Wordplay became a necessity, and Franz actually hired a number of legal experts and linguists to work on it.

However, it was still seen by Prince Metternich at a glance.

"Archduke Franz, you do this." He said after a moment's silence.

"There's nothing wrong with that. However, it is better to pretend to be the hand of the Regency Council, after all, there are some inflexible guys who want to jump over the wall in a hurry. ”

Count Korolav also saw what was wrong at this time, and he hesitated for a while, but this time he did not contradict Prince Metternich.

"Archduke Franz, I understand your feelings, after all, since childhood, he has withstood the pressure of revitalizing the empire and the title of a natural saint, but isn't reform something that should be done after falling into a desperate situation?

Now that the empire is booming and you have the means to do it, why take the most radical of strategies?

I hate as much as you do guys who want to engage in moral kidnapping at every turn, but I still recommend that you do these things again someday in the future.

In fact, after so many years of benevolent rule, the Habsburgs are still strong enough in Austria that you don't have to worry too much if you have to. ”

The Count of Latour, on the other hand, was worried, and as the leader of the Josephian faction, how could he not know what Franz was going to do.

Count Latour had been looking forward to this day since he was young, but he was the most hesitant when it came, because no one wanted it to happen again.

Although he did not live through the time of Teresa, the name of the Empress still lives on in Austria today, and it was a monarch who could have put an end to it.

At this time, Count Latour of Ferdinand I suddenly felt that it could not be worse.

The change in the face of the Minister of War made it clear at a glance what he was thinking, and Count Korolav, an old friend, patted him on the shoulder.

"Didn't the army reequip several times? The number of troops has also been expanded several times, what do you have to be afraid of? ”

"Who said I was scared!" The Count of Latour opened his old friend's hand and justified, "I'm just thinking about how to reduce the scale of the war to the minimum!" ”

Franz didn't expect this kind of statement from the top of the empire, after all, in his eyes, these people are the representatives of the old forces.

Of course, it is also possible that a group of old foxes teamed up to play Franz, but it doesn't matter.

In fact, Franz was still planning how to convince them, but now it seems that there is no need.

"Thank you, but I'm just trying to read this government notice in a more reasonable way of writing, not to anyone.

But I must make it clear that some actions and words that were too partial to the Polish aristocracy could have provoked even greater resentment, since it was the commoners who shed the most blood and died at the front.

We ought to do them justice, and the Poles, who had been hanged by this time for their participation in the rebellion in Russia, should have thanked us, not accused us of miswording. ”

"Then let's raise our hands and vote."

Metternich said that he was righteous and Ling Ran before, but he would not carry this black cauldron by himself.

Archduke Franz Karl grabbed the hand of the Grand Duke Louis, which was the support of the royal family. And Prince Metternich and Count Korolav, who had previously shown loyalty, naturally could not regret it at this time.

The Regency Council unanimously approved the plan, with final changes before it was made public.

Then this compensation scheme for the Polish nobility in Galicia became an amnesty, and the transfer of protection became a meritorious service, with a special emphasis on Dalmatia as a place of exile.

The majority of the aristocratic circles remained indifferent to it, the Poles protested dissatisfied, and the common people were like a festival.

Franz took the opportunity to run a series of promotions and promote new products such as kebabs, skewers, and potato chips.

After all, eating melons and watching dramas, snacks and beer are indispensable, and the promotion of Pilsner beer allows the working public to buy a cup from time to time.

The city was drunk with the sudden half-price sale, and the citizens of Vienna burst into an unprecedented sense of patriotism and national pride as the convoy of Polish nobles exiled to Dalmatia drove through the streets of Vienna.

The angry burghers terrified the aristocracy, reminded them of the fear that the French aristocracy had once been dominated by the plebeians, of the French Revolution, of the guillotine, of Robespierre, the Great Devil.

After that, the protests of the nobles were much quieter, and only a few nobles still denounced the cruelty and tyranny of the empire.

However, these fingers were pointed at the Prime Minister of the Regency Metternich and the Minister of the Interior, Count Korolav, who were also prepared but chose to remain silent, neither explaining nor objecting.

And the aristocrats, who were stirring up trouble everywhere, suddenly became the target of the German nationalists.

The reason for the latter is very simple, even Metternich, an old traitor, and Korolov, a big corrupt official, did not stand up for the Poles, so the former must be a heinous person who surpassed them.

In this era of nationalist awakening, there were many kinds of nationalists in the Austrian Empire, but under the guidance and covert support of Franz, Austrian nationalists were on the rise.

They are more inclusive and stable than other nationalists, but the disadvantage is that they are poorly organized, rational but lack enthusiasm, so it is still the German nationalists who make the most trouble.

For the treatment of the Polish aristocracy, the direction of public opinion in the Austrian Empire also changed from the emperor's benevolence to justice. In fact, this is also just in case of foreshadowing, if the Poles are rebellious, it will not be too much public opinion and moral pressure.

At this time, the ethnic question within the Austrian Empire was very complex, and the Italians had become the second largest ethnic group in the Empire, with a high concentration in northern Italy.

There were constant tensions between the newcomers and the natives, and there was friction between the Northern Italians and the Austrian imperial government, who were desperate for power, but no government would allow an independent-minded people to dominate a region.

Delegates from northern Italy hoped that Austria would withdraw its troops and cede political power to allow the natives to form a parliament to elect officials.

It all sounds great, but their purpose is to create a nation within a state.

The Austrian Empire had a very limited coastline, and if they were allowed to succeed, it would be much more harmful than Hungary.

So it was impossible for the empire to agree, so the northern Italians began to try to solve it by other means, and they began to hold "banquets" like the French.

Naturally, the Austrian Empire could not sit still, and the more than 10 million Italians were too large to be dispersed.

Metternich's idea was to recruit 50,000 young Italians into the army in the future, and then move the Italians to the colonies, as well as to Dalmatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and northern Albania to disperse their forces.
