466 A city within a city

"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer!" Breschroedt eagerly at Elena's desk and counted the charges of the War Department: "They are preparing for the general election! The officer corps is so bold and reckless that it is unclear whether the state owns the army or the army owns the state? But at least one thing is very clear, the officer corps has long been a big beast! This beast, since it cannot be controlled, must be put in a cage!"

"Breschroeder, I have always taken your advice, but the empire has been economically crumbled and shattered by me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoI'm a little confused. Elena stood at the window looking at the snow, her white robe hanging on the ground, too calm.

"What do you still wonder? The military department has refused to listen to the dispatch, and only the 5,000 National Guard, which is funded by the royalists, is still loyal to the royal family. Who's right and who's wrong, it's clear from that alone!" Braischroeder exclaimed: "Your Majesty, you must be tough in order to crush the wolf-like ambition of the officer corps to elect a new king!, and the royalists will continue to support you, and will even help you seek international assistance, if you need it!"

The palace skirt rustled on the ground, and Elena moved in front of Breschroeder, and when she looked down at him, she bit her lip to restrain her anger, and her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings: "You can ask for international aid for me? What kind of aid? Money can't help me anymore." She had a hunch that the long-sealed truth was finally being revealed.

"Military aid, of course. "Breeschroeder's interests are all tied to the imperial system, which can be described as both prosperity and loss. So he looked up at Elena, and his deep and cloudy eyes shone brightly, and the emperor was encouraged with sonorous power: "I have maintained a close relationship with the top brass in Paris, and I can even influence the vote of the Reichstag in England to bring about a powerful coalition to attack Wiener and force the officer corps to surrender!"

Breeschroeder wanted to maintain the imperial system to ensure that the value of the bonds in his hand would be preserved, so he did everything to encourage Elena, and he even took advantage of the confusion, misinterpreting the anger in the queen's eyes as an indomitable fighting spirit.

"Can you influence the strategic movement of the enemy?" Elena gritted her silver teeth, her skin trembled to restrain her grief and anger, and her face struggled to remain quiet and sweet: "The 'close relationship' you described already existed when the Seven Years' War Agreement was signed, right?"

"Yes, that's why the old king ordered me to preside over the defeat negotiations. Breeschroedt said with a lotus flower in his mouth, and desperately pouted: "As long as you make up your mind, you will be determined to destroy the rebels! The Hofburg Imperial Palace is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be called a natural danger; with the royalists guarding the city within the city and the strong intervention of the British and French forces outside, Your Majesty will be invincible and will bring the glory of the HRE royal family to all generations!"

Elena finally knew that everything was the same as Frederick said - the bankers collaborated with foreign enemies, cooperated with the invading armies of Paris, Prusha, and Sirisha, and jointly signed the insatiable "Treaty of the Hall of Mirrors", and framed the mighty HRE Empire into a defeated country.

The most indignant thing is that the person who knocked out the marrow of the HRE Empire was none other than the central bank executive promoted by the old king - Breschroder.

At this last moment, if he had not been cornered, Braischroeder would not have admitted this "intimacy" to the Empress.

"You're right. A man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows him. Elena bowed her head and muttered, her fingers trembling on the desk, her back to Breeschroed, and repeated tiredly: "Loyalty and treachery, loyalty and treachery." ā€

Breechroeder secretly rejoiced, thinking that the empress was really a girl who was not involved in the world, and it would work as soon as she plucked it.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Please issue a decree ruling that all actions of the Corps of Officers are unlawful. With the royalists holding the palace, the Hofburg is impregnable, His Majesty's authority is enduring and the imperial system is eternal. Braischroeder asked categorically.

"Draw up an edict. Elena couldn't look directly at the old fox and turned her back on her promise.

Braischroed's heart was overjoyed. He remembered that when Ferdinand was defeated, it was the Empress who helped Frederick win the battle. And today, the Empress will also help him to be undefeated.

In June 1736, the HRE Empire established a nationwide conscription system. In July of the same year, the financial crisis completely destroyed the credibility of the royal family. In order to save the government's credibility, the War Department and the Cabinet planned a referendum to force the emperor to abdicate and establish the Presidential Palace, which was referendum to elect the interim president and lead the officer corps to implement the new policy.

Breschroeder decided to break the net. He opened his private arsenal and distributed the new rifles that had been smuggled and stored for many years to the National Guard, then led a small number of royalists to defend the Hofburg Palace, ordered 5,000 National Guards to take over the palace defense, and then immediately issued an edict announcing the deprivation of command of the War Department and ruling the referendum an illegal campaign.

He thought that he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, just like Frederick. As long as he firmly stands with the empress, he dares to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky.

Elena obediently followed Breschroeder's advice and issued a decree against the War Office, stamped it with a seal, ruling that all the actions of the War Minister Farina were illegal, and instructing the world that if the officer corps took any drastic action, the royal family would arrest those involved and punish them as rebels.

The old bankers took thunderous measures, which really shocked the cabinet and the military department. The 5,000 new legions in the Hofburg Imperial Palace condescendingly defended this city within a city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The walls of the palace were lined with guns, and the swords were tense against the backwardly equipped Wehrmacht.

Braischroeder patrolling the defenses from the tower. He had lied to the Empress, who had no loyalty to the Guard, except that all their expenses were paid for by the Loyalists, which was about the equivalent of a regular mercenary army, who worked for whomever was paid, and that's it.

"Does the War Office have any intention of attacking the city?" said Breschroeder, who personally climbed the Hofburg watchtower, and asked Vickers. Vickers was at odds with Frederick, and his position was so high that he was trusted by the royalists, and he had already taken over the defense, setting up his headquarters on a watchtower with a wide view.

"The Hofburg Imperial Palace is called a city within a city with a commanding position, and the palace watchtower overlooks the city, so you can see the movement of troops at a glance. We have such an advantage that there is basically no chance of losing it. The War Department probably sensibly gave up the idea of attacking the city. Dressed in the uniforms of the Seven Years' War, Vickers stood in the east wind with great vigour, and pointed out the miniature artillery garrison to the banker: "You see, the artillery brigade stationed in the east of the city is not moving, and the four dragoon garrisons are also calm, and there is no sign of a build-up of troops. And we have the advantage of reconnaissance, and once the officer corps gathers forces, we will find out as soon as possible. The palace has half a year's worth of food as usual, and we have complete peace of mind. ā€

"You don't have to keep it for half a year. In about a month, reinforcements from Paris arrived. When the time comes, the officer corps will be destroyed, and the HRE Empire will be our wheat field. The banker encouraged Vickers with all his might, and he was relieved.
