Chapter 23: Real junior officer

Through a series of personnel transfers, Franz has actually controlled the Royal Guard. Archduke Louise did not know if he really did not understand it, or he was pretending to be confused. There was no response whatsoever.

Franz feels that he is more likely to be confused. The Royal Guards are not large in number and only have the strength of a regiment, but they are responsible for defending the royal family.

The actual control of this force has always been in the hands of the court of Vienna. Archduke Louis, who is nominally in command, did not dare to make big moves in it.

Franz's training of the Royal Guard was actually acquiesced by the Vienna court. Before the operation, he also received a warrant from his uncle Ferdinand I.

The Habsburgs are already preparing for his regency. If there is no accident, he will be a member of the Regent Committee after three years. After a few years of tempering, the Regent Committee will be dissolved and the Crown Prince Regency era will be entered. .

Ferdinand I was reluctant to fall by the wayside. Unfortunately, he suffered from epilepsy. On average, he became ill more than 20 times a day. He could not handle government affairs at all. Supporting Franz Regent was one of his measures.

Well, Franz admits that he relies on Huyou. The uncle's mind is often offline and there are often ridiculous things, but he pays special attention to the foundation of the Habsburg family and occasionally produces delusions of victimization.

This created an opportunity for Franz, and Ferdinand I often had amazing speeches, and whatever he considered useful became a written document.

In other words, there are many imperial edicts in Franz's hands. Whether they have legal effects or not depends on the actual situation.

If it is taken out now, the Regent Committee will probably reject it, but when necessary, he can directly issue these orders without going through the Regent Committee and become an established fact.

Although the Austrian government was actually under the control of the Regent's Committee, no one on the bright side announced that Ferdinand I had lost the ability to govern, and the emperor's order was still valid.

The news of the January Revolution soon spread across continental Europe, and the news reached Vienna. People were just surprised that nothing should have happened.

But when the news reached Paris, things changed.

From 1840 to 1848, when Conservative leader Gizo was elected prime minister, he allowed capitalists to enter government departments and abused power to arbitrarily approve commercial contracts in order to please financial groups.

Corruption and bribery in the government have become the norm, and various scandals have emerged, and people have gradually lost confidence in the government.

By now, the supporters of the July dynasty are only bankers, exchange brokers, railway kings, big mine owners, big forest owners, and big landowners.

Since the economic crisis hit France in 1847, hunger riots have continued to occur throughout the country. The "Labor Protection Law" promulgated by Austria has ignited the workers' strike movement.

In this context, the news of the January Revolution came, and the people of Paris, who were already full of revolutionary spirit, were naturally affected. The foundation of the revolution was already in place, and now there is only one Mars left.

However, the decadent July dynasty turned a deaf ear to all this. The banquet movement launched by the bourgeoisie was stopped by the government. The event originally scheduled for January 19, 1848, was postponed to February 22.

Looking at the information in his hand, Franz was relieved that history had not changed because of his butterfly effect, and the advantages of the prophet and the foreboding could still be used.

However, he and the military generals moved more frequently, including the governor on the side, Franz also maintained correspondence with them.

Inadvertently, Franz also expressed concerns about the situation in the country, incidentally mentioning the January Revolution in Sicily, and made bold predictions that continental Europe would cause a chain reaction.

Can they arouse their attention, and Franz has only to obey destiny and do his best. He can't always say directly that Austria will also have a revolution?

If you say this, you will not be shocked to be a lunatic, you will be treated as a lunatic.

Considering the current situation of the Habsburgs, Franz feels that the latter situation is even greater.

Now Franz has given full play to the nature of a military enthusiast and inspected the training of the troops around Vienna, the more he saw, the more disappointed he was.

"Albrecht, what can you do to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the short term, I am talking about the City Defense Army!" Franz asked cautiously.

"Frantz, this is very simple. As long as you can let the noble officers in it hang out and promote a capable person to be an officer, the combat effectiveness of the city defense forces can be improved immediately!" He Rudolph thought about it

Franz reluctantly said, "Albrecht, this joke is not funny at all. If I can get them off, I won't have to talk to you here anymore!

I mean, is it possible to call them together to train and play a little role at a critical time? "

Yes, Franz does have high hopes for the city defense forces. These nobles usually seem to be tumors that affect the combat effectiveness of the army, but they are different in extraordinary times.

Not to mention, at least in terms of loyalty, they are reassuring. Once the Vienna Revolution broke out, using them to suppress the rebellion was more reliable than using civilian officers.

The only pity is that their ability does not seem to be reassuring. Even to suppress a group of black people, Franz is skeptical.

"Otherwise, I'll give you the position of the commander of this city defense force. Anyway, I can't do anything with them!" Albrecht said indifferently.

Franz thought for a while and said, "I ’m here and I'm here. Anyway, it's a bunch of waste. Even if you don't train, the situation won't be worse. However, you should keep the commander of the city defense force. Do I need your support? "

"Franz, what are you going to do? There are a lot of aristocratic officers in the city defense army, and the implication is wide, you can't mess around!" Albrecht said with some worry.

"Albrecht, do you look like I'm a messer?" Franz asked back.

Albrecht shook his head, and Franz left a good impression on everyone.

Franz went on to say: "I should also enter the military service, and I will apply in the future. I will stay in the city defense service for the next three months.

You can throw away the gang of officers who have been living together for military training with me. Of course, those who are over 28 years old and who are registered in the army are not required. "

He finally remembered that he was 13 years old and already an Austrian Army Colonel. If these people were not removed, the lively aristocracy would probably give him a "children's group", but there are mythical "junior military officers" in the Austrian army who have not been weaned.
