Make France Great Again

Following the brief meeting between Jerome Bonaparte and Huberner, Baron Huberner quickly returned to the Austrian embassy and sent a telegram to Vienna.

The telegram reads as follows: Dear Duke of Schwarzenberg, I have received exact information from President Jerome Bonaparte that the French Republic is unwilling to interfere with the Austrian Empire's punishment of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The telegram was sent to the Vienna Telegraph Office by the sender's dexterous hands. After translating the content of the telegram, the telegraph operator who received the telegram hurriedly copied the telegram and sent it to Schönbrunn Palace.

Prime Minister's Office at Schönbrunn Palace.

The revolutionary storm of 1848 sent Prince Metternich, who had created the Vienna system, out of this office in an embarrassed manner.

A few months later, it welcomed a younger and more ambitious owner than Metternich, Duke Felix Schwarzenberg.

Felix Schwarzenberg, born into the "loyal" Schwarzenberg family of Bohemian generations, was a soldier before he became prime minister.

However, Felix did not inherit the unique military genes of the Schwarzenberg family. He had decided from the beginning that he would never become a pure soldier. He wanted to use the soldier as a springboard to Metternich. Check it out.

However, Felix's career in politics has not been easy.

If it weren't for the revolution in 1848, if he hadn't met the current emperor Joseph Franz, the crown prince of the year, on the battlefield of Lombardy, he might have spent his entire life in the barracks.

If Prince Wendy Schreitz wasn't his brother-in-law, Felix would have been thrown out of the game

God gave Felix a series of opportunities, and Felix seized these opportunities firmly.

When Radetzky was in a stalemate with the Sardinian dynasty on the Lombard battlefield, Felix, who was Radetzky's temporary staff, received news that his brother-in-law, Prince Windischgritz, was about to lead troops to Vienna to counter the rebellion. Later, he decided to use this opportunity to realize his ambition, Felix took the initiative to ask Marshal Radetzky to **** Felix.

Perhaps Radetzky saw through that the temporary assistant was not in Italy, or even in the army.

Radetzky agreed to Felix's request and dispatched a part of the army for Felix to **** Joseph Franz back.

Under the instigation of Felix, Joseph Franz decided to leave Lombardy and return to Vienna, where he wanted to take back his own glory.

Escorted by Felix and thousands of soldiers, a mighty Habsburg team set off.

Along the way, Felix tried his best to gain the trust of Empress Dowager Sophie. Perhaps because of Felix's own perseverance and Wendischgritz's extra points, Empress Dowager Sophie chose to trust Felix.

[The Habsburg court knew that Prince Wendischgritz was a member of the Empress Dowager Sophie. 】

Just as the troops were about to arrive in Vienna, 80,000 troops of Prince Wendischgritz arrived, and the army with artillery quickly suppressed the National Guard in Vienna.

Amidst the ruins of blood and brains, the Habsburg carriage returned to Vienna.

The city of Vienna returned to the hands of the royal family. After that, Felix and Prince Wendischgritz even discussed to establish Franz Joseph as emperor.

They found the Empress Dowager Sophie, who was still the Grand Duchess, and the Empress Dowager Sophie "convinced" her husband to abdicate Joseph Franz.

Under the arm of Wendischgritz's army and the Empress Dowager Sophie, the rest of the Habsburgs agreed to "abolish" Ferdinand I and replace him with Joseph Franz.

After Joseph Franz succeeded to the throne, he admired Felix's tough policy, coupled with the support of Empress Dowager Sophie, Marshal Radetzky and Wendischgritz. Felix Schwarzenberg successfully climbed up the chancellor and foreign minister of the Austrian Empire as a soldier.

[The Prussia next door also had a similar incident with the Austrian Empire. Princess William I instigated Bismarck, who was carrying the militia, to launch a coup and abolish the position of King Frederick William IV of Prussia. However, Bismarck did not have a prince and mastered the brother-in-law of the regular army. . Bismarck, who had only the serfs to form a militia group, decisively rejected the proposal of Princess William I, so he was hated by Princess William I for a long time. In a way, Schwarzenberg was a version of Bismarck's success in 1848. 】

Although this is the first time Felix has served as foreign minister, he has relied on his superb diplomatic skills without a teacher, and cooperated with the army of the Upper Austria Empire, which is not bad enough, so that he can use the disguised power in diplomatic occasions. Outerwear can be moved flexibly.

Internally, Josip Jelacic, Wendischgritz, and Radetzky were used to suppress the revolutions in Italy and Hungary, and externally to win over the German state against Prussia, and to win over the Russian Empire to contain Prussia. The Fool Nicholas I's 140,000 Imperial Russian troops suppressed the Hungarian Revolution.

It took Schwarzenberg less than a year to basically clear the two battlefields of Italy and Hungary, and at the same time suppressed the Kingdom of Prussia, making it impossible to become a country that exists on the same level as Austria in the true sense.

At the moment, Reich Chancellor Wendischgritz is talking with Justice Minister Bach about post-war Hungary.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I think the Empire wants to completely control Hungary, and the only way to eradicate Hungary is to completely dismantle them into provinces!" Wearing a tuxedo, a characteristic of the middle class in Vienna, with a sash on the chest, Bach, who was still wearing a medal, said aggressively to Schwarzenberg.

It's hard to imagine that the guy in front of him, whose speech is full of authoritarianism, was a liberal lawyer a few months ago.

It can only be said that the saying that the **** decides the head applies at any time.

Compared with Bach, who has a strong middle-class atmosphere, Schwarzenberg is dressed in a light blue Lev military uniform and has a medal of honor hanging on his right shoulder. He is full of military characteristics and does not look like a qualified statesman. Rather like a warlord who stole power.

"What about after the provincialization?" Felix did not agree with Bach's point of view, nor did he rush to deny Bach's opinion. His speech was calm, as if he was discussing with Bach.

"After provincialization, we can put aside Hungary's original political system and mobilize a large number of administrative personnel from Bohemia and Austria to control Hungary! This can effectively prevent them from collusion!" Bach told Felix The Prime Minister continued.

Prime Minister Felix got up and thought for a while, and then said again: "Minister Bach, can you write down all your plans and report them to me. I need to explain to His Majesty the specific implementation steps and methods of the plan."

Felix Schwarzenberg has clearly embraced Bach's ideas.

"Yes!" Bach nodded to Felix with a smile. He was happy to have a prime minister as "considerate" as Felix Schwarzenberg.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

There was a knock on the door, and Prime Minister Felix said softly, "Come in!"

The Prime Minister's secretary hurriedly entered the door, holding a piece of white letter paper in the secretary's hand.

"What happened?" Prime Minister Felix asked the secretary.

"Mr. Prime Minister, a telegram from France!" said the secretary to Prime Minister Felix.

Felix and Bach's eyes simultaneously noticed the stationery in the secretary's hand.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I'll go first!" Bach resolutely chose to avoid suspicion for matters that were not within his business scope. Bach, who was given the power to manage Austria's internal power by Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg, did not want to involve diplomacy, but that was The private plot of every generation of Austrian prime ministers, rash comments will only make Prime Minister Felix feel that he wants to replace him as the new prime minister.

"Well!" Schwarzenberg nodded, but did not keep Bach.

Bach bowed and saluted Prime Minister Felix before leaving the Prime Minister's office.

After Bach left, Prime Minister Felix said to the secretary with a serious expression, "Show me the telegram!"

The secretary handed the telegram to Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg.

The content of the telegram was very short, but it made the Austrian "Iron Chancellor" Felix Schwarzenberg frown frequently.

"Huh? They just gave up the Sardinian kingdom like that?" Felix Schwarzenberg said to himself in surprise after reading the contents of the letter.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, doesn't France's answer meet your expectations?" The secretary responded cautiously to Felix Schwarzenberg. He did not understand that the French Republic had promised not to interfere in the politics of Austria and Sardinia~www.readwn .com~ Why is the Prime Minister unhappy!

"What do you think I asked Radetzky to provoke another dispute at the border?" Felix Schwarzenberg asked the secretary in return.

The secretary replied cautiously, "In order to punish Sardinia?"

Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg shook his head, with a mix of disappointment and contempt on his face, and explained: "The Kingdom of Sardinia is not worthy of the empire to do anything deliberately. Everything I do is for the French Republic!"

"Prime Minister, with all due respect! It seems that the Kingdom of Sardinia has no connection with the French Republic!" The secretary asked in confusion.

"Once Marshal Radetzky provokes a dispute on the border, the French Republic will surely ensure the safety of the Kingdom of Sardinia for the sake of border peace. At that time, I can follow the wishes of France and propose a strategy to maintain the established territory in 1815!" Felix Schwarzenberg explained to the secretary: "The current president is a member of the Bonaparte family. Are they really willing to be limited by the established boundaries?"
