Holy Roman Empire

With the opening of compulsory education, Austria's internal reforms came to an end temporarily.The government's energy is limited and it is impossible to take into account all aspects at the same time.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the 1848 Revolution, Austria ’s internal reforms have taken a big step forward, and it is time to consolidate success.

No reform can be accomplished by a single government decree. More policies must be implemented.

As the government was busy, Franz eased.In his view, the emperor's life will be better only if everything under his bureaucracy is done.

Once they were idle, the question came.Either the power struggle within the government is intensified, or they want to seize power from the emperor, or even do both together.

Schonbrunn Palace

Maid Jenny whispered in the ears of Franz: "Your Majesty, this is the best tea brought back from Qing Dynasty by the Lord Gold of Paulkocha-Longjing.

It is said that it is produced from the West Lake with the best water quality there. I did not expect that the tea tree can still grow in the water. It really is the largest in the world."

Franz Haha smiled and said, "Nonsense, who told you that the tea tree grows in water?"

As an emperor, how could there be fewer flatterers?Knowing that Franz's habit of drinking tea is over, there will naturally be someone who does what he wants.

Due to cultural differences, many things will naturally become bad after being translated.

As for whether this tea is West Lake Longjing, only God knows.Franz can at most determine whether this is Longjing tea, whether it was produced in West Lake, Yuezhou, or Qiantang, which is too embarrassing.

Taking into account the relationship between production, Franz estimates that even if these teas are produced in West Lake, it would not be the best Longjing, and Paul Kochagin was mostly cheated by the merchants.

At this time, they have not been able to penetrate inland areas, and there are many people who are deceived in doing business there.

"Is the bastard Paul Kochagin lied to me? Huh! Looking back, I must find him to settle the accounts!" Jenny said angrily

She was really angry, and as Franz's maid, many people pleased her.

For example, if these teas are delivered, if Franz drinks it alone, it is estimated that he will not be able to drink it in the next century.

Paul Kochagin also blew the tea leaves upside down, and gave a lot of gifts, so that Jenny made a smooth statement in front of Franz.

As a result, there was a big oolong. The little maid who thought she was embarrassed would naturally go viral.

Franz touched Jenny's forehead and comforted: "Okay, don't be angry. It is estimated that he was also fooled.

West Lake Longjing has a history of more than a thousand years, and it was only a taste of tea hundreds of years ago.In modern times, the Qing emperor visited the West Lake and he liked Longjing very much.

As a result, the status of West Lake Longjing in tea has improved, and the best Longjing tea has now become a tribute. The output is very small and rarely outflows, and most people cannot buy it.

In fact, there is no best tea in the world, everyone's taste is different, only the one you like best is the best.

This tea is good, with all colors, aromas, flavors, and flavors."

After some ostentation, Franz successfully harvested a wave of little maid worship.

...

After the episode, Franz successfully remembered Paul Kochagin.

Austria is still not lacking in talent, although these people have not left a big name in history, this is the relationship of the stage, not that their ability is really bad.

There are usually only three people running overseas in this era, one is a desperate man, one is a person who desires a further social status, and the other is a person who wants to make a fortune.

No matter what kind of person, in Franz's view is a talent.Once Austria ’s overseas colonization plan was launched, these people had their place.

Drinking tea, reading newspapers, reading books, this is Franz's spare life.He also wanted to give a try to the luxury life of the drunken gold fan, but unfortunately people can't jump.

Who made the original owner a dervish?All of a sudden, it is very easy to cause trouble.The emperor is not an ordinary person, and words and deeds may affect politics.

If Franz takes the lead in life corruption, it may not be long before the Austrian officialdom, which has just improved, will fall back again.

For the happy life of more than 30 million Austrian people, Franz had to continue to play his role, at most a little lazy.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Metternich is here." The maid's voice sounded

"Bring him here," Franz said calmly.

The emperor did not have a fixed day of rest and was disturbed during the rest. Franz was already used to it.

"Your Majesty, the news has just arrived, the Putin war broke out again." Metternich said

After the Berlin Revolution, the Kingdom of Prussia initially reached an internal compromise. In order to transfer domestic contradictions, Friedrich-William IV and the liberals provoked the Pudan War very well, attempting to swallow Schleswig and Holstein Two principalities.

Finally, under the strong pressure of the Russians, the Kingdom of Prussia made concessions and the two sides reached a truce.

"What happened, did the Prussians inform us in advance?" Franz asked with concern.

On the issue of the two principalities of Schleswig and Holstein, the Austrian government is the only supporter of the Prussians.

Although it is only verbal support, in the case of European countries supporting Denmark, they should not give up fighting for Austria ’s support.

"The conditions between the two sides of Putin are too great. The negotiations between the two parties broke down three days ago. The two countries declared war on each other yesterday. After the war broke out, Prussian talents informed us." Metternich replied with a frown

Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the Prussian approach.Did n’t even do it even before the announcement, was this ignoring Austria?

Franz understands the Prussian government's approach, even if it is useless to negotiate with Austria, the Austrian government will certainly not support their merger of the Principalities of Schleswig and Holstein.

It is better to create the established facts, as long as Austria does not fight against the Kingdom of Prussia, it can only pinch its nose.

"In this case, let the Russians contact us to show our attitude and let them rest assured that Austria will only support Prussia in name." Franz sneered.

The kingdom of Denmark in this era has long since fallen, and it is not an opponent of the Prussians at all, but they can't stand the marriage and find Russians as backers.

Without Austria's full support, Prussia wants to merge Schleswig and Holstein, first ask the Russians if they agree?

Public opinion is indeed very important, but if you can get Pu Russia to fight, Franz does n’t mind breaking a public opinion.On the pretext that he thought about it, the Austrian government had no money to fight.

Anyway, the Austrian people have not cultivated the spirit of internationalism, and they will not come out to demonstrate for this matter.If anyone is clamoring for war, Franz does n’t mind taking all their possessions to fill the military.

"Your Majesty, the Russians are unlikely to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Prussia, otherwise the Russian army launched an attack last year.

If we do not intervene, it is really possible for the Prussians to occupy Schleswig and Holstein, which is very detrimental to us."Metternich analyzed

The Russians did not want to fight against the Kingdom of Prussia for the Danes. This is very obvious. It is not in the interest of the Russians to wage this war.

The Russians do not want to fight, let alone the European countries.Shouting slogans is okay. If you really want to send troops to fight, it is estimated that everyone should counsel.

Austria ’s nominal support has increased the confidence of the Prussians, at least not to worry about the south.

"To express our dissatisfaction to the Prussians, and at the same time to encourage the Prussian kingdom to persevere in fighting through the German nationalists, creating an illusion that the German people are supporting them.

Secretly contacting other German states, once the Prussians occupied Schleswig and Holstein, everyone put pressure together to force the Prussians to separate the two principalities.

When necessary, we can launch a preventive war and cede the common Polish to the Russians in exchange for the Russians sending troops."Franz thought for a while and said

Well, this is the most ideal state. As long as the Prussians are not stupid, they will figure it out in advance. Haven't they backed down in history?

Franz digs this pit, just for a rainy day. If you live in the Kingdom of Prussia, you will make a big profit.

"Your Majesty, if you want the Kingdom of Prussia to be fooled, then it is best that we do not secretly contact with the German state, otherwise there will be more countries that are difficult to keep secret." Metternich thought and said

Although he didn't think that Franz's plan would succeed, Metternich also didn't mind trying it. It was a big failure that the Austrian government performed in vain, and successfully succeeded in stabilizing Austria's position as the leader of the German state.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is doing it. If the Prussian government is not fooled, let the nationalists put pressure on them and try to keep the Prussians in the war for as long as possible." Franz thought and said

The war is very costly. For every day of the delay of the Pudan War, the military expenditure of the Prussian government is a considerable amount.

More money was spent in the war, and the money that the Kingdom of Prussia could invest in domestic construction naturally decreased.

One day or two is not obvious. If it drags on for a few months, the fiscal revenue of the Kingdom of Prussia will be almost lost.

You know, now the revolutionary governments in the Schleswig and Holstein districts also need Prussian funding. These are pure inputs and will not be rewarded in a short time.

Even if you win the Kingdom of Denmark, there is no prize. With the Russians as the backstage, the Danes do not need to cut the ground or pay compensation.

Historically, the Kingdom of Prussia was forced to withdraw from the war by the pressure of various countries, and then watched the supporting Schleswig-Holstein revolutionary government was wiped out by the Danes.
