The pilgrimage is significant to most people, but it does not include Franz.

As an emperor, he still had privileges, and under the pretext of handling government affairs, Franz directly avoided a series of activities. He has already made up his mind that he will not show his head until the time of his coronation.

The charm of Jerusalem is great, not only the Franz family has come, but most of the high-ranking Vienna government has also followed.

It doesn't matter whether these people are devout believers or not, but for politicians, it is very meaningful to participate in this Jerusalem coronation.

This is the first king of Christendom in the hundreds of years since Jerusalem was lost, and it deserves to be recorded in detail in the history books in terms of both political and religious significance.

As a participant, it is inevitable that the name of history will be left behind. And there will be a high historical evaluation, combined with the development of Austria, this cabinet will most likely be mythologized by posterity.

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, since ancient times, the virtuous ministers and the Ming monarch, the two sides are complementary to each other, and Franz never minds that his subordinates have a good reputation and high prestige.

In the royal palace of Jerusalem

Foreign Secretary Wessenberg: "Your Majesty, news has just come that there has been a coup d'état in Ankara, the reformist leader Grand Vizier has been killed, and Abdulaziz I has been deposed.

According to the information we have received, it was the Ottoman al-Shabaab that carried out the coup, the main student of the coup, and part of the Forces nouvelles.

After the coup d'état, conservatives and religious people joined in, and now the situation in Ankara is completely out of control. ”

Due to the butterfly effect, the Ottoman Shabaab is also a little different from the original time and space, the formation time is a little earlier, and the participants have also changed.

After the First Near Eastern War, people of insight who were unwilling to watch the fall of the Ottoman Empire formed a patriotic alliance. Because most of the participants were patriotic youths, they were known to the outside world: the Ottoman Youth Party.

The impact of the loss of the Balkans was too great, and as soon as this organization appeared, it quickly grew in the Ottoman Empire.

Al-Shabaab's growth also caused unease in the Sudanese government, which soon ushered in a crackdown on the government. Due to the disorganized internal structure, Al-Shabaab soon found itself in trouble.

It was at this time that Abdulaziz I, who had just succeeded to the throne, kicked off the prelude to reforms, and many of the policies of the Sudanese government eased internal contradictions to a certain extent.

After the outbreak of the Russo-Prussian War, the Sudanese government succeeded in speculatively recovering the Caucasus from the Russians, the prestige of the government increased, and the Ottoman al-Shabaab was torn apart.

Under normal circumstances, this organization, like most revolutionary organizations, would have disappeared into obscurity in the long river of history.

Just when the Ottoman al-Shabaab was about to finish, the Second Near Eastern War broke out and saved the organization.

After another defeat, the Government of the Sudan has lost its popular base, and all sectors of society have lost confidence in the Government and have fallen into confusion.

Recalling the information in his mind, Franz asked with concern: "What is the strength of the Ottoman al-Shabaab, is it possible to merge with the conservatives?" ”

The revolutionary positions of the bourgeois revolutionary organizations of this era were not very firm. Especially in a country like the Ottoman Empire, where the capital economy has not developed, many members of the al-Shabaab are still from feudal aristocratic backgrounds.

It is naturally impossible to carry out such a thorough reform of one's own life. From the fact that this uprising was defined as a coup d'état, Franz knew that the Ottoman Empire still had a long way to go.

The key is whether Al-Shabaab can stabilize the situation, keep the Ottoman Empire, and prevent the empire from completely splitting up in civil war.

Wesenberg shook his head: "The Ottoman al-Shabaab has grown rapidly recently, with more than 100,000 members, and it has also won the support of many young officers.

However, these are all illusory, and it is difficult to bring these forces together because of the lack of a strong leader within the Shabaab party.

The Ottoman al-Shabaab were mostly young people who had embraced new ideas, and there were irreconcilable contradictions between them and the conservative ideology, especially on religious issues, and the two sides could not compromise.

Abdulaziz I's attempts to carry out secular reforms were blocked by conservatives, and now the Ottoman al-Shabaab is also facing difficulties.

Barring an accident, the Ottoman government will be embroiled in a power struggle for a long time to come. Coupled with the surging national independence movement in the country, the possibility of a breakup of the Ottoman Empire is very high. ”

Most people in this era believed that the Ottoman Empire was backward, mainly due to religion and institutions. As long as the secular reforms were carried out and the Western political system was learned, the Ottoman Empire could soon become strong.

This judgment cannot be said to be wrong, and in Franz's opinion it is far from enough. If only the reform of religion and political systems can achieve a strong country, then it is too simple to make a strong country.

Now the priority of the Ottoman Empire is not reform, but stability. The regime cannot be stabilized, and it is completely superfluous to talk about reform.

Dispelling the superfluous thoughts, Franz made a decision: "Let them go to the affairs of the Ottoman Empire, anyway, we are already enemies, even if we help them, people will not appreciate it."

Since Britain and France decided to prop up the Ottoman Empire, they would not have watched them split. A fragmented Ottoman Empire not only could not contain us, but gave us fat.

Now in contact with nationalist groups within the Ottoman Empire, if the Ottoman Empire does split, it will also be divided within the framework we have delineated. ”

Keeping the Ottoman Empire, Franz no longer had illusions.

Although the existence of the Ottoman Empire was more conducive to Austria's strategic concealment, there was no reason to help the Ottoman Empire stabilize the situation from the position of the Vienna government.

As for the Anglo-French intervention to keep the Ottoman Empire? Franz really didn't like them, and what about the rebel army in the Ottoman country?

Armenian rebel army, Greek rebel army, Jewish rebel army......

Most of these armed groups were supported by Austria and Russia during the Near East War, and now they have a certain strength.

Although the Second Near East War ended, the after-effects of the war had only just begun.

The post-war Great Depression, the refugee crisis, and the government's financial woes...... and a series of other factors, all of which plagued the Ottoman government.

Britain and France are not philanthropic and cannot invest money indefinitely. Trapped by government finances, Abdulaziz I failed to solve these problems, and neither can the current Ottoman al-Shabaab.
