There is no market for "three requests and three resignations" in Europe, and there is no need for even three resignations.

Now that the regency has been in hand, Franz naturally will not ask for trouble, and immediately takes over the power, not giving Archduke Louis a chance to repent.

Immediately afterwards, Franz changed the subject.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the rebellion in Vienna has been suppressed, but the rest of Austria is about to be in chaos again, and we must act more aggressively to avoid the collapse of the Empire!"

Everyone's faces changed, the good mood for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe no longer existed, what a terrible thing is the collapse of the empire?

As the great nobles of Austria, their interests were tied to the country, and once the empire collapsed, everything they had would be wiped out.

"Franz, it's not that bad, are they?" Archduke John asked with concern

"Yes Since the February Revolution in Paris, the whole of Europe has gone crazy, and revolutions are brewing in many places, including Austria.

The bureaucrats of the Reich have decayed, and as in the case of the Vienna Rebellion, which could have been settled by the police, ended up in a human tragedy, in which tens of thousands of Austrians died, including hundreds of nobles!

At this time, if we don't come up with more active measures, the Orleans dynasty today is our tomorrow, and even worse! Franz threatened

Can this scare them? It's obviously impossible, don't think that these grand dukes are not very capable, just think that they are easy to fool, that is nonsense.

Franz put forward these things in a priori to take advantage of the fact that everyone had just experienced the Vienna Revolution and that their mentality had not yet recovered, and it was inevitable that they would be pessimistic when looking at the problem.

At this time, Franz exaggerated and took advantage of the asymmetry of information to create an illusion for them, that is, the Austrian people were dissatisfied with the current political system and the distribution of interests, and if they did not reform, they would rebel, or they would have rebelled.

"Franz, can you tell us about the situation outside?" Archduke Louis asked

Obviously, he was also swayed by the news brought by Franz, and they were not afraid of the rebellion of the people of Vienna, but it would be terrible if the people of other places followed suit.

After thinking about it, Franz said cautiously: "Hmm. After the February Revolution in Paris, the revolutionary parties in all European countries were encouraged, and the undercurrents were surging in the major cities, and everyone knew this.

After the outbreak of the Vienna Revolution on 7 March, the revolutionary spirit in Austria was on the rise, and although we succeeded in suppressing the rebellion, the masterminds behind it fled.

It is worth our vigilance that the Vienna Revolution involved not only the revolutionary party, but also the capitalists, the aristocracy, and the officials of the city government.

If we look at it from the perspective of social classes, including workers, peasants, burghers, middle class, bourgeoisie, and aristocracy, this coverage is too wide.

If it had not been for the fact that it happened so suddenly, and because of the serious internal contradictions of the chaotic party, the Vienna Revolution would have been a success! ”

Hearing the news, everyone was dumbfounded, even the nobles participated in the revolution, which means that the current Viennese government is losing its foundation.

Archduke John hurriedly asked, "Franz, are you sure that nobles are involved in this rebellion?" Is it a person, or is it a ......"

Franz said with a wry smile: "At present, there are eighty-three nobles who have been confirmed to be involved in this rebellion, and the number of those who have not been found may be even more."

Their reason for joining the rebellion was very simple, that is, they were dissatisfied with the government's inaction in the economic crisis, or rather did not allow them to make money while hoarding! ”

"Don't you know what you're doing, these bastards? If the empire is finished, they will still be able to live a good life! Archduke Louis said angrily

Others are also angry with each other, this is smashing their own jobs, without the Austrian Empire, can these nobles still have their current status?

……

Franz explained: "I am afraid that this problem has something to do with our system, so that they can not be afraid, anyway, even if it fails, we will not be able to kill them all."

If successful, the new government can also be part of the interest group. As for the glory of the nobility, if they still cared, they would not have participated! ”

Everyone stopped talking, and at this time everyone found that Franz's knife was down, and it was estimated that the interests of the aristocratic class would be damaged, and it involved their own rights and interests, and no one was willing to give in.

The only one whose face remained unchanged was Archduke Franz Karl, who seemed to be playing soy sauce from beginning to end, as if these things had nothing to do with him, and at this time he spoke.

"Franz, what are you going to do?"

The faces of the crowd changed slightly, but they did not say anything, and there was no need for them to stand up against Franz until they were unsure of Franz's purpose.

"Those who participated in the rebellion must be severely punished, with the leaders of the rebellion being sent to the gallows, and the others being sentenced according to the severity of the circumstances.

Abolish all titles of the nobles who participated in the rebellion, confiscate all property, and other specific disposal plans can be decided by the Council of Nobles! ”

Franz immediately stated his purpose, he was not afraid that anyone would object, this Vienna rebellion had killed three digits of nobles, and if the rebels were not severely punished, their relatives and friends would not agree.

For the nobles, in fact, the most serious punishment was not the beheading, but the abolition of the title and the confiscation of the fief, which meant that the glory of the family was lost.

Several archdukes glanced at each other, but it was Archduke Louis who spoke first: "Franz, this time the involvement is too extensive, can you keep the title?" ”

Franz shook his head and said, "If the handling is lighter this time, I'm afraid there won't be only so many people involved in the rebellion next time."

And those who died, how should we account for it? According to our preliminary statistics, I'm afraid there are more than a dozen noble family ancestral halls! ”

Everyone's face changed drastically, the "heir" is definitely the most terrible consequence, and there is a noble family that has an heir because of this, then things have changed qualitatively.

During the Holy Roman Empire, when the emperor wanted to confiscate the fiefs of the nobility, there would be a collective opposition from everyone, but now in the Austrian era, it is different.

The big nobles in the country were not so strong, there was no situation where several princes joined forces, and even the emperor could not do anything, so Franz dared to play like this.

Some of them will even be implicated, and as long as a member of the noble family participates in the rebellion, they will be unlucky, because there is no way to explain this kind of thing.

Of course, if you are smart enough, there is no way to avoid it, as long as you prove your worth before the liquidation is completed, Franz will also be merciful.
