"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here!"
Following the attendant's call, the young emperor, who was sitting at the desk near the window, just put the quill dipped in ink back into the pen holder and twisted his chair to face Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg.
Looking at the haggard-looking young emperor in front of him, Felix Schwarzenberg saluted him humbly and said, "Your Majesty!"
The young emperor showed a meticulous look, pointed to the sofa next to him and said: "Prime Minister Felix, sit down and talk!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Felix Schwarzenberg sat on the hard sofa.
"Prime Minister Felix, why did you come to my place?" Franz Joseph, who was only 19 years old and still had not gotten rid of his youthful age. He hated political speeches and asked Felix directly. Schwarzenberg.
"That's it..." Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg first told Franz Joseph about Bach's plan to divide Hungary.
Due to the influence of the European Revolution of 1948, Franz Joseph's hatred for the Hungarian nation was close to Max's. Now he just wants to completely turn the Magyar nation into a historical noun.
"Excellent! Prime Minister Felix, I believe that according to your proposed plan, it won't take many years for us to completely turn those damn Magyars into history!" Fernando's indifferent expression finally showed joy. Lanz Joseph clenched his fists and said to Felix Schwarzenberg.
"Your Majesty, such behavior is beneath your noble status!" Felix Schwarzenberg had to carefully remind Franz Joseph to act in accordance with Austrian rules and etiquette.
In the Austrian Empire, maintaining noble etiquette is a rule that every Austrian noble must master.
Franz Joseph quickly unclenched his fist and continued to say to Felix Schwarzenberg with a straight face: "Sorry, Mr. Prime Minister!"
Later, Franz Joseph began to put forward his "opinions" on Bach's plan to divide the Kingdom of Hungary. He said to Felix Schwarzenberg with murderous intent: "Prime Minister Felix, I think that in Before officially dividing Hungary, we should solve the problem of Hungarian rebels!"
"Your Majesty, the Hungarian rebels have been defeated by the army of the Imperial United Tsar!" Felix Schwarzenberg didn't understand what Emperor Franz Joseph meant, or what Felix Schwarzenberg meant He never thought that the monarch he was loyal to would be so "cruel".
"Your Excellency Prime Minister! If we do not completely eliminate the root cause of the Hungarian rebellion, the empire's reform of Hungary will never be successful!" Franz Joseph said to Felix Schwarzenberg according to his own opinion: " We should behead all the rebel leaders!"
Felix Schwarzenberg was stunned by Franz Joseph's murderous words. He never thought that Franz Joseph would have this side.
Except for a small part of the middle class like Kossuth who led the rebellion in the Kingdom of Hungary, most of the members were small nobles in the Hungarian countryside.
If it is resolved according to Franz Joseph's instructions, it will be tantamount to exacerbating the hostility of the Hungarian people and making it difficult for the Austrian Empire to implement its policy in Hungary.
"Your Majesty!" Felix Schwarzenberg still maintained a respectful attitude and replied bravely: "I think we don't need to kill all of them!"
"Do we have to wait until they launch the second and third rebellion?" Franz Joseph said decisively: "The empire was so kind to Hungary that they began to press against the empire step by step. The only way is to kill them all Only through those Hungarian rebels can the empire truly gain long-term peace!"
Franz Joseph's categorical attitude made Felix Schwarzenberg give up arguing with him on this issue. He was just the prime minister of the empire, so how could he strongly oppose the emperor's policies.
The greatest tragedy of the authoritarian system is this!
Felix Schwarzenberg, who originally wanted to capture the large and let go of the small Hungarian nobles to gain the gratitude of the small and medium-sized Hungarian nobles and thus make the road to provincialization of Hungary smoother, could not reverse Franz Joseph's plan to suppress all those who participated in the rebellion. Felix Schwarzenberg, who was deeply aware of the emperor's constraints and wanted to execute all the middle and high-level officials in Hungary, had a thought of disrespect flashing through his mind.
Felix Schwarzenberg's silence convinced Franz Joseph of his "correctness", and he said to Felix Schwarzenberg: "I originally wanted to let Albrecht He went to Hungary to serve as executioner, but Albrecht was unwilling to take up this position. Now we have to let Marshal Heinau go to Hungary to execute those damn traitors, what do you think?"
Franz Joseph seemed to be seeking Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg's opinion, but in fact he was just reporting to Felix Schwarzenberg.
"Your Majesty, Marshal Hainaut is undoubtedly the best choice!" Felix Schwarzenberg, knowing that he could not reverse Franz Joseph's idea, could only respond along Franz Joseph's train of thought.
"Excellent! The transfer of Marshal Heinau will be left to you!" Franz Joseph said to Felix Schwarzenberg.
"Yes!" Felix Schwarzenberg responded.
He then told Franz Joseph about the contents of the upcoming treaty between the Austrian Empire and the Sardinian Kingdom, which included: 1. The Kingdom of Sardinia gave up its claims to Lombardy and Venice. 2. The Sardinian Dynasty needs to pay an indemnity of 70 million to the Austrian Empire. 3. The Kingdom of Sardinia needs to form an alliance with the Austrian Empire. 4. The Sardinian Dynasty needs to recognize the territorial boundaries of 1815.
"We have fought two wars with that damn rebel, and now we only ask them for 70 million francs? Do we want to form an alliance with them?" Franz Joseph looked at Felix Schwa in surprise with his eyes wide open. Zenberg said.
Franz Joseph couldn't believe his ears. It was clearly the Kingdom of Sardinia that provoked first, but in the end, the Austrian Empire spent money and people died, and the war compensation was not enough to send troops twice.
As for the first, third, and fourth treaties, they do not seem to be punishments for the Kingdom of Sardinia, but they seem to be specially designed to protect the Sardinian Dynasty.
Franz Joseph, who advocates power politics in his heart, obviously does not understand what Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg means.
Felix Schwarzenberg could only explain to Franz Joseph earnestly: "Your Majesty, the enemy of the empire has never been the Kingdom of Sardinia! When Prince Metternich merged the Republic of Genoa into the Kingdom of Sardinia, his purpose was to To prevent France from bordering the Empire, the Kingdom of Sardinia serves as a barrier to protect the Austrian Empire!
If we criticize the Kingdom of Sardinia too harshly, it will cause the Kingdom of Sardinia to surrender to France! Then the territory of the empire will directly border France, and France can drive straight into the Apennines. If we fail to provide timely support, I'm afraid..."
Felix Schwarzenberg did not continue. Even if he didn’t say the next words, he said that Franz Joseph also understood.
The next plot may be like when Napoleon penetrated into the Apennine Peninsula.
It's just that the French army is definitely far inferior to the army led by Napoleon. The Austrian army can't find anyone with the same extraordinary command ability as Archduke Karl. Marshal Radetzky's lifespan is also a big problem.
"Prime Minister Felix, how can you ensure that the Kingdom of Sardinia will not betray the empire again!" Franz Joseph asked Felix Schwarzenberg again.
"Your Majesty, the reason why the Sardinian Dynasty declared war on the empire last year was not only that the previous king himself wanted to expand the Sardinian Dynasty, but more importantly, the revolutionary wave in the Apennine Peninsula forced them to make a choice! Or the subjects under their rule Abandon it, or use this wave to declare war on Austria!" Felix Schwarzenberg paused and then said:. "Now, we have suppressed this wave! Sardinia has made another choice, we just need not to force them so hard that they will turn to France! Now that the new king has succeeded, we can start from the Habsburg family Choose one of them to marry them, so that they will not turn to France."
Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg, who adhered to Metternich's pragmatism, decided to sacrifice another Habsburg princess.
In Felix Schwarzenberg's view, no matter how much blessing you receive, you must pay a price. Since the princess of the Habsburg family followed God's will and joined the Habsburg family, she should serve the Habsburg family. The Fort family gave everything they had.
After Franz Joseph was silent for a long time, he spoke again: "Prime Minister Felix, you remind me of my teacher Prince Metternich!"
"It's such an honor to be compared with Prince Metternich!" Schwarzenberg responded with a pretended to be flattered.
"One more thing!" Franz Joseph brought the letter paper placed on the table to Schwarzenberg and said: "This is a letter sent to me by the teacher in London. In the letter, he said that he wanted to return to the Empire. . I think the prince is too lonely in London alone. Now that the revolution in Austria is over, I hope that the teacher can return to Austria to live his life. Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Felix Schwarzenberg was shocked when he heard that Metternich wanted to return to Austria. He had obtained the position of Prime Minister from Metternich. When he heard that Franz Joseph just said that Metternich would Prince Tene came back to take care of his old age, and Felix Schwarzenberg's heart settled down again.
"Of course I agree with the return of Prince Metternich. As an outstanding politician who has served Austria for more than 30 years, it is a huge tragedy for the empire and the prince himself to be wandering alone."
