Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 52

Archduke Karl had nothing to do with this neurotic son-in-law.

Yes, Ferdinando II, who just had a cordial and friendly exchange with Archduke Carl, is the son-in-law of Archduke Carl, and Archduke Maria Teresa Isabella, the daughter of Archduke Carl, is his second wife.

The reason why the demon monks focus on describing their friendly and friendly diplomatic activities is because their private exchanges are really useless and boring.

Part of the reason for such a situation is due to his personality. Old Carl was born in the military, and he was not skilled in his craftsmanship. Ferdinando II was also a man with a strong personality, and he disdained to be ignorant with his father-in-law.

The most important thing is that there is a certain conflict of interest between the two countries.

The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies was worried about being included in the system of the Austrian Empire, and the Austrian Empire was worried that the Two Sicilies would be infatuated with Spain, Britain, and France, which would affect its own vested interests.

Everyone should not think that Austria is not good because the Austrian Empire and the subsequent Austria-Hungary Empire have relatively few performances on the world stage. In fact, it is a proper top five in Europe.

Austria is the one with the strongest soft power among the top five. Metternich, the founder of the Vienna system, is still dancing gracefully on the European stage.

The comprehensive strength and political status of Britain, Russia and Austria are higher than those of France and Prussia.

France, needless to say, a defeated country under the Vienna system.

They didn’t dismember France because their orthodox empire, the Bourbon Dynasty, was restored again. It was as rotten, backward, and conservative as everyone else. There was nothing to worry about, so I left you alive.

Prussia, a new little brother, not to mention.

Russia, with well-developed limbs, simple mind, and a barbaric tribe, only escaped a life by relying on the fortified walls and clear fields of “killing one thousand enemies and injuring three thousand themselves”.

Oh, and God’s help – the freezing cold in Moscow.

In Britain, far from the mainstream of the European continent, the black smoke in the house is more than ours.

Did you mention Spain? The rotten empire that is not far from death, forget it, it is not worth talking about.

What, Turkey? It is a solidarity catalyst for the European continent.

As long as you try to tickle him, the countries in the Continent can let go of any contradictions first.

In the 1840s, Austria, in his own eyes and in the eyes of other European countries, was one of the top powers.

In Vienna in the 1840s, a meeting could decide the demise or birth of a small country, and whether a family had the right to inherit a certain fat and oily territory.

After a while, Queen Maria Theresa Isabella also came.

She said hello to her cousin and aunt Maria Clementina, then to her uncle and cousin-in-law, then to her father, and then to her eldest sister, Mary The princess said hello, then to her half-sister Ludovika, and then to a bunch of little things.

Everyone in the audience also returned their salutes one by one.

After this lap, the amount of exercise is no worse than the eighth set of radio gymnastics.

The European royal family, especially the traditional royal family like Austria, like Costin people, attaches great importance to etiquette.

“Maria, why did your king suddenly let us go to Salerno and seal it?”

After the official communication was over, everyone returned to their family names. Sister Maria, the victim of the “Just Sealing Incident”, asked about Sister Maria.

Both of their names are Maria.

“Go and go. The king means that there are many Spaniards and British people in that place, and there must be a heavyweight royal family official to sit in.”

Sister Maria is also not easy to answer.

One is her husband, and the other is her sister and uncle. You can only talk to the mud and repeat the obvious reasons.

“I thought it was because we were an eyesore and wanted to send us away.”

Sister Maria still muttered.

“Sister Maria, what’s going on?”

Ludovica’s heart of gossip was burning, he pulled Sister Maria aside and asked in a low voice.

“Is there any reason, it’s just jealousy and jealousy.”

Sister Maria sighed and held back so much that she recklessly poked these out. Anyway, there are no outsiders here.

“Your brother-in-law, Leopold, and some mature and prudent members of the royal family sometimes give advice to Ferdinando. After all, everyone wants the two Sicilies to develop better…”

Sister Maria is both the cousin of King Ferdinando II and his aunt, so it is not necessary to address the king privately.

It seems to make sense, but who likes to hear opinions?

“… This also accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction. Ferdinando was influenced by France when he was young, and he was more inclined to liberalism, and he could even get along with the homeless on the street.”

This is a show in the name of freedom, a cordial reception, and tears. These are the super shows that can most fool the people at the bottom.

This old boy is a talent. After listening to Aunt Maria’s introduction, little Carl came up with such an evaluation.

“Aunt Maria, how did your king get along with the tramp?”

Little Carl was very interested in this show.

Are we having dinner together? That’s kind of gross; sleepy together? That will grow fleas; that is dancing together, singing together? Or do we pray together and recite the scriptures together?

“After Ferdinando succeeded to the throne, everyone thought that he loved the people at the bottom so much, was so sympathetic, and was so liberal. Then we should establish a constitution to effectively restrict the royal power from the system. It should be no problem.”

Sister Maria ignored his interjection. She didn’t know little Carl, so she didn’t pay enough attention to it. She continued to follow her own line of thinking and complained about the king, his cousin and nephew.

“Of course he didn’t agree to make a constitution. What do we mean by Leopold and a bunch of old royal family members, don’t be hard-headed, if you don’t make a constitution, let’s talk about it first, and wait for a while to get the guys who instigated the constitution-making in one fell swoop. Do it, it will be fine.

“Ferdinando directly gave instructions, no. Compared with his image of freedom and fraternity when he was young, it shocked the rough men in Sicily. They called him a hypocrite, a liar or something. Get up on top…”

This is because of over-performing at a young age, which made the grass-folks have unrealistic fantasies.

Little Carl immediately told himself that in the future, he could not perform the “Grand Duke Carl’s Show of Friendship and Love for the People”.

“…The people from the countryside in Sicily, if they have any patience, they just pick up the **** and sickle to make trouble. Your brother-in-law and the royal family persuade them to send someone to explain it to them, be polite, and add a little more. Fake and real promises can be fooled.”

“This group of people can’t get used to it. Maria Ludovica can’t tolerate this kind of situation. The people of the country can use their power. Are we not as smart as them and need their intellectual help? They Just listen and work.”

Princess Mary came over and said softly to Ludovica.

Little Karl didn’t expect Maria Ludovica to be so good, but it is estimated that he had seen too much despicableness and filth at the bottom on the way to escape from his hometown and went north to Vienna, which led him to have such a decisive attitude towards the bottom.

Before going north to Vienna, she had been living in the Principality of Modena, which was almost like living in a plastic greenhouse. But on the way to the north, it was commonplace.

“As a result, Ferdinando completely ignored it and sent the army to suppress it. Of course, the grasshoppers couldn’t make any big noise. When a wave of violence was pushed over, they died.

“It’s a pity that Britain and France would not let such an opportunity go so easily. They fanned the flames there, spread the pound francs casually, encouraged people from hard resistance to soft resistance, and even gave Ferdinand the nickname of the butcher of the peninsula. He’s half **** off.”

This is indeed a common tactic used by Britain and France. Who is so powerful? One exports constitutionalism, the other exports liberalism, one has pounds, and the other has francs.

“In this way, of course the royal family has to use lubricants to reconcile the differences between the king and his subordinates. Your brother-in-law, as the uncle of the king, has to persuade the king, and the king thinks it is against him.”

People feel that it is hard to say who is right and who is wrong, but it actually depends on the effect.

If Ferdinando II slashed the mess with a sharp knife, and went up to knock down the guys who were violently confronting, three or five people were killed and injured, and a village was affected. In fact, it was nothing.

In the end, he was a little bit slow, and things got bigger. Although the riot was settled, it was well known in Europe, and even the two greedy cats in Britain and France came over after smelling the fishy smell.

The reputation of the butcher of the peninsula, without British and French propaganda, is strange that it can spread.

“There is one more thing, we were spattered with blood.”

After everyone digested the information of Ferdinando II, Sister Maria said angrily, anxiously and helplessly.

“Our child, Ferdinando’s cousin, Carlo Francisco, is young and has a good resume. He graduated from the Vienna Military Academy.

“Carlo has also traveled in continental Europe, and England has also traveled. He has the same calmness as his father, and the thinking and vitality of a young man.”

“Sister, you’re praising your son, but what does that have to do with you being splattered with blood?”

Ludovica was puzzled and asked quickly.

“Don’t worry, isn’t that the point…”

Carl actually has the same question as Aunt Ludovika.

“…The old people in the royal family often scold Carlo, saying that you can take it easy for me, how can you be like Ferdinando when he was young, there is no formality. In fact, our family Carlo is quite honest, and has always been Formal.”

“Someone also told Carlo not to become like Ferdinando in the future, to be stubborn and self-willed. Anyway, they were all negative descriptions, blah blah blah. In this way, Ferdinando also has an opinion on Carlo.”

Damn, it’s really a lie. Bad things go to Ferdinand Naby. There were so many people talking, he couldn’t hold grudges one by one, he could only spread his dissatisfaction on Carlo. Little Carl couldn’t help but bow his head to mourn for this cousin.

There was another reason why Ferdinando II wanted them to get out of the way quickly. Maria Clementia didn’t say it, but Carl Jr. could figure it out through his own observation and analysis.

What Maria Clementina said were all trivial things, and neither would make Ferdinand II abdicate, nor would his son lose his right of inheritance, at most it would affect Ferdinando invisibly and make him. He just had a headache.

And the reason he didn’t say was the main reason. The two Marias had the same interests in dealing with the eldest son.

The throne of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies will be inherited by the eldest son of the king born to Ferdinando II’s ex-wife, and the children of the Austrian Habsburg family will not get this seat.

Ferdinando II first married the little princess of the Kingdom of Sardinia and had a son. After the death of the first wife, he married the daughter of Grand Duke Karl as his wife.

Since he has a son, and he is the eldest son of the king, he is the natural heir to the throne.

In this way, no matter how busy the daughter of Grand Duke Karl is, her children will not get the throne, unless the eldest son of the emperor dies, or he can get married but has no offspring.

Now in the royal family of the Two Sicilies, Ferdinando II’s uncle married a Habsburg family member, and his current wife is a Habsburg family member.

Moreover, the Habsburg family is also a small expert in marriage.

Of course, Ferdinando II was worried. Fortunately, the eldest son of the king was born of the Sardinian royal family. If the eldest son of the king was born of the Habsburg family, he would have to worry that his family would change hands.

Ferdinando II sent his uncle and cousin (his aunt’s daughter) to Salerno. There was some inappropriate communication and coordination between the wife and cousin of the province, which affected the unity and stability of the kingdom.

Of course, Salerno does have many British and Spaniards developing there, and someone needs to guard this important town that guards Naples.
