Chapter 51: What is the importance of political and military?

Views:

"Or we will also convene a German regional federal parliament and invite governments from all over the world to participate in discussing the issue of German regional integration.

I believe that the influence of government-level meetings is definitely not comparable to a group of capitalists! ' suggested Archduke Louis

"But such a conference cannot produce results. The interests of different countries are different, and it is almost impossible to reach an agreement!" Prime Minister Felix said with a frown.

There is another way, which everyone very tacitly did not mention, that is, to exert diplomatic pressure and forcibly dissolve the parliament of the capitalists.

The probability of success is too low. Now many states in the German region are in a revolution, and the Frankfurt region has actually been controlled by the capitalists, unless the army is sent over.

This is obviously impossible. If he has this energy, Franz might as well suppress the domestic rebellion and restore the national strength.

"We can contact the various states in the German region and directly declare the Frankfurt Conference illegal and refuse to recognize any agreement they reached!" Metternich thought for a while and said

Historically, Austria has done the same, but it was the Frankfurt Conference in 1849 that formulated a constitution, which made various monarchies avoid it, and finally Austria, Prussia, Bavaria and other countries denied their legitimacy.

However, there were still 29 German states that were forced to accept this constitution due to domestic public opinion, which was the legal basis for Prussia to unify Germany later.

This is not contradictory, although there is a Prussian shadow behind the meeting, it does not represent the position of the royal family. Prussia is not monolithic, with various forces crisscrossing it.

"Well, send a group of capitalists in to make trouble, ask a bunch of complicated questions, delay as long as possible, and prevent them from reaching an agreement. After we resolve the domestic conflicts, we will seek their bad luck!"

Franz finally came up with a bad idea. Originally, this Frankfurt meeting was full of internal contradictions, and there were non-stop quarrels every day.

If the Austrian representative had deliberately delayed in the past, it would have been even more difficult to reach an agreement. Historically, the draft constitution was only presented in March 1849.

Procrastinating a little further, then dealing with internal conflicts should be enough. The strength in the hands of the Austrian government now is much stronger than it was at the same time in history.

"His Royal Highness, in fact, we can still fight with them in a public opinion war. It is the bourgeoisie who organized this meeting, and they cannot represent the German people.

Now they are just using the resources in their hands to build momentum, and most of the so-called representatives are not personally elected by the people.

We can expose the atrocities of the capitalists and declare to the people that this is a conspiracy of the capitalists to turn everyone into slave workers. ' Metternich added

Franz smiled slightly and thought to himself, "As expected of a strongman who has dominated the European situation for more than 30 years, making Metternich the Minister of Foreign Affairs is indeed a correct choice!"

What is a capitalist, do you still need to say it? Don't have too many black histories, you can collect a lot of them casually.

Explode the black material of the delegates participating in the conference, and keep them infamous.

At that time, the decision made by the Frankfurt Conference will be taken out to scoff at, and the sinister intentions of the capitalists will be exposed, and then everything will be different.

Anyone who dares to propose the exclusion of Austria from Germany is a criminal who attempts to divide Germany. No matter what others think, those who advocate the Greater Germany will certainly think so.

When the two ideas of Germany and Germany collide, there will be infighting among the capitalists. Even if they are unwilling to fight, the representative of Austria can provoke trouble

Scandals can be created without scandals. For example, by proposing to pass some bills that are biased towards capitalists, it is enough to turn the Frankfurt meeting into a joke without fear that the General Assembly will fail.

The background of the times for the convening of this conference itself is that some state governments were unable to suppress the domestic revolutionary movement, so they allowed the convening of the conference to be held, and the main purpose was to divert attention.

When the revolution was in full swing, a large group of capitalists did not engage in domestic affairs and went to Frankfurt to hold a meeting, which has to be reminiscent.

Don't think that their representatives are democratically elected on the surface, but in fact they are all nonsense.

Holding a general election this year is not that simple. As long as the governments of various countries are not fools, they will block them, and most elections cannot be carried out smoothly.

So from the beginning, this meeting had nothing to do with the general public, they just represented the interests of the capitalists.

Just when everyone was discussing how to disrupt the Frankfurt meeting, a middle-aged officer came in a hurry, and said in surprise outside:

"His Royal Highness, urgent military situation!"

Franz frowned and said, "Bring in the battle report!"

Cabinet meetings are not allowed to intrude, except in case of emergency military situations, but Franz still needs to agree.

After taking the battle report, Franz took a serious look. Milan had already fallen, and the Lombardy region was almost completely occupied. Now the war has burned to the Venice region.

After reading the battle report, Franz directly handed it over to the Prime Minister and let the cabinet members circulate it.

The content of this battle report is very vague, and many things are not explained clearly.

In addition to explaining that under the attack of the Italians inside and outside, the Austrian army lost the city and lost land and suffered heavy losses, and even the specific losses and the reasons for the failure were not explained clearly.

Franz knew that this was not the style of Marshal Radkis. Even if the front line was defeated, he would not even write a battle report clearly.

Under normal circumstances, if you lose a battle, you will always ask for help. Marshal Radkis also asked for help in the battle report, but he didn't ask to send reinforcements immediately, which meant that he would let the country figure it out!

This is only one explanation, what he is planning. For the sake of secrecy, many key places have been hidden.

"Your Highness, it's not the right time to lose this battle!" Foreign Minister Metternich said with a frown.

Is it really not the time, they are preparing to disrupt the Frankfurt conference? A defeat, and let Austria's prestige drop by a few points.

Even in connection with diplomatic negotiations with other countries, Austria will be at a disadvantage.

Looking at the map, combined with what happened in history, Franz seemed to understand the plan of Marshal Radkis.

All European politicians know that the current situation at home and abroad does not allow Austria to fail in the Italian battlefield.

In this case, Marshal Radkis did the opposite and lured the enemy to go deep, which was very feasible militarily.
