It took a lot of effort for Franz to persuade his mother to get the right to arrange her time freely, but the class was still to be attended, but it was cut a lot.

For example, religion, language, and art classes, which Franz thought were of little use, were all compressed, and if it weren't for Sophie's insistence, he would have even cut out political classes.

The main thing is that the content is still stuck in a hundred years ago, for example: the supremacy of the aristocracy, the sacredness of chivalry......

The imperial scholarship that Franz was most interested in was only a cut version, and all the intrigues and intrigues were gone, leaving the air of a king.

For example, when the emperor's tiger body was shocked, he bowed down and bowed his head.

……

This is cultivating the emperor, not fooling the people?

If an emperor is really cultivated according to this standard, then with the complicated situation in Austria, one more person will be added to the guillotine.

It is now 1846, and if nothing else, in two years Franz will inherit this ancient empire, and now there is not much time left for him.

Politics in advance?

This is obviously impossible, anything that changes the overall situation of history will bring uncertainty to the future, and Franz will not take risks until he succeeds to the throne.

Of course, he can't participate if he wants to, how much power can a 16-year-old kid have in politics?

Even if Franz is the crown prince, it can't change the hard wound of age.

However, this does not prevent him from doing things, and many times it is far better to be behind the scenes than to charge directly in front.

For example, now Franz is going to visit a big man, the Austrian legend - Archduke Karl.

As the most legendary general of the Allied forces in the Anti-French War, he defeated the French army many times, and was promoted to marshal at the age of 25, and was the only general in the Allied army who made Napoleon jealous.

Otherwise, the incompetence of the Vienna government would have broken a good hand, perhaps the war against France would have ended early without waiting for the Russians to come to the rescue, and Austria would not have had to lose the Netherlands.

Such a marshal who is dedicated to the incompetence of the emperor will naturally not have any good results, especially since Grand Duke Karl is still a royal family.

Fortunately, this is the European continent, and the Austrian Emperor Franz I is also the grandfather of the protagonist, and he is not a ruthless lord, this marshal with high achievements has been able to be active until now.

A military strongman is not the same as a political strongman, and after using him to reform the Austrian army, his political opponents resorted to a little trick to make him resign and go home.

From then on, Archduke Karl returned home and devoted himself to the study of military theory, and wrote such military books as "On the Tactics of Generals", "On the Principles of Strategy from the German War Situation in 1796", and "The History of the German and Swiss Wars in 1799".

A generation of military strategists was thus cultivated, and Grand Duke Karl believed that military science consisted of two parts: strategy and tactics.

Strategy is the science of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, and the task is to draw up war plans and determine military operations. Tactics are the art of commanders at all levels, subordinate to the battleside.

Both strategy and tactics are composed of certain rules or principles, and the important principle of military science is that the number of forces and weapons that can be used to achieve a predetermined goal must be correctly calculated, and the force must be commensurate with the purpose.

No matter how many troops are there, they can only have the greatest effect if they are used in a timely manner at the moment of decision.

Therefore, the most effective way to win is to correctly judge the timing and concentrate forces at the moment when the most effective results can be achieved.

Another important point: to form an arrogant advantage over the enemy in a decisive place. The strength of the army refers not only to the number of troops, but also to the morale of the army, the ability of the commander and the terrain conditions.

At the same time, he also divided the types of operations into offensive and defensive, and considered that offensive was more advantageous, and pointed out that defensive operations are meaningful only when they are scheduled to turn into offensive.

He also clearly put forward the concept of reserves, and clearly pointed out that whether it is offensive or defensive, it is necessary to leave reserves all the time in case of unexpected situations on the battlefield.

Archduke Karl believed that commanders were vital to the fate of nations and the lives of millions of people, but commanders were not born, but were made by knowledge and experience.

A true commander-in-chief must profoundly understand the essence of war, conscientiously study the laws of war, and learn and apply his own and others' experiences in practice in order to apply various military principles freely.

If such a genius military strategist does not take advantage of it, he is simply sorry for the reputation of the traverser.

Military reform is not only correct, but also the conservative forces in the military are often more powerful than ordinary people think, and Franz is deeply aware of this.

Any reform will offend interest groups, and a backlash is naturally indispensable.

For example, if Franz proposed the reform of the staff system, it is estimated that everyone would laugh it off, and some people would even point out that the bear child was playing at the same time.

It would be different if the Grand Duke Karl was replaced, whether everyone agreed or not, they had to sit down and think about it.

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke, wait a moment, the master will come out in a while!"

The butler said politely, there was still a little apprehension in his tone, Franz was not an ordinary Grand Duke, was it really good to keep him cold like this?

But for Archduke Karl, these are floating clouds, and when it comes to the generations in the royal family, he is Franz's grandfather.

Putting these aside, with his influence in the Imperial army, Franz had to give him a face, because today Franz came to visit under the pretext of studying military affairs.

"It's okay, I'll just wait here, by the way, make me a pot of tea, I don't want to drink coffee lately!" Franz said with a slight smile

He wasn't angry at all, anyway, this old man was going to get a boxed lunch next year, and there was no need to worry about a dead man.

Time passed in a hurry, more than an hour passed in a flash, and Franz was still there drinking tea and reading the newspaper, without a trace of impatience.

"Little Franz hasn't seen you for a long time, you've grown so tall!"

A hearty voice sounded, and Franz knew that it was Archduke Karl, and no one dared to speak to him like this except him.

"Your Excellency the Marshal, can you remove that little word when you call me, I'm 16 years old!" Franz said helplessly

"Really? My little Franz has grown up, what's the matter with coming to me today? Archduke Karl asked with concern

Franz didn't care about the details of Archduke Karl's words, little Franz is little Franz, who called Archduke Karl the brother of Franz's grandfather?

"Your Excellency Marshal, I have read your military writings, and I have come here to ask for advice!"

"Tell me, there's something you don't understand that I need to explain to you?" Archduke Karl said with a laugh

"It's your concept of commander-in-chief, I found that the Imperial Army did a very short job in this regard, and did not solve this problem substantively!" Franz spoke
