On 19 March 1848, Frederick Wilhelm IV was forced to announce the abolition of the censorship system and to send a diplomatic note to the German states requesting a joint conference of the states.

On 23 March, Frederick Wilhelm IV announced the annexation of Prussia to Germany.

Metternich's hopes for the establishment of the Triple Alliance between Prussia and Austria were dashed, and Prussia's diplomatic relations with Austria and Russia deteriorated sharply.

If Germany wants to be reunified, Austria is an unavoidable cut, and the core question is who will be the boss?

In terms of strength, Austria seems to be a little stronger than Prussia, but because of domestic problems, it does not have an absolute advantage over Prussia; In terms of influence, Austria far surpassed Prussia.

Historically, the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck discovered this problem early, he first used diplomatic means to isolate Austria, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the Austro-French war to defeat Austria and kick Austria out of Germany.

What Frederick William IV did now undoubtedly exposed Prussia's ambition to unify Germany, which Austria could not tolerate.

Equally unacceptable were the Russians, whose tsarist government did not want to see the unification of Central Europe, which would shake their continental hegemony.

Against this background, Russian-Austrian relations began to warm up, Franz and others received good news, and Tsar Nicholas I openly expressed his willingness to help Austria suppress the Italian revolution.

Although this support was only lip service, Russia would not send troops to fight Austria and the Kingdom of Sardinia, which was enough for Franz.

Since the war against France, there have been two great powers in Europe - Britain and Russia side by side, and with the support of the Russians, it is impossible for the British to support the Kingdom of Sardinia at the risk of a full-scale war.

"Prime Minister, we can close the net." Franz said calmly

"Yes, Your Highness!" Felix replied

……

Prague

"Mr. Wren, hurry, something is wrong!"

"Coulson, slow down, what's going on?" The man in Wren asked with concern

"The Austrian government has decided to execute Vera and them, a total of more than 100 political prisoners, and all of them will be executed in three days!" Coulson said in trepidation

This is definitely the worst outcome, and it is rare for such mass executions of political prisoners to occur in Europe, especially since there are also capitalists and aristocrats among the more than 100 people.

Wren was silent, he wasn't a second-year teenager. It is clearly not normal for the Austrian government to suddenly become tougher.

However, people can't help but save it, otherwise people's hearts will be scattered, and the opponent will not be able to take it.

The revolutionary enthusiasm of the people in the Czech regions was already low, and they had to rely on the capitalists and aristocrats to carry out the revolution, and if they did not take effective measures, it would not be long before these people would defect.

Historically, the Prague uprising broke out and was quickly suppressed, but the local nobles and capitalists found that they had no future with the revolutionary party and sold them.

Mobilize the people to rise up for revolution?

Well, it's okay to think about this kind of thing. The Czech regional revolutionary parties were basically the children of capitalists and the aristocracy, and the worst was the middle class.

They want revolution, in essence, to protect their own rights and interests, sacrificing their own interests to win over the people at the bottom, which does not exist.

Historically, after the suppression of the Prague uprising, it was possible to organize an army in the Czech region to suppress the Hungarian rebellion, and you knew who the people's hearts were.

"How many troops are there in the city?" Wren asked with concern

"I heard that the Italian battlefield is tight, and yesterday another 2,000 people were transferred from here, and the soldiers in the city will not exceed 1,800." The eyed man whispered

"Is the information reliable?" Wren asked with concern

"This is what I heard when I was chatting with friends in the city defense army this morning, it should be reliable, and the movement of the army can't deceive people!" The eyed man explained

"Mr. Rayne, this news should be accurate, I saw an army out of the city yesterday, and now it has not returned!" Coulson added

"Well, let's make preparations at once, and in the evening of two days' time, we will overthrow the decaying Austrian Empire and establish an independent Czech Republic in one fell swoop!" Wren said passionately

"Mr. Wren, how to solve the problem of weapons? We can't rely on these dozens of guns in our hands to overthrow the Austrian government, right? An old man asked

As a conservative in the revolutionary party, he opposed the most extreme armed revolution, and he would not have approved of the uprising had it not been for the Austrian government's murderous spree.

"I can find a way to raise twenty guns from relatives and friends!" The man in glasses spoke

"I can get a dozen guns from home, too!" Coulson thought for a moment and said

In this way, everyone reported the numbers in a rambling manner, and after a while, the weapons and equipment of an infantry battalion came out.

Obviously, the recent policies of the Viennese government were very much displeased with the local aristocracy, otherwise the revolutionaries would not have been able to obtain weapons and equipment.

……

A premeditated rebellion unfolded in such a child's play, in which all the members of the revolutionary party participated voluntarily, without any coercive binding force on each other, relying only on the charisma of the leader.

It is impossible to keep secrets, and the Czech Regional Revolutionary Party was originally a grass-roots group, and those who came from three sects and nine streams did not refuse to come.

These people who participated in the meeting were all of relatively high status and were considered reliable. In fact, after the meeting, the contents of the meeting were compiled and sent to Prince Wendy Schretz that night.

If the rebellion is to be extinguished, the police in the Prague area can do it.

Obviously, this is not what the Viennese government wants, the rebellion has not yet happened, and now the arrest of people is only a small fish and shrimp on the surface.

Leaving behind the culprit, this will pose a serious danger for the future rule of the Czech region.

Prince Wendy Schretz didn't seem to know anything, and even before the outbreak of the revolution, he organized a field drill in which most of the police and military in Prague participated.

On April 12, 1848, taking advantage of the departure of Prince Wendy Schgretz, the Prague Uprising broke out, and with the cooperation of local nobles and capitalists, the city of Prague was taken in one fell swoop.

"Mr. Wren is not good, the arsenal is empty, it is said that the corrupt officials of the government have sold all the ammunition inside, what should I do now?" Coulson said in trepidation

This statement is simply fooling, even if the Austrian government is seriously corrupt, it is impossible to sell all the weapons and ammunition?

"I've been used as a pawn!"

This was his first reaction, this uprising had gone smoothly, and he had taken Prague almost without any resistance, and now if he didn't understand, Wren would be a fool.
