"Either we should convene a German regional federal parliament and invite the governments to discuss the integration of the German region.

I believe that the influence of government-level meetings is definitely not comparable to that of a group of capitalists! Archduke Louis proposed

"But such a conference cannot produce results, the interests of various countries are different, and it is almost impossible to reach an agreement!" Prime Minister Felix said with a frown

There is another method, which is very tacitly not mentioned, which is to exert diplomatic pressure and forcibly dissolve the capitalists' parliament.

The chances of success are too low, and now there are revolutions going on in many of the German states, and the Frankfurt region is effectively controlled by the capitalists unless they send an army there.

This is obviously impossible, and if he had this energy, Franz might as well have suppressed the rebellion in the country earlier and restored his national strength.

"We can contact the states of the German region and directly declare the Frankfurt Conference illegal and refuse to recognize any agreement they have reached!" Metternich thought for a moment and said

Historically, Austria did the same, but it was in 1849 that the Frankfurt Conference formulated a constitution that made the monarchies avoid it, and finally Austria, Prussia, Bavaria and other countries denied their legitimacy.

However, there were still 29 German states, forced to accept this constitution by public opinion, which was the legal basis for Prussia to be able to unify Germany.

This is not contradictory, although there is a Prussian shadow behind this meeting, this does not represent the position of the royal family. Prussia was also not monolithic, with various forces crisscrossing the interior.

"Well, send a bunch of capitalists in and make trouble, raise a bunch of complicated questions, delay as long as possible, and prevent them from coming to an agreement. Wait until we solve the domestic contradictions, and then look for their bad luck! ”

Franz finally came up with a bad idea, and the Frankfurt conference was full of internal contradictions, and there were constant quarrels every day.

It would have been even more difficult to reach an agreement if the Austrian delegates had deliberately stalled in the past, and the draft constitution was not produced until March 1849.

If you delay a little longer, then it should be enough to deal with internal contradictions. The Austrian government is now much more powerful than it was at the same time in history.

"Your Highness, in fact, we can still fight a war of public opinion with them, it is the bourgeoisie who organized this meeting, and they do not represent the German people.

Now they are just using the resources in their hands to build momentum, and even the so-called representatives are most likely not elected by the people themselves.

We can expose the atrocities of the capitalists and declare to the people that this is a conspiracy of the capitalists to turn everyone into slave workers. Metternich added

Franz smiled slightly, thinking: "It is worthy of being a strongman who has dominated the situation in Europe for more than 30 years, and it is indeed the right choice to make Metternich the foreign minister!" ”

What kind of goods is a capitalist, do you still need to talk about it? There aren't too many black histories, you can collect a lot of them casually.

Expose the black material of the delegates attending the meeting, and keep them infamous.

When the time comes, take out the decisions made at the Frankfurt Conference and expose the sinister intentions of the capitalists, then everything will be different.

Whoever dares to propose the exclusion of Austria from Germany is a sinner who seeks to divide Germany. Whatever one else thinks, those who advocate Greater Germany will certainly think so.

When the two ideas of Great and Small Germany collide, there will be infighting among the capitalists, and even if they are not willing to fight, the representatives of Austria can stir up trouble.

It is possible to create a scandal without a scandal, such as proposing to pass some bills that favor the capitalists, not being afraid that the congress will not pass it, and turning the Frankfurt conference into a joke.

The conference itself was convened against the backdrop of the fact that some state governments were unable to suppress the revolutionary movement in their countries, so they allowed the congress to be convened, mainly for the purpose of diverting attention.

When the revolution was in full swing, a large group of capitalists did not do things at home and went to Frankfurt to hold a conference, which cannot but make people think of it.

Don't look at the fact that their representatives are democratically elected, but in fact it's all.

Having a national election this year is not so simple. Governments that are not fools will stop it, and the vast majority of elections will not be able to go smoothly.

So from the very beginning, this conference had nothing to do with the broad masses of the people, they only represented the interests of the capitalists.

……

Just when everyone was discussing how to disrupt the Frankfurt Conference, a middle-aged officer came in a hurry and said in surprise outside:

"Your Highness, urgent military situation!"

Franz frowned and said, "Bring in the battle report!" ”

Cabinet meetings are not allowed to break in, except in case of an emergency, but Franz is still required to agree.

After receiving the battle report, Franz took a serious look at it, Milan had been lost, the Lombardy region had almost completely fallen, and now the war had burned to the Venice area.

After reading the war report, Franz handed it directly to the prime minister for cabinet members to circulate.

The content of this battle report is very vague, and many things are not explained clearly.

In addition to explaining that the Austrian army lost cities and lost heavy losses under the internal and external attacks of the Italians, he did not even explain the specific losses and the reasons for the defeat.

Franz knew that this was not the style of Marshal Radekis, and even if he lost at the front, he would not be able to write even a battle report.

Under normal circumstances, if you lose a battle, you always have to ask for help. Marshal Radeckis also asked for help in the war report, but there was no request to send reinforcements immediately, which means let the country watch it!

There's only one explanation for what he's planning. In order to keep it secret, many key places have been hidden.

"Your Highness, this battle is not at the right time!" Foreign Secretary Metternich said with a frown

Is it true that the time is it that they are preparing to disrupt the Frankfurt Conference? A defeat that made Austria's prestige drop by a few points.

Even in the diplomatic negotiations with other countries, Austria will be at a disadvantage.

Looking at the map, combined with what happened in history, Franz seemed to understand the plan of Marshal Radekiss.

All European politicians knew that the present situation, both at home and abroad, did not allow Austria to lose on the Italian battlefield.

In this case, Marshal Radkiss did the opposite, luring the enemy into depth, and the military feasibility was very high.
