"Ahh Painful"

It seems that this action is still a little too extreme for a thirty-year-old woman, Adjani looks resentful, maybe she may need a little help.

Franz walked over slightly apologetically, ready to lift the former up, but he was clearly careless.

This was a complete trap, Franz was caught by Adjani as soon as he stretched out his hand, and then the latter's feet went around the back of the former's head like a snake and wrapped the former, and the left foot and right foot buckled, and the triangle was formed.

This is a more classic killer move in judo, but it is also the most criticized, after all, the picture of brute-force cracking in various comics is not common, and the highlights of MMA, UFC and other cage fights have infinitely amplified this possibility.

In fact, it is almost impossible to crack the triangular twist that has been formed, especially the legendary "dirty tricks" of digging out the crotch, inserting eyes, biting, scratching the soles of the feet, and scratching the squeaky nest are completely ineffective, and the only thing that can be done is to beg for mercy and slap the floor.

Fortunately, the two sides were just playing, and Adjani did not exert her strength.

"How? Still playing? ”

"Okay, throw in the towel, throw in the towel."

Adjani: "Don't you struggle?" ”

Franz: "Forget it, forget it, this position is weird and uncomfortable. ”

"Let's play a little longer, it's rare that I won once."

At this time, Madame Sophie pushed the door and walked in, and when she saw this, the two young maids beside her hurriedly covered their mouths, blocked them with their hands, and then carefully observed them through the gaps between their fingers.

Mrs. Sophie: "What are you doing?" ”

"Mother, I."

"I didn't tell you, what are you still doing here?"

Madame Sophie snapped, and the two maids hurried out to close the door. Mrs. Sophie turned and plugged in the doorbolt, then grabbed a stool and sat down, cocked her feet, and said slowly.

"Tell me, what are you doing?"

Franz glanced at Adjani, who was lying on the carpet with his eyes closed.

Franz sighed helplessly, and was just about to get up when he was stopped by Madame Sophie.

"Don't move, just in this position just now, speak clearly."

Franz had no choice but to put Adjani's leg on his shoulder again.

"We're wrestling."

Madame Sophie: "I'm asking you what you've been doing lately to make the old diehards of Vienna and the Italians jump?" ”

Franz: "It's kind of sad that a rabbit dies and a fox dies." They reject all reforms and want us to exist as mascots as we have in the past.

But the wishful thinking of those old antiques is wrong, this is an era of change, change is good, and unchanged is strong; Change is prosperous, unchanged is decline; Change is life, and change is death.

And the balance of power has changed, from now on they will get weaker and weaker, and if we huddle with them again to keep warm, we will seek death. ”

Mrs. Sophie had a lot to say, because she felt that Franz's approach was too radical, and although it was "conclusive", it "disappointed" many people, and those people wanted to see the Habsburgs' "past blame".

Now those people have suffered a loss, and they will definitely not give up. Although they dare not show it now, they may one day fall into the ground, and even lead to a civil war or a catastrophe like the French Revolution.

"You'd better not forget the failure of Joseph II, who was more qualified to be emperor than you and had more hole cards in his hand, but he still failed."

Franz: "Joseph II's reforms were too radical, and it was impossible to distinguish who was an enemy and who was a friend, and it could even be said that he had no friends and no enemies, and everyone was the target of his reforms." ”

Mrs. Sophie: "The merits of your ancestors should not be judged by you little child, and you should be cautious in your actions before becoming emperor." Wouldn't it be nice to reform subtly like before?

The Austrian Empire is now undoubtedly the second most powerful country in Europe, with a military victory, and even visible changes in the economy, even the royal family's annuity has increased several times. ”

Franz: "Mother, crises are always in places we can't see. Moreover, our economy is highly dependent on external markets and raw materials, and the long-dormant Hungarians are always a threat to us. ”

In fact, the Austrian Empire had a large domestic market and almost everything, but at most it was self-sufficient, and it could not support it to become a great power.

Mrs. Sophie: "I don't know what you've been fighting all day, but the Hungarians can barely pose a threat, and nearly a quarter of the great nobles have joined your plan."

Especially after the construction of the St. Stephen's Crown Line began, many people have recognized the reality, they know that the royal power will be eternal, and they themselves are nothing more than meteor dust.

Hungary will cease to exist in a few decades, so what is there to worry about when you are still in the prime of life? ”

Theoretically, if the current trend continues steadily, the privileged class in Hungary will gradually disappear, the so-called privileges will disappear with it, and there will be no resistance to reform.

But the reality is often cyclical, and it is unlikely that it will always be smooth sailing, and it will not take the great aristocracy to go into decline, and when the time comes, new forces will emerge to continue to thwart the pace of reform.

Franz: "Mother, that's just wishful thinking on the part of the great nobles, who make up only one thousandth of the Hungarians, and even all the nobles together make up only 5% of the population.

We can't convince them one by one, so there are some things I have to do or it may be too late. ”

Mrs. Sophie sighed: "I know I can't convince you, I just hope you can trust your family, we will always have your back." ”

Mrs. Sophie turned to leave, took two steps and stopped again, saying, "Daytime prostitution is not good for health. ”

Franz hurriedly pushed Adjani away, who took the opportunity to sneak into the room.

February 07, 1845, Chinese New Year.

The British government officially signed a Lend-Lease Agreement with the Nanming Government. (The lease term is 20 years, and the annual rent is 10,000 taels of silver, which is about 20 times the lease of Kowloon, Hong Kong.) ）

At the same time, the two sides also signed a trade agreement, under which the British side promised not to sell opium and opium products to the Nanming area.

In February of the same year, the British army went north to negotiate with the Qing government on the issue of piracy.

On February 12, 1845, the Southern Ming army launched a full-scale encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the central part of Kalimantan.

On February 24, 1845, the Dutch East India Company did not send troops to rescue "Kapitan" as agreed, and Liu Gan, the self-proclaimed general of Lanfang, was killed in battle, so that all the Manchu forces loyal to Kalimantan were wiped out.

On March 11, 1845, the Nanming government handed over a series of secret formulas such as Ma Yinglong obtained by secret agents to the Austrian Imperial Church.

Soon, Ma Yinglong's sales surpassed allicin and other products, and became the best-selling drug in Austria. The cavalry couldn't put down this kind of "oriental lipstick", and after a long journey, it felt so sour.

In fact, horseback riding was still a very important sport in aristocratic circles at that time, so "Oriental lipstick" became a hot topic in aristocratic circles for a while.
