"Otherwise we will also convene a federal parliament in the German region, inviting governments from all countries to participate and discuss the integration of the German region.

I believe that the impact of meetings at the government level is definitely not comparable to a group of capitalists!Grand Duke Louis proposed

"But such a conference cannot produce results. The interests of different countries are different. It is almost impossible to reach an agreement!" Prime Minister Felix said with a frown.

There is another way, which everyone does not mention very well, is to exert diplomatic pressure to forcibly dissolve the capitalists ’parliament.

The probability of success is too low. Many states in the German area are now in revolution. The Frankfurt area is actually under the control of the capitalists, unless an army is sent.

This is obviously impossible. If you have this energy, Franz might as well suppress the domestic rebellion earlier and restore national strength.

"We can contact the various states in the German region, directly declare the Frankfurt meeting illegal, and refuse to recognize any agreement they reached!" Metternich thought and said

Historically, Austria did the same, but that was when the Frankfurt Congress of 1849 enacted a constitution that made every monarchy unavoidable, and finally Austria, Prussia, Bavaria and other countries denied their legitimacy.

However, there are still 29 German states, forced by domestic public opinion, to accept this constitution, which was the legal basis for Prussia to unify Germany later.

This is not a contradiction. Although there are Prussian shadows behind this meeting, it does not represent the position of the royal family.Prussia is not monolithic, there are various forces criss-crossing inside.

"So, send a group of capitalists to make troubles, raise a bunch of complicated issues, delay the time as far as possible, and prevent them from reaching an agreement. When we resolve the domestic contradictions, we will find their guilty conscience!

Franz finally came up with a bad idea. Originally, this Frankfurt meeting was full of internal contradictions and noisy every day.

If the Austrian representative had deliberately delayed time in the past, it would be even more difficult to reach an agreement. Historically, the draft constitution was only drafted in March 1849.

To delay the time further, it should be enough to deal with internal conflicts.The strength of the Austrian government is now much stronger than in the same period in history.

"Your Highness, in fact we can still fight with them in public opinion. The bourgeoisie is the organizer of this meeting. They cannot represent the German people.

It is just that they are using the resources in their hands to build momentum, and even the so-called representatives are mostly not chosen by the people themselves.

We can expose the atrocities of the capitalists and declare to the public that this is a conspiracy of the capitalists to try to turn everyone into slave workers."Metternich added

Franz smiled slightly and thought: "It is worthy of being a strong man who has dominated the situation in Europe for more than 30 years. It is indeed the right choice to let Metternich as foreign minister!"

What is the capitalist, is it still necessary to say?Don't have too much black history, you can collect a lot of them casually.

The black material of the delegates who participated in the meeting was exploded, and the custody made them famous.

When the time comes to pick out the decisions made at the Frankfurt meeting and expose the sinister intentions of the capitalists, then everything is different.

Whoever dares to propose to exclude Austria from Germany is a sinner who attempts to split Germany.No matter what other people think, those who advocate big German will definitely think so.

If the two ideas of big and small Germany collide, there will be internal fighting within the capitalists. Even if they are not willing to fight, the representatives of Austria can provoke trouble?

Scandals can be created without scandals. For example, it is proposed to pass some bills favoring capitalists. I am not afraid that the General Assembly will not pass. It is enough to turn the Frankfurt meeting into a joke.

The background of the convening of this meeting itself was that some state governments were unable to suppress the revolutionary movements in the country before allowing the congress to be convened. The main purpose was to divert attention.

When the revolution was in full swing, a large group of capitalists did not engage in domestic affairs and went to Frankfurt to hold a meeting, which had to make people think.

Do n’t look at the fact that their representatives are democratically elected, in fact all are nonsense.

Holding a national election this year is not that simple.As long as they are not stupid, governments of all countries will prevent them, and most elections will not proceed smoothly.

So from the beginning, this meeting has nothing to do with the general public, they just represent the interests of the capitalists.

...

Just as everyone was discussing how to disturb the Frankfurt meeting, a middle-aged military officer hurriedly came over and was shocked outdoors:

"Your Highness, urgent military situation!"

Franz frowned and said, "Take the battle report in!"

Cabinet meetings cannot be rushed, and exceptions can be made in case of an emergency military situation, but Franz still needs to agree.

After receiving the battle report, Franz looked at it seriously. Milan had fallen behind, and almost all of the Lombardy area fell. Now the war has burned to the Venice area.

After reading the battle report, Franz handed it over directly to the prime minister for cabinet members to circulate.

The content of this battle report is very vague, and many things are not clearly explained.

In addition to explaining that the Austrian army lost its city and lost ground and suffered heavy losses under the internal and external Italians, even the specific losses and the reasons for the failure were not clearly explained.

Franz knew that this was not the style of Marshal Radkis. Even if he lost the front line, he would not even write a battle report.

Under normal circumstances, you can always ask for help in a defeat.Marshal Radkis also asked for help on the battle report, but did not ask to send reinforcements immediately, that means letting the country do it!

There is only one explanation, what he is planning.For confidentiality, many key places have been hidden.

"His Royal Highness, this battle is not the time to lose!" Foreign Minister Metternich frowned.

It's really not the time. Are they preparing to disrupt the Frankfurt meeting?A losing battle reduced Austria's reputation by a few points.

Even connecting diplomatic negotiations with various countries, Austria will be at a disadvantage.

Looking at the map, combined with what happened in history, Franz seemed to understand the plan of Marshal Radkis.

All European politicians know that the current situation at home and abroad does not allow Austria to fail on the Italian battlefield.

In this case, Marshal Radkis did the opposite, and lured the enemy deeper. The military feasibility is very high.
