In the Bolton Manor in Vienna, a dozen well-dressed bigwigs gathered together. Although they have tried their best to control it, they still can't hide the temperament of the upstart.
A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes asked hesitantly: "Mr. Owen, can these muddy legs do it? Even if we get them weapons, a mob of rabble won't be able to make a difference?"
The atmosphere in the room was a little dull. The graceful man sitting in the main seat slowly stood up, smiled slightly, and said slowly:
"Mr. Love, of course they can't rely on them alone! However, it's not just us who want revolution in Austria at this time!
How much damage did the economic crisis do to Austria? Everyone feels it, right
It can be said that the eighth-tier capitalists in Austria suffered heavy losses, and hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs as a result.
The Vienna government has not acted. If everyone wants to live, is there any other choice than revolution? "
This is the crux of the problem. By this time, most capitalists have been cornered, but many people do not realize it.
Now many capitalists in Austria have hoarded a large amount of goods. If they can't release them in a short time, the capital chain will be broken.
The question now is who can you sell to
Ordinary people can't afford it. At this time in Austria, there are too few people with purchasing power.
People in the bank have never been good at speaking. As vampires in the upper stage of the bourgeoisie, they have always been the masters of eating people and not spitting bones.
If the capitalists do not want to end, breaking the existing order and cutting the aristocratic flesh to survive the crisis is the only choice.
There are also a large number of unemployed workers who are also facing this problem. They may not want to rebel, but their stomachs cannot deceive people.
People will lose their minds when they are hungry. As long as someone stirs up, a revolution can break out in minutes.
Compared with history, the social contradictions in Austria during this period have changed. It is not the revolution that was initiated by the unsuccessful demands of the government to reform, but the reality is forced to revolution.
An old man in his 50s or 60s shook his head and said, "Mr. Owen, we used mud legs to revolt. What if they want to establish a proletarian government and give us to the revolution together?"
This is also a problem that all capitalists are worried about. In this era, the ideas of the proletariat have begun to sprout. Once the proletariat is allowed to establish a government, it will kill them.
Owen said with a smile: "This problem is very simple. Our French colleagues have helped us solve this problem. After the success of the revolution, as long as we seize the power as soon as possible, there will be no problem.
At present, there are nearly 120,000 workers in Vienna. Under our deliberate control, the guild organization has been divided into hundreds of large and small groups according to industries and factories.
As long as they are not united, the new government established will inevitably be led by us. Don't you think that some of the mud legs can organize them? "
Get organized? In this era of communication relying on roars, it is estimated that whether the members of various trade unions know each other is a problem.
Most of these trade union organizations are spontaneous and have no mandatory binding force on their members. It is not known how many nails of capitalists are buried in them.
Before the October Revolution in Russia, the fighting power of trade union organizations was very limited, and a large part of them were secretly controlled by capitalists.
Organizing all the workers is not something that can be done overnight. As long as they preemptively establish a government and take control of state power, the overall situation is settled.
This can be seen from the February Revolution in France. After the victory of the revolution, the capitalists scrambled to seize power. The first thing they did was not to pursue the troubles of the previous government, but to suppress the working class who participated in the revolution together.
In the eyes of capitalists, they have long known what integrity is.
…
In the middle of the night, the Vienna government was brightly lit, and Prime Minister Metternich was worrying about the current situation. At this time, at least one interest group must make sacrifices.
It is a difficult choice to decide whether to target the capitalists, the nobles, or the common people.
Prime Minister Metternich has dominated the Austrian political situation for more than 20 years, and he is inevitably bound by the rules, otherwise he will not have a headache.
The Paris Revolution broke out, and Austria was also surging. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Metternich's concept was still ten years ago, and he believed that a conservative Austria was different from an open France.
He did not think Vienna would be in any danger, except in Italy and Galicia. In his opinion, even if a revolution is going to break out, it will break out elsewhere, such as Hungary.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, judging from the current situation, the opposition will not make concessions this time, and they will probably plan a large-scale parade!" Grand Duke Louis said gloomily.
If only Prime Minister Metternich was to step down, he would vote in favor. But it's fucking bullshit to have the Council of Regents get out of the way and hand over power to a constitutionally reformed parliament.
No matter how upset Metternich was, Grand Duke Louis had to stand with him at this time, and everyone's political life was bound to be bound.
Prime Minister Metternich sighed, and then said slowly: "Yes, unless we fully accept their conditions, they will not give up, and now the enemy is probably still continuing to connect, tomorrow I will meet To a larger-scale parade confrontation!
Unless we strike first, arrest the leader of this incident, order the garrison to enter the city, block all intersections, and prohibit them from connecting together! "
He is old and has lost the courage he had when he was young, otherwise he would not hesitate now, and he would have ordered the arrest a long time ago.
"Then arrest people first. If we let them mess around like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to control the situation behind us!" Grand Duke Louis said without hesitation.
Anyway, this order has to be given by the Prime Minister, except that Metternich is the culprit, and he does not need to be responsible for it.
Metternich said with a wry smile: "This is only a temporary solution, if the domestic economy cannot improve, today's events will continue to happen.
Everyone, please abolish serfdom. At this time, we need to create a market. Even if this market is only on paper, we must restore confidence in the market! "
Indeed, the announcement of the abolition of serfdom across the country at this time can restore the confidence of many people. After all, they can increase their purchasing power by more than 20 million at one time, even though their purchasing power is very small.
