyone knows people, don't have to hide and hold!"

Field sneered and said, "Does this need to be said? Of course it is to draw a line. The situation of the French Revolution, you don't know, who wants to go through it once?"

Ham sneered: "Mr. Field, this sounding statement, forget it!

I know that everyone has to contact them in private. I mean have you ever thought about increasing support for them?

It is not necessary for them to succeed, as long as they hold back part of the energy of the government?"

Veris said in a hurry: "Mr. Ham, this joke is still stopped. I have never known any revolutionary party!"

Unlike the brave and ambitious Ham, Verris is already old, and he has no desire to take risks anymore. He secretly provides the Revolutionary Party with funding for activities, which is already the limit he can do.
