Vienna in January 1848 was extraordinarily cold, and the snow and ice had not yet melted.
The cold wind blew his face, Franz shuddered, and the noble officers behind him were even more unbearable, and many people were already shivering.
If Franz hadn't been on the training ground, they would have run back to the house to warm up.
There is no way, the glory of the nobles will not allow them to retreat at this time.
Lieutenant General Albrecht, who was in charge of the training, showed a satisfied smile. He did not expect that Franz would use this method to let these old soldiers participate in the training.
The ice and snow is the most time to hone a person's will. Franz knew that the peaceful days in Austria were coming to an end. Once the March Revolution broke out, where would be the safest
Without a doubt, the barracks!
Whether it is suppressing the rebellion or running away, staying in the army is safer than in the palace.
The group of noble officers behind him are Franz's team. Although it is unreliable to expect them to see it, they must give it a try, right
When you find that your teammates are rotten, don't panic, don't be afraid, in fact, your enemy is even worse!
This is Franz's confidence. No matter how bad the city defense army is, it is also the army, isn't it
The enemy he has to face is not a world power, not even an army. If the enemy can hand a gun, then count him as a loser!
"stand at attention!"
"Everyone runs around the training ground. Those who can't complete the task will have no food this morning!"
Albrecht issued an order coldly, and under the cold wind, many people on the field trembled.
This training ground is not small, it is more than ten kilometers in a circle, it is too embarrassing for these pampered nobles.
Without waiting for them to refuse, Franz had already taken the lead in running ahead, and had no choice but to keep up with his teeth.
Who told their family to boast about Haikou? Franz had entertained the officers long before the training began.
After a few glasses of wine, they all forgot what they were. Without thinking, he agreed to Franz's request.
Well now, accompany the crown prince for training, whoever counsels who is the grandson, for the glory of the nobles, they must persevere.
Otherwise, prepare to be the laughing stock of the aristocratic circle! It’s okay to not keep your promises, but it also depends on who is the target
A lot of people waited for Franz to take it, and they took the opportunity to ask for a lower intensity of training. That is, they can take care of the crown prince's face, and they don't have to suffer.
Obviously, the final result disappointed everyone. Franz's body has been trained since childhood, and he can still run for more than ten kilometers.
The breakfast started. Franz and the noble officers who had already run away ate bread and drank milk, quietly watching the large army that was still advancing at a fast pace.
Seeing someone fainted on the ground and being carried down for treatment, everyone did not forget to point their fingers, as if these people were a disgrace to the nobles, so that the rest did not dare to follow suit easily.
Everyone wants face, and in the eyes of the public, no one wants to admit that they are trash.
Besides, Franz is not looking for everyone. Most of the people who participated in this training were teenagers in their twenties and twenties, and the old fritters were naturally not among them.
From Franz's point of view, these middle-year-olds can still be rescued, and they may become the backbone of the Austrian Empire with a little training.
No matter how old fritters are, no matter how those people are trained, they can’t change the nature of the imperial worms. The stronger the ability, the greater the harm.
Watching the last officer finish running, Franz didn't laugh, but clapped.
"Grand Duke, they behaved so badly, why do you applaud?" An officer next to him asked very cooperatively.
Franz said with conscience: "No, their performance is not bad. Although the process was a little tortuous, they still insisted on completing the task. This is a qualified soldier. Of course, their personal fitness needs to be strengthened!"
After hearing this, everyone's faces turned gloomy, and it was true that they completed the task and did not embarrass themselves.
One by one, they comforted themselves and said, soldiers, take the completion of orders as the first element, why are you afraid of the twists and turns of the process
Franz is not stupid, how could he deliberately attack everyone's morale? Don't look at how bad these nobles are, in fact, their foundation is not bad at all.
He has been receiving military education since he was a child, and he is better than most civilian officers under the influence of hearing and seeing, but he has no one to supervise him, and he has gradually become a dude.
To save the Austrian Empire, we must first save the next generation of the Austrian nobles. Only when these people stand up can the empire really become strong.
In fact, Franz wanted to join the army for a long time, but unfortunately because he was too young, he was not even 18 years old now. If it wasn't for the outbreak of the January Revolution, he would have no reason to convince his family.
Looking at the group of teenagers who are easy to fool in front of him, he knows that the road to training is a long way to go.
Now that the time is too late, it can only be used as soon as possible. It must be a short-term assault to deal with a group of rabble, right
With the "Labor Protection Law" as the foundation, the broad masses of toilers should not be fighting with the government to the death, right
Historically, the March Revolution in Vienna could be disintegrated by political means. After the May Revolution broke out, the government was unable to control the situation and made a strategic transition.
"gather!"
Albrecht's solemn voice sounded, and the resting officers, dragging their tired bodies, slowly lined up in line.
Looking at Albrecht's livid face, Franz knew that the general felt ashamed of his subordinates.
The queue was neat, but with that mental outlook, Franz recalled the time when the military training in the university was like eggplants hit by frost.
Suddenly Albrecht smiled slightly, and Franz knew that someone was going to have bad luck.
I saw Albrecht holding the baton and walking down from above, and a scream came from behind.
Franz looked back habitually, and saw a fat man lying on the ground in a very comical manner. If you look closely, you will find that there is a footprint behind his ass.
"Look at what!"
Albrecht's icy voice sounded, and everyone quickly retracted their gazes. This time everyone needs to be more energetic. With one chicken, no one wants to be the second one.
Even so, there were screams from time to time, and Albrecht waved the baton, and when he saw the non-standard, he came at once to help correct the mistake.
There is no way, the noble officers are all old soldiers, except for Albrecht, who is a high-ranking coach, other instructors have no courage to touch them.
Now is a rare opportunity. If you miss this time, it is not easy to find their people in the military camp.
