Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 29 The Undercurrent of Vienna

From winter to spring, the melting snow makes the road muddy.An army is marching hard. That's right, this is exactly what the Vienna City Defense Army is doing in the field.

The old soldiers couldn't take the pain, so Albrecht very understandingly approved them to stay, and the command of this unit changed unknowingly.

"Stop moving forward and set up camp!"

Albrecht's order sounded, as the Vienna City Defense Army, they could not run far, and the field training was so 180 kilometers.

"Franz, we can't go any further. Otherwise, there is an accident in Vienna and we can't respond in time!"

Franz nodded and let the revolution break out in Vienna, but it did not mean that the revolution was allowed to succeed!

The main force of the City Defense Army has been brought out. There are more than 5,000 people on the surface of the remaining troops, but the actual combat effectiveness is poor.

If someone wants to rebel, it is impossible to miss this opportunity, after all, this opportunity is rare.

"Well, the news should have been sent back at this time. What about the troops?"

Albrecht shook his head and said: "Not very good! We pulled them out for training at this time, it is estimated that all of them were scolding their mothers."

This is inevitable, and whoever encounters this kind of thing will have the same result.Franz thought of a solution that was not the solution: "Then leave them on a day off and go hunting to improve the food."

This is a bad idea. If this unit is not nine thousand, but nine hundred, it may be possible to really improve the food by prey.

Now, even if there are too many prey in the mountains, there are not enough people to divide.But letting everyone relax is good, and Albrecht has no objection.

Time passed in a hurry. The Labor Protection Act, which the Vienna government originally planned to implement on March 1, 1848, was shelved indefinitely. What's worse is that the government did not give a clear explanation.

The inaction of the Vienna government disappointed the working class, which allowed the bourgeoisie to see opportunities.

The cost of making rumors is the lowest. Under the control of the revolutionaries, the working class believes that the capitalists have bought the government and their interests are betrayed.

The situation in Vienna was very detrimental to the government. By March 4, 1848, the news of the success of the French Revolution in February had spread in Vienna.

Under the manipulation of the capitalists, citizens, workers, and students of Vienna took to the streets to demonstrate on March 5.

The flags of anti-hunger, anti-economic crisis, anti-dictatorship, and anti-corruption were raised. Delegates of the march submitted a petition to Ferdinand I, calling for the removal of the Metternich cabinet, the implementation of constitutional government, and the abolition of serfdom ...

It is very interesting that the Labor Protection Law was not proposed. Obviously the representative responsible for drafting the petition at this time has already betrayed the working class.

No such request is acceptable to Prime Minister Metternich, and the petition is naturally impossible to pass.

As for the wishes of His Majesty the Emperor, of course, they were represented by the Regency Committee. Many of them did want Prime Minister Metternich to get out, but other conditions were not acceptable to them.

For their own benefit, everyone still stood together for the time being.

At this time, apart from activists, most people have not thought about revolution.

Including the bourgeoisie, they just wanted to cut the flesh from the nobility to survive this crisis and were not ready for revolution.

...

The carriage passed through the narrow streets, lined with small earthen houses on either side, and a pungent smell came across.

The carriage stopped in front of a small house. A young man in a gorgeous dress came down from the carriage, stepped on it, and felt soft. When he looked down, it turned out to be animal offal.

"Hure!"

A very depressed curse, the youth knocked on the courtyard door, the carriage had already left.

There is no way, and the secret police in Vienna do not eat idle meals, they are doing the business of losing their heads.

At this time, the slums were the safest place. The chaotic environment and crisscross alleys were the weakest areas of the police force.

The door of the courtyard opened, and a man without a body came out and looked around. After confirming that no one had followed him, he put the man in.

"Jack, you are finally here, everyone will be waiting for you!"

The young man named Jack frowned, the disgust in his eyes flashed away, and said with a smile: "Sorry Cole, the enemy's nose is too smart, I have to be careful to get rid of them!"

Cole was closing the door, not paying attention to Jack's expression, and continued: "It doesn't matter. Be sure to be careful at this time. Let's start when you come!"

"Gentlemen, the timing of the revolution is ripe, and it is impossible for the reactionary government to agree to our request.

The Metternich government deceived us again, and there is no need to continue to be patient at this time.

The Paris Revolution has triumphed, and it is our turn at this time, and now is the best opportunity.

The City Defense Army is training in the wild. If you want to return, it will take two days at the fastest ... "

A gray man said in a dilemma: "Mr. Jack, I am afraid the timing is not yet ripe to launch an uprising. Although the city defense army is training in the wild, there are still five thousand people left behind, we don't always ...

Jack frowned, and he didn't like to be refuted, especially by people who looked down upon him.

If it is not the capitalists behind the scenes who need them to initiate an uprising at this time and put pressure on the government, he will not come to see the workers ’representatives at this time.

According to his ideas, the revolution should be commanded by decent people like them, and these untouchables should just obey the command.

However, it is time for them to sell their lives. They have little prestige among the working class and can only rely on the leadership of these workers' movements.

Jack explained impatiently: "Mr. Powell, don't worry, we have secretly purchased a batch of weapons. As long as there are guys in hand, are you still afraid of those old soldiers?

Moreover, the army is not our enemy. Except for the noble officers, most of them are the same working masses as you. We can ...

Obviously, they are all members of the Revolutionary Party in name. In fact, they are not all the way. The proletariat and the bourgeoisie are inherently opposed.

Only in this era, the proletarian revolutionary organization has not yet been established, mainly dependent on the existence of the bourgeois revolutionary party.

In the end, they were still persuaded. Perhaps it was forced to be persuaded by reality. A large number of unemployed people are waiting for Mi Xia Guo?
