Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 305 Personnel Adjustment

The Paris Conference, due to the disruption of Austria, caused the Kingdom of Sardinia to lose its bargaining capital and ended at a nearly lightning speed, which is very rare in the history of diplomacy.

The French, who have made a big splash, have once again become the focus of public opinion.The Kingdom of Sardinia has not swallowed, and the French threat theory has once again attracted everyone's attention.

This little problem naturally did not attract the attention of the Parisian government.The French threat theory is no longer a day or two, but it has lasted for decades, and everyone is numb.

Just talk, and you wo n’t lose a piece of meat anyway.At this time, the French are still celebrating this diplomatic victory.

Franz can only be attributed to the Italian complex of the French. Just like the Swiss complex of the Habsburg dynasty, he always wanted to annex these regions.

In his view, in addition to the emotional gains, these regions can actually obtain very limited benefits.

Of course, it is in the interest of the French to do this for the French. With their prominence, the British and Russian fears of Austria have dropped by one grade.

Human thoughts are complex, and many times rely on subjective consciousness to judge.In terms of overall national strength, Austria is not weaker than the French, but in everyone's subconscious mind, they still think that the French are more threatening.

This is not something that can be changed in a day or two. Historically, Bismarck used everyone's subconscious to isolate the French.

If it were n’t for William II ’s collapse, the London government would find that Germany ’s threat was greater and the Allies could not be established.

Now the French are proud, and it is estimated that they have never dreamed of what price the French government has paid in order to eliminate the French threat theory in history.

In order to attract the Russians, the French government sent a large amount of funds out of loans, which slowed down the domestic economic development.

In order to attract the British, he did not hesitate to show his weakness and gave up the naval arms race in the early 20th century.Of course, the lack of government financial resources is also a factor.

Many people think that the diplomacy of the British is very strong, in fact, the French diplomacy is also very bullish.In the case of absolute disadvantage, they still attracted Britain and Russia to form the Allies.

It's just that the French love fighting too much, the cabinet changes too often, and many strategies cannot be implemented because of the struggle for power.

With a handful of Napoleon III, Franz was refreshed.No, this cannot be considered a pit. It should be called a win-win situation. Everyone is taking their own needs.

Now France, which is so coquettish, is still in the sky and cannot feel the threat of survival.The French are also dreaming of world domination, so naturally they do not care about everyone's envy and jealousy.

In the face of tangible benefits, what does it mean to draw a bit of hatred?At that time, Napoleon singled out the entire continent, the French were not afraid, and now it is just showing the limelight, and it is even more impossible to counsel.

Vienna Palace

At the cabinet meeting, Franz announced new appointments.

"After Prince Metternich and Field Marshal Radkis left, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was replaced by the Ambassador to Russia, Wesenberg, and the Chief of the General Staff was first replaced by Field Marshal Edmund."

The Chief of Staff, Franz, was more fond of Marshal Julius Jacob von Heinau, but unfortunately the Tiger of Habsburg was already dying and could only retreat to the second place.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Julius is a champ and butcher, but in Franz's view it is the opposite.

All he did was maintain the rule of the Habsburg dynasty. In order to solve the hidden danger once and for all, he did not hesitate to bear the reputation of bloody suppression of the rebellion, which is completely a model of human subjects.

Under the strong intervention of Franz, Marshal Julius became a positive figure.It has not become as infamous as in history.

Facts have proved that good or bad mood does affect people's lifespan.Under the butterfly effect of Franz, the fate of many people has been rewritten.

Grand Duke Louise asked with concern: "Your Majesty, my resignation?"

The first two retirements were approved, and suddenly he got stuck when he arrived.Grand Duke Lewis didn't want to continue to consume it, it had nothing to do with the desire for power, it was really unsustainable.

There is no cultural tradition in Europe that is too much for a job. Basically, you ca n’t do it anymore, and everyone will choose to retire.

Franz explained: "Wait for two months. I'm going to let Prince Wendishgratz take over as Minister of the Interior. I need to familiarize myself with the matter in advance.

After the transfer of Prince Wendishgretz, the Minister of the Army was replaced by Admiral Albrecht, Governor of the Balkans; and the Viceroy of Balkans was replaced by Lieutenant General Molex."

This is the rule established by Franz after the succession. If it is an appointment of an inter-departmental official, you must first be familiar with the affairs to avoid making jokes.

Important personnel appointments are the responsibility of the emperor himself.Franz did not ask any more about the reassignment.

Human energy is limited, and Franz does not consider himself a superman.It is enough that these 180 people are enough to manage the central government and local key officials, and the rest is naturally left to them to manage.

The appointment of the Minister of the Interior was decided by Franz on a temporary basis, and no one knew it beforehand.

Earlier, it was also discussed in the cabinet meeting that there are too few suitable candidates, and it is also helpless to choose Prince Wendisch Gratz.

This is not the decay of Austrian talent, but the decay of talent among the Austrian nobility.This is inevitable. Where is the population base? How can there be talent from generation to generation?

Because of medical technology, many families face the danger of heirs.In the absence of new blood supplementation, the class of the nobility is destined to be unable to control their rights for a long time.

When this new and old rights alternate, it is often the bloodiest time.If you cannot grasp this degree, it is easy to cause domestic turmoil.

"As an emperor, you can't look at your identity when you hire people, nor can you not look at your identity." This is the most impressive sentence that Franz received from the emperor's education.

Now he has a deep understanding. To govern a country, he must promote talents. Obviously, he cannot see his identity at this time.

But when the rights are balanced, you have to look at your identity.Otherwise the emperor would become dispensable in the last big family.

Relatively speaking, the so-called class is actually not important.This identity can be changed. Franz suppressed the bourgeoisie, but not the capitalists.

To suppress this class, the aggressiveness of the main bourgeoisie is too strong.

Once bigger, driven by interests, it will turn the country into a monetary politics more in line with their interests.

The emperors and nobles are feudal tumors, so they must be cleaned.If you are lucky, the emperor can also become a rubber stamp. If you are unlucky, you can go to the guillotine.

Since it is destined to stand on the opposite side, it can only be suppressed.

However, the bourgeoisie, this group itself is a combination of contradictions, internal struggles are more intense than external struggles, and everyone's competition is much higher than cooperation.

Only if they are not allowed to come together to form a joint interest, then the threat is within the controllable range.

Franz does not object to making money in business.You can also participate in politics, as long as you enter the system according to the rules, he will not object.

If you use the money in your hands to corrupt government officials and try to manipulate the national politics behind you, you must suppress it.
