Holy Roman Empire

The torrent of history is rolling forward, and after the end of the Putin War, the situation in Europe has changed dramatically, and the reform seems to have become the mainstream of society overnight.

In addition to the Russians in the Ice Country, most of the countries on the European continent are carrying out social reforms. Austria is reforming, France is reforming, Prussia is reforming ...

The reform is good, everyone is busy with internal reforms, and there is no energy to do things. The situation in Europe has calmed down, as if it has returned to the era of Metternich.

Franz knew this was an illusion, the contradiction did not disappear, but only temporarily lurked.How can there be a bear that is ready to break the international order and John Bull, who is afraid of chaos, how to make Europe truly peaceful?

The Austrian government has accelerated the pace of internal rectification. Today, the official was warned and punished. The official rolled back home tomorrow, and occasionally an unlucky egg was brought to court by the Anti-Corruption Department.

After the decree to rectify the officialdom atmosphere, the official stopped talking about life.Since March, almost every day, dozens of officials have lost their jobs for various reasons, and one-tenth of them have been brought to court.

As far as Franz knows, this is still merciful to the government, otherwise this number will easily expand tenfold.Perhaps it is that the emperor Tian Gao is farther away, and the more remote the region, the more daring the bureaucrats.

For example, in the Dalmatian province, there is a mayor named Alliges, who believes that Latin is the best language in the world, and then promotes Latin for decades.

The cabinet government is naturally welcome to such bold officials.

On this pit, he directly sent one-third of the officials of the Dalmatian province home to grow potatoes, of which 300 unlucky eggs accompanied him to prison.

In a rage, Prime Minister Felix dispatched them all to the construction of the railway army to contribute to the modernization of Austria.

Since it is killing chickens and monkeys, how could it not be cruel?

The death penalty was not sentenced and it was not the soft hand of the Austrian government.It is a negative teaching material for living and suffering, which can shock people for a longer time than sending it directly to God.

Ordinary officials are embezzled and bribed, and most of them are confiscated for stolen money, and then decide whether to go home or go to prison depending on the seriousness of the circumstances.

All officials who work against government orders, whether they are clean or not, must go to jail or be the kind of "mainly cared for".

Any identity background is useless this time, and some of the typical people are not going to prison but the whole family, and nobles are no exception.

The prestige of Felix's "Prime Minister Butcher" came into play, which made the bureaucrats frightened. Even if they were very dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to make any moves, for fear of getting burned.

Not only is the government making a big move, but the Austrian army is also reorganizing its military discipline. The Army Department has removed 12 generals and 361 school-level officers. The lower-level small fishes have also been counted out.

Most of these people were driven home for malfeasance and misconduct, and a few were sent to military courts for corruption and bribery.

I have to say that the military aristocrats still pay attention to eating pictures, probably because they are afraid of being shot with black guns on the battlefield, and there are still very few people who deduct the military pay. Most of them are reselling military supplies in private, or retrieving the deduction when purchasing .

What makes people cry is that many individuals are corrupt corrupt generals, and their reputation in the military is still very good.

Unfortunately, these talents have gone to the wrong studio. If they are in government departments, they may be raised as pigs. If you come to the military, you will consider yourself unlucky.

The officers and soldiers at the bottom did not know, but the military's top management had already realized that the government was preparing for a big war.

Any individual or interest group that affects the combat effectiveness of the army must be defeated.

Looking at the current training situation, all marshals and generals often go to the training ground to supervise the training of the officers and soldiers. Sometimes they are unsightly and they use whips to pump people.

While rectifying the training of the troops, the military organized training courses for officers' professional qualities, specifically for the training of officers. Many noble officers who lived together were often waited for by military sticks and leather whips.

In the evening, in a military camp outside Prague, the exhausted and trained noble officers returned to the collective dormitory to rest.

Gernia asked: "Casamen, your kid is always well informed, do you know when this special training will end?"

"Isn't that nonsense, Guernia. If I knew the news in advance, I would have found a way to slip away, and I would suffer with you here," Casamen replied feebly.

"No, isn't your uncle at the headquarters, is there no news at all?" Gernia asked doubtfully.

"Yes, he told me that I must perform well, otherwise it will be bad luck. Now it is so, look at the salsa of Ling, the ass blossomed. The people in the military department are really ruthless, a little bit No face was left for him. "Casaman replied bitterly.

"That's nothing. The next door Ban Alta wanted to escape through the wall. The soldier on duty was shot on the right leg, almost amputated.

Even so, he was sent to the military court in the name of deserter, and it was a complete death in his life."Gernia said with fear.

...

Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna

Prince Wendy Schgratz submitted a document to Franz, saying, "Your Majesty, this is a perfect reform plan of our War Department. Please look over."

Austria ’s military reform plan, which was made by the deceased Grand Duke Karl, Franz also participated in it, which was full of his miscellaneous private goods, and now the War Department is only perfecting on this basis.

In the battle of 1848, the Austrian army showed a lot of shortcomings, so that the people of insight in the army proposed military system reform. At this time, Franz threw out the reform plan taught to him by Duke Karl.

Despite the implementation of this plan, Duke Karl's influence in the army will continue to increase, Franz still chose to carry out reform under his banner.

In the opinion of Franz, the status of the dead military god is as high as it may be. Duke Karl, the first person recognized by the Austrian military, has proposed that it is more influential than the emperor Franz.

Reform leaders are usually not going to have a good result, and they will suffer as much slander as they receive praise.If you fail, you will be retaliated by interest groups. The dead people do n’t matter, and you ca n’t even get revenge.

Many Austrian generals have been influenced by Grand Duke Karl. For example, the most prestigious Marshal Radsky has served as Chief of Staff to Grand Duke Karl, and Prince Wendisch Gretz himself claimed himself as his junior.

Now is the best time for military reform. If the older generation retires after ten or eight years, it will be difficult to propose again.

Thinking of this, Franz had a headache.The talents in the Austrian army are showing signs of being unsuccessful. Now the generals in the Austrian army are no weaker than any other country.

However, these generals who became famous in the anti-French war are slowly getting older, and the younger generation has not yet emerged.

After a quick turn, Franz asked with interest: "Kick out the overage officers in the army, are you going to retire the veterans?"

Let the veteran retire think about it, if it is done it will be difficult.

Others have made great achievements for Austria. They think they can continue to fight for the country. You are too old to let them go home. Is it unreasonable to say that?

Moreover, in the opinion of Franz, the quality of a mature man, if a battle is fought, the quality of the junior officers is really not as good as that of the older generation.

Talent was born in troubled times. The older generation grew up exactly when Napoleon slammed Europe, and Austria was the main force against Napoleon. After dozens of battles, large and small, the army naturally honed.

They also had a lot of victories. Fortunately, the Austrian army also defeated Napoleon head-on.Many military generals are dissatisfied with the French victory. In their view, if it is not for the government to fall behind, chances are they will win.

The Austrian military soul was cast in that era. In the history of the Franco-Austrian War, the original owner personally took part in commanding the battle and created an epic defeat. This arrogance was defeated.

Without the army of the soul of the army, the combat power naturally declined all the way. By the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it was possible to bully Italy.

Prince Wendishgretz explained: "No, your majesty. These veterans are treasures in the Austrian army. Now they are training the next generation of officers for the Austrian army. How could the Ministry of the Army let them retire!

Our plan is to clear out the current military officers who are under the age of 16 and unable to enter the military."

Franz nodded, this is the disbanding of the legendary "milk bottle regiment".The number of such young military officers in the Austrian army, but not many at all, is still the head of the royal family.

Franz himself is the beneficiary of this policy, but this does not affect his contempt for this policy, the butt determines the head.

At first he was a beneficiary and naturally he had to raise his hands to support him. Now his position has changed. This policy cannot continue to bring benefits to him. Franz's position has also changed.

If you reach the age of service, the nobles will become officers by virtue of superhuman first-class military literacy. No one can say that the army is a place that believes in the strong.

However, this regiment of bottle-bottle officers is unbearable, but no Austrian soldier thinks that their military literacy is not as good as the children who are breastfeeding.

Franz thought for a while and said: "Then change the overage to the younger age, and cancel all military officers who are under the service age and have not entered the military and have served in the military, and the royal family is no exception."

He didn't think that the army was partially unclear, so he mistakenly wrote "underage" as "overage". Obviously, this was while cleaning up the milk bottle officer regiment, and left the back door.

The purpose is very simple, the face of the royal family must be taken care of, can not be generalized, all kicked out.Now Franz ’s three younger brothers are all one of them.

It's just that in Franz's opinion, this is superfluous.The Feeding Bottle Corps has no substantive role. For the sake of a so-called face, it undermines the principle of fairness of the army. It really is not worth the loss.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prince Wendisch Gretz replied

With the royal family taking the lead, what else can the nobles say?Anyway, just let the juniors lose a title, and there is no substantial loss.

The purpose of engaging in such a young military officer was to inspire the next generation to study hard, always remembering that he was an officer.

Up to now, this educational model has succeeded and failed.

The aristocratic children have indeed cultivated the heart of Zhong Zi who thinks Superman is first-class, and strives to be strong in learning. If he exceeds his peers through hard work, his progress will continue after being stimulated.

On the other hand, if you still ca n’t compare with your peers through hard work, this arrogance will naturally wear off and become decadent.
