Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 32 Out of Control

Two stone pillars stood high and low on both sides of the door, like two majestic sentinels, and an iron gate was closed.

The security guard inside seemed to have opened a small gap and simply ignored the call from outside.

"What about the sheriff? The people in the school don't cooperate, do we want to rush them in?"

A police officer anxiously expressed his loyalty without even noticing that he was too hard and slapped the horse fart on the leg.

"A big head ghost at you!"

"Is the person in here an ordinary person?"

"The black lamp is blind, and in case of an accident that rushes in, and human life is taken out, is this responsibility for you, or should I take it?"

...

Winston gave his brother a face-to-face swear, and vented the depression in his heart.

He is already an old fritter in the workplace, knowing that the second-year teenagers in the school are not easy to provoke, and all of them are deadly experts.If you rush in now, you might be beaten by a sap.

If they do n’t use guns, they have n’t necessarily done the students inside. He does n’t dare to use guns. If someone with a background is killed, they will come back and get revenge. He does n’t know how to die.

These are summed up by rich experience in the workplace, otherwise Winston cannot be climbed to the position of sergeant by an ordinary person.

He is satisfied, and if he wants to go further, he must join politics.Winston has self-knowledge, and at the level where he did not graduate from elementary school, he ran to play politics, sooner or later 💊.

"Everyone guarded me, don't let the suspects inside run away!"

Winston came up with a stupid way to block the door here. Anyway, as long as people are controlled and they are not allowed to go out and make trouble, then things will be easier to handle.

Compared to schools, other places are not so lucky. They are not afraid of the police. Many people are imprisoned.

The Vienna government's approach not only did not scare the people, but inspired everyone's enemies and enemies. Under the planning of the Revolutionaries, a more powerful parade broke out in Vienna the next day.

In the government building, Prime Minister Metternich has panicked. As long as the leaders are arrested, the anti-government movement will collapse.

Unfortunately, this time it was different. Everyone was forced to the corner and the government could not solve the real problem. How could they be willing to give up?

The magnificent march against the police broke through the blockade of the police and went straight to the palace. The Vienna government panicked. In a hurry, Prime Minister Metternich ordered the city's defense force to enter the city to maintain order.

...

A fast horse ran wildly on the mountain road, and the Austrians knew it was a herald.In front of the barracks, the commander turned over and dismounted, and was taken in.

"His commander, urgent military situation!"

Albrecht, who had been preparing for it, received the urgent report and opened it on the spot to read it. It was not unexpected. Vienna was in chaos. The government was worried that the situation was out of control and ordered the troops trained in the field to return to the city immediately.

"Submit the order, stop training immediately, pack up and prepare to go back!"

Albrecht said calmly that it took only half a day for heralds to rush over, but the fastest return of the army would take two or three days. Such a long time is enough for many things to happen.

Franz did not prevent the army from returning to the city, so it was too deliberate.He needed the Austrian Empire to break through, but absolutely did not need Austria to really fall apart.

The Vienna rebellion can erupt, but it must be extinguished immediately.He needed to take the opportunity of the rebellion to remove the moth from the government, but he did not intend to let the rebels overthrow the government.

"Franz, the situation in Vienna has become very bad. Yesterday, 100,000 people participated in the demonstration. If the government does not handle it properly, the consequences will be very serious!"

Albrecht said seriously that at this time he was already a bit worried about the layout of Franz, fearing to evolve into the February Revolution in Paris.

Franz smiled slightly, then pointed to the barracks, and then slowly said: "Don't worry, Austria is not the same as France. We still have an army loyal to the royal family!"

This is his confidence, there is also a court guard in Vienna, you can guard the court.Even if the remaining five thousand city defense troops are all waste, they are also waste loyal to the emperor.

Unlike in France, not everyone in the Austrian army can enter. The officers are basically nobles, and they will not easily betray their own class.

The uprising without the support of the army, at most a massive riot, will eventually be suppressed.

Franz is ready, and after returning, he will remove the Metternich cabinet and give the public an explanation.

After announcing the abolition of serfdom and the implementation of the "Labor Protection Law" to appease the hearts of the people, the natural threats will never be asked, only the first evil will be investigated.

It's a big deal to grab a few corrupt officials, take out the sentence and divert everyone's attention.

Even after World War I, the Habsburg family is very important in the eyes of ordinary people. If it is not that the descendants are too muddy to support the wall, the Austro-Hungarian empire will not collapse.

In history, after the outbreak of the Vienna Revolution, some people proposed to abolish the emperor, but it was opposed by the people of Vienna.

...

Vienna

Demonstrators have surrounded the government, the royal palace, and the parliament, asking the government to agree to their conditions.

Dismiss the cabinet, release political prisoners, carry out constitutional reforms, open election restrictions, abolish serfdom, confiscate nobles ’land, distribute land to serfs, and abolish the book inspection system ...

The situation is still on the verge of runaway, and the Vienna government cannot agree to these conditions, which means the destruction of the empire.

History has changed. At this time, the bourgeoisie can no longer meet ordinary reforms. They want to seize the rights of this country in order to survive the crisis.

In order to achieve this goal, everyone no longer cares about the future of Austria. Patriots are used by conspirators, and they have never considered the consequences of doing so.

Ordinary people are even less discriminative, and most of them are coaxing.Even more workers participated in this march because they had money to take it.

That ’s right, there are wages for participating in demonstrations, otherwise the revolution will not have this ability to organize so many people in a short time.

Without the cooperation of the capitalists, communications in this era depended solely on the roar and wanted to do the ideological work of these hundreds of thousands of people. The 180th revolutionary party members alone could not organize them for a month.

I do n’t know who yelled “Metternich ’s out,” and then spread quickly. Thousands of people shouted at the same time:

"Metternich get out!"

"Metternich get out!"

...

The scene was out of control at this time, and the aged Prime Minister Metternich was pale now, without the charm of the past.
