"His Royal Highness, in view of the current domestic situation, I propose to immediately double the size of the Vienna City Defense Forces, and to form a counter-insurgency army of 200,000 people to suppress the domestic rebellion!" Prime Minister Felix said murderously
On the point of suppressing the rebellion, everyone's position is the same, and no aristocrat likes the revolutionary party.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister's proposal is very good, the city defense army is being replenished, and the trash who did nothing in the Vienna Rebellion, I think they should be ordered to retire!
It is urgent to form a counter-insurgency army. Lieutenant General Albrecht did a good job in suppressing the Vienna rebellion. I think he will be responsible for it! "
Franz did not hesitate to entrain the private goods. Not only did he take the opportunity to clean up the moths in the city defense army and replace them with his own people, he also extended his hand to the soon-to-be-formed counter-insurgency army.
"His Royal Highness, it is very important to set up a major army to suppress the rebellion. I am afraid that Lieutenant General Albrecht will be too busy. It is better to let Marshal Radesky and Prince Wendischgritz come back to preside over the overall situation." Felix argued.
(Remarks: Marshal Radsky and Prince Wendischgritz saved the Austrian three patriarchs, the former suppressed the Italian rebellion, the latter suppressed the Prague rebellion and the Vienna rebellion)
These two are big bosses in the Austrian army. If they come back, Albrecht will have to stand aside. Prince Wendischgritz is Felix's brother-in-law, and he will not be allowed to come back.
However, this did not stop Franz, and he said casually: "These two are indeed the best candidates, but unfortunately, a rebellion has broken out in Lombardy. We transfer Marshal Radsky at this time, who will be in charge of countering the rebellion. Woolen cloth
In my opinion, Marshal Radkis is still appointed as the governor of Lombardy and Venice, and he is solely responsible for presiding over the counter-insurgency work in the Italian region.
Then mobilize 50,000 troops from Austria to reinforce the Italian region, and strive to suppress this rebellion in the shortest possible time.
And now Bohemia (Czech Republic) is also unstable. We have transferred Prince Windischgritz. Who is responsible for suppressing a possible rebellion? "
The frontline needs them to command the suppression of the rebellion. This is a very strong reason. Since Franz proposed it, no one dares to change people easily. Otherwise, if there is a problem on the frontline, they must be held responsible.
Austria is still the Austria of the Habsburg family. Even Prime Minister Felix is very strong. Facing Franz's insistence, he can only make concessions.
The political struggle is very complicated, and today's concessions mean that in the years ahead, the Austrian government will have Franz as the core and the cabinet in a secondary position.
Seeing that there was no objection from the crowd, Franz said again: "Considering the special situation in Hungary, we must also take action.
I propose to make Josip Jelacic a high-ranking Croatian officer and commander of the City Defense Forces at the same time;
(Josip Jelacic rescued one of the three Austrian patriarchs, the main achievement stabilized Croatia, participated in the suppression of the Vienna rebellion and the Hungarian rebellion)
Appoint Julius Jakob von Heinau as a high-ranking official in the Slovak region and commander of the city defense, preparing to suppress the Hungarian rebellion. "
(Note: Austrian Field Marshal Julius Jacob von Heinau, famous for his brutal suppression of Italian and Hungarian rebellions, became known as: Arad Executioner, Brescia's Hyena, and Habsburg Tiger.)
Franz's plan is very simple. It is to activate the heroes of Austria's suppression of rebellions in history in advance, and those who have failed will not have to give their heads to the enemy.
"His Royal Highness, the rebellion in Hungary has not yet occurred, we will do this, I am afraid it will cause great adverse effects!" Felix thought for a while and said
He did not expect that the Vienna government was still negotiating with the Hungarians at this time, and the crown prince was directly preparing to suppress the rebellion, which was completely sabotaging the negotiation.
However, once the Hungarians actually rebelled, these arrangements were very useful. Croatia and Slovakia were the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary in this era, but the people on it tended to be Austrian.
Controlling these two places in advance is very useful for suppressing the Hungarian rebellion. Historically, the Croatian province has taken out 40,000 troops to suppress the Hungarian rebellion.
Franz shook his head.
In the past so many years, the Vienna government has made concessions to them many times. If such concessions continue, it is better to let them be independent! "
This is not nonsense. Now Hungary is nominally part of the Austrian Empire, but the taxation in Hungary has nothing to do with the central government of Vienna. Even between Austria and Hungary, there are still tariffs.
But they still keep claiming that Austria is oppressing and exploiting Hungary, which is completely nonsense in Franz's view.
The Vienna government has obtained certain benefits from Hungary, but Austria has protected the security of Hungary, so there is no need to charge protection fees
If you leave Austria, Hungary will either be annexed by the Russians or by the Ottomans, and the end result will only be worse than it is now.
On the surface, Austria's industry is more developed, while Hungary mainly develops agriculture and becomes a market for Austrian commodities.
But in fact, in this era, the weak eat the strong. As a weak person, you cannot ask too much from the strong. Even for ordinary Hungarian people, the Habsburg family is still the defender of their interests.
Under the current system, only Hungarian capitalists and aristocrats are really hurting their interests, and it is only the capitalists and aristocrats who want to make trouble.
After the Great Revolution, someone once commented that in the Kingdom of Hungary with more than 10 million people, the Hungarian nation has only 500,000 people.
In fact, it is the 500,000 capitalists and nobles who are really exploiting and oppressing the Hungarians. Now Franz is going to kill these assholes and distribute their land to the Hungarian people.
Therefore, this time it is not to suppress the revolution, but to bring revolution to the Kingdom of Hungary, a revolution that truly liberates the more than 10 million ordinary Hungarian people.
There will be bread, and there will be milk. In this respect, Franz considers himself a sacred cause.
"Your Highness can't say that. Hungary is our granary. As an indispensable part of the empire's holiness, we must not let them be independent!" Felix said solemnly.
Franz smiled and said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, don't be so nervous, I just stated the fact that the Hungarians can reform if they want, but all this must be based on the premise of integrating into Austria.
Just wanting to get benefits, but not intending to pay the price, how can there be such a good thing in the world? Instead of wrangling with them every day, it's better to solve it all at once! "
