"What? Franz, do you want to serve in the army? No, you have to stay at home and study honestly for me!" Madame Sophie said angrily
That expression is like saying, your kid actually wants to find an excuse to skip class, it's simply out of order!
Franz explained: "Dear Mrs. Sophie, this is not a service, I just entered the military for three months."
"Is it necessary to experience it for three months? In half a year, you will officially enter the army. Do you need to experience it?" Madam Sophie asked.
Franz knew that it would be impossible not to explain clearly. If there was no suitable reason, the mother would not agree. As for the father's attitude, when will it be their turn to call the shots
"Isn't this a revolution in Sicily? Through the analysis of the intelligence I collected, the European continent will enter a period of high revolution in the future.
In order to prevent unexpected events, I must cultivate my military literacy, so as not to be caught off guard! ' explained Franz
"You said there might be a revolution in Austria?" Madame Sophie said gloomily
Franz nodded and said: "Yes! The domestic economic situation is very bad. The struggle between the nobles and the capitalists is very fierce. If the economy cannot improve in a short time, the contradictions may intensify!"
Looking at Franz's serious analysis, Mrs. Sophie looked a little solemn and a little nervous, what a terrible term revolution is.
"These words, you should tell the government. As long as they are prepared in advance, the power of the capitalists is not worth mentioning at all!" Mrs. Sophie thought for a while and said
Looking at Mrs. Sophie's expression, Franz knew that she was only half-believing, and immediately added:
"No, no one can talk about this issue. We'd better know before it happens. Now that the struggle between the nobility and the bourgeoisie has heated up, it's easy for us to get burned when we join in!"
Politics is always dark, and Franz is the one who wants to be the emperor. You can encourage it behind your back, go into battle naked, or leave it to someone else to do it!
Looking at Franz, Mrs. Sophie's expression changed, and she said in disbelief, "Are you planning to use this opportunity to seize power?"
Franz knew that Mrs. Sophie was tempted, and no one wanted to put their fate in the hands of others. The Council of Regency had held the Austrian regime for more than ten years.
For such a long time, it was enough to make the Vienna court feel uneasy. Even the occasionally normal Ferdinand I knew that this situation was not good for the royal family, let alone her
Living in the palace since childhood, even the dullest person has higher political sensitivity than ordinary people.
Historically, why the Vienna court wanted Metternich to get out of the way, in addition to dissatisfaction with his political reforms, was more out of concern for the powerful ministers.
Franz analyzed patiently: "It depends on the specific situation. Judging from the current situation, the current situation is very unfavorable for the government.
The bourgeoisie wanted Prime Minister Metternich to get out of the way and replace him with a weak government; the nobles were equally upset with him and were going to replace him.
Under such circumstances, whether Prime Minister Metternich can withstand this wave of political crises is saying that the energy of the high-level people has been involved in the political struggle. Who cares about the lives of the people at the bottom
You must know that once people are hungry, they can do anything. There have been starvation riots in France, and the situation in Austria is similar. If the economy does not improve, the riots are the least.
Not long ago, at a banquet held by the capitalists, a revolutionary party appeared, publicly proclaiming revolutionary ideas, but the police failed to catch anyone.
We have enough reasons to believe that the revolutionaries have already caught up with the capitalists, and how far the cooperation between the two parties has progressed, we don't know! "
After a moment of silence, Madame Sophie digested what Franz had just said, looked around, and asked, "Does the Vienna government know? I mean the Council of Regents!"
"It should be known that there are so many people attending the banquet, I can receive the news, there is no reason why they can't receive it!" Franz said calmly
Mrs. Sophie looked at Franz carefully, as if she no longer knew him, and is now getting to know him again.
That's right, Franz's performance today was far beyond Madam Sophie's expectations. These words are not something a seventeen-year-old boy can say, but more like a politician who has experienced vicissitudes of life to analyze the problem.
After a while, Mrs. Sophie asked, "Franz, when did you come to this conclusion, and when did you start preparing?"
Before Franz could answer, Mrs. Sophie said, "These situations seem to have always been under your control, right? From the beginning of provoking the conflict between the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie, to planning for the aftermath, aren't you afraid of playing down? Is it?"
fear! Yes, in Madame Sophie's eyes, Franz saw fear.
Anyone who finds out that a young man has made so many layouts in order to seize power and toyed with a group of politicians will be terrified!
Franz explained solemnly: "Dear Mrs. Sophie, this is the only way for an emperor. From the moment I was born, my life was destined to be extraordinary.
As for the layout you mentioned, I just followed the trend. From the beginning to the end, these things have nothing to do with me. No matter how the situation develops, I am an outsider!
The Austrian Empire was sick, and ninety-nine percent of the people in this ancient empire were struggling to survive.
There are even millions of people who can't even fill their stomachs. Such a country only needs a Mars, and it will explode!
Faced with such a situation, what choice would you make in my position? "
Mrs. Sophie asked with a pale face: "But, you can't play with fire? Why do you need to be in such a hurry, it's not too late to solve these problems after you take the throne!"
Franz looked at Madame Sophie with a worried expression, and his heart trembled. He quickly recovered, shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid there will be no such time. Even if I don't intervene, the domestic political struggle will not end. When Prime Minister Metternich steps down, there will be no second person in Austria who has the ability to be this wall slayer!"
In a panic, Mrs. Sophie said something she didn't believe: "Then you can also support Prime Minister Metternich!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately regretted it. She wanted Prime Minister Metternich to get out, so how could she ask Franz to support him
Even in private, the relationship between the two of them is still very good, and they are also evaluated as good teachers and friends in history books.
But political struggle is not about love!
