Chapter 42: Military preparation

"His Highness, in view of the current domestic situation, I propose to immediately double the number of the Vienna City Defense Forces, and set up a 200,000 rebel army to suppress the domestic rebellion!" Prime Minister Felix said fiercely
In suppressing the rebellion, everyone's positions are the same, and no aristocrat likes the Revolutionary Party.
"The proposal of Your Excellency the Prime Minister is very good. The City Defense Forces are replenishing. The waste that was previously inactive in the Vienna rebellion. I see them ordered to retire!
It is urgent to set up the rebel army. Lieutenant General Albrecht did a good job in suppressing the Vienna rebellion. I think he will be responsible for it! "
Franz did not hesitate to bring in the private goods, not only took the opportunity to clean up the maggots in the city defense army, replaced his own people, but also extended his hands to the rebel army to be formed soon.
"His Royal Highness, the establishment of a major military rebellion is critical. Lieutenant General Albrecht may not be too busy. It is better to let Marshal Radsky and Prince Wendy Schgrez come back to preside over the whole situation." Felix fought.
(Remarks: Marshal Radsky, Prince Wendy Schgrez rescued the Austrian Triad, the former suppressed the Italian rebellion, and the latter suppressed the Prague and Vienna rebellions)
These two are big men in the Austrian army. If they return, Albrecht can only stand aside, and Prince Wendy Schgrez is the little sister-in-law of Felix, and it is even more impossible for him to return.
However, this is not to be missed by Franz, who said immediately: "These two are indeed the best candidates. Unfortunately, the rebellion has already broken out in Lombardy. At this time, we transferred Marshal Radsky, who is responsible for counterinsurgency. How about it?
In my opinion, Marshal Radkis is also appointed Governor of Lombardy and Venice, and he is fully responsible for the counterinsurgency work in Italy.
An additional 50,000 troops will be mobilized from Austria to reinforce the Italian region in an effort to suppress the rebellion in the shortest possible time.
And now that Bohemia (Czech Republic) is also unstable, we have transferred Prince Windisch Graz, who is responsible for suppressing a possible rebellion? "
The front line needs them to command the suppression of the rebellion. This reason is very strong. Since Franz raised it, no one dares to change people easily, otherwise there must be responsibility for the front line if something goes wrong.
Austria is still the Austria of the Habsburgs. Even if the Prime Minister Felix is ​​very strong, he can only concede in the face of Franz's insistence.
Political struggle is very complicated, and today's concessions mean that in the years to come, the Austrian government will focus on Franz and the cabinet will be in a subsidiary position.
Seeing no objection, Franz said, "Given the special situation in Hungary, we must also take action.
I propose to use Josip Jelacic as a senior Croatian official and concurrently the commander of the City Defense Forces;
(Josip Jelacic rescued one of the Austrian triads, and his main achievements stabilized Croatia and participated in the suppression of the Vienna and Hungarian rebellions.)
Appointed Julius Jacob von Heinau as high-ranking official in the Slovak region and commander of city defense in preparation for the town's Hungarian rebellion. "
(Note: Marshal Julius Jacob von Heinau, Austria, is known for his brutal suppression of the Italian and Hungarian rebellions, and has become: the executioner of Arad, the hyena of Brescia, and the Tiger of Habsburg.)
Franz's plan is very simple. It is to enable the heroes in the history of the Austrian rebellion in advance, and those failed buckets do not need to give the enemy a head.
"His Royal Highness, now that the rebellion in Hungary has not yet occurred, we will do so, I am afraid it will have a great adverse effect!" Felix thought for a while and said
He did not expect that at this time the Vienna government was still negotiating with the Hungarians, and the Crown Prince was directly preparing to suppress the rebellion, which was completely undermining the negotiations.
However, once the Hungarians really rebelled, these arrangements were very useful. Croatia and Slovakia are the territory of the Hungarian kingdom in this era, but the people above are inclined to Austria.
Taking control of these two places in advance is very useful for suppressing the Hungarian rebellion. In history, the Hungarian rebellion was suppressed, and the Croatian province used 40,000 troops.
Franz shook his head and said, "Sir Prime Minister, do you think it would be good for the Hungarians to stay this way?
In the past so many years, the Vienna government has made concessions to them many times. If such concessions continue, it might as well let them stand alone! "
This is not nonsense. Hungary is now nominally part of the Austrian Empire, but taxes in the Hungarian region have nothing to do with the central government in Vienna. Even tariffs exist between Austria and Hungary.
They even claimed that Austria was oppressing and exploiting Hungary, which was completely nonsense in Franz's eyes.
The Vienna government has obtained certain benefits from Hungary, but Austria protects Hungary's security, so there is no need to collect protection fees?
If it leaves Austria, Hungary will either be annexed by the Russians or the Ottomans, and the end result will only be worse than it is now.
On the surface, Austria's industry is more developed, and Hungary mainly develops agriculture and has become a market for Austrian goods.
In fact, this era is weak meat and strong food. As a weak person, you cannot ask the strong one too much. Even for ordinary Hungarian people, the Habsburgs are still defenders of their interests.
Under the current system, only the capitalists and aristocrats in Hungary are the ones whose real interests have been damaged. It is only the capitalists and aristocrats who have always wanted to be troubled.
After the Great Revolution, some people once commented that the Hungarian Kingdom of more than 10 million people had only 500,000 Hungarian nations.
In fact, half a million capitalists and aristocrats are actually exploiting and oppressing the Hungarians. Now Franz is ready to kill the maggots and distribute their land to the Hungarian people.
So instead of suppressing the revolution this time, it will bring revolution to the Kingdom of Hungary and truly liberate more than 10 million ordinary Hungarian people.
There will be bread and milk. In this regard, Franz considers himself a sacred cause.
"His Royal Highness cannot say that, Hungary is our granary, and as an sacred part of the empire, we must not let them be independent!" Felix said seriously
Franz said with a smile: "Prime Minister, don't be so nervous, I just told the fact that Hungarians want reform, but all of this must be based on integration into Austria.
Just want to gain, but not to pay the price, where is there such a good thing in the world? Rather than just pulling the skin with them every day, it is better to solve it all at once! "
