The ministers of the Austrian Empire were much angrier at the decision of the National Assembly in Frankfurt than the emperor Franz.

In particular, Count Tural and Prince Felix Schwarzenberg, two former leaders of German nationalists, were eager to send all those who carried the banner of nationalism to hell.

No one took the rabble of the German Confederation seriously, and in their eyes the ragtags were not worth mentioning, and even more so the 700,000-strong army claimed by the National Assembly.

"700,000 people? 700,000 lost dogs! If there is a waste that does not dare to return to the home, why should it challenge the authority of the empire?

We can get the Italian corps to go north, and with Salzburg's troops, it's enough to deal with the self-righteous guys. ”

Count Tural spoke more bluntly and didn't think much about it, and Prince Schwarzenberg on the side sneered.

"700,000? Where did they come from 700,000 people! There were really 700,000 pigs in that small place in Frankfurt, so we wouldn't have to fight at all. After a few months, they will have to eat dirt.

It would be nice for them to have half the forces they boasted of, but this is an opportunity for us in the Austrian Empire.

We should let the princes who watched from the sidelines see what happened to the betrayers. We should immediately cease our food aid to the German states and stop trading with them.

Then sign an agreement with Russia not to send food and other necessities to the German region. ”

Count Tular did not like the new prime minister, who was equally blunt, and he immediately retorted.

"Prime Minister, do you think the Russians are much better at discipline than the British? How could those mercenary guys give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

The Russians have always wanted to expand their influence to the west, and we can't give the Russians that chance! ”

"The Russians are just a bunch of mercenary guys, so we just have to promise them some benefits."

Prince Schwarzenberg spoke unhurriedly, but the anger of Count Tural was rekindled.

"The benefits? The Russians are so greedy, how much do we have to sacrifice in exchange for the promise of the Russians? ”

"Mr. Earl, when did I say that my country needs to be sacrificed?"

"What do you say? You mean.

A smile appeared on Prince Schwarzenberg's lips.

"That's right, we can give them the land of the Ottoman Empire, anyway, for the Russians, whether from the Balkans or the Anatolian plateau, as long as they can get to Constantinople."

This time the Count of Tural was speechless, but in Franz's opinion, His Excellency the Prince was inexperienced in politics.

The Russians have coveted the German market for a long time, but they will not give up the Ottoman lands, and in the end the Russians will most likely choose to take them all, pretending to accept the conditions to seek Austria's support while entering the German market.

For Franz, the most reasonable thing to do would be to put an end to the civil strife quickly, restart the trade barriers, and keep the Russians out.

Because of the traditions of the Austrian Empire, and the experience gained from recent battles, they felt that it was more beneficial for the Austrian Empire to defend.

Prince Schwarzenberg was not a simple politician, he had previously served as Marshal Radetzky's deputy, and was actually a senior staff officer, so he had a fairly strong say in the war.

The other ministers have nothing to say about the war, but they can ensure the normal operation of the department and are fully capable of dealing with the next war.

The Austrian Empire's economy recovered quickly, or at all, it was not hurt at all. The rebellion in Prague did not leave the city of Prague at all, so naturally it would not affect the surrounding provinces.

Although the Tafi family also funded the formation of the local guard, there was no rebellion in Moravia, and Tafi's father was naturally not broken in the battle.

Galicia was guarded by the Count of Stadion, and the refugees who had just received a share of the land in the Austrian Empire had a strong faith in the Empire.

In 1848 Galicia was not affected by the storm, but instead created one miracle after another in the midst of rapid development.

The floodplain, which had been ungoverned for thousands of years, became fertile land, where millions of refugees settled and a city called "Canaan" sprung up.

Vienna was the area where the Principality of Austria suffered the most, and the rest of the country was a small fight. After the Vienna Rebellion, the gang fell silent.

The Italian region, which was the first area to be pacified by Franz, had a large number of intensive battles that resulted in a large number of casualties.

However, the most important thing in northern Italy is people, and the ports, railways, and factories are all functioning normally, which is enough for the country.

So the storm of 1848 had little impact on the normal economic structure of the Austrian Empire, and together with the frenzied squeezing of the colonies, there would even be a situation of oversupply if it was not necessary to help other countries.

In any case, it is a miracle that the tone of voice within the Austrian Empire was so unanimous at this time, after all, there was a discussion of the fashion and some illusions that the Hungarian army could be resolved peacefully.

But no one objected to a war with the German Confederation, and no one stood up to say good things about them.

It would have been much easier to do things with unity of mind, but Franz was not prepared to go defensive. The reason is simple, at this time the German princes were waiting and watching, and whoever won, they would help.

That's right, the buttocks of these princes in Germany are very crooked, they are the same as the great nobles of the Austrian Empire, and they want to limit the imperial power to the point of magic obstacles.

And these people always believe that the capitalists need them and will be willing to share power with them, just like the British royal family.

In particular, some small states have begun to bet on both sides, and King Wilhelm II of the Netherlands has also begun to hesitate whether he should reconsider the issue of the Texas line.

"It's time to strike, and we're going to put the world back in order."

Franz's words were somewhat abrupt, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that His Majesty the Emperor was expressing nothing more than an attitude, and legitimacy was too important for the Austrian Empire.

"You mean take the initiative?"

"That's right, according to the latest intelligence, the German Federal Army claims to be 700,000, but in fact there are only 250,000, of which there are 100,000 recruits from the Rhine region.

But thanks to the railway, this number is growing by the hour.

It is true that even if they had 700,000 troops, they would not have been able to break through Salzburg, but by that time it was not just hundreds of thousands of people who had died. ”

Franz's words complicated the minds of the ministers, who did not know whether His Majesty the Emperor was a nationalist.

Franz had been cracking down on the nationalists, and at this point he was even going to war with the National Assembly, but he behaved more like a nationalist than anyone else.

"Your Majesty, a wise decision!"

Prime Minister Prince Schwarzenberg took the lead, and other ministers also echoed the voice.

To be honest, the politics of this country have not been involved in the emperor for too long, and many ministers have just been promoted, so everyone is a little confused.

"Decrees were issued to the nations demanding that they confiscate the property of the betrayers."

"Don't ask for reinforcements? Will the losses of our country in the fight against the betrayers alone be too great? ”

"There's no need, just carry out the order."

The monarchs of the small states may not have the courage to take a stand against the National Assembly, but it is quite emboldened to confiscate the assets of the members of the National Assembly and their associates in their own countries under the banner of the Austrian Empire.

On the other hand, a farmer from Latin America has arrived in Berlin, along with a man known as the Prince of Shotgun.
