Holy Roman Empire

This problem is not limited to Austria. European countries including Prussia, France, Britain, and Russia are dominated by aristocratic officers.

This situation continued until after the World War, after the baptism of the World War, the noble officers suffered heavy losses, did not have enough backup power to supplement, and finally lost their leadership in the army.

In contrast, Austria is still lucky, and the German aristocracy is the dominant one. Because of the traditional relationship, most of them have good military literacy.

These aristocratic officers were rare and highly intellectuals in this era. If someone forced them to work hard with a whip behind, there would be no problem as a grassroots officer.

For the future of Austria, for the happiness of the European people, and for the development of all mankind, Franz felt a destiny, and it should not be God's will.

Anyway, he has decided to take over the next generation of the Austrian nobility, and he is just beginning.

...

The wheels of history are rolling in. After the outbreak of the January Revolution in Sicily, it quickly spread to northern Italy. In order to protect the safety of Lombardy and Venice, the Vienna government also sent reinforcements to the local area, and the situation was temporarily stabilized.

Before the outbreak of the Great Revolution, the European working class was in dire straits, taking France as an example:

The wage level of workers is very low. The daily wage of male workers is about 2 francs, and the female worker is about 1 franc.

The cheapest dark bread at that time also surpassed 30 centimes per kilogram, and the income of the working class could barely make a living.

(Data from 1840)

On the surface, it seems that the treatment of male workers is fair, and the treatment of female workers and child workers is very low.

In fact, capitalists are not fools. They will maximize their profits. These money are all used for life. Male workers need to undertake more heavy manual labor.

Almost they work up to fifteen or six hours a day. After much work, they naturally consume quickly, and of course they need to replenish energy.

This can be seen from the life expectancy. The heavy labor force makes the average life expectancy of workers less than 40 years old, and even many heavy labor industries are below 35 years old.

In 1846, due to the heat and drought, the wheat and beans failed, and the staple food in France was seriously threatened, causing the food price to rise sharply.

In 1845, the price of 100 liters of wheat was 17.15 francs, and by 1847 it had risen to 43 francs, and soared to 49.5 francs in the Upper Rhine Province. In some areas, it exceeded 50 francs.

Especially in northern and northeastern France, cereal prices have generally risen by 100% to 150%, and the price of bread has doubled.

Everything goes up, that is, if wages do not rise, the working class will naturally have a hard time.

The house leak coincided with the continuous rain, and the British economic crisis of 1847 spread to France again.

The increase in the price of grain has nothing to do with the farmers' dime. They just because of the decline in grain output, the income has dropped sharply, and the internal purchasing power of France has declined.

Against this background, cheap industrial products from the United Kingdom rushed in, and the French industry and commerce were immediately hit.

In 1847, the industrial output value of Paris was 1.463 billion francs, which fell to 6.77 francs in early 1848.

After the waist cut, he made a 10% discount. Just looking at this figure, we can see that French industry and commerce have been wailing. In just one year, thousands of companies in France have closed down.

Behind the crazy collapse of enterprises, the birth of an army of unemployed forces is indispensable, and the social contradictions in France are becoming increasingly acute.

Against this background, not only did the July dynasty come up with no effective measures, but instead corruption became the norm, and scandals continued to emerge.

After the Labor Protection Law formulated by the Austrian government spread to Paris, it quickly caused a sensation within the working class.

The later-conscious Paris government wanted to block the news too late. Of course, they did not have such enforcement power.

The large-scale workers' strike movement broke out in Paris, quickly spread to France, and spread to other parts of Europe.

At the same time as the workers' strike, the peasant class also broke out an anti-hunger movement. Since July 1847, farmers who went bankrupt due to food shortages and debt crises have set off a grain rush.

They smashed the landlord's manor, seized the grain store, and killed grain speculators.This movement also spread to the city, and hungry unemployed workers who joined into it also joined in, known as "bread commotion."

The continuous collapse of social order has also caused dissatisfaction with the government by the bourgeoisie.

Originally in the economic crisis, everyone suffered heavy losses, just prepared to make a fortune in food, to make up for the hurt of the soul.

It turned out that the French peasants were too fierce, and the fighting power of the working class was also quite powerful. If they couldn't afford it, they would rob it directly. Does this allow the capitalists to live?

At this time, the French bourgeoisie also split. Apart from some vested interests, most of them were opponents of the July dynasty.

Including dynasty opposition and republicans, of which republicans are divided into: national newspaper and reformists.Although the political opinions of each faction are different, they have stood together temporarily against the July dynasty.

The Kizo government is incompetent. The opposition has organized 70 banquets, large and small, across the country. Many places have publicly screamed revolutionary slogans, but they have not been suppressed.

The government's incompetence allowed the Revolutionaries to see their reality and began to prepare for an armed uprising.

Demonstrations and demonstrations are commonplace for the people of Paris.On February 22, 1848, because of dissatisfaction with the government's ban on banquets, Parisians took to the streets to protest.

Franz did not know exactly what happened.In short, there seems to have been a slight change in history, and the people of Paris revolted that night, and the February Revolution broke out.

After the uprising broke out, the revolutionary opposition expanded sharply, and students, workers, citizens, and capitalists all participated. Of course, the capitalists rarely took up arms, and they all supported behind the scenes.

The Kizo government, awakened by the revolution, hastened the deployment of the army to suppress the revolution. Unfortunately, they underestimated the military and civilian waters of France.

Even if there is no shortage of supporters of the revolution in the army, most of the National Self-Defense Forces refused to carry out the revolution of the government, and a part of the army directly defected.

Franz can only rely on his brain to make up for the latter things. More detailed information is not so easy to obtain.

In short, on the afternoon of February 23, 1848, in order to ease the situation, King Louis-Philippe of France dismissed the Kizo government and appointed the liberal Morai to form a cabinet, in an attempt to calm the bourgeois anger.
