Chapter 166: Heroes of the World

The Orleans army, which entered the city from the other side, did not have such good treatment, and was first ambushed by the remnants of the French army halfway, losing dozens of men.

They almost clashed with mercenaries a few hundred meters from the city, and when they finally reached the West Gate, there were not many people who welcomed them.

Rather, it was the army's tattered uniforms and armament that caused panic among the citizens of Selesta, who were closer to what they thought of as bandits.

On the other hand, although many of the German coalition forces have never participated in a battle at all, the brightly colored uniforms and uniform weapons and equipment give people a "professional" feeling at a glance.

In fact, the uniforms and equipment of the German coalition army are also very mixed, but fortunately, it is easy to divide from various states, but it seems to be orderly.

In addition to these superficial efforts, Blanqui and the Celesta parliamentarians, as well as the propaganda of the German nationalists, are also inseparable.

These influential figures in the city of Celesta went to the east gate to greet the German coalition forces, and the common people were naturally affected by it.

In the end, the benefits of the German coalition were also real, with the exception of a group of prisoners who had committed crimes during the Battle of Selesta.

Franz also distributed all the captured French supplies to the people, and these necessities were more important to the people than anything else.

Then Franz also announced in public on behalf of the German Confederation a package to save Alsace.

In fact, the reason why Blanqui wanted Franz to say it himself was mainly because he was afraid that the latter would renege on it, after all, there are many such false promises in history.

Franz didn't care about Blanqui's carefulness.

After all, these words would have been more shocking for Franz to say in person, but they might have caused a little trouble for himself at some point.

After Franz's plan was made public, it is not known who took the lead in shouting.

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live the German Empire!"

"Long live the German Empire!"

German nationalists felt that this was the perfect time for Franz to be crowned Emperor of the German Empire.

After all, the great victory in the Battle of the Mediterranean and the Battle of Celesta would soon spread throughout Europe.

It would be a good time to deter the naysayers and let them know that the Germans were finally united.

Moreover, looking at the entire German nation, only Franz and the Austrian Empire could carry this banner.

The Wittelsbach family has lived in Bavaria for more than 600 years, and their children have married to European countries.

However, its king is desolate and immoral, its land is not growing, its people are miserable, its fortunes are declining, and its country is difficult to prosper, let alone unify Germany.

The Hohenzollern family, the remnants of Zeng Fen VI, reformed and enlightened, bought two countries and annexed the northern border, divided Poland into three parts, fought Europe alone, and shocked the world.

However, the king did not see the shame of Jena, and died on the 17th, and at this time, he fought with Denmark for 100 days without winning or losing, and it was really difficult to inherit the mandate of heaven.

The Saxon family, a thousand-year-old wealthy family, the first of the Shinra, was once the first powerful state in North Germany, and was admired by the five departments in the name of Albrecht.

However, his descendants did not pity it, and gave it to others as if they were abandoning grass mustard. Cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and finally have a corner of peace.

The Orange-Nassau family (Dutch royal family) also dominated the seas and colonized the world, and the East India Company became famous in the South Seas.

However, at this time, it is just a superficial appearance, the mob cannot be stopped inside, the company cannot be controlled outside, and Yu Yu is just a lone traveler.

Hanover, but the British Doordog.

Denmark, Hesse, Württemberg, and Baden are all incompetent, while Luxembourg and Liechtenstein are even more embarrassed.

In today's world, Austria is the only country that can unify Germany.

(The previous two countries refer to the Marquis of Ansbach and the Marquises of Bayreuth.) )

Despite the anticipation of the German nationalists, Franz still poured cold water on them.

"The Austrian Empire will not be hegemonic, and I will not be crowned Emperor of the German Empire.

But we will definitely drive the invaders out of our homeland! ”

Franz did not dwell too much on this matter, but the mood of the population led in other directions.

In fact, Franz was more concerned about the success of the negotiations than the enemy in front of him.

Because as long as the British retreated, this so-called anti-Austrian alliance would collapse.

These small countries such as Ottomans and Serbia are not at all to be worried, and the Second French Republic will also become the dust of history.

As for the cancer of Hungary, Franz will completely remove it.

At this time, the perimeter of Pressburg was covered with the corpses of Hungarians, but the tall walls still stood.

Since the defenders' artillery had a longer range and occupied a better position, the Hungarian artillery could not push up at all, so it had to be filled with human lives.

But it also proved to be useless, but the nascent Hungarian parliament did not see it that way, they thought that it was just that the soldiers on the front line were not brave enough and the generals were not wise enough.

As a result, more recruits were sent to the front, and with this huge logistical pressure, the Hungarian government had to continue printing money to cover expenses.

Behind the madness of the Hungarian government was the secret British emissary in Hungary promising that as long as they took Pressburg, then the British government would support them through "special channels" with "real money".

The Hungarian leadership, including Kossuth, believed that they would prove their worth as allies if they could complete the tasks assigned to them by the British government, and that the British government would reciprocate by supporting them.

After all, this Mr. Gordon is a distant cousin of George Hamilton, a former British diplomat, and the Hamilton family is quite influential in British politics.

However, at this time, there were some different voices in the Hungarian military, and the current head of the military was still the original great nobleman Duke Baniat.

The dude was still fantasizing that Austria would offer peace, and that he would be able to return to his house in Vienna to continue his life of drunkenness.

In fact, the Baniyat family in Vienna has been uprooted for a series of felonies such as treason, rebellion, and rebellion.

Franz didn't like the music, and he was willing to clean up the garbage when the opportunity was right.

What's more, cleaning up this garbage is like cleaning a room, and occasionally bursting with gold coins and hidden objects.

In addition to gold and shops, the Baniyat family also had land and bonds.

This alone helped the Austrian Empire reduce the arrears of seven or eight million florins, and most of the other investments in the stock market had no chance of being recovered, and Franz thought that they were contributing to the Austrian economy.

Due to the strange laws of the Austrian Empire, treason, although the most serious crime, was not confiscated from the traitor's property.

Such a strange system often leads to one person's treason and the support of the whole family, after all, once it succeeds, it is a million profits, and if it fails, it is likely to be just a few years in prison, even if it is the most serious situation, it is just a matter of one person to bear it.
