The failure of the strike movement has shaken the prestige of the bourgeois leader Mr. Verres, and many people are skeptical that he can lead everyone to force the government to make concessions.
On the contrary, the bourgeois revolutionary party became active again, and some capitalists changed their positions and secretly colluded with the revolutionary party in an attempt to overthrow the Vienna government and establish a bourgeois regime.
Of course, after thinking about it, it is absolutely impossible for them to raise the banner to rebel. Even if there is a revolution, it can only be done by others. They all have tens of thousands of family wealth, and their little lives are precious
Everyone is smart. The weakness of the Austrian Empire has not yet been exposed. Rebellion at this time will easily become a martyr.
Most capitalists have little confidence in the revolutionary party, and they still rely on non-violent means of struggle to force the government to make concessions.
In the manor on the outskirts of Vienna, a banquet is being held, and Mr. Veris, the host, is giving a passionate speech.
That's right, this is the banquet movement that came from France, but in Austria, it seems a little unacceptable. Apart from the capitalists, only a few scholars who have been crippled by liberalism participated.
"Gentlemen, we must unite. The last time we failed, we were defeated by the enemy one by one because we failed to advance and retreat together!
As long as we unite and stand up to fight, the enemy will eventually be defeated by us, and the victory will ultimately belong to us.
No revolution, no bloodshed, defeat the enemy in what we do best, in what we do best, it's not that hard to do!
if only… "
Not everyone was satisfied with Veris' speech, at least the revolutionaries who came to the banquet were very dissatisfied.
"Mr. Veris, your so-called bloodless struggle can really make the enemy make concessions? Wake up, the rotten Vienna 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: "Who let him in, throw this bastard out to me, he wants to kill everyone!"
Nima, do you really think that the secret police of the Vienna government are eating shit with such a big fanfare for the revolution
Not only was Veris angry, but many 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. If you say it with such a big fanfare, what do you want everyone to do
Support the revolution? It is estimated that he will be imprisoned soon. With so many people coming to the banquet this time, who knows if there are any traitors among them
Opposition, must be opposed, when it comes to their own safety, the capitalists are very cautious, and they have denounced the revolutionary party, as if they are all models of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism.
Vienna is not Paris, everyone's revolutionary enthusiasm is not so high, and the Vienna government is not as unpopular as the July Dynasty, not everyone wants to rebel.
Once disturbed by the revolutionaries, this speech naturally ended hastily, and then it became a secret meeting.
The lethality of the labor protection law is still very large. Even these servants who hold the banquet are one of the beneficiaries. Maybe one of them will sell them when they are hot. Everyone is still very careful.
"Mr. Veris, can we really make the government make concessions by driving up prices? You must know that the aristocrats have a lot of energy. If they stop us, maybe everyone will steal chickens and lose rice!" Ham questioned
The two are business rivals, and everyone sits together because of common interests, but there is no way to eliminate the contradictions between them.
Veris explained: "It is because of the nobles that we will win the final victory. Don't forget that our Prime Minister advocates the abolition of serfdom. The nobles don't want to get rid of him, aren't they afraid that he will pass the Is the legislation mandatory?"
The moderate capitalist Field said, "Mr. Veris is right, Metternich, this old and immortal bastard, has offended many people over the years, and many people want him to step down.
Once this old fox gets out of the way, the new Prime Minister will not have his prestige. If you don't compromise with us, don't think about stabilizing the situation! "
Field and Verris have similar political ideas. They both oppose violent revolution and advocate the use of bloodless means to fight for rights and interests.
This is determined by their interests, as Austria's leading capitalists, they own a large number of industries.
Once a revolution occurs, it will face a new reshuffle of interests. If it fails, it will be lost.
Veris said again: "Mr. Ham, the nobles are not good goods. We can drive up prices, and we can let them participate in it, and everyone can make money together. At that time, for their own interests, they will not stop us. .
No need for much, as long as one fifth of the nobles are on our side, Metternich can do nothing, this time our slogan is to let Metternich step down!
We can postpone the issues of repealing labor protection laws, implementing constitutional government, and popular elections until the next government. "
Having apparently failed once, Verris became more cautious.
The Labor Protection Act was used by conservative aristocrats to attack the bourgeoisie, and it was obvious that concessions would not be made lightly.
Constitutionalism and popular elections, let alone say it, as soon as this slogan is shouted, it will be attacked by the aristocratic group in an all-round way.
On the contrary, only targeting Prime Minister Metternich, it is easier to achieve success. After all, there are many people among the nobles who are against him.
Ham thought for a while and said, "Then I'll trust you again, but what do you think about the revolutionary party that appeared today? Everyone understands, so don't hide it!"
Field sneered and said, "Does it need to be said? Of course, it is necessary to draw a clear line. It's not like you don't know the situation of the French Revolution. Who wants to experience it once?"
Ham sneered: "Mr. Field, this kind of high-sounding statement, forget it!
I know that everyone has to contact them privately, I mean have you thought about increasing your support for them.
Don't ask them to be successful, just contain some of the government's energy? "
Verris said hurriedly: "Mr. Ham, let's stop this joke, I never know any revolutionary party!"
Unlike the daring Ham, Veris is already old, and he no longer wants to take risks with a big family. He secretly provides funds for the activities of the revolutionary party, which is the limit of what he can do.
