Clear water, blue sky and green grassland, a hundred flowers compete for Vienna.

Vienna in May is a world of flowers, and the streets and alleys are always full of flowers, and it seems that Viennese people are particularly fond of planting flowers.

Schönbrunn Palace is full of flowers, adding a different style to the refreshing May.

Reading, flower appreciation, making tea, and concerts are all Franz's hobbies, and if there are no two little Loli to follow, it is actually good to enjoy dancing, especially the kind with long legs.

Definitely just an artistic appreciation, Franz's private life was very decent. Never fooling around with wealthy ladies, without any bad habits, not even lovers, can be called a moral model among nobles.

If it weren't for the fact that he hugged the two little Lori, then it would be even more able to prove it.

Aristocrats, it's normal to have a chaotic private life. Life is so tiring, you have to intrigue every day, and you need to relax your mood properly.

Franz is already very disciplined, at least he hasn't created any court scandals, just fooled two little Lori, which is not worth mentioning at all.

The court rules of the Habsburg Dynasty are still very strict, and the two little Lori, who received court education together, are deeply touched.

Although the princesses are not as demanding as the princes, they still learn too much compared to ordinary people.

Princess Helen was okay, she quickly adapted to it and was able to enjoy it. Princess Sissi was miserable, and her happy childhood life was goodbye. This is undoubtedly shocking news for a young girl who longs for freedom.

Play truant? If a school has 180 students, it doesn't matter if one student skips class; If you are the only student, if you skip class, then the teachers are not allowed to take a collective vacation? Besides, in the palace, the security is heavy, where can you run to?

Although the court life is comfortable, it is not free? This is undoubtedly a kind of torture for Princess Sissi.

Her arms could not reach her thighs, and whether she wanted to study or not, her mother, Princess Ludvika, had already made the decisions for her.

If it weren't for the family's poor financial situation, Princess Sissi would have received these educations a long time ago. These court etiquette lessons are the basic knowledge that nobles must master.

Princess Helen and Franz are together, which was arranged by the Queen Mother Sufi, and it is called cultivating feelings in advance. Princess Sissi joined, that is, simply to skip class.

The world is so magical, and the fates of three people are mixed together. It's hard to say what happened later.,In short, Franz hooked up with two little Lori's at once.。

Of course, in this era, their age is not too young. Princess Helen is almost 18 years old, and Princess Sissi is also 15 years old, and she has reached the age of talking about marriage.

Their mother, Princess Ludvika, was happy to see it happen. The asymmetry of status, in order to facilitate this marriage, something else happens is too common in the royal family.

As for the Queen Mother Sophie, it doesn't matter even more, the son is her own, and the niece is someone else's. As long as she doesn't make a royal scandal about being pregnant out of wedlock, she won't care so much.

Of course, Franz will not admit his evil thoughts, in a big way, this is to confuse the enemy and make the Kingdom of Bavaria let down its vigilance, after all, the royal families of the two countries are going to marry, so there is no need to worry?

In a small way, he is saving underage girls. The origins of the Bavarian royal family determined that their marriages would be used for marriage. With the character of Princess Sissi, she decided that marrying anyone would not end well.

Freedom, too much luxury for the great nobles, from the moment of birth, they were burdened with burden-bearing responsibilities.

The 19th century was the last glory of the aristocracy, and at this time the wise knew that danger was approaching. One wrong step, and an ancient family is about to come to an end.

If you don't take a firm stance and are easily influenced by others to participate in politics, then the final result can only end in tragedy.

If you add one more reluctance to have children, it is estimated that no family can accept it. Love will always be worn out in the face of reality, what does it depend on to maintain the appearance of aging?

……

Prime Minister Felix said: "Your Majesty, the battle of Bulgaria has ended, and the final result was not unexpected, the Russians defeated the Ottomans.

However, the French showed surprise this time, and they actually threw reinforcements into the Balkans so quickly, and it seems that Napoleon III has stabilized the country. ”

It is normal for the Russian army to be able to defeat the Ottoman army, although the Russian army is a rabble, it is also a brave rabble, and against the Ottoman army, which is also a rabble, it is naturally the upper hand in the big war.

In terms of weapons and equipment, Russia and the Ottomans are bad brothers, and everyone is the same backward. Whose weapons and equipment are more backward depends on the discipline of the bureaucrats.

The efficiency of the French government proves once again that it is much more efficient for one person to make decisions than for hundreds of people to make decisions together.

The fact that the French had sent their troops to the battlefield had just persuaded the Parliament to send troops to the London government was enough to show that Napoleon III's control over the French government had reached the point of being decisive.

But these are all minor problems, Franz does not care about the domestic affairs of the French, and he has no way to intervene anyway.

"How is the combat effectiveness of the French army? Is there anything that needs special attention? Franz asked with concern

Marshal Radesky analyzed: "Your Majesty, the combat effectiveness of this French expeditionary force is still good. According to the information we have gathered, it can be determined that these 50,000 French troops are the most elite units in the French army.

It seems that Napoleon III made a bloody effort in order to make a good shot.

However, he should feel the pain now, although the French army played a higher exchange ratio on the battlefield, but it was also more than worth the loss for them.

In the Battle of Razgrad, the French lost almost one division of elite troops, which were not so easy to replenish.

Elite troops are not so easy to train, and there are very few units in the French Army that have this combat effectiveness, and now they are consumed on inconsequential battlefields.

Not to mention a casualty ratio of 1:1.3 with the Russians, even if it was a 1:3 exchange ratio, the French suffered a big loss.

If the French army had not blindly entered the battle and fought the Russians without adapting to the environment, their results would have been even more brilliant.

In a frontal battlefield duel, 50,000 such elite divisions are enough to defeat 100,000 Russian troops.

If this French army could arrive half a month ahead of schedule and be used as the main force in this general battle, the outcome of this battle would probably have changed. ”

Franz nodded noncommittally, these French troops are indeed elite divisions, and the heavy losses now obviously weaken the combat effectiveness of the French army.

But to say that Napoleon was in pain, it is not necessarily. These elite divisions were accumulated by the July Dynasty and were also loyal supporters of the July Dynasty.

Had it not been for King Louis-Philippe's constant tricks and failure to mobilize these troops in the first place, it would have been easy to suppress the rebellion with these troops.

For the country of France, these forces were the most important national defense forces, but for Napoleon III personally, they were a hidden danger.

Wasting these troops on the battlefield for the sake of their own interests was probably also the established strategy of Napoleon III.

The current situation is fully in the interests of Napoleon III.

The French army on the front line, in a disadvantageous situation, was still able to play a high exchange ratio, which added a lot of points to him politically.

Through this war, these troops have been seriously reduced, and in order to regain their combat effectiveness, it is necessary to replenish new troops.

As long as he took advantage of this opportunity, Napoleon III could support his younger brother to ascend to the throne and slowly take control of this army.

As for the problem of the decline in combat effectiveness, it is not worth mentioning at all in the face of loyalty. If the location had changed, Franz would have probably made the same decision.

Metternich asked tentatively: "Your Excellency Marshal, if we find a way to wipe out these troops, how much impact will it have on the military power of the French?" ”

Marshal Radesky pondered for a moment, and then gave the answer: "These units occupy about two tiers of the current military strength of the French.

However, this does not mean that these tens of thousands of French troops are the military strength of the French at two levels, and they can still carry out national mobilization, but the combat effectiveness of the newly mobilized troops is very low. ”

France is not a small country, and its own military power is not weak. It is already very rare to be able to weaken the enemy's strength so much in a short period of time.

Metternich shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then this matter is not worth our involvement. It's better to leave this enemy to the Russians, presumably they will like it.

At present, there are only more than 36,000 people left in this French expeditionary force with combat effectiveness, and if it fights the Russians a few more times, it will almost be lost. ”

The forces that the French threw into the Balkans were too small to be harmless, and even if they were completely annihilated, they would not be greatly demoralized.

At this time, Austria's best choice was not to let the Russians eat the elite of the French army in one go, but to use this as an introduction to encourage Britain and France to continuously invest their troops in this war.

A major defeat is likely to cause Britain and France to stop, and it will be impossible to use the Near East war to deplete the strength of Britain, France and Russia.

Napoleon III could borrow the sword of the Russians to purge dissidents, and Austria could follow suit. It is a good choice to use the power of the Russians to fight Britain and France, and then use the power of Britain and France to fight the Russians.
