Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 28 Preparation

According to Franz, Louis-Philippe ’s biggest failure after the outbreak of the Paris Revolution was that he did not control the army in the first place.

At this time, most of the French army only sympathized with the Revolutionary Party, and it was not that they had joined the Revolutionary Party.They are not against the emperor, they can be bought.

As long as there are soldiers on hand, everything is good. Whether it is to suppress the revolution or to sit down and talk slowly, there is plenty of room for maneuver.

Isn't the Kizo government already stinky?Then let them smell a little bit more, throw all the black pots to them, but they are already so bad in the eyes of the people.

In short, all the bad things were done by them, and it had nothing to do with the emperor.

...

Snowflakes were falling down one after another, and the cold wind was still raging in Vienna.

The news of the Paris Revolution is no longer a secret at the upper level of Vienna, and it will probably spread throughout Austria within two days.

"Albrecht, let's do field training, let our people control the troops as soon as possible!" Franz said seriously.

"What's wrong, Franz? Why is it so urgent that if they train for another month or two, they will become qualified officers, and most people are still a little bit worse at this time!" Albrecht was puzzled. Ask

Since the news of the Paris Revolution, Franz has been urging him to speed up as if something bad is about to happen, which makes Albrecht very confused.

"The Paris Revolution broke out, and the Great Revolution is about to break out on the European continent again. In the case of Austria, the possibility of a revolution in Vienna is very great!" Franz said solemnly.

Albrecht's face was awkward, and it seemed that he could swallow an egg in his mouth.Is there a revolution in Vienna?Speaking of this question, it is estimated that many people will treat it as a joke.

Although the Austrian government is decaying, it has not reached the point of anger. The army is still loyal to the royal family. The domestic bourgeoisie is being ravaged by the nobles on the ground.

The working class, who was originally dissatisfied with the government, also turned the grudge towards the bourgeoisie with the introduction of the Labor Protection Law.

Under such a background, can revolution be expected?Or is it a democratic person in society?

Franz smiled and analyzed: "Don't be surprised, the working class does not oppose the government, and even the bourgeoisie does not have a strong desire to rebel. But reality can't help them!

Albrecht, you should be aware of the impact of this economic crisis on this country.

The number of unemployed people in Vienna exceeded 50,000, the capitalists suffered heavy losses, and many people hoarded a lot of goods.

With the outbreak of the European Revolution, Austria ’s economic situation is likely to deteriorate further. The workers want to eat, and the capitalists want to save themselves, but the Austrian government does nothing.

There was also a group of fools among the nobles, and they followed up with the capitalists to raise prices. In order to make up for the losses, they actually increased the oppression of serfs.

Austria has become a gunpowder barrel, and now only needs one Mars to be detonated!"

Albrecht nodded palely. These words can be said as the Crown Prince of the Empire, Franz, as the commander of the City Defense Army in Vienna, he can agree, but he can't say it directly.

As the largest aristocrat in Austria, Albrecht is undoubtedly very hostile to the revolution. Aside from other factors, he cannot tolerate anyone breaking the order if the 500,000 acres of property are alone.

(500,000 acres is about 3.04 million city acres, about 2,000 square kilometers.)

This is just a fief. There is also a lot of property in Albrecht in Vienna. Franz knows the summer palace Weilburg and the Winter Palace in Vienna (now Albertina Museum area).

With such a rich family, Albrecht naturally looks down on the capitalist, and this Austrian capitalist has not been so bold.

If he was n’t his own, Franz had even thought of robbery.There are more than one such tyrants in Austria, such as the Kehali family, a branch of the Gotha dynasty.

Of course, the richest family is still the royal family, and the accumulation of the Habsburg family for hundreds of years is still very rich.

In the Eastern world, the land of ten thousand mu is the landlord and the local tyrant. In the European continent, it is the largest land turtle. The home of any large nobleman starts from one million acres.

"Franz, did you remind Prime Minister Metternich of these questions?"

Albrecht regretted it just now, which is a very obvious problem.Metternich spent too long in the prime minister's position, but did not meet everyone's expectations.

People are forgetful. At this time, everyone has overlooked the merits of Metternich, especially after the outbreak of the Paris Revolution, the Vienna system was shattered.

Prime Minister Metternich ’s greatest diplomatic merits have been drained, and the opposition who wants him to get rid of it no longer has scruples.

Franz does not speak of Prime Minister Metternich ’s opposition, but as the Crown Prince ’s natural hostility to power ministers, this is determined by his identity.

"I am afraid that our Prime Minister has long known these issues, but it is hard to say if he has paid attention to them!

Albrecht, do n’t you think I can be his master now?"Franz asked jokingly

Albrecht smiled slightly, but Prime Minister Metternich was very strong. Even the other members of the Regency Committee were crushed to death. How could anyone be fooled by him?

"Well, I'll arrange it. But you have to do the training order yourself. The Regency Committee won't buy my account!" Albrecht said

He already knew what Franz was going to do. As soon as the Vienna Revolution broke out, Prime Minister Metternich had to get out.

At this time, the government will have emptiness of power, and the Regency Committee will also have a decline in prestige, and Franz ’s early regency will become natural.

As a political ally, Albrecht naturally hopes that this day will come sooner.

"Don't pay attention to them. At this time they are busy fighting, but they can't take care of this little thing. Moreover, I still have the order of His Majesty the Emperor!" Franz sneered.

That's right, Franz is holding a feather arrow.It was impossible for the Regency Committee to hold Ferdinand I accountable. After a field training, Franz was able to take it.

When the Vienna Revolution broke out, it was the uncle who had soldiers in his hands. Whoever controlled the city defense army of 14,000 people would have control of Vienna's right to speak.
