In Franz's view, Louis-Philippe's biggest failure after the outbreak of the Paris Revolution was that he did not control the army in the first place.

At this time, most of the French army was only sympathetic to the revolutionary party, but they had not already joined the revolutionary party. They are not against the emperor, and they can be bribed.

As long as there are soldiers at hand, everything is easy to say, whether it is to suppress the revolution or everyone to sit down and talk slowly, there is enough room for maneuver.

Isn't the government of Gizo already stinking? Then let them stink a little more, and throw all the black pots at them, anyway, in the eyes of the people, they are already bad and pus.

In short, all the bad things are done by them, and they have nothing to do with the emperor.

……

Snowflakes are falling in waves, and the bitter cold wind is still raging in Vienna.

The news of the Paris Revolution was no secret in the upper echelons of Vienna, and it would probably be spread throughout Austria in less than two days.

"Albrecht, let's do field training, and let our men take control of the troops as soon as possible!" Franz said with a serious face

"What's the matter, Franz? Why is it so urgent, if you train for another month or two, they will become qualified officers, and most of them are still a little short at this time! Albrecht asked, puzzled

Ever since the news of the Paris Revolution came, Franz had been urging him to speed up, as if something bad was about to happen, much to Albrecht's bewilderment.

"The Paris Revolution has broken out, and the Great Revolution is about to break out again on the European continent, and in the case of Austria, the possibility of a revolution in Vienna is very high!" Franz said with a solemn expression

Albrecht looked bewildered, and his open mouth seemed to be able to swallow an egg. A revolution is going to break out in Vienna? When this question is said, it is estimated that many people will take it as a joke.

The Austrian government, though rotten, was not yet to the point of wrath, the army remained loyal to the crown, and the bourgeoisie at home was being crushed by the aristocracy.

The working class, which had been dissatisfied with the government, also turned its resentful eyes to the bourgeoisie with the introduction of the Labor Protection Law.

Against this background, is it possible to count on the bourgeoisie for the outbreak of revolution? Or are they democrats in society?

Franz analyzed with a wry smile: "Do not find it strange that the working class does not oppose the government, and even the bourgeoisie does not have a strong desire to rebel. But the reality can't help them!

Albrecht, you should be aware of the impact of this economic crisis on the country.

There were more than 50,000 unemployed people in Vienna, the capitalists suffered heavy losses, and many of them hoarded large quantities of goods.

With the outbreak of the revolution in Europe, the economic situation in Austria is likely to deteriorate further, the workers want to eat, the capitalists want to save themselves, but the Austrian government does nothing.

There is also a group of fools among the aristocracy, who followed the capitalists to raise prices some time ago, and in order to make up for the losses, they actually increased the exploitation of serfs.

Austria has become a powder keg, and now only one spark is needed to be detonated! ”

Albrecht nodded palely, these words could be said by Franz, the crown prince of the empire, and as the commander of the city defense army in Vienna, he could agree with them, but he could not say them directly.

As Austria's largest aristocrat, Albrecht was undoubtedly very hostile to the revolution, and apart from other factors, the more than 500,000 acres of land alone could not tolerate anyone breaking the order.

(500,000 acres is about 3.04 million city acres, about 2,000 square kilometers.) ）

This was only a fiefdom, and there was also a large number of possessions in the Albrecht of Vienna, including the summer palace of the Wilburg Palace and the Hermitage in Vienna (now the Albertina Museum area).

With such a rich family background, Albrecht naturally looked down on the capitalists, and the Austrian capitalist was not so arrogant.

If it weren't for his own people, Franz would have even thought of robbing. There is not only one such tyrant in Austria, such as the Kohali family, a branch of the Gotha Dynasty, and so on.

Of course, the richest family is still the royal family, and the accumulation of hundreds of years of the Habsburg family is still very rich.

In the Oriental world, 10,000 acres of fertile land are big landlords and big tyrants, and when it comes to the European continent, it is at most a small turtle, and the family background of any big nobleman starts with millions of acres.

"Franz, didn't you alert Prime Minister Metternich to these questions?"

As soon as he said that, Albrecht regretted it, and this is a very obvious problem. Metternich has been in the prime minister's position for too long, but it has not met everyone's expectations.

People are forgetful, and at this time everyone has overlooked the exploits of Metternich, especially after the outbreak of the Paris Revolution, when the Viennese system was shattered.

Prime Minister Metternich's greatest diplomatic exploits have been wasted, and the opposition who want to get him out of the way no longer has any scruples.

Franz does not speak of Prime Minister Metternich's opposition, but as the crown prince, he is naturally hostile to the ministers, which is determined by his status.

"I'm afraid our Prime Minister has known about these problems for a long time, but it's hard to say whether he pays attention to it or not!

Albrecht, you don't think I can be his lord now, do you? Franz asked jokingly

Albrecht smiled slightly, Prime Minister Metternich is very strong, even the other members of the regency committee are crushed to death, how can people point fingers at him?

"Alright then, I'll arrange it. But the order of training, you have to do it yourself, the Regency Committee won't buy me! Albrecht said

He already knew what Franz was going to do, and as soon as the Vienna Revolution broke out, Prime Minister Metternich would have to get out.

At this time, there will be an emptiness of power in the government, and the prestige of the regency committee will also plummet, and it will become logical for Franz to take the regent in advance.

As a political ally, Albrecht naturally hoped that day would come sooner rather than later.

"Don't pay attention to them, they are busy fighting at this time, and they can't take care of this little thing. Besides, I still have the order of His Majesty the Emperor in my hands! Franz said with a sneer

That's right, Franz is holding chicken feathers as arrows. It was impossible for the Regency Council to hold Ferdinand I accountable, and it was just a field exercise, and Franz was completely able to hold it back.

As soon as the Vienna Revolution broke out, the one who had soldiers in his hands was the master, and whoever controlled the 14,000-strong city defense army would have the right to speak in Vienna.
