provoked the Prussian-Danish War, pulled Belgium into Germany, and even intended to export their advanced ideas to North America and South Africa.

However, this still did not satisfy the extremely inflated ambitions of the German nationalists at this time.

In fact, they also drew up a constitution and, incidentally, wanted to build an empire – an empire of the Germans

However, they soon discovered that there was no emperor in this empire. How can this work? How could such a perfect country be without an emperor?

So the gang began to search in the German states, and they easily found Franz, a ready-made emperor.

Whether it is the religious nature of a saint by nature, the progressive nature of loving science and patronizing the arts, or the liberal nature of being the largest capitalist in Germany.

By the way, some people at that time liked to associate capital and freedom in order to separate from the old era, just like independent and progressive women in the Republic of China had to be juniors.

To get back to the point, the Frankfurt Parliament met overnight after learning that Franz had become King of Rome and decided to confer the title of German Emperor on Franz Joseph.

Yes, the country has not yet been established, but the flag, the constitution, and the emperor have all come first.

However, the title of German emperor is not even as affordable as the Roman king, who is only an honorary title, but the impact is mostly positive.

However, the crown of the German emperor was more like a shackle, because the imperial power was completely restricted.

Historically, even Frederick William IV (then King of Prussia), who had a strong liberal leaning, could not accept this "crown in the stinking ditch".

Due to the opposition of the Austrian Empire, the Greater German Plan went bankrupt, and the Frankfurt Parliament had no choice but to try to elect King Frederick Wilhelm IV of Prussia as Emperor of the German Empire.

This so-called emperor was more like a puppet of the parliament and a backstabber, in contrast to certain privileged classes of the Austrian Empire.

One is the right to be blameless, and the other is to have no right to be fully responsible.

In fact, the Frankfurt Parliament was greatly influenced by the French Revolution and the British bourgeois regime, and the impact of the French Revolution on the European continent is needless to say, and the strength of Britain is also obvious to all.

So the inexperienced Germans came up with the ultimate stitching monster, and under the black, red, and gold tricolors, they were ready to create a constitutional monarchy.

On the one hand, they feared that a non-monarchical regime would cause hostility on the European continent, and on the other hand, they feared that the monarch would take power.

Therefore, the requirements of the parliament on the king reached an almost harsh level, and all political, economic, military, and diplomatic powers were owned by the parliament.

They went a step further and demanded that the daily life of the monarch be regulated, even marriages and funerals. At the same time, the monarch does not have the right to appoint an heir, let alone dissolve the parliament, but the parliament can remove the monarch.

Taken together, few monarchs would be willing to accept these conditions. However, there are many ways to circumvent parliament and the constitution, and these conditions can be negotiated.

But the international and domestic impact of this crown is immeasurable, and the double is not so easy to do.

Following the crown of the Roman king, the crown of the German Empire once again fell on the head of Franz, or rather the head of the Habsburgs.

The French could not sit still, and to say that the Roman king was a false title, but the German emperor could not let them sit idly by.

After all, France was the biggest victim of the German Confederation at this time, and it was at war with France several times before and after, and the question of Alsace-Lorraine has not yet been decided.

Louis Philippe and Henri Artois (Count of Chambord) were still watching the French throne like ghosts near France, all thanks to the German Confederation.

The strongest reaction was Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon III), after all, the title of King of Rome should have belonged to their family, and the crushing of the Holy Roman Empire was one of his uncle's greatest achievements.

The most terrible thing is that the Bonapartist faction began to circulate a small rumor that the orthodoxy of the Napoleonic family was in Austria

After all, Franz's birth was too close to the time of the death of the Roman king, and the relationship between Madame Sophie and Napoleon II was too ambiguous.

At this time, Franz's performance in the Italian battlefield was too amazing, at least not like the foolish kind of Habsburgs.

The French always like to automatically ignore the family of Archduke Karl when talking about the Austrian royal family, focusing instead on Ferdinand I and his brother.

"Damn slut! Slut! ”

Louis Napoleon's sudden curses made his mistress feel helpless.

"Obviously, we were so happy together yesterday"

The young woman wrapped her arms around Louis Napoleon's neck and slowly walked down with one hand

The young woman was good-looking and graceful, but at this time Louis Napoleon was not so interested, but resented that one of his cousins could not control him.

The man pushed the young woman away, dressed himself and disappeared into the night, feeling that he had to do something.

However, Louis Napoleon did not have any power of his own at this time, because the Bonapartist did not recognize him as Napoleon's heir.

Louis Napoleon did not have many friends at this time, only Victor Hugo, Pope Pius IX, and his former Arkham inmates believed in him.

However, it just so happened that a thousand-year-old Assassin Brotherhood had recently gone bankrupt, and they had just taken the blame for this sin on Franz.

This time, there was a rare agreement within the French Provisional Government to send troops to force Franz to give up the title of German Emperor.

However, the British reacted more violently than the French. They could not accept the great empire that ran across Europe, much less Austria to unite all the Germans.

Such a large and strong empire is not comparable to that of Austria, which can be broken at the first poke at this time.

In fact, the British were the first to perceive the national question of the Austrian Empire, so a loose Austria and a loose German Confederation.

But if Austria did reunite Germany, a super-empire with a population of more than 80 million and a Juche nation of more than 35 million would be born.

It had not only the fierce and warlike Prussians and Saxons, but also the Dutch and Venetians who were good seafarers and merchants.

It has great political, economic, and military power, as well as a terrifying ability to innovate and a desire to expand.

There was no doubt that it would be the Second Russian Empire, but the British government at this time faced many difficulties.

The economic crisis and national contradictions almost dragged Britain's domestic politics down, and John Russell is still hiding from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert after the defeat in the Mediterranean naval battle.
