The failure of the strike shook the prestige of the bourgeois leader, Mr. Verres, and many were skeptical that he would be able to lead the people to force the government to make concessions.

On the contrary, the bourgeois revolutionary party was active again, and some capitalists changed their position and secretly colluded with the revolutionary party in an attempt to overthrow the Vienna government and establish a bourgeois regime.

Of course, if you want to think about it, let them raise the banner of rebellion, that is absolutely impossible. Even if they want a revolution, it can only be someone else, they all have thousands of family fortunes, and their lives are precious?

Everyone is a smart man, the weakness of the Austrian Empire has not yet been exposed, and rebellion at this time can easily become a martyr.

Most of the capitalists had little confidence in the revolutionary party, and they still relied on non-violent means of struggle to force the government to make concessions.

In the manor house on the outskirts of Vienna, a banquet is being held, and Mr. Verres, as the host, is giving an impassioned speech.

Yes, this is the banquet movement that came from France, but in Austria, it seems that there is some adaptation, except for the capitalists, only a few scholars who have been fooled and lame by liberalism participate.

"Gentlemen, we must unite, the last time we failed, it was because we did not advance and retreat together, that we were defeated by the enemy one by one!

As long as we unite and fight hard, the enemy will eventually be defeated by us, and victory will ultimately be ours.

There is no need for revolution, there is no need for bloodshed, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy with the means we do best, in the field we do best!

Just ......"

Not everyone was satisfied with Verres's speech, at least not with the revolutionaries who came to the banquet.

"Mr. Verres, can you really make the enemy give in to your so-called bloodless struggle? Wake up, the rotten Viennese government will not hear the voice of the people, and true freedom can only be achieved by revolution......"

Before he could finish speaking, Veris roared angrily: "Whoever let him in, throw this bastard out of me, he wants to kill everyone!" ”

Nima, shouting about revolution with such fanfare, really think that the secret police of the Vienna government eat?

Not only Veris was angry, but many of the capitalists who came to the banquet were also angry. Even if you want a revolution, you have to say it in private, we can secretly support you, and if you say it with such fanfare, what do you want everyone to do?

Support the revolution? It is estimated that he will be imprisoned soon, and there are so many people who come to the banquet this time, who knows if there are any traitors among them?

Oppose, must be opposed, when it comes to their own security, the capitalists are very cautious, and they denounce the revolutionary party as if they were all models of loyalty and patriotism.

Vienna is not Paris, the revolutionary enthusiasm is not so high, the Viennese government is not as unpopular as the July Dynasty, not everyone wants to rebel.

Stirred up by the revolutionaries, the speech was naturally hastily ended, and then it became a secret meeting.

The lethality of the labor protection law is still very great, and even these servants who hold the banquet are one of the beneficiaries, maybe one of them will sell them as soon as his head is hot, and everyone is still very careful.

"Mr. Verres, can we really make the government back down by raising prices? You must know that the energy of the nobles is not small, if they start to stop us, we will not be able to steal chickens and eat rice! Big capitalist Ham questioned

The two are business competitors, because they sit together because of common interests, but there is no way to eliminate the contradictions between them.

Veris explained: "It is because of the nobility that we will achieve the final victory. Don't forget that our Prime Minister is in favor of the abolition of serfdom, and the nobles don't want to get rid of him, aren't they afraid that he will pass legislation to enforce it, as he did this time? ”

Field, a moderate capitalist, chimed in: "Mr. Verris is right, Metternich, an old and immortal bastard, has offended a lot of people over the years, and many people want him to step down.

Once this old fox is gone, the new prime minister will not have his prestige, and if he does not compromise with us, he will not want to stabilize the situation! ”

Field and Veres share similar political ideas, both oppose violent revolution and advocate bloodless struggle for rights.

This was determined by their interests, and as one of the leading capitalists in Austria, they owned a large number of industries.

Once there is a revolution, there will be a new reshuffle of interests, and if it fails, it will be lost.

Vereth spoke again: "Mr. Ham, the nobles are not good goods, we raise the price, we can let them also participate, everyone makes money together, and when the time comes, they will not stop us for their own interests."

It doesn't take much, as long as a fifth of the nobility is on our side, Metternich can't do anything, and this time our slogan is to get Metternich out of power!

We can postpone the repeal of labor protection laws, the implementation of constitutionalism, and the issue of universal elections until the next government. ”

Apparently failing once, Veris became more cautious.

The Labor Protection Act was used by the conservative aristocracy to fight the bourgeoisie, and it was clear that it would not make concessions easily.

Constitutionalism and popular elections, not to mention, as soon as this slogan is shouted, it will be attacked by the aristocratic clique.

On the contrary, it is easier to succeed only against Prime Minister Metternich, after all, there are many people among the nobility who oppose him.

Ham thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll believe you again, but what do you think of the revolutionary party that has emerged today?" Everyone understands people, no need to hide and pinch! ”

Field sneered and said, "Do you need to talk about this?" Of course, the line is to be drawn, and you don't know the situation of the French Revolution, who wants to experience it once? ”

Ham sneered: "Mr. Field, this high-sounding statement, forget it!

I know that people have to reach out to them privately, and I mean have you ever thought about increasing your support for them.

If they don't want to succeed, they just need to contain some of the government's energy? ”

Veres hurriedly said: "Mr. Ham, this joke should stop here, I have never known any revolutionaries!" ”

Unlike the audacious Ham, Veris is already old, and he doesn't want to take any more risks anymore, and secretly provides funds for the activities of the revolutionary party, which is already the limit of what he can do.
