Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 74

Carl replied, in the opinion of Archduke John, it was still too general, and asked, “You can be specific, it is feasible.”

Carl saw that the old man was still a little interesting, so he described the situation in detail.

“One is that the country itself has to get rid of the rotten flesh, and the other is that the personnel have to get rid of the rotten flesh before they can make progress.”

“Be more specific.” John felt that it was still not in place, and it was almost meaningless, so he called.

“The two big points and the four small points actually mean two things anyway. First, there are several kingdoms and principalities close to Austria that belong to the Catholic Church. Let them join Austria and become the direct power of the Austrian Empire. They cannot be as big as Hungary. autonomy.”

After two big and four small, Carl said slowly.

“Second,” Archduke John was a little anxious.

Carl picked up the water glass and drank for a while before saying

“The carrion in Hungary is going to be cut off, of course, not this kingdom, this territory, these people, the Magyar nobles; of course, this is also the third point, that is to clean up the nobles who are against the empire, and they are not very cooperative. If the title is taken away, at least the title will be reduced.”

“The fourth is to seal new nobles, right?” John asked impatiently.

“Yes, it is to divide the new nobles, but the new nobles do not have much land rights, or divide the land that does not cooperate with the old nobles and give them to the new nobles. As for the land of the nobles, they are all directly under the empire.”

The new rules of enfeoffment are actually more important than killing the old nobles. The new nobles and new ideas can also bring the old nobles with them.

The same is true for Northern Italy. The emerging nobles are cleaned up, the non-emerging nobles are kept honest, and new nobles are distributed.

“This is a big move, can the empire stand up to such a toss?”

Of course it can, and with that big move, it can survive almost eighty years, Carr said.

“If you don’t toss it well, the empire will die earlier and more suddenly, and if you toss the empire, it won’t die. If you toss it into a teenager, how can it die?”

“Now,” John said, puzzled.

“Prepare now, in a few years, the virus, republic, freedom, and nationalism in France are raging everywhere, and all countries are suppressing them, but the suppression of three or five years is fine. It exploded for a while.”

Karl knew about the revolution of 1848, so he was sure to be a god.

“Then wait until all countries in the world have problems

Otherwise, we will rectify it, and then it will be eaten by the British, French, Russian and Russian. “

“Uncle Gao see, of course we have to wait for them to be in chaos before we deal with it sternly.”

Well, it seems that the revolution has the least impact on Britain and Russia. The former is that the cake continues to grow, and there is little internal pressure; the latter is that the level of repression is high, and it cannot break out at all.

No, the big brown bear still has spare energy. You can see that he helped the old friend Austria to suppress the Hungarian revolution.

However, these two **** can’t be cheap, and I’ll light a fire for them at that time. If something goes wrong, everyone will have an accident, so why should you be clean.

Carl thought very wickedly, how to do it, we have to think again.

Anyway, Britain will choose Scotland and Ireland, especially Ireland, let them be more violent, send some money, send some arms or something, the British often do this too.

In Russia, let’s choose Moscow and St. Petersburg. Although the Decembrists died and were exiled, there are a lot of nobles who sympathize with them. The most important thing is that their children and grandchildren are all grown up and they can make trouble.

This wave of upstarts cannot be limited to military exploits or children of the royal family.

If you love the motherland Austria, science and education, industry, capital, miners, and landowners, you should give them a wave, give them a high political status, but not give them fiefs, and then create a public opinion that those who have fiefs are rotten people.

Of course, no matter whether it is the new rich or the old, the basic conditions are to respect and love the emperor, support the Habsburgs, and recognize and support the Austrian Empire. Without this premise, it is impossible.

Of course, this is Carl’s exclusive idea. How to implement it at that time, and to what extent, need to be negotiated to give a clear system.

“By the way, how do we get these small German states to join us, or make us more attractive, compared to Prussia.”

John seems to be talking to himself, but in fact it depends on whether Carl can do anything.

“It’s too difficult. Xiao Bangguo hopes that our two families will become smaller and similar to them, so that they will not be annexed by us. It is estimated that whoever gives good conditions will play with whomever.”

“It’s up for sale,” John said with a frown.

Carl hummed

“So, they were happy when Napoleon took off the hat of the Holy Roman Empire back then.”

John murmured, of course he knew it was true. At that time, a bunch of small states joined the Rhine Confederation and became the servant states of France, and they also attacked Austria with Napoleon.

“That’s for sure, who wants to have more than one father above, everyone wants to be someone else.

human father. “

Carl speaks the truth.

“What do you speculate about in the end?”

“It depends on who is stronger, who offers good conditions, who can fool around, and how many fools there are in these countries.”

Carl complained that he knew that Austria’s moral attraction was not bad, but its strength was not good, so he had to withdraw after the Prussian War.

Of course, it is not excluded that the countries can see that Prussia is strong. In addition to the iron, the wave of swinging from side to side supports the weak Austria, and fights against the strong Prussia, it is best to let them both lose.

“The point is, don’t go so far.”

“First of all, we are stronger than Prussia in righteousness. After all, we have ruled the German region, so if we are stronger, it will be more attractive.”

Carl still throws away the guessing part, in terms of more reliable strength.

“Are you still German? How can you say that you will leave seven points out of three.” John scolded.

Waiting for you here, Comrade John, Carl thought.

He just had to wait for John to be in a hurry before throwing out this method, so as to attract John.

“Uncle John, this is up to you. You have been a liberal for decades, the enlightened Grand Duke of the Austrian Empire. This requires your enlightenment and liberalism to deal with them.”

“How to say”

“Now those small capitals, huh, but they all regard you as a help for them to fight Lao Ha’s family. Then you continue to play this role, and of course you have to communicate frankly with them, that is, they have no future in the future, either with Prussia, or With Austria, such views can be shared with them.”

Everyone can see this, and so can John, but the authorities are confused and a little confused. He talked about this with the small German states, and they recognized John more, thinking that he was not phony and reliable.

“And then” John seemed to know something, but wanted to see what Carl thought.

“Then don’t say Austria’s conditions. Anyway, everyone can see that there is a formal team to negotiate with them, or a German state conference will be held to discuss this matter.”

“We have a regular assembly called the German Confederation. Austria is the initiator and leader, we are the chairman, and Prussia is the vice-chair.”

“Oh, there’s also a German Confederation, with several vice-presidents”

“No, Prussia is the only one, and it often competes with us for the dominance of the conference.”

“Then choose a few more vice-chairmen, first choose Bavaria, and then Hanover.

Kerson was selected. In this way, there will be someone on the same level as Prussia, and he can disperse his power. “

Karl felt that the German Confederation, which was so awesome, had only one vice-chairman seat. I was sorry for Eastern Wisdom. Our small county with 200,000 people could have 17 county magistrates.

“When we relax the conditions, and if we want to be stronger than Prussia, we can fool the southern states first, for example, get a Catholic district conference, such as connecting the railway with them, just All right.”

“You’re talking about Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg, Hesse, Saxony, etc.

Well, just a few of them, but now to be honest, the strength of our Austrian Empire is stronger than that of Prussia, but the strength of the Grand Duchy of Austria is actually far worse than that of Prussia. “

John was silent, feeling sorry for his ancestors.

“So firstly, we need to increase the strength of the Grand Duchy of Austria, and secondly, we need to convince those who are dissatisfied in the empire, so that they do not dare to move, or if they move, they will be killed quickly, unless they want to lead snakes out of their holes.”

John felt that Karl was a violent maniac and that it was a waste of him not to go to Prussia.

“Well, that’s what it means. This can strengthen the overall strength of the empire. It must not be that the sum of the strengths of each region is greater than them, but the total strength of the regions combined is smaller than them, which would be embarrassing.”

Carl also slowly realized the problem that the sum of the divided forces is good, but the combined force is not strong, and he continued to chase Carl

“After flickering in, don’t be another Hungarian, with a detached appearance.”

“First, Hungary is a Magyar, and the southern German families I just mentioned are Germans. Second, Hungary is our own. We know more about us than these countries. That’s why we Pride and arrogance.”

Carl continued

“Also, it can be relaxed in form, but in essence, it must be tightened. If nothing else, let’s talk about alliances, currency unification, and unification in various markets, such as unification of industrial standards.”

“Well, these are indeed very important, and they are silently moisturizing, and the industry association can handle it without the government’s intervention. Then it depends on who is stronger~www.mtlnovel.com~ Then whoever is stronger in the industry association will be able to handle it. If you grab it, you will be able to lead the unification of these technical standards.”

“What about you, uncle, just continue your character design, but you know what to do, don’t go too far. In this way, they think you are their own person who was placed in Austria, and we know that you are our own person who was placed in the country.”

“Double Agent”

“No, not at all, you are one of our people, pretending to be their spy, and you are not harming them, you are helping them.”

If they didn’t have our spies on their side, it would be half infernal. Carl sighed.

“If they were annexed by France, they would be a minority, and if they were annexed by Prussia, they would be a religious minority. Let them choose.”

At this time, everyone still attaches great importance to religion. The divine right of the emperor is the consensus of emperors, kings, and dukes.

That year, that is, in 1848, a group of small German states wanted to elect Wilhelm IV as the German Emperor, and Wilhelm IV refused without hesitation.

Why ha, a few of you selected, can have a fart, I need God to put a hat on me.

Hmph, the throne granted by the council is nothing but a “crown picked up on a ditch”, which I don’t want to wear.

Of course, there are other reasons, for example, the king does not have a veto power, but in the final analysis, it is a question of whether it is divine or not.

The logic of divine empowerment is that power is granted to me by God, and I will assign it to you. Of course, I have the right to veto.

The logic of the parliament granting the throne is that the power is given to you by the parliament, and you still veto it.

Only the parliament vetoes the emperor’s proposal, the emperor cannot veto the resolution of the council. ,,,
