Chapter 312: State funeral

By 1859, constitutionalism had become a hot topic in Austria, and even the birth of the little prince became a background board.
There is no alternative. The eldest son, Frederick, is more than two years old, and the crown prince has been appointed. As a second son, the outside world paid much less attention.
The court of Vienna still held the celebration as usual. In this era, the level of medical technology is limited, and each family attaches great importance to the next generation.
Almost every core member is born, and a celebration is held, which is a sign of family prosperity.
The Habsburgs were able to break through the siege of many European nobles and build a great empire by relying on many sons and blessings.
Not only the Habsburgs, but the facts that have been inherited for a long time, all have one thing in common: their ability to make people.
European aristocrats are not just worms. Even in the 19th century, they must always be ready to enter the battlefield. This is their responsibility and obligation.
This is not so wonderful for the crippled family. In case of bumping and bumping on the battlefield, with the medical conditions of this era, I could see God directly.
Then, it can only be cheaper for others. There is no doubt that the marriage between nobles is intricate and complicated. As long as the nobles have been passed down for hundreds of years, they can basically find their heirs from relatives.
This time Franz learned cleverly, and put all the alternative names together for arrest, yes, let the little ones catch them.
It ca n’t be regarded as scratching. The name written on the paper ball first caught is the name of the kid.
Queen Sophie objected: "Franz, isn't this too much? The little guy will grow up and think you don't value him!"
Franz resolutely denied: "How could it be that I officially let the little one decide for myself because of respect for his opinion!"
Queen Sophie asked in a circle: "But how do you explain to Frederick?"
Franz said without changing his face, "It's okay, we can just tell him."
"If several paper are caught at the same time, are they added together?" Helen asked in confusion.
Franz was almost shocked, and he finally understood why some Europeans had such long names.
Quickly denied: "Of course not, if this happens, then come again."
This kind of stupid thing can't be done. It's not a good thing to have a long name. As a father, if you ca n’t even remember your son ’s name, you ’re finished.
Seeing the lively Grand Duke Carl added: "Let's get started, but I don't think it's as good as the help of this brother Frederick. The little guy is afraid of weakness."
Two cold lights shot over, Franz smiled awkwardly, and was just born a little guy, afraid that this epic task would not be completed.
The wonderful trick he had thought out painfully became a child's play in an instant. It was impossible for Frederick to do the work. If it did, it would be a stain that Franz couldn't wash away in his life.
Franz thought for a while and said, "Let God decide, I'll catch the little ones!"
As soon as the words fell, his hand had grabbed the paper ball prepared in advance and opened it in front of everyone-Peter.
After confirming the little guy's name, Franz quickly left the scene.
...
"Sir, the old Marshal passed away last night!"
The maid's slightly panic sounded, and Franz's face changed. There is only one who can be regarded as the old Marshal in Austria-John Joseph Wenzel Radski von Radez.
In terms of age, Marshal Radsky is 92 years old, one year more than in history. In this age where the average life expectancy is less than 40 years, it is completely high life.
Franz was prepared for it, but Marshal Radsky still went a little abruptly without warning.
"Notify the Cabinet to prepare the state funeral. I will personally preside over the funeral for the old Marshal. The order continues and the country mourns for 14 days."
The Marshal of bohemian aristocracy contributed his life to the Habsburgs and never participated in politics.
Even after being appointed as the chief of staff, he only focused on his job, never participated in the struggle for rights, and only loyal to the emperor. He was a model for the military.
While alive, out of the monarch's instinct, Franz didn't dare to hold him too high; the situation was different when he died, and naturally he had to follow the highest specifications.
With the achievements of Marshal Radsky, it is worthy of this treatment, and Franz is not afraid of anyone's opinion.
Peter was tragedy. When he was born, he was preempted by the Constitution. He just caught up with the death of Marshal Radsky and was directly ignored by the outside world.
Franz can be sure that all the newspapers in Vienna tomorrow will be news of Marshal Radsky's death and a state funeral.
The emergence of the telegraph made the European continent closer, and the news of Marshal Radsky's death was not kept secret and was quickly passed on.
Several rejoiced and some rejoiced.
Austria naturally mourns, and the old Marshal is still very popular. Many people spontaneously organized to see off the old marshal.
Napoleon III sent representatives to the funeral. A pure soldier is always easy to be respected, even if it is a former enemy.
Of course, this is also a matter of time. After so many years of anti-French war, the hatred on both sides has long been forgotten.
It is more likely that the French had too many enemies, and Austria was not ranked, and Britain and Russia were the main forces in pulling hatred.
Marshal Radsky was only a small in the anti-French war, despite winning several local wars. Each one on the battlefield is not their own hostility.
If rejoicing, should the Kingdom of Sardinia have it? They did not even send representatives. If it was not for Marshal Radsky, they would not have lost so badly in the Osama war.
After all, the situation in Austria was not very good at the time, without the command of the old marshal, Franz did not dare to launch a counterattack.
Had it not been for the country-fighting war ten years ago and lost two to three hundred thousand young people, now they would not have been so tragedy, and they would have no resistance.
...
As it turned out, Franz thought too much, and the Sardinian government was not happy at all.
The Prime Minister of Govern has been fired. There is no doubt that this must be related to the charcoal burning party.
Not only him, all members of the Coal Burning Party in the government were removed from office and reviewed by the delegation.
As for the charcoal burning party leaders, this time has long gone. If such a big thing happened, how could embody the supremacy of imperial power if not kill a few people to worship the flag?
Franz was not Napoleon III, and he would never relent in this matter. Since the charcoal burning party planned the assassination case, he will pursue it to the end.
Regardless of whether or not the charcoal burning party is involved, they must go to the guillotine. It doesn't matter if the person under his control is sin.
If they are not advocating and guiding these secondary two teenagers, it is estimated that they will not run out as assassins based on their brains.
It would be nice to stay in the Sardinian demonstrations, even if it besiege the Capitol, Franz would not interfere, but running out to assassinate him would not work.
If you don't kill a hundred people, who knows when another assassin appears?
If these people don't run, they will need to be charged. It is no longer needed and the Joint Investigation Mission has issued a warrant.
To catch people, Franz didn't have much hope. In this era, there is no identity household registration. It is difficult to find out if you change your name or place where no one knows them.
Knowing that those who ran the first time were smart people, the unlucky response was a bit slow, and now they have entered the prison.
A young man appeared at his home in Gafur, and asked with a sad face, "Her Count, what now?
My father was arrested, and the investigation team asked us to prove our innocence. If we can't prove that it has nothing to do with this assassination, we will consider it a conspiracy. "
Gafur said with a somber face, "Kelder, I want to know if you have planned this assassination, or did you know in advance that they were going to assassinate?
This is very important. You have to tell the truth before I can find a way to save your father from coming out. "
Kelder was about to cry. Conscience, even though he had a good relationship with the radicals, he also participated in some activities organized by the radicals, but he really knew nothing about the assassination.
Not to mention his father, a capitalist in the Kingdom of Sardinia usually did not participate in specific activities at all, but only provided funds for the charcoal burning party.
For the convenience of doing business, a name was hung in the party.
The tragedy is this honorable post, which is a little higher. After several big men ran by, his father's top management was also arrested by the investigation team.
"My Excellency, I really don't know. You know, my father is not a high-ranking party at all, and never participates in the party's affairs."
Gafur nodded, and he knew it. If it was normal, he would surely die to protect Kelder's father, which is also his master.
Things are different now, and the situation is completely out of control. He just wanted to save people, but he was powerless.
In any case, the mastermind of the assassination must be found out, otherwise there is no way to explain to the international community.
If the case cannot be resolved, the French occupation of the Kingdom of Sardinia for a long time will become an established fact.
Now the British still use all countries to contain the French, and have not let them occupy the entire Sardinian kingdom. If the killer can be identified in a timely manner, international pressure can also be used to force the French to withdraw, of course, land reparation compensation is indispensable.
Gafur explained: "The situation is very complicated now, and the positions of representatives of different countries are different, and we have been deprived of the right to speak.
The goal of the Austrians this time is to find the black hands behind the scenes. If there is an answer that they can accept, and then apologize, then this thing will pass.
The trouble is for the French, who want to use this assassination to annex the kingdom of Sardinia, and even more frightening is that the Vienna government has acquiesced in their approach.
The Russians can't reach it. As long as the Vienna government does not object, the tsarist government will not support us. It is said that Nicholas I was also very angry at the assassination.
Fortunately, the British are still supporting us. As long as we find the black hands behind the scenes, there is still room for maneuver. "
Kelder wasn't a fool. He had already heard the meaning of Gafur. If you can't find the black hand behind the scenes, you have to find someone to do it.
And this black pot is not easy to carry, not only to go to the guillotine, but also to get the approval of the investigation team.
The people who can carry the pot are running away again. The remaining people are not qualified, even if they want to carry the pot.
"So, my father is not in danger for the time being?" Kelder asked
Gafur nodded and said, "You now find a way to raise a sum of money, call the investigation team and explain to them.
Everyone knows that the real mastermind has run away, as long as you feed them, your father will be fine. "
When he said that, Gafur himself didn't believe it. Representatives of other countries are good at saying that as long as it has nothing to do with their own money, one eye will pass and one eye will be closed.
Will the representatives of France and Austria dare to release water? In case you really can't find the black hand behind the scenes, the only way is that the entire charcoal party is a black hand.
Don't let go of any mistakes. As long as the suspects are wiped away, it doesn't matter who the real culprit is.
For the two plots to assassinate the king, killing hundreds of suspects who may have been murderers is not worth mentioning at all.
Don't expect anyone to take the lead for them. No monarchy will vote against this issue.
Kelder nodded reluctantly, he understood that Cuffell was speechless at this time. Knowing that the Prime Minister of Gafur was removed from office, he did not have much hope, and now he can find a way, which is considered good.
Trying to rescue my father is only one aspect. What's more important is that the crime is too big for the family to run away.
As long as the Assassin case is involved, don't say that he broke out in the family, even the old nobles will be finished.
