Chapter 33: March revolution

Go out?
This is impossible, Metternich is not stupid, at this time the enemy is waiting for him to go out?
Don't try to explain, it is more likely that he just came forward, and someone rushed to his death and caused the established facts.
This kind of thing happened in history not only together, most of it was brought by Spring and Autumn style, maybe it was darkened again, and turned into the scene of being killed by angry people.
If the explanation is useful, the political struggle is not so complicated.
"Sir Prime Minister, order the demonstrators to be evicted, or the situation will soon be out of control!"
It was Oppenheimer, the head of the Vienna Police Department, who was under the most stress when such a big thing happened. Many people in the government think that Metternich is gone, and at this time are preparing for the road.
It's a pity that others can leave, he can't run away as a police chief. Once Metternich falls, he will follow suit, or he will be liquidated.
Metternich wandered a few steps, and finally made up his mind: "Order the city defense forces to disperse the crowd!"
Waiting for his order to come out, the situation outside is out of control. The revolutionaries in the crowd spotted the opportunity, fired a shot at the soldiers who were intercepted, and under the habitual reflection, the soldiers also pulled the trigger.
"The army killed!"
After a loud shout, the crowd soon fled into chaos.
There is no need to disperse the crowd this time, everyone has dispersed.
It's just that the aftermath is very serious. Except for a small number of people, most of them know that the army has shot and killed people.
The revolutionary party, which provoked disputes, was naturally covered up.
The angry people, at this time are flickering to launch a revolution. The capitalists have found a way to raise some weapons, and this time they also sent them over.
Some passionate youth were selected, the revolutionary armed forces were established, and the rebels attacked the police branch that night. Already turned to the revolutionary party's city government in Vienna, this time facilitated the rebels.
When the revolutionary gunfire sounded, the situation in Vienna soon went out of control, and the mud couldn't help the wall.
The remaining city defense forces deserved the name of their waste. After a brief exchange of fire, the timid aristocratic officer actually flinched and did not suppress the rebellion in the first place.
The police in Vienna, because of the defeat of the city government, became blindly obsessed and temporarily remained neutral.
To a certain extent, this uprising was also a palace coup, and some of the nobles who were trapped in the economic crisis, at this time abandoned their class stance and stood on the side of the Revolutionary Party.
They attempted to reorganize the regime through revolutionary means, by the way, revolutionized the bankers and got rid of the debt crisis.
History has changed. The insurgents seized the bank and burned the debit receipts as soon as possible. The Austrian financial conglomerate fell bloody.
Facing the chaotic situation, Prime Minister Metternich panicked, the nobles panicked, the Regent Committee panicked, and the Vienna court panicked.
The February Revolution in France has just passed. They are still watching French jokes and did not expect that the crisis would spread to Vienna so quickly.
This is the second great revolution for the French. The previous time has severely damaged the aristocratic class. Serfdom has long been abolished and the privileges of the aristocracy no longer exist.
This is just the beginning of Austria. The aristocracy still has a lot of privileges and a lot of benefits. This revolution is clearly directed at them.
According to French practice, they may be sent to the gallows, or they may be killed by random soldiers. Prime Minister Metternich has long been calm, and at this time he has nothing to do.
As a qualified backman, Metternich is the most abominable person in the eyes of the people. Once he falls into the hands of the rebels, it is how to die.
A man in a tuxedo said anxiously, "Master Duke, the carriage is ready, let's go, it won't be too late!"
Metternich was engaged in a fierce struggle. He knew that at this time, he had become a target and it was very dangerous to stay in Vienna.
However, as a nobleman, he also had his own pride and did not want to be a deserter. As early as this morning, he sent away his family and left alone to deal with the situation at hand.
"Hold, I ..."
Without waiting for Metternich to speak out, Holder responded, giving full play to the role of a good housekeeper, and commanding: "Some of you, please take the Lord Duke away!"
These guards were all the ministers of Prime Minister Metternich, and no loyalty was asked. At this time, everyone couldn't care less.
Ignoring the struggle of Prime Minister Metternich, he was forced to stay in an old wagon and hurried away from Vienna. At the same time, someone drove to the palace with his most commonly used carriage.
Seeing loyalty in times of trouble, it is time for the noblemen's family members to make full use of it. Not only Prime Minister Metternich, but also many aristocrats chose to flee Vienna at this time.
Now the only safe place in Vienna is the Royal Palace. Most of the soldiers in the rebel army are still in awe of the emperor. They refuse to attack the palace, and the Revolutionaries are powerless.
Even within the Revolutionary Party, many people did not have a good plan to overthrow the Habsburgs. Most of them were actually reformists and joined the Revolutionary Party after despair of reform.
At this time, there were a lot of messy revolutionary armed forces, and they could not even establish a unified leadership organization, and they fought on their own.
Most of the insurgents did not even have guns, and the weapons in their hands were as varied as if time went back to the Middle Ages.
Many ordinary people have no interest in revolution. In fact, there is no market for revolutionary ideas in Austria. After venting their anger, many people dispersed.
In order to strengthen its own ranks and to suppress the growing working-class armed forces, the Revolutionary Party desperately pulls people together. The rebel army just started has undergone a qualitative change and has become a good and bad.
For example, in the name of liberating political prisoners, all prisoners in Vienna prisons were released, and many of the most vicious criminals were transformed into members of the Revolutionary Party.
Gangsters, gangsters, came out at this time to robbery, murder, arson, robbery, of various flower-style crimes, constantly staged in Vienna.
It was not the aristocracy that was hit first, but ordinary Viennese citizens, small businessmen, and the middle class.
The dark night covered the endless evil, and Vienna, an international metropolis, sank into the ocean of evil on this night.
