Holy Roman Empire

Through a series of personnel changes, Franz has actually controlled the Royal Guard. Grand Duke Louis does not know whether he really does not understand, or is confused, and there is no response anyway.

Franz felt that he was more likely to be confused. The Royal Guards were few in number and had only one regiment, but they had the role of defending the royal family.

The actual control of this force has always been in the hands of the Vienna court. Duke Louis, the nominal commander, did not dare to make big moves in it.

Franz's training of the Royal Guard actually obtained the acquiescence of the Vienna court. Before the operation, he also received the warrant of Uncle Ferdinand I.

The Habsburg family is already preparing for his regency. If there is no accident, he will become a member of the Regency Committee after three years. After a few years of training, the Regency Committee will be dissolved and enter the era of the Crown Prince Regency. .

Ferdinand I was reluctant to fall into power. Unfortunately, he suffers from epilepsy. On average, he suffers more than 20 times a day. He simply cannot handle government affairs. Supporting Franz Regency is one of his measures.

Well, Franz admits that he relied on fooling. The uncle's consciousness is often not online, and some ridiculous things often happen, but he pays special attention to the foundation of the Habsburg family, and occasionally produces delusions of victimization.

This created an opportunity for Franz. Ferdinand I often made amazing remarks. Anything he found useful turned into a written document.

In other words, there are many decrees in Franz ’s hands now, and whether there is any legal effect depends on the actual situation.

If it is taken out now, the Regency Committee will probably reject it, but when necessary, he can also issue these orders directly without going through the Regency Committee, and it becomes an established fact.

Although the Austrian government was actually controlled by the Regency Committee, no one on the bright side announced that Ferdinand I had lost his ability to govern, and the emperor ’s order was still valid.

The news of the January Revolution quickly spread across the continent, and the news reached Vienna. People were just surprised, and nothing happened.

But when the news reached Paris, something changed.

From 1840 to 1848, the leader of the Conservative Party, Gizo, was elected prime minister, allowing capitalists to enter the government department, and abused his power to randomly approve commercial contracts to please financial groups.

Corruption and bribery in the government have become the norm, various scandals have emerged, and people have gradually lost confidence in the government.

By now, the supporters of the July dynasty had only bankers, exchange brokers, railway kings, mine owners, forest owners, and land owners.

Since the economic crisis spread to France in 1847, hunger riots have occurred throughout the country, and the Labor Protection Law issued by Austria has ignited the workers' strike movement.

Against this background, the news of the January Revolution was passed, and the Parisian people who were already full of revolutionary spirit were naturally affected. The foundation of the revolution is already in place, and now only one Mars is left.

However, the decaying July dynasty ignored all this. The banquet movement launched by the bourgeoisie was stopped by the government. The event originally scheduled for January 19, 1848 was postponed to February 22.

Looking at the information in his hand, Franz breathed a sigh of relief. History has not changed because of his butterfly effect, and the advantages of the prophet can be used.

However, he and the military generals moved more frequently, including the governor on the side of the town, and Franz also maintained correspondence with them.

Inadvertently, Franz also expressed concern about the domestic situation, incidentally mentioning the January Revolution in Sicily, and boldly made predictions that the European continent will cause a chain reaction.

Whether they can attract their attention, Franz can only obey the destiny and do his best.He can't always say directly that there will be a revolution in Austria too?

If this is spoken, it will not be shocked to be a man of heaven, but will be regarded as a lunatic.

Considering the current situation of the Habsburg family, Franz feels that the latter situation is even greater.

Now Franz has given full play to the nature of a military enthusiast, inspecting the training of the army around Vienna, and the more he sees, the more disappointed he is.

"Albrecht, do you have any way to increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the short term, I am talking about the City Defense Force!" Franz asked cautiously

"Franz, this is very simple, as long as you can let the noble officers in the middle of the world get rid of, and promote a capable person to serve as an officer, the combat effectiveness of the city defense army can be improved immediately!" Albrecht Friedrich Shi Rudolph thought about it

Franz said helplessly: "Albrecht, this joke is not funny at all, if I can let them get out, I don't have to talk to you here!

I mean, is it possible to call them up for training and play a role at a critical time?"

That's right, Franz does have high hopes for the city defense army. These nobles usually seem to be tumors that affect the combat effectiveness of the army, but it is different in extraordinary times.

Not to mention, at least in terms of loyalty, they are still reassuring.Once the Vienna Revolution broke out, using them to suppress the rebellion was more reliable than using civilian officers.

The only pity is that their abilities don't seem to be reassuring. Even if it is to suppress a group of people, Franz is skeptical.

"Come on, I will give you the position of the commander of this city defense army, anyway, I use them to do nothing!" Albrecht said indifferently

Franz thought about it and said, "I'll come as soon as I come, anyway, it's a bunch of waste, even if you can't train, the situation will not be worse. However, you still keep the commander of the city defense army, the back Do I still need your support? "

"Franz, what are you going to do? There are a lot of noble officers in the city defense army, and they are very involved. You can't mess up!" Albrecht said with some worry.

"Albrecht, do you think I'm a messy man?" Franz asked back.

Albrecht shook his head, and Franz left a good impression on everyone.

Franz continued: "I should also enter the army and serve. I will apply for it back. In the next three months, I will stay in the city defense army and serve.

You can throw over the gang of officers who have lived together and join me in military training. Of course, those who are over 28 years old, and those who are in the military, will be fine."

He finally remembered that he was 13 years old and was already an Austrian army colonel.If this group of people were not removed, the nobles would probably join him in a "children's group", but there were mythical "junior officers" in the Austrian army who were not weaned.
