Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 24 Showdown

"What? Franz do you want to serve in the army? No, you have to stay at home and learn honestly!" Mrs. Sophie said angrily.

That expression is like saying, your kid actually wants to make excuses to skip class, it is simply lawless!

Franz explained: "Dear Mrs. Sophie, this is not a service. I just entered the army and experienced for three months."

"Is it necessary to experience three months? In another half a year, you will formally enter the army and serve. Will it be necessary to experience?" Mrs. Sophie asked.

Franz knew that it would be impossible to explain clearly. Without a proper reason, the mother would not agree.As for the attitude of the father, when will their family get his turn?

"Isn't this a revolution in Sicily? According to the analysis of the intelligence I collected, the European continent will enter a period of high revolution in the future.

In order to prevent accidents, I must cultivate my military qualities to avoid being caught by surprise!"Franz explained

"You said that there may be a revolution in Austria?" Madame Sophie said somberly

Franz nodded and said: "Yes! The domestic economic situation is very bad, the struggle between nobles and capitalists is very fierce. If the economy cannot improve in a short period of time, the conflicts may intensify!"

Looking at Franz's serious analysis, Mrs. Sophie's expression was a little solemn and a little nervous, what a terrible term revolution is.

"These words, you should say to the government, as long as they are prepared in advance, the capitalists' strength is not worth mentioning at all!" Mrs. Sophie thought and said

Looking at Mrs. Sophie's expression, Franz knew she was only half-confident, and immediately added:

"No, no one can say this question. Before things happen, it is best that we know it. Now that the struggle between the nobility and the bourgeoisie has become fierce, at this time we can join in and it is easy to catch fire!"

Politics is always dark. Franz is to be an emperor. You can encourage him behind his back. If he is shirtless, he will leave it to someone else to do it!

Looking at Franz, Mrs. Sophie's complexion changed, and she said in disbelief: "Are you planning to use this opportunity to seize power?"

Franz knew that Mrs. Sophie was tempted. No one was willing to put their destiny in the hands of others. The Regency Committee had held the Austrian regime for more than ten years.

Such a long time was enough to disturb the Vienna court. Even the occasionally normal Ferdinand I knew that this situation was very bad for the royal family, not to mention her?

He has lived in the court since childhood, and even the most dull people have higher political sensitivity than ordinary people.

Historically, why the Vienna court wanted to let Metternich get rid of, in addition to dissatisfaction with his political reforms, is more out of concerns about the minister.

Franz patiently analyzed: "It depends on the specific situation. Judging from the current situation, the current situation is very unfavorable to the government.

The bourgeoisie wanted Prime Minister Metternich to get out and change to a weak government; the nobles were also unhappy with him, and they were going to change to another person.

Under such circumstances, Prime Minister Metternich can withstand this wave of political crises. It is said that the energy of the high-level is involved in the political struggle. Who can care for the lives of the people at the bottom?

Know that once a person is hungry, everything can be done.There has been a riot of hungry people in France, and the situation in our Austria is similar. If the economy cannot improve, the riot is the lightest.

Not long ago, at the banquet held by the capitalists, a revolutionary party appeared, publicly announcing revolutionary ideas, but the police did not catch anyone.

We have enough reasons to believe that the Revolutionaries have been on the line with the capitalists, and the cooperation between the two parties has reached that point, I do n’t know!"

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Sophie digested what Franz said just now, looked around, and asked, "Does the Vienna government know? I mean the Regency Committee!"

"It should be known that there are so many people attending the banquet, I can receive the news, they have no reason not to receive it!" Franz said calmly

Mrs. Sophie looked at Franz carefully, as if she did not know him anymore, and now she was re-knowing him.

That's right, Franz's performance today is far beyond Mrs. Sophie's expectations.These words are not what a 17-year-old can say, but they are more like vicissitudes of vicissitudes analyzing problems.

After half a ring, the Sophie talent asked: "Franz, when did you come to this conclusion, and when did you start preparing?"

Waiting for Franz to answer, Mrs. Sophie said again: "These situations seem to be under your control all the time? From the beginning, the conflict between the nobles and the bourgeoisie was provoked. Is it? "

fear!That's right, in Mrs. Sophie's eyes, Franz saw fear.

Anyone who finds a teenager who has so many layouts in order to seize power, and will play a group of politicians on the palm, will feel terrified!

Franz explained seriously: "Dear Mrs. Sophie, this is the only way for an emperor. From the moment I was born, my life was destined to be extraordinary.

As for the layout you mentioned, I am just following the trend. From beginning to end, these things have nothing to do with me. No matter how the situation develops, I am an outsider!

The Austrian Empire is already ill. In this ancient empire, 99% of the people are striving for survival.

There are even millions of people who ca n’t even fill their stomachs. Such a country needs only one Mars and it will explode!

Faced with such a situation, what choice would you make in my position?"

Mrs. Sophie's pale-faced question asked: "But, you can't play with fire? Is it so urgent? It's not too late to wait for you to solve these problems!"

Franz looked at Mrs. Sophie's anxious face, shaking involuntarily, and soon he recovered, shaking his head and saying:

"I'm afraid there is no such time. Even if I don't intervene, the domestic political struggle will not end. After Prime Minister Metternich stepped down, Austria has no second person and is capable of being a walllayer!"

In a panic, Mrs. Sophie said something she didn't believe: "Then you can also support Prime Minister Metternich!"

After she finished, she immediately regretted that she wanted Prime Minister Metternich to get out, how could she ask Franz to support him?

Even in private, the relationship between the two of them is still very good, and the history book is also evaluated as a mentor and friend.

But political struggle will not be sentimental!
